In the rudder of the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, the leader of the alliance, Xue Youyou, frowned slightly, sat on the wide mahogany chair, and listened to the law enforcement officer Wan Hengjiang in the torture hall standing under the hall report a bloody case that happened not long ago.

"The leader of the alliance, it has been verified, the person who died in the Guangfu Inn last night is indeed the original deputy alliance leader of the left who accompanied Wu Yuan. ”

"Wu Yuan?"

Xue Youyou didn't remember the people around Zuo Yusong in the past, but Wan Hengjiang's words still made her hear some clues, "You mean, this Wu Yuan is no longer a member of my Loyalty Alliance?"

Wan Hengjiang nodded and replied, "It's not anymore." As early as two months ago, he left Yuanfang Pavilion on his own and disappeared for a long time. Until this morning, he was found dead in the Guangfu Inn in the city. ”

"Yuanfang Pavilion?"

Xue Youyou couldn't help but turn her inquiring gaze to Liao Jingdong, the Shunfeng Hall Master who was constantly wiping his sweat, "Hall Master Liao, Wu Yuan left Yuanfang Pavilion in the first place, and it was your people who were the first to find his body in the Guangfu Inn this morning. I'm sure it's not a coincidence, right?"

Liao Jingdong hurriedly put down his hand that was wiping his sweat, stepped forward and replied: "Back to the alliance leader, this matter is indeed not a coincidence. In fact, earlier yesterday, his subordinates had already discovered that Wu Yuan was living in the Guangfu Inn.

When his subordinates learned the news, they ordered people to monitor his movements. Because he was afraid of being discovered by Wu Yuan, the people sent by his subordinates did not dare to stay in the inn, but hid near the inn and kept an eye on his entry and exit.

But who knows, early this morning, the guys at the inn went to deliver hot water to Wu Yuan, but found that the door was hidden. As a result, when I opened the door, I found that Wu Yuan had died in the room.

The shopkeeper of the inn did not dare to make a noise, but only sent a man to report to the official. The man sent by his subordinates to monitor noticed that the guy's expression was wrong, so he intercepted the man and asked about the situation.

After the subordinates got the report, they immediately ordered someone to buy off the shopkeeper of the Guangfu Inn and kept the matter a secret. Wu Yuan's body was personally brought back to the helm by his subordinates and handed over to the torture hall for further disposal. ”

Xue Youyou nodded slightly, and said, "Master Liao's response afterwards was quite appropriate. It's just that there is one thing that is not yet clear. Before the incident, when your people had just discovered Wu Yuan's traces, why didn't you directly report the matter to the chief helm, but just ordered someone to monitor him?"

Liao Jingdong couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead again, lowered his head and replied: "This matter is indeed a mistake of his subordinates who are not careful! When Wu Yuan was discovered yesterday, it was already late, and all the city gates in the four places had been closed.

At that time, his subordinates only regarded Wu Yuan as a fugitive who had left the alliance without authorization, and felt that the matter of arresting him was not very important, so they did not open the secret passage and rushed to the helm in time to report the news. I really didn't expect that just one night later, Wu Yuan would suddenly die!"

A shrewd and cunning person like Liao Jingdong naturally understands that Han Bing must not be involved at this moment, let alone let people know that they are secretly doing things for Han Bing.

Because he had already secretly checked Wu Yuan's corpse, he had a very bad premonition in his heart at that time. So all he has to do now is try to get rid of his relationship with the whole thing.

Fortunately, his explanation was indeed reasonable, and it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

After Xue Youyou heard this, she said softly: "In this way, this matter is not the fault of Hall Master Liao. After all, under the circumstances at that time, no one could have predicted that such a bloody case would happen later. ”

Liao Jingdong hurriedly bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you for your understanding!"

"Hmm-"

Xue Youyou nodded slightly, "Since Wu Yuan has stayed in Yuanfang Pavilion, presumably Hall Master Liao still knows a little bit about him. Can you guess who would do such a murderous act against him?"

"Alliance Master, Wu Yuan has always been the personal escort of the Left Deputy Alliance Leader in the past, and after the assassination of the Left Deputy Alliance Leader, he stayed in Yuanfang Pavilion for a very short period of time, and then disappeared.

To be honest, his subordinates really don't know much about him. I just feel that this person has always been silent and alone, and I really can't guess who he will have such a deep enmity with. ”

Hearing Liao Jingdong say this, Xue Youyou turned her gaze to Jing Yuanshu, the master of the Ying Hall, "Master Jing Hall, what do you know about this Wu Yuan?"

Jing Yuanshu was originally Zuo Yusong's confidant, and he knew more about the people around him than others.

What's more, as the master of the Ying Hall, he can remember the names of thousands of people in the alliance perfectly, so naturally he will not be unfamiliar with Wu Yuan, who has not been in the alliance for a long time.

Sure enough, hearing Xue Youyou's question, Jing Yuanshu hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Alliance leader, for Wu Yuan, his subordinates do know a little bit about this person.

He was originally the personal escort of the Left Deputy Alliance Leader, and he has always been trusted by the Left Deputy Alliance Leader. At the beginning of this year, he was also assigned by the head of the Left Deputy Alliance to go to the south to assist Gong Yan and investigate the murder of several helmsmen in the alliance.

As a result, although they finally found out that the murdered rudder masters were all killed by the parting arrow Ling Qiyu, at the same time, it also revealed the identity of his northerner secret agent.

And Wu Yuan, as Gong Yan's assistant, has always had a close relationship with him, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Therefore, since then, the Left Deputy Alliance Master did not let Wu Yuan return to the helm, but arranged an idle errand for him in the Yuanfang Pavilion.

After the assassination of the Left Deputy Alliance Leader, Wu Yuan stayed in the Yuanfang Pavilion for more than two months before he left suddenly, and no one knew where he had gone. ”

After listening to Jing Yuanshu's detailed description, Xue Youyou said thoughtfully: "It seems that for some reason, Wu Yuan returned to Jingyang, but died inexplicably in the Guangfu Inn. ”

Immediately, she turned her gaze to Wan Hengjiang, the law enforcement officer of the Criminal Hall, "Wan Law enforcement, has Wu Yuan's body been examined? What do you think about the specific cause of his death?"

Wan Hengjiang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the alliance leader, my subordinates have carefully inquired about the guy who first discovered Wu Yuan's body, and they already have a general understanding of the situation at the scene of the crime.

At that time, the guest room where Wu Yuan lived was not only the door was empty, but even the windows were ajar.

It stands to reason that it was windy and cold last night, and Wu Yuan had no reason to open the window in the middle of the night. So, that window was most likely opened by the murderer.

It can be inferred from this that the murderer should have entered the room through the window, and after killing Wu Yuan, he left through the window. As for the door being hidden, maybe Wu Yuan forgot to close it at that time, or was waiting for someone.

However, what Wu Yuan was waiting for was definitely not the murderer. The murderer should not know Wu Yuan, but his martial arts are above Wu Yuan, so it was not until he broke into the room that Wu Yuan was shocked to resist, but he was finally killed by the enemy.

His subordinates had ordered someone to examine Wu Yuan's wounds, and the preliminary cause of death should have been pierced through his throat by something like a sharp arrow. ”

Xue Youyou couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and asked, "You mean that the real murder weapon has not been found?"

"Nope. The subordinates have made inquiries and have not seen anything that could be the murder weapon at the scene of the crime. The person in charge of examining Wu Yuan's body also said that no foreign objects were found inside or outside the wound that could cause death. ”

After saying this, Wan Hengjiang suddenly paused strangely for a moment, and then said in an aggravated tone: "But my subordinates suspect that Wu Yuan died from the parting arrow!"
