Chapter 799: Killed
Chapter 799 was killed.
It was already hot in the middle of summer, and everyone was looking at Ye Xing, hoping that he would be able to come up with something.
It's just that Ye Xing at this time hasn't found any way, all he can do is what he can do now, and he has already suggested a little bit.
"The things in the capital can't be stopped, and now we already know what the reason for the haunting is, so Lord Dugu can go to the construction site later, tell Chen Gui about this matter, and tell the migrant workers the details, let them know that there are not really ghosts, but someone has put a brass pipe in the hill, if those migrant workers know that the haunting is a troublemaker, they will naturally not be afraid, and the project can continue."
Dugu Cai nodded: "Don't worry about this, King Ming, I will send someone to pass it on later." ”
Ye Xing snorted, and then said: "The construction of copper pipes is very exquisite, and it is not something that ordinary craftsmen can build, so we must send someone to visit all the craftsmen who build things in Beiping City to see if they have helped anyone build such things." ”
After listening to Ye Xing's words, Dugu asked with some doubts: "King Daming thinks that the person who wants to be haunted will find the craftsmen of Beiping City to create such a thing?" ”
Ye Xing nodded and said, "That's right, a person who kills people really doesn't need to build his own weapons, and this principle also works in this matter, if that person is haunted on the construction site, there is no need for him to build such a delicate instrument by himself, unless he is a good craftsman himself." ”
Seeing Ye Xing say this, Dugu had no choice but to nod and say, "Since that's the case, I have no choice but to send someone to investigate." ”
At this time, Tie Rong also suggested: "The emperor's move of the capital to Beiping is extremely beneficial to the merchants of Beiping, so the possibility of them being troublemakers is very low, and the people who oppose the move of the capital the most are the ministers of the central government and the ministers of Beiping, so if we start from this aspect, we may be able to have a good result." ”
For Tie Rong's suggestion, everyone thinks it is very right, but it is not an easy thing to investigate the officials of the imperial court, so they can't be in a hurry, they must first observe secretly to see who is most opposed to moving the capital.
After such a discussion, Dugu Cai took someone to the construction site to find Chen Gui, and informed him of the haunting, Chen Gui was shocked after hearing it, but after learning that there were no ghosts, he was also a little excited, because in this way, the project can be accelerated.
Tie Rong and Battle led people to investigate who had built the delicate copper pipe in Beiping City.
After Dugucai, Tie Rong and the others left, Di Xiaojie asked with some puzzlement: "Brother Ye, they all have things to do, what should we do?" ”
Ye Xing smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, we are going to investigate the officials of Beiping City!" ”
"Isn't this an easy matter to be hasty, how can we investigate it?" Xu Ruoxuan raised his own questions.
After thinking for a while, Ye Xing said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go directly to investigate, we might as well go and investigate first in the name of visiting." ”
Now that's all they have to do.
Ye Xing visited many officials in Beiping City as the king of the world, and from the mouths of these officials, there were not many clues, and around noon, Ye Xing and they entered an inn very disappointed.
But as soon as they sat down and didn't start eating, a soldier came in a hurry and said, "King Daming, something is wrong, when Master Tie and Battle were investigating those craftsmen, they found a corpse, go and take a look!" ”
Things were a little unexpected for Ye Xing, Tie Rong and Battle went to investigate the copper pipe, how could they find the body, could it be that the corpse was a craftsman, and it was a craftsman who helped build the copper pipe, and he was killed by someone?
Thinking of this, Ye Xing and the others didn't care about eating, so they hurriedly followed the soldier to the location of Tie Rong and Battle.
It was a relatively narrow alley, and there was a row of cactus balls planted on the walls of the alley, presumably to prevent thieves from crawling in, and several soldiers were not allowed to enter the outside of the alley, and Tie Rong and Battelle and the rest of the soldiers were all in a courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet, with a few creepers, a grape trellis covered with lush leaves, and a stone bench under the grape trellis, and a corpse lying next to the stone bench, holding a pampas fan in its hands, with a few drops of blood on it.
When Tie Rong saw Ye Xing and the others coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have already examined the corpse roughly, the deceased was hacked to death by someone with a knife through the chest from the front, the wound is smooth, there is no stagnation at all, but the murderer's knife skills are very exquisite." ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, then squatted down to inspect the corpse, and finally said: "Master Tie's statement about the wound on the corpse is not wrong at all, the murderer's knife technique is indeed very good, a knife is fatal, and there is no stagnation, but judging from the location of the wound, only the murderer is a left-hander." ”
As soon as Ye Xing said this, everyone hurriedly paid attention to the wound of the deceased, the wound was cut from the deceased's left shoulder to the right chest, and there was nothing strange about it.
Di Xiaojie looked at the wound and said puzzledly: "A person with a knife in his right hand can also cut out such a wound!" ”
Ye Xing nodded and said: "That's right, a person with a knife in his right hand can indeed cut out such a wound, but if the murderer is holding a knife in his right hand, when he pulls out the knife, and then cuts the murderer's left shoulder, but he needs to drive the wrist to turn the knife in one direction, when doing so, the movement will not be very smooth, and after the wrist is turned, the knife that the murderer slashes to the left shoulder will not turn down, but almost parallel to slide through, that is to say, the knife wound will not extend to the right chest, but will wipe the neck of the deceased." ”
When Ye Xing said this, everyone found out that this was indeed the case, if the murderer killed with a knife in his right hand and cut it on the left shoulder of the deceased, the wound should indeed be the neck rather than the chest.
Now the deceased is wounded in the chest, which means that the murderer is left-handed.
It's just that even if they know that the murderer is left-handed, there is not much they can do, after all, they don't know much about the clues of the murderer, and it takes time to find the left-handed master.
Everyone naturally understands the difficulty of this matter, so after Ye Xing finished speaking, everyone didn't speak casually, and after Ye Xing checked the corpse, he said: "This person has calluses on his hands, and he is indeed a craftsman, have you ever asked who he is?" ”
Seeing this, Tie Rong hurriedly replied: "This person's neighbors are all here, you can call them to ask." ”
