Chapter 406: An Analysis Approaching the Truth
"I understand. Xiao Tian nodded and got straight to the point, "The army turned back because of the assassination of the Emperor of the Autumn Season!"
"And then?" Luo Fan naturally didn't express surprise for well-known reasons, and asked directly.
"Before the assassination of the Emperor, I discussed with Marshal Qiudu and General Wang Cheng, and at that time drove us guards into the distance, and I was the closest guard to the meeting room. Xiao Tian said, "At that time, I didn't know what they were discussing at all, but I heard Marshal Qiudu's panicked call to wait for me to go in, and I heard Marshal Qiudu's voice at that time, and the first to enter the living room was to see Emperor Qiudu hit a dagger, and General Wangcheng was lying on the ground. ”
"Is it Wang Chengxing's assassination of the Emperor?" Luo Fan said casually.
"It's not. "Xiao/Tian shook his head," said Marshal Qiudu, an assassin who had assassinated him, and then injured the emperor and killed Wang Cheng, before finally retreating in panic. ”
"What?" Luo Fan and Qiu Feng glanced at each other, both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and Luo Fan hurriedly asked, "How much is the difference between the time when the assassination occurred and the time when the army turned?"
"It won't be more than ten breaths. Xiao Tian said simply, "From the time I went in, to the time I conveyed the order for the army to turn, that is, seven or eight breaths, because so many Yuanli cars are walking, and we have commanders on each Yuanli car, what orders the emperor has, we can pass it in one breath, and it is not difficult for the Yuanli car to turn around." ”
"Xiao Fan. Qiu Feng frowned and said, "When we arrived, the Yuanli car did not turn around, so based on your inquiring about my eldest brother's location, is it possible that we saw the assassin at that time?"
"Definitely can find it!" Luo Fan nodded, hehe smiled, "At that time, when we checked the location of the Yuanli car, we quickly found the Yuanli car where Qiu Yan was, so when we just arrived, the distance from Qiu Yan would not exceed my induction, but there was not only one Venerable on the Yuan Li car, there were some Yuan Li cars within my sensing range at that time, I was afraid of startling the snake, so I didn't feel it, but retreated to a safe area before checking." From this point of view, if there were really assassins at that time, then when they escaped, they would definitely not escape my induction!"
"So, the so-called assassination of Wang Cheng and injury to my eldest brother is naturally fake!" Qiu Feng said coldly, "Then Qiu Du must be lying, but why is my eldest brother also lying?"
"Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?" Xiao Tian listened for a long time before asking, "Why do you call Emperor Qiu Yan the eldest brother?"
"I and the Emperor of the Autumn Death, the same mother!" Qiu Feng said dryly, "My name is Qiu Feng." ”
"So you're Autumn Wind. Xiao Tian said respectfully, "There is another question below, what you just said is that the assassination of the Great Emperor is fake?"
"No!" Luo Fan shook his head, "I mean, the so-called assassin who escaped after killing someone is fake!"
"What?" Xiao stood up suddenly, and then as if he had thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale, and his mouth was full of words, "I see, I see!"
"What do you want to say?" Luo Fan frowned.
"I want to say, no wonder they want to kill me. Xiao Tian smiled bitterly, "I can't hide it, I felt something wrong when I went in, but I couldn't say it for a while, because after a few more looks, I didn't expect to cause trouble for myself." ”
"Something is wrong, tell me!" Luo Fan looked at each other.
"That's right, I think about it now, there are two doubts. First, Marshal Qiudu said that the assassin killed Wang Cheng, but Wang Cheng had no scars on his body at that time, and he was lying on the ground at that time, probably with a wound on the front, but when I disposed of the corpse later, I took a few more looks, and the front of General Wang Cheng had no scars, and he died very strangely. ”
"No scars?" Luo Fan frowned, unable to analyze anything for a while, he urged, "Go on." ”
"The second suspicion, as soon as I entered, I saw that the emperor was injured, and I was naturally shocked for a while, but after I thought about it, the dagger in the emperor's chest was the emperor's own sword at all!"
"What?" Qiu Feng and Luo Fan were taken aback, "Are you sure?"
"It's true!" Xiao Tian nodded, "Because the scabbard is still on the Emperor of the Autumn Death! ”
"What does this mean?" Luo Fan was confused.
"Judging from the normal reaction of people, if they are attacked, they will subconsciously cover the injured part to avoid excessive bleeding!" Xiao explained, "and the emperor was holding the dagger in his hand at that time, which is not like a knee-jerk reaction after an attack, but like a ......."
"Like what?" Luo Fan and Qiu Feng said in unison.
"Like, like suicide!" Xiao said with courage.
"Suicide?" Qiu Feng jumped up suddenly, "Nonsense! My eldest brother wants to drive the expedition himself, why did he commit suicide?"
"I'm just saying that what I've seen, and what I've analyzed, may not be the truth. Xiao/Tian was full of regret in his heart, and secretly complained about why he was the first to run in at that time, and ended up causing a lot of trouble.
"Qiu Feng, don't worry, Brother Xiao is just saying his opinion. Luo Fan stretched out his hand to pull Qiu Feng away, and then said to **, "What you said is too unbelievable, so, if your speculation is right, what do you think the truth of the matter should be?"
"I, I don't know. Xiao Tian hesitated.
"Say whatever you know, and say whatever you guess. Luo Fan snorted coldly, "If you continue to bother, don't blame me for being unkind! Just say it, no matter what you guess, I will at least keep your whole family safe to the Shattered Star Academy!"
"Okay!" Xiao Tian nodded, "If I were to guess, I would think that this was because Emperor Qiu Yan didn't want to go on the expedition, so he partnered with Marshal Qiu Du to perform a scene, but General Wang Cheng wanted to go to the front line, so there was a dispute between the three, and General Wang Cheng may have been poisoned." Xiao/Tian's tone was slightly bitter, "I think, maybe it's because I found that General Wangcheng has no scars on his body, and the injuries on the body of Emperor Qiu Yan may have been caused by myself, these two things made me confused, and I was seen to be flawed, so I was killed and killed!"
"Okay!" Luo Fan stood up, "Thank you for your honesty, although what you said at the end was vaguely malicious speculation about the Emperor, but I said a long time ago, you will not be offended for your words, so, you go and clean up, we will leave the Shattered Star Academy immediately." ”
"Why don't you take the Yuanli car?" Xiao Tian wondered.
"I estimate that if you appear near the Yuanli car now, you will be killed!" Luo Fan laughed, "I just promised to protect your whole family, but it doesn't mean that I am willing to provoke the city guards." ”
"Thanks, then I'll clean up first. Xiao Tian arched his hand.
"Go ahead! time is not much, don't ask for anything important, when you get to the Shattered Star Academy, Autumn Wind will give you a lot of money!" Luo Fan admonished.
With a stick of incense, a carriage galloped out of Jinwu Mansion and headed all the way south, and the car was naturally the Xiao/Tian family and Liangjian and Tutu.
Luo Fan asked Liangjian and Tutu to escort Xiao/Tian's family to the Shattered Star Academy, and it would take seven or eight days on the road, and after everyone made an appointment to meet in Qingyundu, Luo Fan and Qiu Feng rushed directly to the direction of Qingyundu.
"Xiao Fan, do you think my eldest brother doesn't dare to drive in person?" On the way, Qiu Feng said to Luo Fan with an unwilling face.
"How is it possible?" Luo Fan looked solemn, "I have seen that person more than once, and he gives me the impression that he is by no means such a cowardly person, so there is something strange in this." ”
"It's weird, so why didn't you say it at the time?" Qiu Feng complained.
"That Xiao/Tian, knowing that these are already in the sky, we don't need to tell him our analysis. Luo Fan shook his head, "I asked him about his guess, and after he answered me, I knew that this person didn't know much anymore, so naturally I didn't have the patience to talk to him." ”
"And what is your guess?" asked Autumn Wind.
"Qiu Feng, what do you think Wang Cheng died from?" Luo Fan asked rhetorically.
"Wang Cheng has no scars on his body, I think Xiao/Tian is right, he should have died of poisoning, but who did it?"
"No, no. Luo Fan shook his head, "First of all, we can be sure of one thing, that is, there are no assassins at all, or even if there are assassins, they are one of the three people of Qiudu, Wangcheng and Qiudi!" Second, according to Xiao/Tian's description, I will detail the three points he said, first, Wang Cheng has no scars, second, the dagger is Qiu Yan's own, and third, Qiu Yan's injury was made by himself!"
"After talking for a long time, you still suspect that my eldest brother is unwilling to go on a personal expedition?" Qiu Feng said angrily.
"Hey, you pig-brained. Luo Fan smiled, "These three are facts, what is there to justify?" The difference is that the conclusion I came to is not the same as Xiao/Tian's conclusion. ”
"Then I'm going to listen to you!" Autumn Wind pouted.
"There are no scars on Wang Cheng's body, you think it's poisoning, but I think it's Wang Cheng's out-of-body soul!" Luo Fan said in a shocking voice, "The reason why Qiu Cheng hurt himself was that he didn't want his soul to be controlled, so he wanted to commit suicide in a hurry, but at the last moment, his soul was still controlled by others, because he only injured himself, and the suicide failed! Only this statement can explain the three facts I just mentioned!"
"What?" Qiu Feng was dumbfounded, "Why do you have this guess?"
"It's very simple, because this is the Jinwu Mansion!" Luo Fan pointed to the ground, "The Jinwu Mansion is the place where we first discovered the Soul Searching Palace, here, we know that the Soul Searching Hall summons souls to occupy other people's bodies......"
"Slow down!" Qiu Feng roared urgently, "Don't forget, my eldest brother, he is already a Venerable, and the people of the Soul Searching Hall can't control the soul of the Venerable at all, this is what the ghost general said himself!"
