"Wei Xingshu."
With his Jueying Technique, which he has already practiced to its peak, it is not difficult to do this. And it can also explain why these people looked calm when they died.
As the only person who had contact with Wei Xingshu twenty years later, Zhao Rang carefully examined the wounds on the corpses.
"Do you see anything?"
Yuan Mingkong asked.
Although he knew about Wei Xingshu, he didn't understand him well. After all, the records about him were discontinued twenty years ago. With only a few words in the dossier, no one can piece together a specific and complete image.
Zhao Rang checked three corpses in a row before replying:
"That face with the Chinese character... no, Wei Xingshu, is there any record of his habit of using weapons in the file you read?"
Yuan Mingkong thought for a while, then shook his head, but he analyzed:
"Wei Xingshu will definitely not use a weapon that is too long."
Zhao Rang asked:
"Why?"
Yuan Ming spread his hands and said:
"This is easy to understand!"
"If you create a weird movement technique like the Jue Ying Technique, and you can approach the opponent silently, then it will definitely be inconvenient to use a long sword."
Zhao Rang took over and said:
"So he used a dagger!"
Yuan Mingkong's pupils shrank, as if it brought back ancient memories.
"When you say that, I'm a little impressed. It seems like he just uses daggers, or two!"
Zhao Rang smiled softly and said:
"Two daggers with different widths and lengths, and one has a blood groove on it, while the other does not. The one with a blood groove is for yourself, and the other is for killing people."
Zhao Rang finished speaking in one breath.
"Did you see it from the wound?"
Yuan Mingkong asked in disbelief.
After thinking about it for so long, he still didn't know that Zhao Rang actually had the talent to be a detective!
The shadow guards of the Investigation Department's control of details is almost perfect.
When Yuan Mingkong first joined the Shadow Guard, he studied for three months. What you learn is not the skills, but how to deal with the traces left when doing things, and how to make inferences based on the traces left by the other party.
This is an extremely complex subject that requires mastering a lot of knowledge as a basis before you are qualified to get started.
Yuan Mingkong was considered to be extremely talented, and after three months he emerged as the number one, and only then did the Investigation Department change its attitude towards him. Regardless of his status as a prince, his own abilities are enough to convince the public.
When Zhao Rang was investigating just now, Yuan Mingkong was not idle either. But apart from the approximate time when these people died and the possible murderers, he knew nothing else.
"No, I have seen these two daggers!"
Zhao Rang said matter-of-factly.
Yuan Mingkong let out a long "Oh"... So that's it. Otherwise, he would really feel that his brother was so wise and almost a monster!
"Wei Xingshu showed me everything he had on him. There were daggers, hidden weapons, secret medicine, as well as crossbows and crossbow arrows. What a meticulous person!"
Zhao Rang clicked his tongue in surprise.
When he saw these before, he was not touched at all. Now combined with the corpses in the room, Zhao Rang gradually realized how terrifying this man was.
He worked out almost every possible scenario.
Hidden weapons are used to clear out perimeter guards, and daggers are used to kill people in the house. The secret medicine can let him know what he wants to know. The crossbow machine and crossbow arrows can not only surprise him, but also create distance for him and deal with the pursuers behind him.
"You see, everyone died from the fatal wound on the throat. This width just matched one of his daggers. And the angle and speed of the stab were very delicately controlled."
Yuan Mingkong nodded and agreed with Zhao Rang's statement.
However, although the murderer was identified, it did not help the situation.
A killer who can kill so many people silently, and has been gone for more than half a month. Unless he really has extraordinary abilities, who can find him?
Not to mention that the royal city of Shan Ye Kingdom is spacious, this time is enough for him to leave the city and escape to the grassland next door. That is like looking for a needle in a haystack. He may never think about the possibility of finding him again in this life.
When the two of them were at a loss what to do, Haidiya had already looked at the house from top to bottom and was walking down the stairs with a gloomy look on his face.
"The princess is missing!"
"Princess?"
Both Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong felt that Wei Xingshu's target must be Princess Amani of Lan Mo Kingdom. Her body would definitely be found upstairs, but what Hedie said undoubtedly made the killing more profound.
"Except for the princess, everyone's bodies are here. The guards, maids, and men are all here."
Zhao Rang asked:
"The only thing missing is the princess?"
Khadiya replied:
"The only thing missing is the princess."
Zhao Rang's expression suddenly became relaxed.
Yuan Mingkong vaguely thought of the reason, but Heidiye didn't know the reason.
"What do you think it means that the corpses are all there but the princess is missing?"
Haidiya blurted out:
"It means the princess is not dead!"
"No! It means that the princess is useful to him. You were not here when I was talking about the killer's preparations. He has three bottles of secret medicine that can make people who don't want to speak speak. Those who speak speak more, and those who speak more tell the truth."
"So this Amani princess must know what interests him."
Heidiye understood completely now.
"In other words, he kidnapped the princess in order to use secret medicine to extract a confession?"
Zhao Rang replied:
"That's what it means."
"But doesn't he know some kind of shadow magic? There is no need to kill anyone!"
Haidiya felt very sad about the deaths of the four girls around him...
Each of these four girls has their own specialties, some are practicing martial arts, some are studying medicine, and some are good at wine making, and they have all followed him for a long time. Even if it’s an object, carrying it around every day should have feelings for it, right? Not to mention four beautiful and youthful girls.
"Sir Swordsman, do you know the difference between a master and a mediocre swordsman?"
Heidiye shook his head to express his ignorance.
"Experts do things neatly and neatly. Any uncertain factors must be completely eliminated."
"He wanted to take the princess away, which was not impossible given his ability. But with so many people in the room, there were too many uncertainties, so he chose the method that seemed the stupidest and most labor-intensive, but was actually the safest. .”
Haidiya didn't react at all, although he knew what Zhao Rang said was right.
He is not a good person either. Of course he knows that the most important thing about doing something is not doing it well, but doing it safely.
The so-called prudent means that even if you fail, you will not be implicated or harmed in any way.
As long as you have stability, you will be invincible.
Being able to take away dozens of lives among his green-shirted guests without being noticed, he naturally knew the importance of safety, so he did it in the safest way.
"I have to contact Aziz."
After a long silence, Heidiye spoke.
"Aqiz is still in his Chunhua Building?"
Khadiya replied:
"But we have to wait two hours until daylight comes."
Neither Zhao Rang nor Yuan Mingkong could understand.
A huge event has already happened here, why do we have to wait another two hours? Was Hediya too able to keep his composure, or was the death of the four girls such a shock to him that he lost his mind?
"Aqizi will not come out of his house before daylight every day. When he comes out, others can't get in, and they can't even go up to that floor. The entire top floor of Chunhua Building, at sunset, After that, it’s an absolute no-go zone, and even I can’t do anything about it.”
Zhao Rang remembered that there was a story in the history books about a powerful minister who held the emperor hostage to make the princes happy and killed someone in his sleep, in order to deter Xiaoxiao who was plotting evil. What Aziz did was even more extreme than this powerful minister. He simply sealed off the entire floor, completely cutting off all contact with the outside world. Zhao Rang saw that Aqizi was a person who was very good at protecting himself, but he did not expect that Aqizi's protection of him would reach such an almost perverted level!
"Two hours... I guess Wei Xingshu already knows what he wants to know. By then, it will be hard to say whether the princess is alive or dead."
Yuan Mingkong said coldly.
He didn't want to waste a moment.
Since he knew that Wei Xingshu was not dead, finding Wei Xingshu became a more important thing than going to Jinyinhai to organize the ruined sect to produce Tongtian Pills on a large scale.
The Investigation Department has been out of business in the Western Region for twenty years.
During this period, everything about the Western Region was blank.
If Wei Xingshu still aspires to great power, then he can single-handedly fill the blank twenty years, and the significance behind it is immeasurable.
Whether it's to Dawei or himself.
Heidi also knew that if she delayed for a moment longer, Princess Amani would be in more danger. But he is really helpless now, even if he can contact Aziz immediately.
One person doesn't know what to do, and the two of them are just staring at each other.
Sometimes it doesn't mean that there is strength in numbers. If many people gather together, they may become a mob. It is better to think about it quietly.
"Where did the princess come from? I remember in Chunhua Tower, you said that she went to meet a stranger from the Western Region first?"
Zhao Rangzai carefully sorted out the causes and consequences of this incident, and finally found a point that could still be connected with Princess Amani.
"That's right! Before the princess came to Qingshan Guest, she was indeed at that stranger's place."
"Do you know where the stranger is?"
Zhao Rang asked next.
Haidiya looked troubled:
"I knew it before, but now... I don't know."
Zhao Rang asked:
"What's the meaning?"
Khadiya replied:
"After the princess entered the royal city, she sent a message to Haidiya and I, saying that we should go directly to see the stranger and ask us to take you two with us. At that time, the stranger was deep in the dark street. But where he is now, no one knows.”
Zhao Rang asked in disbelief:
"Then how to contact him? Amani came from Lanmo Country, why would he know that the stranger is deep in the underworld?"
Haidiya said:
"A middleman is needed."
After a pause, he said again:
"The middleman is not fixed either. Anyway, every time I really want to see him, the middleman will show up and lead the way."
