Chapter 1138: Gunshots in the Jungle
In fact, at this point, Officer Ma can only believe me, he is not sure that the murderer will appear, and he is eager to solve the case, believe that I still have a chance, immediately nodded and agreed, and took me to find the prince.
By the time we touched the roof of the building where the princes were located, the funeral procession had already left the church and slowly drove along the road outside to the Xishan Royal Mausoleum.
Xishan Royal Cemetery is a royal exclusive cemetery, only members of the royal family are eligible to be buried there, legend has it that it was a feng shui master to help choose the address, feng shui is excellent, belongs to the best feng shui treasure land.
Because of the Xishan Royal Mausoleum, the nearby land is also worth a thousand gold, and all the dignitaries and nobles in the past generations have not wanted to buy a cemetery in Xishan as a burial place after death, and get a little royal nobility.
Hou Junjue was quite surprised to see me, and he didn't know whether to greet me or not, or if I took the initiative to raise my hand to greet Hou Junjue.
Officer Ma commented that his social status was much lower than that of Hou Junjue, and he also took the initiative to say hello to Hou Junjue.
Then I told Hou Junjue about the situation, and mentioned that the focus was on Murong Hang and his son, Hou Junjue agreed with my point of view on the spot, and immediately asked his subordinates to prepare the car and prepare to follow the funeral procession to the Xishan Royal Mausoleum.
Hou Junjue immediately communicated with the person in charge of the military and police at the scene, and when the car was ready, we quickly rushed downstairs, and then drove the car to catch up with the funeral procession and mixed in the funeral convoy.
Murong Hang and his son, as well as the princess's parents, brothers and sisters, sat in two cars behind the princess's coffin, the front one was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and there were many flowers on the car, and only Murong Hang and his son, as well as a personal bodyguard, were in the same car.
According to Hou Junjue, that bodyguard is a disciple of Taipingguan, and his strength is absolutely extraordinary, and more than ten ordinary people are not his opponents.
In addition, Murong Hang's car is an exclusive customized bulletproof car, and ordinary guns cannot cause harm to the people in the car.
I heard Lord Hou's words and said, "In this way, if the gangsters want to do it halfway, the chances of success are not very great. ”
Hou Junjue said: "So our focus can be placed on the royal mausoleum." ”
I nodded, agreeing with Lord Waiting's words.
The speed of the convoy is not slow, all the way through the streets and alleys, which has attracted the attention of countless citizens, many citizens stand on the side of the street and stop to watch, pointing at the marching convoy, and discussing.
Some are discussing the truth about the assassination of the princess, and many citizens are beginning to suspect that the mastermind behind the murder of the princess may be a member of the royal family.
The prince was also in the convoy, and on the way he made a phone call to Lord Hou, who reported to the prince and said that I was with him, but the prince obviously did not want to have anything to do with us at such a time and did not talk to me alone.
All the way to the Xishan Royal Mausoleum, as the distance from the Xishan Royal Mausoleum got closer and closer, my nerves became more and more tense.
First, because the murderer has not yet appeared, if he does not act today, my plan to take this opportunity to clear his name will be frustrated.
Second, according to our inference, the most likely time for the murderer to shoot was after the convoy arrived at the cemetery, after Murong Hang and his son got out of the car, they lost the fragile time of the car's protection, in that case, that means that the murderer is very likely to do it.
Officer Ma watched me very closely, and did not relax his surveillance of me for a moment, after all, if I escaped, he would be responsible.
Finally, the Xishan Royal Mausoleum is in sight.
The Xishan Royal Mausoleum is located on the West Mountain, there is a river in front of the mountain, the river is not turbulent, it is crystal clear, and you can even see fish and shrimp swimming in the river.
On both sides of the hill where the Xishan Royal Mausoleum is located, there are two smaller hills, which arch and guard the hill where the Royal Mausoleum is located.
The royal mausoleum is enclosed with a tall wall, the wall is four or five meters high, and the white wall looks like the Great Wall built on the mountain from a distance, which is quite majestic and magnificent.
There is no lack of greenery inside the wall, and the trees are covered with majestic tombstones, and if the cemetery is open to the public, it is definitely a very good sight.
There are two huge stone lions standing at the gate, and the protection of the cemetery is also directly responsible for the royal guard Shenwei Battalion, that is to say, this is also the scope of responsibility of Hou Yibai, the son of Hou Junju.
Before the convoy arrived at the gate, the closed iron gate slowly opened, making a piercing sound, and the guards of the Shenwei Battalion were fully armed, standing tall and majestic, showing a solemn atmosphere unique to the royal family.
The clatter of horses' hooves still came from the front, and pulling the coffin in a carriage was also a tradition held by the royal family.
The carriages were expensive, and most of the body structures were made of gold, which would be worth a fortune if they were to be sold.
After the car door opened, we followed the motorcade into the Royal Mausoleum, and the moment I entered the cemetery, I clearly felt the difference between the inside and the outside.
The inside of the cemetery is obviously more shady, and there is even a feeling of coldness.
The towering trees on both sides are extremely vigorous because they are well protected, and the canopy is dense, like a big umbrella propped up over the road.
Heading all the way in, we finally reached the hillside, where the convoy stopped and we got out of the car.
Hou Junjue looked at the team in front of him and said, "Xiao Kun, the murderer has not appeared yet, will it not appear today?" ”
I looked around to see if there was a good place to hide.
In fact, the terrain is more complicated, with dense woods on both sides and the graves of other royals, so there are plenty of places for the gangsters to hide.
At the moment, he said: "Lord Marquis, I think the surroundings should be investigated, and no place within a radius of a few hundred meters should be let go." ”
Hou Junjue nodded, then beckoned one of his subordinates to come over, whispered a few words, and the subordinate of Hou Junjue turned back, and according to Hou Junjue's instructions, divided his men into several teams to investigate the surrounding terrain.
I said: "It is very likely that the murderer will not be found in the surrounding investigation, and our focus should still be on Murong Hang's father and son." ”
Lord Hou nodded in agreement with my words.
Later, while the prince's men were surveying the surroundings, we followed the army forward to watch the burial of the princess.
The coffin had been unloaded from the carriage, and sixteen men lifted it up and walked towards the pit dug in front of it.
At this time, the princess's parents finally couldn't stop crying, especially the princess's mother.
Murong Hang stood on the edge of the cemetery, his face was dark, his eyes were full of hatred, he wanted to kill the murderer and avenge his wife.
Murong Hang's son was still young, and he didn't know anything at all, just crying and making trouble on the side.
I watched the coffin about to fall into the dug pit, and I was nervous like never before, would the murderer do it?
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the woods, and the scene was in chaos, and countless women screamed and panicked everywhere.
The burial ceremony was temporarily suspended, and Murong Hang looked around, but did not give orders.
Hou Yibai was next to the queen and ordered loudly on the spot: "Quick, go and see what the situation is!" ”
Emperor Zhengming did not come today, under normal circumstances, he should have attended, and the reason why he did not come may be because his condition is very serious, and he has reached the point where he cannot hold on to the funeral scene.
The guards of the Shenwei Battalion at the scene, as well as the soldiers and policemen who had been dispatched, began to rush to the place where the gunshots came from.
Lord Hou shouted, "The murderer has appeared! After saying that, he also wanted to follow the large army to search for him.
I hurriedly stopped Hou Junjue and said, "Lord Marquis, don't worry, the murderer may be diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the second prince and his son are the focus." ”
When Hou Junjue heard my words, he reacted and said, "It's still Xiao Kun, you are sensible, and you may almost fall for the other party's plan." ”
After most of the soldiers, guards of the Shenwei Battalion, and the police went to search for the murderer, Hou Yibai calmed the people at the scene on behalf of the queen, and the people at the scene quickly settled down without seeing any casualties and the gunshots did not continue to sound.
Murong Ziyan saw me in a panic, a surprised expression flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to open her mouth to greet me, but I quickly shook my head slightly, signaling her to keep quiet.
