Chapter 13 Snakes
Chen Yutian was indeed surprised.
He never imagined that this case would actually be related to the Heaven Covering Sect.
Although at present, it is not possible to determine the specific relationship between the suspicious person and the cave release machine, but it is inevitable that there will be problems when he is so close to the cave release machine.
"If this person is really a member of the Heaven Covering Sect, then the deceased Ling Zhanwu who was with him will naturally be too. So what is the purpose of their visit to the samurai manor?"
Chen Yutian frowned slightly, and groaned slightly.
"They went to the martial arts manor, probably to investigate the cause of Wu Chengtian's death. ”
On the side, Tang Fengling squinted her eyes slightly, and spoke after a slight groan.
"Because I remember that Mrs. Wu said that they only asked about Wu Chengtian's whereabouts on the day of his death, and after getting the answer, they left. ”
From this point of view, they should have known the real murderer from Mrs. Wu's account, and after achieving the purpose of this trip, they left. ”
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"What you say is reasonable, but we must consider it comprehensively, and we must not let go of any possibility. ”
Tang Fengling nodded and said, "You're right. Do you have any other plausible guesses?"
"Not yet. Chen Yutian shook his head and said, "But I always feel that things should not be as simple as we think. ”
"I see. Tang Fengling nodded and left quietly.
This was the first time she hadn't deliberately said angry words to Chen Yutian.
Because, she knew that Chen Yutian at this time needed to be quiet. He needed a quiet enough environment to think about those issues.
"Perhaps, we went in the wrong direction from the beginning......"
After Tang Fengling left, Chen Yutian, who was sitting alone in the room, looked up at the window, was silent for a long time, and spoke.
Then he was once again immersed in thought.
Until Gongsun knocked on his door.
......
......
"My lord, the tattoo washed off the deceased's wrist has basically been restored. As soon as Gongsun Fang entered the door, he said to Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian's eyes flashed suddenly!
Then, Gongsun handed over a blank piece of paper.
Chen Yutian took it and took a look, only to see a snake head drawn on the paper with simple strokes, but it was hideous.
The eyes of this snake head are cold, and the snake scales are forested, which makes people afraid at a glance.
A few strokes, but can outline the snake's head so lifelike, I have to say that the person who designed this pattern must have great talent.
"Is this what they have in their hands?" Chen Yutian asked, glancing at the blank paper, looking up at Gongsun.
He didn't ask Gongsun how he restored the pattern, because in his opinion, no matter what method was used, it was Gongsun's freedom.
Moreover, it doesn't matter at all.
Gongsun nodded and said, "Yes, I restored everyone's wounds and drew this complete pattern according to the residual traces of different wounds. ”
Chen Yutian nodded.
Since this complete pattern is depicted and completed from the remaining scars on the bodies of the four people, it is natural that the tattoos of the four people should be the same.
"But I'm more concerned about the pattern. ”
Gongsun squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the painting, and said with a deep groan in his eyes, "This is the same thing as their jade pendant, snake. ”
Yes, both the tattoo and the two jade pendants from the deceased and what is suspected to be the murderer's legacy are in the shape of a snake.
Such a coincidence made Gongsun a little suspicious.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence......" Chen Yutian said slightly nonchalantly.
"But now that we have more important things, I think about it, and I feel that things should not be as simple as we imagined, especially since it may involve the forces of the Heaven Overthrowing Sect. ”
A look of surprise suddenly flashed in Gongsun's eyes.
"What do you mean by your lordship, this case involves the Heaven Shattering Sect?"
After hearing this, Chen Yutian remembered that this case involved the matter of the Heavenly Sect, except for him and Tang Fengling, no one else knew about it, so he sighed and said, "This is the case......
After speaking, Gongsun's complexion changed suddenly!
"How can this be...... Since he had a private meeting with Shi Dongji, he must have had some connection with the Heaven Covering Sect, and Ling Zhan Wu ...... It should also have something to do with the Heaven Covering Sect!" he spoke, categorically.
"That's what I thought!" Chen Yutian nodded.
"It's just that I suspect that Ling Zhanwu is not alone. ”
Gongsun's face changed suddenly, and there was an extremely obvious look of surprise in his eyes, he looked at Chen Yutian, and slowly spoke: "What do you mean...... Even Wu Chengtian and Yue Lingxiao are among these suspicions?"
Chen Yutian nodded and said, "That's right, since Ling Zhanwu may be a member of the Heaven Covering Sect, then Wu Chengtian and Yue Lingxiao, who are already old friends, are naturally very likely. ”
"Not only that, but even the two unknown dead are very likely. ”
"After all, they all have the same tattoo on their wrist!"
Chen Yutian picked up the piece of paper with the snake head tattoo pattern and spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Gongsun nodded slightly, glanced at the tattoo pattern, and said, "This is indeed not impossible." If so, we'll need to figure out what the tattoo means. ”
"Not only that, but Wu Chengtian's past, I'm afraid we also need to know about it. Chen Yutian said, "I just don't know, how much does Mrs. Wu know about this?"
Gongsun shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.
"In that case, I'm afraid the result will disappoint you, my lord. I think it's unlikely that this woman will know these things. Wu Chengtian is unlikely to let him know these things. ”
"I understand. Chen Yutian nodded, and suddenly grinned.
"But...... How can you know if you don't try?"
Gongsun understood what he meant, and nodded with a wry smile.
But at this time, the wry smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he straightened up and asked, "Don't talk about this...... Uncle Xing, did they get anything out of the notices?"
Hearing this, Gongsun couldn't help but sigh.
"There has been no harvest yet, and the owner of the head does not seem to be from the capital clan, and no family members have come to claim it. ”
Chen Yutian also sighed, with a look in his eyes that he knew this earlier, and said slowly: "It seems that the breakthrough is here." I hope this trip can be a bit fruitful......"
Hearing this, Gongsun's expression also moved slightly.
"I hope so...... I'll also take the time to investigate the tattoo design...... It's a pity that as soon as you return to the capital, the control of Xuan Tianwei will be handed back into the hands of Your Majesty, otherwise this matter will be a little easier......"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly when he heard this.
As the most elite intelligence network of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the right to use Xuan Tianwei was handed over to the hands of Xuan Ye, the son of heaven, the moment he returned to the capital.
This is also the rule that was set before the first patrol.
"That's right...... But what's the use of talking about that now? After all, they're out of our hands. ”
"Who said it wasn't there?"
A voice suddenly came, crisp and distinctive, sounding outside the room, causing the two people in the room to be startled at the same time, and their eyes involuntarily looked at the door.
"Squeak ......" the door opened.
A familiar figure appeared behind the door, looking at them with a smile on its face.
The faces of the two people in the room suddenly changed.
Especially Chen Yutian, the moment he opened the door, the whole person was directly stunned in place, and then a look of overjoy, mixed with an indescribable excitement, appeared in his eyes!
Yes, comer...... It was Xuan Xi who came back from inside the palace.
......
......
Xuan Xi's appearance surprised Chen Yutian and Gongsun, but what surprised them the most was the words she said at the door before she came in.
"Who said it wasn't there?"
The information revealed in these five short words is incomparably huge.
Chen Yutian and Gongsun both looked at her suspiciously.
Xuan Xi looked at the two of them like this, with a slight dislike in his expression, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?
They both shook their heads at the same time.
Of course, there were no flowers on Xuan Xi's face.
But there are really flowers on her body.
It was only at this time that Chen Yutian discovered that Xuan Xi came back from the palace this time, and he was wearing not ordinary civilian clothes, but a pale pink palace dress.
The palace costume is well-cut, with a light pink light gauze fabric and a slightly dark pink flower cloth, which brings out the cuteness of the girl to the fullest.
Such an outfit is enough to show that this time, she did not sneak out of the inner courtyard of the palace.
This can't help but surprise Chen Yutian!
"Your Royal Highness, what do you mean by what you just said?"
Gongsun looked at Xuan Xi who walked in from the door, smiled slightly, and said.
I saw Xuan Xi smile mysteriously, glanced at Chen Yutian, and said, "This palace has good news to tell you, guess what?"
Hearing this, Gongsun immediately smiled bitterly.
How do you guess this? There are no clues at all, and even if you want to analyze it, it's unlikely, right?
But Chen Yutian's complexion suddenly changed at this moment!
He glanced at Xuan Xi in disbelief and asked, "Really?"
Xuan Xi understood that he had already guessed the good news, so he nodded slightly and spoke: "Yes, although there are some differences from what you imagined." ”
As she spoke, she handed a communication jade plate to Chen Yutian.
Seeing this jade plaque, Gongsun's complexion also changed.
Apparently, he had guessed what the good news was.
"This ...... Impossible, right?"
Xuan Xi shook his head lightly and said, "It's really impossible, this is just one of the teams, there are only about a dozen people, but the imperial brother also said that from now on, they only need to obey your orders." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yutian and Gongsun were all surprised!
Yes, the good news that Xuan Xi brought is that Xuan Ye has approved the transfer of Xuan Tianwei's squad to the Nine Dragons Mansion for use!
This, as early as when Xuan Xi opened his mouth to say the three words of good news, Chen Yutian had already guessed it.
Because, the words that Xuan Xi said before he came in prompted him.
At that time, when he was talking about "Xuan Tianwei can't help but use it himself", Xuan Xi suddenly said the sentence "Who said it wasn't there" outside the door.
Moreover, the palace clothes worn by Xuan Xi today are also an important clue for him.
The palace costume is similar to the men's official uniform for the women of the Great Xuan Dynasty, especially the women of the princes and nobles like Xuan Xi, because women cannot be officials, so the palace dress has a more important meaning for them.
And one of the most important is to use it as a dress!
That is, it is a dress, so it is obvious that it should be worn on formal occasions, and since Xuan Xi came in a palace dress this time, it means that she came to Jiulong Mansion this time, and the identity she represents is not the Nine Dragons God Hunt of Jiulong Mansion, but the only eldest princess of the Daxuan Dynasty.
Therefore, when he saw Xuan Xi appear in front of him in palace clothes, Chen Yutian concluded that she came here to announce something on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
The second is the three words of good news that Xuan Xi said.
Combining the previous two clues, the conclusion is ...... Xuan Xi came here on this trip to announce things on behalf of Xuan Ye, and the things he announced must be related to Xuan Tianwei, and it is good news!
And at present, it is good news for him, and it is related to Xuan Tianwei, there is only one, and that is the right to use Xuan Tianwei!
In this way, the answer is coming.
Although, the final result, there is still a slight deviation, but for Chen Yutian, this is indeed a top piece of good news.
Holding the token in his hand, there was still a remnant of disbelief in Chen Yutian's eyes.
Xuan Xi looked at him like this and smiled. "What's the matter, still can't believe it's true?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said, "Yes, after all, this news is too shocking. This is the most elite Xuantianwei in the world, just give me a team casually, isn't the Son of Heaven afraid of causing criticism from other ministers?"
Xuan Xi looked at him and thought to himself, how could he be afraid of those criticisms? After all, your identity is very unusual.
However, Chen Yutian obviously didn't know what he was thinking.
Even if he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't quite understand what Xuan Xi was thinking.
After all, at this time, he didn't know that the Queen Mother had secretly summoned his father.
I don't know what they talked about in that secret meeting.
......
......
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.
Ling Xiaowu sat alone in the room, his eyes slightly closed. On the wooden table in front of him was a blank piece of paper. On the paper, a pattern is drawn.
That's a very hideous snake head shape!
If one of the two of them was present at this time, either Yutian or Gongsun would have been surprised to see the snake head pattern on this paper!
Because, the pattern in front of you is exactly the same as the tattoo pattern restored by Gongsun!
Suddenly, Ling Xiaowu's eyes suddenly opened, and a wisp of essence burst out!
He looked at the snake head pattern on the paper, snorted coldly, and said, "No matter where you are or how many people are left, I will find you and kill you one by one...... This is the poisonous oath I made when I left that place, and now, I can finally fulfill it......"
As the last word fell, the door suddenly opened.
The people in the room also disappeared......
