Shen Tian actually knew that the murderer was visiting, and Su Zhuo was also puzzled by this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Mrs. Song suddenly said: "The lord read a letter yesterday, so he ordered the villain." ”

He finally said something useful, and Liu Wentian scolded: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Song Taiwu said with self-reliance: "Your Excellency, you didn't ask!"

Liu Wentian couldn't get angry with him, so he had to say, "Where is that letter?"

Mrs. Song said: "The letter is in the master's study, and it was received by the master. ”

Liu Wentian said loudly: "That letter must have been sent by the murderer, don't look for it quickly!"

Su Zhuo sighed and thought secretly: "This murderer is careful, I'm afraid that the letter was taken away by him last night." He had no clue for a moment, and his mind kept imagining what happened last night, but he couldn't find any clues. Suddenly, a grinding mark on the chair caught Su Zhuo's eye, it was a trace of a piece of hemp rope, which rubbed off a piece of paint on the back of the chair.

Su Zhuo squatted down, stretched out his fingers and compared, and sure enough, it was about the same thickness as the strangulation marks on Zhao Yan's hands and feet. Su Zhuo said secretly: "He actually used the same rope, and judging from the grinding marks and Zhao Yan's strangulation marks on his hands and feet, this rope must be very rough." ”

Su Zhuo sighed and said to Liu Wentian: "Go to the West Market to see if there is a place that sells hemp rope or straw rope, and ask if anyone has bought a roll of rope two days ago." He also knows that this method of finding a needle in a haystack may not work, but it is better than nothing at the moment.

Liu Wentian understood and immediately ordered the messenger to go. As soon as Su Zhuo wanted to get up, he suddenly saw the deceased Shen Tian stepping on a piece of paper under his feet, which was covered by Shen Tian's body, and he couldn't find it without squatting down. He gently lifted Shen Tian's right leg and pulled out the piece of paper, which turned out to be an open envelope.

There was only one line written on the envelope: "Mr. Dream". Su Zhuo said strangely: "Who is Mr. Dream?"

Mrs. Song replied: "Mr. Dream is a number used by my master in the past!"

Su Zhuo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Shocking dreams...... ......Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said loudly, "Could it be so?"

Liu Wentian was startled and asked, "What did Brother Su think of?"

Su Zhuo took out a pen and paper on the table, copied the blood poem in Zhao Yan's shop yesterday, and then said: "We all thought that this poem was related to the deceased Zhao Yan. And the first sentence from Zhao Yan's pen also illustrates this point. But it seems that we are all wrong, these last few sentences should refer to Shen Tian!"

Everyone was a little confused and asked, "What does this have to do with Shen Tian?"

Su Zhuo stroked the second sentence with a pen and said: "This second sentence 'not to get Liaoxi' is from the pen of Jin Changxu, and the previous sentence is 'Crying Concubine Dream', which coincides with Shen Tian's number 'Shocking Dream'! It seems that this envelope was sent by the murderer." The murderer took the letter as he left, but forgot the envelope that had fallen on the ground. ”

Liu Wentian was taken aback and said, "According to what you say, could it be that the murderer had already planned to kill Shen Tian when he killed Zhao Yan?"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Not only that, but the murderer has already planned who the next person to kill is!" he said, pointing to the lines of poetry on the table.

Liu Wentian gasped and said, "If that's the case, isn't there still someone who wants to die......?" This...... This ...... "He has been an official for many years, and he has never encountered such a strange thing, and he is a little flustered for a while."

Su Zhuo said in a deep voice: "If we don't solve the mystery in this poem as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the murderer will succeed tonight!"

Liu Wentian said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This...... According to your speculation, the second sentence of the poem on the table is 'A thousand peach trees in the Xuandu Guanli', and the latter sentence is 'Liu Lang went to plant it'. The murderer means that the next person to be killed is a person surnamed Liu?"

He suddenly remembered that his surname was Liu, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "Ah! I am surnamed Liu, am I ...... Could it be that the murderer wants to kill me?"

The others were startled when they heard him shout. Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "In the first poem, it has been specified that Shen Tian will be killed. And the meaning in the poem is difficult for ordinary people to see at a glance. The murderer left a poem for Shen Tian to see, and it was clear that he was going to kill him! According to this, this second poem will not only leave a surname, but will also indicate who the person to be killed is. ”

Liu Wentian was still a little afraid, and said tremblingly: "Then who is he going to kill......?" The Xuandu Temple is in Nanyue Hengshan, does it mean that the Taoist priests who live in the Taoist Temple in the south of the city?"

Su Zhuo groaned: "Chengnan Taoist priest...... If the second sentence refers to the deceased, what do the last two mean?' 'A bush of dark flowers, ten households endowed'...... One...... Ten...... Twenty-four Bridges ......" He chanted a few times, suddenly woke up, and said: "Hurry up and bring the map of Chang'an City!"

Liu Wentian was busy ordering his subordinates, and after a short time, he took a scroll of maps. Su Zhuo hung the map on the wall, pointed out the map, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "That's the case!"

Liu Wentian stepped forward and asked, "What does it mean?"

Su Zhuo finally showed a relaxed smile on his face and said, "When I didn't arrive in Chang'an, I heard a friend say it. Since the establishment of the city in the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an City has a square lattice system, regular rules, horizontal and vertical. When I saw this picture today, I realized that this was indeed the case. You see, the map shows that Chang'an is square, with three city gates in the southeast, south, and northwest, and six main roads running through the city. The squares in the city are neatly arranged, and there is no error at all. ”

Liu Wentian was puzzled: "We all know this, but what does this have to do with the case?"

Su Zhuo smiled: "Naturally, it has something to do with it! The first poem left by the murderer indicated that Shen Tian would be killed. Three or four of the sentences, 'a bush of dark flowers, ten households in the endowedness' indicate the location of Shen Tian! This picture shows the north and south, left and west, right and east. If you count from west to east, one is the leftmost row. Then from south to north, count to ten, and it refers to Gudefang!"

Liu Wentian read it according to his instructions, and suddenly realized, "So that's the case! Then the 'Twenty-four Bridges and Bright Moon Night' in the second poem is the ......" He pointed to the picture for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Su Zhuo continued: "You can only count to ten from left to right, and you can only count to thirteen from bottom to top, so it won't be a combination of two, fourteen, or twenty and four. Then there should be two, twelve, three, eight, four, six, these three combinations, and from this we can find five squares. That is Anding, Guangde, Jinchang, Chongde, Lanling!"

Liu asked Tiantian: "But these five squares have a large population, and there must be a lot of people with the surname Liu, how to find them?"

Su Zhuo pondered for a while and said, "Jinchang and Lanling are under the jurisdiction of the Zuojie envoys, so they can only send someone to inform them to strengthen their vigilance. As for the remaining three squares, Andingfang is in the north of the city, and there are guards stationed, I don't think the murderer will choose that place. There are only two squares left, Chongde and Guangde, and they can only send people to inspect more tonight. ”

Liu Wentian shouted: "Zhuo Wu!"

A catcher stepped forward to receive the order. Su Zhuo had some impression of him, remembering that he was the capable errand in Zhao Yan's shop yesterday.

Liu Wentian said: "Zhuo Wu, you take all the arresters to strictly inspect these two squares tonight!
