Chapter 179: Hindsight (Second update)
In the Red Sleeve Courtyard, a large number of officials gathered around them aggressively early in the morning.
The stewards held money in their sleeves and wanted to go up and accommodate them, hoping that they would not scare the patrons who were rising in the short spring night. After all, they were sleeping soundly after a night of lingering. If they were surprised by the officials, , that would be a great sin.
"There is someone on top of our Hongxiu Courtyard!" The steward yelled loudly while blocking the officials, thinking of using the stick first and then the carrot. This kind of operation is a tried and true method everywhere.
"Who is above you?" A man walked out from behind the officer and said in a low voice.
The steward was about to shout, but then he saw the man's face and immediately knelt down with a plop: "Fu, Mr. Futai, why are you here in person?" "You mean, I didn't come to Hongxiu Zhao before
. Did you come in person?" Zhou Dunru said coldly.
The butler could only slap himself hard in the face: "Look at my bad mouth, Master Futai, what are you doing here?" "Coming at night has a place to go at night, and coming during the day
also has a reason for daytime." Zhou Dunru looked at it The steward who slapped him in front of him sneered: "No need to fight, get up."
When the steward stepped aside and thanked him repeatedly, Zhou Dunru turned around and looked at Mr. Zhao Da, who was dressed in black: "Let's go, if I hadn't done it myself Come on, most people can’t enter this Hongxiu Courtyard.”
Mr. Zhao Da nodded.
The two people, surrounded by officers and soldiers, entered the Red Sleeve Courtyard where Shang Jiuge and others had lived at night.
"Who originally belonged to this villa?" After Zhou Dunru entered, he saw that the originally elegantly decorated room on the first floor was messed up by a thunderbolt. The smell of alcohol overflowed, and there was also a faint smell of gunpowder smoke and various wood chips. Iron pieces were scattered everywhere in the room.
"Shanxi Sheng family." Mr. Zhao Da said lightly: "To be precise, it belongs to Sheng Junqian, the son of the Sheng family." "
Sheng family." Zhou Dunru nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "Sheng Junqian is you. That Sheng Junqian mentioned last night?"
"Who is it if it's not him?" Mr. Zhao Da said coldly.
"But it seems that this place was attacked last night." As he said this, Zhao Jing walked around: "There is no blood left, which means that at least no one was injured here last night." "But where are the people?" Zhou Dunru couldn't help
but asked.
"If someone throws a bomb into you in the Yamen, will you continue to sleep there until dawn the next day?" Zhao Jing raised his head and said sarcastically: "Let's take a look upstairs." The second person in this small
building Floor, they saw the neatly cut window lattice.
The windows that were originally separated by wooden lattice were accurately cut into ninety-nine and eighty-one pieces.
Scattered all over the floor.
"There are no signs of fighting here." Zhao Jing continued: "But someone was tied here."
As he said this, he pointed to the rope on the ground.
"And." Zhao Jing pointed to the footprints left on the table: "The direction of the footprints is inward, indicating that someone broke through the window directly from the outside and entered." "Judging from the size of the footprints, the person who came should
be a woman."
Zhou Dunru looked at it. Looking out the window, he saw that there was no place to stand outside the window. He couldn't help but ask: "If she broke through from the window, how did she get in?" "Can she really fly?" "No need to
fly
. "Zhao Jing shook his head and said, "As long as the qinggong is good enough."
"What does qinggong mean to be good enough?" Zhou Dunru couldn't help but ask.
"Third-level masters who specialize in light kung fu, or second-level masters and above."
At this moment, a man in black from six doors downstairs came up and handed over his hand: "Report to Mr. Zhao Da, the drinks on the ground on the first floor The food has been tested and found to be poisonous and highly toxic."
Zhao Jing nodded and waved his hand: "Go down."
"By now, the matter is almost clear." Zhao Jing said.
"How do you understand?" Zhou Dunru asked.
"Shang Jiuge and Sheng Junqian stayed here last night. Then they ordered a banquet and ate and drank. They didn't expect that someone had poisoned the food and wine." "So when the assassination came
, , they have no power to resist, which is why there is no blood on the first floor." "
Because there was no resistance at all, and the poison will not see blood." Zhao Jing analyzed.
"But I heard that there is a poison that bleeds from all seven orifices?" Zhou Dunru whispered.
"What did you say?" Zhao Jing asked.
Zhou Dunru quickly shook his head: "No, I didn't say anything. You continue." "
After they were caught, someone was taken away directly. I think it was Shang Jiuge, and Sheng Junqian might also be included." "
But there is one person . The individual was a nobody, so he was taken to the second floor and interrogated and tortured." Zhao Jing analyzed.
"Then who was the person who broke in through the window?" Zhou Dunru couldn't help but ask, "Isn't their target Shang Jiuge?" "
Isn't Shang Jiuge already taken away?"
Zhao Jing felt a little stuck for a moment.
Yes, if Shang Jiuge has been captured, the mission is completed, and there is only one unknown person being tortured upstairs, then why are there still signs of someone breaking in from the outside.
"Wait, let me think about it again, let me think about it again."
Zhao Jing paced in place for two weeks, then went downstairs to investigate again, then continued upstairs and sat on the ground to meditate.
"That's right!"
Zhao Jing slapped his thigh.
"Have you thought of it again?" Zhou Dunru looked at Zhao Jing.
"Yes." Zhao Jing nodded: "The person who carried out the assassination this time was the Silver Bee Assassin of the Hive. Both of them were famous before joining the Hive." "The Hive Assassin has always been a man and a woman who perform tasks together, and one is
responsible for the assassination. They are called Bee Stings, and one is responsible for coordination and assistance, called Bee Wings." "
Because the personalities of Bee Stings and Bee Wings tend to complement each other, the success rate of assassination is also greatly improved." "
And this time, if I guessed correctly, Those poisons on the first floor were poisoned by Wei Tianyao, a pharmacist with hundreds of bee stings. He is a well-known poison master in the world." "
And the thunder thrown behind was thrown by Lei Yunniang in the cloud." "
They are The assassin sent by Beehive to kill Shang Jiuge."
"In this case, it makes sense."
Zhou Dunru looked at Zhao Jing's determined expression: "Then tell me, has Shang Jiuge been captured? "
Is he dead now?"
"Since you said, Shang Jiuge's life and death are very important to today's martial arts world."
Zhao Jing nodded: "Of course Shang Jiuge is not dead."
"Not only is he not dead, but he is tied up Wei Tianyao has gone, and Yun Niang has gone."
Zhou Dunru looked at Zhao Jing: "How come you said it is the same as what you saw with your own eyes?"
"Because the original appearance of the crime deduced from the scene should be as if it were seen with one's own eyes." Zhao Jing said matter-of-factly.
"Let me ask you." Zhao Jing sat on the floor and looked up at Zhou Dunru.
"If you are Yun Niang..."
Zhou Dunru interrupted Zhao Jing directly: "I am not Yun Niang!"
