The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 175 Strange Corpse

Han Yi took a step forward, stared at the dagger for a moment, then suddenly squatted down, "Can you pull it out?"

Xiao Yu raised his hand: "No, don't move yet."

She turned to look at the crowd: "Has someone reported the crime? Who is it?"

Among the crowd of onlookers was an old lady leaning on crutches and said: "Report the police, Xiao Li, who sold buns just now, was passing by here, just in time to see the man who had drunk too much running out, and heard that there was a dead person here, Xiao Li immediately turned around and went Dali Temple is here, it is relatively close to Dali Temple.”

Xiao Yu nodded: "Then it's almost here, spread out and don't block their way."

"Hey hey hey-"

The common people should go to both sides as you push each other, but no one wants to be too far away. Although such a murder case happened, they were afraid, but they still wanted to watch the excitement.

Xiao Yu didn't care too much, Hua Ye and Lin He walked through the crowd, causing a burst of exclamation, such a beauty suddenly appeared, it felt like the dark alley was lit up, and everyone's eyes immediately turned from the dead man's side On Hua Ye.

Lin He stood by Hua Ye's side, looking fiercely at the people around him. If anyone dared to get close, he would draw his sword slightly. Everyone knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they dared not reach out in embarrassment.

The two arrived behind Xiao Yu smoothly, Han Yi squinted his eyes, turned around and glanced at them both, Lin He stepped forward to block Hua Ye, the two of them just confronted each other silently, that was the instinct between the hidden guards Mutually exclusive and guarded.

The eyes of the two were exactly the same cold, Han Yi was wearing a mask, only revealing a pair of cold star-like eyes, but it was enough to make Lin He fearful. He had only seen this person a few times before, and it was the first time they looked at each other like this. This person's martial arts might be even better than his own!

After realizing this, he quietly clenched the saber at his waist.

There were whispering crowds outside the alley, but the alley was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant.

Four people and one dead body, no one said a word, but it seemed that they had said everything.

"Ah--"

Hua Ye chuckled, and broke the invisible shackles first. He gently pushed Lin He away, took two steps forward with his cold gaze, squatted down beside Xiao Yu, and turned his face to look at Xiao Yu : "Why did the prince say that this dagger is not something for ordinary people?"

Xiao Yu seemed to have recovered from his contemplation, blinked his eyes, and pointed at the dagger: "Look, the blade of this dagger is bright and thin, it is not crudely made at first glance, and the handle is engraved with patterns, look here -"

Xiao Yu pointed to the handle on the inside of the dagger: "There is also a ruby ​​inlaid here, although it is not big, but inlaying gems on daggers has always been an elegant thing for nobles. Ordinary people use gems to make jewelry. Either sell it, who would spend extravagantly working on a dagger?"

Hua Ye took a look with his head: "Hiss, this gem is so clear, it's not ordinary, and its value alone has surpassed that of a dagger..." He pondered for a moment, and asked softly: "Could the murderer be a rich man or a son of a wealthy family?" ? But if so, why kill a beggar?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "This is what I want to know too."

"The Minister of Dali Temple has arrived—the governor of Jingzhao Mansion has arrived—"

There was a sound of hasty and orderly footsteps, Xiao Yu turned around and saw He Li and Lu Shengming, the Minister of Dali Temple, coming together, and the two government officials dispersed the people as soon as they arrived: "Let's go, let's go—don't block here. "

Xiao Yu stood up, and wanted to remind the two of them that the smell here was not good, and it was better to come in with your nose covered, but he was still a step too late. As soon as Lu Shengming saw her, his eyes lit up, and he trotted in with his official robe: "The next official has met the prince, what happened to the prince?"

Xiao Yu: "..." He said it as if something happened to him wherever he went.

But thinking about it, it seems to be...

Every time I go out by myself, I either save people or get blocked, which is really not easy.

Lu Shengming didn't know why Xiao Yu stood there with an inscrutable expression on his face. As soon as he ran in, he took a breath and immediately coughed, "cough cough cough... "

Seeing him coughing and retching, He Li suddenly stopped. He stood outside the alley, looking at Lu Shengming inexplicably, "Lord Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Shengming turned his head and waved his hands at him with distorted facial features. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he couldn't help vomiting. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, pinched his nose and swallowed fiercely, and it took a while to suppress the feeling of nausea.

Seeing Lu Shengming's flushed face, Xiao Yu kindly persuaded him: "Master Lu, Mr. He, be careful when you come in, it stinks inside."

Holding his nose, He Li came in cautiously, and waved to the staff behind him: "Come on, come in, hurry up and have a look!"

"Yes!"

The gangsters came in with their own small suitcases on their backs. Why didn't they smell anything in this line of work?When he went in, he didn't have such a strong reaction, at most he frowned.

Several people came in one after another, Xiao Yu said to Han Yi and Hua Ye: "Let's stand over there and let you do the autopsy."

Wu Zuo nodded at Xiao Yu, laid the beggar's body flat and began to examine it.

Lu Shengming came over and asked Xiao Yu, "Does your lord have any clues?"

Holly also pricked up his ears to listen.

Xiao Yu didn't hide anything, and said whatever he thought: "I took a quick look just now, and the identity of this beggar is temporarily unknown. It is very likely that he was beaten before he died. It looks like it’s a new addition, it should be left over from the fight, the dagger is the murder weapon, and the fatal wound is the knife in the abdomen.”

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, and conceived the scene in his mind, "I feel that the deceased should have an argument with someone here. During the two people's scuffle, the other party took out a dagger to stab the deceased, and the deceased reached out to hold the dagger. This is an instinctive reaction when encountering danger, receiving a sword with an empty hand, so his hand was severely cut, but the other party was intent on killing and had great strength, so he didn't stop it, or it may be because he was weak and didn't have much strength."

After hearing this, He Li couldn't help frowning and asked a question: "My lord, is it possible that this person wanted to snatch his dagger, and then he started fighting and was stabbed to death by him?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "What you said is not impossible, after all, judging from the status, a rich man doesn't need to kill a beggar by himself, and a ragged beggar is likely to attack a rich man, if he is too poor to eat immediately When starving to death, people can't care about anything."

Lu Shengming listened quietly and touched his chin.

"But one thing, if it's a beggar grabbing the dagger—" Xiao Yu waved at the cold clothes beside him, "Come here."

Xiao Yu took out the dagger from the side of his boots, Lu Shengming and He Li were both startled, they saw Xiao Yu holding the dagger and said: "Now I will be that rich man, Han Yi and you will be a beggar, come and grab my hand dagger."
