Chapter 216 Upper, Middle and Lower
The white folding fan in Huang Ziang's hand is not just a simple fan.
The fan was specially made by Huang Shanjun who hired a master craftsman at a high price. The fan bones are made of black iron, which is fine and hard. The fan surface is made of gold wire and has inscriptions by famous people. It is very valuable.
The most important thing is that the fan bones are hollow and contain countless poisonous needles as thin as cow hair. These needles are specially designed to defeat armor. Even the body protection strength of martial artists is difficult to resist. They are also coated with highly toxic substances. After entering the body and bleeding, the poisoned person will die immediately within a few moments!
'When I gave this folding fan to Ziang, I warned him that weapons are the second life of a martial artist. The fan is alive, and the fan is dead. Ziang even likes this fan. He usually listens to me the most. Even when he eats and sleeps, he never leaves the fan...'
And now...
Huang Shanjun stared at the broken fan in his hand, his heart full of bitterness. Although he had a bad premonition when he came to Taohua Village and saw the charred bones on the ground.
But at that time, at least he had not seen the definite evidence, and he still had a little hope in his heart.
But now, hope has been completely shattered!
Huang Shanjun remained silent, but strangely, there was no trace of sadness on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the whole person looked like he was smiling, crying, and crying, which was extremely weird.
"Hiss..."
Di Yuan, who was looking for clues on the side, accidentally looked up and saw Huang Shanjun's expression. He took a breath and lowered his head again.
Huang Shanjun, nicknamed the killing gun, what is the killing gun, killing is just a nod, and turning around in the middle of talking and laughing.
This person's temperament is completely different from that of ordinary people. When ordinary people are most angry, their faces are full of anger, but when he is angry, he narrows his eyes and smiles, as if he doesn't care about anything.
But those who are familiar with him know that this is when Huang Shanjun is most angry.
Di Yuan remained silent and continued to look for clues. Immediately, he found a large number of broken guns, broken forks and broken swords. He took them to Huang Shanjun and saw that, as expected, these were the weapons commonly used by Huang An and others.
"It seems that the famous iron-breaking formation of my Huang family was indeed broken here..." Huang Shanjun stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, with no expression on his face, no joy or sadness.
And Di Yuan didn't dare to breathe, so he had to walk out of the house and walked around the yard, hoping to find important clues as soon as possible, solve the case, get the silver, and get out as soon as possible, away from this muddy water.
"Huh?" Suddenly, he was surprised.
"Di Yuan, what important discovery?" At some point, Huang Shanjun came out of the house without anyone noticing, watching his every move.
Di Yuan's heart sank, and he quickly responded: "Captain, the ground here is a little abnormal according to my observation..."
Although he was not very good at fighting with his martial arts, his eyesight, sense of smell, and hearing were much sharper than ordinary people.
"The soil here is different in color. Obviously someone has dug the land here recently." Di Yuan leaned down, stared at the ground, and said: "The soil on the surface of Taohua Village is mostly grayish white, but the soil is rich and black, and the soil here is obviously different from the surrounding..."
As he spoke, he picked up a black lump-like object from the ground, put it in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.
This is the stable, where the carriage and goods are parked. Han Yi dug a pit here at that time and buried all the armor of the Huang family in the soil.
"No mistake, this lump of earth is definitely the black soil deep in the soil!" As he said that, Di Yuan opened his mouth and bit off a small piece of the black lump in his hand.
Hmm?
Di Yuan's expression froze immediately. The lump of earth in his hand was indeed black soil, but for some reason, it smelled like horse manure!
"Puh, puh, puh!" He spit on the ground several times in a row.
"Start digging!" Huang Shanjun came over with a stern face. Now, as long as he had a clue, he would track it down.
Di Yuan looked at Huang Shanjun, then at himself, and reluctantly took a shovel from his back.
For hard work like digging the earth, the leader would definitely not do it while watching from the side, so he had to do it himself...
Fortunately, Di Yuan was more or less a warrior, and he could still do small things like digging the earth easily.
After a while, he quickly dug up the soil with different colors with a shovel, skimmed it off, and piled it aside.
Gradually, the things in the pit revealed a little bit of detail, which seemed to be pieces of metal...
"Huh!?"
Di Yuan took a few deep breaths of cool air. In the sunlight, the smooth black face armor, helmet, shoulder armor, skirt armor... were neatly stacked together. In the pit, there were dozens of sets of black armor!
Armor is a serious prohibited item!
Although the Huang family controls the security of Anyan City, most of the head constables and patrol soldiers under their command are only equipped with leather armor and iron knives.
Such fine iron full body armor that can protect the whole body is not something that head constables and ordinary patrols can wear. Only truly elite troops are qualified to equip it.
And in Anyan City, only the heavy cavalry of the county magistrate can have such a majestic fine iron armor!
Logically speaking, these armors can only be reviewed and allocated by special people from the imperial court, with each piece of armor numbered and strictly managed. Even someone like Huang Shanjun has no right to interfere!
But now, there is such a large amount of contraband in the Huang family's motorcade...
Di Yuan immediately looked at his eyes and nose without squinting, as if he hadn't seen anything. He was indeed an old man who knew when to act stupid and when to show off.
"Ahem, this mission is a secret mission specially assigned to me by the superiors..." Huang Shanjun coughed lightly and explained.
Naturally, he wanted to say something to make the situation lighter for the time being. He was not afraid that Di Yuan would talk too much and leak these things.
Because in his eyes, Di Yuan is already a dead person...
Di Yuan found out that his family's convoy was missing, saw these armors, and saw all his secrets. It was really difficult for Di Yuan to stay alive...
However, the matter has not yet been resolved. After the murderer is found, the murderer and Di Yuan will be solved together!
Huang Shanjun made a decision, but his tone remained gentle and said: "The top priority now is to find the murderer. Di Yuan, do you have any ideas?"
"It's not difficult, let me think about it first..." Di Yuan hesitated for a while. He didn't believe a word of the secret mission Huang Shanjun said, but he was a case solver anyway. As long as the thousand taels of silver from solving the case are given to him in the end, Huang Shanjun just wants to rebel and kill people. What does it have to do with him?
After a while, Di Yuan spoke confidently: "A person who can kill all the people in the Huang family's convoy and set fire to an entire village is definitely not a good person, but since so many people are involved, the perpetrator must be It will leave clues..."
Judging from his years of experience in handling cases, the more airtight the space, the more blocked the place, the more difficult it will be to solve the case, because the space is limited, and the murderer will easily erase his traces. On the contrary, the larger the space and the more people involved, the easier it will be. In this kind of case, the murderer will more or less leave some details.
Di Yuan started to investigate carefully, and soon he found several clues in the hut next to the stable.
A lot of blood-stained gauze that had been replaced by Bai Sanren, and the tattered clothes that Han Yi and Qian Xue had replaced, although these had been smoked into charcoal black, the original features could still be seen after careful examination.
"According to the evidence collected so far, there are two to three perpetrators, which is consistent with my previous inference. One of them was seriously injured, one may be a woman, and the last one may be a young male or one of the murderers. Main mover!
Moreover, this young man should be wearing black clothes. He is tall and stronger than ordinary people. The weapons on his body should be heavy weapons such as broadswords and long swords..."
Di Yuan used a wooden stick to pull the items on the ground and kept analyzing. He guessed Han Yi's height and shape from the remaining clothes Han Yi threw away, and guessed Han Yi's weapons from the damage caused.
Putting aside his character, Di Yuan is indeed a talented person. It only took him half a day to analyze everything.
"Can you find these people?"
Huang Shanjun had a murderous look on his face. Although the goods that the gentleman wanted were not lost, he, who was known as a murder gun, still found it difficult to remain calm under the stimulation of the pain of losing his son.
"Behind Taohua Village is the official road. Based on the time when the Huang family's motorcade disappeared, we can identify the crowds of people traveling on the official road. Two or three people were traveling together, including a team of women. Follow this direction and check one by one. There is a probability that there will be a perpetrator." Di Yuan responded.
After hearing this, Huang Shanjun frowned: "But how many people do we need to investigate? There are so many people coming and going on the road, how can we investigate?
Even if we can barely check it based on the entry and exit records of the city gates, inns, and official roads, it has been such a long time and it is simply difficult to achieve. "
"Actually, there weren't that many people as expected." Di Yuan smiled confidently, "It was the New Year's Day, it was freezing cold, and when every family was getting together, not many people went out at all. As I guessed, two or three people The warriors who went out from the city together must be in the minority..."
"Wait..." At this time, Huang Shanjun interrupted Di Yuan, "Even if we can investigate from the entry and exit records of Anyan City, what if the perpetrator is not staying in the city but has been ambushing here? , Isn’t it all a waste of time!”
"Captain, please be patient..." Di Yuan said confidently: "So, this is a plan...
As the Chief Catcher said, if someone has been staying outside to ambush, then it is really impossible to investigate based on the entry and exit records alone. But Chief Catcher, think about it, why was the Huang family's convoy not ambushed elsewhere, but in What about being ambushed near Anyan City?
If the perpetrator can accurately know the personnel, location, and strength of the convoy, and he does it near Anyan City, then it means that the perpetrator must be a force in the city that the Huang family cannot deal with!
Therefore, falling into the trap requires the chief catcher to personally investigate. In recent days, there have been any changes in the forces hostile to the Huang family!
Of course, the changes I am referring to are by no means the transfer of ordinary warriors. It is now known that the perpetrators have the strength of martial arts. Therefore, whether it is the few martial arts in the city who are in the open or the few in the dark, , if they use their hands, some flaws will inevitably be exposed!
Therefore, if you combine the lower plan and the middle plan, you will definitely find something! "
"That's right, reasonable, reasonable!" Huang Shanjun nodded.
Di Yuan continued: "If, after all this planning, we still can't find the murderer, then we can only use the best plan, which is also the plan I recommend the most..."
At this point, he deliberately stopped talking, and his nature of being a teacher and showing off in front of others was revealed again.
But when he saw the gentle expression on Huang Shanjun's face, he shuddered and quickly said: "The best plan is to wait and see!
"These armors must have been placed on the carriage. Since someone can take them down and bury them in the soil instead of destroying them, it means that this person still has ideas about them. Perhaps, this person is thinking of taking them back in the future...
And if you want to come here, there is no other way, you can only pass through this road at the bottom of the mountain. As long as the chief constable arranges one or two people to follow, and combines the physical characteristics I just speculated, find the tall person who uses heavy weapons, and then look at his companions and accomplices, and finally the chief constable will step forward to interrogate, and then you can determine the approximate murderer!
These three strategies must be carried out simultaneously, slowly pushed forward, and implemented together. I think the chief constable will definitely gain something! "
"Captain Di is indeed a talented person!"
Huang Shanjun suddenly felt enlightened. With this calculation, it would not take much effort to find the murderer who killed his team and his son!
But the two of them did not seem to consider the possibility of accidentally killing others if they happened to meet similar people.
"Thank you, Chief Constable." Di Yuan was a little complacent and smiled reservedly, but then he smiled again: "However, I want to say one thing, if that person ran away immediately after the attack and never came back, or practiced some rare kung fu secrets to avoid ears and eyes, then all my speculations here may be in vain, so if you can't find anyone at that time, I hope the chief constable will not blame you!"
"Hahaha!"
"Captain Di is too modest. Even if you can't find anyone, relying on these analysis and inferences, it is enough to receive the 1,000 taels of silver! "Huang Shanjun also said happily.
The two looked at each other, both were very happy.
----------------------------------------------
The Yingsha Pavilion stronghold.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave completely collapsed, and the dust and gravel formed a circle of white ash that spread all around.
