After a while, the two guards who went in came back.
"Master, when we entered, we saw candles burning inside. We took a look and it should be Zheng Shounian."
"Master, do you want to capture this person immediately?"
"Sure enough, it's here!" The fifth prince was about to let people capture Zheng Shounian, but was stopped by Su Yizhao.
"What is he doing?" Su Yizhao suddenly asked.
The guard was a little confused, "He's sleeping."
"Why do you light a light when you sleep?" Su Yizhao immediately noticed something was wrong, and then suddenly felt bad.
"No! Go and see if anyone is still there!"
The two guards immediately returned the same way, but Su Yizhao frowned.
An Tao behind him whimpered twice. Su Yizhao looked back and found that her eyes were full of worry.
"Servant, please stay here and keep an eye on An Tao."
Su Yizhao said as he pulled up the fifth prince and got off the carriage.
"Kick the door!" Su Yizhao came to the courtyard gate and shouted directly.
The fifth prince kicked the door open without saying a word and went in. After entering, he closed the door behind his back and the two of them went straight to the bedroom where the candle was lit.
"Master, it's bad, I'm gone." A guard came forward to report.
"What's going on? Where did the person go?" the fifth prince asked with a frown.
"The one who was there just now has disappeared now. Li Dong was also found unconscious in the house." The guard felt that things were really strange.
Li Dong is another guard. When the two came back just now to report, Li Dong was left to guard them.
"Immediately send someone to chase him and see if there are any traces along the way. Pay attention to wheel marks and horse footprints."
Su Yizhao sighed, they had really jumped the gun.
One of the guards immediately jumped over the wall, preparing to follow him.
Su Yizhao and the fifth prince rushed to the bedroom in a hurry. As soon as they entered, they saw the guard Li Dong lying on the ground unconscious.
"See if he's okay!" Su Yizhao ordered another guard.
The guard Wu Huo glanced at the fifth prince, but saw that the fifth prince did not look at him, so he helped Li Dong aside and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
Su Yizhao first glanced at the bed. The quilt was lifted, and she stepped forward to touch it, which still had a little residual warmth.
It should be because I was lying on the bed before and left in a hurry.
He glanced around the room and found that the layout was very simple. Apart from the bed, there was only a set of tables, chairs and a library shelf.
The library shelf was empty, there was nothing.
Su Yizhao shook the Bogu frame and it was able to move without any abnormality.
After walking around the house, everything seemed normal.
Suddenly, she smelled a strange smell. Su Yizhao turned around and lifted the quilt, and a shocking blood stain appeared in front of her.
The fifth prince stepped forward and took a look. What didn't he understand?
"Zheng Shounian was killed!" But there was one thing he couldn't understand. "Those people killed him, but why did they take his body away? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Su Yizhao turned to look at the guard Wu Huo, "When you saw Zheng Shounian, was there nothing unusual about him?"
"He was lying on the bed and found nothing unusual." Wu Huo recalled carefully.
"That is to say, the person died not long ago, maybe just before we came. Someone must have been hiding in the house at that time. When they found Li Dong and the others, they stood still."
Su Yizhao analyzed, "Zheng Shounian was probably killed in bed. After they finished killing, Li Dong and others came, so the perpetrators disguised Zheng Shounian as if he was asleep."
The fifth prince nodded in agreement, "In other words, they waited until Li Dong was alone, stunned Li Dong, and took the opportunity to take away Zheng Shounian's body?"
Su Yizhao nodded, then walked behind the bed, looking for something.
At this time, Li Dong finally woke up. As soon as he woke up, he said that he had been knocked out.
The fifth prince followed Su Yizhao to the window, and Su Yizhao finally found a drop of blood on the edge of the window.
I wiped it with a handkerchief and found it was still fresh and not solidified.
"It seems that someone has taken him away, but why did they take him away? Isn't it unnecessary to run away with a dead person? It will also increase the difficulty." The fifth prince was puzzled.
The fifth prince immediately ordered Wu Huo to jump out of the window and chase him. Since there was blood here, there must be blood along the way.
"It's just two things. First, I'm afraid that people will recognize the traces of the murder weapon on the corpse; second, the corpse has other uses." Su Yizhao said thoughtfully.
"Then what do you think it is?" The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, Su Yizhao's thoughts were very delicate.
"First point, Zheng Shounian is just a deputy envoy, he doesn't even have a rank. Even if he wants to frame the case, he is not qualified at all. What's more, we have already discovered it, and the plan will not work."
Su Yizhao checked it again. Except for a drop of blood on the edge of the window, there were no other traces.
Returning to the bed again, Su Yizhao carefully observed the blood stains on the bed.
The fifth prince was thinking about some special weapon. Since he was afraid of people recognizing his wounds, the weapon he held must be very eye-catching.
Su Yizhao turned the quilt over and found a hole in it, which penetrated to the bottom.
The holes change from large to small and are shaped like squares.
"You should know something about weapons. What shape is this? I think it looks like a square?"
Su Yizhao opened the quilt as he spoke, and there were spray-like blood stains underneath.
"It's a triangular pyramid!" The fifth prince thought of a weapon and suddenly his face became serious.
"There are very few people in our Dayun Dynasty who use this kind of weapon. They use it outside the customs. This kind of weapon is very sharp. Once it is stabbed, it is basically impossible to survive because the stab is too deep and the bleeding cannot be stopped."
"In other words, the person who killed Zheng Shounian was probably someone from outside the customs?" Su Yizhao pondered, "But Zheng Shounian worked for the people behind the scenes and was a capable officer escorting fake armaments. How could people outside the customs kill him? Unless he was the people behind the scenes.
Collude with outsiders."
"Remember carefully, does anyone in the court use this kind of weapon?" Su Yizhao asked again.
The fifth prince shook his head, "Most of the warriors in this dynasty use long swords, spears and bows. I can't think of anyone who would use such weapons."
Su Yizhao sighed, "Next is Di Songlin. I hope he can hold on! Master Kang has already sent someone to keep an eye on him."
"It's better to interrogate An Tao. Maybe she will have clues."
As the fifth prince said this, he asked Li Dong to go back and find someone to search the house inside and out to see if there were any other gains.
"Zheng Shounian may have known for a long time that someone was going to kill him, so how would he respond? An Tao is the person he wants to take away. Maybe An Tao knows something. Even if Zheng Shounian is dead, she can't keep the secret.
."
Su Yizhao and the fifth prince returned to the carriage again, but when they were about to reach the courtyard gate, they heard the sound of fighting coming from outside.
Su Yizhao immediately shouted to the fifth prince: "Go and help!"
However, the fifth prince had already drawn his sword and quickly swept towards the outside of the courtyard.
