Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 147 Monster Beast
Di Renjie looked at the horseshoe print and frowned: "Jing Yang, isn't this the horseshoe print?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "Look, how big is this horse's hoof print, I think, this is probably not something that ordinary horses can leave, it is probably a BMW!"

Di Renjie didn't speak, and became thoughtful.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zeng Tai came over: "Men, have you found anything?"

Di Renjie raised his head and asked, "When did you receive the report?"

Zeng Tai said: "It was around the time of Chenpai. After receiving the report, the students sent people to block the official road."

Di Renjie nodded: "The time of the incident was between Yin and Mao in the early morning of this morning."

Zeng Tai wondered, "Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, tell me!"

Wang Mang nodded slightly, pointed to two clear ruts on the ground, and said, "Brother Zeng, look, these are the ruts left by the carriage the deceased was riding in!"

Zeng Tai nodded.

Wang Mang said: "Judging from the current situation on the road, the traces left by the carriage of the deceased are the clearest. This shows that no other vehicles passed by during the period from the incident to the report."

Zeng Tai asked, "Why?"

Wang Mang said: "If other vehicles passed by after the incident, the ruts of the deceased's carriage must have been covered by other ruts. But now it seems that, on the contrary, the ruts of the deceased's carriage covered other ruts."

Zeng Tai nodded: "So that's the case!"

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang is right. In this way, we can be sure that from the incident to the report, there were no other vehicles on this road except for the deceased's carriage. Then, this official road leads directly to the capital of God. It is usually very Busy, when is there no traffic on the road?"

Zeng Tai hesitated for a while, and said, "After the gates of Shendu are closed, there will be no vehicles on the road."

Wang Mang asked, "Then, Brother Zeng, when will the gates of the city of God be closed?"

Zeng Tai said: "According to common sense, the gates of the city of Shendu are closed at the end of Chou and opened at the hour of Chen."

Wang Mang asked back: "Aren't the two hours in the middle the Yin time and the Mao time?"

Zeng Tai slapped his forehead: "It makes sense, what Jing Yang said is very true!"

Di Renjie said: "Now, we can conclude that the crime happened between these two hours."

Zeng Tai nodded repeatedly.

But suddenly, as if he remembered something, he shook his head again: "That's not right... Teacher, does it make any sense?"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Zeng Tai said: "Since the city gate has been closed, why did the deceased rush to the capital? Even if he arrived, he couldn't open the city gate. I'm afraid this kind of behavior is unreasonable?"

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Di Renjie looked at Zeng Tai and smiled calmly: "Good question. So, what do you think?"

Zeng Tai pondered for a long time, then shook his head: "I also ask my mentor to enlighten me."

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang.

Wang Mang said: "The reason is very simple, that is, the dead have a way to open the city gate and enter the city."

Zeng Tai was taken aback: "So simple?"

Di Renjie patted Zeng Tai on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes, the most incredible things are often the simplest."

Zeng Tai lowered his head in shame: "It's the students who are stupid!"

Wang Mang comforted: "Brother Zeng, you don't have to be like this. Everyone has their own bad side. Brother Zeng, I really admire your ability to govern! If you let me come, it must be a mess!"

Only then did Zeng Tai feel better.

Di Renjie smiled, and beckoned to Zeng Tai: "Look at these three rows of horseshoe prints."

Zeng Tai walked over quickly, and sure enough there were three rows of hoof prints on the road.

Di Renjie pointed to the two rows on the left and said, "These are left by the two horses of the deceased."

Zeng Tai nodded.

Di Renjie pointed to a row of hoofprints as big as a sea bowl on the right side of the road and said, "This row is the hoofprints left by the murderer's horse."

Zeng Tai was startled, "Oh?"

Di Renjie walked to the center of the official road, and said while demonstrating: "I think, the thing is like this. At the end of the day today, the deceased took a car to Shendu, and there was a sound of horseshoes behind him. The murderer flew to the side of the car and killed the coachman.

The method of killing is very simple, and the head falls to the ground with one blow.

The people in the car heard the sound and opened the curtain, saw the driver's body, and jumped out of the car in shock..."

As he said that, Di Renjie led Zeng Tai and Wang Mang to the ridge of the wheat field along the rut. He pointed to the overturned soil beside the road and said, "This person's body fell here, and then he turned over and ran towards the field." go……"

He pointed to a row of horseshoe prints next to the footprints and said: "The murderer rode on a horse and chased after him, killing him before the stele."

Zeng Tai let out a long breath: "That's right!"

Suddenly, Wang Mang turned his head and found that beside the official road in the distance, Li Yuanfang was taking big strides, as if measuring something.

Wang Mang pulled Di Renjie, and Di Renjie turned his head to look.

Li Yuanfang was walking forward with the biggest stride. After taking four or five steps, he stopped suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he said softly: "No, absolutely not!"

"What isn't it?"

Li Yuanfang turned around, Wang Mang, Di Renjie and Zeng Tai were standing behind him.

Li Yuanfang pointed to a row of hoofprints on the ground as big as a sea bowl, and said, "My lord, what do you think of this row of hoofprints?"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Jing Yang also told me about the horseshoe prints just now. I think this is the mount the murderer was riding on, and Jing Yang thinks it is a BMW!"

"is horse?"

Li Yuanfang was full of disbelief.

Seeing Li Yuanfang's reaction, Di Renjie was stunned: "Of course it's a horse. What else can be used as a mount besides a horse?"

Li Yuanfang smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "My lord, I'm sorry to say that the murderer's mount is definitely not a horse!"

Di Renjie was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Wang Mang frowned: "If it's not a horse, it can be a monster!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Oh? Jing Yang, you are really right!"

Zeng Tai exclaimed: "General Li, could it be..."

Di Renjie interrupted Zeng Tai with a wave of his hand, and his eyes turned to Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Although Humble Job is not a great expert on horses, he still knows a thing or two.

There are many kinds of horses in the world, with Western Region horses and Mongolian horses as the top grades. These two kinds of horses are also the largest horse breeds in the world.

Horses from the Western Regions are strong, majestic and tall, and are generally used as guards of honor in the army.

Mongolian horses are slightly smaller, but they are physically strong and have excellent short-distance sprint ability. Therefore, they are used as cavalry in the army.

But this row of hoof prints is terrible, the horse's hoof is as big as a sea bowl, twice as big as the horse's hoof of a horse from the Western Regions!Just now I measured the distance between the hoof prints, my lord, look..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the space between the hoof prints and said, "This thing has such a wide stride, which is more than one and a half times that of a war horse. This is impossible!"

Di Renjie took a breath: "You mean...?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "As far as I know, there is no horse in the world today that can take such huge strides!"

Zeng Tai was incoherent in surprise: "No, it's not a horse, what is that?"

Li Yuanfang said: "I don't know. Unless..."

Di Renjie asked, "Unless what?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Unless, as Jing Yang said, it's a monster."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a muffled thunder rolled across the sky, and Di Renjie and Zeng Tai took a step back in shock.

Wang Mang raised his head. At this time, the sky was dark, and the "rumbling" thunder kept ringing.
