Youzhou Prefecture Government Office.
When Chen Yutian brought Long Wei to the door, Ling Yuntian was immediately startled.
"Master Chen, I don't know what you are..."
His eyes swept around the bodies of these dragon guards, wondering what kind of medicine Chen Yutian was selling in his gourd.
But Chen Yutian smiled slightly.
"Nothing, I just came to tell Mr. Ling some bad news. Just last night, Han Wuzuo was assassinated by Huadie."
Ling Yuntian's eyes suddenly tightened upon hearing this.
"How could this be?"
"Oh...it's all a long story..."
Chen Yutian sighed, but did not elaborate on the matter.
Instead, he took Long Wei, Gongsun, and Huo Yuanji directly to the autopsy room where Han Wuzuo usually worked.
"You guys are guarding the door. No one is allowed in without my permission. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The dragon guards responded in unison!
Ling Yuntian stood outside the door, looking a little thoughtful.
"Sigh... I don't know how many clues there are in this autopsy room. This imperial envoy actually runs here every day..."
A voice grumbled.
Fang Jing walked over slowly and whispered to Ling Yuntian:
"Sir, do you think he will..."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Yuntian opened his mouth and interrupted!
"Shut up! How can you guess what my lord is thinking?"
"Yes! Yes! The villain has realized his mistake."
Fang Jing's eyes flickered slightly and he bowed to apologize.
Inside the autopsy room.
icehouse.
Next to the simple wooden bed where Bai Xiuxiu's body was placed, Chen Yutian slowly squatted down.
Then, the light in his eyes flashed slightly!
"Sure enough, here..." He smiled slightly.
Gongsun and Huo Yuan were very curious, and they knelt down with him. Immediately, their faces showed a touch of incredible surprise.
Under the wooden bed, I saw a flat wooden box, tightly pressed against the wooden bed board.
This wooden box is not too big. Even though it is tightly attached to the bed board, it is still difficult to see its existence if you don't look carefully.
"Great, I finally found it!"
Huo Yuanji reached out and took out the wooden box from the bed board.
It turned out that one side of the wooden box was covered with glue, and because it was in an ice cellar, the wooden box firmly pressed against the bed board and would not fall off.
"But how do you know, sir, that this thing is hidden here and not in Han Leng's own home?"
Gongsun looked at the wooden box, pondered for a moment, and asked.
"It's very simple. In fact, Han Leng told you and me about this before he died."
With a slight smile, Chen Yutian reached out and took the wooden box from Gongsun's hand.
"oh?"
The sparkle in Gongsun's eyes flashed away.
"Sir, you mean...that strange gesture?"
"Yeah. Including that gesture, but that's only part of the whole hint." Chen Yutian nodded.
"Part of it?"
Huo Yuanji was surprised.
"Yes, the gesture pointing to the ground is only part of the whole hint. The whole hint is divided into three parts. The other two parts are Han Leng's own body and the last two words he said."
"Corpse? Any last words?"
Huo Yuanji folded his arms and fell into deep thought.
Gongsun also touched his chin, with a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
"That's right. If you think about it carefully, Han Leng's body fell to the ground at that time, pointing to the ground with his hand, and said two words 'here'. No matter who saw this situation at first sight, he would definitely Think he’s saying there’s something underneath the ground. Right?”
"That's right."
The two nodded.
"Including us and those who were 'first to get there' this morning, that was what we thought at the beginning."
"But just because of this, we have overlooked a very important thing!"
Chen Yutian said lightly.
"important things?"
Gongsun and Huo Yuanji looked at each other, feeling a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
"What's important?"
"Please think carefully about what Han Leng said before he was assassinated by Huadie..."
Chen Yutian reminded the two of them.
The two thought about it carefully. Before Han Leng was stabbed, he seemed to be saying... something about the man behind the scenes.
Suddenly, their eyes flashed at the same time!
They remembered.
Han Leng's original words at that time were: "Yes, I know. But I can't tell you. I know his methods very well. Once I say his name, I will die immediately..."
"I see!"
Gongsun suddenly realized!
Chen Yutian also nodded.
"Yes, his words at that time fully demonstrated that he already knew that he would be killed by the mastermind behind the scenes, and based on his understanding of that person, he must have thought that once he died, his family would definitely be in trouble. Search."
"So, I infer from this that it is very possible that he did not hide the things in his home."
"That makes sense!!"
Huo Yuanji nodded in agreement.
Chen Yutianze opened the wooden box in his hand while continuing to explain.
"Since he didn't hide anything at home, it was obvious that we had misinterpreted his hint. So I rethought the whole hint, and finally I discovered that the so-called hint actually had to include his own body. whole."
"oh?"
"Actually, the entire hint, plus his own corpse, is a truly complete hint. And when the entire hint is explained, it is..."
With that said, Chen Yutian pointed at Bai Xiuxiu's body.
"Things are under the body!!"
"This is the correct explanation of the entire suggestion!!"
As soon as Chen Yutian said this, Huo Yuanji and Gongsun immediately opened their eyes!
Indeed, Han Leng's finger at that time was indeed pointing to a floor tile under his body.
Therefore, Chen Yutian's solution is indeed feasible.
As for why I thought of this through the corpse, it's even simpler.
After all, since the things were not in his home, it also meant that they were not under his own body.
As for the place where he usually visited, the only place where he could come into contact with corpses was the autopsy room of the state government.
"But, sir, how did you know that the things were hidden under the bed of Bai Xiuxiu's body?"
Gongsun thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Chen Yutian went directly to the bedside of Bai Xiuxiu's corpse as soon as he entered the ice cellar. There were obviously a lot of corpses here!
"This..."
Chen Yutian smiled, a little helpless.
"Actually, I made a guess. Because Han Leng was killed entirely because of the manipulation on Bai Xiuxiu's body, so I guess that if he hid something, he would hide it under Bai Xiuxiu's body."
"So, you took a gamble this time?"
"Yeah. Simply, I made the right bet!"
With that said, Chen Yutian picked up his right hand.
In his hand, he held several pieces of white paper.
That was taken from the wooden box that was found.
Gongsun took a look at these papers, and his eyes suddenly shone with dazzling light.
"This...this is...Bai Xiuxiu's real corpse!"
"What?"
Huo Yuanji was startled, and then he came over to take a closer look at the contents on the pieces of paper.
This is indeed a corpse!
Moreover, the name column of the corpse box does indeed contain the word Bai Xiuxiu!
The most important thing is that in the column for the cause of death of the deceased, the cause of death was not strangled to death as they had seen before, but these words were written:
"Based on the preliminary inference of the deceased's injuries, it is believed that he was pushed down from stairs and other places and died."
"The fatal injury was on the back of the head."
Seeing such words, everyone immediately confirmed that this was indeed a real corpse. Not the fake ones that were forged before.
"Look here!"
Huo Yuanji pointed at the column of death time on the corpse and shouted.
Chen Yutian and Gongsun looked along his direction.
I saw six words written on it.
Around midnight hour
Seeing this, Chen Yutian finally understood.
It turned out that in addition to the hands and feet discovered previously, even the time of death of the corpse had been faked.
According to the time of death on the corpse, Liu Jingyan had not yet gone out when the deceased died.
Then of course he can't be a murderer.
In this case, why did Ling Yuntian insist that it was Liu Jingyan who killed the person?
Is it just because of the items he picked up that belonged to the deceased?
But if those things were really picked up by Liu Jingyan, then who on earth deliberately took away the deceased's belongings and discarded them on the road?
It was Han Leng who tampered with the corpse.
Then he should be the one who took away the belongings from the corpse.
After he took these things away, he should have handed them over to the person behind them.
And why did this person insist on blaming Liu Jingyan?
Wait, put the blame... Could it be that the real murderer of Bai Xiuxiu was actually the mastermind behind the scenes...
He first killed people and dumped the bodies, and then used gambling debts and the new rule that people in public affairs were not allowed to gamble to coerce Han Leng to do something on the bodies and take away his belongings...
No, no, that doesn’t make sense!
Chen Yutian shook his head and rejected this reasoning.
What if... he took away the deceased's belongings after the murder, then dumped the body in the wilderness, and finally forced Han Leng to do something with the body, in order to unjustly accuse the person who picked up the deceased's belongings?
But in this case, how to explain the four sets of male footprints at the scene?
There's no way four people could have killed someone, right?
Chen Yutian felt that his mind was like a mess and he couldn't sort it out at all.
But at this moment, Huo Yuanji suddenly thought of something!
"By the way, why was Huadie the one who assassinated Han Leng last night?"
"What's the meaning?"
Gongsun asked, not knowing why.
"What I mean is... the case Han Leng was involved in was obviously the murder of Bai Xiuxiu. This case should have nothing to do with Huadie. Why did Huadie suddenly come to assassinate Han Leng last night?"
After hearing this, Gongsun was also stunned!
yes! The cases that Hua Die has been involved in all this time have always been the case in Haixiangju, which has nothing to do with the murder of Bai Xiuxiu.
But why did she kill someone last night?
After thinking about it, Gongsun remembered what the Bai brothers and sisters had said before.
Because we heard before that the person who could provide the murderer with an alibi was assassinated by Huadie... Moreover, the two waiters who worked in the inn on the day the little sister disappeared, as well as the inn owner were assassinated by her... ...So we suspect that she is related to the murder of my little sister, that's why..."
"The day Bai Xiuxiu disappeared happened to be the fifth day of February, and the guests at Haixiang Residence were killed because of a mysterious incident that happened on the fifth day of February. Both of them coincidentally happened on the fifth day of February. Could there be something wrong? Related?"
Gongsun pondered.
"In the case of Bai Xiuxiu, after what Han Leng said, it is certain that there must be a mastermind behind it."
"By analyzing the behavior of Hua Butterfly, we can confirm that there is someone behind the matter of living in a foreign country. Otherwise, given her reputation in the world, she would not have done such a thing."
"There are masterminds behind both cases, and both were able to mobilize Huadie to carry out assassination missions..."
"This is really...what a coincidence..."
"Could it be..."
Thinking of this, an incredible but most reasonable idea immediately came to Gongsun's mind.
At this time, Huo Yuanji also hesitated to express his thoughts.
"Do you think... these two cases, are they originally the same case..."
He looked at Gongsun with some uncertainty.
Gongsun's eyes flickered for a long time, but he still couldn't give an answer.
"If that's the case, then this case would be very interesting..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
I saw that Chen Yutian had finished thinking at some point and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"But... I also think it will be like this. After all, there are too many coincidences between these two things... We need to investigate carefully."
Hearing this, Gongsun and Huo Yuanji looked at each other and looked at him at the same time.
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Yutian smiled lightly.
"I plan to... go back to the hotel first..."
"After all...it's not very convenient to talk here."
After saying this, he smiled slightly and walked out of the ice cellar.
Gongsun and Huo Yuanji looked at each other, and both saw a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.
Then he put away the discovered corpse and left with Huo Yuanji following him...
As soon as he left the autopsy room, he saw Ling Yuntian coming towards him with a square mirror.
"Master Chen, are you done?"
"That's right. By the way, Master Ling, due to some special reasons, it's inconvenient to tell you about Han Wu's work. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
"In this case, I won't bother Mr. Ling anymore. If there is anything else, I will come to the government office again for advice. I'll take my leave first, please!"
After saying that, Chen Yutian left with the dragon guards.
Ling Yuntian and Fang Jing watched the large number of people leaving in a mighty manner, each with their own thoughts in mind.
"Sir, look at this..."
Fang Jing slightly clasped his fists and said respectfully to Ling Yuntian.
Ling Yuntian looked back at the autopsy room.
"Master Fang."
"exist."
"I will recruit a co-operator for the government office later. Han Leng passed away, but our government office cannot be without a co-operator."
"clear."
After saying that, Ling Yuntian turned and left.
Before leaving, he said something as if he was mocking himself.
"Pawns like me should never guess what the Prime Minister is thinking. As long as we follow the Prime Minister's orders step by step, we can win this game."
When he finished speaking, he was no longer in the yard.
But Fang Jing suddenly turned pale, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
