Chapter 18: The Beginning of Suspicion V

I turned my head away, unable to bear to look at it again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There is a broken wound at the base of the left ear, and the wound is uneven and falling off, and there is also a broken mark in the right ear, which has not fallen off, and there is a little gunpowder left in the ear hole. Fatal. ”

Gunpowder?

I was stunned, looked at Huang Zhutou, and saw that he was also looking at me curiously, and without waiting for him to speak, I said: "Ren Zhuzuo, can you see clearly, there are really traces of gunpowder left in Shi Zuo's ears?"

Ren Qizuo paused on his hand and said with a smile: "Gu Darttou, please rest assured, I have been conducting an autopsy for more than 20 years, and I can still tell whether it is gunpowder or not." ”

I paused, a little puzzled, but still said, "Please let me continue." ”

Ren Qi responded, and then listened carefully to Shi Daoshi's head, pressed left and right, and checked back and forth from outside his mouth, and at the same time began to say the results of the inspection in his mouth.

Gunpowder has a long history, being invented as early as ancient times, and is often an indispensable and important thing for making artillery battles. However, in addition to being used to make artillery battles, gunpowder is also very versatile, which can be used in marching battles, and can be made into fierce fire oil tanks with fierce fire oil.

The Fierce Fire Oil Tank was used to defend the city, and consisted of a fuel tank containing Fierce Fire Oil at the bottom and an iron nozzle at the top. When using, you only need to pull the bolt at the tail of the nozzle to suck the fire oil into the nozzle, place a small amount of gunpowder at the nozzle to ignite, and then push the nozzle bolt forward. The explosive oil is extremely flammable, and when it is pushed out of the nozzle, it will immediately ignite when it touches the gunpowder ignited at the mouth of the nozzle, and when it is sprayed out, it will be like a fiery snake, and it can burn the enemy's siege equipment. This kind of fierce fire oil tank is on the upper floor of Chenzhou City, and I have seen it a few times.

However, gunpowder can be used not only to make fierce fire oil tanks, but also to make other powerful weapons, but without exception, they are used for marching and fighting.

Could it be that Shi Dart and his party have encountered the flames of war?

I immediately denied this idea of my own, the Great Song Dynasty is in war, but it has not yet reached the land of Jiangling Mansion. After walking in Chenzhou City for a year, I have heard a little about the war in the Great Song Dynasty. The northern part of the Great Song Dynasty was entrenched in the Liao State, and several times they invaded the border of the Great Song Dynasty, all of which were small fights, and they were all beaten back by the imperial court. I heard Huang Zhutou say that in the past few years, the Liao State has repeatedly invaded, and the momentum is violent, intending to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but later he has not heard of the Liao State coming to invade.

I've never cared much about these things, and I'm not qualified to think about them.

At this time, Ren Qizuo had already inspected Shi Daoshi's chest, and said: "There are no internal organs, the muscles and flesh are not broken, and there are bite marks on the ribs, which are preliminarily determined to be tooth marks." Fatal. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Dart's left leg, Fang put away the tools in his hand, covered the white cloth on Shi Dart's corpse again, hugged our fists, and said, "Huang Zhutou, Gu Darthead, I have strictly inspected the corpse, just like ...... As mentioned earlier, the master was bitten to death by a beast in the mountains. ”

He paused as he spoke, looking at me with a look of guilt in his eyes.

Huang Zhutou thought for a while, took out the four-inch wooden stick from his arms, handed it to Ren Chengzuo, and said, "This wooden stick was taken from Shi Dart's face, and it was originally inserted in Shi Dart's face, have you ever seen such a technique?"

Ren Qizuo frowned, took the wooden stick and looked at it, then lifted the white cloth on Shi Dart's face and looked at it, shook his head and said: "This wooden stick has smooth incisions at both ends, and it stands to reason that it should not be able to be inserted into Shi Dart's mouth, unless it is forcibly inserted by someone with great strength." But ......"

Don't you have a lot of strength? So you weren't bitten to death by a beast in the mountains? I said urgently, "But what?"

Ren Qizuo trembled and said, "But it can't be ruled out that the master himself inserted the wooden stick." ”

"What?"

I, Huang Zhutou and Yang Chong exclaimed at the same time, and I said, "How did Ren make a judgment?"

Ren Qizuo lifted the white cloth, revealing Shi Dart's right hand, pointed at Shi Dart's stiff fingers, and said: "Gu Dart, please look, Shi Dart's right hand is clenched, so he must be holding something before he dies." ”

I vaguely guessed what he was going to say, but I saw that Ren had gently inserted the four-foot wooden stick into Shi Dart's clenched right hand, and the gap between the wooden stick and Shi Dart's right fist actually coincided!

I was stunned for a while, and I only felt that the master lying on the corpse bed seemed to come to life suddenly. Very weird.

Huang Zhutou muttered, "Could it really be that Shi Dart Master himself inserted the wooden stick into his mouth?"

I was a little stunned, if this was the case, wouldn't the death of the master be too unusual? He had obviously been bitten by a beast, and he had pretended to have done an autopsy, and the wooden stick stuck in the mouth of the master showed that the master had been killed.

But this wooden stick can be held in the hand of the master of the stone, how can this be explained?

Killed by a beast?

Or did you kill yourself?

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt cold behind me, like being in an ice cellar. Where in the world would someone kill themselves like this?

At this time, Yang Chong said: "It's the Western Regions Evil Technique. ”

Although Yang Chong had already said that Shi Dart Master had fallen into the spell of the Western Regions Evil Technique to seek debts, but now that I heard it, I couldn't help but feel creepy for a while. However, what Yang Chong said is not reasonable, Tao Qingfeng can use the evil art of the Western Regions to make the big man who follows him have an immortal body, can't Shi Dart Master be killed by someone who uses the head lowering technique to kill himself? It's just that Shi Dart's death method is too difficult to look at, and I can't accept the result that Shi Dart Master committed suicide.

But what else can make sense other than the Western Regions magic that can explain the mysterious death of the Spographer?

Ren Qizuo looked at Yang Chong and said strangely, "You also believe in the evil art of the Western Regions?"

Yang Chong nodded and said, "I have traveled to the Western Regions for a few years, and I know some evil arts in the Western Regions. ”

Ren Cheng smiled suddenly, shook his head, and said, "Another madman, the person who came back from the Western Regions really doesn't have a normal head......"

He stopped halfway through his sentence and looked at me with some fear.

Maybe it's not a day or two since this guy was rude, and he can't change his foul mouth for a while, but I don't care, now that Shi Dart's death is unknown, where do I still have time to worry about these things with him? But his words reminded me of Qi Dajia that Wu Chengbang mentioned to me, Qi Dajia also knows some techniques of the Western Regions, and Qi Dajia happens to be working in the morgue.

I said, "Ren Qizuo, is there a person named Qi Dajia in your corpse?"

Ren Qizuo's face showed surprise, and he said, "How could Gu Darttou know this person? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Go and call this man, I have something to ask him." ”

Ren Qizuo sneered: "It's really unfortunate, that Qi Dajiao returned to his hometown a few days ago, and he won't be able to come back until tomorrow." ”

"Back home?"

Ren said: "Exactly." Qi Dajia is not a native of Chenzhou, but a native of Yongzhou, and this time he went home to visit his relatives and neighbors. ”

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, Wu Chengbang said that Qi Dajia didn't know the art of the Western Regions, only some deceptive tricks, but I think no matter whether Qi Dajia knows some of the art of the Western Regions or not, it's always a good thing to be able to ask some words from his mouth.

Perhaps, he could really know some important questions about the art of the Western Regions from his mouth.

At this time, Huang Zhutou said: "In that case, Brother Gu, let's leave here first." ”

I nodded, and said to the servant, "Take good care of Master Shi's body." ”

Ren Qizuo hugged his fist at me and said, "Don't worry, Gu Darthead, Shi Dart Master couldn't be safer with me." ”

I thought about it, took out five taels of silver from my arms, handed it to him, and said, "I have offended a lot before, and these five taels of silver should be with you next, you can go buy wine and drink." ”

Ren was a little stunned and said, "This ......"

I ignored him and walked out of the morgue.

Leaving the corpse, I walked on the street with Huang Zhutou, the street was bustling, but my heart was cold. Huang Zhutou said, "Brother Gu, you really encountered the Western Regions Evil Technique this time?"

I sighed, "I guess I ran into it." ”

Huang Zhutou said with a smile: "If you bump into it, you will bump into it, if you don't bump into it, what do you say? Brother Gu, you are always secretive when you speak, and it is difficult for people to guess what you are thinking." ”

I'm not sure if Tao Qingfeng really used the Western Regions evil art, so I don't dare to make a conclusion, and I immediately told me about the whole story of encountering Tao Qingfeng.

Huang Zhutou was speechless for a long time, and sighed: "Could it be that the legend is true?

I shook my head and didn't speak.

Looking up at the sky, it was autumn again, the same as last year, but the weather was cooler. The clouds in the western mountains are opening and the fog is dissipating, and a round of sunset is slowly sinking. (To be continued.) )
