The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Gu Shiwei thought and changed his mind.

If the poison is not introduced through the mouth, are there other ways?
Although she is not best at concealed weapons, such weapons are often associated with poison in the world.

There are Kaifeng government officials guarding all sides, and the murderer is not Tu Xingsun, who can spit out a date stone from the coffin and nail Li Zhenxian to death, then...

Gu Shiwei thought, walked forward to the place closest to Li Zhenxian's seat, raised his head and looked at the four-cornered lantern above his head.

This lantern has four wooden pillars with dense patterns of auspicious animals on all sides. The wick of the lantern is in the center of the lantern. The bottom is also a base with hollow wood grain. The long tassels hang down from the bottom, making it look grand. And calm.

Through the hollow space, Gu Shiwei could vaguely see a small, dusty thing stuck next to the lamp, which looked like a beehive on the eaves.

And the base is not completely transparent, there are places where the light is blocked by something nearby.

Gu Shiwei's mind was trembling. She walked around and jumped up to the beam. She squatted on it and looked at the lantern. She found that one of the four lanterns could be opened. She thought about it and saw an upside-down golden clock with her feet wrapped around it. On the beam, he stretched out his hands and opened the lantern.

"This time I finally found the right one. There is a delicate crossbow hidden inside this lantern. It is not big enough for a palm and should only be able to shoot a needle."

Upon hearing Gu Shiwei's words, Wu Jiang immediately rushed over and started rummaging through Li Zhenxian's hair.

"Good guy! There is really a blood spot, and this needle has penetrated into the brain! If I had known, I would have brought the old man here directly!"

Wu Jiang rummaged around for a few times and exclaimed, "But how did the murderer trigger the crossbow? The crossbow can be made small and concealed, but people can't shrink and hide in a lantern, right?"

Gu Shiwei looked at the mechanism inside the lantern and was amazed.

"The crossbow is fired downwards, directly above Li Zhenxian's seat. There is a rope tied to the hanging knife, and the rope passes through a lantern bone lying horizontally above. A small bucket is tied to the other end, hanging directly from the Underneath the oil cup."

"At first, the keg was empty. It was very light and would not pull the rope, so the crossbow would not fire. But the murderer cut a small hole in the oil lamp. The lamp oil fell drop by drop, and the keg became heavier. Pull the rope down."

Wu Jiang heard that one head was bigger than the two heads. Han Shiyan over there thought for a while and continued, "The length of the rope is fixed, one goes down and the other grows. When the small bucket pulls the rope down, the rope on the hanging knife will keep moving. Pull it up, as if someone pulled the hanging knife, and the poisonous needle will be shot out."

"The murderer must be very familiar with the Li Zhou case. If he knew that he would sit here and read a book tonight, he would also have access to the light for a long time."

Gu Shiwei nodded when he heard this. She swayed in the air a few times and gave Han Shiyan a thumbs up.

"Wujiang, if you can't imagine it, you will know when I take down this lantern and show it to you. Don't worry, it's not Zhuge Liannu. He won't shoot you with a second poisonous needle!"

Wu Jiang looked at Gu Shiwei, then at Han Shiyan...

Although you have been very considerate, I still don’t understand it at all!

Gu Shiwei said, reaching out to get the lamp, but she was stunned when her hand touched it. She looked at Han Shiyan with a complicated expression.

"You said before that the Yushitai received news that there was a large amount of gold and silver hidden in Li Zhenxian's home, but Wang Xi took advantage of the banquet to look for it many times, but found nothing..." Han Shiyan's eyes lit up and he looked up. Turning to Gu Shiwei, "That's why I hide it in these six lamps!"

"Why did the murderer go to all the trouble to set up the mechanism in the lantern? In addition to killing Li Zhenxian, he also wanted to tell us about this! It was also to comply with the corrupt officials mentioned in the letter!"

Gu Shiwei nodded affirmatively, turned over and jumped down.

"The murderer must be accomplished in the art of mechanism and is also familiar with bows and crossbows."

Gu Shiwei said and looked at Wu Jiang, "If that letter was not an excuse and the murderer followed Guan Yushi's "Drawing the Flowers and Willows" to kill, he should have killed him after the news of Guan Yushi's death came out. He just started planning to kill Li Zhenxian."

"Then, between the deaths of Guan Yushi and Li Zhenxian, the murderer must have been in this study and touched this lamp."

"We should be old acquaintances with Li Zhenxian. After all, he knows exactly where the dirty money is hidden. You can ask Wang Yushi where the news that the Yushi Station received came from..."

Gu Shiwei paused as he spoke and said in a serious tone, "If my prediction is correct, it is very likely that this is just the beginning of serial killings..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wu Jiang, only to see Wu Jiang's eyes widening, and he covered his face with both hands, as if he had seen a ghost!
Seeing Gu Shiwei looking at him, Wu Jiang broke down and howled, "Are you two really speaking Dayong Mandarin?"

As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously and jumped onto Li Zhenxian's desk. He hiccupped while doing a horse stance. He was so angry that he jumped up to the rafter, and then took a deep breath. He took a breath, flushed, took down the lantern and held it in his arms.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm coming down!"

As he spoke, he jumped down with all his might while holding the big lantern, and landed heavily on the ground with his feet.

He thought about it, then gently put the lantern on the ground, and then rushed to the next one with his eyes moving.

After taking off the second lantern, Wu Jiang finally showed a triumphant smile. He breathed a sigh of relief into the palm of his hand and slammed it towards the second lantern. He only heard a snap, and the lantern suddenly Exploded.

From the wooden frame of the lantern, pieces of gold bricks rolled out!
Wu Jiang grabbed a piece in shock and exclaimed, "Master Gu! Sister Gu! It really does exist! Good guy! No wonder this lantern has to be hung with such a thick hook! There are so many on the surface, who knew How many are there secretly?”

"This old greedy guy is showing off his money proudly! He's not afraid that if the thing doesn't catch, it will fall and smash him into a piece of meat!"

Wu Jiang said, putting his hands on his hips, and instantly regained his confidence, "I am still useful, haha, at least I am stronger than the two of you! Especially Brother Shi Yan, haha, he has no power to tie a chicken!"

Han Shiyan rolled his eyes at Wu Jiang and looked toward the door.

After the housekeeper saw what happened, he ran out screaming. At this time, he had called someone, followed by a large group of people.

The fastest one among them, wearing a forehead wiper and holding a cane, was a white-haired old lady in her sixties.

She stepped in, first looked at the smashed lantern, and then looked at Li Zhenxian, who was lying motionless on the chair. Her legs gave way and she fell to the threshold.
