Chapter 45 The Third Assassin
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yi said, "Brother Gu, you are so smart, unlike Xiaochen, who is so stupid that uncle always asks me to protect her."

Song Guichen: If you praise others, you can praise others, why do you even hurt me?
Gu Yi smiled: "By the way, where is Mr. Meng?"

"Uncle, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. He said he is going to Gushan to find Mr. Lin."

Xiao Yi showed a sad face, every time his uncle was in a bad mood, he would go to Mr. Lin, but he refused to let him follow him every time.

Speaking of Mr. Lin, Song Guichen felt a pain in his heart.

After Du Qingshan and her went to the lonely mountain last time, there was no chance to go out of the Suocui Tower, let alone go to the lonely mountain.

These days, she has not thought about Duan Xiaochen's soul exchange with her, and she doesn't know how to tell Duan Xiaochen that Duan Yi'an is dead.

Just as he was sighing, Du Qingshan came over in a change of dry clothes, still wearing a cyan outer shirt and moon white inner, Song Guichen stood up curiously: "Du Qingshan, do you like cyan very much?"

Du Qingshan sneezed, with a strong nasal cavity: "Otherwise, how do you think I got the name 'Du Qingshan'?"

Song Guichen turned his head aside.

She and him met for the first time on the way to escape, in the heavy snow.

At that time, except for a silver-red cloak that was visible on Du Qingshan's body, the original color of the other clothes could no longer be seen. He said his name was 'Du Qingshan', and Song Guichen didn't go here either. Think above.

It's just that these days, every time I see him, he is all in blue, which is why Song Guichen asked this question.

"I see." Song Guichen nodded slowly, and came to Gu Yi with great interest, "Brother Gu, what color do you like?"

Gu Yi thought for a while: "Me? I don't seem to like anything in particular."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I don't have any favorite color." Song Guichen clapped his hands.

Du Qingshan rolled his eyes, the girls are not reserved at all.

He came to the bamboo pole, looked at the crossbow on the bamboo pole, and praised: "This crossbow is well designed, it must be made by a skilled craftsman."

Gu Yi said excitedly: "I almost forgot, Brother Du, you are an expert in military weapons. In your opinion, who made this bow and crossbow?"

Du Qingshan knelt down, looked at it carefully for a moment, and exclaimed, "I've never seen this kind of bow and crossbow design. The person who designed this mechanism is simply a genius!"

The more he looked at it, the more delighted he was: "If I know who the person who designed this crossbow is, I must invite him back to Kaifeng with me, and recommend him to work in the Military Weapons Supervision. Such a great talent, but he only came to design this kind of assassination mechanism." , What a waste!"

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

Gu Yi and Song Guichen saw that Du Qingshan spared no effort to praise the person who designed the crossbow, so they re-examined the mechanism of the crossbow for a while.

The assassin who murdered Wang Qinruo planned all of this, it can be said that he was exhausted.

He invited tide runners who are proficient in water skills to lay iron stakes under the water, and invited skilled craftsmen to design this crossbow mechanism. After careful calculation and careful arrangements, he finally turned off the engine on the day of Chen Zhi's birthday party and shot a small arrow. , but failed to kill Wang Qinruo in the end, and all the painstaking efforts were wasted in an instant
Just thinking about it, Song Guichen felt sorry for that assassin.

If she had known, she would have stopped meddling in other people's business that day and had rescued Wang Ruoqin.

"Hey!"

Du Qingshan seemed to know what Song Guichen was sighing about, and he felt sorry for him, so he sighed for a moment:

"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. No matter how careful and precise the plan is, unexpected things will happen. After all, people are not as good as God."

Gu Yidao: "The assassin's assassination can be said to be precise, but if Wang Qinruo died in the Shocui Tower that day, the officials would definitely not let it go. At that time, not to mention that all the staff of the Shocui Tower will not be able to escape the responsibility, I am afraid that officials from Hangzhou Prefecture and Liangzhe Road , cannot escape the wrath of the emperor."

This is also true.

Wang Qinruo had just taken office, if he died in Hangzhou like that, the emperor in Kyoto would be furious.

Du Qingshan knew that the emperor compromised with Prime Minister Wang Dan years ago and had no choice but to demote Wang Qinruo to Hangzhou.

"The matter has come to this, although I feel sorry for the assassin, but I am also very interested in this assassin." Du Qingshan looked at Gu Yi, "Brother Gu, you have always been thoughtful, what do you think of this assassin?"

Gu Yi pondered slightly: "To be honest, I have a bold guess right now."

"What guess?"

Gu Yi looked at Xiao Yi who was sitting bored on the railing of the corridor, pulling the willow branches one after another, and said, "The bartender Zhou Qiang."

Song Guichen immediately realized what he meant, and immediately retorted: "Impossible, Brother Zhou has no reason to do this!"

"This?" Du Qingshan looked at Gu Yi, then at Song Guichen, "Why does Brother Gu speculate like this?"

"I just suddenly thought of this possibility.

"Brother Du, think about it, if you want to install such an exquisite and laborious mechanism here, and arrange everything accurately, the assassin must be someone who is familiar with the Shuocui Tower, and this person is familiar with water and good at ingenuity, so he has the opportunity to fight with you." It is possible to install the mechanism into the water.

"Just now Xiaoyi accidentally said that Zhou Qiangshui and Brother Du are on par. He can even make mechanical windmills for Xiaoyi. I really have to doubt Zhou Qiang."

"Not bad!" Du Qingshan nodded.

"But on the day Wang Qinruo was assassinated, Brother Zhou was delivering tea to the third floor with me. I can testify that Brother Zhou was behind me when the bamboo pole hit the eaves." Someone must pull the iron hook away in the water over there, brother Zhou can't be an assassin at all!"

Her voice was clear and crisp, her speech was fast and urgent, and she looked completely unwilling to believe that Zhou Qiang could be an assassin.

Du Qingshan quickly comforted him: "Xiaochen, brother Gu also deduced from the facts and I think what he said is very reasonable."

Song Guichen was speechless for a moment.

Gu Yidao: "This bamboo mechanism cannot be completed by only one person. One person must be on the third floor to pay attention at all times to ensure that the person to be assassinated is in the middle, and at the same time send a signal to the person guarding the lake. Trigger the mechanism and knock the bamboo pole up to the third floor."

After his analysis, the rest of the people seemed to see the scene of a person sending a message from the third floor to the downstairs on the day of the assassination, and the person in the water pulled the iron hook to touch the bamboo pole.

Song Guichen said again: "I understand Brother Gu's meaning. But when the bamboo pole hit the third floor, Brother Zhou was not far behind me, and we all celebrated Chen Zhi's birthday in the east.

"From the lake, you can't see the scene on the third floor at all. Even if Brother Zhou wants to send a message to the people hiding in the water, the people in the lake won't be able to see it."

"That's right." Gu Yi said, "It's true that Zhou Qiang has no chance to pass on news to the people in the lake, but what if there is a third person?"
