Chapter 58: Homicide
After returning home, Shen Lian turned on the Xueba mode, studying the content of the sword book day and night, and soon comprehended the essence.
There is only one sword duel in the whole book, and the name is Changhong Guanri.
If the world is unfair, one sword will cut it, if not, then two swords.
This is the truth that Shen Lian summed up after he understood it.
But Changhong Guanri seems to have a sequelae, after Shen Lian finished his studies, he always felt that he was easy to be impulsive, and his temper became a little irritable.
A long time has passed since the case of the Jin Doushan Demon Clan, and Shen Lian heard from Jin Yuze that the Shadow Secret Guard has been investigating for a long time and has not come to any useful conclusions, except that these two monsters are really from the Western Regions Demon Court, there is no other information.
The relationship between the Demon Court in the Western Regions and the Dayu Dynasty is quite harmonious, even in the border area, there has been no bloodshed, but it is the Demon Court's sworn enemy, the Buddha Kingdom, which often harasses the Dayu border, causing the people to be displaced.
As the royal family's festival of worshipping the heavens is getting closer and closer, this matter is put aside for the time being, and the shadow guards must do their best to maintain law and order in the capital.
Shen Lian's hall was originally responsible for patrolling the area around the Jiaofang Division, but he was also temporarily transferred to the outer city.
"Hey, the low-level servants have no human rights, why can the leader stay in the area of the Teaching Workshop Division, and we have to come to the outer city?" Jin Yuze complained while eating the sugar gourd he had just bought.
It's not that he thinks the outer city patrol is bad, but he already lives in the outer city, but every morning he has to go to the inner city yamen to order something, and then return to the outer city to patrol, toss!
"I can answer you this question, the head is a hundred households, are you?"
After learning Changhong Guan, with the skills of the body, Shen Lian's self-confidence exploded, and even the upper errand was much more active than before, and even secretly looked forward to meeting some gangster, so that he could actually fight the sword moves.
Listening to Shen Lian's point-to-point answer, Jin Yuze was suddenly deflated, he was still indignant, and immediately became honest.
Yes, people are leaders.
"Childe, come and play?"
Suddenly, the three of them heard the woman's crisp seductive voice from the attic next to them.
On the balcony on the second floor of Fengming Building, several girls dressed in flowers and branches were lying on the guardrail, holding handkerchiefs in their hands, scratching their heads at the pedestrians coming and going on the road.
"Fengming Building is the best green building in the outer city, it is said to be second only to the Teaching Workshop Division, let's go in and take a look?" Jin Yuze's eyes lit up, staring at a girl with a big face and swallowing saliva.
"Agreed." Zhou Tianlu also found his goal.
Shen Lian was not interested.
A few days ago, due to the physical and mental exhaustion caused by the cultivation of sword scores, Shen Lian planned to go to Miss Yunshuang, listen to small songs, watch dances, and relax.
Unexpectedly, this night, Miss Yunshuang asked Shen Lian to stay overnight.
At that time, Shen Lian was so excited that after taking a petal bath and getting into the quilt, he realized that Rushuang had come to the sunflower.
Fool me?
Shen Lian immediately got angry and turned around to leave.
But Yunshuang only used one trick to speak smartly, and Shen Lian immediately chose to forgive her.
That night, Shen Lian experienced an unprecedented experience, and his whole person was sublimated.
I slept until noon the next day and didn't wake up.
"Don't say goodbye, during the special period, let's patrol the streets seriously, in case there is a basket, we can't afford it." Shen Lian stopped the two colleagues from wanting to be lazy.
Jin Yuze thought about it, and his heart was too, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was a major event that all levels and departments of the imperial court attached great importance to, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for it, and the emperor personally presided over it.
"Rack! Frame! ”
Suddenly, a group of officials wearing fast hunting clothes galloped in front of Shen Lian and the others, led by a heroic woman with a long ponytail and a silver moon spear in her hand.
It was the Jingzhao Mansion chief arrester who dealt with the Jindou Mountain Demon Clan with them a few days ago.
The latter also saw the three people who were patrolling the street, and she immediately waved her hand to stop the team, pulled up the reins, turned the horse's head, and came to Shen Lian.
"Yu Zhutou, where are you going in a hurry?" Shen Lian took the initiative to greet the other party.
"Jingzhao Mansion received a report that a small flag official of Yulinwei who lived on Xiangyang Road was killed at home, and we are rushing over to investigate." Yu Jingting's face was solemn.
What?
Shen Lian was suddenly shocked.
Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu on the side looked at each other even more.
Yu Linwei is an agency in charge of the security of the palace, and at this juncture, a small flag officer was killed, which makes people have to be vigilant.
"Xiangyang Road is also within the scope of our patrol this time, Yu Catcher will go first, and we will arrive later." Jin Yuze arched his hand at Yu Jingting, and said with a straight face.
"Okay."
Time is pressing, the investigation is the first, Yu Jingting did not stop, agreed, immediately took her subordinates to turn the horse's head, and hurried to Xiangyang Road.
Shen Lian and the three of them immediately moved and went on foot.
Looking at the horses that had disappeared in front of him, Zhou Tianlu suddenly said, "Why didn't we borrow two horses from Jingzhao Mansion just now?" ”
Catching fast travel, it is generally one person and one horse, but if two people ride one, it is no problem.
Shen Lian: "......."
Jin Yuze: "......."
Both of them also forgot about this stubble.
Fengming Tower is a certain distance from Xiangyang Road, and when the three of them arrived, it had already passed nearly two quarters of an hour.
At the gate of a house, Shen Lian saw Yu Jingting's horses tied to a tree on the side of the road.
Before entering the gate of the house, Shen Lian heard the crying voices of the ladies in the family.
In the courtyard, several Jingzhao Mansion catchers were questioning.
Shen Lian didn't see Yu Jingting in the courtyard, presumably in the house.
After saying hello to the catchers in the courtyard, Shen Lian walked into the house.
In the study, the deceased was lying on the table, blood covering the entire table, and the floor was also everywhere, but it was dry.
There was no need for an autopsy, Shen Lian just glanced at it and immediately judged that he was dead.
At this time, Yu Jingting was searching the house with several arresters, trying to grasp some clues.
Shen Lian stepped forward, stood beside Yu Jingting, and asked, "What did you find?" ”
Yu Jingting's face was solemn, her brows were deeply furrowed, she shook her head and said: "There are no valuable clues, the windows are intact, locked from the inside, there are no traces of being pried at all, there are no footprints on the windowsills, and the same is true for the ceiling and beams; But the door was unlocked, and we preliminarily judged that the murderer opened the door and left after the killing. ”
Shen Lian nodded, cautiously circled around the corpse, and said in a low voice, "Is there any trace of the door lock being pried open?" ”
"No, it's intact." Yu Jingting replied.
"That's an acquaintance committing a crime." Shen Lian said.
Yu Jingting was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart that you are talking nonsense? So he asked, "How so?" ”
Shen Lian pointed to the doors, windows and roof, and said, "Since you have found out that the doors and windows are intact and have not been pried, and there are no traces of the beams and ceilings, it means that the murderer did not break in here, but was invited by the deceased, and after killing people, he left through the main entrance." ”
"Then why can't you kill yourself? The deceased committed suicide by slitting his throat. Yu Jingting asked.
Shen Lian Yaoyao walked behind the corpse and said, "You come here." ”
As he spoke, he slowly parted the hair on the back of the deceased's head.
Yu Jingting's eyes widened suddenly, and the entire back of the deceased's head completely collapsed, and the skull was shattered.
"This..." she stared at Shen Lian with a shocked look on her face, looking at Shen Lian speechless.
