Volume Three: The Case of Hundred Ghosts at Night Chapter Ninety-Six: Evidence
"Oh, my brother!" At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the crowd, it was Tuoba Kang, the ambassador of the Dachu Mission!
"I don't understand! He wanted to kill someone, why did he kill my brother?" Tuoba Kang shouted: "When we came to your country, we stayed in the inn and did not go out..."
"My brother, you did not go out, but your brother Duguyuan did not." Duan Ming said with a smile: "I was also very confused at first, what was the purpose of killing Duguyuan? Could it be to provoke Da Qi?
Conflict with Dachu?"
"Later I thought about it carefully, when did Duguyuan die?"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my brother's death?" Tuoba Kang asked doubtfully.
"Of course there is a problem!" Duan Ming nodded: "Just before Dugu Yuan died, Marquis Chu came to us the day before and expressed that he was not afraid of war."
"Then the next day, Dugu Yuan slept in the inn for almost the entire day. Don't you feel weird?"
"I didn't understand." Tuoba Kang scratched his head and said in a deep voice.
"Duguyuan was involved in this incident, but Duguyuan himself may not have thought of the true purpose of this incident." Duan Ming said: "After Chuhou came to us, Duguyuan learned the news. Duguyuan did not want Daqi.
There is a real war with Dachu, so I plan to come to the Mirror Division to tell us the truth."
"However, the opponent was still one step ahead and deployed a killer in advance to kill Dugu Yuan."
"But, what did my brother do?" Tuoba Kang scratched his head: "Why did you kill him? What did he know?"
"It's very simple, the secret of the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts!" Duan Ming said solemnly: "The thing disguised as the Hundred Ghosts is not that easy to make. Ordinary cloth workshops cannot make it at all. Even if it is made, it cannot be made in a formal way.
Transport it outside Linyang City."
"In this case, there must be someone responsible for the production and transportation. Da Chu's delegation just arrived here, and within a few days the Hundred Ghost Night Attack happened. Who do you think it could be?"
"You mean, us?" Tuoba Kang scratched his head: "Indeed, we did bring a lot of things when we came to see the Emperor of Qi this time."
"Yes." Duan Ming nodded: "Of course, this is just my guess. If it is true, you can send someone to check whether your goods are damaged or lost."
"Okay!" Tuoba Kang nodded.
"Duguyuan had just died, and I discovered this problem when I went to investigate, and even discovered the so-called flying female ghost." Duan Ming said: "But the female ghost did not hurt me, nor did she stay any longer.
So I guessed that the female ghost’s purpose was not to come to me.”
"The person behind it was probably secretly transporting the 'female ghost', but I happened to find him in front of Duguyuan's house."
"But why is the female ghost in your inn? Later I thought of this. But I can't go to you to verify it, I can only rely on you yourself."
"Don't worry, I will hit it with even a needle!" Tuoba Kang patted his chest.
"Oh, by the way." Duan Ming said suddenly: "Where is Duguyuan's servant?"
"Here!" Xu Shizhong walked out of the crowd, holding the servant in his hand.
"I have to say." Duan Ming looked at the servant and said with a smile: "Your acting skills are indeed amazing."
"I, I don't understand what you mean." The servant looked at Duan Ming tremblingly, and then looked at Tuoba Kang: "Ambassador, you have to save me."
"No one can save you." Duan Ming interrupted: "I found a needle hole behind Dugu Yuan's neck. It penetrated very deep into the flesh. The skin around the needle hole turned blue. It should have been caused by someone inserting a needle.
.”
"What you said about a female ghost falling from the sky is true, but it is impossible for a female ghost to pierce the needle so deeply into Duguyuan's neck."
"Even if it can, then its power is enough to kill Duguyuan directly without anesthesia first."
"And it's not normal for Duguyuan to be comatose for a whole day. Only you who are in control of Duguyuan's daily life can administer the medicine without anyone noticing."
"Besides, since Dugu Yuan walked out of the back door, it proves that he doesn't want others to know his whereabouts. In this case, wouldn't it be more concealed for him to act alone? Why did he bring you a servant?"
"As long as these are connected for a moment, the results will emerge."
"That day, it was not Duguyuan who took you, but you quietly followed him and attacked the back of his neck with a steel needle coated with a powerful anesthetic, which caused Duguyuan to lose his ability to resist.
"
"Then you cut off Duguyuan's head with a special tool and handed it to your companions waiting outside the door before you screamed."
"No, no, you are talking nonsense!" the servant shouted with a pale face: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"No, you know." Duan Ming shook his head: "During this period, I have been keeping an eye on the inn where you are staying, but I didn't notice that you smuggled the female ghost out."
"In other words, the female ghost must still be in the inn. And if I guessed correctly, in order to avoid our search, you placed the female ghost outside Duguyuan's window. Later, you learned that I went to Duguyuan's room.
After searching, he activated the mechanism and hid the female ghost on the roof."
"And after we leave, you must have taken the female ghost down from the roof. As for the place to hide next, I guess there is no better place than Duguyuan's room."
"Why do you think he is hiding on the roof?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming doubtfully.
"The reason is very simple." Duan Ming said: "That day I opened the window and looked up. I saw no trace of the female ghost, and I didn't hear the sound of closing the window, so I guessed that the female ghost must have been hidden in the room.
top."
"But even if I went to the roof and found the female ghost, I couldn't correct anyone, especially you."
"After all, you were being interrogated by the criminal commander at the time, so it seems that the possibility is the lowest."
"Therefore, I did not alert the enemy at that time. I just waited quietly until today."
"Since you have already thought of this." The servant suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Ming: "Then why are you still being arrested? Why don't you just send people to arrest me and him?"
"There is no way. Like I said, I lack evidence." Duan Ming sighed: "As for the Hundred Ghosts at Night case, if there is no evidence and it is all based on speculation, it is impossible to bring you to justice."
"According to the perspective of criminal psychology, when I am considered a criminal by the Changsheng Cult and I am about to be punished, that is the time when you most relax your vigilance."
"If there is no accident, you will definitely come to the scene to see me!"
"And at the same time, you will definitely bring those things that you are proud of, such as the triazolam that is enough to make people unconscious and the steel wire that is enough to break a person's spine hidden in your sleeves!"
