Chapter 141 Solve the case of ghosts and gods and find food
Just when they thought they had a chance to win, Qin Wenyuan had already left Chang'an City with his wife, Xu Gou, and Lin Wuyun, the only survivor at the time.
This time they came out with only one mission, which was to find the millions of loads of food that had been stolen by the "Ghost Overlord".
Two hours later, they arrived at the crime scene.
Led by Lin Wuyun, the four of them arrived at the place where they encountered ghosts and gods.
Qin Wenyuan walked into the camp where he was stationed. At this time, the place seemed very chaotic, and the tents were in a mess.
Because it had rained recently, the ground looked very muddy after being trampled on.
From the entire scene, it can be seen that something very chaotic must have happened here recently.
At this moment.
Lin Wuyun walked with Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master Qin, we have more than a thousand soldiers escorting the military pay."
"They are all elites of the Tang Dynasty, and in the recent battle of the Headless Man, as you know, except for me, no one survived. They were all killed by the ghost overlord and his men."
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan nodded and asked: "The deaths of your comrades were all caused by the headless man and his soldiers?"
"Probably...probably?" Lin Wuyun became a little unsure.
Originally, he considered the death toll in this case to be a headless massacre, after all, he saw it with his own eyes.
However, since Qin Wenyuan said that there were never ghosts and gods in the world, he became unsure again.
Don't know what is true and what is false.
"should??"
Qin Wenyuan paused, looked at Lin Wuyun next to him, and then said: "Captain Lin, I forgot to tell you."
"When we at Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty are handling cases, what we are most afraid of is the should and the possibility. This is a great interference to the case and is likely to directly affect the direction of our investigation. The same is true for me."
"So, just say what you know. You must not use words like "should" and "could".
"Not to mention, the entire city of Chang'an is now waiting for millions of tons of food after we solve the case."
Qin Wenyuan talked eloquently, although he said he still didn't know the general situation of the case.
However, the detective's confidence and attention to details still made Qin Wenyuan believe in his judgment and knew that he would be able to solve the case.
The voice fell,
Lin Wuyun was silent for a moment, and then said: "Master Qin, this... I really don't know this."
Lin Wuyun said: "That night, when I woke up, the battle was already at its final moment, and all the soldiers were dead."
"And all I can see is that the headless man stoned the last waking soldier to death, and then led many of his headless men to kill our sleeping soldiers one by one."
"I didn't find any traces of anyone else nearby, and their wounds were basically injuries from halberds or smashes. That's why I said they were all injured by the headless man who claimed to be the Overlord.
.”
The voice fell.
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
At this time, Lin Wuyun seemed to have thought of something and continued: "Moreover, Mr. Qin, it rained heavily that night, and there was thunder. The sound was very loud, almost covering the sound of the headless men fighting, so I waited until the battle
At the end, I realized that something like this had happened.”
"I was a little more vigilant. I woke up earlier. I knew I was outmatched, so I hid."
"Other comrades, they... they didn't even have time to wake up, their necks were wiped directly in their sleep, and they didn't even know how they died."
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed the jade pendant around his waist with his fingers, without saying anything else.
Changle noticed Qin Wenyuan's little move from the side,
She immediately knew that her husband must be suspecting something or discovering something.
But Qin Wenyuan didn't say anything, and no one could do anything, because Changle didn't dare to disturb his serious husband, and could only itch like a cat scratching his heart.
then,
Qin Wenyuan and Lin Wuyun went to see the location of the camp where they rested, and also the location where military pay was stored.
Lin Wuyun pointed to the location of the mountain and said: "That batch of grain and wages was piled here at that time. Millions of tons of grain and wages were piled together. The area was extremely large. From a distance, it looked like a hill."
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan nodded and walked over.
When I lowered my head and looked down, I saw that the ground here had indeed been pressed down a bit. It could be seen that it had carried some heavy things when it rained.
And there are some rut marks here.
Qin Wenyuan looked at it for a while and asked: "Captain Lin, when you came back last night, did you take someone to check the direction of the rut mark?"
The voice fell.
Lin Wuyun pointed to the hillside in the distance, nodded and replied: "Master Qin, look, this incident has such a profound impact. As soon as I came back last night, the people of Dali Temple took me to investigate."
"According to the information we learned last night, the rut marks lead there. Mr. Qin, you can go over and take a look."
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan and others quickly followed the rut marks and walked over.
When we reached the top of the hillside, we saw dozens of empty carriages stacked here and there.
The horses in the carriage were unbridled and ran everywhere.
And nearby, there was nothing but stones.
"It seems...it seems a little strange."
Qin Wenyuan said softly.
Changle also nodded at this time, "Husband, it's really strange here. The rut marks stopped here..."
"It means that someone unloaded food and wages here, but there are not many people's footprints nearby."
"In the distance, there are no human footprints except horse footprints."
"So, how did those people disappear out of thin air? How did they transport so much food and wages? Why did they abandon the carriage here?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chang Le frowned.
Here, everything is really weird.
Millions of dans of grain are too heavy to be transported by horse-drawn carriages, so this is even more bizarre.
Even Qin Wenyuan felt that the ghost theory was becoming more and more suitable for this case.
Here,
This is simply a large-scale haunted scene!!!
However, the more this happens,
The more Qin Wenyuan felt that this matter was caused by one of the Big Dipper stars, one of them was pretending to be a ghost, and there were only two possibilities for why he did this.
Either they use the legend of ghosts to achieve their own goals, and put all the blame on the ghosts.
Or, that is to use these things to divert other people's attention, thereby hiding one's true actions and purposes.
One day after the food robbery case occurred, Qin Wenyuan believed that the person behind all this could never escape these two possibilities.
And now, the results have come out, they want both possibilities!
At first, the blame was put on the ghosts, which made people feel frightened and thought that the sky was sending punishment.
Now, the locust plague is about to attack, plunging the Tang Dynasty into civil strife. The result of all this is that the people think that Li Shimin's taking office violated heaven's punishment and made him lose the support of the people.
Everything is calculated clearly, it is indeed the Big Dipper!
"Um??"
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan's brows suddenly moved.
He knelt down and began to examine the rut marks carefully.
He was walking in a hurry just now and didn't check carefully. Now he looked back at the footprints he and others had walked along the way, and then looked at the rut marks and suddenly his eyes flashed.
"That's it. No wonder it's so mysterious. That's it."
The corners of Qin Wenyuan's mouth suddenly turned up.
Changle had been secretly watching her husband. At this moment, when he saw Qin Wenyuan smiling for the first time, he quickly said in surprise: "Husband, you... have you cracked some secret??"
Her voice was a little excited. Unexpectedly, Changle thought that Qin Wenyuan had found the truth.
Qin Wenyuan smiled softly and nodded.
But he didn't say what was cracked.
Now, he only understands some small tricks and the real methods of the people behind the scenes. He has not yet understood.
Qin Wenyuan didn't say anything, but Changle was so curious that he didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, this is something that should be done to give face to the man outside, so Changle thinks that he still has to do it.
Afterwards, several people did not continue to check the rut marks, but returned to the camp.
Just after arriving at the camp, Qin Wenyuan suddenly asked: "Captain Lin, you said you saw the headless man lift a very large stone and hit a person to death. That made you sure that he was Xiang Yu's, right?"
Lin Wuyun nodded and replied: "Besides Xiang Yu, the overlord, who else can do it?"
"This kind of feat cannot be accomplished by any of the masters of our Datang Qiongji. It is only exclusive to Overlord!!"
"So, where is that stone?" Qin Wenyuan asked again.
Lin Wuyun quickly walked over with Qin Wenyuan, pointed to a big stone as tall as a person and said: "Master Qin, that's it!!"
Looking at the stone, Qin Wenyuan didn't see anything special about it.
He immediately gave Xu Gou a wink, and Xu Gou walked over directly, hugged the big stone, and lifted it with all his strength in an instant.
His face instantly turned red, and his teeth were almost broken, and then... he lay down.
next moment,
He climbed up, shook his head and said, "Master, Captain Lin is right. This big stone is too heavy. I can't even move at all when I lift it."
"Even if there are ten of me, I can't carry it!"
Qin Wenyuan also saw it in his eyes.
He thought for a while and asked: "You are well-informed, do you know who else in the world can do such a thing?"
"Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu!!! Only he can do it!" Several people replied in unison.
Qin Wenyuan shut his mouth and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
He circled the big stone several times, and then tapped the stone lightly.
Not to mention, this stone is really strong.
When I took my hand back, I found some water stains on my hand.
"water?"
Qin Wenyuan frowned slightly. He turned his head and glanced at the stones elsewhere, and saw that the water stains on those stones had already dried up due to the sun's rays.
"Could it be...could it be said that..."
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered for a moment, then he called Xu Gou and whispered something in Xu Gou's ear,
Xu Gou nodded quickly, and climbed to the top of the stone.
Not knowing what he did, the dog jumped down quickly again.
He walked up to Qin Wenyuan, lowered his voice and said, "Master, it's just as you expected..."
Listen to Xu Gou's detailed explanation...
Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his smile deepened.
That’s it, that’s it!!
He finally understood what the so-called Overlord of Western Chu was up to.
"Madam, I have completely assembled the puzzle pieces for my husband."
Suddenly, Qin Wenyuan said this.
Changle was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and said excitedly: "Husband, then... where is the food?"
Qin Wenyuan chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, let's wait until our army comes over."
"Xugou, please go and light the smoke and let General Cheng and others go out."
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Gou ran over quickly, leaving Chang Le alone with a speechless face.
She found that her husband really deserved a beating. Now that he knew the truth, why did he continue to whet her appetite? He was really drunk.
It's okay if you don't tell me, but you still say that you know it, but you just won't tell me!
Changle was very angry.
Soon, half an hour later.
A group of troops with as many as five thousand soldiers and horses slowly left Chang'an City. Cheng Yaojin took his lieutenants, one step faster than the soldiers, and left Chang'an at high speed, and the group headed towards Cuihua Mountain.
By the time we arrived at the foot of Cuihua Mountain, it was already dusk, and an hour had passed since the aftermath of the families' frantic rush to buy food.
But here, torches have been lit for a long time, making the place as bright as daytime.
As soon as Cheng Yaojin arrived here, he quickly dismounted and led his lieutenants to the chaotic camp that remained as it was.
"Master Qin, I, Old Cheng, heard that you solved the case of ghosts and gods robbing food?"
Before anyone arrived, Cheng Yaojin's iconic loud voice came over.
Very excited, excited and eager.
Qin Wenyuan in the camp looked at the big shot behind him and said with a smile: "Not bad."
"Hahaha!!!"
Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing immediately, hugged Qin Wenyuan tightly with his big hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I really have you. I, old Cheng, really didn't save the wrong person at that time."
"Master Qin, tell me quickly, where is the food? My five thousand soldiers will arrive here later and then transport the food back."
Cheng Yaojin's bear hug made Qin Wenyuan feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't refuse. After all, Cheng Yaojin was his benefactor.
