Chapter 123: Late-Night Visitors

The second watch has passed, and Lord Yin Duan Pu Qingduan of Jingzhao Mansion is still sitting in the study, looking at the briefing on the murder case of the Zheng Family Theater that has just been urgently reported below. After reading www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion reads, he can't help but sit there and secretly feel worried.

Before the trial of Yan Shizi's murder case was concluded, another murder case of the Zheng family opera appeared, and the deceased turned out to be a person from the Jingguo Mansion!

And what is even more worrying is that the deceased still accompanied Miss Sun Xia Huan'er from the Guogong Mansion to listen to the play. Now she died mysteriously in the theater, and the Miss Sun who was with her was nowhere to be seen!

The people from the Guogong Mansion have come to the yamen to identify the body, and at the same time, it has also been confirmed that Miss Sun in the mansion is missing. Catching the murderer and finding the person, neither of them is easy, and neither of them has anything to do with his Jingzhao Mansion!

Not to mention, there is another thing that is even more troublesome for him, that is, this case is likely to be greatly involved with the son of the left minister, Han Bing!

After receiving the report at the beginning, Jingzhao Mansion sent a head catcher to investigate the case. After they arrived at the scene of the crime, they heard that the deceased might be from the Jingguo Mansion, so they did not dare to touch the body.

However, the head catcher noticed that the deceased's facial expression was strange, as if he had been frightened, and immediately felt that the cause of his death was very suspicious. So he secretly examined the body while no one was paying attention, and he found that there was a very small red dot on the deceased's chest and heart.

The experienced head catcher immediately concluded that the woman had been shot into the heart with a needle-like concealed weapon. Now that it was established that it was a criminal case, the body of the deceased was transported back to Jingzhao Mansion for further examination.

Fang Cai had already experienced the corpse, and actually took out a needle-like object from the deceased's heart. After some careful identification, the conclusion was that this needle should be a secret weapon used by Ruan Jiuniang, a female killer in the rivers and lakes.

Prior to this, the head catcher of the case had already found several identical questions from the clothes worn by the deceased.

Moreover, through the examination of this corpse, the experienced servants found that the nape of the thumb of his right hand, as well as the fingertips on the adjacent sides of the index finger and middle finger, all had obvious calluses, which should have been formed by rubbing against something for many years, which is consistent with the method of casting the needle.

Because the shape of the needle is so small that it is difficult to exert force, it needs to be pinched with the index and middle fingers together, and then ejected with the help of the thumb.

According to the evidence currently available, it has been basically determined that the deceased is the female killer Ruan Jiuniang herself.

The name "Ruan Jiuniang" is very loud in the killer industry, but in the huge rivers and lakes, it seems to be unknown.

Just because she is a treacherous assassin who collects money to kill people, and she also practices assassination skills, she never competes with people head-on, but only plays black hands behind her back. Therefore, how high her martial arts are, there is still no conclusion in the rivers and lakes.

And Ruan Jiuniang is extremely shrewd, and she has always been very low-key. She knew very well that the greater her fame, the worse it would be for her business.

Because as soon as you become famous, those who are curious will try to find out your true colors, and a killer who can be recognized will have little chance of continuing to live.

So far, almost no one knows that this middle-aged woman with a kind smile and mediocre swordsmanship is actually Ruan Jiuniang, the owner of the Questioning Needle.

Although no one knows its owner, the horror of the heart needle is known to many people, especially those who catch heads in the yamen, and they are no strangers to this kind of secret weapon, and they can even be said to be afraid.

It's just that this kind of hidden weapon is extremely difficult to prevent, extremely fast, and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Killers kill people in silence, often for long periods of time, while the people around them are unaware, and by the time they realize that something is wrong, the killer has already fled.

Now, this female killer who has killed countless people has died under her own secret weapon, and the only explanation is that the secret weapon she sent was caught by someone, and then returned to her. This is indeed a very shocking thing, and the person who can catch such a powerful secret weapon is definitely a top master.

At that time, the head catcher who had been to the scene of the crime had already investigated on the spot, and it was inferred from the direction of Ruan Jiuniang's needle that the needle that killed her should have come from the direction of the stage.

At that time, it was "Queqiao Club" that was sung on stage, and there were only a few people who appeared in the whole scene. Moreover, it has been confirmed by spectators that when the halftime break, the deceased also stood up and spoke to Miss Sun of the Jingguo Mansion.

What is so certain is that Ruan Jiuniang was killed in the second half. And in the second half of this "Queqiao Club", in addition to the two children who played the children of the Cowherd, only the Cowherd and the Seven Fairies were left.

Meng Jinliang, who sang the Cowherd, is the head of the Meng family opera troupe, and has been singing Hui Opera in the capital for more than ten years, so he doesn't seem to be a character who will be targeted by killers. And this person doesn't seem to be a martial arts master, otherwise, it is too incredible that he, a young man, can endure for more than ten years without showing his superb skills at all.

And the cold ice who sang the Seven Fairies was different.

Because of Yan Xingbao's case, the people of the Yan family can be said to hate him to the core, and they must want to get rid of him as soon as possible, and it should be normal to hire murderers.

And Han Bing's martial arts are superb, which is obvious to all. I heard that on Tianmu Lake that day, he was able to fly from the smashed boat onto Yan Xingbao's pleasure boat, and he also had a girl in his arms at that time!

In this way, all the evidence points to Han Bing, he should be the one who killed Ruan Jiuniang. But even if there is evidence, what if he dares to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get people?

Mo said that this cold ice is the son of Leng Yiqing, the emperor who is being favored by the emperor, just because he is the nephew of Hua Fengshan, who has a father-son relationship with the emperor, he Duan Puqing can't be provoked!

Moreover, Yan Xingbao's case was manipulated by the emperor behind his back, and Han Bing was just a small pawn. If Han Bing is caught because of Ruan Jiuniang's case, it is possible to expose all the inside information of Yan Xingbao's case, and at that time, how will the emperor spare him Jingzhao Mansion Yin who has done such a bad thing? !

But if you don't grasp the ice, the Jingguo Mansion can't explain. directly pointed out that Xia Huan'er's female master is a killer in the rivers and lakes, and without evidence, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win people's trust.

But if the cause of Ruan Jiuniang's death is fully revealed, anyone with a little common sense can deduce from it that Han Bing is the murderer. In that case, Jingzhao Mansion can't even arrest people if they want to!

And that Miss Sun from the Guogong Mansion, where did she go? It can't be that cold ice that ran away, right?

"Alas!" Duan Puqing sighed, stood up, and began to walk back and forth in the study, thinking about how to deal with the urging of the Jingguo Mansion.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked lightly on the door of this study outside.

Duan Puqing guessed that it might be someone sent by his wife to invite him to sleep in the backyard, and responded impatiently, "You go down first!"

Unexpectedly, the person outside chuckled lightly and asked, "Does Master Duan really not want to see him?"
