Chapter 9 Unexpected Summons
The head was quietly placed on the table.
Chen Yutian looked at the human head, not knowing what he was thinking.
He had no doubts about the words of the dart master who sent the head.
Because he knew very well that this man was not lying.
After coming here from the Kowloon Mansion, he asked the dart master in detail, and the answer was the same as before, and he was emotional throughout the whole process, as if he was afraid that he would mark the felony of murder on his head.
And when he spoke, his eyes did not dodge in the slightest, and completely looked directly into Chen Yutian's gaze, so Chen Yutian believed that he was not lying.
Then the problem can only be with the person who asked them to dart.
Chen Yutian inquired in detail about the person's appearance and characteristics, but the dart master had no memory of this, he clearly remembered seeing the person's face, but he couldn't remember it at all.
This is strange to everyone.
Let the people who have seen themselves not remember their faces, such a method, they have only seen the use of the four saints.
But the murderer obviously can't be a Saint Realm powerhouse,
So how did the killer do it?
Everyone was puzzled.
This kind of method directly aimed at memory is simply not something that ordinary martial artists can use.
The reason why the Saint Realm powerhouses are able to perform it is because they have a strong mind, and they use the mind to influence their memory, causing this effect.
So how did the murderer do it?
Could it be an open mind?
They remembered Yun Taixi who had encountered in the Wind and Snow Mountain Villa, although he had not stepped into the Holy Realm, he had already condensed his own Humble Mind, so he could also use such methods.
It's just that the loss of mental strength is much greater than that of the sage.
But after all, Yun Taixi is already a master who has stepped into the Holy Realm in half a step, such a master, there are few in the world, and the murderer should not be able to reach it.
So how did the murderer do it?
Chen Yutian couldn't figure it out.
Gongsun walked over, picked up the human head, and looked at it carefully.
On the side, Xue Tianhan saw this, and his brows suddenly furrowed. Especially when he saw Gongsun touching the wound on the broken neck with his hand, he wrinkled even more.
"How's that, Mr. Gongsun, can you tell if this head belongs to the previous deceased or the new deceased?"
Xing Enming stood aside and asked.
Gongsun shook his head, and instead of answering his question directly, he asked, "Didn't Master Xing ask Mrs. Wu to come and have a look?"
Xing Enming said: "I've seen it, and she's sure it's not Wu Chengtian's head." ”
Gongsun nodded and shook his head again, making Xing Enming stunned for a while.
"That would at least rule one out of the game...... The severed neck of the human head is extremely smooth, as is the case with all the headless corpses we have found so far, which are wounds. But this head should have been cut off by the murderer, because their methods are exactly the same. However, it is not certain whether this is the new dead or the previous one. ”
"That's ......," Xing Enming sighed.
"After all, I'm not omnipotent. There will always be things that can't be done. ”
Gongsun sighed, and then said, "I think we can draw a picture of this head, put up a notice, and ask the people of the whole city to help us find the deceased, so that we can always know the identity of the deceased." ”
Xing Enming touched his chin and thought about it for a while, and said, "What Mr. said is very true. I'm going to find an artist to copy the head. ”
After speaking, Zhou Lin left.
Chen Yutian looked at the frightened-looking human head, and wondered if letting the painter copy this would cause any bad impact on the old man?
But for now, it's the best way to do it.
At that moment, the dart master spoke again.
"My lord, I don't remember what the man looked like, but we should remember it. ”
"Oh, you're the dartman?"
Chen Yutian frowned slightly and looked at the dart master.
"Exactly, we have always negotiated with that man, and we must remember his appearance. ”
"Where is the other man now?"
She waited on the road fifty miles outside the city, and if the adults did not dislike it, they would go out of the city with the villain. The master replied.
"That's very good, and ask the strong man to lead the way. ”
Chen Yutian's eyes flashed slightly, and an extremely happy smile appeared on his face, and he said to the dart master.
"Hey, okay. The master nodded.
The group said they would go, rode out of the city, and in a short time, they had already come to a place fifty miles outside the city......
The head of the dart was anxiously waiting in the carriage.
Half an hour has passed since the deputy chief dart head went to the government with a wooden box to report the case.
Ever since he left, her heart had been uneasy.
Especially when I thought of the bloody human head in the box, I felt a palpitation.
She has always had no quarrel with others in the dart game, and she has never been a grudge for so many years, so it can be seen that it should not be deliberately framed by someone.
Then the problem can only be with the person who entrusted it.
Thinking of this, a face immediately appeared in the mind of the head of the dart.
It belongs to the one who entrusted it.
"This man may be a murderer, and I am afraid that this is also to deal with this head...... she thought to herself.
As time went on, it got hotter and hotter, and it was almost noon.
The saber dart masters had already rested enough, and stood aside and looked at the head of the dart, with a faint strange look flashing in their eyes.
From just now, they noticed that the head of the vice president's dart seemed to be missing.
They didn't know where he had gone, so they asked the head of the dart, and the head of the dart only said that he had left for a while and would return soon.
But this so-called "soon" has passed a full time of two sticks of incense.
It's been a long time.
"What the hell is the chief dart head, what the second dart head is doing? It's been walking for so long?
The female boss shook her head and said, "It's okay, he's just leaving temporarily, nothing will happen." ”
"That's ......"
The dart master nodded, but the strange color in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and an intuition gradually took over his heart.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
The four of them, along with the head of the dart, looked at the sound at the same time, and only glanced at it, and there was a strong look of shock in their eyes.
Because at the forefront of the team, there was a familiar figure.
Vice President Dart Head.
Everyone was taken aback, and they didn't understand what the vice president had done, and why had so many people come back?
And the people behind him were all brightly dressed, obviously not ordinary people.
Who are these people?
Why did the vice president lead these outsiders here?
These are the two biggest questions in the hearts of the four dart masters.
The chief dart head thought that he would bring the officials of the government to find him, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people coming, and he was taken aback for a while.
Jiulong Mansion and the deputy chief dart head rode fast horses and quickly came to several people.
"My lord, this is our chief dart leader, and he is also the villain's inner son. The deputy chief dart head pulled the head of the dart to Chen Yutian and the others, and said.
Seeing the head of the dart, everyone was slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect this chief dart head to be a woman......" Chen Yutian looked at the head of the dart and thought to himself, he thought it was a burly and sturdy man.
"Li Xiuniang, a grass citizen, has seen an adult. The head of the dart hurriedly saluted everyone.
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly, and said politely: "The chief dart head is polite, and the matter has been explained to us by the deputy chief dart head of Tiemu." We are here to ask you about what happened and what the client looks like. ”
"Looks?"
Hearing these two words, the chief dart head glanced at the vice president dart head slightly strangely, and thought to himself, hasn't he also seen that person? Why did he come all the way to ask me?
The vice president smiled with a hint of shame and said, "It's all my fault, I forgot the appearance of that person at the critical moment, so I had to bring the adults to find you." ”
"I see. The head of the dart nodded, looked at Chen Yutian, and said, "Then I don't know what the adults want to know first?"
Chen Yutian thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with you receiving this dart." ”
The head of the dart nodded.
The man appeared early in the morning when the game had just opened.
As soon as he entered, he asked the people in the dart board if they wanted to make a big deal.
He spoke mysteriously, but with confidence, the chief dart head felt that this man should not seem to be lying, and out of the temptation of the big deal in his mouth, she invited this man into the hall for a deep talk.
After the man entered the hall, he went straight to the point, and took out a wooden box and three or four gold leaves, such a wealthy gesture immediately surprised the head of the dart!
"As long as you can deliver this box to the designated place, these ......," he said, gesturing to the gold leaves, "will be all yours." ”
The head of the dart looked extremely shocked.
Her gaze wandered between the box and the gold leaf for a long time, and finally a slight flash of determination flickered.
"Okay, we'll take it over. ”
"Haha...... The head of the dart really knows the current affairs, these are only part of the remuneration for this matter, and the other part will be paid when the things are delivered to the place. ”
The man stood up and left a note.
"There is a designated place for delivery. I hope the head of the dart doesn't disappoint me. ”
The head of the dart reached for the piece of paper.
But when she saw the address on it, she frowned slightly.
"I had been there with my father when I was a child, and I knew that the address on it was actually a pool, so I became suspicious. ”
After speaking, the head of the dart said.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
If the head of the dart is not lying, then the client's behavior is worth scrutinizing.
No one will send anything to the edge of the pool......
Such a mistake he believed would not be made by the murderer, even if he initially thought that it was impossible for the dart bureau living in the middle of the township to know what that place was.
After all, even so, when the dart board delivers things to their destination, they will still find out the truth of the matter.
That makes no sense.
Therefore, Chen Yutian believes that the murderer will not make such a simple mistake.
So why did he do it?
There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, the murderer originally planned to use the hands of this small dart bureau to send the head to the government.
Thinking of this, Chen Yutian's eyes became slightly gloomy.
The murderer's behavior is simply provocative.
But the next moment he suppressed the anger in his heart again, because he found something strange.
Based on previous speculation, he believed that the killer cut off the deceased's heads and took them away because he didn't want the government to know the identity of the deceased.
But now he took the initiative to throw the head out......
This matter makes some sense.
Chen Yutian thought secretly in his heart, looked at the head of the dart, and asked, "Then I don't know if the head of the head of the dart still remembers the specific appearance of that person?"
The head of the dart nodded lightly and said, "Of course, I will never forget that person's face...... He was about forty or fifty, ordinary-looking, bearded, well-dressed, looking either rich or expensive, and wearing a jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand...... Oh, by the way, I also accidentally saw his right wrist there, there is a big scar......"
Hearing this, the eyes of Chen Yutian and Gongsun, Xue Tianhan and the others behind him immediately flashed with a burst of essence!
"Scars?"
"Yes, right on the wrist of his right hand...... I saw it by accident......" The head of the dart nodded emphatically.
Everyone in the Nine Dragons Mansion looked at each other, revealing doubts.
The scar on the wrist of the right hand? Could it be that the tattoo scar was washed away like the deceased?
If that's the case, then it's a big problem.
After the current investigation, everyone can basically determine that the biggest similarity of the deceased is the tattoo scar in the same position.
And according to the two mysterious people in the martial arts manor, this scar tattoo is proof that they and Wu Chengtian were friendly when they were young!
And now, suspected scars and tattoos have also been found on the murderer's body.
Could it be ...... The murderer is also the person Wu Chengtian befriended when he was young?
So why did he kill his former friend again?
And did you kill several in a row?
......
......
Harem, Cining Palace.
Chen Gong was dressed in a national dress and stood respectfully in the palace.
Not long after, the Queen Mother suddenly sent a message to the Humanist Palace, saying that she wanted to summon the old prince to talk.
Chen Gong felt strange, although the current Queen Mother knew that the Great Mother was in the world, but he himself had almost no intersection with the Queen Mother, why would the Queen Mother suddenly let people announce her entry into the palace?
This question, Chen Gong, who was already standing in Cining Palace, still didn't figure it out.
The palace maids on both sides stood quietly aside, holding their breath and concentrating, making the atmosphere inside the palace extremely dignified.
Chen Gong's face couldn't help but become more serious.
At this moment, a shadow appeared behind the bed curtain in front of him, and the shadow was full of shadows, giving people a sense of ephemerality.
"Old minister, I've seen the Queen Mother!"
Chen Gong knelt down and saluted for the first time.
"Elder Chen, you have worked hard. Excuse me. ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand slightly behind the curtain, and Chen Gong suddenly stood up.
I saw that the Queen Mother in the curtain glanced at Chen Gong slightly, and then smiled: "Old Guogong is curious why the Mourning family summoned you so suddenly?"
Chen Gong was slightly startled!
