Chapter 24: The Truth Doesn't Matter
Major Andrew took three careful baths and sprayed perfume on his body, directly spraying three times the usual amount. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, it may be a psychological problem, but Major Andrew still feels that he has a strange smell in him.
However, there is still a lot to do today, and we can't always dwell on the smell of our bodies.
"Let's go, go see those two soldiers. Major Andrew said to his adjutant.
The first is to go to the room where the corpses are parked, endure the smell of rancidity, and then ask the soldiers to open the lid of the coffin.
Lying inside was the soldier who had been killed by the Assassins in the assassination the day before. Major Andrew ordered the soldiers to lift the bodies of the dead soldiers out of the coffins so that he could take a closer look.
The first thing that was noticed was the wound in the neck that killed the soldier. The Assassin's sword nearly cut off the soldier's head, leaving his head barely hanging around his neck.
Major Andrew frowned, "All the reports say that the assassin used a sword, but it doesn't look like it." ”
Second Lieutenant Bob took a closer look, but did not understand what the major was saying: "The wound is very neat, it has been cut by a very sharp blade." You can't conclude that this isn't a sword wound, right?"
"I mean to say that swords are more for stabbing than for chopping. Major Andrew explained: "You see that this wound was cut with force, does it mean that the assassin is not used to using a sword, but is actually more accustomed to using a knife, so he unnaturally shows a habit of chopping at a critical moment?"
"Well, it's possible. Ensign Bob nodded.
Major Andrew remembered the kind of katana that the Fuso samurai liked to use, which looked like a sword, but it was actually a sword, and it could exert great lethality in the hands of samurai who had been trained for many years. However, it would be arbitrary to conclude that the assassin was more accustomed to using a knife based on this wound alone.
"Let's go to the hospital again. Major Andrew proposed.
When we looked into the makeshift tent area of the medical department, the soldier wounded by the assassins was still unconscious, his body wrapped in bandages like a mummy. Fortunately, Major Andrew did not need the wounded to be sober.
With the help of the apprentices in the medical department, the wounded soldier's clothes were removed, and the bandages were removed, leaving the soldier's body naked in front of Major Andrew.
One of the most striking is the huge shoe print on the chest, and you can imagine how powerful the assassin's foot was. Seeing this footprint, Major Andrew couldn't help but change his complexion, only to see that this shoe print was quite unique, and there were several horizontal stripes one centimeter wide in the soles of the shoe print, which were deeply imprinted on the body.
Major Andrew made a gesture to hold a tray, and Ensign Bob immediately cooperated with the fact that it was a clog, which was the usual clogs worn by Fuso.
Major Andrew picked up the clogs and compared them near the wound, and found that the horizontal strip under the clogs was seven or eight points similar to the shoe print on the wound of the wounded soldier.
"Hell, it's really clogs. The suspicion was confirmed, and Major Andrew's face became a little unnatural and became a little hideous. Ensign Bob was about to say something, but was sternly stopped by Major Andrew.
After the apprentices had the soldiers bandaged again, Major Andrew and Ensign Bob stepped out of the tent and went to a secluded place to talk in a whisper.
"In this way, this assassin is a Fuso man who has been transformed into a Ming people. Ensign Bob whispered.
"These bastards are really bold, it's not enough to assassinate the Imperial soldiers, they also want to blame the Akito. Major Andrew almost roared, but he knew in his heart that there were many benefits to doing so.
Disguised as a Ming person, first of all, you can avoid the tracking of the British army, and secondly, you can also separate the relationship between the British army and the Ming people, which can be said to be a few birds in one fell swoop.
"We will follow the clues and focus on searching the Fuso settlements, and we will definitely be able to find the assassins. Ensign Bob said excitedly.
Major Andrew looked at Bob with pity, but shook his head, this Bob was just a junior officer after all, and he couldn't understand the higher-level struggle.
"Of course this assassin wants to search, but not now. Major Andrew said: "In many cases, we just need to know what happened, and what the truth is is secondary. ”
"Are you saying we're going to let the assassin go ahead and not investigate?" asked Ensign Bob, frowning unconsciously.
"On the contrary, we need to find the Assassin immediately, but the way we track him down will change. Under the shadow of the trees, Major Andrew's face suddenly became extremely hideous.
At this time, Li Yingyuan was curled up in that small black room, feeling so uncomfortable that he felt sick to his stomach, and he wanted to vomit out, but he couldn't vomit anything except water. If you can spit it out, you will have to spit it out a long time ago.
My mind was so empty, it seemed dizzy, and it seemed empty, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable. Both physically and mentally, they collapsed severely, exhausted and painful. I really wanted to go to sleep immediately, but I couldn't sleep at all.
In such a painful situation, Li Yingyuan restored the truth of the matter little by little.
First of all, Li Yingyuan understood that the previous interrogation was probably very problematic. The earliest water wheels to soak people in water were just a prelude, in order to put themselves in a state of physical and mental exhaustion and semi-coma before the medication, so as to better exert the effect of the medicine.
Xiao Lingyinguan also has a half-concealed relationship with the people in the rivers and lakes, and Li Yingyuan has heard that there are many magical medicines in the rivers and lakes.
For example, if you slap the powder or something on the child, the child will become confused and follow the person, which is the most commonly used anther in the rivers and lakes.
What's even more amazing is that when you smell a medicine, that person will do whatever others tell him to do. I often hear that someone is drugged like this, and then goes home in a daze and takes out all the money he has hidden for others.
As for this kind of medicine that makes people tell the truth after taking it, it is not very rare, and it is said that there are also people in the six doors of the government who specialize in this medicine, so that no matter how tough the Jiangyang thief is, he can tell the secret.
Unexpectedly, the Major Andrew looked good-looking, but secretly he was proficient in this forbidden drug, and almost let himself tell all the secrets.
Fortunately, I have a golden cicada Dao species, and I can resist this kind of psychedelic agent to a certain extent, and under all kinds of mistakes, I finally kept the secret and didn't tell the secret that I was Jinyiwei.
Otherwise, I won't even be able to stay in this kind of black room, and I'm afraid that I will be immediately put in prison or even shot.
Secondly, through this torture, Li Yingyuan also sorted out the ins and outs of this assassination to a certain extent.
That assassin is probably not a Ming man, but a Fuso man. Then everything is simple, this assassination may not be against Shepud or himself, but just some kind of revenge by the Fuso.
It's just that because he was afraid of being tracked down by the British, the assassin would disguise himself as a Akito. The assassins were about to succeed, making the British think that this thing was done by some Akito who had a grudge against the British, but he didn't expect that he remembered a lot of details after being drugged, hoping that the British would understand that this was done by the Fuso people, and it had nothing to do with the Akito.
However, the biggest gain is to find that the old monk Chen Kun is on this island. Li Yingyuan knew that he was awakening his deep-seated memories by chance, and remembered many things that he didn't care about before, so he discovered Chen Kun's clues.
As for Chen Kun's coming to Dinghai, it seems incredible, but it is very reasonable. The person who assigned him the task was the old monk Chen Kun, and he said that he would send someone to contact him, and he was probably talking about himself.
From another point of view, it is reasonable for Chen Kun to follow him to Dinghai. That Fuso man Musashi Kojiro is strong in martial arts, and there are countless masters under him, if it weren't for a master like Chen Kun to take action in person, just relying on himself and Hai Dagui, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get close to others.
Therefore, when he and Hai Dagui took a boat to Dinghai, there might be Chen Kun on that boat. It was only to ensure Chen Kun's own safety that he didn't talk to himself. Then, with his usual disguise, he often followed him, and when he saw that the assassin was about to kill him, he secretly came to his rescue.
Major Andrew suspected that he was too lucky, and all three of the armed adults were seriously injured or killed, but he had nothing to do with his bare hands, and the secret was here.
With the martial arts of the assassin, he failed to succeed in three consecutive shots, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed incredible, that is, a super master like Chen Kun can save himself under the hands of the assassin, and the assassin does not even find out who made the shot.
It's just that Li Yingyuan is a little worried when he thinks of this, it seems that Chen Kun is bound to get the Perkin cicada Dao seed, so he must also help. But in this case, it is difficult to say whether the British will let themselves out, and the so-called help is really impossible to talk about.
Thinking about these things, his brain hurt for a while, and Li Yingyuan felt that he was desperate and lonely like never before.
