Chapter 873: The Only Possibility
Qin Lin thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "The command envoy is heavily guarded, and General Ouyang is not easy to match, even the King of Weide Law can't kill him silently-if it's you, can you do it?" ”
Bai Shuanghua frowned and thought about it, but didn't say anything after all.
The command envoy has a general flag and leads fifty elite soldiers to patrol and protect, enter the gate, and pass through the heavily guarded hall and the second hall, and finally get to the inner office.
And the layout of this room is not like the assassination can be completed suddenly, because the door is still more than a zhang away from the handsome case, and anyone who appears at the door will attract Ouyang Peng's attention, at this time, even if the assassin is flying in the air, he wants to cross the handsome case and stab the eagle arrow into Ouyang Peng's mouth, and at the same time can't let him make any sound, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?
Infiltrating, assassinating, Bai Shuanghua asked himself if he could still do it, but if he had to silently insert the arrow into Ouyang Peng's mouth, and not alarm the four commanders of Lei, He, Ni, and Tang who were working in several other signing rooms, it would be difficult.
"The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime," Qin Lin said thoughtfully.
Bai Shuanghua was stunned, not knowing if he was talking to himself or talking to himself.
Qin Lin touched his chin again, and said slowly: "From the blood stains splashed on the handsome case, it can be determined that the posture of the corpse has not moved, that is to say, Ouyang Peng was killed while sitting on a chair, and we have already determined that the assassin was assassinated with an arrow in close quarters, if the assassin suddenly appeared, how could Ouyang Peng not scream, how could he continue to sit safely?" Only acquaintances commit crimes. When he is not vigilant, he can suddenly strike by surprise. Kill this martial arts general on a chair! ”
When Bai Shuanghua heard this, his suspicious eyes turned to the soldier who served the tea. A cold light flickered in his clear eyes.
Pity that the soldier is just a firehead army who burns tea and serves the general. Where can he afford to be watched by the Demon Sect Leader? Eye contact with her. When he landed, his face was sallow, and the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down in big drops, almost paralyzing.
Qin Lin hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "It's not him, the assassin wants to kill Ouyang Peng." He had to go around to the back of the handsome case and next to the chair, and then stab it with the sharp arrow in his hand, this soldier could only put the teapot on the table and go out, if he went around to the back of the case, he would immediately arouse Ouyang Peng's vigilance. ”
Qin Lin also said while thinking. At this point, my heart jumped, is it really the four conductors? And only them. In the name of talking about official business, you can go to Ouyang Peng's side without causing alarm, and take advantage of Ouyang Peng's anti-riot to make trouble.
However, there are still some strange places, such as the book of soldiers that has been spread out, such as Ouyang Peng's open mouth......
Qin Lin thought about it and decided to rebuild the scene, he instructed Niu Dali to bring the same circle chair from the signing room of the thunderstorm next door, and placed it behind the handsome case, next to Ouyang Peng's body, and then sat on it himself, sitting side by side with the dead body.
"This Qin Ye is not unlucky," the officers whispered, invisibly looking at him again.
There were a lot of military books on the shelf, Qin Lin took one and put it on the desk like the previous one, but found that the height of the circle chair and the handsome case was very inappropriate, and he had to hunch over to read the book, and his posture was uncomfortable, so he took the book in his hand and read it, and rested his elbow on the armrest of the circle chair.
"That's right, that's how my generals read," Thunderstorm shouted loudly, admiring Qin Lin very much.
Qin Lin raised his head and ordered, "Fatty, now you pretend to be an assassin and come to assassinate me." ”
Lu Yuanzhi crept in, his hand hidden behind his back, holding a carved arrow, the door of the room was facing south, the sun shone on his shadow swaying indoors, and the change of light and shadow was extremely conspicuous.
Qin Lin smiled and shook his head: "No, I've already seen you, Assassin Brother - who trespassed on the internal office?" Come on, take it with me! ”
Niu Dali pretended to be captured, and "took down" Lu Yuanzhi when he landed.
Back to square one.
Lu Yuanzhi hid the arrow in his clothes this time, strode in, and arched his hand: "General, there are important things to discuss with you." ”
Qin Lin put the military book back on the table and looked at him with a smile: "What's the matter, tell me." ”
"General Qiyu, Tumen Khan and Dong Fox have obtained the ordnance smuggled by the traitors, and their troops have recovered, and they have exhausted 100,000 people who control the strings to go south to knock on the pass......" Lu Yuanzhi said as he walked to Qin Lin's side.
Cao Si and Sun Youdao's expressions were uncertain, and they said in their hearts that this fat man was obviously pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, let's stop it, and let him go, let's argue now, it seems that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
Bai Shuanghua, Niu Dali and others, who knew the inside story, snickered, the traitor scolded by the fat man was none other than the old lady of the Young Master's Mansion and the head of the Jin businessman, Zhang Yunling.
At this time, Lu Yuanzhi had already walked to Qin Lin's side, and Qin Lin answered with him, so he always looked at him, Lu Yuanzhi touched his nose and showed a wry smile, meaning that he couldn't start.
The little eyes blinked, Lu Yuanzhi finally had a way, pointed to the map of soldiers hanging on the wall behind Qin Lin, and pointed: "General, please look here, the nine-border defense line, it is very important to garrison Datong Mansion......"
Qin Lin turned his head to look, and Lu Yuanzhi took out a sharp arrow from his arms to stab, but Qin Lin saw it out of the corner of his eye: "Bold, what are you doing!" ”
Lu Fatzi frowned and complained: "Brother Qin, you have been prepared, of course not, the assassin killed General Ouyang with intention or not, maybe he was looking at the map and was distracted?" ”
"Then, with your head twisted like this, from this angle, the blood will not spray on the table! Moreover, General Ouyang is quite strict in governing the army, if someone points to the map and speaks, he probably won't sit, it is quite uncomfortable to twist his head to look behind him like this, and it is even more difficult to be fascinated, so he will be taken advantage of by the assassins," Qin Lin frowned, turned his head, and sat down again.
Lu Fatzi smiled bitterly, neither left nor right, it was really rare.
Qin Lin also scratched his head, in this case, there is no doubt about the cause of death and the time of death, and forensic technology is almost useless, that is, the case is ancient and strange, and even the reconstruction of the scene has been repeatedly frustrated.
"Well, take a closer look, maybe the corpse can tell us more," Qin Lin said, getting up and carefully observing the corpse again, and gently pulling the corpse's jaw open.
Before the zombie had happened, he opened his mouth with a twist, and suddenly the bloody breath came to his nose, Qin Lin didn't realize it, so he just carefully observed the mouth filled with blood.
What's so nice about this? Lu Yuanzhi was puzzled, and died with a sharp arrow, and there was no doubt about the cause of death.
Qin Lin suddenly looked solemn and beckoned to Lu Yuanzhi: "Give me a handkerchief." ”
Lu Yuanzhi handed him a handkerchief, and Qin Lin pinched the handkerchief and carefully wiped the corpse's mouth, even if his hands were covered with blood, he didn't care about it.
"It's strange, there are a lot of scratches on his lips, but a few teeth haven't been knocked out, it looks like he was inserted with his mouth open, could it be his hand while he yawned?"
Qin Lin said, threw away the blood-stained handkerchief, sat back on the circle chair, and then yawned long: "Aha~~"
Lu Yuanzhi was slightly stunned, and immediately took a sharp arrow and inserted it.
Everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that the murderer stood beside Ouyang Peng under the pretense of talking about things, and inserted a sharp arrow into his mouth while he was yawning and killed him.
Several Mongolian warriors said that they were lucky, and the murderer deliberately inserted the arrow into Ouyang Peng's mouth, probably to create the illusion of "being killed by the archer", plus Jebe happened to appear on the hill at the same time, and the murder weapon was the carved arrow he used, which is really ironclad evidence.
Jebe's face was smeared with wound medicine, and he said angrily: "What a fierce assassin, he wants to use this method to blame us, but fortunately he has to wipe the bloody handprints from the arrow shaft, and he is recognized by this discerning Qin chief!" ”
"No," the smile on Qin Lin's face suddenly froze, and he lowered his head and thought for a while: "If you take advantage of yawning, if Ouyang Peng doesn't yawn for a long time, the murderer will always stand by his side and wait for an opportunity?" There is no reason for this! Perhaps, we thought the wrong ......"
Niu Dali and Lu Yuanzhi, who were happy, were also dumbfounded, what Qin Lin said was reasonable, the murderer was standing beside Ouyang Peng with a sharp arrow in his hand, just waiting for him to yawn before starting, it felt weird when he thought about it.
Could it be that there was another circumstance that was not taken into account at the time of the incident? Qin Lin squinted his eyes thoughtfully, and after a moment, he said, "Mr. Yin, Lao You, you can tell me about the situation of meeting with General Ouyang yesterday and finally seeing him today. ”
Yin Binshang has a good memory and recalls yesterday's situation: "We saw General Ouyang yesterday, he was very happy, and set up a banquet to entertain us...... This morning, he personally conducted a military drill on the school ground, and when I saw him touch his face, I left Jiangtai and returned to the Yamen of the Command Envoy. ”
"His face was a little unsightly, as if he was very nervous, I was still a little suspicious of him at the time......" You Qi stopped talking, he suspected that Ouyang Peng did not dare to be an enemy of the Young Master's Mansion, but now it seems that he is to blame, but these words cannot be said in front of all the officers.
Oh? Qin Lin raised his eyebrows, suddenly laughed, and said loudly: "I know who the murderer is, and I also know the murderer's method of killing him, that guy who was supposed to treat the disease and save people, but he betrayed General Ouyang's trust and used the healing hand to do the murderous deed, He Ang, are you still pretending to be fine?" I'm talking about you! ”
Cao Si and Sun Youdao were shocked.
He Ang was scraping the medicinal powder on the arm of a Mongolian warrior with his left hand, and when he heard this, he turned his head back, his eyes were flustered, and he hissed: "You, don't talk nonsense! ”
Qin Lin sneered, and his gaze as sharp as a knife stabbed him in the face: "It's futile to quibble, because only you can kill General Ouyang with this method!" (To be continued)
