Wei Shu

Chapter 17 Spreads
"Are you sure?" Ye Fei raised his head and stared at Zhou Shang.

"I'm probably sure." Zhou Shang looked straight out of the window, and said in a low voice, "I stuffed a lot of money into the porter of Balan Mansion, and he secretly told me that in the middle of yesterday, the chief steward suddenly lost his temper. He overheard someone discussing that a Song slave escaped from the mansion."

Ye Fei's complexion immediately sank, and he remained silent.

Zhou Shang said again: "After hearing the news, I still held some hope in my heart, thinking that Zhao Tan might have had some accident, and this accident might not have anything to do with what we were planning. After returning here last night, I hung the copper wind chime in front of the door and waited for him with the lamp on all night. But he... didn't come."

He stopped speaking.

According to the plan agreed earlier, the criticality of the copper wind chime is inferior to that of the iron horse wind bell, which means "the situation is unknown, proceed with caution".

For safety's sake, the iron horse Zhan Fengduo should not be hung up now, lest there will be a temporary change.

"From this point of view, the Song slave who escaped from the Balan Mansion is probably Lao Zhao." After pondering for a moment, Ye Fei said.

Zhou Shang let out a "huh" and continued: "When it was dawn, I rushed to Balan Mansion to deliver the goods, but I still couldn't find Zhao Tan. I only saw someone guarding his place from a distance. I didn't dare to ask anyone else, so I changed direction and started investigating from Miss Wei Shu."

"Very good." Ye Fei interrupted him, with an approving look on his face again: "If you keep entangled in Lao Zhao's side, you're just getting into a dead end. Why don't you try a different way of thinking."

Zhou Shang said: "Yes, boss. I went to the vicinity of Miss Wei's house first, and started to ask people all the way. When I got to the empty house in the north of the city, a bearer said that it rained only around the first quarter of Shenchu ​​yesterday. When he started walking, he saw a woman with a scar on her forehead, dressed in the clothes of a wealthy servant, hurrying towards the east of the city.

As soon as I heard it, I knew it must be Miss Wei, so I asked and searched all the way along this line, and finally found the ruined temple on Shenmiao Lane. "

At this juncture, there was a bit of sadness between his brows, as if he remembered the tragedy of his comrade lying dead at the bottom of the well in the backyard, but his eyes were still fixed on the window, not relaxing for a moment:

"I found Miss Wei in the main hall. She was still unconscious at that time, and her breathing was very weak. I called her a few times but couldn't wake her up, so I started to search around. It didn't take long before I found Zhao in the dry well in the backyard. Tan and the bodies of another man.

He had been soaked in the rain all night, his body was already a little pale, and his body was covered with knife wounds, as if he had been stabbed to death by random knives.So did the other body. "

When he said this, Zhou Shang paused for a moment and frowned slightly: "Judging from the trend of the blade, it should be the same person who stabbed them to death with the same weapon. The fatal wounds of the two people were distributed in the throat, ribs Down and back these few places.

However, these wounds were all smashed to pieces, and the original shape could not be seen at all, it felt like it was done on purpose. "

"Wait a minute." Ye Fei said suddenly.

Zhou Shang stopped speaking, and Ye Fei put the hatchet back on the bamboo case, and held a short knife in his hand, then raised his head again, his bright phoenix eyes fixed on his subordinates, and said:
"Tell me about the situation of the other corpse first."

Zhou Shang was obviously a little stunned, stared out the window for a few breaths, and then slowed down and said:
"Well... If you want to talk about that person, his face has been slashed by a knife, and he can't tell his face at all. His body, hands and feet have also been slashed countless times, and some places may have... been skinned. "

His complexion was not very good, it was obvious that he hadn't forgotten the horrific death of the corpse, there was a slight pause in his voice, and then he said:

"If you compare it like this, Zhao Tan's situation is better. Although he has suffered a lot of knives on his face, he can barely make out his appearance. I don't think there is much on him..."

He stopped talking suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, his face suddenly turned pale.

"That nameless corpse must be the one the murderer really wanted to kill." Ye Fei's voice sounded.

After finishing speaking, he sighed deeply: "Old Zhao...maybe he was just affected."

Zhou Shang originally only had this thought secretly, but now he heard Ye Fei speak out, he stood in a daze at first, and then the hand holding the ladder trembled.

The death of the spies by the enemy was their destined return, and everyone was more or less prepared for it.

However, Zhao Tan probably did not die in his home country, but in an unprovoked assassination, which made Zhou Shang not only worthless for him, but also resentful.

And even so, his sight looking out of the window didn't shift a bit, as if his eyes were glued there, and he wouldn't move away even if he died.

"Let me do it." Seeing his red eyes, Ye Fei sighed lowly, put the short knife on the case, and climbed another ladder to the window.

It was only when his eyes turned out of the window that Zhou Shangfang moved away from his somewhat blurred vision.

The two of them had a secret meeting here, monitoring Wei Shu was the first priority, and the secret talk was second.Because of this, Zhou Shang never forgot the first priority even though he was in a state of mind just now.

Compared to the changes in his expression, his voice was still calm:

"Boss, you are right. At that time, I thought that the corpse was a bit weird. Now it seems that Zhao Tan was not the murderer who really wanted to kill. Maybe Zhao Tan accidentally bumped into someone or something, and then he was killed." ... and killed it without any hassle."

The last four words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

After closing his eyes and adjusting his breath for a while, Zhou Shang opened his eyes and continued after his emotions calmed down a bit:

"The man—I mean the murderer—had a clean job. Except for some blood at the bottom of the well, there was nothing else. Besides, everything that could identify Zhao Tan and the other person was gone, inside and outside. The clothes were also stripped off, and only a piece of rag was covered on both of them.

Another one, I found that the soil in the main hall and the backyard seemed to have been turned over by someone, but I went there too late, and the rain was heavy last night, and many places were turned into mud, so I am not sure that it was artificially turned over. get it out.

There is another thing that is a little strange, that is, a new roof beam was broken in the hall.I climbed up to have a look, and the broken part was located at both ends of the beam, as if the whole log had fallen sideways, but there were not many broken logs on the ground.

Apart from these few places, I didn't see anything more.That place can be said to be quite clean, to the point of abnormal cleanliness. "

When Ye Fei heard the words, his face showed a pensive look, his eyebrows raised suddenly, and he opened his mouth to speak.

However, Zhou Shang already guessed what he wanted to say, and said first: "It's not Miss Wei."

After a pause, he added another sentence: "I don't think so."
