The scene was chaotic.
With the arrival of each clan member of the Xiao family in Liangzhou, various noisy voices began to sound one after another. There was no final word. The situation was chaotic, with accusations and abuses being exchanged.
He doesn't look like a high-ranking family member at all, but like a vegetable market vendor.
Dou Changsheng watched with cold eyes, unable to understand their feelings.
After all, although Old Liang Wang was his father-in-law, when Dou Changsheng met Old Liang Wang for the first time, not only did he not say a word, but he also saw the old Liang Wang's body.
"enough."
"Stop arguing."
"The top priority now is to find the murderer."
After arriving at the scene, Xiao Qingyi, who looked sad, took a long time to come back to his senses and looked at the quarreling clansmen. His voice was blessed with magic power and instantly suppressed the noisy sounds.
Xiao Qingyi slowly walked up to Dou Changsheng, bowed down in person and said, "Please Chen Hou take action to investigate the real culprit."
One after another, their gazes began to move towards Dou Changsheng. At this moment, they seemed to have just discovered Dou Changsheng. Someone immediately said with an unpleasant look on his face: "His Highness died because of Dou Changsheng."
"Had it not been for the arrival of Dou Changsheng, His Highness would not have planned to meet at the pavilion in the lake and be assassinated."
"The suspicion of Dou Changsheng is not small. How can we let Dou Changsheng investigate?"
Yue Banxian sneered and looked at the person who spoke with disgust. He instantly transformed into a vanguard under Dou Changsheng's seat. He pointed his finger at the person who spoke and said, "This person has evil intentions."
"Now that His Highness is dead, the most important thing is to investigate the real culprit and find out the murderer who committed this case. Not only to avenge His Highness, but also to eliminate the hidden dangers of your Xiao family."
"After all, I was able to kill His Highness quietly this time. It must have been committed by an acquaintance."
"And you opened your mouth to obstruct, deliberately arousing the anger of the tribe, and wanted to disturb the audience. What is the purpose of doing this?"
"You are afraid that my nephew will find out the real culprit, so you are afraid."
Yue Banxian is not willing to be weak. If his side is weak, the other side will have to push forward. They have a lot of suspicions, even if it can be seen that they are not strong enough to kill Old Liang Wang. ,
But now the Xiao family is angry, even in panic. If they continue, they may lose their minds, so they regard them as scapegoats, and try to divert misfortune to the east as a way to vent their anger.
Although the possibility of this situation happening is very low, Yue Banxian will not gamble and put himself in danger.
"you."
The person who spoke was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yue Banxian, ready to curse in anger. When had he ever been so angry?
But just as he raised his arm, someone was holding his shoulder. This was a man with snow-white hair. His skin was rosy and could be broken with a finger. His hair was held up by a hairpin. The rare thing was not a brocade robe, but Bagua robe.
Straw sandals and cassock, this is the attire of a Taoist priest.
The other party came in an understatement, but his breath connected with heaven and earth, already blending with heaven and earth.
No one can ignore the other. No matter where they stand, they are the focus of the crowd and the center of the world.
This is a second-grade martial arts master, a great master.
Taoist Xiao's calm eyes stared at the person who spoke indifferently. The anger and anger of the other person disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he had been poured with cold water. At this time, his heart became cold.
He cursed secretly in his heart, it was this wolf cub of the Xiao family who came.
This wolf cub is ruthless and ruthless, and he is merciless to his own people. Moreover, his strength is extremely high, which means that His Highness can defeat him. Now that His Highness is dead, he does not dare to provoke him.
Taoist Xiao calmly nodded to Xiao Qingyi, then looked at Dou Changsheng and said, "Chen Hou can rest assured to investigate. The Pindao Association will always follow. No matter who is involved, they must cooperate."
"If anyone dares to disobey, then let him accompany His Highness."
Dou Changsheng looked at Daoren Xiao, this was another suspect.
The great master of the second level of martial arts had the ability to assassinate the old King Liang.
Looking around at everyone, he was surprised at Xiao's strength. Now he had gathered two great masters.
Xiao Tianzuo and this Taoist.
If we include Xiao Tianyou, the cavalry general in Shendu, and the three great masters of the Xiao family in Liangzhou, Xiao Tianzuo has a first-class semi-divine soldier named Silver Dragon Golden Armor. After the Silver Dragon Golden Armor is truly revived, he has a first-class martial arts combat power.
This kind of strength has obviously increased the strength of the Eighteenth Aristocratic Family. The position of the head of the Eighteenth Aristocratic Family, even without the power of the imperial court, Liangzhou Xiao's position is still secure.
The old King Liang also worked hard, and now the Xiao family is able to maintain its power even after his death, and even remain glorious for hundreds of years.
Feeling the gazes coming from one after another, Dou Changsheng said unceremoniously: "Although it is too late to block Xiao Yuan now, the blockade that should be done must be done."
"From now on, no one in Xiao Yuan can leave."
Taoist Xiao nodded and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Chen, not even a fly can fly out now."
Dou Changsheng strode towards the corpse of Old Liang Wang and said at the same time: "Now we need to determine the time of Old Liang Wang's death, and then use this time to judge what you were doing at that time."
"Is there anyone to prove it?"
Dou Changsheng walked to Old Liang Wang and began to carefully examine the body. Dou Changsheng was professional in this aspect. During the six-door training period, autopsy was a must-learn item.
At the same time, he asked Taoist Xiao: "Besides the hussar general from the capital of God, among the great masters of the Xiao family, who else is not here?"
Xiao Qingyi's cold voice answered: "This is the entire strength of the Xiao family."
Taoist Xiao continued: "Marquis Chen is not an outsider, and he does not hide anything from Marquis Chen."
"There are three grandmasters of the Xiao family, and there are nine grandmasters in total."
Dou Changsheng was doing the autopsy, and he couldn't help but pause. There were a lot of masters there.
The Xiao family is not a traditional eighteenth-generation family, but an upstart that has emerged since the Taizong period of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Logically speaking, the number of great masters should exceed that of grand masters.
After all, the descendants of the old Prince Liang are all talented. With the prominence of the Xiao family and the resources they have, it is difficult to produce a first-class martial artist, but it is not difficult for anyone with basic master qualifications to be promoted to a great master.
The old king of Liang fought in the north and south, but he plundered countless good things.
Although it is difficult to start a business, as long as the business is successful, there are many talented people in the second generation. The real start of collapse is in the third generation. Those who have not experienced the difficulties of starting a business and are born into wealth can easily be eroded by wealth.
As if sensing Dou Changsheng's doubts, Taoist Xiao sneered and said, "There are not many members of the Xiao family, only four of them, and two of them were pushed up by His Highness."
"The resources consumed are enough to turn four or five geniuses into masters."
"The remaining five grandmasters are all related by marriage to the Xiao family."
No unnecessary words were said, but Dou Changsheng understood, wasn't he just like this?
When the Xiao family married a daughter, Peipianpidian came and became the strength of the Xiao family. However, unlike them, Dou Changsheng had better qualifications, so the person who married Dou Changsheng was the legitimate daughter.
Thinking of Xiao Baiyi, Dou Changsheng had no doubts.
The old Liang King began to form an impression in Dou Changsheng's mind that in order to increase the strength of the family, he sacrificed his eldest son Xiao Tianzuo, and in order to obtain the Cao family's Taoist soldiers, he sacrificed Xiao Baiyi.
After sacrificing Xiao Qingyi for herself, other masters also married Xiao's daughter.
This is a guy who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, has a heart of iron, and has no affection for his children at all.
However, Dou Changsheng knew that this was the impression he formed based on the information he had. It might be completely different from the real Mr. Liang Wang. The choices he made in many matters were not necessarily his original intentions.
But even so, the strength of the Liangzhou Xiao family is still too strong.
If the old King Liang had not died, there would be nine grandmasters, two great grandmasters, and two supreme grandmasters.
Such strong strength is also due to the five grandmasters with other surnames. These grandmasters have taken refuge in the Xiao family because of their strength. They are naturally trustworthy when they are strong, but they are unreliable if something goes wrong.
It can be the icing on the cake, but it cannot be a timely help.
While Dou Changsheng was inspecting the corpse, Taoist Xiao continued to speak: "Among the nine grandmasters, of the two grandmasters of the Xiao family, one is in Shendu and the other is in Yandi Army."
"Three of the five grandmasters with foreign surnames are not in Liangzhou, either in Shu or in the south."
"So now four grandmasters, two grandmasters of the Xiao family, and two grandmasters with other surnames are in Liangzhou."
"Among them, Ma Boran likes to be lively and lives in Daliang City all year round. Pindao has sent people to invite him."
"The remaining three grandmasters, Xiao Tianming, Xiao Tianling, and Li Changgui are all here."
Taoist Xiao began to point to the masters one by one and began to introduce them to Dou Changsheng. This made Dou Changsheng feel a lot relieved. The three masters with foreign surnames did not completely fall to the Xiao family. They were only included because of their in-laws. .
Only Ma Boran and Li Changgui have been living in Liangzhou. It is obvious that they have completely transformed into Xiao, except that they have the last name Xiao.
Three of the nine grandmasters were removed, which made Dou Changsheng easier to accept. At least it was not close to double digits, and it just sounded good.
After introducing the Grandmaster, Taoist Xiao stopped talking, because there was no need to introduce the Grandmaster.
It would still be necessary if Dou Changsheng had just left the Capital of Gods. Now Dou Changsheng has acquired the power of a Grandmaster and has killed several Grandmasters in a row. His cards are on the rise and his friendship level has also risen. .
Without the strength of a grandmaster, or the combat power of a grandmaster, how could he be embarrassed to deal with Dou Changsheng.
Now, excluding the great grandmaster Xiao Tianyou who is far away in the divine capital, there are two grandmasters of the Xiao family and three grandmasters with other surnames.
The remaining ones are Grand Master Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Daoren.
Grand masters Xiao Tianming, Xiao Tianling, Li Changgui, Ma Boran.
Two great masters, four masters, a total of six people are the most suspect.
They have the ability to sneak attack on King Lao Liang, and they are likely to succeed.
But the two most suspects are the two great masters.
But things will definitely not be that simple. If this is the case, there is no need for Xiao to ask himself to investigate the case.
This world is very big. After the East China Sea Longmen group, Dou Changsheng knew all the races and many gods and demons.
There are various secret techniques emerging one after another. For example, Ye Wumian is able to transform into an ever-changing person. It is also possible to pretend to be an acquaintance of King Lao Liang with the help of different techniques, human skin masks, martial arts magical powers, etc.
With complicated thoughts, Dou Changsheng began to carefully examine the body of Old Liang Wang to verify the injuries of Old Liang Wang. The first thing he looked at was the wound of Old Liang Wang.
The wound looked very smooth. Dou Changsheng could imagine that Old Liang Wang was struck on the head by someone, and the weapon was also a sharp weapon, extremely sharp.
Only then can he cut off the head of the old Liang Wang with one sword.
King Lao Liang was a general in the army, and he knew how to support the military formation. It was obvious that he was a strong man in both Qi and body training, so he could kill the supreme master with his sword and become famous and powerful in the world.
Dou Changsheng would not simply think that the dual cultivation of body and qi was only his own patent and that others could not succeed.
If Lao Liang Wang's life were written down in words, it would be a legend, enough to play a leading role.
The young man is determined, gets adventures, fights in the north and south, one by one, there is so much to write about.
If a supreme master wants to condense the high-grade Dharma, he must master two characteristics of gods and demons. Not surprisingly, they are [blood of red gold] and [Dharma has Yuanling].
After completing the transformation of [Red Gold Blood], even if Old Liang Wang's Qi and blood have declined and his tempered bones have softened, with his martial arts attainments in body refining, ordinary swords are difficult to damage, even spiritual weapons and magical weapons. It is difficult to hurt Lao Liang Wang.
Being able to cut off the head with such sharpness, and leaving Old Liang Wang without any reaction.
Not only does it require a surprise attack from an acquaintance, but the weapon in hand must also be a demigod weapon, and the most important thing is to do it quickly.
Like the [Shadowless Wind], and like the Ice Soul Sword.
etc.
Dou Changsheng couldn't handle this.
How can I investigate this case? I am always treating myself as a suspect.
This line of thinking is definitely wrong.
Again.
In addition to the smooth wound on his neck, Dou Changsheng looked at other places. This time Dou Changsheng looked very carefully, but he could not find any scars, not even scratches or bruises.
The pavilion checked again and found no traces of fighting. This step was considered reassuring.
For a supreme master of the first level of martial arts, if it really breaks out, it will be earth-shattering. Even if the master breaks out, it will sweep all directions. As long as the magic power breaks out, it will definitely alarm Xiao Yuan.
A fight at the third level, even if it is silent, will destroy the environment. When the mana is activated, it can cut gold and jade, and the pavilion cannot be saved at all.
Unless this is not the first crime scene.
King Lao Liang was killed elsewhere, and then his body was moved here.
But this is not just a simple acquaintance, you must be very familiar with Xiao Yuan's situation, so that you can truly cut off the possibility of outsiders committing crimes.
After all, acquaintances are not necessarily from the Xiao clan. Old Liang Wang will definitely have several other friends, but he is so familiar with Xiao Yuan that he can only be from the Xiao clan.
After examining the body, Dou Changsheng had a lot of questions. It would be great if Lao Chen was here. With Lao Chen's ability, he would definitely be able to find more details.
To be honest, Dou Changsheng is not very good at investigating cases.
That time King Wuxiang was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but there was Lao Chen in Lu Cheng.
However, Dou Changsheng knew this very well, but outsiders did not know that in their eyes, Dou Changsheng was a famous detective in the world. They were entrenched in all directions, standing in the sky, staring at Dou Changsheng with piercing eyes.
Waiting for this world-famous detective to investigate the key clues and quickly identify the real murderer.
Dou Changsheng was not confident, but they were confident.
As long as Dou Changsheng is here, this case will be done until dark at most, or not more than three days.
Dou Changsheng also noticed their expressions. The believing eyes made Dou Changsheng feel pressure. He was just a small detective, but he was pushed step by step to the level of a detective by an unstoppable external force.
Tianji Tower should bear the primary responsibility for this.
The secondary responsibility is those conspirators. Your plans are very powerful. The imaginary is real and the real is imaginary. What is true and what is false has deceived the wise men. But you are not only on guard against wise men, ordinary people should also consider it. Just for a moment.
Whatever is true or false, the most dangerous place is the safest.
How can ordinary people think so much? They just do an ordinary check, and then something happens.
This typical example is King Wuxiang. He pretends to be Ye Wumian and wants to be a good person. It takes a lot of effort, but in the end it is all in vain.
After Dou Changsheng was silent for a while, he really had no good solution and decided to use stupid methods, just like the art of war, to form a stronghold and fight a stupid battle.
Don't look down on this method, it's an upright way, no matter how you plot or trick it, it won't work.
Dou Changsheng's method is the same now. He started to investigate bit by bit. This is correct. To give another example, it's like you go to the hospital. After registering, the doctor asks a few words, "Go take a film. Come back and see if the film starts." Take some medicine.
This is all a routine and has been fixed.
Wherever you walk, there will be traces.
As long as you investigate carefully, there will always be clues.
It's just whether you can discover it or not. This is the boundary between a detective and an ordinary person.
Dou Changsheng comforted himself, and then said to Xiao Tianming: "Brother Seven led us here. Did you see His Highness before Xiao Yuan picked me up and Uncle Shi?"
"Did Brother Seven take the initiative to greet us on his own, or did he receive orders from His Highness? Did a servant give the order, or did His Highness say it himself?"
A series of questions were asked, and the core idea was whether Xiao Tianming had ever seen the living old Liang Wang.
As Dou Changsheng spoke, everyone's eyes focused on Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming spoke calmly: "It was His Highness's order to greet you. His Highness was in the front hall at that time."
Xiao Tianming also knew what Dou Changsheng meant. After pondering for a while, he spoke: "At that time, His Highness's demeanor was as confident as usual. I can't be sure whether it was His Highness who spoke at that time or someone was pretending to do so."
"I heard that Ye Wumian has reached the third level and has a deeper understanding of the "Thousand Transformations and Formless Sutra" in the martial arts of gods and demons. Not only can he transform into a human being, but he can also become a member of all races. Even after transforming into a dragon, he can also possess the magical power of a dragon. .”
"If someone like Ye Wumian is proficient in disguise, it's really hard for me to judge."
"Because His Highness called me here at that time. After talking to me for a few words, I went to Xiaoyuanwai to pick you up."
Come on, the time of Lao Liang Wang’s death has not been determined, which only adds more doubts.
However, as an ordinary person, Dou Changsheng had no intention of complicating things, but said in a concise tone: "Ignoring whether His Highness is true or not, you met His Highness at that time."
"Following this clue, His Highness was alive at the time, so if something happened, it was on the way to where we are now, or something happened here."
Dou Changsheng looked at Daoist Xiao and said, "I would also like to ask this senior to select all the slaves from the front yard to this place, the slaves who are around, or the slaves who have seen His Highness."
"Make sure His Highness is really here, then lock the time and determine what everyone in Xiao Yuan is doing at this time."
"Especially think about whether you have witnesses, and then select those who don't have witnesses."
Taoist Xiao nodded and said, "It's easy. Qingyi, go in person and bring all the people here, and Chen Hou will select them himself."
This is not a small project, but Dou Changsheng did not refuse. Xiaoyuan is very big, and there must be a lot of slaves and maids living here. Dou Changsheng is not surprised that there are thousands of people.
The selection of so many people must be time-consuming. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
As the world's best detective, Dou Changsheng has not found the key clues yet, so it would be good to waste some more time and give himself time to think.
Although doing this was inefficient, and there were some things that I felt sorry for Old Liang Wang, there was nothing that could be done about it. Who made Dou Changsheng not good at investigating cases?
I still miss Lao Chen.
But thinking of Lao Chen, Dou Changsheng couldn't help but look at Uncle Shi who was mixed in with the crowd, and kindly extended his hand to greet him: "Uncle Shi, come here."
"You and Master are close friends, so you must be interested in investigating the case."
Before he finished speaking, Yue Banxian shook his head and said: "My nephew overestimated me. I know nothing about investigating cases, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help my nephew. Now it's okay for my nephew to tell me what he thinks about this case." "
"My good nephew is the world's best detective who has repeatedly solved major cases. I have no room for intervention."
Dou Changsheng chuckled and said, "Uncle Shi is so humble. I heard that Senior Sister Yue said that you and your tutor often discuss cases late at night."
"Now this major case will definitely shock the world. The murderer dared to assassinate the king. He was so audacious. This is exactly the time when Uncle Shi's help is needed."
"Uncle Shi, don't worry about being wrong. Now I just plan to listen to Uncle Shi's thoughts and verify my guesses."
Yue Banxian looked around, seeing the eyes that were looking at him one after another, especially the many eyes that were looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "Then let's talk briefly."
"I see that His Highness's wound is smooth and flat. It was injured by a sharp weapon. Ordinary sharp weapons cannot do this. It must be a demigod."
"Among the demigods, swords are not strong enough to cut, especially His Highness's copper skin and iron bones, so he has always used a knife to cut."
Yue Banxian frowned and began to express his careful analysis: "Using a sword must also be able to conceal His Highness' keen will, so he is either a strong person in the same realm, or he has some kind of concealing treasure."
"I have heard that Master Xuan She from Liangzhou has one of his most famous magic techniques, the Heavenly Snake and Heavenly Snake's Breath Condensation Technique."
"This secret technique works silently. If there is a similar secret technique, it can also be done."
Suddenly a voice interrupted Yue Banxian.
"etc."
"Why do I feel that the Heavenly Snake's Breath Condensation Technique is very familiar to me?"
"Come to think of it, doesn't my brother-in-law know how to do it?"
