Chapter 17 False Inferences

Li Suifeng told Su Yao everything he saw and heard in the dart bureau and the morgue of the mansion, and after telling the inferences he had made to Lin Zheng before, he finally added: "The few people who bleed from the seven orifices were all bruised and bruised in small patches on the surface of their bodies, and their viscera were shattered and died, and there were no more fatal injuries, only scratch marks on both ears. I see some slight blood stains between their fingers, so I think it's my own. I guess the one who killed them should have used his voice to kill. ”

"Just by the traces of the fight, can you guess the murderous method and even the murderer's practice routine?" Su Yao looked at Li Suifeng in disbelief.

Li Suifeng said with a smile: "It's also that the traces left by the perpetrator are relatively special and easy to identify, and I happened to see it in the book." Li Suifeng said: "However, judging from the traces of the fight and footprints I have seen, the perpetrators should not be four, but five. ”

Su Yao asked suspiciously, "Five people?"

Li Suifeng poured out a glass of water, dipped it in water with his fingertips, and pointed it on the table. After drawing the general outline of the dart board with water marks, he said: "The officials of the government uniformly wear official boots, so the four pairs of shoes that are different from the other shoe prints are easy to distinguish. However, there is a pair of official boots that are very special. The officials enter and exit through the gate of the dart board, so no matter how they move, they will find the corresponding entry and exit traces at the front door. There was only one pair of official boot prints, and I didn't find any trace of them at the gate, but they appeared with the four pairs of shoe prints. ”

Li Suifeng looked at Su Yao, who looked surprised, and continued: "The one wearing official boots did not rush into the lobby with Zhen Sanhai and a few others to kill people, but went straight to the backyard where the cargo boxes were stored, as if he was rummaging through things. However, the man's search was unsuccessful, and he instead guarded the back door of the dart game to prevent anyone from escaping. However, although this person's strength is enough to face the executioners of the dart game, it is far inferior to the four killers. ”

"How do you know?"

"Look at the wounds. It was only after seeing the wounds that I was convinced that there were at least five perpetrators. There were 34 people in the Qianyuan Dart Bureau, of whom 13 died from knife wounds. However, the knife edges on four of them were not the trend of the Mochizuki knife technique. Mochizuki knife method is mostly teasing knife style, and the big opening and closing will leave many knife marks in the dart game. But the knife edge on these four people is caused by the hidden head splitting knife, like the means of Jiangliu knife technique, and the depth of the knife edge is uneven, obviously attainmented. Li Suifeng suddenly felt some pain in his shoulder, he gently pressed his shoulder, and said: "The Moon Gazing Knife Technique is much more advanced than the Jiangliu Knife Technique, and if you use the Zhanyue Knife Technique, you can reach the realm of a grandmaster, how can you not even reach the realm of an expert when you use the Jiangliu Knife Technique?" Therefore, I presume that the perpetrators are not four, but five. ”

While drinking tea to hide the surprise in her heart, Su Yao stared at Li Suifeng and said, "I even began to wonder if you were one of these five. How can you understand it in such detail just by looking at it with both eyes?"

Li Suifeng's gaze turned to the door, and his expression always had a faint smile, which was unpredictable. He said: "If there are only five perpetrators, then I can't confirm the identities of the two people who made the knife for the time being; Zhen Sanhai is the one who used the secret weapon; He Daoyuan is the one who is used to use the cross soul breaker hand; and the last person should be the one who kills people with the rhythm of music......"

Hearing this, Su Yao hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute, how do you know that you killed people with the sound of the qin?

Li Suifeng looked at Su Yao and suppressed the doubts in his heart. He said: "After I left the government, I was assassinated. ”

Su Yao's face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly asked, "You were assassinated?"

"The person who assassinated me has the strength of Bapin, with a cross soul breaking hand, connecting his heart and breaking the bridge of his nose, I guess he is He Daoyuan, looking at his reaction, it should be right. There is also a person who only has a six-rank strength, and he is dressed as a maid in Huanmenglou, but I don't recognize this person, or he is disguised. Li Suifeng said.

"You've been assassinated, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Li Suifeng took a deep breath and said, "Killing people with a voice is like the roar of a Buddhist lion, the true qi is condensed in the throat of the practitioner, and the roar of the flesh can defeat the opponent with one blow, and the scars are mostly large bruises, and it will not leave the opponent with the opportunity to tear his ears to struggle for survival." In addition, this type of exercise requires the practitioner to be full of true qi, usually up to the eighth grade. Li Suifeng paused and continued: "The other type is the sound of instrumental music such as piano sounds. As soon as the piano music moved, it disturbed the mind and hid the murderous machine. The music of the piano turns into a sharp blade, penetrating the texture and hurting the viscera, and killing people in an instant. The true qi of this kind of exercise is sufficient in the five grades, but the requirements for the attainment of instrumental music are deeper. Because he was disturbed by the rhythm of music, it is reasonable for the person who was killed to tear his own ears. ”

"I see. Su Yao nodded. Suddenly, she came to her senses and said, "Don't change the subject! Let me see your wounds first!"

Li Suifeng's face was a little pale. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine." He Daoyuan couldn't hurt me, and the woman was just a sneak attack in disguise, so I had already taken precautions. ”

"You were just injured, and before the wound healed, you will do it with someone again!" Su Yao came to Li Suifeng's side and said angrily: "Let me see your wound!"

Li got up with the wind and stepped back, saying, "I'm fine." ”

"You have so much sweat on your forehead, how can you be fine!" Su Yao said: "Hurry up and lie down, let me see your wounds." ”

Li Suifeng wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "It's just that the room is too hot." ”

Su Yaodai frowned lightly and said, "Li Suifeng, are you guarding against this girl?"

"How can I guard against you?" Li Suifeng grinned and said, "I'm really fine. ”

Su Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Your wounds are bleeding, how can you be okay?"

"Su Yao, you don't have to fool me. I have sealed the acupuncture points around the wound to stop the bleeding, how can it bleed?" At this point, Li Suifeng suddenly realized that he still missed his mouth, so he could only laugh wryly.

Su Yao grabbed Li Suifeng's shoulder and said angrily: "If you are fine, why do you need to use the method of sealing the acupuncture point with true qi to stop the bleeding! You, now, immediately, immediately, lie down for this girl!"

Li Suifeng had no choice but to admit defeat and do so, and lay down on the bed. Su Yao took out the medicine and yarn roll from the bedside cabinet. She touched Li Suifeng's forehead with her fingertips and exclaimed, "It's so hot!

Li Suifeng replied: "It's just that the true qi is forcibly invoked, causing the body to be weak." As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Su Yao was about to untie his clothes! He hurriedly pressed Su Yao's slender jade hand and said, "Su Yao, what are you doing......?" Not very well......"

Su Yao glared at Li Suifeng and said, "You are physically injured and infested with severe poison. Even if the residual poison has been resolved, it will damage the heart and lungs, and the blood and qi will be deficient. When you confront the eight-rank masters, the consumption of true qi is bound to be intense. At this moment, you are clearly exhausted of your true qi, which has led to the retrograde movement of qi and blood. No matter how flamboyant you are, you can't hide your weakness. ”

Li Suifeng let go of Su Yao's hand, closed his eyes, and said helplessly: "You have seen through ......"

Su Yao unbuttoned Li Suifeng's shirt, and a pair of jade hands touched Li Suifeng's solid chest. Through the palm of her hand, she could clearly feel the heat on Li Suifeng's body, feel the chest rise and fall as he breathed, and feel the beating of his heart. She looked at Li Suifeng's chest, coughed lightly, and thought, "I'll sneak it up, he shouldn't mind, right?"

Su Yao's heartbeat became faster and faster. She turned her head and pretended not to see, but in fact, she had been peeking at Li Suifeng with her peripheral vision. She gently pressed Li Suifeng's chest with her fingers, and moved to his shoulder little by little, pretending to help Li Suifeng change the dressing.

"Miss Su, what do you want to do...... Doesn't it mean that men and women can't kiss?" Li Suifeng thought to himself. He felt Su Yao's fingers sliding across his chest, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and nervous. He quietly opened a gap in his right eye and saw Su Yao with a red face. He was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Su Yao's fingertips slid near the wound on Li Suifeng's shoulder, and said, "I, I ......" She cleared her throat vigorously, and said with a cover-up: "This girl is going to help you change the dressing now!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for you. Li Suifeng's voice also revealed a little cramped. He clenched his left hand tightly and forcibly held himself down somewhere. While propping up his body a little more to facilitate Su Yao's change of dressing, he said, "You help me change the dressing, and I will tell you my next inference." ”

"Good. Su Yao nodded vigorously and leaned into Li Suifeng's arms to change the medicine for him.

Li Suifeng began his narrative, and this will be the most crucial part of all his plans.

"What was the purpose of their attack on the dart game?" Li Suifeng said, "This is the first question that comes to my mind. ”

Su Yao said: "Revenge, robbery." ”

"That's right. However, it is too unreasonable to gather a number of masters to wash the dart game in blood, just to seek revenge. So, they should be for the darts. ”

"Ordinary darts are more convenient to start on the road. Su Yao said: "Rashly attacking a dart game with more than 30 people is too loud. ”

Li Suifeng nodded and said, "So, their target will not leave the dart game." ”

In other words, the object of their robbery was transported back to Siyun Mansion by the Qianyuan Dart Bureau from other places, waiting for the owner to come to pick up the goods. Su Yao said: "Otherwise, this cargo will definitely leave the dart game." ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people. Li Suifeng said with a smile: "However, I was attacked by someone in the dart bureau at night, the perpetrators went and returned, and even assassinated them during the day, all kinds of signs show that their goals have not been achieved." ”

"What they want to rob, it's not in the dart game?" asked Su Yao.

Li Suifeng shook his head lightly and said, "Let's start with them going and returning." I followed the footsteps of the person who went back and forth in the dart game, and the return of the footprints was in the dart game master Yu Guangxiao's room. I found this in Yu Guangxiao's room, it should be the trace they wanted to erase when they went and returned. Li Suifeng took out the dart account book he had put away in his shirt and handed it to Su Yao.

Su Yao took the account book and put it aside for the time being. She said, "Don't move, I'll change your dressing first." ”

Li Suifeng said: "They hid the account books back under the bed and disguised themselves as if they had not found them. I guess the last person to receive the goods in the books is their next target. ”

"How did you know they hid this book?"

"It's just a matter of covering up. Li Suifeng said: "If you are doing a legitimate business, why do you need to hide the account book? If Yu Guangxiao really hides the account book under the bed, there must be a big secret, and he will definitely not take it from time to time, and the account book will inevitably be full of dust, how can it only be stained with a layer of floating ash?"

Su Yao asked, "The last column of the ledger is newly written, what if it happens to be taken out recently, and it is hidden under the bed on weekdays?" Or is he not at ease and often takes it out for inspection?"

"Uh...... This is only a preliminary extrapolation. Li Suifeng paused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Judging from the account records, the Qianyuan Dart Bureau has accounts every few days, and the content is complicated, and it stands to reason that it will not be recorded once every long time. From the ink of the account book, it can also be vaguely seen that the most recent accounts are not recorded at the same time. ”

Su Yao glanced at Li Suifeng and said, "What are you panicking about? Could it be that you are lying to me?"

"I was almost stopped by you, you think too carefully......" Li Suifeng raised his head slightly and said, "It's so tiring to talk to smart people." ”

Su Yao glanced at Li Suifeng and said, "Didn't you just say that it's easy to talk to me?" She leaned into Li Suifeng's arms, took gauze and bypassed Li Suifeng's back, bandaging his wounds.

Li Suifeng was suddenly choked by Su Yao's words. He turned his head awkwardly and continued with his inferences, trying to change the subject. "If the dart board has delivered the goods, then the last person in the books is indeed their target," he said. However, a piece of goods that can lead to death, will Yu Guangxiao easily record it in the account books?"

Su Yao asked, "You mean, this group of perpetrators has found the wrong target?"

Li Suifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know. Maybe these assailants were also suspicious, and even they put the account book back in the dart board, deliberately leaving a flaw, hoping that someone would help them find their target. ”

"But in any case, their purpose was not achieved. Otherwise, it is safest to leave or hide. Taking the risk of killing you, it is very likely that they will still have to stay in Siyun Mansion, and they still have something to do, so they can't leave a flaw. Su Yao said: "If they want someone to help them find the whereabouts of their target, then they will definitely keep their eyes and ears near the dart board, waiting for the person who will take the account book." Then the assassination of you is not clear. If they don't want you to get your hands on the books, you'll be assassinated when you leave, and you won't have to wait until you come out of the office. So, they should just be as you thought at the beginning, trying to cover up. ”

Li Suifeng sighed and said, "I have also inferred so, but there is too little circumstantial evidence, and almost all of them are condemned. I even thought about what if they suspected that I had handed over the account books to the government and felt that I was useless and became angry, so they killed me?" Li Suifeng asked Su Yao rhetorically.

"It is indeed impossible to rule out the possibility of this. Su Yao said: "One of the five perpetrators wore official boots, indicating that this person has a lot to do with the government. This person should be their internal response to the government, so if you hand over the account books to the government, they can also track down the whereabouts of the target through the government, and they can indeed choose to kill you after leaving the government to prevent you from seeing through their whereabouts. ”

Li Suifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, he pulled Su Yao's shoulder suddenly, and said, "Ask for it, you reminded me again!" Su Yao, who was pulled into Li Suifeng's arms, suddenly panicked. She wanted to break free from Li Suifeng's arms, but she was afraid that she would use too much force and involve the wounds on Li Suifeng's body. In the dark, her subconscious may not resist Li Suifeng's movements. Su Yao pretended to be calm and said, "You move smaller, otherwise this girl will bandage you in vain!"

Li Suifeng put his hands on Su Yao's shoulders and said, "My mind is really confused! I thought of too many possibilities, but I forgot their internal response in the palace! I didn't hand over the account books to Lin Zhengtong! Therefore, they put the account books back in the dart bureau to cover up their traces!"

"So, they've identified the target?"

Li Suifeng shook his head and said, "No, no." It was the night before yesterday when they attacked the dart game at night. If they had confirmed the target, they would have acted as soon as possible last night to avoid too many nights. But they didn't move, which means that they were also cautious, and most likely went to investigate first. ”

"They didn't act, so they didn't find their target. ”

Li Suifeng shook his head slightly, took the account book, and said, "Look at who the last person in the account book is." ”

Su Yao took the account book. She turned the last page and said, "Lei Mansion, Lord Lei?"

"After the Lei family is a famous general, there are many guards in the house, and the descendants of the Lei family have a family tradition of martial arts. The difficulty of breaking into the Thunder Mansion is by no means comparable to the Qianyuan Dart Bureau. Li Suifeng said: "So, they have to plan carefully." ”

"I don't think so. They can bloody the dart game with the power of five people, and if they want to snatch things in the Thunder Mansion, they can also do it directly. They are here to rob, not to seek revenge. The reason why they bloody the dart game is because they didn't find anything, so they did this ruthlessly in order to prevent leaks. Su Yao followed the train of thought and said her opinion. "They just didn't find their target," she said. ”

"Makes sense. The corners of Li Suifeng's mouth raised slightly. Su Yao seemed to be thinking along with his statement, but she had already formed her own inference in her heart. People believe best in the inferences they have drawn and approve of, and the more intelligent they are, the more so they are. Li Suifeng continued: "So, what is their goal, and where exactly are the things they want now?"

"Now, it can only be said that what they are looking for is not in Lei Mansion. Su Yao looked at Li Suifeng and said, "You thought of it?"

Li Suifeng shook his head and said, "You and I are all guesses, based on the assumption that the actions of this group of perpetrators are all reasonable. I've made a list of all the disagreements I could think of up to this point, and you've helped me sort out the irrationalities in those disagreements. What I'm talking about next is the last possibility that comes to mind. ”

"The last possibility?"

Li Suifeng stretched out a finger, shook it gently, and said, "This group of people had a disagreement when they assassinated me, and after I repelled He Daoyuan and scared him away, the mysterious woman not only complained about He Daoyuan, but also insisted on killing me. This shows that they are probably not of the same mind inside. ”

"Infighting?" Su Yao said as if he had an epiphany under Li Suifeng's nod: "The first person to go to the backyard to rummage through the cargo box is the internal response of the government office. What do you mean, the man of the palace...... Got what they're looking for?"

Li Suifeng said with a smile: "The intact frame and cargo box of the dart bureau have been transported back to the government office, and except for Wang Cun and the perpetrator himself, no one knows what the perpetrator is looking for, and the government office does not know." Therefore, either the government should hide the private goods, or they deliberately transferred the goods to the government and then used the account books to divert attention. ”

"Wait a minute, as long as the dart flag is removed, the cart and horse cargo box of the dart bureau can easily be disguised as an ordinary person. There are a lot of ruts in front of the dart game, and ordinary people can't tell the difference. They moved very fast, and you said that you arrived at the dart board at midnight last night, and the patrol arrived early the next morning. The perpetrators have enough time to move the scene after they find their things. Even if they wanted to stay in Siyun Mansion and hide their things in the mansion, it would be too risky. Chuang Siyun Mansion Mansion, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes and the laws of the court, the righteous qi alliance and the inner guards will take action. Su Yao interrupted Li Suifeng's words and said, "Although, now it seems that there is only this possibility, which can explain that they used the account book to divert their attention, and then came to assassinate you." But ......"

Li Suifeng pointed his finger at Su Yao's forehead and said, "What if they took advantage of the opportunity of Neiying to secretly steal the goods, or take advantage of the opportunity of the government to transfer the goods?"

"It's a possibility. Su Yao was thinking about it, but was suddenly held by Li Suifeng's cheeks. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes met Li Suifeng's expectant eyes. She swallowed and said, "So, the last possibility you are talking about is not the last possibility, but the common denominator of the ultimate orientation of all reasonable possibilities. Either way, what they're looking for is most likely to be hiddenβ€”"

The two of them said in unison: "Siyun Mansion !!"

The soft sound of rustling outside the window did not escape Li Suifeng's ears. He knew that after this long conversation, this half-truth reasoning would deceive everyone and lead his plan to success. It's just that why does he feel a little guilty in his heart?
