Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 241 It's Like Walking Into A Grave

As soon as Ye Chen walked in front of these three rooms, he felt a gloomy chill from his back down to the soles of his feet.

Of course Ye Chen is not a timid person, he is never afraid of ghosts and gods.

But when Ye Chen, led by Wang Yizhi's Huo Zhezi, walked into the left one of the three rooms, he himself felt that cold sweat had already flowed out from the soles of his feet.

You know, it is one thing to believe in ghosts and gods, but it is another thing to see whether the scene in front of you will scare you.

The light from the fire pocket was dimmer than candlelight. Under the light of this fire, the room looked like the inside of a tomb.

It was as if he had entered a tomb when he entered the room.

Of course there are coffins in the grave.

There was a coffin in this room, and the coffin was placed on a low platform made of black bricks. In front of the platform, there was a simple spiritual tablet. The tablet simply read: "He Lei, the postman."

Of course He Lei is dead.

But the strange thing is, I don't know if it's because of the gloomy and bleak atmosphere here, or because of some strange and mysterious feeling in Ye Chen's heart, which makes him feel that He Lei will come out of the coffin at any time. Jump out, it will be resurrected at any time.

"Boss Wang, please open the lid of the coffin."

"What did you say?" Wang Yi said strangely, "You want me to open the coffin? Why do you want me to do this?"

"Because I have already told you that what I want to see is a dead person, not a coffin." The reason why He Lei died was probably because he discovered some secret and was killed.Now, of course, the dead can't tell this secret, but sometimes the dead can also 'talk'.During the Red Bat Building incident last year, Ye Chen witnessed with his own eyes how Ren Zhiliang led the Kaifeng Nine Great Gods to get a lot of information from the dead.Ye Chen naturally wanted to see He Lei's body.

In fact, the people from the intelligence department had already carefully looked at He Lei's body secretly without being discovered by Wang Yizhi, and found no useful clues other than confirming that he was killed with a knife.

When the coffin was opened, Ye Chen saw He Lei.

Ye Chen saw the disbelief and fear and resignation that remained on He Lei's face before he died at the first glance.

It is unbelievable because he did not expect to die. There are three situations, one is the most common, that is, he did not expect to die like this, which is difficult to accept.The second is that he didn't expect the person who killed him to be so powerful.The other three are that he did not expect the person who killed him to kill him.

As for fear and resignation, it is even more common. Most of the people who have been killed will have this expression on their faces.

"Are you really his cousin?" Wang Yizhi asked.

Ye Chen didn't speak, because he was still looking for useful information on He Lei.

The wound was on the heart of his chest, a knife wound.A deadly cut, clean and sharp.

Wang Yizhi is undoubtedly a very patient person. How can a person who often faces the dead be impatient?
So Ye Chen didn't answer his question, and he didn't mind.

The corpse in the coffin has been put on a shroud, and the knife edge has been cleaned up.The length of this knife edge is only about three inches. The knife used by the murderer is undoubtedly not a narrow knife, and it is "stabbed" head-on. If it is "cut", the knife edge will be lengthened.

He Lei was originally one of Han Hu's [-] Forbidden Army. Although his martial arts were not very high, he was an elite soldier in all battles. Not everyone could kill him.

Now being stabbed to death from the front by someone, there are two possibilities, one is that this person is very strong in swordsmanship, his martial arts are far superior to He Lei, and He Lei has no power to fight back in front of him.The other is that this person is someone He Lei knows, or even a close friend, and He Lei is not wary of him at all.

He Lei has been in this small town for three months. It is not certain whether he has friends, but it is normal to have acquaintances.

Ye Chen's gaze finally shifted from the knife edge to Wang Yizhi's face.

"Do you know where he died?"

"Of course I know." Wang Yizhi replied, "It was a very dark alley. It was past three o'clock when he died, and there was no light in the alley at that time."

"Who was the first to find his body?"

"It's the little beggar you talked to."

"Where was his body found?"

"It wasn't fully light at that time."

How could that little beggar go to that alley before dawn?What are you going to do? "

"Then I'm not sure."

"Who brought the corpse here?"

"I carried it myself." Wang Yizhi said, "He Lei is a coffin, and he is generous. I think his family or friends will come to collect the body sooner or later. At that time, they will inevitably buy a coffin from me."

He added: "Actually, although He Lei has only been here in our town for three months, he has already made many friends. I think if He Lei really doesn't have family members to collect the body, they will come to replace He Lei. Collect the corpse." Wang Yizhi spoke realistically and frankly, and he did not forget to remind Ye Chen not to forget to collect He Lei's corpse.

But Ye Chen was thinking about another question at this time.He Lei already has many friends in Heiquan Town, and it is very likely that they are very close friends, so that he can stab him head-on under circumstances that he absolutely did not expect.

If so, who is this good friend?
Thoughts turned in Ye Chen's mind. After looking at the wound more carefully, his heart moved, and he asked Wang Yizhi again: "When you brought him here, was the murderous knife that assassinated him still on his heart?"

"How do you know?" Wang Yizhi looked surprised: "How do you know that the knife is still on his body?"

Ye Chen thought I was just guessing, but he said: "The knife wound is between the fifth and sixth ribs, the distance between these two ribs is very close, once the knife stabs in, it is very difficult to pull out the blade. Moreover, the murderer probably assassinated He Lei carelessly for a while. He must have been excited and flustered, and drew the knife hastily. time."

Ye Chen deliberately said in a very calm voice: "Such a knife can only be pulled out by a coffin shop owner like you in a very calm situation."

Wang Yizhi sighed: "Until now I don't know who you are? But I already know that you must be a very remarkable person. I don't know how He Lei was killed, but the knife is indeed I pulled it out with my own hands."

"Where's the knife?" Ye Chen asked.

"Knife?" Wang Yizhi seemed to have completely forgotten what he said just now: "What kind of knife?"

Ye Chen smiled, he remembered the little beggar from before.Of course he knows how to deal with this kind of person.

One word is enough to deal with this kind of person.
-
money.

After a piece of silver was stuffed into Wang Yizhi's hand, Ye Chen asked him the question he had just asked in the blink of an eye, and Wang Yizhi's answer was completely different from before.

"Where's the knife?"

"Of course the knife has been hidden by me."

"Where is it hidden?"

Wang Yi pointed to a white face that seemed to be stiff at first, and finally showed a smiley expression: "I want to hide something, of course it is hidden where others can't find it."

Ye Chen felt more and more that the people in this town he met just now seemed to be very interesting. How should I put it, they are ordinary people, but they don't look like ordinary people.Half of the hundreds of soldiers he dressed up as bodyguards lived in private houses and had close contact with the people in the town. If the people he met were like the people he met, then there might be something wrong with the people in this town .

The lower part of the coffin was made of black stones, a low platform like an altar, and there were actually a few stones that were movable.

Pull out these movable stones, and there is a natural secret hiding place inside.Others don't know that there are movable bricks under this brick platform, nor do they know which bricks they are. It is of course very difficult to find out what is hidden inside.

Wang Yizhi's hand had already reached into the dark hole under the stage. When he retracted his hand, he undoubtedly had an extra knife in his hand.Ye Chen really wanted to see what kind of knife this knife could kill He Lei head-on.

The knife was taken out, it was indeed a thin knife that was very convenient to hide on the body.But Ye Chen frowned when he saw the knife.Because he knows a knife, this knife is owned by every member of the intelligence department of the Huaxia Weifu. This is the knife that Ye Chen and Li Junhao decided for the intelligence department after research.

This knife is of course He Lei's own, he died by his own knife.

Ye Chen took the knife, and his heart moved. He remembered that he accidentally discovered that his eyes could see fingerprints clearly a few days ago, so he looked carefully at the handle of the knife, and there were indeed fingerprints on it. Ye Chen smiled slightly. Even the most cunning and cautious killer would never think of removing his fingerprints.

Ye Chen smiled and put the knife into his arms.His smile is full of joy, with a confident smile that sees through the truth of something.

This smile was seen by Wang Yizhi, and also by someone in the dark.

The hearts of these two people jumped at the same time. Of course they have recognized Ye Chen. Although Ye Chen's disguise mask is very delicate, and his identity on the bright side is flawless, Ye Chen is undoubtedly the number one concerned person in the temple. The hall can be passed on for hundreds of years, and has the power to subvert a country. It has made the Song court helpless for so many years, and naturally has some methods that ordinary Jianghu masters cannot imagine.

If other people showed such a smile, they would definitely think it was hypocrisy, but Ye Chen's magic and reputation for creating miracles, the two had to believe it, and dared not believe it.

Of course, Ye Chen also knew that the person he was looking for would definitely recognize him. This was a plan Ye Chen made. He personally investigated through carefully concealed identities, and then aroused the vigilance or even panic of the enemy during the investigation process. Take a shot at him, so as to expose the enemy's flaws and find clues.
