Chapter 6 Revisiting Liu Chong
Chen Guang and Xing Enming looked at Gongsun in surprise, they didn't expect that this seemingly scholar-like work in front of them actually knew kung fu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Yutian, Xue Tianhan, and Ling Miaoyin were also surprised, and the reason for their surprise was the three words "Burning Heart Palm" that came out of Gongsun's mouth.
"Gongsun, can you be sure? That palm print is really left by the Burning Heart Palm?" Chen Yutian was surprised, and hurriedly asked.
Gongsun nodded slightly and said, "It won't be wrong, I found that the five organs of the deceased all have the appearance of being ravaged by internal forces, which is the ironclad evidence of the burning heart palm in the body." ”
After hearing this, the three of them were silent, and their faces were ugly.
Chen Guang and Xing Enming don't understand martial arts, so they don't understand the reaction of the three.
Chenguang asked, "Yutian, is there anything wrong with this 'Burning Heart Palm', why are your faces so ugly?"
Chen Yutian sighed slowly.
"Dad, don't you know, this heart-burning palm is a notorious martial art in the rivers and lakes, and the most terrifying thing about it is that it is aimed at, which is the internal organs of people. ”
"Those who fall for this trick will be wreaked havoc by the internal strength, as if the five internal organs are burning, and the pain will be unbearable until death. ”
The last word fell, and Chenguang and the two were taken aback at the same time!
Burning all five inside?
This kung fu is really vicious!
"However, in this case, did the deceased die because he was buried alive, or did he die because of this burning heart?" Xing Enming was a little confused.
Gongsun touched his chin and said, "The deceased died of suffocation, there is nothing wrong with this, because there is a lot of soil left between his mouth and nose, so he should have been buried alive, but ......"
Speaking of this, the conversation suddenly changed.
"While being buried alive to death, he also had to endure the torture of burning his heart, it seems that this murderer hates the deceased very much!
He said slowly, his tone slightly cold.
The others were also speechless for a moment.
Such a method can be described as extremely cruel!
Why did the murderer treat the deceased so cruelly?
With this question, Chen Yu Tianzai carefully looked at the corpse, and then groaned slightly.
Chenguang looked at his son's serious thinking and smiled: "Yutian, did you think of something? ”
Chen Yutian's expression moved, and then he thought for a while and said, "I think that the deceased is very likely to be the chief secretary of the army. ”
"Oh? That's kind of interesting, let's hear it. Chenguang smiled.
Chen Yutian looked at Gongsun on the side and asked, "Gongsun, you should have noticed, right? There are some calluses on the index and middle fingers of the deceased, right?"
"Definitely. I think it's because of the years I put pen to paper. ”
"That's good!" Chen Yutian nodded.
However, this alone does not confirm that the deceased was a military bookkeeper, and at best it can only be inferred that he was a man who regularly picked up a pen and wrote. Gongsun spoke, after all, there are many people in the world who often pick up a pen and write.
"Not bad. At this point, it is indeed impossible to accurately judge his identity. Chen Yutian nodded, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he said, "But the scars on his back are okay." ”
"Scars?" Gongsun wondered, he had also seen the scars. It was indeed a terrible wound, but it was not big, it was only very deep, and judging from his years of medical experience, when this wound was formed, it was almost only a few inches away, and it could directly pierce the heart.
Think how terrible this wound was back then!
In addition, the exterior of this wound is also very peculiar, and with his own knowledge, he can't even tell for a moment what kind of sharp weapon it was injured.
This is also very worrying to him.
"Although the wound has almost healed, it can still be seen that its gap is strangely jagged, as far as I know, we do not have such a strange weapon in the Central Plains, and the sharp weapon that can cause this kind of wound, I think about it, I am afraid that there is only one kind in the world. Chen Yutian explained slowly.
"What is it?" Gongsun hurriedly asked. This question has been bothering him for a long time.
"The serrated knife of the barbarians of the Western Regions. This kind of knife is the standard equipment of the barbarian soldiers, and no one else can have this strange shape of the knife except the army. Chen Yutian said slowly.
"The sword of the barbarian country?" Gongsun was slightly stunned, no wonder he couldn't identify what kind of sharp weapon caused the wound, it turned out to be something from the Western Regions.
"Wait, it shouldn't be impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with people in the Western Regions, let alone being almost killed by barbarian soldiers with knives?" Gongsun muttered secretly, this kind of experience is definitely not something that ordinary people can encounter.
"It's really not an experience that the average person can have. "Chen Yu Tiandao," In fact, in the entire Central Plains, except for the Eagle Yang Guard army stationed on the border of the Western Regions all the year round, almost no one will intersect with the barbarian soldiers, or even clash. ”
"So, do you think that the deceased was once an Eagle Yang Guard?" Xing Enming touched his chin and asked.
"That's good!" Chen Yutian nodded.
"I see! In the midst of the Eagle Guard, the only person who needs to write for many years is the chief bookkeeper in the army!, right?" A voice suddenly echoed in his ears, and Chen Yutian nodded subconsciously.
Immediately, Chen Yutian saw that Ling Miaoyin was looking at him with a smile.
"I see!" Xing Enming suddenly realized, his eyes flashing with dazzling brilliance, "It is indeed possible, I will immediately arrange for people to start investigating in one direction." ”
With that, he walked away quickly.
Chenguang looked at his son, smiled slightly, and exclaimed: "The analysis is very good, but unfortunately there is a place that can barely be explained, and it is not without flaws." ”
"Oh?" Chen Yutian was surprised, he felt that his reasoning was perfect enough, and he didn't know where there was a flaw in his reasoning?
"Please make it clear to your father!"
Chen Guang shook his head and smiled: "You deduce that this person was born in the army, and he only relied on an old scar on the deceased's body, which is quite inappropriate. ”
"Oh?"
"The mere brute from a barbarian serrated knife to judge that he had served in the army is not very convincing. Chen Guang shook his head, "After all, in addition to the barbarian countries of the Western Regions, this sawtooth knife seems to be used by people in the Central Plains martial arts, right? ”
Chen Yutian listened carefully and secretly wrote it down in his heart.
"However, your judgment this time is not wrong, this person was indeed the chief of the army, and this, the tattoo on his arm, is proof!"
As he spoke, Chenguang rolled up the sleeve of one of the deceased's arms, revealing the entire arm.
Chen Yutian looked at it, and saw that somewhere in the upper part of the deceased's arm, there was a tattoo of an eagle with wings ready to fly.
......
The Mansion of the Marquis of Lingyuan
Liu Chong fidgeted as he walked back and forth in the hall.
A person who looked like a housekeeper walked in, hugged his fist at Liu Chong, and said, "Master Hou." ”
Liu Chong immediately rushed to this person and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Back to Master Hou, it's all clear. The two people who died in the ghost military order case have been confirmed to be Wang Yan and Lin Zhisheng, in addition, it is true that as rumors in the market, the two were buried alive and dead, and next to the corpse, a ghost military order was found in each!"
"Did you inquire about the appearance of the ghost military order?"
"The humble let the catcher who had seen this order describe it in detail, and asked the painter to draw this painting according to his description, and asked the Hou Ye to look at it. ”
As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Liu Chong.
Liu Chong opened it and only glanced at it, and immediately changed his complexion: "This ...... It's ......"
......
The Yamen of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Chen Yutian and his entourage all sat in the second hall and listened to the results of the investigation.
"Li Qi?" After listening to the report, Chen Guang raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Xing Enming.
"Yes, according to the students' investigation, the deceased was named Richie. He is one of the people whose whereabouts were unknown after Lin Zhisheng's death, and this person had a close personal relationship with the first deceased Wang Yan, and was the former head of Ying Yangwei. Xing Enming nodded.
"Oh? He has a close personal relationship with Wang Yan, and it seems that when this person was in Yingyangwei, he should have been under Liu Chong?" Chen Guang raised his eyebrows again and said.
"You are really like a god!" Xing Enming exclaimed, "Yes, according to the records of the Ministry of War, Li Qi did serve as the chief bookkeeper under Liu Chong at the beginning, left the army thirty years ago and retired from the army, and is now a businessman. ”
"Oh, thirty years ago, wasn't that the time when Liu Chong was given the throne?"
Chen Yutian also groaned slightly.
Liu Chong was awarded the title of Marquis of Ling Yuan thirty years ago, while Li Qi retired from the army in the same year. Now, Liu Chong's former commands have been killed one by one, is there any connection between the two?
"It seems that the old man needs to probe the tone of this Ling Yuanhou again......"
Finally, Chenguang smiled slightly, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Xing Enming sent out.
Suddenly, there were only four people left in the hall: Chen Yutian, Xue Tianhan, Gongsun and Ling Miaoyin.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" Gongsun asked, looking at Chen Yutian. After the mutual cooperation of the investigation of the two major cases, they have long become tacit partners, but Gongsun still uses the name he used when he was in Lingshui County and has never changed his words.
Chen Yutian looked at the back of his father who was walking farther and farther away outside the hall, and muttered: "Liu Chong's side, just leave it to my father! We have too few clues on hand now, I don't know if we can find more clues on those corpses?"
Hearing this, Gongsun nodded and said, "I understand." ”
After that, he immediately went to Xing Enming to prepare to re-investigate the three corpses.
Chen Yutian looked at Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin, "I wonder if you are willing to help investigate this case again?"
Hearing this, Xue Tianhan said lightly: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I am also quite interested in this case, if you have something, just ask for it." ”
Ling Miaoyin also smiled and said: "I was originally ordered by the master to come to the capital to help you, so if there is anything, you can just say it!"
"Did you come to help me?" or did you follow the teacher's orders?" Chen Yutian suddenly felt strange when he heard this, why would the dignified Sword Saint deliberately arrange his own heirs to help him investigate the case?
What the hell is this idea?
This thought only gave birth to a trace in his mind, and he forcibly suppressed it for the time being, and then he smiled and said: "Since you have all said so, then you are welcome, I hope you can investigate the foundry shops in the whole city, and see where this thing was made, and who asked for it?"
As he spoke, Chen Yutian took out an arrow from his arms, which was the ghost military order.
Xue Tianhan took the arrow and glanced at Ling Miaoyin at each other, both of them saw a look of suspicion in each other's eyes.
Chen Yutian was naturally thinking something, so he said, "Don't ask anything now, I will naturally explain it to you in detail later." ”
The two nodded slightly, and then left.
In the end, Chen Yutian himself also left the second hall.
He was going to go back to the scene where the body was found.
