Chapter 273 Murder Cases Repeatedly(2/2)
After a while, he suddenly issued an order: "Tell Meng Nannan and order him to take people immediately to the city to arrest Zhu Dao and bring him to justice."
Arrest and wish?
Meng Tan felt a little strange, but he still obeyed the order and left in a hurry.
As soon as he stepped forward, he saw a group of cavalry coming from the end of the road at a lightning speed.
This iron cavalry is all wearing black armor and black clothes.
Cao Peng took the lead and arrived at the forest first. Marquis Chen Ju was outside the forest. When he saw Cao Peng coming, he immediately went to greet him.
Looking back furtively, Chen Ju couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The cavalry behind Cao Peng consisted of about thirty riders. One of the generals was eight feet tall, with broad arms and round waist, and was extremely majestic. When he jumped off the horse,
There is a faint ringing of copper bells, if it is there or not.
"Xingba, you take people to guard outside, I'll go in and watch."
The big man stepped in and took the order. Thirty flying beasts dismounted and quickly blocked the entrance to the forest and forced the people who were watching the excitement to retreat ten steps.
All actions are completed in an instant and appear orderly.
Chen Ju secretly sighed: How could such a warrior serve under Cao Beibei?
Cao Peng walked into the forest and frowned when he saw the footprints everywhere.
"Afu, have the family arrangements been made?"
When Chen Qun saw Cao Peng arriving, he asked.
Cao Peng nodded, "If my mother and Yueying hadn't accompanied them, I wouldn't have gone to greet them. I received the notice that I had ordered Xiahou He Haozhao to lead his troops into the city first, so I hurried here. Why, I heard that Chi Boyu
Dead? Have you ever found out the cause of Chi Boyu’s death?”
"He was pierced through the heart with a sword and died on the spot."
Cao Peng stopped asking, walked to the body, squatted down, opened Chi Zhong's eyelids to check, and then turned Chi Zhong's body over... After a while, he uncovered Chi Zhong's bloody clothes and ordered someone to hold a torch.
, took a closer look at the wound on his chest.
"Two-finger rapier."
"ah?"
"The murderer used a thin sword about two fingers wide, with a blade that seemed to have a serrated shape on one end.
Brother, please immediately send someone to find out who in Luoyang City uses such a sharp sword... Also, the murderer and Chi Zhong should know each other and are familiar with each other. The murderer has good swordsmanship and can draw the sword very quickly. Look at the sword hole.
At the entrance, the murderer should be a left-hander."
Chen Qun said: "I have ordered Meng Tan to go and capture Zhu Dao."
"Seizure Zhudao?"
"I think the person most likely to kill Chi Zhong is Zhu Dao."
"Why?"
"Didn't you say that he and Chi Zhong have always had conflicts and have fought swords several times? In addition, he and Chi Zhong know each other, and they had a conflict last night. Zhu Dao is good at swordsmanship, and like Chi Zhong, he is famous in Luoyang
swordsman. So I speculate that the murderer is Zhu Dao."
It sounds very reasonable.
But after Cao Peng thought for a moment, he shook his head and expressed his objection.
"Brother, come here and look into Chizhong's eyes."
"What's wrong?"
"Generally speaking, after a person dies, his or her eyes will leave some messages. Some may be shock, some fear, some hatred, or... But Chizhong's expression is very calm, not even the slightest bit angry. You also said it just now, wish.
I had conflicts with Chi Zhong and had sword fights several times. Let me ask you, if it were you, would you be on guard against someone who had just had a conflict with you and ruined your good deeds?"
Chen Qun thought for a while, "Logically speaking, there must be precautions."
"But look at Chi Zhong, there are no scars on Chi Zhong's body except for the sword that pierced his heart.
In other words, the murderer struck suddenly when they were face to face, and Chi Zhong was completely unprepared, so he was killed by a sword through his heart."
Cao Peng paused for a moment, then continued: "Furthermore, Chi Zhong's expression was very calm, and there was even a look of relief...Who on earth made it possible for him to face death so calmly? And who made it possible for him to face death so calmly?
Didn't he take any precautions at all?
Yesterday, I saw Zhu Dao and Chi Zhong fighting swords.
Zhu Dao's swordsmanship is very fierce, using a three-finger broad sword instead of a two-finger thin sword."
As he said that, Cao Peng stood opposite Chen Qun with a smile on his face.
He suddenly made a move and put his finger on Chen Qun's chest, "Brother, this man's swordsmanship is definitely much better than Chi Boyu's."
His fingers touched Chen Qun's chest, which startled Chen Qun and turned a little pale.
"Afu, can you please stop being so surprised? You scared me to death!"
"You see, we are so familiar. You were also frightened by what I said just now. But Chi Zhong surprisingly didn't show any fear at all. This calm expression itself represents an answer. Therefore, I don't think Zhu Dao is the murderer.
, he doesn’t have the ability.”
"Who could that be?"
Cao Peng rubbed his nose and shook his head.
"This question really stumps me.
In this way, let us sort things out. Judging from the wounds on Chizhong's body, the time of his death should be last night. Such a thin sword hole, but the blood drained... It cannot be done in a short time.
.The wound is a little white, which is the result of being soaked in muddy water after the blood has dried. From last night to today, it rained three times. And after noon, the water has disappeared... So I judge that he was injured yesterday
At night, after leaving Juhua Temple, he was shot through the heart by an arrow and died.
At the end of the banquet last night, he peeped at Yue Guan changing clothes, but Zhu Dao caught him, and then the two sides had a dispute and left early.
He stepped forward and the banquet ended.
I pretended to be drunk at the time, so I didn’t pay attention...but brother, have you ever noticed who left the fastest after the banquet? In other words, who left first?"
"This..." Chen Qun thought for a while, "It seems they left together."
"Okay, let's assume that.
After Chizhong left, he walked home. There was a man who left with everyone and chased him alone. After he caught up with Chizhong, he took Chizhong to the forest to take shelter from the rain. Then he suddenly took action and killed Chizhong...
…Well, that should be it.”
Chen Qun kept silent, with a look of deep thought on his face.
Cao Peng waved to the servants to come and collect the bodies, and then he and Chen Qun walked out of the woods simultaneously.
At this moment, a slave came galloping from the direction of Luoyang. After dismounting in front of the forest, the slave hurriedly walked to Chen Ju and whispered a few words.
Chen Ju frowned and quickly ran to Chen Qun.
After whispering a few words, Chen Qun turned to look at Cao Peng, with an extremely strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Afu, you seem to have guessed wrong."
"oh?"
