When Bush arrived, Mangtai's people had already searched the Balan Mansion.

Naturally, Mangtai would not miss this opportunity presented to him. Unfortunately, he did not find anything useful, which made him feel quite empty.

It can also be seen from this that Buribalan was not highly used, presumably because Bush disliked him for being too mediocre.

The two border town marshals met in Balan Mansion, and everything went well.

Half an hour later, Mangtai's urgently transferred servants from the army arrived. Gude also finished interrogating all the maids in Baihuayuan, and brought over Ke Po and two maids. Mangtai resigned from Bulu Shi.

, took people straight to Lanshe.

These slaves came to identify the body.

The heads, hands and feet of the three deceased persons had been chopped off and were missing. It was difficult to identify who was who just based on their bare and bloody bodies.

And Mangtai has always been very at ease with Hua Zhen. The entire back house is managed by his beloved daughter. He rarely asks about it. Even if he occasionally asks, those slaves are never in his sight. Until the incident happened

Later, he was shocked to realize that the name list and the number of slaves in Baihuayuan did not match up. At this time, he wanted to investigate, but there was no way to investigate.

At this moment, Mangtai actually felt a little regretful.

Although he never showed it.

However, anyone who knows him well can see that he is far less calm today than in the past, and there is obvious anxiety in his eyebrows.

When he arrived at the scene of the crime and saw the river of blood, Mang Tai's face became increasingly gloomy.

It stands to reason that the strong smell of blood should have been smelled by people long ago, but it was just a coincidence that these monasteries were all lit with "Qianli Incense". This incense was so overbearing that no one nearby knew about it.

A murder had occurred, and he didn't scream until he saw the blood seeping from the crack in the door.

"Commander Qi, because the corpse is so mutilated, many things cannot be determined. What I will say next is just my own speculation, which may not be accurate. I hope you will forgive me, Marshal."

Half an hour later, in Meishe, not far from Lanshe, the man bowed and reported to Mang Tai.

This place was guarded by Mangtai's personal guards, and there was no fear of anyone else spying on him, but his voice was still very low.

"I forgive you, Commander." Mang Tai looked at him with a very focused expression, obviously waiting for his next words.

Wu Zuo bowed again and then continued: "According to my subordinates, there is only one murderer, and he is a martial arts master. He first killed the woman next to the door and slit her throat with a knife.

After inspection by subordinates, it was found that this woman was relatively strong or had some martial arts skills, and her bones were thicker and harder than those of ordinary people. Unfortunately, her hands and feet were chopped off, so it was impossible to verify it in detail.

The two women behind the fan should have died after this woman. The subordinates found similar scars on the same position on their back shoulders, which looked like fist prints or palm prints, but there were no scars on the shoulder of the woman next to the door.

Judging from the size of the scars, the murderer was probably a man of average height. However, since there were no footprints of the murderer on the ground, and most of the footprints around the house were blown away by wind and dust, this is just a guess by my subordinates.

, does not necessarily count.

Judging from the injuries and clothing of the two women behind the fan, the murderer knocked them unconscious first, then tied them up with their clothes belts and gagged them. The subordinates found the knotted clothes belts under the bed and were stained with stains.

Thick cloth with saliva.

Next, my subordinates guessed that the murderer probably asked some questions, and then he killed these two people, again with a knife to cut their throats. The murder weapon was this short knife."

Having said this, Wuzuo presented the belt, a rag wrapped in a ball and a short knife that had been found.

The blade of the short knife was polished extremely sharp, but at this time it was slightly curled, the tip of the knife had disappeared, and the blade was covered with blood stains.

"The murderer did not use this knife very smoothly. According to what my subordinates saw, it may not be the murderer's usual weapon, but it was found somewhere temporarily.

Because the knife was a little short, when the murderer cut off the head, hands and feet, the murderer used a lot of force. The blade curled and the tip of the knife broke. The subordinate just found the broken tip of the knife next to the old woman's body.

The reason why the subordinates believed that the murderer was highly skilled in martial arts was because they had just listened to the confession relayed by the major general. The servants said that after the seventh lady led people into Lanshe, until everyone discovered the dead body, no sound was heard in Lanshe.

come out.

It can be seen that the murderer killed one person and knocked out two others in an instant. The subordinate thought that except for martial arts masters, no one in the world could do this."

As soon as Wu Zuo's words stopped, Gude Nadan took two steps forward, picked up the short knife that had lost its tip in his hand, looked at the light for a while, then turned around and reported to Mang Tai in a low voice: "Father,

It is our weapon."

Mangtai took the short knife with a sullen face, and saw that the pattern of wolf's tooth grass was faintly visible on the handle. He couldn't help but close his eyes. The wolf head tattoo on his forehead also drooped with this movement, and it looked like there was something there.

A bit tired.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said hoarsely: "It should be the weapon used by the real female guard."

There are two female guards sent by Mangtai to Huazhen. The weapons they use are also commonly used by the guards of Shuai Mansion, and their symbol is mace. The short knife in front of you is more delicate than the short knife used by men. It is obviously a female guard.

Belong.

"Are you sure this is the murder weapon?" Gude turned to look at the man with suspicion in his eyes.

The guards of the Balan Mansion were the first to arrive at Lanshe. They had enough time to do anything. It was impossible to say that the real murder weapon had been hidden by them, but they left the dagger used by the Shuai Mansion at the scene to confuse their sight.

.

This suspicion is very reasonable, but Zuo Zuo's answer is very insistent: "Back to the Major General, my subordinates carefully compared the wounds on the corpse with the dagger. It is the murder weapon."

Mangtai didn't speak.

He brought this work from Changli, the imperial capital. The person who made it was originally a workman from the Changli Prefecture. It was a craft passed down from his ancestors and he was very experienced. He trusted the other party's judgment.

At this time, the man said again: "It seems that the murderer knew that the woman at the door was a guard, so he killed her as soon as he came up. The subordinates thought that the murderer either had extraordinary eyesight or knew about her early on.

Identity, or just stepped on it in advance."

After saying this, Wu Zuo bowed, bent down and stepped aside.

It would be inconvenient to examine a corpse without its head, hands and feet, not to mention that the three deceased were members of the commander's family. Even if they were just lowly slaves, they were not something a lowly soldier in the army could take a look at.

In fact, except for the old woman, the two bodies of the other two young women were not examined carefully, for fear that they would get into trouble if they saw something they shouldn't.

However, he still dutifully added one last sentence: "Commander, my skills are low, I'm afraid the test is not accurate enough. I remember that the government office has special medical women, they should be more experienced than me

Some."

Mangtai understood his intention, nodded, and waved his hand to order him to go down.
