The next day, just after dawn, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"What's going on?" Shen Cha sat up and wanted to get past Shen Haolin and go out to take a look, but was stuffed back into the quilt by Shen Haolin.

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look first!" Shen Haolin quickly got off the bed, walked outside, put on his cloak, opened the door, and a panicked Ying Wu appeared in front of him. Shen Haolin Hao Lin felt very surprised. Ying Wu had been with them for a long time. No matter what happened, he had never seen him like this. It seemed that something really big happened this time.

"What happened?" Shen Haolin let Ying Wu in and closed the door. He glanced inside and saw that Shen Cha had quickly put on his clothes and walked towards them. Shen Haolin took a picture. Wu said, "Take a breath first and speak slowly."

"Master, boss!" Ying Wu saluted, took the teacup handed over by Shen Cha, drank the tea inside, and said, "Something big happened. The Jin Kingdom's envoy was in Wuma Town at the junction of Xia, Jin, and Liao. There was a surprise attack, and the entire mission, from the envoy to the attendants, was killed, and no one was spared."

"Did the Kingdom of Jin send a delegation to congratulate you? When did it happen? When did you receive the news?"

"I don't know when it happened. As soon as I received the news, I came to report it to the Duke and the boss. The fourth brother went to tell the Marquis."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, both of them were surprised. The Liao delegation had just left the day before, and then the Jin delegation was destroyed at the junction of the three countries. If it was a coincidence, it would be too much. , but it can be said that it was planned for a long time. The small Wuma Town is a place where the forces of the Three Kingdoms intersect. There are countless informants and spies. It is not easy to kill people there.

"So, what's going on at the scene?"

Shen Cha was pulled by Shen Haolin to sit behind the desk. He took a blank piece of paper from the table, and Ying Wu consciously went to grind the ink for her.

"There were a total of fifty people in the Jin Kingdom's envoy, and all of them died. Their bodies were located in the territory of Liao Kingdom. After inspection by three witnesses, it was found that all fifty dead people were stunned and then fatally stabbed."

"Stunned? Fatal with one knife?" Shen Haolin, who had already gotten up, ordered Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to prepare hot water and tea. Hearing Ying Wu's words, Shen Haolin also felt strange when he heard Ying Wu's words, "There were no other damaged parts of the body? The clothes were also damaged. Neat?"

"Yes, so far it seems that the body has no other injuries, the clothes on the body are neat, and there are no signs of struggle."

"Those who were stunned will naturally have no traces of struggle." Shen Cha sighed, "What other clues are there?"

"There is indeed something very strange, and the brother who came back with the news was also puzzled. The main reason is that the location where the body appeared is very strange, and after inspection, it was confirmed that the body had no trace of being dragged."

"In other words, they sneaked into the Liao Kingdom with purpose and were killed."

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded, "According to the news sent back by the brothers, the place where the Jin delegation stayed was their own post house. They arrived yesterday evening, so there was no possibility of being attacked during the day. .So, what is certain is that the death occurred last night. But they have been working hard all day and can’t rest well in the post house at night. What are they going to do in the Liao Kingdom, fully armed?"

"The special envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is Wanyan Yuwen, and the entourage of the envoy is all his own people. He probably wanted to sneak into the Liao Kingdom quietly to find Wanyanxi. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Wanyanxi had already followed the Liao Dynasty. The Chinese delegation is heading to Xijing."

"He doesn't know?" Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow, "What's going on?"

"You, Yerunan told me when Brother Xiaotian and Xiao Fengqi went out to enjoy the snow scenery. Since Wanyanxi told Wanyan and Wen that they would meet him in Xijing, all the information Wanyanxi has sent out They were all stopped secretly by Yelu Nan and Yelu Lan. Therefore, Wanyan and Wen didn't know when the Liao delegation arrived at Jiaping Pass. He took people to Liao, probably because he wanted to see Wanyan. Hi. But...it doesn't make sense to think like this. He should know that the Liao delegation will never abandon the near and seek the far away. They will choose Teng Wu instead of Wu Ma." Shen Cha frowned slightly and quickly wrote on the paper. The topographic map of Wuma Town is drawn on it. "The entire Wuma Town is a large triangle, connected to the borders of various countries. With us as the center, Jin is on the left and Liao is on the right. Because Tengwuguan of Liao is far away from We are closer here, so every time we send a mission to come, we usually go to Tengwu instead of Wuma. But if we are going to the Kingdom of Jin, Wuma is the only way for the envoys from the Liao Kingdom. But in addition to the Kingdom of Jin, There is no other choice on this road to Wuma Town!" Shen Cha drew a thin line on the map, "Crossing the public area in the middle of the night, sneaking into the Liao Kingdom quietly... Do you think there will be someone pretending to be a complete person? Yan Xi sent a message to Wanyan and Wen, asking him to meet her at this time?"

"It's possible!" Shen Haolin touched his chin, "But before we said we would meet in Xijing, and now we choose to meet in Wuma, there must be a very reasonable and plausible reason." He looked at Ying Wu. , "Where is their luggage? Is it still in the inn? Did you find anything suspicious?"

"All the luggage is still there, but when our people sent the message, the search was not over yet. It's hard to say yet what exactly was found." Ying Wu nodded and pointed to the place that represents the Kingdom of Jin. , "Not only are their luggage there, but the gifts sent to Daxia are also there. If it was robbery and murder, it would definitely be different."

"Has anyone seen the appearance of the murderer or found any traces of the murderer?" Shen Cha, who was pulled by Shen Haolin to rinse his mouth, wash his face, and comb his hair again, drank slowly while holding the tea cup, "They wore Didn't anyone notice when I passed the public area?"

"There is no news about this yet." Ying Wu shook his head, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and something like this happened. The Jin Kingdom has been really unlucky in the past few years, and any bad luck can happen to them."

"Xiaowu, send a message to our brothers in the Kingdom of Jin and ask them to check how many people in the Kingdom of Jin are aware of the relationship between Wanyan and Wen and Wanyanxi. This matter is of little concern to us for the time being. Xia has nothing to do with it. We maintain a wait-and-see attitude and pay close attention to the development of the situation. If possible, see if our brothers can enter the post house and check the rooms, especially Wanyan and Wen’s room."

"In my opinion, it's better for us to go there in person." Xue Ruitian opened the door and walked in with Jin Jing and Hong Ye, carrying two food boxes in his hands, "The case happened in Wuma Town, whether it is No one can escape the relationship, not to mention that the person who died was the Chao Xia envoy, so we are also suspected."

"Breakfast?" Shen Cha opened the food box and raised his eyebrows when he saw the rice porridge, side dishes and meat cakes inside, "Miaomiao's craftsmanship! Everyone, sit down and eat together, Xiaowu, you come too!"

Ying Wu nodded. As Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's absolute confidant, this was not the first time for him to have dinner with these big guys.

"You two and Hong Ye, what do you think?" Shen Cha drank two mouthfuls of porridge, picked up a meat pie, took a bite, and said, "I just told my brother and Xiao Wu that someone is probably pretending to be Wanyan. Xi sent a message to Wanyan and Wen and asked him to meet. But there is a big problem here. Why did they bring so many people to the meeting? He took the entire mission away. "

"So, you are going in the wrong direction!" Xue Ruitian waved his hand and pointed at the topographic map Shen Cha placed on the table, "It's definitely not to see Wan Yanxi, it must be for other purposes. I didn't think about them. What was the purpose of going to the Liao Kingdom? I was wondering how the murderer stunned them. Generally speaking, there are two situations when being stunned. One is that the murderer is a member of the mission..."

"Master Marquis, it's impossible. All the people in the mission are dead and there is no one left alive!" Ying Wu shook his head, "There is no possibility that the murderer is a spy in the mission."

"Listen to me first. If the murderer changes his temper and infiltrates among the envoys, stuns them when they enter the Liao Kingdom, and then kills them. The other option is what Xiaocha just said It is inferred that someone pretended to invite them out and used the same method as before to kill people. But... there is something unclear here. So many people entered the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao people didn't notice it? Even if the murderer was in their To commit murder on the territory? Unless..."
