Volume 1: Storm in the Western Region Chapter 123: Spider Silk
"Wei Xingshu."
With his Jueying Technique, which he has already practiced to its peak, it is not difficult to do this. It also explains why these people looked calm when they died.
As the only person who had contact with Wei Xingshu twenty years later, Zhao Rang carefully examined the wounds on these corpses.
"Did you see anything?"
Yuan Mingkong asked.
Although he knew about Wei Xingshu, he didn't know much about him. After all, the records about him were discontinued twenty years ago. With just a few words in the file, no one could piece together a specific and complete image.
Zhao Rang checked three corpses in a row before replying:
"That Chinese character face... no, Wei Xingshu, is there any record of his habit of using weapons in the file you read?"
Yuan Ming thought for a while, then shook his head, but he analyzed:
"Wei Xingshu will definitely not use a weapon that is too long."
Zhao Rang asked:
"Why?"
Yuan Ming spread his hands and said:
"This is easy to understand!"
"If you create a weird movement technique like the Jue Ying Technique, and you can approach the opponent silently, then it will definitely be inconvenient to use a long sword."
Zhao Rang took over and said:
"So he used a dagger!"
Yuan Mingkong's pupils shrank, as if an old memory was brought back.
"When you say that, I'm a little impressed. It seems like he only uses daggers, or two!"
Zhao Rang smiled softly and said:
"Two daggers with different widths and lengths, and one has a blood groove on it, while the other does not. The one with a blood groove is for myself, and the other is for killing people."
Zhao Rang finished speaking in one breath.
"Did you see it from the wound?"
Yuan Mingkong asked in disbelief.
After thinking about it for so long, he still didn't know that Zhao Rang actually had the talent to be a detective!
The investigation department's shadow guards' control of details is almost perfect.
When Yuan Mingkong first joined the Shadow Guard, he studied for three months. What he learned was not the skills, but how to deal with the traces left when doing things, and how to make inferences based on the traces left by the opponent.
.
This is an extremely complex subject that requires mastering a lot of knowledge as a basis before you are qualified to get started.
Yuan Mingkong was considered to be extremely talented. Three months later, he emerged as the number one. Only then did the Investigation Department change its attitude towards him. Regardless of his status as a prince, his own abilities were enough to convince everyone.
When Zhao Rang was investigating just now, Yuan Mingkong was also idle. But except for the approximate time when these people died and the possible murderer, he didn't know anything else.
"No, I have seen these two daggers!"
Zhao Rang said matter-of-factly.
Yuan Mingkong let out a long "Oh"... So that's it. Otherwise, he would really feel that his brother was so wise and almost a monster!
"Wei Xingshu showed me everything he carried. There were daggers, hidden weapons, secret medicine, as well as crossbows and crossbow arrows. What a meticulous person!"
Zhao Rang clicked his tongue in surprise.
When he saw this before, he was not touched at all. Now combined with the corpses in the room, Zhao Rang gradually realized how terrifying this man was.
He worked out almost every possible scenario.
Hidden weapons are used to clear out the perimeter guards, and daggers are used to kill people in the room. The secret medicine can let him know what he wants to know. The crossbow and crossbow arrows can not only surprise him, but also create distance for him and solve the pursuers behind him.
soldiers.
"You see, everyone died from the fatal wound on the throat. This width just matched one of his daggers. And the angle and speed of the stab were very delicately controlled."
Yuan Mingkong nodded, agreeing with Zhao Rang's statement.
However, although the murderer was identified, it still did not help the situation.
A killer who can kill so many people silently has been gone for more than half a month. Unless he really has extraordinary abilities, who can find him?
Not to mention that the royal city of Shanye Kingdom is spacious, and this time is enough for him to leave the city and escape to the grassland next door. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he may never think about the possibility of finding him again in this life.
When the two of them were at a loss what to do, Haidiya had already looked at the house from top to bottom and was walking down the stairs with a gloomy look on his face.
"The princess is missing!"
"Princess?"
Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong both felt that Wei Xingshu's target must be Princess Amani of Lan Mo Kingdom. Her body would definitely be found upstairs, but Haidiya's words undoubtedly made the killing more profound.
.
"Except for the princess, everyone's bodies are here. The guards, maids, and men are all here."
Zhao Rang asked:
"The only thing missing is the princess?"
Khadiya replied:
"The only thing missing is the princess."
Zhao Rang's expression suddenly became relaxed.
Yuan Mingkong vaguely thought of the reason, but Haidiya didn't know the reason.
"What do you think it means that the corpses are all there, but the princess is missing?"
Haidiya blurted out:
"It means the princess is not dead!"
"No! It means the princess is useful to him. You were not here when I was talking about the killer's preparations. He has three bottles of secret medicine that can make people who don't want to speak speak. Those who speak more will speak the truth, and those who speak more will tell the truth."
"So this Princess Amani must know what she is interested in."
Heidiye understood completely now.
"In other words, he kidnapped the princess in order to use secret medicine to extract a confession?"
Zhao Rang replied:
"That's what it means."
"But doesn't he know some kind of shadow magic? There is no need to kill anyone!"
Haidiya felt very sad about the deaths of the four girls around him...
Each of these four girls has their own specialties, including martial arts, medicine, and wine-making. They have all followed him for a long time. Even if it is an object, it should have feelings if it is carried around every day, right? Not to mention
They are said to be four beautiful and young girls.
"Sir Swordsman, do you know the difference between a master and a mediocre swordsman?"
Haidiya shook his head to express his ignorance.
"Experts do things neatly and neatly, and any uncertain factors must be completely eliminated."
"He wanted to take away the princess, which was not impossible given his ability. But with so many people in the room, there were too many uncertainties, so he chose the method that seemed the stupidest and most labor-intensive, but was actually the safest.
."
Haidiya didn't react at all, although he knew what Zhao Rang said was right.
He is not a good person, but he certainly knows that the most important thing in doing something is not doing it well, but doing it safely.
The so-called prudent means that when you fail to do something, you will not be implicated or harmed in any way.
As long as you have stability, you will be in an invincible position.
Being able to take away dozens of lives among his green-shirted guests without being noticed, he naturally knew the importance of safety, so he did it in the safest way.
"I have to contact Aziz."
After a long silence, Haidiya spoke.
"Aqiz is still in his Chunhua Building?"
Khadiya replied:
"But we have to wait two hours until daylight comes."
Neither Zhao Rang nor Yuan Mingkong could understand.
A huge event has already happened here, why do we have to wait another two hours? Is it because Heidiye is too calm, or is the death of the four girls such a shock to him that he can't even think about it?
Already?
"Aqizi will not come out of his house before daylight every day. When he comes out, others can't get in, and they can't even go up to that floor. The entire top floor of Chunhua Building, at sunset,
After that, it’s an absolute restricted area, and even I can’t do anything about it.”
Zhao Rang remembered that there was a story in the history books about a powerful minister who held the emperor hostage to make the princes have a good sleep and killed someone in his sleep, in order to deter Xiao Xiao who was planning evil. But Aziz did something even better than this powerful minister, and simply decorated the entire floor.
Seal it up and completely cut off all contact with the outside world. Zhao Rang saw that Aziz was a person who was very good at protecting himself, but he didn't expect that Aziz's protection of him would reach such an almost perverted level!
"Two hours... I guess Wei Xingshu already knows what he wants to know. By then, it will be hard to say whether the princess is alive or dead."
Yuan Mingkong said coldly.
He didn't want to waste a moment.
Since he knew that Wei Xingshu was not dead, finding Wei Xingshu became a more important thing than going to Jinyinhai to organize the ruined sect to produce Tongtian Pills on a large scale.
The Investigation Department has been out of business in the Western Region for twenty years.
During this period, everything about the Western Regions was blank.
If Wei Xingshu still aspires to great power, then he can single-handedly fill the blank twenty years, and the significance behind it is immeasurable.
Whether it's towards Dawei or himself.
Heidi also knew that if she delayed for a moment longer, Princess Amani would be in more danger. But he was really helpless now, even if he could contact Aziz immediately.
One person doesn't know what to do, and two people are just staring at each other.
Sometimes there is not necessarily greater strength with more people. If many people gather together, they may become a mob. It is better to think about it quietly.
"Where did the princess come from? I remember in Chunhua Tower, you said she went to meet a stranger from the Western Region first?"
Zhao Rangzai carefully sorted out the causes and consequences of this incident, and finally found a point that could still connect him with Princess Amani.
"That's right! Before the princess came to Qingshan Guest, she was indeed with that stranger."
"Do you know where the stranger is?"
Zhao Rang asked next.
Haidiya looked troubled:
"I knew it before, but now...I don't know."
Zhao Rang asked:
"What's the meaning?"
Khadiya replied:
"After the princess entered the royal city, she sent a message to Haidiya and I, saying to go directly to see the stranger and ask us to take you two with us. At that time, the stranger was deep in the dark street.
But where he is now, no one knows."
Zhao Rang asked in disbelief:
"Then how to contact him? Amani came from Lanmo Country, why would he know that the stranger is deep in the underworld?"
Haidiya said:
"Need a middleman."
After a pause, he said again:
"The middleman is not fixed either. Anyway, every time I really want to see him, the middleman will show up and lead the way."
