Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 452 The truth of the year

Under the sunlight, the tip of the gun that was shining with silver light snapped off instantly.

The gun head and the gun body broke apart at once.

Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan's expressions suddenly changed, and the next moment they saw the owner of the silver gun, An Guogong, was still touching the gun body with a "haha" smile. After a while, the silver gun body split into several pieces and broke apart. Come.

With a "click", seeing that the vigorous silver gun that was playing just now broke into several pieces and threw it on the ground, the owner of the silver gun beside him, An Guogong, did not show any panic on his face. Uncharacteristically, he stood aside proudly and grimaced at the two of them, and said triumphantly, "How is it? Breaking the silver gun with bare hands, isn't grandfather very powerful?"

Lin Yan looked at Anguo Gong who looked like an old urchin proudly: "..."

But An Guogong laughed, waved his hands again and again and said: "Don't worry! This gun is fine, it will return to its original state. Such a good gun, if it is broken like this, I will be so distressed!"

Just when An Guogong laughed "haha", Ji Chongyan squatted down, picked up the gun head and the gun body and looked at it. After looking at it for a while, he felt the tooth mark at the break and the mechanism in the middle: "This Not an ordinary gun."

Lin Yan's gaze also fell on the broken silver gun at this time, after staring at the broken silver gun for a while, Lin Yan suddenly changed his face: "Master, your silver gun Does Miss Jiang Si know how it can be divided into several parts?"

Seeing An Guogong breaking the silver spear as if offering a treasure, he suddenly remembered something, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ji Chongyan who also raised his head at this time, and the two looked at An Guogong who was offering a treasure.

Meeting the gazes of the two above, An Guogong said proudly: "Of course I know, this is what the girl from the Jiang family told the old man before leaving. If she hadn't mentioned it, the old man would have almost forgotten it, haha..."

The two immediately looked at each other, and Lin Yan immediately asked: "You said that Miss Jiang Si was before leaving? Did she not come back to Yancheng?"

"No! The Jiang family girl left for something, so she didn't enter the city, but before she left, she told the old man the secret of the silver gun..." An Guogong put the silver gun back together like a splicing toy. Playing it in his hand, he said, "It's still the same as before, but it's easier to carry, haha!"

Not only is it convenient to carry?Thinking of the carriage searched when he met them outside the post station, Lin Yan already understood what was going on.

But these things can't be said in front of An Guogong. After setting up his grandfather who took a nap in the afternoon, Ji Chongyan walked from the back to the front and entered the hall.

"Duke is resting?" Seeing Ji Chongyan's return, Lin Yan hastily greeted him.

Ji Chongyan nodded, "Yes", and said: "Grandfather was exhausted from traveling and traveling, and he played another round of marksmanship, so he fell asleep tired."

An Guogong is asleep, so there are some things to talk about.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan panicked in his heart, and now he was too lazy to speak up and said, "Fang San is probably not in the city anymore, and he was taken out of the city by Miss Jiang Si that day!"

The way to take it out of the city is easy to say, as long as Fang San hides in the gun box, as for the silver gun, it only needs to be divided into several pieces like An Guogong, and put into the cage under the carriage cushion.

Because it is people who are being searched, people cannot be stored separately like this silver gun, so naturally subconsciously they will not check those few cages.

In this case, when they chased outside the post station, Fang San should be nearby before leaving the carriage, and Fourth Miss Jiang took advantage of the time when the Duke got out of the carriage and came out to pay respects, and released Fang San from the box, and put Take out the silver gun in the cage and restore it to its original shape and put it back in the box.

If they had been more careful that day, checked the inside and outside of the post station, or opened the cages for inspection, they would have found clues.

If the silver gun made no sound in the carriage, it must have been resting on something soft.Putting silver guns on soft things like clothes will definitely leave marks, so if they were more careful that day, they would definitely find flaws, but... Lin Yan was full of annoyance when he thought of this: " I didn't expect Miss Jiang Si to be so courageous. She hid Miss Fang San in the box. If Miss Fang San made a slight movement or the Duke of the country opened the box to touch the silver gun on a whim, it would reveal flaws. I didn't expect her to take it seriously. dare……"

"She is daring. She is very resourceful and courageous." When Ji Chongyan said this, his tone was complicated. Compared with Lin Yan's annoyance, he was inexplicably more indescribable and proud. "Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to go to Kowloon Ridge with me that day."

Lin Yan looked at Ji Chongyan with a complicated tone: "..." Is this the time to praise Miss Jiang Si?

"Before she left, she deliberately told her grandfather about this incident. With her grandfather's temperament, she would definitely run back to present treasures to the two of us. Therefore, she made this arrangement on purpose." Ji Chongyan said.

Lin Yan couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, and after a long pause, he said to Ji Chongyan: "In the cases I have handled, only those murderers with madness and faults like to tell and remind the investigating officials in such a way, the purpose is to provoke."

Miss Jiang Si's actions are in line with what these murderers do, but the purpose is not completely in line with it, which is really puzzling.

"She didn't do it for provocation," Ji Chongyan said to Lin Yan, "she just wanted to remind me of one thing."

As for what it was... Ji Chongyan shook his head, but didn't mention it to Lin Yan.

What she was doing was already very clear: she was about to leave Ye Mingzhu on Jiulongling, and she used her method to send Ye Mingzhu to His Majesty in order to let him and Lin Yan completely get away from the past 20 years ago.

What happened 20 years ago was related to the Fang family, Zhou Fang, Ye Mingzhu and Yang Yan, but it had nothing to do with him and Lin Yan.

The reason why he was prevented from talking with Lin Yan was obviously because once the truth of this matter was revealed, it would cause a lot of trouble.But she had to do it for some reason.

As for the truth 20 years ago, it's not like she didn't disclose any information to him at all.

If you don't disclose any information, he and Lin Yan will definitely not let go. People's curiosity is terrible.So she will reveal, and reveal the most dangerous bit of information to let him stop interfering.

Ji Chongyan walked to the divided silver gun by the table, and picked up the tip and body of the silver gun.

"Chongyan, what are you doing?" Seeing Ji Chongyan pick up the gun body, Lin Yan looked over in confusion.

Ji Chongyan pointed to the part of the gun body connected to the gun head, looked up at Lin Yan, and asked him: "Look at this place..."

Lin Yan said, "Huh?" He picked up the part of the gun body and inspected it carefully: "What's wrong with this place?"

Ji Chongyan squinted slightly at the broken gun body in front of him, and Lin Yan was almost taken aback when he asked: "Nurse Chai was hit back then, does the wound on her head that I don't know the specific weapon seem to be Was it caused by this blow?"

Chai Momo's wound back then... Lin Yan's breathing was stagnant, and the weather, which was sunny just a moment ago, suddenly turned gloomy. When it fell, it drenched the entire ground in an instant.

……

The surname of the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop that is not doing well today is Mo, and his ancestors used to be the family of the Mo family among the hundreds of families in the Spring and Autumn Period.

There are countless narrations about the people of the Mo family who are good at machine craftsmen, and there are many in the history books.It is impossible for such a reputation to be groundless, and the people of the Mo family are really good at crafting machines.

This silver gun that can be put together like a child's toy is the best proof!

But this silver gun was not the first silver gun made by the blacksmith.

An Guogong's voice sounded like offering a treasure.

"The girl from the Jiang family went to negotiate. I heard that this silver gun was used by the two heroes of the Zhao family in the past. Alas! In the prosperous age of peace, not many people like guns, and most of the guns used in military training are from Provided by the Imperial Merchant selected by the Ministry of War. This gun is very troublesome to build. If everyone in the army is to take this gun, the treasury will not be able to bear it long ago..."

He didn't remember all the rambling words, but he had already remembered the most important words.

In the past, His Majesty and Little General Zhao had a silver spear like this in their hands. When Nanny Chai had an accident, General Zhao was far away from Baidi, so His Majesty only had one in the entire capital.

When Nanny Chai had an accident, His Majesty was in the mansion. With his ability and status, Nanny Chai would not be on guard at all. If he used this silver gun to hit Nanny Chai, he would be able to do it.

And which visitor in the entire Zhao family is more familiar with the environment of the Zhao family than His Majesty?It is easy for His Majesty to escape from an injured person without being discovered.

Lin Yan watched the heavy raindrops "crackling" on the ground, and his heart beat like a drum: From the perspective of Dali Temple officials, this case has all the witnesses and evidences.

What's more troublesome is that if General Zhao is dead at this time, no matter from which angle you look at it, His Majesty will be the biggest beneficiary.

He has the motive to kill, the means and ability to kill, and he can easily erase all traces.

Your Majesty's suspicion... is really too big, if this is an ordinary case, if you are not facing your Majesty but an ordinary person, Dali Temple would have arrested him long ago.

One moment was still hot and covered with sweat, but the next moment it was like falling into a cellar of ice. Lin Yan's hands hanging by his sides trembled uncontrollably, wanting to grab a cup of tea on the table and take a drink to suppress the panic in his heart , but found that he couldn't even grasp it steadily.

"Chong... Chongyan!" After an unknown period of time, Lin Yan finally remembered that there was such a person beside him.

Compared with him, an outsider, the fact that his uncle was most likely the murderer who killed his uncle had a greater impact on Ji Chongyan.

But Ji Chongyan on the opposite side gave a "hmm", sat down at some point, took a sip from the teacup, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

what happened?He also asked what happened?Lin Yan stared at Ji Chongyan who was opposite him.

After all, it was an old friend for many years. Even if he didn't speak, but just stared, Ji Chongyan could see what he was thinking at a glance. After seeing this, he paused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "This is what Miss Jiang Si wants to remind us."

This reminder simply...shocked him.

It's just that although he was shocked, compared to Lin Yan's shock, he... was actually not unprepared.

People say that people are divided into groups, and he and Lin Yan are friends because they have something in common.Although he is not an expert investigator like Lin Yan, he is equally sure of a saying that Lin Yan often talks about.

That is, in the face of such suspicious cases, one must not give "special treatment" because of the identity of the superior and the distance of relatives. In the case of Nanny Chai's injury, if he hadn't cared about His Majesty's identity, his suspicion would not be small. After all , Speaking of familiarity with the Zhao family, who can be more familiar with the Zhao family than the Zhao family with the surname Zhao?

To be able to do something to Chai Momo without being discovered by anyone, it is necessary to keep Chai Momo in a remote place.

Although Nanny Chai was just an ordinary person at that time, ordinary people would not go to a secluded place with strangers for no reason!Therefore, His Majesty's suspicion was not small from the beginning.

What he didn't understand before was the murder weapon that injured Nanny Chai, but now... this murder weapon was delivered directly to him by Miss Jiang Si.

Miss Jiang Si... When did she find out?If he hadn't known this early in the morning, how could he have taken his grandfather to the blacksmith's shop of the Mo family?

Seeing is believing, compared to spending countless words explaining the truth to him and Lin Yan, it is far less powerful to let him and Lin Yan see the truth with their own eyes.

At least now... Seeing Lin Yan's dazed and pale face, Ji Chongyan lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment, then suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled: It works!
At least he and Lin Yan will not intervene in this matter for no reason at this time.

It's just that she persuaded him and Lin Yan, but she obviously didn't intend to stop, whether it was Ye Mingzhu, Fang's family or Zhou Fang, she seemed to have stepped in early.

Why?Ji Chongyan was thinking, a little puzzled: why did she do this?Since the danger of this matter was understood early, why did it have to be done?

"Chongyan!" Lin Yan on the side came back to his senses at some point, he looked at Ji Chongyan with a complicated expression: "I think..." He only felt that speaking at this moment was unprecedentedly difficult, but even though it was difficult, he Still said, "Miss Jiang Si reminded you right."

This is how he—an ordinary ordinary person reacts to such things.Knowing that this incident is very likely to be related to His Majesty, he should withdraw in time.if not?Could it be that under His Majesty's world, Dali Temple still dares to interrogate His Majesty's guilt?

Within a limited range, he will try his best to uphold the justice of Dazhou's laws, but this matter...he really can't do it, he still has many people and things he misses in this world, such as Asu, how dare he act like a headless Flies generally run into it regardless?
"We must not intervene." Lin Yan said, looking at Ji Chongyan in front of him, the decisive words in his mouth suddenly softened for some reason, "Even if you are really curious about the case in your heart, you can just take a peek in private."

Ji Chongyan glanced at him and said "Yes".

This "um" came really fast!Lin Yan touched his nose and looked outside at the much lighter rain.

A rain comes and goes quickly, and the rain has not stopped yet, but the sun came out first.

"Okay, forget about the silver gun." Lin Yan said, putting aside the gun that An Guogong presented as a treasure, and said, "The identities of the women who were killed in the cave outside the city that I told you earlier have been confirmed. "
