Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 191 Not many people are willing to ask for it

Not everyone has the opportunity to see the guts of a person's body, and it can be considered a blessing for everyone on the scene.

But few people are willing to have this kind of luck.

Ye Chen actually endured without vomiting, which made him feel very strange, but he didn't know how ugly his face had become.

The faces of the two head catchers who dissected the corpses were even uglier, reflecting the pale light, their faces looked like two dead faces.

This time, they used their knives more cautiously and carefully.

The hidden weapon is actually inside the heart.

And it was exactly the same as the cow hairy needle that attacked Ye Chen, it was about an inch long, and it was as thick as a hair, embedded in the heart valve.

The needle may still flow out of the heart, but by then the blood flow has stopped.

The entire heart turned black, as if it had been fished out of ink.

What was quenched on the steel needle was indeed a powerful poison.

Three such steel needles were found by the two catchers respectively.

Ren Zhiliang was impatient to wait.

He wants to know the origin of the hidden weapon, the origin of the poison, six steel needles are too many, and one steel needle is enough.

The six steel needles were held in front of everyone.It is clamped with clamps and placed on white silk paper.The head catcher who was good at medicine, who was sitting aside to rest, had already stood up and surrounded him.

After a poison concealed weapon is used, the toxicity may not completely disappear.

The blue-purple steel needles are more clear on the white paper.

Ren Zhiliang leaned closer to the lamp, looked at it carefully for a while, frowned and pondered, and after a while, said: "If such a thin needle wants to penetrate a person's body, it must be at least within two feet. General Luo's four guards Just sitting in the outside room, but there was no sound of any abnormal movement throughout the night. If you entered through the door, there would be no abnormal movement. Unless the murderer came out from the inner room and made a surprise attack."

Ye Chen's heart moved, and he said, "Lord Ren means that the murderer who killed the three guards was Red Batgirl."

Ren Zhiliang said: "She and General Luo disappeared at the same time, so she is the biggest suspect in the first place."

Ye Chen interjected: "That is to say, as long as we find out the identity of the Red Batgirl, we have a clue and something to investigate."

Ren Zhi said brightly: "Exactly."

The head catcher who is good at medicine suddenly said: "This kind of needle is probably a shadowless needle, and the poison is the most poisonous poison."

Ren Zhiliang and several head-captors shook at the same time, and Li Junhao said: "That's right! This kind of needle is indeed like the shadowless needle, the unique hidden weapon of the pink girl. The pink girl is always in the world, and the biggest reliance is her absolute charm. medicine and the unique hidden weapon, the Shadowless Needle."

Ren Zhiliang was a little dissatisfied that his subordinates did not reveal the origin of the injection before Li Junhao.

However, the cause of death of Luo Yaoshun's three guards and the murderer are now fully understood.As for why the owner of the Red Bat Tower has the Shadowless Needle, it should be given by Pink Girl.

"The owner of the Red Bat Building is obviously one of the thieves, but why did he go to Kaifeng Mansion to report the crime early in the morning? And how did the other guard become a lunatic, and when and where did the red bat appear? Bat Tower." Ye Chen said.

Ren Zhiliang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master Hou means...he deliberately lured us here." He deliberately avoided talking about why the other guard became a lunatic, because the matter was too weird to deduce. .Because he had already interrogated the two clients and a prostitute who lived on both sides of this room last night, but he did not hear any movement of the door opening.He had already told Ye Chen about this just now, and I believe this is what Ye Chen was most puzzled about.

Li Junhao interjected: "No! It's not to lure us here, but to lure Master Hou. Sir Ren, don't forget that the real target of the sudden attack by the boss of the Red Bat Building just now is Lord Hou."

Ren Zhiliang said solemnly, "That's right! If Master Hou's swordsmanship hadn't been superb just now, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"I also ask Lord Hou to return to the mansion quickly and hand over this place to the subordinates. The subordinates will definitely try their best to solve the case." Ren Zhiliang immediately bowed to Ye Chen and said solemnly.

Ye Chen shook his head, and said resolutely: "Benhou's brothers fell into the hands of thieves because of Benhou, how can Benhou sit at home and wait for the news."

"But..." Ren Zhiliang still wanted to dissuade him. If something happened to Ye Chen under his nose, he would definitely be in bad luck because of the emperor's furious reaction after Ye Chen was taken away by Shangguan Bingyun last time.

Before Ren Zhiliang could continue, Ye Chen suddenly shrank his pupils and shouted, "There is someone inside!"

In the sound of the words, he had already rushed in first, followed by Li Junhao, Monk Shi, and Ren Zhiliang, whose expressions changed.

But the reality is that there is no one in the inner bedroom, and there should be no one.Not to mention that the previous arresters had carefully inspected it, and the outside was also surrounded by layers of Kaifeng government arresters.

Ye Chen frowned, he heard clearly just now, a sound of breathing came from the direction of the inner bedroom.

Ye Chen twitched his nose twice, and suddenly smelled a very strange smell, his eyes lit up, and followed the smell to a one-person-high wardrobe on the right side of the bedroom.

"Open the closet!" Ye Chen put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Seeing this, the others felt as if they were facing a big enemy, and their weapons were unsheathed one after another.

Before waiting for the catcher behind Ren Zhiliang to make a move, Monk Shi opened the closet door.

There was nothing behind the closet door, not even a single piece of clothing.But Ye Chen felt that the smell was stronger.But the source is not in the closet, it seems... it's behind the closet.

Ren Zhiliang understood what Ye Chen meant, and said to a headhunter, "Go and see if there is a secret door."

This head catcher is obviously good at finding hidden passages and secret rooms, and now the scope has narrowed down to a wardrobe. It took him half a stick of incense to open the door.

The wooden board on the side of the wardrobe against the wall is movable, and the crossbar for hanging clothes is a switch. When the crossbar is taken down, the wooden board will move to the right.

Behind the board is a door.Not that there is a door on the wall behind the wardrobe, the wardrobe itself is attached to the wall.You can't move it if you want to, unless you smash it.

Following Ren Zhiliang's order, the wardrobe was smashed,
At this time, the night is getting dark.

The cold moon bends in the air like a bow, and the dim moonlight shines through the window into the house, slanting on the dark door.

The door is closed tightly, and the strange patterns carved on it are still recognizable in the night.

No one could see what that meant.

"There are people inside." Ye Chen said softly.

Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard the words.

Neither Ye Chen nor Ren Zhiliang knocked on the door in person, they never did this kind of thing.

Monk Shi was eager to try, Ye Chen glared at him, and then stood obediently beside Ye Chen, Ren Zhiliang didn't speak, just glanced at a head catcher beside him.

The head catcher's legs seemed to go limp immediately, and he almost shuffled to the door.Just one knock, and the door swung open.

The second blow of the head catcher almost hit a face.

In fact, seeing that face, his hands were already limp in the air.

The door was opened by a woman, neatly dressed.The bright red clothes are as red as blood.Although she was dressed very young, no matter how she looked, she looked like an old woman.

The wrinkles on her face are too many and deep enough.The light shone obliquely on her face, and every wrinkle cast a shadow, like a knife.

Her hair on the other end was still black and shiny, and it was still scattered like an earthworm, and what was caught in the middle was her skull that also looked like a skeleton.

At night, with three disembowelled corpses lying behind him, and suddenly seeing such a person through a hidden door, everyone would inevitably feel a sense of terror.

The old woman's face was dull and expressionless, her ice-like eyes stared straight at the catcher who knocked on the door.

The head catcher shuddered inexplicably, quickly avoided her gaze, and took three steps back.

But both Ren Zhiliang and Ye Chen had smiles on their faces, but their eyes were as cold as the light of a knife.Someone naturally means a lot of progress.There are a lot of news that can be obtained from this old woman.

Moreover, anyone who has been to a brothel can easily tell the identity of this old woman from her clothes.Where there is a brothel, there will naturally be a bustard, but such an old bustard is still rare.

Everyone was staring at the old woman. Ren Zhiliang had been handling and adjudicating cases for many years. His gaze was like a poisonous snake's snake letter, licking her face all over.

As soon as the old woman looked away from the head catcher, she made eye contact with Ren Zhiliang.

She actually shivered, and hurriedly lowered her head.It looked like she was an ordinary person, as if she was really just a procuress in a brothel.

But before, the owner of the Red Bat Building also seemed to be a brothel owner, but he was a powerful and ruthless killer.

Therefore, with the lessons learned from the past, no one will really regard this woman as a procuress of a brothel.

Ren Zhiliang was still staring at her, and said coldly, "Are you the bustard of the Red Bat Building?"

"Yes." The old bustard's voice was as soft as a mosquito's chirping.It looked a little low-browed and pleasing to the eye.

Ren Zhiliang said, "What are you doing hiding here?"

The madam remained silent.

Ren Zhiliang didn't ask any more questions, but waved his hand.

The two head catchers held long knives and rushed towards the bustard first.

The old bustard watched them step in, stepped aside hurriedly, and dodged into the room, out of everyone's sight.

Without Ren Zhiliang's previous instructions, three of the eight headhunters carried six lanterns, and the bright lights illuminated the whole house like daytime.The two head catchers who entered first put their knives on the old bustard without the slightest resistance, keeping him motionless.

The walls were painted dead black, the ground was also dead black, there were black cloths behind the doors and windows, even the tables, chairs and mattresses were pitch black, the whole place seemed to be in the shadow of death.

In front of the wall opposite the door, there is an altar with a dark veil hanging low. I don't know what is on the altar?
In front of the altar is a sacrificial table with two black tripods and a black basin placed on it.

The black basin is between the two tripods, and there is a large pile of black round cakes.

Ye Chen saw the layout in front of him and let out a sound of surprise. The layout in this room was almost exactly the same as the basement of the tavern beside the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou.

"Brother Li! Go back to my house quickly, tell Bai Canghai the situation here, and let him come here quickly." Ye Chen said to Li Junhao.
