Chapter 16 Truth and Falsehood

Wu Liang's words surprised everyone in the hall!

A thick shock welled up on everyone's face!

Ma Zhiyun's case was painted as a fake and real tiger, and it was actually the five tigers in Jia Zheng's hands!

So, what about Jia Zheng's case being painted as a fake and real tiger?

Which painting is that?

In other words, that painting is a fake!

It is a fake of one of Jia Zheng's five tiger pictures!

It's not impossible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After seeing that his friend, who was also the master of the Five Tiger Pictures and the Five Guards, had been repeatedly killed and robbed of paintings, in order to prevent the Tiger Pictures in his hands from falling into the hands of thieves, Jia Zheng might naturally prepare early.

He could have made a copy of a fake beforehand and hung it in his study.

In this way, even if he really encounters an accident, it is impossible for Hutu to fall into the hands of the murderer.

"Would you rather die than protect Hutu?"

Chen Yutian sighed in his heart, Jia Zheng's move made him admire.

However, the other party was not easy to match, not only found the location of the real tiger map, but also mistook Ma Zhiyun's life.

However, these are always just Chen Yutian's own speculations.

What is going on is still to listen to the person concerned.

"This matter has to start after Lord Lu was killed......"

Wu Liang began to reminisce.

"That day, I was in the restaurant, and Brother Jia suddenly walked in, holding the painting in his hand. ”

I saw that he was in a hurry, and that he was about to speak, so I invited him to the guest room to talk in detail. ”

"Who knows, as soon as he entered, he entrusted the painting to me......"

Wu Liang's eyes flashed with a strong sense of remembrance, as if he had returned to the day of the incident......

On that day, Jia Zheng asked Wu Liang to make a picture of the tiger, Wu Liang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Brother Jia, what are you doing here?"

Jia Zhengdao: "Brother Wu, now that Brother Li and Lord Lu have both been killed, why do you think they were killed?"

When Wu Liang heard this, he thought for a long time, until he saw the tiger painting in Jia Zheng's hand, and then said: "What does Brother Jia mean, their purpose is ...... Is it the Five Tigers?"

"Exactly. Jia Zhengdao, "Brother Wu, I have asked the painter to copy an identical painting in advance and hang it in the study, and this tiger picture will be handed over to you for safekeeping for the time being." ”

"But......" Wu Liang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Well, nothing but that. Brother Wu, if something happens to me, this painting will be handed over to you. We must not allow the treasures of the protectorate to fall into the hands of thieves!"

After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he left.

More than ten days later, news came that he had been killed.

"When the news came, I was scared and terrified. ”

"I thought the murderer's next target was probably me, so I ......"

"So you handed over the two tiger paintings in your hand to someone else for safekeeping at the same time, and one of them was Ma Zhiyun, right?"

Tatsu Yutian said.

Wu Liang nodded silently, and a hint of remorse flashed in his eyes.

Chen Yutian sighed.

"That's it, people can't be resurrected after death, and what we can do now is to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, so that we can give an account to the deceased. ”

"What the adults said is very true, I don't know the request of the grass people......" Wu Liang arched his hand and said with a smile.

Chen Yutian said: "This matter is not difficult, this county will send someone to your mansion." ”

As he spoke, he ordered Wang Yi to come in, ordered his manpower, and prepared to go to Wu's house.

Wu Liang thanked him, and it didn't take long for him to leave.

After he left, there was a brief silence in the hall.

A deep groan appeared on everyone's face.

What Wu Liang said was so surprising that until now, they hadn't been able to fully digest it.

After a long time, Chen Yutian spoke: "Everyone, what do you think of this Wu Liang?"

Gongsun touched his chin and said, "I used to hear rumors in the market that the shopkeeper of the Kelaiju Restaurant was quite a city government, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." This person is scheming, and he is not easy to match. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xue Tianhan also said: "This person is not simple. But what he said should be true. ”

"Maybe it's true or false, after all, true and false are the easiest to confuse. ”

Wu Dongtian squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was smiling!

Chen Yutian nodded, he was more inclined to Wu Dongtian's judgment.

Because just now, he finally discovered that Wu Liang's words had always made him feel wrong.

Xuan Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard the imperial brother say about the treasure of protecting the country, it should be true. The matter of the Five Tigers is not clear. ”

"But I can fly a pigeon back to the capital and ask about it. She continued.

The crowd nodded.

So far, that's the only way to go.

......

......

The next few days were calm.

No more cases continue to occur, the roar of the tiger is no longer heard, and the murderer seems to be hidden and disappears.

Tatsuyuten's investigation has also come to a standstill.

The murderer no longer commits the crime, and there is not the slightest useful clue in the existing case.

Chen Yutian was a little helpless.

If this continues, it will be impossible for him to solve the case within half a month.

However, in addition to helplessness, he was also somewhat relieved.

There were no murders, and the dark clouds that had shrouded the hearts of the residents of Lingshui County in the past gradually dispersed. Lingshui County has gradually returned to the peaceful life of the past.

However, this calm is not destined to last long.

After all, the source of the dark cloud that shrouded Lingshui County's heart has not been completely cleared.

Finally, after the sixth day, this peace was broken!

Tiger roar, again!

Roar・・・・・・

Its sound was like thunder and rage, resounding throughout Lingshui County, waking everyone up from their dreams!

Fear returns!

Chen Yutian and the Yamen rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible.

This is a courtyard, small in scale, and a quick open space has been opened in the courtyard, full of flowers and trees.

It's just that it's September now, and the flowers and trees in the garden have all become dead branches and leaves, leaving a few remnants of red, dotted among them, adding a kind of gloom.

The scene is inside the house.

Chen Yutian and Gongsun had just stepped in with one foot, and their brows were slightly furrowed.

The scene is extremely chaotic, as if encountering bandits, a mess!

In addition, the door of the house was wide open, leaving many traces, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there must have been a fight in this place.

Moreover, there are dots of blood all over the house, which makes this place look a little eerie.

Xue Tianhan frowned and stopped in the courtyard.

Such a scene is definitely one of the last environments that he, a person with a habit of cleanliness, wants to enter.

However, in the end, Snow Hero couldn't help but be curious, frowned, hardened, and walked in awkwardly.

But when he saw the body of the deceased, he immediately regretted it.

The deceased was a woman.

His clothes were in tatters, his body was scarred and covered with blood, and the expression on his face was even more distorted, as if he had suffered great pain before he died.

This woman, Chen Yutian knows.

She is the wife of the deceased Ma Zhiyun.

Yesterday, Chen Yutian also saw her because of her father-in-law's case, but who knew that only one day later, she was poisoned.

It's really impermanent!

Gongsun leaned down and carefully examined the corpse, not in the slightest because the deceased was a woman.

Chen Yutian was also carefully inspecting the scene.

As in the past, tiger fur and empty paintings were still found in the scene.

But unlike in the past, this time in addition to these, some very clear footprints were found on the floor of the house.

Chen Yutian carefully examined these footprints, these footprints were relatively large, obviously not owned by women. Naturally, it could not be the dead.

Then it can only be the murderer's!

A deep groan flashed in Chen Yutian's eyes.

Compared with the scenes of previous cases, this scene is a little weird.

In the past, there were few traces left at the scene of a murder, especially those about the murderer, and it was almost impossible to leave them.

But this time, the killer left a large number of traces at the scene, even his own footprints.

"It's like two different people committing a crime...... "Chen Yutian laughed to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed.

"Wait...... Two different people...... Could it be ......"

......

......

Wu Dongtian stood in front of the empty painting at the scene.

He's been standing here ever since he came to the scene.

Huo Yuanji and Xuan Xi felt strange and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Clues. Wu Dongtian replied lightly, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

Xuan Xi was a little strange and asked, "Are there any clues on the empty painting?"

Wu Dongtian replied: "Of course, and it is a very important clue. ”

Huo Yuanji sighed and asked, "What?"

Wu Dongtian didn't answer, but asked, "Do you remember?" When Wu Liang said that they were descendants of the five guards, he didn't seem to say that Ma Zhiyun was the descendant of the five guards, right?"

Huo Yuanji and Xuan Xi nodded.

"Then why, in Ma Zhiyun's hand, there is another picture of the Five Tigers?" Wu Dongtian pointed to the empty painting on the wall.

"What?" Huo Yuanji and Xuan Xi were taken aback, and a question appeared in their hearts at the same time.

How could Wu Dongtian know that it was one of the Five Tiger Diagrams?

Wu Dongtian smiled and said, "I have been studying the empty paintings that were left at the scene of the crime after being mistaken as fake, and as a result, I found that on four of them, under the seal and inscription, there is a special mark. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a painting from his sleeve and handed it to the two of them.

Huo Yuanji took the painting and unfolded it to take a look, only to see that it was an empty painting, which was estimated to have been hung on the scene of several previous cases.

Xuan Xi hurriedly set his eyes on this empty painting, and under the inscription and seal, he really found the special mark that Wu Dongtian said.

It's a mark like a leaf!

The leaves are strangely shaped, like a swimming dragon.

Seeing this strange leaf mark, Xuan Xideng's face changed drastically, and he cried out in a lost voice.

"Tenryuye?!"

Huo Yuan was extremely moved.

Draco leaf is a type of leaf called "Draconian".

This tree has been a tribute to the imperial court for generations, and only in the palace can you see this tree.

As a result, the tree has historically been regarded as a symbol of royalty.

At this moment, the Celestial Dragon Leaf Mark, which symbolizes the royal family, actually appeared on the empty painting.

The empty painting is painted in imitation of the original painting, so there should also be this mark on the original painting.

Tiger painting with royal mark......

That's bound to be the Five Tigers!

Huo Yuanji's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly walked in front of the empty painting and observed it carefully.

Sure enough, on this empty painting, under the seal and inscription, there is an identical Tianlong leaf mark.

"That's ...... so"

At this time, Wang Yi walked in and brought a shocking piece of news.

"My lord, the county government has received a report that someone has found a skeleton in a barren mountain on the outskirts of the city!"
