Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 77

"We have to learn the truth before everyone else, so we naturally need someone to help you. Du He has followed me to record with me in the past two years, and he has learned a lot about autopsy and injury detection." Ming Shu said, "Let him go, the general Little things can be decided at any time."

Yan Ziqin said: "What if he can't make a decision? Come back and ask you?"

Ming Shu said: "I'll just sit at home, and there won't be any danger."

Yan Ziqin didn't answer, and pulled up the thin quilt. It was already midsummer, and this move only meant that he didn't want to talk any more.

On the second day, Du He still followed. He wanted to go to Dali Temple first to meet Yan Ziqin's boss, Dali Temple Minister Ren Zheng. Du Xing is on the same list in the same year, but one is in the second and the other is in the third. Although the rankings are far apart, it is possible to know each other. If they are exposed, it will not be worth the loss.

"Besides, you look like you were born in an official family. If you say you are a servant, no one will believe you. If you say you are a friend, Lord Ren will definitely not let you go." Yan Ziqin said.

Du He smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll take it as your compliment."

Yan Ziqin thought for a while, and said: "If you want to take you in, there is a way. Although the Huitong Hall was guarded by the imperial army, it was not taken over. It was arranged by Master Tong Huitong. The upper body is naturally the most eager to solve the case, so why not ask him to investigate at night, avoiding my superiors and colleagues, it is more convenient to act."

Du He said: "That's all there is to it, but what if he doesn't believe me... To be honest, I don't even know if I can do it!"

Yan Ziqin said: "Ming Shu said that you can be your own, so naturally she has her considerations, but you have to keep in mind that you are not allowed to reveal a word to her, and you will swallow all kinds of difficulties. Now she is different from the past and cannot tolerate mistakes. "

Du He agreed, and then went to Tong Hui's place with Yan Ziqin. He had some friendship with Cheng Dutou of Jingzhao Mansion, and he had heard Cheng Dutou mention Yan Ziqin.Tong Hui was suspicious, and only believed in the words of the people around her. Although she couldn't trust Yan Ziqin, she thought that Cheng Dutou praised this person. He would not be Yan Ziqin's lobbyist two months in advance. He was eager to solve the case, so he agreed, but only for this one late, and to tell him the result truthfully.

Yan Ziqin agreed one by one, but his mouth was on him, and he would have reservations, and Tong Hui couldn't do anything to him.

At night, the two talked about things related to the case along the way.

"The strangest thing now is that this is not the first time Xiao Xi has been assassinated." Yan Ziqin said.

Du He said: "Several times? Does the court know?"

Yan Ziqin shook his head and said, "Xiao Xi didn't want someone with a heart to find an opportunity to cause trouble and destroy the Chanyuan alliance, so he kept it secret, not to mention that he failed several times before, from the first incident on the night of March 27th until June. , appeared three times in succession, and succeeded the fourth time, it is said that it was a man in black."

Du He asked: "Front and back should be one person. This kind of desperadoes don't like gangs and gangs. They are all lone rangers. What's more, those who can go in and out to assassinate Xiao Xi are definitely rare masters, one in a thousand. It's hard to meet two people who are both interested in Xiao Xi's head."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "If you are a man of lofty ideals who saved the country from the captives, wouldn't arresting him arouse public indignation?"

Yan Ziqin said: "No, I can promise my father-in-law that if the murderer is from the Song Dynasty, I will find a Liao person to take the place of the dead. It is not because I am willing to cheat, but because I firmly believe that this matter has something to do with Yu Qing. He defected to the Liao Kingdom and became an aide. The purpose of admonishing the Liao Emperor many times was to tear up the Chanyuan Alliance and encourage the Liao Kingdom to increase its military strength and prepare for another war. The enemy, using his death to stir up disputes between the Liao and Song Dynasties, wouldn't it be in his favor?"

Du He said: "There are not many people who dare to openly instigate murder in the capital. Yu Qing is one of them. If he planned this matter, this person is too scary."

Yan Ziqin said: "Some clues are not laid out in a day or two, but are the efforts of a lifetime or even generations. We are not going to deal with Yu Qing, but their tricks that have been lurking for many years. The thread is buried so deep, Xiao Xi must not be The biggest bargaining chip."

Du He said: "Could it be...the emperor is actually from the Liao Kingdom?" He laughed as he spoke.

Knowing that he was talking nonsense, Yan Ziqin also smiled and said, "Remember, tonight is just showing you the surrounding environment. Don't disturb Xiao Xi or others. Hurry up and come back."

When we arrived at the Huitong Hall, Tong Hui's people came to pick him up, and he entered the Huitong Hall through the back door without any danger.The trees here are already luxuriant, but at night it is even darker, the breeze blows, the sound is like a spear, and there are ghostly shadows, which frightens Du He.

"No, no, I can't see clearly at night." Du He pretended not to be afraid, and said angrily.

Yan Ziqin said: "Night naturally has its benefits. It was night when the assassination was carried out, and it was a dark moon that could not be seen. Some details cannot be deduced in daylight, but they are real at night."

Du He said: "That man is really true, and he didn't leave a single lantern behind."

Yan Ziqin said: "Keep the lantern? Do you want us to expose our whereabouts and let everyone come and arrest us?" He felt more and more that Mingshu had given him a bad idea, at least Mingshu was not afraid of ghosts and gods.Thinking about it again, although she is not afraid of ghosts, it is hard to guarantee that she will not make other moths, each has its own merits, so I can only smile.

He has been carefully surveying here for the past few days, and he is already familiar with the road, and soon found a low wall.

"Touch and see, the bricks on the wall have new traces of peeling off, which should be left by the assassin." Yan Ziqin said, pointing to the west, where the lighted pavilion was inside the wall, "there is the room where Xiao Xi was assassinated." , a hundred steps away from here, the murderer entered through the east wall and assassinated him stealthily."

Du He touched the brick, and sure enough, a piece was slightly recessed near the courtyard. It was very shallow and slope-shaped, just the width of a shoe.

"This murderer is really strange, stepping on a brick to create a gap?" Du He was surprised.

Yan Ziqin said: "Master Ren said that it might have nothing to do with the murderer, it might have been there before, and others didn't care. It's just that the location where the traces appeared is too special, facing Xiao Xi's room, how can there be such a coincidence."

Du He said: "Maybe the murderer is wearing a pair of iron shoes." After speaking, he stepped on the bushes under his feet and said, "Have these broken grasses been trampled down before?"

Yan Ziqin said: "It's not grass, it's Michelia flower." After thinking for a while, he said: "We didn't trample on flowers and trees last time, I'm afraid you just trampled them down."

Du He was speechless, quickly jumped away, and said, "This is not helping and destroying your evidence!"

Yan Ziqin said: "Time is short, don't worry about it so much."

As he was talking, he saw that Du He had climbed onto the top of the wall. The wall was not high at all, so he rode up on it with one hand, and said, "Come up quickly!"

Yan Ziqin said in shock: "Don't be rash, there are patrolling Liao soldiers not far away."

After all, Xiao Xi did not trust the Song people. The outer area was in charge of the Imperial Guards of the Song State, and the interior was full of Liao people brought by Xiao Xi. The number was not large. Even if there were repeated assassinations, the troops were only enough to patrol, not enough to enclose the inner courtyard into an iron bucket , They do not understand the language of the Liao people, and it is difficult to explain the misunderstanding.

Du He said: "Since I'm here, I'm not here to see a broken wall, nor a corpse, a wound, these bits and pieces of bricks, bricks and tiles, I can't see it."

As he said that, he turned over and jumped into the courtyard. Yan Ziqin saw that it was irreversible, so he had to follow him and jumped in. When he landed, his foot slipped and he almost fell.

"It seems that you are not suitable to be a thief." Du He said.

Yan Ziqin said: "Stop talking nonsense, be careful not to be discovered."

As soon as the voice fell, a series of footsteps came from afar. It was Liao soldiers searching everywhere. Yan Ziqin hurriedly pulled Du He to hide behind the tree. After the sound went away, Du He laughed at himself: "That night, the assassin also Hide it like this."

Yan Ziqin held his breath and said after a while, "The question is how did he get into the Huitong hall."

While speaking, there was another sound of footsteps, and Du He whispered: "I regret that I jumped over the wall recklessly and came in."

Yan Ziqin said in his heart, you also know that you regret it, and when the footsteps passed, you heard Du He say: "If you die anyway, I will go." I saw him rushing to the house a hundred steps away, Yan Ziqin wanted to pull It's too late to live.

I'm going to be killed this time!He covered his face. After all, Du He was brought by him, so he had to bear the burden. Then he ran over, and really alarmed the patrolling Liao soldiers, and shouted a Khitan word for some reason. Kicked open the door of Xiao Xi's room.

"Lord Xiao, please see me later!" Du He bowed his hands, Yan Ziqin stood outside the door with his arms outstretched to protect the door.

"Stop!" Xiao Xi shouted.

Liao soldiers retreated one after another, Yan Ziqin turned his head to look into the room, only to see one other person besides Xiao Xi.

"Master Ren?" Yan Ziqin asked in surprise, bowed his hands and saluted, "If you dare to intrude, you deserve death."

The person in the room was none other than Ren Zheng, Minister of Dali Temple. He was very surprised to see Yan Ziqin, and said, "Why are you here... Tong Hui must have let you in, right?"

Yan Ziqin said: "This subordinate is also eager to make contributions."

At this point, it's better to prevaricate, Ren Zheng pointed at Du He and said, "Who is this?"

Du He said: "I'm just a nobody..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the patrolling Liao soldiers commotion again, Xiao Xi said: "No, the assassin probably came again."

Yan Ziqin heard the words and quickly closed the door to protect Xiao Xi, but Du He took the opportunity to slip out and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Only Yan Ziqin and the other two were left in the room looking at each other, Xiao Xi pondered for a while, and then said in somewhat blunt Chinese: "That man is bound to come back if he misses a hit, but how can he break through the defense of your Great Song Imperial Army? How about going to the inner courtyard?"

The implication is to question that the assassin was originally sent by the court, and continued: "I have always been close to Song Guo, but I don't want to be treated like this."

Ren Zheng said: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. The murderer has absolutely nothing to do with the Imperial Army."

Xiao Xi said: "You are my invited guest, but why did Lord Yan show up? Even the officials of Dali Temple can come and go here at will. Wouldn't it be easier for an assassin hiding in the dark?"

Yan Ziqin was helpless, no one thought that Du He would suddenly overturn the wall, but now, it is better to make a mistake, and asked: "Boldly ask Mr. Xiao, do you know a surrender named Yeluqing in the Liao Dynasty?"

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not familiar with this person, what do you ask him for?"
