Chapter 484: Drawing a snake adds to it
When Shui Lingluo hurried to the mountain behind the Zhongyi League, he saw Han Bingzheng standing there alone with his hands in his hands, silently distracted.
She stepped forward and asked softly, "You and Liao Jingdong went to Guangfu Inn in the morning, did you find something?"
Hearing this, Han Bing turned his head and smiled at her, and said, "Although there are not many things found, it is enough for me to be sure that Guo Shixun, the master of the Civil Engineering Hall, is a chess piece buried by Zheng Yong in the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance!"
Shui Lingluo suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, and asked urgently: "How could it be him? Wasn't his cousin just killed by Zheng Yong's people?"
Han Bing couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, Guo Youzhong was indeed killed by Zheng Yong's people. And the person who killed him was his cousin Guo Shixun!"
"Guo Shixun killed Guo Youzhong?"
Shui Lingluo blinked his eyes a little confused, "But why did he do that? If it was to blame the parting arrow, as long as there was Wu Yuan's body, it would be enough." Why do you want to kill one more Guo Youzhong?"
Because Guo Youzhong is not Zheng Yong's person, this makes him a victim of accidentally breaking into this conspiracy. ”
Seeing that Han Bing deliberately made an unfathomable appearance when he spoke, Shui Lingluo couldn't help but wrinkle his little nose, and urged impatiently: "You can speak more clearly, stop playing tricks!"
Han Bing suddenly smiled and took her little hand and sat down on the rock beside her.
Then he, the bad boy, took the opportunity to stretch out an arm and encircle her little waist.
Without waiting for Luo'er to object, he whispered in her ear: "What I want to tell you next is a big secret. Only by speaking in this way will you not be overheard. ”
Hearing that this scoundrel who could be noticed by him even when his ancestor was hidden behind a distant rock, actually used such a ridiculous reason as an excuse, Shui Lingluo really didn't even want to stare at him anymore, so he just pouted and ignored him.
Seeing that his plan succeeded, Han Bing grinned with a salivating face, and then seriously explained to Luo'er the basis for his conclusion that Guo Shixun was Zheng Yong's subordinate.
"Actually, from the very beginning, I was suspicious of that Civil Engineering Hall Master Guo Shixun. Because earlier, I had asked the Sect Master Lingshi Shui who were the people who objected when the Snow Alliance Master nominated Gu Ning as the deputy alliance leader.
As a result, in addition to the expected Wan Hengjiang, I also heard Guo Shixun's name for the first time.
A few days ago, I asked Liao Jingdong who could be Zheng Yong's person in the Zhongyi League, and I heard Guo Shixun's name for the second time.
And yesterday, when I learned that Guo Shixun was related to the two bloody cases planned by Zheng Yong, the suspicion of him basically became certain, and I only need to find further evidence to prove that he is Zheng Yong's person. ”
Although Shui Lingluo pretended to be annoyed, he had actually been listening carefully. And listen, listen, and she forgot that she was still angry.
Listening to what Han Bing said made sense, she couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, it is impossible for all coincidences to appear in the same person." And among too many accidents, there must be some kind of inevitability. So what evidence did you find in the Guangfu Inn?"
Who knew that by her words, Han Bing grinned a little embarrassedly, and said, "The actual evidence has not been found yet." But I have figured out one thing, and that is Guo Shixun's motive for killing Guo Youzhong. ”
"That's what you just said, because Guo Youzhong is not Zheng Yong's person, right?"
"Not bad. In fact, I also had the same doubts as you at the beginning, there was originally a corpse of Wu Yuan, which was enough to lead the spearhead to the so-called parting arrow, but why did you want to kill one more Guo Youzhong?
With Zheng Yong's old scheming, there is no reason to take such an unnecessary risk, and he has to sacrifice one more of his own people to add to this matter.
Thinking about it this way, the reason why Guo Youzhong was killed is quite intriguing.
Xin Jie once said that the former deputy helmsman of Quanzhou of the Loyal and Righteous League absconded in fear of crime after injuring the helmsman.
Now it seems that Guo Youzhong fled back to Jingyang.
And his purpose, as Guo Shixun said, is probably to let this cousin, who is the head of the civil engineering hall, intercede with the alliance on his behalf, so as to reduce his punishment.
However, unfortunately, Guo Youzhong happened to live in the Guangfu Inn where Wu Yuan was. According to the information collected before, Guo Youzhong and Wu Yuan knew each other when they were in Quanzhou.
It's just that these should not be the reason for Guo Youzhong's death. Of course, the words about them discovering Brother Ling's traces together are even more nonsense.
Therefore, the most reasonable explanation for Guo Youzhong and Wu Yuan being killed by the same murderer is that he probably happened to see the murderer who killed Wu Yuan. ”
"In other words, Guo Youzhong was killed by the murderer?"
"Not bad. According to Liao Jingdong, Wu Yuan should have stayed at the Guangfu Inn a few days ago, but Guo Youzhong only arrived two days ago and lived next door to Wu Yuan.
According to my speculation, Guo Youzhong should have met Wu Yuan by chance. However, it is very likely that he does not know that Wu Yuan is doing things for Zheng Yong, and it is impossible for Wu Yuan to tell him his true identity.
When the murderer found Wu Yuan and killed him, Guo Youzhong should have heard the movement next door, and took a look out of curiosity, but happened to see the murderer escaping from the window.
With Guo Youzhong's eyesight, he should be able to recognize from his body shape that the murderer is his cousin Guo Shixun.
Maybe he wanted to blackmail his cousin and promised to intercede with the alliance for him to reduce his punishment, or maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail, and was ready to take the money and fly away.
In short, Guo Youzhong, a guy with a not very bright mind, wrote a letter to Guo Shixun, but he didn't realize that this letter would kill him.
After Guo Shixun saw the contents of the letter, and at the same time heard that Guo Youzhong lived in the Guangfu Inn, he should have immediately guessed why Guo Youzhong was so anxious to see him.
Until now, he would never let a person who would be caught by the Loyalty League at any time, and who would betray him at any time, have a chance to speak again, even if that person is his cousin.
After meeting with Guo Youzhong, Guo Shixun probably first agreed to his request, and then tricked him out of the city, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to kill him.
In addition, before going to see Guo Youzhong, Guo Shixun should have made up his mind a long time ago and blamed the death of this cousin on the head of the parting arrow.
In this way, no one will suspect the cause of Guo Youzhong's death, let alone go to great lengths to track down the murderer, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”
"Well, your speculations are very plausible!"
Shui Lingluo nodded his head, but at the same time raised another question, "But why are you so sure that the person who killed Wu Yuan must be Guo Shixun?" Maybe Guo Youzhong just recognized that the murderer was Zheng Yong's subordinate and wanted to tell Guo Shixun, but he didn't expect that his cousin was also Zheng Yong's subordinate, so he would be killed by him?"
"There is only one reason, the murder weapon that can shoot ice arrows must be very ingenious, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can make. And Guo Shixun, as the master of the civil engineering hall, should be extremely good at this aspect. ”
Hearing Han Bing say this, Shui Lingluo thought about it, but still shook his head suspiciously: "But yesterday evening, I clearly saw Guo Shixun in the helm of the Loyalty League. How could he pass through the closed city gate at night and rush to the Guangfu Inn to kill people?"
Because he didn't have to go through the closed gates to get into the city very easily. ”
Han Bing replied with a smile, and then turned her head to look at Luo'er, waiting for the little girl to say the answer herself.
And Shui Lingluo only thought about it for a moment, and then blurted out: "Secret passage! Guo Shixun knows a secret passage leading from outside the city to the inside of the city!"
