Everyone knows that there are many ferocious beasts on that lofty mountain, and the murderer not only shot and killed Ta Bahong, but also left a bait to lure the ferocious beasts on him. This clearly wanted the ferocious beasts to eat his bones, and then destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces!
Lin Zhang and Yan Huai's heart trembled when they heard such vicious thoughts.
"Ninth girl, why are you so sure of the murderer's intentions?!"
When Lin Zhang asked, Qin Wan looked at Lin Zhang and said, "Did Commander Lin find the broken arrow shaft just now?"
Lin Zhang shook his head, "I didn't find it. I only brought back three arrows. Both the quiver and the bow are there."
Qin Wan said, "Since the arrow shaft was not found, nine out of ten out of ten arrows is man-made, and the remaining one point is the coincidence we mentioned just now, and the arrow shaft fell in a place that is not easy to find. The possibility is too small, and Commander Lin did not find the rucksack with the bait beside the prince, so it does not exist that after the prince fell down the mountain stream, the rucksack burst and the bait was sprinkled on Ta Bahong. Therefore, the bait must be artificially wiped went up."
"There are a lot of raptors on the Weishan Mountain. Don't say that the prince was shot first, he is a living person. Everyone will be very careful not to get bait on his body. If so, isn't the murderer's intention obvious?"
"We sent people to look for it that night, but it was already dark at that time, and it was not easy to find it no matter whether it rained or not. The murderer had this in mind, to give enough time for the beast to eat the body of His Highness the Crown Prince, but He never expected that His Royal Highness fell into the mountain stream, and that night, it rained heavily!"
Yan Huai frowned, "When he fell into the mountain stream, the big beasts couldn't reach him easily, and a heavy rain washed away all the bait on him, so Prince Tuoba waited for us to rescue him."
Qin Wan nodded, "That's exactly the case, so Prince Tuoba was killed by others."
As soon as Qin Guan finished speaking, there was another commotion outside, and soon Yuan Qing walked in, "Your Majesty, it's Princess Tuoba and His Royal Highness Tuoba who have arrived..."
Yan Huai frowned, nodded, "Let them in."
Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Rui both changed into clean clothes, and when they entered the door, both of them looked dignified. When Tuoba Hong fell down, Tuoba Wu became the leader, so Tuoba Wu said, "Your Majesty, let's come Therefore, I want to ask the emperor to investigate what happened to the prince's elder brother, why he was hit by an arrow, and why he fell into the mountain stream!"
The matter of Ta Bahong was indeed weird, but everyone would have doubts. Tuo Ba Wu and Tuo Ba Rui were both close relatives of Ta Ba Hong, so they were naturally anxious to find out the truth of the matter.
Yan Huai got what Qin Wan said, and said, "Prince Tuoba was murdered."
Tuoba Wu's expression brightened, "It's natural, this is the hunting ground of the Great Zhou, and in the hunting ground are all the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and then there are the Northern Wei and Xiliang, the Northern Wei is naturally impossible, and the one who harmed the prince's brother Who is the person, please ask the emperor to investigate and deal with it impartially."
Not to mention Tuo Bahong, anyone who was murdered in the camp should be investigated, but because it is Tuo Bahong, this matter must be extra cautious, Yan Huai pondered for a moment, and ordered Yuan Qing, "Go and call Yan Late!"
When he heard it was Yan Chi, Tuoba Wu frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Wan, but pursed his lips and said nothing.
Soon, Yan Chi arrived at the tent, and Yan Huai said, "Li Muyun didn't come this time, and you were the only one who came from the Ministry of Punishment. Now, the crown prince was murdered, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. What happened to you? Go check it out."
Hearing this, Yan Chi took the order immediately, and glanced at Qin Wan again.
Yan Huai thought for a while and said, "Qin Wan showed the prince's injury. Qin Wan knows how his injury is. If you have any doubts, you can ask her. The prince has not woken up yet. If the prince wakes up by himself, It is best to tell who the murderer is, but if the crown prince has been in a coma, you must hurry up and give the princess and the fifth prince an explanation as soon as possible."
Yan Chi responded repeatedly. Although Tuoba Wu didn't expect the emperor to bring Qin Wan and Yan Chi together unintentionally, she was still satisfied with Yan Huai's arrangement, and now, of course, she had no hostility towards Qin Wan.
Coming out of the big tent, Tuoba Wu's expression became somewhat complicated. The most important thing right now is when Tuoba Hong will wake up, and secondly, who exactly killed Ta Bahong? She took a look at Yan Chi, the person she had been thinking about for two years, but he was ranked third. Looking at Qin Wan again, Tuoba Wu pulled Yan Chi from the third place.
"Ninth girl, you know my elder brother's injury, do you see anything?"
Qin Wan looked at Tuoba Wu's anxious look, thought for a while, and told the truth about what he had just discovered. When Tuoba Wu heard this, he clenched his fists angrily, "Who is so vicious! Even the big brother's No bones will be left behind!"
"Destroying the corpses and destroying the traces may also be an attempt to cover up some evidence. Unfortunately, I was unable to go to Weishan Mountain, and it has been raining for two consecutive days. I must have seen nothing."
Qin Guan said to himself, but this side was a little strange. Qin Wan's tone seemed to be that she was very good at analyzing cases. Right now, she only thought that it would be helpful to the case, so she didn't think much about it.
Yan Chi said, "Princess, don't worry. I will lead someone to investigate this case. If there is a result, I will inform the princess as soon as possible."
Yan Chi's words were not so cold at the moment, but he was just being courteous, Tuoba Wuxin said, "I want to investigate my brother's case with you, I know my brother, you also need to ask about him Bar?"
Yan Chi frowned, "When we need to ask, we will ask the princess."
Tuoba Wu's heart was blocked, she knew that there was no room for change in what Yan Chi had decided, so she stopped entanglement now, she glanced at Yan Chi, then at Qin Wan, feeling that it would be absolutely awkward to stay beside the two of them, He said, "I'm going to see the prince's brother."
Watching Tuoba Wu leave, Qin Wan sighed, Yan Chi turned his eyes to look around, and said, "Come with me."
Now that Qin Wan had a serious name, he followed Yan Chi.
Yan Chi took Qin Wan straight towards his big tent, and after entering the tent, Yan Chi turned around and held Qin Wan's hand. Her hand was injured, and it's still not healed. She couldn't see the water. But because he got blood on Ta Bahong's treatment, the cotton cloth on his hand was scattered at the moment, and the blood on it was not dry yet.
Yan Chi hurriedly told Bai Feng, "Go fetch water—"
Yan Chi held Qin Wan's hand, and took off the dirty cotton cloth. As soon as the cotton cloth was taken off, he saw that the wound on Qin Wan's palm had just healed, but the wound was a little deep. At this moment, the scarlet gorilla's line will definitely be in the future. Will leave scars.
Seeing this wound, Yan Chi frowned again. This was Tuo Bawu's sin. If he could, he wouldn't even get involved in the Ta Bahong case. Compared to Qin Wan who was deeply influenced by Shen Yi, Yan Chi was very Don't take the law seriously!
In front of Qin Wan, Yan Chi naturally wouldn't say this idea, Qin Wan likes autopsies to deduce cases, and also pays attention to the criminal law, if he said it, Qin Wan would stare at him, and soon, Bai Feng called for water.
Yan Chi wiped off the blood on Qin Wan's hands bit by bit, trying to avoid the wound, then took a cotton cloth and wrapped Qin Wan's hand up. Although he was used to being rough, he was very meticulous when doing these things. , Qin Wan watched, the smile on his lips deepened, and when the wound was bandaged, Yan Chi said, "What do you think of this case?"
Although there is no enthusiasm, the case still needs to be investigated.
When asked this way, Qin Wan's face became serious, "The arrow was directly inserted into Prince Tuoba's heart. If he was riding on horseback at that time, then the person who shot the arrow should also be on horseback. If he When he dismounted from his horse, the archer also got off his horse. In addition, the prince had many bruises on his body, presumably caused by rolling down the mountain stream. There were bruises on his shoulders and back, and bruises on his waist. I'm not sure if it was man-made or the impact."
Qin Wan only looked at the wounds when he checked the prince's injuries, and did not examine them carefully like an autopsy. This time, he can only give a rough idea, and then Qin Wan said, "This is just one, and the other is that the first thing to do The man obviously wanted to put an end to this matter, he even wiped the lure of the beast on Prince Tuoba's clothes—"
"He wants to lure ferocious beasts to eat Prince Tuoba and destroy the corpse?"
Yan Chi frowned, reacting very quickly, Qin Wan nodded, "Exactly, the heavy rain washed away most of the food, but I still found a little bit between his bun and on the prince's clothes. will be wrong."
Hearing this, Yan Chi's eyes became a bit familiar, "There were three or four hundred people who went up Weishan that day, no matter who Prince Tuoba met, he would not be surprised, so the murderer's sudden attack can hit Prince Tuoba's heart .”
Qin Wan said, "But the bow and arrow are the arrows of Prince Tuoba—"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips raised, "That's someone I know."
Having said that, many faces flashed through Yan Chi's mind, and then he ordered, "Bai Feng, lead someone to call all the people who followed Prince Tuoba out of the agenda, and interrogate them one by one."
Even if these people did not commit the crime, they should at least know what the bow and arrow is.
Qin Wan nodded and stood up. When Bai Feng went out, Yan Chi pulled Qin Wan back. She took Qin Wan into her arms and said, "You have worked hard today. If Tuoba Hong comes back to life, you will be of great merit." .”
Qin Wan shook his head, "It wasn't me, it was him. At that time, I felt that I couldn't be saved, but I saw his fingers move, and the more Tuoba Wuyue cried out to him, the more he reacted. We knew that although he was asleep, It has been two days and two nights since I can hear the movement outside, it is extremely difficult, it shows that he is indeed strong-willed and has a strong desire to survive, that's why I want to save him."
As she spoke, Qin Wan leaned against Yan Chi's chest. She was indeed very tired this day.
The two embraced for a moment in the tent, and then Qin Wan left first.
Yan Chi went to interrogate the person himself, Qin Wan went back to the queen mother, changed her clothes before telling the queen mother about Ta Bahong's situation, the queen mother sighed, "Now you have saved the first step. Thinking, if Prince Tuoba really can't be saved, will you be blamed by that Tuoba Wu again, that girl, don't care if you start being ruthless."
Qin Wan laughed, "Don't worry, the princess really cares about the prince, but she really can't be saved. With the will of His Highness the prince, she will definitely not mess around."
The queen mother shook her head and didn't say much. After all, the situation is good now. Then she asked about the reason for Tuo Bahong's accident. I can't figure out who is so vicious."
The queen mother is a kind person, and the murderer must be hidden very deeply, so how could he be recognized casually
The two talked for a while, Qin Wan was worried about Ta Bahong, so he went to Ta Bahong's tent again, and when he got to the tent, he found that there were many more guards, and when he looked again, it seemed that there were two faces beside Yan Chi I have seen that if Ta Bahong wakes up, he can directly identify the murderer, and it is not impossible for the murderer to attack Ta Bahong if he wants to escape the crime.
With Yan Chi's people guarding it, the big tent can be said to be very safe.
Qin Wan followed suit from the bottom of her heart, and then entered the big tent to take care of her.
…
…
In the agenda, Tuoba Rui said with red eyes, "It must be Liu Yun! When we left the camp, Liu Yun stared at the elder brother's arrow and said that he would use the elder brother's arrow. Wanting to take away the arrows of elder brother, he intends to harm elder brother, and in the whole camp, he is the only one who would want to kill elder brother so cruelly."
Yan Chi looked at Tuoba Rui, "Why are you sure?"
Tuoba Rui said, "Sister Huang said that she heard Liu Yun discussing with her counselors that if he has no hope of marrying the princess, he will let the eldest brother have an accident in the hunting ground, isn't this enough proof? "
Yan Chi looked at Tuoba Rui expressionlessly, "It's not enough to prove it, tell me what you did after you separated from everyone that day, how long have you been separated, and where did you go?"
Tuoba Rui took a deep breath, "Senior Yan, I've said it several times."
Yan Chi remained silent, "Say it again."
Tuoba Rui glanced at the cold-faced guard guarding the door, took a deep breath and continued, "At that time, we separated after reaching a consensus, and everyone's direction was different, because the eldest brother wanted to win the battle in the hunt. Even so, we did not redistribute the arrows, because I am not good at learning, so there were not many opportunities to shoot arrows that day. At that time, we each had arrows in our hands, so we never gave each other. The time we separated was about two sticks of incense. It's time, I'm going in a completely different direction from the direction that big brother is going, and then I saw a brown bear first, so I sent a signal, and the other servants know this."
After Yan Chi finished listening, he nodded, and then took a piece of paper and a pen, "Draw, draw the direction in which you two separated that day, if you can't remember clearly, draw a few more changes, and draw a few more pictures."
Tuoba Rui showed helplessness when he heard that, "Why are you still painting?"
He is not good at painting, and he doesn't like painting, but facing Yan Chi's cold face, he had no choice but to cooperate, "We stopped halfway up a mountain at that time. If it was here, then the elder brother walked in this direction. I It’s just walking here, other people, this direction, here… that’s probably how it is.”
Tuoba Rui quickly finished the painting, and held it up for Yan Chi to take a look.
Yan Chi looked at it, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Tuobarui frowned, "I've said everything I want to say, that's all." As soon as the words fell, Tuobarui said again, "Oh, by the way, you should go and arrest Liu Yun for interrogation! Although we We walked in different directions, but throughout the day, we were getting closer and closer to the true north, so we could easily run into each other!"
Yan Chi nodded, "Alright, His Highness Fifth can go out first."
Tuobarui stood up, very dissatisfied with Yan Chi's arrogant attitude, but he knew Yan Chi's name, and was intimidated by Yan Chi's aura, so he didn't dare to act presumptuously, so he had to walk out aggrieved.
Yan Chi thought for a while, "Go and bring the Third Prince of Xiliang."
After Liu Yun entered the agenda, his complexion became extremely ugly. This was the second time he was invited here because of Ta Bahong's matter. Why do you have to think that he was the one who harmed Ta Bahong? !
Looking at the bruises on Liu Yun's face that hadn't completely disappeared, Yan Chi also asked very sharply, but hearing that Liu Yun was also irritable but didn't dare to answer presumptuously, Yan Chi couldn't help feeling that this case was not a small problem.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Chi handed over the interrogation of the guards to other people, and went to Yan Huai's big tent. After he finished speaking with Yan Huai, Yan Huai opened his eyes wide in surprise, "If you want to do it again? Go to Weishan?"
Yan Chi nodded, "Only in this way can we know who can contact Prince Dao Tuoba at that time, and the place where Prince Tuoba fell, we need to investigate again."
Yan Huai nodded, "That's the only way to do it, Yan Huai said, do you have a clue?"
Yan Chi shook his head, Yan Huai was a little disappointed, Yan Chi said, "But it was Prince Tuoba who had the accident, he has a special status, and this camp is also a place where rich and powerful people gather, Prince Tuoba must be murdered. related to interests."
Yan Huai raised her eyebrows, her eyes darkened.
