Tang riddles

After Hutuo left, Shen Sui took a deep breath and continued the autopsy.

Judging from the fact that the blood in the corpse was still flowing and hadn't solidified, the death time of this person was no more than two quarters of an hour.The time to open the gate is at Yinzheng time, that is to say, the time of death is at the second quarter of Yinchu.The fatal wound on the deceased should be on the neck. The murderer first cut the deceased's throat and died, and then cut off the head.This point can be seen from the section of the neck. There are two knife openings, one of which is narrow and deep, located below the section, and the other is the amputation wound. Both of these openings are concentrated at the larynx.But the head was cut off quite neatly, the murderer was obviously proficient in this way, and the murder weapon was also very sharp.

Shen Sui found a bold inspector to help her use pliers to remove the hook that pierced the lute of the corpse, and put the corpse down.Immediately, they worked together to fix the corpse with hemp rope, and dragged the hemp rope to carry the corpse into the tent.The tent has been set up, two large pieces of oilcloth are spread on the ground, and a large piece of white cloth is covered on it.Shen Sui put the corpse on it and asked the inspector to go out, and she stayed alone in the tent for autopsy.

What she was going to do next was too bloody and terrifying, and it was really not suitable to do it in the public eye. This was the reason why Shen Sui deliberately asked to set up a tent.

Shen Sui cast his eyes on the abdomen of the deceased, held his breath, stretched out his hand, and slowly took out the head stuffed in the abdomen of the deceased.The whole process was accompanied by the tooth-piercing sound of flesh being torn apart, and the bursting sound of blood bubbles gurgling out.When the head of the deceased emerged from the abdominal cavity, there was still a horrified expression on the bloody face, his eyes were wide open, the pupil membranes were stained with blood and turned bright red, Shen Sui's stomach was full of churning, it was unbearable .Fortunately, she hadn't eaten from last night to this morning, and had nothing to vomit, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear it now.

She put the dead man's head back on the section above the neck, compared the incisions, and confirmed her guess.The deceased was indeed decapitated with a single knife.Then she continued to examine the longitudinal lacerations in the abdominal cavity of the corpse. The laparotomy was also crisp and neat, and the internal organs were still in the abdomen. However, because the head was forcibly inserted, the internal organs of the deceased were squeezed vigorously, and all of them were dislocated and deformed, even ruptured and flattened. , appalling.The strong smell of blood already made Shen Sui frown.Suppressing the discomfort, she carefully inspected the abdominal cavity and found no foreign objects.It seems that the murderer just stuffed the dead man's head in. This act itself may represent some special meaning.

In addition to the amputation of the neck and the longitudinal laceration of the abdominal cavity, only the penetrating injuries of the luteal bones of the shoulders remained. Although the corpse was seriously damaged, the autopsy was not complicated. After Shen Sui found out the cause and time of death of the deceased, he immediately He walked out of the tent, took off his blood-stained gloves and bibs, and washed his arms repeatedly in the prepared bucket.Only then did he take off the white cloth covering his face and let out a long sigh of relief.Her body was already stained with a strong bloody smell, and her clothes were inevitably dirty, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, but frowned and looked at the direction in which Hutuo left in the distance.She was very worried about whether Hu Tuo could catch those three people, especially because the murderer might have good kung fu, and Hu Tuo might not be his opponent.

Just at the stall where Shen Sui had just finished the autopsy, the door of the West Square Gate suddenly opened, and a large group of people poured in from the gate, and the leader on the horse was Jing Zhaoyin and Li Xian.

Li Xian was first attracted by the bloody wooden cart in front of him, then he noticed the tent beside him, and finally he noticed Shen Sui.

He jumped off the horse, endured the smell of blood in the air, came to Shen Sui's side, and greeted Shen Sui.Seeing the bloodstains left on Shen Sui's body, he couldn't help feeling a little horrified.

"Brother Bo Zhao, this is..."

"The blood of the deceased, just after I finished the autopsy, the deceased was in that tent." Shen Sui explained.

Li Xian nodded, and did not ask about the condition of the deceased for the time being, but asked: "I heard that the murderer is in the workshop."

"Yes, please, please send someone to Xiqu Guilaiju to arrest him immediately. I have already sent someone there, but there is no reply yet." Shen Sui said.

Li Xian nodded, and immediately ordered two criminal arrest captains, and asked them to bring fifty yamen servants to return home.

"I have dispatched the city defense guards to surround the periphery, the murderer must have no escape." He said to Shen Sui.

The blockade opened the way for this large group of people, and the men who had been crying just now took the opportunity to rush in, about to rush towards the tent where the corpse was.But in the middle of the journey, he was caught by the servants of Jingzhao Mansion and forced to kneel on the ground.

"You guys are so bold, how dare you charge into the murder scene?!" Li Xian was furious.

"Your Majesty, these people are relatives of the deceased." Shen Sui explained, and then she signaled the yamen servant to let them go, "Come with me, I will take you to identify the identity of the deceased."

She ordered the person who claimed to be the son of the deceased, and an elderly man, and led them into the tent.After a while, they came out. The faces of the two relatives of the deceased were blue and they couldn't breathe for a while.The rest of the people gathered around and asked if it was their old escort, and they both nodded angrily.Suddenly there was another weeping.

Shen Sui wanted to wait for them to calm down a little, and ask them some questions.But at this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.Moreover, the location is next to where Shen Sui's own two carriages stopped.Shen Sui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed towards the direction where the commotion broke out.On the way she was running, suddenly there was a series of exclamations, the crowd scattered and fled, and a large open space was immediately given up near the carriage.The three figures jumped up suddenly and jumped onto the carriage. There was no one in the driver's seat in the carriage ahead, and it was directly occupied by one of them, who drove the carriage and rushed towards the door.

In the last carriage, Mr. Mo was in the driver's seat.He had already pulled out the dagger at his waist, and fought with the rest of the gangsters, a man and a woman who tried to seize the carriage.

Shen Sui watched helplessly as the carriage rushed towards him, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and his hair stood on end.The man in the driver's seat was tall and burly, but had an extremely ordinary face.His eyes were like ghostly flames, staring at Shen Sui for a moment.

Shen Sui shouted loudly: "Qianhe!"

"Here!" There was a sudden reply from inside the carriage, and then suddenly a gleaming samurai broadsword was stabbed out from the carriage, heading straight for the man's back.The man dodged immediately, Qianhe got out of the car, and the big saber slashed obliquely again, slashing at the man, the man actually controlled the rein with one hand with his left hand, and swung the horizontal knife with his right, blocking Qianhe's slashing.

At that time Shen Sui had already rushed to the carriage, she immediately stepped aside to the horse's side, grabbed the rein, turned over and jumped onto the horse.

"Woo~~~~~" She tried her best to rein in the horse, forcing the horse to stop.The horse was frightened, its bite was pulled vigorously, it kept trying to jump its front hooves, but the weight of the carriage made it unable to stand up, neighing continuously in pain, and its four hooves gradually stopped.

But because of the horse's jumping, the carriage bumped up several times, and Shen Sui heard the exclamation of Zhang Ruohan and Shen Jin in the carriage, as well as the cry of Xiao Huang'er.She was burning with anxiety and even more furious.After controlling the horse, he immediately turned around, cooperated with Qianhe, and kicked the man.The man finally couldn't hold back, and was caught off guard by this kick and kicked off the carriage.

"Lotus maid, my knife!" Shen Sui shouted.

As if answering her call, Zhang Ruohan threw the snow knife from the car window, and Shen Sui immediately grabbed it. "Qiang", the snow knife came out of its sheath, and a knife flower twisted and flew away from the horizontal knife in the man's hand.Shen Sui knocked the man with the handle of the knife backhand, knocking the man unconscious on the ground.

While Shen Sui was doing this, Qianhe had already calmed down the horse, jumped off the carriage, and followed the sound of fighting in another carriage.Shen Sui lay on the window of the car, and said to Zhang Ruohan and Shen Jin:

"Nothing, don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."

Zhang Ruohan and Shen Jin looked calm, but Huang'er was so scared that she cried.Zhang Ruohan was holding the child tightly, and said to Shen Sui:

"Be careful."

Mr. Mo was not fighting the two gangsters alone. When Shen Sui and Qianhe joined forces to control the carriage, all the secret sentries of Qianyumen who were guarding not far from the carriage rushed to them, including Hutuo who had been chasing him so far. .Everyone worked together and quickly reversed the situation, forcing the two gangsters to stay away from the carriage.When Qianhe and Shen Sui arrived, the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion also reacted and surrounded them, and the remaining two gangsters were already trapped in a heavy encirclement.

However, unexpectedly, the two gangsters were extremely tenacious.The man was equipped with countless hidden weapons, and he fired repeatedly, causing countless people around him to be hit.And that woman's martial arts is extremely high, she tosses and turns, her figure is vigorous, and her movements are extremely fast.Both of them carried different amounts of poison/powder/poison/pill, and when they spilled out, no one dared to get close.

The situation reached a stalemate, but after the bow/crossbowmen arrived, the two finally had to disarm and surrender. They were tied up and knelt on the ground.Shen Sui stepped forward and tore off the woman's human skin mask and wig. Looking at the very familiar face under the mask, she called out coldly:

"Anyi, we meet again."

The brown-haired, blue-eyed woman had already been arrested, but she still smiled at Shen Sui, the smile chilled my heart.

Shen Sui ignored her, and tore off the mask of the man beside her, revealing the face of Tang Shisan, who was staring at Shen Sui coldly.

Shen Sui snorted coldly, and then went to tear off the face of the man who was knocked out by him.The mask fell off, revealing the face of a man from the Western Kingdom.This person should be the Fufu knight.

"Brother Bo Zhao, what's going on here?" Jing Zhaoyin and Li Xian beside him fell into a bewildered situation.

"Your Majesty, these people are all serious offenders. You must be careful to escort them back. After you are released from prison, remember to guard them heavily. Don't take your guard lightly. These people have dozens of hundreds of lives in their hands, and the heinous crimes they committed are too numerous to write down. Shen still has some things to deal with, and will assist you in investigating the case as soon as possible." Shen Sui said.

"Are these three people the murderers of the death of the head of the Four Seas Escort?"

"Whether they are related to the bodyguard case, I still have some details to investigate, and I can't confirm it for the time being."

"Then the serial murders that happened in Chang'an City recently were also committed by them?" Li Xian asked again.

Shen Sui didn't answer, but said: "This is not a place to talk, Fu Jun should take them away quickly and clean up the scene. Forgive Shen for leaving first."

She turned around and left in a hurry, not noticing that a prison captain who had just gone to arrest the murderer whispered something in Li Xian's ear. What decision.

……

Daozhengfang was blocked for half a day, and finally reopened at noon.After the commotion in the morning, Shen Sui immediately sent his family back home.Mothers Qin Lian, Xiao Yuan, Zhang Ruohan, Huang'er, Xiniang, Shen Jin, Qianhe, and Hutuo were all fine, Qianyumen injured a few brothers, but fortunately no one died.After this turmoil, everyone was restless.After Shen Sui returned home, he quickly took a shower and changed clothes, ate something hastily, and then told Cui Qian, who came to the Shen residence from the Chang'an headquarters in person, to protect the safety of the Shen residence.She bid farewell to her family by herself, and under the worried eyes of Qin Lian, Zhang Ruohan and others, she took the snow knife and went out with Qianhe and Hutuo.It was a strong request from everyone in the family for Qianhe to go together, Shen Sui did not refuse.As for the destination of Shen Sui's trip, everyone knew that it was the Qin Mansion.

The Qin Mansion is located in Daozhengfang. When Zhang Ruohan was under the blocked city gate in the morning, he sent a pigeon to the Chang'an headquarters, asking the Chang'an headquarters to keep an eye on the Qin Mansion.However, what is surprising is that just now, Chang'an headquarters sent back a message: Qin Zhen had returned home yesterday afternoon.

Such a major event happened in Daozhengfang, but Qin Zhen took this time to return to Chang'an?Shen Sui didn't know if it was a coincidence or something else, but she had to go see her grandfather as a matter of urgency.

When she stood at the door of the familiar mansion in Daozhengfang Xiqu, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she visited the Qin Mansion when she first returned to Chang'an five years ago.It was snowing heavily that day, and the whole of Chang'an was freezing cold. She and her grandfather sat around the stove, chatting about the court situation.The sky was overcast and cloudy today, and there was no trace of people on the street. She stood at the door with Qianhe and Hutuo, and knocked on the door of the Qin Mansion.

It was still the familiar old housekeeper who opened the door. Seeing Shen Sui appearing, he smiled and let the three of Shen Sui in:

"The Lord is in the study, and he told me in the morning that maybe you will come soon." The old butler laughed.

Shen Sui didn't say a word, following the old housekeeper through the courtyard corridor, when she saw the word "Silver Pot" carved on the stone arch in the courtyard of the study again, something seemed to recall in her mind, and her lips gradually tightened .

The door of the study opened, the butler withdrew, and Qianhe and Hutuo stood guard outside the door.When Shen Sui stepped into the house, he heard the familiar old voice:

"Bo Zhao, it's been four years, and you still know you want to see me."

The old man in ocher robe and white beard was sitting behind the desk, looking at her with raised eyebrows and a smile.Shen Sui stood still, raised his hands in front of his body, bowed down, bent down and kowtowed:

"Grandson is unfilial. I haven't seen you in four years. How can grandpa be safe?"

She slowly raised herself up and saw the inexplicable expression on the old man's face.After an unknown amount of time, the old man slowly got up, walked up to Shen Sui, and helped her up:

"Bo Zhao, in recent years, I have always thought that maybe such a day will come soon. Recently, I have been dreaming about your mother. I know that you are coming to me."

"You already knew that I was your granddaughter..." Shen Sui said.

"Yes."

"When did you know?"

"I never lost track of you."

"How much did you do?"

"most."

"why?"

"Sit down, Bo Zhao, sit down, let's talk slowly." He didn't answer, and pointed to the mat beside him.Shen Sui walked over and sat down.

He slowly sat down behind the desk, sighed, and said:

"Bo Zhao, you are familiar with history books, but do you know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a story about the 'Orphan of the Zhao Family'?"

Shen Sui's whole body trembled, suddenly the tip of his nose became sour, and tears welled up.

"You are my orphan of the Zhao family." The old man said slowly with a trembling voice.

The author has something to say: It doesn't matter if you are confused now, you will suddenly realize it soon.Qin Zhen said that he did most of the things, which means that some things were not done by him.What he did will be revealed in the next chapter.
