The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 722: Inside the wall outside the wall

Although Su Xingfang rushed forward and let out his grief, it seemed that no more organs were touched, but Sun Shaozong cautiously stayed in the distance until more government officials arrived, and then returned to the alley.

At this time, the six yamen in the arrow were all darkened and screamed--the arrows were obviously painted with poison!

Chen Jingde was terrified after this, relying on the support of others, did not sit down on the ground.

Right now, there is no need for a meat shield. Sun Shaozong naturally didn't bother to care about him. He demanded an iron ruler from a catcher, and then pressed against the root of the wall to the place where the poisonous arrow was shot.

When I took a closer look, I discovered how many holes had been dug out on the soil wall. It was just because it was located deep in the alley and the wall was mottled, so I couldn't find those holes if I didn't get close.

Sun Shaozong tried to poke with an iron ruler, but couldn't get in the hole, so he ordered: "A few people here, go over the wall and take a look to see what organs are arranged inside!"

Seeing the corpses in this place, several yamen nearby seemed a little cowered.

"I come!"

At this moment, I saw Huang Bin coming out more and more, rolling up his robe sleeves neatly, first followed the open door, climbed up the door stack, and then turned over the earth wall from the door stack.

"grown ups!"

That is, just after landing, he heard him exclaiming from behind the wall: "There are actually many hand crossbows behind this!"

Hand crossbow?

Hearing that he was safe and sound from behind, a few government officials turned over. After a short while, they reported to the wall, saying that behind the wall was also a desolate yard. Apart from these crossbows, there were no other organs beside them.

Hearing is fictitious and seeing is believing, Sun Shaozong is preparing to turn over and look at it-the detour is too far-but Su Xingfang is looking for it in tears behind him.

"Master Sun."

I saw him arching his hands, and said with a dumb voice: "Su Mo wanted to see your demeanor, but he never thought that he would kill his uncle."

Having said that, he shook his head slightly, his face becoming more and more bitter: "My mother only has this younger brother, and now she has been in an accident, and she still doesn't know what to make of sadness - Su Mou is really unintentional now, let alone investigating something. The case, we can only say goodbye first."

Hearing his words choked up, Sun Shaozong was also quite upset-he was kind to help, but instead folded his uncle in.

A few words of consolation with the heart, and light and weightless, and finally had to give a deep salute, and solemnly promised: "Brother Su, don't worry, Sun will find out the real culprit, and respect uncle's justice!"

After that, he personally sent Su Xingfang onto the sedan chair, and then returned to the depths of the alley and surpassed the earth wall neatly.

Sure enough, as Huang Bin said, behind the earth wall was a wall full of hand crossbows, and it was still a three-string crossbow.

Sun Shaozong carefully took one to check the scene without destroying the scene, and found that the structure of this thing is very delicate, but the workmanship can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

According to inference, the effective range of this thing is about 20 steps. If three crossbow arrows are used at the same time, the range will be further reduced, and the accuracy of the head cannot be guaranteed.

This should be something produced by a small workshop. Compared with the military-equipped hand crossbows of the same specification, the quality is several grades worse, but in some special circumstances-for example, just now-the power is still considerable.

The murderer even smeared poison on it, which was obviously going to put Sun Shaozong to death!

more importantly……

Not only is it not cheap, but it can't be made in batches in just one or two days-at least in a small, shoddy workshop, there is no such possibility.

In this way, the inference of revenge by the beggar seems to be untenable.

Even if the beggars and security chiefs have the financial resources, it is unlikely that they will be able to purchase many contrabands in advance-knowing that these quantities are enough to be treated with treason!

But since it's not a beggar's revenge, who killed Daoyan's master and apprentice? Who is it?

What was his purpose in killing Tao Yan's master and apprentice?

Sun Shaozong looked at the hand crossbow repeatedly, and couldn't help deducing it, but he couldn't understand it all the time.

At present, it is known that there is a feast with Daoyan master and apprentice, and the ability to arrange so many crossbows, I am afraid that only King Zhongshun is alone.

But the problem is that King Zhongshun has already stabbed this matter in front of the emperor, and there is no need to use such methods anymore...

That's it.

Let's take a look at the scene first to see if there are any traces left.

Sun Shaozong thought so, and began to check the situation of those hand crossbows one by one.

At this time, Huang Bin came up again and pointed to one of them and said: "My lord, you can take a look at this hand crossbow first."

Sun Shaozong followed his instructions, but saw that there was still a hand crossbow that had not been successfully activated on the numerous empty hand crossbows.

Judging by the location of the visit, this should not have been deliberately missed by the murderer, but because the mechanism was flawed, it was not successfully triggered.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong immediately leaned closer and looked closely at the brackets of each hand crossbow, and indeed found some traces of abrasion.

This should be the trace left by something that was once set on it, and when it was triggered, it was pulled severely, causing the crossbow to be fired.

and many more!

If this is the case ~www.readwn.com~ someone must have triggered the mechanism!

Could it be that……

"From the point of view of the villain, the culprit may have been hiding behind this earth wall, otherwise, how could the mechanism be triggered in a timely manner?"

This Huang Bin's idea is somewhat coincident with Sun Shaozong.

but……

Is it really simple?

Sun Shaozong remained silent, checked all the hand crossbows, and then shouted and said: "Vice Chen Si, you learn from the uncle of Suzhi County, where he was standing at the time, say a few words to this alley entrance. test."

Chen Jingde listened to his instructions. Although his legs were still weak, he had to tremble, and walked to the place where the middle-aged corpse had fallen.

"Speak louder!"

"Masters..."

"Loud again!"

"My sirs, it is here!"

In the end, Chen Jingde almost yelled, and finally heard the truth from the earth wall.

"This……"

Huang Bin didn't feel puzzled and said: "When the villain just spread the word, it seems that it is not so difficult."

"That's because you are talking to a wall with holes, and he is talking with his back to the wall, and there is a considerable distance away-if the murderer is really hiding behind the wall, it is not difficult to hear the seductive talking , But it’s not so easy to hear what the other person is saying."

"and……"

Sun Shaozong pointed to the hole in the wall. If he really wanted to hide behind the wall and commit a crime, at least he should make a hole so that he could spy out.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"The person who triggered the mechanism is afraid that it is not inside the wall, but outside the wall - that is, in the alley or in the yard!"
