Chapter 657 Clues
Datong Escort Agency.
Han Huanzhi got off the carriage, and the people from Tingwei's mansion had already controlled the entire courtyard. There was no corpse in the entire courtyard. All the people in the Datong Escort Agency died in the same place. As soon as they came in, they could see corpses on the ground.
After Han Huanzhi entered the door, his face looked a little ugly: "The murderer knows these dead people, or the murderer has the ability to gather them together."
Ye Liuyun nodded: "The so-called Tianzi Department?"
Han Huanzhi said, "Ninety-nine percent, there are people outside guarding us. Because we are holding funerals, it is not convenient to interfere more before we make sure that they are all criminals. If the people in the Datong Escort Agency are all from Dizi, Tianzi Ke sent someone to sneak in and gather people together in the name of summoning them to discuss matters."
Meng Chang'an said: "Because it is someone from Tianzi, the people from Datong Escort Agency will naturally not make any sounds, and will also send people to stare at the people from Tingwei Mansion. They thought that the saviors had come and saved them from the fire and water. But they did not expect that the people who came came to kill them. Most of them were killed here. It became easier to kill those who were staring at Tingwei Mansion with the strength of the murderer. After killing people, they would transfer the bodies over."
Han Huanzhi closed her eyes and a picture appeared in her mind.
At night, the people from the Datong Escort Agency were scattered everywhere, some were in their own rooms, some were in the lobby mourning shed, and some were in the yard. At this time, the people from Tianzi Ke appeared in the lobby, and this person must have been known to some people in the Datong Escort Agency.
He asked the head of the Datong Escort Agency to gather everyone in the lobby and arranged for people to stare at the people from the Tingwei Mansion outside the yard. No one dared to make a sound, and even walked was deliberately very light. They gathered in the lobby from all directions, and the visitor ordered the door to close the lobby.
He was speaking, using his speech to distract those people from the people. Everyone watched him listen to him with concentration. No one noticed that other people from Tianzijiao were sneaking in. They sprinkled some kind of powder in the lobby? Maybe it was a drug, or maybe it was a poison. No matter what it was, people from Tianzijiao should have taken the drug.
Han Huanzhi opened his eyes and raised his left hand. A thin rope ejected from his cuff. One end of the rope was an iron claw that looked very small. The iron claws clamped the beam of the lobby. Han Huanzhi floated up and turned over and fell on the beam of the house. Naturally, no one had cleaned the beam of the house. He saw the footprints left on it at a glance.
He jumped off the beam and looked around: "Where is Xue Zhao?"
The Tingwei next to him replied: "The Qian Office Assistant found blood on the grass behind the house and searched along the blood."
"I've been fooled."
Han Huanzhi's face changed. After these three words were said, others had already swept out of the back window.
The person who sneaked in from Tianzi Ke came in from the roof and deliberately hid his own path. It is impossible for him to be careless when he leaves and he doesn't know it. That can only be a trap made on purpose. In order to hide his path, it is naturally the safest way to go back.
Meng Chang'an and Ye Liuyun saw Han Huanzhi rushing out, and the two followed closely behind. Han Huanzhi left the backyard and landed on the street. After a moment of silence, the person was already on the roof of nearby houses and indeed saw traces.
"What might be wrong with Xue Zhao."
Han Huanzhi looked at Meng Chang'an and Ye Liuyun: "The clues left by those people on purpose."
The three of them followed the route Xue Xuan had taken before, with the traces intermittently. After a moment, they arrived in the alley. Han Huanzhi fell and frowned, looking at the blood on the ground in the alley. There were a few small pieces of minced meat sticking to the wall next to them. There were obviously fierce fighting.
He raised his head and his eyes stopped at the deepest house.
Ye Liuyun strides forward: "Old rules."
Han Huanzhi nodded.
Ye Liuyun, who was fluttering in white, walked directly to the door of the house, pressed her one hand on the door panel, exerted force in her palm, and after a loud bang, the two door panels were directly shaken away.
The moment the door panel flew out, Han Huanzhi also rushed in. This was the first time Meng Changan saw Ye Liuyun and Han Huanzhi cooperated to take action, and he was stunned for a moment.
Han Huanzhi went in with the door panel. He could actually stick his feet to the door panel, which made people feel so unreal, just like a person could squat on the wall. If there were people in the yard, he would never guess that there was a person squatting behind the door panel.
But there are no living people in the yard.
Han Huanzhi stepped on the door panel and fell to the ground. He saw the bodies of four court lieutenants hanging on the tree. With his experience, he could tell at a glance that the person was hung up after his death.
Not far away, Xue Zaan lay face down on the ground, looking so desolate.
Ye Liuyun entered the door and saw Han Huanzhi's shoulders trembling slightly.
After many years, I haven't seen Han Huanzhi so angry and so sad for many years.
Xue Xuan was the one who had just been transferred from Chang'an Mansion. On the day he entered Tingwei Mansion, he smiled like a child. Han Huanzhi clearly remembered the smile and eyes on Xue Xuan's face that day, as if he had returned to more than 20 years ago. A young man with ambition and dreams finally walked to where he wanted to go, and finally could show his ambitions, and his smile was as pure as when he was young.
"Mr. Han, how great would it be if you had transferred me to Tingwei Mansion? You are in your forties now and are not as good as before. When I was young, I was not as good as I am now. Look at my belly... I have been in Chang'an Mansion over the years. I have drunk too much wine, eaten too much meat, and practiced less. People are slow. But don't worry, I can make my belly disappear in half a month, and I am sure that it is more energetic than a young man in his twenties."
These words still echoed in Han Huanzhi's mind.
"I once dreamed of eliminating evil. Back then, I put on the official uniform of the Chang'an Mansion constable and felt that what I was holding was fairness and justice. An old constable told me that arresting people is not the purpose, arresting people is just a process. He said that he was old and could not see the day when the world was innocent, and said that I might not see either, but there should be such a day in the future."
"I told the old detective that it is impossible to have a day without guilt in human beings. As long as people are still human beings, it is impossible, so people like us will always be needed."
Han Huanzhi looked at the corpse lying on the ground, as if she saw Xue Qian, who was wearing the official uniform of the Thousand Office Assistant Office, on the first day, with a look of pride: "I think I'm much more handsome than young people wearing this outfit."
Han Huanzhi walked towards Xue Qian's body step by step, and Ye Liuyun stopped him: "I'll come and see."
Han Huanzhi paused for a moment and nodded.
Ye Liuyun walked to Xue Qian's body, looked at the lying position of the body, took a step back, looked back at Han Huanzhi and nodded slightly, and Han Huanzhi's face immediately became even more ugly.
Ye Liuyun pulled out a scarf from his cuff to cover his mouth and nose. He looked at a shoulder pole in the distance. He went over and took it over, poled it under Xue Zai's body with it, and then turned Xue Zai over with force.
With a bang!
A stream of white powder exploded from under Xue Qian's body, and Ye Liuyun quickly retreated.
Meng Changan beside him bent down and picked up the door panel that had just fallen to the ground. He grabbed the door panel with both hands and slapped it back and forth a few times, and the powder was blown away in the distance.
He threw the door panel aside, tear off a piece of clothing to cover his mouth and nose and approached the body: "It's a little more stern."
Ye Liuyun nodded, suddenly found something, squatted down and looked at it: "What is this?"
After Xue Xuan's body was turned over, he could see that his body was covered with blood. After being stained with soil and powder, he looked very dirty. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't find any subtle things wrong. There was a piece of blood that looked like a crooked word.
"The information left to us?"
Meng Changan squatted down and looked at it: "He may not have died after suffering a heavy blow, but he knew that he could not escape, so he pretended to be dead and wanted to deceive those people, but he did not expect that those people would press poison under him before leaving, and he could no longer move, so he tried his best to write something on his clothes."
Xue Xuan's right hand was trampled on, and his left hand was stained with blood and wrote on his clothes. He was afraid of being discovered. Even if the people might have left when he was writing, he chose to press his left hand under him to write, but he died after only one word. The words were written too sloppy and distorted, and it was very difficult to identify.
"head?"
Ye Liuyun looked at Han Huanzhi in confusion. He was worried that Han Huanzhi was in a state of unstable state, so he came to check it. At this time, Han Huanzhi had already squatted down and looked at the word. Seeing Ye Liuyun looking at him, he nodded: "It looks like a first character."
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Liuyun frowned: "There is no one with the first character in Chang'an City."
"Where are the yamen?"
Meng Changan asked.
Han Huanzhi's eyes suddenly widened: "First Supervisor?"
Now the chief minister of the cabinet is Toshiba Yuan, and he is also a veteran of the three dynasties. He has worked under Mu Zhaotong for many years, but he is not a member of Mu Zhaotong. He has been suppressed by Mu Zhaotong for so many years, and this person is about to retreat. At most, in three years, Lai Cheng will take over the right of the chief minister of the cabinet.
Your Majesty trusts Yuan Toshiba very much. Could it be that he is the person who hides the deepest?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Han Huanzhi's mind. His brain started to run at high speed, carefully recalling everything related to Yuan Toshiba. However, no matter how you think and speculate, Yuan Toshiba seemed to be unable to have anything to do with the queen. However, the prince had been studying in the cabinet for a long time. One of the two people who had the most contact with the prince was Lai Cheng, and the other was the prime minister.
What if the prince pulled Yuan Toshiba over in this short period of time?
Han Huanzhi shook her head, it was even more impossible. The prince did not have the ability to let someone like Toshiba lean over.
He looked at Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun also shook his head: "It's impossible that he is Lord Yuan."
"What does this initial mean?"
Han Huanzhi frowned.
Ye Liuyun pulled him: "Take the body back first, let's see if those people left when they left."
Han Huanzhi nodded, and the three of them searched carefully in the yard. They found an iron buckle on their military uniform in the grass under the tree. It was very small. Han Huanzhi picked up the thing and handed it to Meng Chang'an. Meng Chang'an was more familiar with the matter in the army.
Meng Changan took the iron buckle and looked at it: "This is not something on the clothes of the Daning soldiers... it is from Bohai people, and the words on the iron buckle are from Bohai Kingdom."
Han Huanzhi and Ye Liuyun looked at each other.
Meng Changan continued: "But the murderer will definitely not be from Bohai."
Han Huanzhi nodded: "They won't kill people in military uniforms."
