"Brother Six!" One of Ying Liu's subordinates ran in with two large paper bags. When he saw Shen Cha and Jin Jing, he quickly saluted, "Boss, military advisor, this is from the post room named Mu Kui and Mu Hua. What was found was yellow powder inside, I don’t know what it is and what it does for the moment!”
"Brother Six!" Another soldier also rushed in, holding the same paper bag in his hand. When he opened it, he saw powder of the same color.
"Where did you find this?" Shen Cha looked at the four paper bags spread out on the table, gently raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a sarcastic smile, "There is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in this post house, it's really surprising. Unexpected."
"It was found under the floor of the dining room." The soldier who came in later explained, "There was nothing found in the pots, pans, spoons, or water jars in the dining room."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Cha nodded towards him and said to Wanyan Zhanxiong and Yelu Zesheng, "Now the case is clear. It was a few postmen who put these yellow powders in the water and food of the mission. Let them faint. However, this is not the cause of the death of the mission. Just now, Dr. Jin said that they died of suffocation caused by carbon gas poisoning. I wonder if you noticed that there are tables beside the bed, wardrobe and before entering. There is a charcoal pot beside the door, and the charcoal inside is burned. The people of the mission should be very noble to the postmen, and they should use the best charcoal blocks, but please take a look... "Chen Cha motioned to Shadow Six to bring over the charcoal basin and place the blackened charcoal blocks on the table, "This should be the lowest-grade charcoal block and is most likely to cause charcoal gas poisoning."
"But if that's the case, why go to all the trouble to throw the body over to the Liao Kingdom?" Wanyan Zhanxiong blinked, "Just to frame the blame?"
"The old general should be very clear about the current situation in your country. Because Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping did not take many measures to provide disaster relief, the number of victims in your country has increased sharply, and the number of people who have died has also increased. There are more and more people's dissatisfaction." Jin Jing shook his fan, "Although the king and commander-in-chief of your country tried their best to suppress this situation, they had little effect. If at this time, Jin Jing If the Chinese envoy is killed by the Liao people, everyone's attention can be diverted instantly and all the hatred will be focused on the Liao people, and their own pressure will be reduced. There is also a very important point, Wanyan and Wen was the noble who led the fight against them and disagreed with the disaster relief strategy. Once he dies, the nobles who followed him will be leaderless, and the resistance faced by Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping will disappear."
"The military advisor is right!" Yelu Zesheng nodded in agreement, "The father and daughter have always been ruthless in their actions. The deaths of Wanyan and Wen will benefit them without any harm. Kill the biggest thorn in your side. , put the blame on the enemy country, transfer everyone's hatred to us, and then implement their disaster relief strategy. It really serves multiple purposes. Even if their conspiracy is discovered by us, they can still evade it, and the postman is theirs. Scapegoats, they will never admit that they instigated this case unless we can find evidence to prove it."
"Old General, it is absolutely impossible for them to let us find conclusive evidence. This is the most important thing. Now that we can prove that the postmen did this case, we can only convict the postmen and have nothing to do with them." Jin Jing knocked on the table with the handle of the fan, "To say the least, even if they find it, they won't admit it. Instead of blaming it on the postmen and saying that it has nothing to do with them, they have to say that it was framed by us." Putting the blame on each other, we all know very well what kind of people they are, and they can do such a thing without any pressure, right?"
"I agree!" Wanyan Zhanxiong nodded, "This is what they can do, but the people who did this are dead soldiers, they can't clean themselves up, can they?"
"They can totally shirk it. It's the dead soldier's own decision." Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha who said nothing, "General, what do you think?"
"What do you think?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Whether it was Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping's instigation, or whether it was Yi Zhong's own decision, it all happened after the case was over. It has little to do with us. The main thing is... She looked at Yelu Zesheng and said, "Let's see if your king and regent hold him accountable."
"So, what were you thinking about just now?"
"I'm thinking, if these four packets are drugged, how can they ensure that they don't get infected?" Shen Cha touched his chin, "They want to ensure that everyone in this town, except themselves, is either unconscious or unconscious. In a state of confusion." She looked at Ying Liu, "Did you not notice anything special last night?"
"Yes, we asked around and found that everyone was in the same state. They were in a daze and had no idea what was going on outside." Ying Liu nodded, "I asked the people at Qingfeng Tea House and several restaurants nearby. The shopkeeper and the clerk are like this too."
"So, how did they do it? Through the water source?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other, "The water source in the town is shared, right?"
"Yes!" Ying Liu explained, "There are a total of six wells in the town, two on our side and two on the other side of Liao. Jin's side is a little special. There is a well behind the post house and one at the front door. "
"The two wells in the Liao Kingdom contain the largest amount of drug, and the public areas are comparable to ours. The amount they gave to the envoys is basically the same as that in the Liao Kingdom, so they can complete this murder case." Shen Cha He raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that the evidence is complete, we can ask those postmen."
When a group of people came down from the second floor, they saw the postmen gathered in the lobby. Some were sitting obediently, and a few were not sitting particularly comfortably, with their legs crossed and impatient expressions on their faces.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." Jin Jing stood in front of Shen Cha and looked at the ten postmen. "We have a few questions to ask you and hope you answer them truthfully. If you hide something or don't tell the truth... You bear the consequences at your own risk!”
"Who are you trying to scare by saying this?"
A postman whispered something, because the surroundings were extremely quiet, he was the only one speaking, and no matter how small the voice was, he could still hear it clearly.
"Then let's start with you first!" Jin Jing pointed at the postman who was speaking, "Please come to the front!"
The postman didn't want to go at first, but Yeluling's bodyguard stood in front of him after Jin Jing finished speaking, and he came over reluctantly.
"What's your name?" Jin Jing sat next to Shen Cha, preparing paper and pen to record everyone's confessions.
"Mukui!"
Hearing this name, Shen Cha and Jin Jing exchanged a look. It was considered an accident, and the suspected murderer was found out first.
"This brother!" Jin Jing looked at the Liao guards standing next to Mu Kui, "Please search him!"
"What are you doing?" Seeing that the bodyguard wanted to search herself after listening to Jin Jing's words, Mu Kui took a big step back, "You can't do this to me!"
"Because you are a dead soldier of the King of Jin, right?" Shen Cha knocked on the table, "Your brother also spoke to us in the same tone just now, and as a result, we threw him into an ice cellar with your country's envoys I went to keep him company. Please don’t misunderstand me, he is still alive and not dead.”
"You... how do you know?" Mu Kui looked at Shen Cha and Jin Jing blankly, and suddenly turned his attention to Wanyan Zhanxiong, "You are a traitor!"
"Stop resisting needlessly, it's useless!" Jin Jing waved her hand, "Brother, shut his mouth and search him!"
Mu Kui wanted to run away, but was blocked by Yeluling's personal guards on both sides, so she had no choice but to surrender.
"Commander Jin, we have discovered something!" One of the tall guards took out a small note from the inside of Mu Kui's boot and handed it to Jin Jing. "Besides this, there is nothing else on him, but on his arm, there is a strange flower!"
"A strange flower?" Jin Jing stood up and walked over to take a look, "This is... wintersweet? So, the symbol of a dead soldier is wintersweet?"
"It's very possible." Shen Cha also walked over and took a look, pulled open his collar and touched his collar, "There is something inside!" He took out a dagger from his boot and carefully scratched it. While slicing the collar, Shen Cha said, "The dagger is sharp, don't move it, otherwise, your life will not be saved!" She slit the collar, took out a bell from it, and picked it up with them. The one that arrived was exactly the same as the one in Jin Guozuo's hand. "They are indeed in the same group!"
Shen Cha took the bell and walked back and placed it in front of Wanyan Zhanxiong and Yelu Zesheng.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Jin Jing nodded towards the few guards, "By the way, let's search the rest of them too, so as not to hide anything on them!"
"Also, open their mouths and see where they hid the poison sacs."
While speaking, Shen Cha waved his hand and shot a sleeve arrow directly at a short postman. The sleeve arrow nailed his shoulder, causing him to open his mouth unconsciously in pain. Ying Liu rushed over and punched the postman on the cheek, knocking out the fangs hidden deep inside.
"You'd better be wiser. If you don't want to be like him, just take out the poison bag honestly, otherwise..." Ying Liu kicked the little postman and pulled out the poison bag on his shoulder. Xiujian and his boots stepped hard on the wound, causing the postman to scream in pain, "He is a lesson learned from your mistakes!" After saying that, Ying Liu leaned down and searched the postman's body, and took out his body from his waist. A wooden sign came out of his purse, with a wolf head engraved on it. This totem did not belong to Wanyan Ping, nor Wanyan Zongcheng, but the symbol on the flag of the executed former commander of the Jin Kingdom, Abuhan. When Ying Liu saw the wolf head, he was slightly startled, let go of the short postman, and quickly walked to Shen Cha's side, "Boss, this person is A Buhan's subordinate."
"Abuhan?" Jin Jing came over to look at the wooden sign and handed it to Wanyan Zhanxiong, "Old General, do you recognize this?"
"I know, A Buhan's secret token." Wanyan Zhanxiong nodded, "The person holding this token can mobilize troops at will without the king's permission. This is why Wanyan Ping must get rid of A Buhan. The reason why Bu Han is not to get rid of him is because he has the intention to rebel, but because his rebellion has been put into practice silently."
Shen Cha nodded. She did not rush to a conclusion. Abuhan's secret token appeared, and the water inside was a little more mixed. The person holding Abuhan's secret token was buried by Abuhan among the dead men. Nails, or dead soldiers, were buried in Abuhan's people. If it's the former, what role did he play in this case. If it was the latter, Abuhan would have died long ago, and the secret token would be invalid, so what would be the point of leaving it on him.
Shen Cha sighed softly. The Kingdom of Jin was not a big place, but internal fighting was intertwined with each other. All the forces were intertwined. It was so chaotic!
"General Shen and Military Advisor Jin have found the holder of that one!" The guard grabbed a postman who looked somewhat similar to Mu Kui and came to the front. "He also has a wintersweet flower on his arm!"
"Judging from your appearance, you should be brothers!" Jin Jing looked at Mu Kui, then at the postman who was found out, "You are that Mu Hua!"
"Yes, I am Mu Hua!" The postman nodded, pointed at Mu Kui, and said, "He is my brother!"
"Just admit it!" Jin Jing asked Ying Wu to put the two packets of medicinal powder found from the rooms of Mu Kui and Mu Hua on the table, "Please tell us, what are these and what do you use them for?" use!"
"Drug!" Mu Hua said openly. When he saw his brother staring at him, he spread his hands, "Brother, we can't hide the matter now. Everyone is dead anyway, our mission It has been successfully completed, now that they have found the head, just admit it!"
"You...you...how could you..."
"Why not?" Mu Hua sneered, "Why not? We have done this, no matter whether we succeed or not, we will not escape death in the end. If we succeed, the master will kill people and silence them. If we fail, the master will If they think we are not doing things well, they will kill us. They have never regarded us as human beings. Ever since our brothers, and..." Mu Hua pointed out three people behind him, "and these brothers, they have become You know how they treat us as their dead soldiers. They shout and drink around, but they never treat us as human beings. This time, they finally treated us politely, but in the end, they made us do it again. This kind of thing!" Mu Hua seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to vent, regardless of his brother's obstruction. He looked at Wanyan Zhanxiong, Yelu Zesheng, and then at Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "Can you agree to my request? If you agree, I will tell you everything exactly."
"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms now?" Shen Cha looked at Mu Hua, "Or are you so confident that you are sure that we don't have key evidence to accuse you?"
"That's what happened. So, General Shen, it's up to you whether you want to solve the case or not!"
