God catches no trace

Chapter 209 Dike

Chapter 2: Dykes

The winter night is cold, and the leaves are stained with beads.

River embankment.

A few figures, holding torches in their hands, kept moving forward and shaking.

Obviously looking for someone.

After almost 10 minutes.

A man stopped and looked at a man in a hunting suit.

"Quick Qiu, are you sure Zheng Huajian is here?"

"Master Sang, after dinner today, he did bring Zhou Butou and a few people, saying that he wanted to get away from the river for a while to be quiet."

The few people holding the torches were Sang Wuhen, Shui Sheng, Li Qiuyu, and Ye Yanran, except for Detective Qiu.

It turned out that when he and Li Qiuyu arrived at Pan Jiaohong's house, Shui Sheng and Ye Yanran had escorted Wu Dongshui and the others back, waiting anxiously for them.

After overnight interrogation, Wu Dongshui finally confessed that Zheng Huajian, the prefect of Yuezhou, hired them to kill Huang Xianzhi.

The news is undoubtedly shocking: a majestic court official, actually went to kill a powerless woman?Why?It's incredible to think about it.

However, Wu Dongshui, who is in a desperate situation, will not talk nonsense.

So, early the next morning, Sang Wuhen took the three of them straight to Yuezhou, while Juying and Juye remained in the "Xiaofeng" Pavilion.

Of course, there was an episode: Ye Yanran wanted to leave when she saw her parents revenge.

After Shui Sheng and Li Qiuyu persuaded him in the room, he stayed.

Although Sang Wuhen didn't know what they were talking about, he knew about it, because Li Qiuyu once told him: Shui Sheng would never let Ye Yanran wander alone in the rivers and lakes.

To tell the truth, he didn't want Ye Yanran to leave either. People who have been in contact for so long have emotions.As for what kind of emotion exists, I can't say clearly.

When the four of them arrived at the Yamen and even the official residence of Deyuezhou at dusk, they did not see Zheng Huajian. After questioning, they learned that they might be walking on the river embankment.

Impatient, they didn't want to wait boredly, so after a short pause, they asked Captain Ye to lead the way quickly.

now.

Sang Wuhen was relieved when he heard his extremely positive answer.Words: "Well, keep looking."

"Yes." Detective Ye responded quickly, twisted his waist, and hurried forward alone.

About 200 meters ahead.

There is a sound.

"Master Sang, come and see, Master Zheng is sitting in a sedan chair."

When Sang Wuhen and the other three heard it, their figures floated at the same time.

Sure enough, a sedan chair fell to the middle of the embankment alone in the cold wind.

"Is this?"

"Master Sang, the small one is not dazzled."

"What about people?"

Detective Ye hurried to the sedan chair, swept the torch inadvertently, and shouted loudly, "Captain Zhou."

Everyone approached a few steps and lit them with torches.

On the ground, lay four or five people with peaceful faces, like people who were asleep.

Sang Wuhen bent down and probed each nostril with his hands.

Then, stand up with a dignified expression.

"Brother Wuhen, they..."

"died."

When Shui Sheng heard the word "two", she was not surprised, because no one would fall asleep on the ground at night in such a freezing temperature.

"What caused the death?"

"We'll check later." After Sang Wuhen finished speaking, he faced Police Officer Ye: "Do any of the people on the ground have Zheng Huajian?"

With grief, Detective Ye shook his head after examining it carefully.

"No. It's Zhou who catches them."

"Then you still look ahead or around."

"Yes, my lord."

At this moment, Sang Wuhen squatted down again, untied one of the deceased's shirts, and brought the torch as close as possible.

Touch the skin with your hands little by little, and feel it little by little.

About three and four minutes, except for the buttocks, almost all over.

"How is it?" Shui Sheng, Li Qiuyu, and Ye Yanran squatted beside him and asked almost simultaneously.

"There were no wounds on the body of the deceased, including the surface of the head, but there were no signs of internal organs being destroyed by internal force."

"Did they die naturally?" Shui Sheng asked alone.

"It is indeed a bit similar, but, have you ever seen so many people die naturally at the same time and in the same place?"

"No."

"Since there is no such thing, it must be murder." Sang Wuhen finished speaking, fixed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and picked up a small white iron piece from the ground.

"what is this?"

"I don't know." He smiled, put the iron sheet under the light for a closer look, then sniffed it with his nose, and found a faint smell of gunpowder.Immediately, he said "um" in his mouth, moved the torch, swept it on the ground, saw many such small pieces, and carefully picked them up in his hand.

"Brother Wuhen, do you suspect that their deaths are related to these pieces of iron?"

"It's not a suspicion now, it's certain that the murderer killed them with a white object." Sang Wuhen replied calmly.

"why?"

"You sniff."

He put a piece of iron in front of her nose.

"The smell of gunpowder." Shui Sheng exclaimed in surprise. "How can it smell of gunpowder?"

"Do you remember the hidden weapon of "Laughing Lianhua" in the Great Zhao Clan case?"

"of course I remember."

"If my inference is correct, this white object is somewhat similar to its principle."

"That is to say, once the murderer releases this hidden weapon, it will be the same as "Xiao Lianhua". There is gunpowder inside to make it explode?"

"Correct."

"The only difference is that the "Laughing Lianhua" explodes when it touches the skin, and the fragments and toxins will be inserted quickly, turning people into blood, and it will start to burst just a little away from the victim."

"Smart." Sang Wuhen admitted that her analysis made sense.

"But what happens when it bursts and kills them without leaving a trace?"

"There are two possibilities. First, after the explosion, something inside the white object, such as countless capillary needles, flew out immediately, piercing the victim's dead spots with incomparable precision. Second, it was filled with poison. When it bursts, the poison is scattered with the wind, and the victim dies instantly after inhaling it."

"Brother Wuhen, you said the first type, and I agree. The second type seems impossible. If it is poisonous, every victim's face should be more or less different."

Li Qiuyu and Ye Yanran listened quietly, praising Shui Sheng's analysis in their hearts.

Sang Wuhen nodded, expressing a kind of approval.

At this moment, Captain Ye was heard calling: "Master Sang, Master Zheng is here."

"Look and go." He uttered three words, his figure fluttered, and he rushed forward.

In less than ten seconds, he stood beside Captain Ye.

He saw Zheng Huajian lying upright by the embankment, with the same expression on his face as Zhou Hehuan and others.

Apparently, died by the same technique.

It is also obvious that the policeman and he were killed by the same person.

Who the hell killed them?Will it be related to what I'm investigating, and be silenced?If true, Zheng Huajian was not the murderer behind the murder of Huang Xianzhi, and he may have been entrusted by others.

But a person who can make him hire Huang Xianzhi without hesitation must have an extraordinary relationship, and his identity and background will be extremely difficult?Who is this guy?
If he guessed wrong, it must be the enemy's doing.

To figure out all the problems, one must know who Zheng Huajian was best with or had a deep hatred with during his lifetime.

Also, we must find out what kind of new hidden weapon the murderer used.

Thinking of this, Sang Wuhen let out a long sigh.
