Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 120 Concealment

Two naive old men beat each other for half an hour, from the table to the window, from the window to the door, one knocked the other to the ground, and the knocked one dragged the other to the ground On the ground, the two rolled into a ball.

"It looks like we grew up together since we were young. This movement is really skillful." Jin Jing lowered her voice and said to Shen Cha in the lowest volume, "It is estimated that these two old men will come out like this whenever they meet, and it has become their habit. It is." Seeing Yelu Zesheng covering Wanyan Zhanxiong's face with her big hand, and shaking his shoulder vigorously with the other hand, Jin Jing curled her lips, "Tsk tsk tsk, this picture...is really amazing. Can't, can't see!"

"It means that they have a very good relationship, just like Brother Xiaotian and Miaomiao. Don't look at Brother Xiaotian hurting Miaomiao all day long, and every time she is so angry that she throws her around. If something really happens to Miaomiao "Shen Cha carefully looked at the information provided by the two old men, and suddenly thought of a question, "You two, stop for a moment, my nephew wants to ask Old General Wanyan something."

"What's the matter?" It was Wanyan Zhanxiong's turn to strangle Yelu Zesheng's neck. Hearing Shen Cha's question, he let go of his hand, got up from the ground, and said while arranging his clothes, "You suddenly remembered something. ?”

"The postmen in the posthouse..." Shen Cha stood up from his chair, and looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong seriously, "But the old general recognized him?"

"I recognize it!" Wanyan Zhanxiong nodded affirmatively, "Occasionally, I will come to the post house for a walk, after all, this is also a place under my jurisdiction."

"Thank you!" Shen Cha turned to look at Yelu Zesheng, "Then, old general, do you know all those people in the territory of the Liao Kingdom? Do you know the soldiers who found the corpse?"

"I know it!" Yelu Zesheng also tidied up his clothes, and tied up the braids that had been pulled loose by Wanyan Zhanxiong one by one, "Wuma Town is an important town, and all the people sent by me are from the Yelu clan. The elite. In order to ensure that no one will replace them, I also specially checked their faces, and there is no trace of being disguised. On this point, nephew Xian can rest assured."

"Thank you!" Shen Cha nodded, looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong, and then at Yelu Zesheng, "If the two old generals fight well and settle your personal grievances, can we go and see the corpse first?"

"The corpse is in the underground ice cellar of the teahouse. In the whole Wuma Town, we moved the corpse here just because the teahouse needs to prepare ice all the year round." Wanyan Zhanxiong looked at Yelu Zesheng's clumsy braiding, and was really surprised. I couldn't see it anymore, so I walked over and removed the crooked whips he had made, and re-weaved them one by one. "Are you still going to see where the body was found?"

"Yes!" Seeing Yelu Zesheng obediently sitting on a chair and letting Wanyan Zhanxiong braid his hair, Shen Cha and Jin Jing coughed lightly at the same time, both a little embarrassed, "Who found the corpse?"

"The soldier who was on duty that day was called Qiu Yi. He said that when he got up at the fifth watch, he opened the door and found the body of the Jin Kingdom mission."

"Is he alone?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "If you are on duty at night, there should usually be more than two people. Did no one else see you?"

"Yes!" Yelu Zesheng nodded, "However, he was the first to discover it. That night, there were a total of eight people guarding there. They were in a shift of four, and shifts changed every hour and a half. He When they found the Jin Guo Mission, the soldiers on duty were all awake. They should wash up, change their clothes and go back to rest. Qiu Yi was the first to walk out of the house, and the people following him saw him standing motionless at the door. , looked stupid, pushed him, and after pushing him away, everyone was shocked when they saw so many dead bodies. It’s scary to collect the remains after a battle.”

"General, wait a minute, I have a question to ask. Old general, what you just said was sway, right?" Jin Jing grasped the key point of Yeluze's words very keenly, "Why do you use this word? Woolen cloth?"

"This is also what we want to know, why the corpse is in such a state." Wanyan Zhanxiong braided Yelu Zesheng's hair, walked in front of Shen Cha and Jin Jing, and said, "The first batch arrived and found the corpse. The people at the place felt very strange and creepy. The appearance of the corpse gave us the feeling that it was not man-made."

"It's not artificial?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other, "Can you explain in detail?"

"Come on, let me use the pen and paper, and I'll draw you a picture of what I saw that day." Wanyan Zhanxiong asked for Shen Cha's pen and paper, and drew a picture of the scene of the crime, "These fifty people Put into a shape like this, it's like a..."

"Triangle!" Shen Cha looked at the picture drawn by Wanyan Zhanxiong seriously, "The first person is Wanyan and Wen, right? The ones following him are his personal guards, and the rest are the entourage of the mission." .”

"That's right, that's what I saw!" Yelu Zesheng pointed at the picture drawn by Wanyan Zhanxiong, "Qiu Yi and the others were frightened at the time, besides being placed in this way, there is one more important thing, Each of them was wearing a white robe, lying on their backs in the snow, with no footprints around them. According to Qiu Yi and the others, these people have almost merged with the thick snow on the ground."

"No footprints..." Shen Cha rubbed his chin, "Where's the blood? Wasn't he killed with a knife? Are there any traces left in the snow?"

"No!" Wanyan Zhanxiong and Yelu Zesheng shook their heads at the same time, "This is also what puzzles us. We are all members of the army. After fighting for so many years, we all know that if we are killed by a knife, Impossible not to leave a trace."

"Also, they were wearing white clothes. We checked and they were clean. There were no signs of fighting or blood."

"That's why you two don't think so? But..." Shen Cha looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong, "Before you suspected that it was your king and his commander who planned to blame the Liao Kingdom. Different."

"All of this is speculation now. After all, Wanyan and Wen, Wanyan Zongcheng, and Wanyanping have a deep blood feud that cannot be resolved. Wanyan and Wen are dead. The first suspects are the two of them. I say so It is also reasonable. As for that it was not man-made, it was just a reaction when I saw the scene at that time. It is a human instinct and cannot be used as evidence. If you were there at the time, your reaction should be the same as ours. "

"So..." Shen Cha looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong, "The murderers you suspect are Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping, right?"

"Yes!" Wanyan Zhanxiong nodded, "I have no one else to doubt except them."

"Is there anyone in your country who doesn't like Wanyan Zongcheng, Wanyan Ping, or Wanyan and Wen?"

"I don't know about this, it probably doesn't exist." Wanyan Zhanxiong sighed, "As I said before, the nobles hate the father and daughter, but Wanyan and Wen are very popular, not everyone Everyone likes him, but there are really very few people who don't like him."

"So that's how it is! The two old generals should have already had a suspect's direction of suspicion in their minds, and now they are telling such a crucial part..." Jin Jing looked at Yan Zhanxiong, then at Yelu Ze Sheng said with a smile, "What is it for? Is it...to test us, or is there some other reason?"

"It's nothing, military advisor, don't worry!" Wanyan Zhanxiong waved his hand, "Today is too chaotic, and my thinking is still in a mess. So, I forgot something, and I ask you two nephews to help me Forgive me."

"I'm getting older, and I can't stand the scare when I was young. So, you two have to be more considerate. Besides, this is imminent. What else do we test you for? Solve the case sooner, catch the real culprit sooner, and go home sooner." Chinese New Year!" Yelu Zesheng sighed, "Besides, we also have a small thought, we think it's not good to say something like this from the two of us, you may think that we are colluding, we are I want to wait for you to investigate the scene, ask Qiu Yi, and let him tell you personally. After all, he was the first person to see that scene with his own eyes, right?"

Shen Cha and Jin Jing glanced at each other, which made sense, after all, they were not the first to see the scene, so what they said was naturally not as convincing as the first witnesses.

"Do you need to see Qiu Yi? I'll go and get him for you!"

"No need, please wait at the place where the body was found. I have some questions to ask him later."

"Okay!" Yelu Zesheng nodded, "Then let's go!"
