Chapter 871: Suspicious Spots
Jiangzhou Wei is located in the southeast of Shanxi, far away from Datong, Yanmen Pass are very far away, if it is the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is replaced by other guards, most of the armed forces are wasted, and the government office drinks tea and plays chess to raise dogs and teasing birds, and it is said that the son lives freely.
However, as a commander, Ouyang Peng is quite ambitious, and the rules are very strict, the third entry into the rear is a military aircraft important place, only five officials of the Guardian Hall including himself can enter, and the rest are not allowed to enter without being summoned, and even the pro-military officer academy is guarded in front of the second courtyard.
Ouyang Peng had to drink a pot of strong tea every morning, and his soldiers made the tea, shouting "the tea is ready" outside the door, Ouyang Peng said "come", he took the teapot in, put it on the general's table, and finally withdrew.
Today, the soldier also made tea, but after coming in, he found that Ouyang Peng was dead with his face up, with a sharp arrow stuck in his mouth, and he was so frightened that he broke the teapot on the spot, making a clanging sound that many people heard, and then the four commanders rushed out of their respective rooms......
In this way, Qin Lin nodded in a deep voice, and saw a lot of broken porcelain pieces, tea leaves, and beach water stains on the ground very early, presumably it was the teapot broken by this personal soldier.
"I know who the murderer is!" Lu Yuanzhi's face was full of excitement, and he slapped his hand on his thigh with a snap.
Oh, so powerful? All the officers talked about it, and secretly said that there were no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and the fat man under Qin Lin's command, who looked stupid, was able to find out the case so quickly.
Only Niu Dali and the lieutenant brothers increased the amount with their hands, and in many cases, the fat man's analysis would be off-topic, especially when he slapped his thigh.
Qin Lin raised his eyebrows, "Fatty, tell me what you think." ”
Lu Yuanzhi pointed to his own soldiers: "What he said just now, he shouted tea outside the door, and General Ouyang came to say, so he brought the teapot in, but according to his statement, General Ouyang was already dead at that time, who shouted this?" It can be seen that he is lying at all! ”
"I'm wronged," the soldiers shook their hands in a panic, and said in a crying voice: "Ask the commander to know clearly, my general sometimes handles official business, or reads the military book into a daze, and he may not necessarily respond, the small one just shouts according to the rules, and then carries the teapot in, in fact, he doesn't pay much attention to whether he answers or not." ”
"This is true, General Ouyang likes to read military books, and when he is fascinated, even if he shouts loudly, he will not respond, we are all used to it," Thunderstorm said stupidly.
All the officers claimed yes.
Others are okay, Yin Binshang sighed regretfully, he knew that Ouyang Peng loved to read military books so much, he could give him his white art of war to read, but unfortunately there was no chance now.
Lu Yuanzhi scratched his head embarrassedly and stuck out his tongue: "So that's the case, hehe, it seems that I want to go wrong." ”
"Actually, it's not far wrong, it's still right in the general direction of thinking," Qin Lin smiled and comforted him, and there was something in his words.
Of course, Ouyang Peng would not have been killed by Jebe, and Qin Lin even suspected that the arrow was not flying from the window.
On the surface, it appeared that the corpse was facing the open window, and it was entirely possible that the assassin had shot in from the outside, but in doing so, the corpse had not been moved, and the angle of incidence of the arrow through the throat had been extended, almost the trajectory of its flight in the air.
With the force and angle of the arrow, the person who shoots the arrow can only stand on the mound more than twenty zhang away, at such a distance, an arrow will hit Ouyang Peng's mouth, and the archery skills are too powerful.
And more importantly, the hill was very conspicuous, if the assassin stood on it and sniped with his bow and arrow, it would be easy for irrelevant people to see it, which would lead to the exposure of his identity and the failure of the assassination, Qin Lin believed that the assassin would not normally assassinate a commander in such an uncertain way.
If it was committed from close range, it would be much easier to explain, because Ouyang Peng strictly enforced military regulations, and the rear office was actually in a closed state, except for the victim himself, there were only four commanders, who stayed in their own rooms to work, if one of them came out of the room, killed Ouyang Peng, and then went back as if nothing happened, waiting for the exclamation of the tea soldiers......
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that after the pro-soldiers committed the crime, they pretended to have just discovered that Ouyang Peng had been killed.
Following his train of thought, Qin Lin continued to ask, "Who was the last to see General Ouyang alive?" ”
Thunderstorm stared at him and thought, "I haven't seen him since I returned to the Yaya." ”
He Ang casually pointed at Ni Zhongyuan: "I remember that Lao Ni went to look for General Ouyang, and he was passing by my door at that time. ”
"Yes, I went to General Ouyang to ask about Tuntian, and he was fine at the time!" Ni Zhongyuan stared at Jebe hatefully, "This group of Tartars infiltrated the caravan of the Young Master's Mansion and killed General Ouyang, there must be a big conspiracy." ”
Tang Keshan smiled at Cao Si and Sun Youdao: "It's a loss that the Tartar is not bad for the old lady of your mansion, otherwise Lord Shoufu must be worried, who can you still rely on for state affairs?" ”
These two lived like lackeys in the Young Master's Mansion, Lu Yuanzhi asked Qin Lin in a low voice, could the real murderer be among the two of them?
Qin Lin was noncommittal, and he couldn't see anything special at the moment.
According to the chronological order of the development of the case, the next scene is the scene where the soldiers found Jebabe and the others on the hill and rushed over to arrest them.
Qin Lin turned his face blank, pretended not to know, and shouted: "Where did the Tartar spies come from, why did you kill General Ouyang?" ”
Of course, Jebe understood what Qin Lin meant, and shouted repeatedly: "The villain is not a spy, just a serious businessman in the north, who went to the Central Plains to do the fur business, and he didn't assassinate General Ouyang just now, just because the people were sleepy and lacking, and when he saw the abundant water and grass on the mound, he went to rest, but unexpectedly he bumped into bad luck." ”
In fact, Jebe saw that the commander of the envoy had not moved for a long time, and his heart became anxious, and it happened that a guy in the caravan said that the commander of the envoy could be seen on the mound, so they climbed the mound and looked this way, and now they must have fallen into the opponent's poisonous plan.
Zhang Yunling's murder and blame are interlocking, and the counterattack against Qin Lin is really fierce!
Cao Si and Sun Youdao sneered, this matter was arranged by them single-handedly, it was completely seamless, where are they afraid that Qin Lin will track it down? Just put him in too!
Naturally, the Young Master's Mansion would not say that "Battle" was a fake envoy of Tumen Khan, otherwise wouldn't it expose Zhang Yunling's crime of colluding with the Tartars to smuggle weapons? As long as he bites to death and assassinates Ouyang Peng, he can be put to death, and even if he exposes the matter of the Young Master's Mansion colluding with Tumen Khan, there is a crime of assassinating Ouyang Peng in front of him, and the court will never believe it, just if he is climbing and biting down and beating a rake indiscriminately.
Qin Lin knew what was at stake, his face was calm, and he was secretly anxious, so he had no choice but to pac, slowly walked to the front of the corpse, and looked up and down carefully.
I saw Ouyang Peng slumped on the circle chair, his face slightly tilted, a pair of eyes bulging out, his face was full of distorted pain and unwillingness, and a carved arrow was inserted in his mouth......
Huh, what's going on? Qin Lin found something, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
