"Wait, wait!" Shen Haolin waved his hand, signaling for everyone to pause, and said, "Our ideas are a bit confusing. We all talk about ourselves and we can't figure out what's going on. In my opinion, we Let's sort out the known information first, and then elaborate on our respective inferences." Shen Haolin entered the inner room, dragged out a small map shelf, waved to Shen Cha, and said, "Cha'er, draw your map A topographical map hangs on it.”

"No need to do anything, boss, come down!" Ying Wu, who was sitting outside, put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the topographic map of Wuma Town that Shen Cha had just drawn, and hung it on the map shelf. "The Marquis and the military advisor are probably still here. I don’t know what the situation is in Wuma Town. I’ll sort it out for you from the beginning. You can listen while you eat.” Ying Wu ran over and took a sip of tea and said, “What I can confirm now is that this case has nothing to do with our Daxia. The great relationship is mainly between the Liao and Jin. The Jin State’s envoy arrived at Wuma Town yesterday evening and checked into the Jin State’s posthouse in the town. According to the information provided by the postmaster of the posthouse, the envoy was Before moving in, they diligently counted the number of people, called the names according to the roster provided by the mission, and confirmed the people who were staying. There were fifty people, including the special envoy, and all of them were there. After the group checked in, everyone had dinner in the lobby. Except for Wanyan and Wen, who occupied a table by themselves, there were five people per table, making the lobby full. The postman remembered that after dinner, the delegation returned to their rooms. It was almost Xu time. They tidied up the lobby and finished other miscellaneous tasks, and then went back to rest. This time should be around Hai Shi. They said they were not sure, but it was definitely around Hai Shi. The difference was not more than one hour. It was time for a cup of tea. Some of the postmen said that it was strange last night. They felt very tired for no reason, and their eyelids were very heavy. They washed themselves casually and then fell asleep. In this regard, our people and the people of Liao Dynasty It can all be confirmed that the postmen were awakened by them pouring cold water on them, and when they woke up they didn’t know what had happened.”

"This is a doubtful point, write it down!" Shen Haolin wrote this question down on the paper in front of him and said while writing, "The postmen in each posthouse in Wuma Town are all well-trained spies. Their Their alertness is much higher than that of ordinary people. They are in a state of high alert all the time for twelve hours a day. Even at night, when sleeping, they have one eye closed and the other open. Moreover, ordinary drugs are of no use to them, so we need to think about how the murderer managed to make these spies sleep to death!" Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Shen Haolin challenged Ying Wuyi Eyebrow, "Continue."

"Yes, Mr. Guo!" Ying Wu stood on the side of the map shelf and continued, "After the tragedy, each of the three countries sent a team of people to the post house to conduct a search. After everyone counted, it was found that everyone in the mission carried Each of the items and gifts of congratulations was placed in its place and was not lost. Therefore, there was no possibility of killing people and stealing goods. This was the case of Jin. Next is the situation of Liao Kingdom, which is relatively simple. There is no gold So many discoveries. According to the news from Wuma Town, the fifty corpses of the Jin Dynasty mission were found in Wuma Town, which belongs to the Liao territory. The clothes on the corpses were neat and there were no signs of fighting. They were fatal. The injury was a stab wound on the neck. No injuries have been found in other places. Another thing I forgot to mention before was that no murder weapon was found."

"Did you commit the murder after being knocked unconscious?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha and Jin Jing, and shook his head gently, "I don't think so."

"Brother Xiaotian means that smoke can easily lose its effect in an open place. Another point is that the winter at the border is windy. If the wind direction is wrong, not only will the opponent not be able to bewitched, but oneself can easily be accidentally injured. " Shen Cha finished eating a meat pie, picked up the porridge bowl and took a few sips, then continued, "How you managed to charm fifty people in such an empty place is also a question. Another point is that this is the territory of the Liao people. , the Jin envoy entered the Liao territory, did the Liao people not know for some reason, or was this their plan?"

"I don't think the Liao people are stupid enough to lure people to their own territory and kill them, causing so much trouble for themselves." Jin Jing rejected Shen Cha's second inference, "I am more inclined to the previous statement. For some reason, the Liao people did not notice the entry of the Jin people. If this is the case, the murderer is more than one person. It would take at least two people, or more than two people, to attack at the Jin State Post House and the Liao State border at the same time. There's nothing we can do." Jin Jing looked at Ying Wu, "When we did the autopsy, were we sure that the deceased was actually him? Were there no traces of disguise?"

"Yes, the deceased is himself." Ying Wu nodded, "So, the Liao people are very suspicious of the purpose of sneaking in all the members of the Jin mission late at night."

"I agree with Xiaocha's statement. It is definitely not to meet Wanyanxi. It should be for other things." Jin Jing knocked on the table lightly, "Xiaowu, is this much news we know now?"

"Yes, that's it for now." Ying Wu walked back and sat down, "For more details, we have to go to Wuma Town."

"We must go, but not now. We remain neutral in this case. The Jin delegation entered the Liao border directly through the public area and did not go from our side. The body was also found in the Liao border. So, it has nothing to do with us. If Liao and Jin insist on their own opinions, we may be asked to help solve the case." Jin Jing touched her chin, "No, you tell me, they won't suspect that we sent someone to do this, right? "

"No!" Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian shook their heads at the same time. Xue Ruitian patted Jin Jing's shoulder and said, "The Jin Kingdom envoy came to us to celebrate the New Year, and they are not looking for trouble. What are we doing? Do you want to make trouble with them? Besides, we know people who died in Liao territory, and our current relationship with Liao is very delicate, which is reasonable. If we blame Liao, wouldn't we destroy the rare peace? "

"That's right!" Jin Jing nodded, "Let's wait for them to ask us to solve the case." He looked at Shen Cha who had his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking, "Xiao Cha, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about who would be most beneficial if the entire mission was wiped out and the bodies were found in Liao." Shen Cha opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the map shelf, and wrote "murderer" on the paper, " "The mission," he drew a line between the two, and said, "Let's analyze it slowly. Just now the military advisor said that the mission was completely destroyed. The first thing everyone suspected was our Daxia. This idea is not wrong. If it is the Three Kingdoms In the case of war, this is the most reasonable reason. But it is not appropriate to use it during the truce period. What's more, the destruction of the Jin Kingdom mission will not do us any good. On the contrary, it will bring endless trouble. During the New Year According to our custom, it is very unlucky to encounter this kind of thing when you are here."

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "One more thing, we just executed Liao and Jin Xizuo, just because we didn't want to see blood during the Chinese New Year, we specifically chose to do it before the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. This One point, the Liao and Jin Dynasties are also very clear in their hearts, and they will naturally exclude us. There is also another point. In the official letter of the Jin Kingdom, it is stated that the special envoys are sent here to explain why there is their detailed work in Jiaping Pass. .We are waiting to hear what they have to say, and we are not likely to fool them before we have a definite answer. This is too unreasonable."

"Brother made it very clear. Both Liao and Jin are aware of this, so our suspicions have been cleared." Shen Cha continued, "The second person to be suspected is Liao. As the military advisor just said, Liao is also impossible. They will not commit murder on their own territory. If the envoy dies in a public area, all three countries will be suspected. If the envoy dies in the Liao border, the suspicion of the Liao can be completely eliminated, and the possibility of being framed is the greatest. I think Liao and Jin knew this very well."

"So, now there is only one situation left." Xue Ruitian tapped the table with a fan, "Jin's internal strife!"

"I think so, but the details will depend on what clues can be found in Wuma Town."

"Also, if they are not acquaintances, Wanyan and Wen will not lead people into the Liao Kingdom. He is not a brainless person."

"Yes, I thought that someone used Wanyanxi's name to lure them, but they couldn't attract the entire mission. Therefore, the person who sent the message should be an acquaintance of Wanyan and Wen, and he is not There will be people who are wary." Shen Cha nodded, "I just said that if all the missionaries are killed, who will be most beneficial? From the news we know so far, it should be Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping. For the father and daughter, because throughout the disaster relief process, Wanyan and Wen had been going against them, and even encouraged the nobles of Yiqing Prefecture to go against them, which made the father and daughter very annoyed. But they were annoyed, because I think the possibility of killing the entire mission and then blaming it on Liao is unlikely. If the murderer is really sent by the father and daughter, there may be other reasons."

"Other reasons... Do you suspect that they know about Wanyan's relationship with Wen and Wanyanxi, so they cleanly get rid of the big trouble?" Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "It's possible, but there is another possibility."

"The murderer is not them." Shen Haolin asked Ying Wu to put the dishes on the table into the food box. "It is someone who has hatred against both of them."

"Yes!"

"If it's as you guessed, it's getting more and more complicated and scary!" Jin Jing shook her head and rubbed her numb legs, "Let's go, it's almost time, go and say hello to the deputy commander-in-chief. Well, by the way, let’s also listen to his opinion.”

"good."

Everyone stood up one after another, put on their big cloaks, and walked out. Only Xue Ruitian hesitated and stood in front of the map shelf for a long time, and it was Hongye who rushed in and pulled him out.

I don't know if he was too absorbed in thinking about things and was a little absent-minded. Xue Ruitian's head hit the open door directly.

"Ah, it hurts!"
