Sitting in the office room of the commander of the Jinyiwei, as the office space of the number one leader of the Jinyiwei, it is very elegantly set up here, which is much more spacious than the office room of the Assistant Mansion that Liu Chengfeng used to be.
Liu Chengfeng sat cross-legged on the couch, drank tea, and his face calmed down a lot...
Li Dongdong sat on the chair under the couch, looked at Liu Chengfeng worriedly, and then said, "Sir, Zhou Cheng's case is not only strange, but also too time is too time. The Lord said just now that Your Majesty is seriously ill now and knows that there is not much time. In this situation, I am afraid that I am already considering the successor of the new king. Such a thing happens at this critical moment, which will cause a big disaster."
Liu Chengfeng looked at Li Dongdong and said, "So I ask Your Majesty to let me go for some time. No matter what, you must find out the murderer. Chapter 631: It's extremely vicious. Only in this way can you prove your innocence. Mr. Li, to be honest, there are many people in the capital now looking at my jokes. How do you think this case should be investigated?"
Li Dongdong narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "There are not many people who can have this ability. The lord said just now that the emperor was seriously ill, but he deliberately concealed the news. Even my brother was hiding it in the dark. There must be no more than ten people who can know this news in the palace, but the murderer behind the scenes must have known this news. The reason is very simple. If His Majesty had not been seriously ill, even if he killed Zhou Chengman's family, it would never have any impact on the lord in a short period of time. With the lord's holy family, it only takes enough time to slowly eliminate the suspicion in the palace. They chose this time point, which means that they knew earlier than others that the emperor had been seriously ill and had not had much time. In this case, in order to maintain the country, let alone brothers can be killed, let alone the monarch and ministers?"
Liu Chengfeng nodded in thought. Li Dongdong said nothing wrong. The person who murdered him behind the scenes must know the news. So, is this person from the palace? Or is there a confidant in the palace to find out the news for him?
But the palace can know Zhu Chapter 631: There are only a few people who are extremely vicious and ill. While knowing the news of Your Majesty’s serious illness, they can also organize warriors to kill people. I am afraid that only Xiao Jing!
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes. Yes, this person is definitely possible. This person is unfathomable. His relationship with him cannot be too good or too bad. The most important thing is that this person has a great conflict of interest with him and can mobilize so many people.
In this way... this person is Xiao Jing.
When Li Dongdong saw Liu Chengfeng, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you suspicious of Xiao Jing?"
Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said, "I don't have a clue yet, so I can't say I'm suspicious of anyone, but this Xiao Jing is quite consistent with the characteristics of the murderer."
Li Dongdong said: "And Liu Ji, I'm afraid the suspicion is not small."
Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Liu Ji has the greatest motivation, but it is probably difficult for him to send so many warriors to him. But this person should also pay attention."
The two of them talked for a while, and then Chen Hongyu led a coroner over, who fell to the ground and said, "Sir, the body has been tested."
Liu Chengfeng asked, "Tell me."
The coroner nodded and said, "The total number of people who were killed was 76, most of whom were injured by sharp blades. Judging from the incisions of the knife wounds, these knives are standard long swords, which should have been made by the supervised bureau. In addition, there was another person who was killed by a musket. Iron sand directly killed him in close proximity to the door and died immediately."
"Care to the close range?"
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help asking.
"That's right. It should be within a radius of one meter, because a lot of iron sand has penetrated through the skull hole. If it weren't for close-range killing, it would never have been possible to pass through the skull."
"Who was killed by a musket?"
"This person is Zhou Cheng's hospital guard, a leader, and Zhou Cheng's confidant, named Zhou Yan."
Liu Chengfeng began to think about it. He was killed by a musket at close range. You should know that even if the musket had been loaded with gunpowder in advance, it was not easy to fire it. Not only did it take a lot of time, but in front of the guardians, did the other party not notice that the musket was fired at such a close range?
If it were under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would never happen. Liu Chengfeng continued to ask: "Zhou Yan had traces of struggle before he died."
The reason why he asked this was to know whether this guard named Zhou Yan was subdued before being killed by a musket and could not move. Only in this way can he reasonably explain this doubt.
The coroner shook his head and said, "Sir, the villain has carefully checked it. There is no trace of struggle in this guardhouse called Zhou Yan. His bones are intact. No one seems to be subduing him."
Liu Chengfeng's face felt even more strange, but now he could only let this matter go first, and then continued: "What else is there to doubt?"
The coroner said: "There are nothing surprising about the others, but these murderers are too cruel, and they don't even let go of the baby in the cradle..."
Liu Chengfeng interrupted him and said, "You go down and check it out to see if there are any missing points."
After saying that, Liu Chengfeng stood up and said to Li Dongdong: "The suspicion that the coroner said is really strange, but what is certain is that the other party clearly wants to frame me. You stay here and see if there is any news. It seems that I have to go to Jingxian."
Originally, Liu Chengfeng did not plan to go to Jingxian County, but the suspicious point he found now forced Liu Chengfeng to go there. The other party used a musket, and the musket was an extremely strict control in the Ming Dynasty, but a group of assassins used this weapon. Apart from frame-up, Liu Chengfeng really couldn't think of anything else?
The reason is very simple. In the Ming Dynasty, whenever I think of muskets, I can't help but think of Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng has always advocated that muskets defeat the enemy, and has always advocated that muskets are the magic weapon to defeat the enemy in the future. Such a thing on the scene naturally makes Liu Chengfeng more suspicious. In fact, using muskets from this era to assassinate others is a stupid thing. Assassination is originally a matter of speed, while close-range killing is the fastest way. But muskets from this era have a big disadvantage, that is, the procedures required for firing are very complicated. Moreover, close-range killing is even more strange. Anyone will be wary of playing muskets within ten feet of his mouth when someone approaches him. However, this guard who was killed by muskets not only has no signs of resistance, but even acts extremely normal before he dies.
Weird... so weird...
This is the reason why Liu Chengfeng decided to go to Beijing County where the crime occurred. It is precisely because the murdered person's death was strange that he had the intention to explore.
After Liu Chengfeng finished saying that, Chen Hongyu said, "Sir, you are going to Jingxian County. Let's go with you."
Liu Chengfeng nodded, then asked someone to prepare horses, and took Chen Hongyu, Gao Qiang and dozens of people to pass Chaoyang Gate quickly. Instead of walking on the road, he rushed towards the almost deserted official road.
In fact, the capital is not far from Jing County. Because the crime is located in the suburbs of the county bordering Jing County and Jing County, the real distance is only a few dozen miles. If you rush to the horse, it will only take more than an hour to arrive.
There are already weeds here, because there is no one to keep, and it is very rare. There are already many Jinyiwei and Jingxian servants on the road. Wang Sili personally led people to set up a forbidden area here, which no one is allowed to pass. When Liu Chengfeng arrived, the captain on the periphery recognized him and knelt down on one knee to salute. After Liu Chengfeng got off the horse, he tied his horse to a tree next to the road, stepped on the weeds and looked at both sides of the road.
This is indeed an excellent place for ambushing, because there are dense woods on both sides of this road, and there is obviously no people in front and behind the road. Occasionally, some tea sheds can be seen, but it must have been abandoned because there is no business trip.
Liu Chengfeng walked into the restricted area with his people. It was actually almost destroyed. After the incident, the people from Shuntian Prefecture said that people from Jingxian had also come and all the bodies had been moved. If they had not observed carefully, no one would have thought that there had been a killing here.
Walking on the weeds, Liu Chengfeng saw a lot of blood, but the blood was dry and dark purple. If you don’t identify it carefully, some people will think it is an unknown bush. Walking forward a little further, you can see some crooked traces of the weeds. This is obviously not trampled with boots, but it should be caused by someone’s body rolling over.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was here, Wang Sili hurriedly brought two hundred households to salute. Wang Sili said, "Why are you here in person?"
Liu Chengfeng stood up from the grass and clapped his hands, but did not answer Wang Sili's question, and asked back: "How? What did you find?"
Wang Sili said seriously, "I'm a little confused." He pointed to the forest on the left and said, "Those assassins must have been ambushed in that forest, where there are traces of burying pots and making rice. From these, these assassins should have received the news a day ago, and they were ambushed here in advance, eating and using food. There are a lot of feces on the east side of the forest. Not only that, but there are also many traces of tents..."
Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "So, they have already known the route of Zhou Cheng?"
Wang Sili also frowned and nodded, "From this point, it is indeed the case."
