Chapter 439 Clues

"Good bow!" As soon as Xie Wang picked up the bow, he couldn't help but praise it. The technical content of the bow weapon is very high. It not only requires a long time to practice by the archer, but also takes a long time to make a bow. The bow body even requires several layers of materials to be glued together to achieve the required strength.

It is precisely because of this that the quality of the bow varies greatly. Experienced people can recognize the quality of the bow at a glance. When Xie Wang picked up this bow, he felt that the bow was heavy and solid, which was definitely an excellent work. You must know that the Ming Dynasty could not help but hold bows and arrows in the people. Such bows cost at least hundreds of taels of silver on the market.

"It's indeed Zhang Haogong. The experienced head-in-chief in the yamen also said that such good bows are usually made by famous craftsmen and take years to make. However, there is no obvious sign on this bow, so it can only be seen that it is a bow made by Zhang Xin, so there is no one to find the one to make it." Li Jie also added next to him.

Xie Wang nodded after hearing this, then picked up the dagger next to him, observed it carefully several times and said again: "Compared with this bow, the dagger looks very ordinary, but this dagger is very worn and obviously a common thing for the owner. Moreover, the dagger is short and easy to carry with you, so I guess this dagger should be the assassin's own thing."

Li Jie also curiously took the dagger when he heard this. He had never noticed this problem before. Now after careful observation, he finally found that this dagger is really worn and worn in many places, as Xie Wang said. It is obviously a common thing, and its workmanship is also very ordinary, and it has nothing to do with the expensive bow.

"There is a gap in the blade and the hilt is relatively worn. It seems that the assassin does not care much about it, but he still carries it with him for a long time. From this, it can be estimated that the assassin should not be rich in life, but someone gave him an excellent bow and arrow, and he was willing to commit suicide. This is a bit intriguing." Li Jie touched his chin and thought again.

"Mr. Concubine, in addition to the murder weapon and corpse, have you found out the other activities of the assassin in Taijin City, such as where he went, who he came into contact with?" Xie Wang asked again at this time. Although the corpse and weapon can provide some clues, it is far less useful than the assassin's usual movement trajectory.

However, when Li Jie heard this question, he smiled bitterly: "I have asked all the yamen to send additional personnel to investigate, but except for finding the inn where the assassin lives, there is almost nothing else. I suspect that the assassin will change his clothes when he goes out, so our people can't find any clues."

"Where is the inn room? Since the assassin has lived there, hasn't he left any clues?" Xie Wang asked again.

"I also checked. The assassin checked the room the day before the assassination, so the inn had cleaned the entire room and allowed other guests to stay in it, so there was no clue left at all. It was probably the assassin had planned it long ago." Li Jie replied helplessly again. The assassin was very cautious. Even if he activated the power of the entire Taijin City, he still couldn't find anything useful.

Xie Wang frowned when he heard this. He and Li Jie used to solve the case together and witnessed Li Jie's talent with their own eyes, but now he can't find any clues, which makes Xie Wang have no clue about the case for a while.

However, Xie Wang was not the one who gave up so easily. He carefully checked the whole body of the body, especially some places that could be used as marks, such as scars, birthmarks, etc.

Speaking of scars, this may be the most valuable clue on the corpse. In addition to the cut throat, the assassin also had two major injuries on his body and more than a dozen minor injuries. Two of them were major injuries like sword injuries, while the minor injuries were like bows and arrows.

"On average people don't leave so many scars, so this person has either been on the battlefield, or is a robber who robs the house, or a stooge who makes a living by escorting!" Xie Wang judged again, but these professions are still too broad and have little effect on solving cases.

"This is the only clue. Xie Shaoqing, how do you feel? Can you solve the case in a short time and find the real murderer behind it?" Zhu Yunxi finally interrupted.

"This..." Xie Wang also showed a embarrassed look when he heard this. To be honest, the case involving the royal family is the most troublesome, and it is not convenient to investigate in many places. Moreover, this case is obviously prepared and has no way of leaving any tricks. This made him not know where to start if he wanted to investigate.

Seeing Xie Wang's embarrassing expression, Zhu Yunxi also showed an annoyed look. This assassination was obviously targeted at him, but the officials of Dali Temple were not sure to solve the case in a short time. Maybe the real murderer behind the scenes is now watching the jokes from him behind the scenes, so this made Zhu Yunxi very angry.

"Yun Yu, don't be angry. This case involves the royal family and is difficult to investigate, so Brother Xie can only do his best!" Li Jie suddenly spoke up at this time, and then looked at Xie Wang and said again, "Brother Xie, if you don't have any ideas, I can provide one."

"Please give me some advice!" Xie Wang was immediately shocked when he heard Li Jie's words and immediately saluted him.

"It's not easy to tell, but I have an idea. It's been more than a month since the assassin came to Taijin. His activities were not found at all. However, in my opinion, the most important thing is actually the activities he had done a few days before the assassination, such as where he went after checking out of the inn and who he met, especially when he was in the assassination, he was able to ambush on the way we were going in advance. It was obvious that someone informed him. As long as the person informed him, everything would be much simpler."

"That's true, but this assassin is so clean that he may not be able to start if he wants to check his last day's itinerary!" Xie Wang nodded first, then said with a embarrassed look.

"Actually, there is not a complete solution. For example, if I am an assassin, I will not care about anything else before assassination. I must eat and drink enough. As far as I know, after eating food, it will be in the stomach for several hours. Maybe we can find some useful clues through the food he eats." Li Jie slowly put forward his own idea.

Xie Wang was also shocked when he heard Li Jie's words. This was indeed a good idea. But if you want to see what the deceased ate in the end, you had to tear him open. Although the other party was an assassin, death was the most important thing. If people knew that he had destroyed the body in order to investigate the case, he might not be able to eat it and leave.
