Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 251 Accidental Discovery
The consequences of hijacking an ordinary person may not be serious, but if the hijack is a high-ranking official, the nature will change. In order not to be discovered by the court, the gangster is very likely to do nothing but kill people endlessly. As long as no clues are left, the court will There is nothing to do.

"This... what should I do?" Tao Ruozhu patted his head angrily, with a frustrated expression.

"Brother Tao, you don't have to worry too much. Fortunately, there are still some clues. As long as you find out the identity of the corpse, and follow the clues, it will not be difficult to find Master Shangshu." Kang Xu briefly analyzed the situation for him, and comforted him.

"The bones have rotted, so it's not easy to find out the identity of the bones? My teacher has been missing for a few days, if we delay, I'm afraid that my teacher's life will be in danger!" Tao Ruozhu said worriedly.

"Chang Feng has already gone to investigate according to the clues, and I believe there will be results soon. I have already informed him to come and meet me here immediately after he finds the clues." Kang Xu poured a bowl of tea and pushed it to Tao Ruo bamboo.

At this moment, Chang Feng ran out from the city gate in a hurry, and he saw Kang Xu and Tao Ruozhu sitting in the tea shed at a glance, trotting past.

"My... my lord, we found it!" Chang Feng said out of breath.

"Drink first, sit down and talk slowly." Seeing that he was out of breath, Tao Ruozhu hurriedly handed him the tea.

Chang Feng took the big porcelain bowl, drank it gulply, then wiped the water from his mouth as soon as he got the big bowl, and said: "According to the statement provided by the adults, we asked all the restaurants in the city, and indeed there is a restaurant seen the dead."

"Oh? They didn't admit their mistake?" Kang Xu asked.

"According to the shop clerk, the man is left-handed, and his right arm is always drooping in the sleeve robe, but the shop clerk once accidentally saw his right hand hidden under the sleeve robe, from the palm to the wrist, almost twisted. About this point , the waiter is very sure." Chang Feng said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Did the waiter in the shop say who was following him at that time?" Kang Xu asked while rubbing his nose.

Chang Feng shook his head and said: "No, he was the only one at that time. However, when he paid the bill, he gave the shopkeeper a letter and ten taels of silver, and asked the shopkeeper to send the letter to ' Tianlai Inn'."

"Where is the letter now?" Kang Xu asked hastily.

"The letterhead was sent out by the store the next day." Chang Feng fanned the wind with his sleeves, and said, "My subordinates have gone to the 'Tianlai Inn' to check. nothing."

Kang Xu frowned immediately, and said thoughtfully: "Have you investigated the relevant information of 'Tianlai Inn'?"

"The subordinates of this 'Tianlai Inn' are no strangers, and the shopkeeper is considered acquainted with me. I asked him, and he said that the inn was taken down six days ago, and he was given 20 taels of gold to let him I left the inn with all my buddies," Chang Feng said.

"Oh? Then did he say who the other party is?" Kang Xu asked suspiciously.

"According to the shopkeeper, those people seem to be merchants, there are men and women, there are about 20 people. Those people rarely speak, but the shopkeeper recognizes the person who gave him the gold."

"Who is it?" Kang Xu hurriedly asked, his heart moved.

Chang Feng scratched his head, and uttered a strange name: "Lv Jitong."

"Lu Jitong?" Kang Xu and Tao Ruozhu were surprised at the same time. "The shopkeeper didn't admit the wrong person?"

"He is very sure that person is Lu Jitong." Chang Feng said seriously.

Several people fell silent at the same time, and the matter became more and more complicated, and this matter was actually implicated in Lu Jitong's body. Could it be that Lord Shang Shu's disappearance is also related to him?
After a while, Tao Ruozhu slammed the table and said angrily, "I'll go back and settle the score with Lu Jitong right away, my mentor must be in his hands!"

After saying that, Tao Ruozhu wanted to get up and leave.

Kang Xu grabbed his sleeve and said: "Brother Tao, don't get excited, there are still many doubts in this case. Let's treat the deceased as the same person at the restaurant, and he sent a letter to the heavens Inn', which means that he and Lu Jitong are acquainted. I guess they should be the same group, and they booked the entire inn, which means that they need to stay in Zhengyang City for a long time."

Speaking of this, Kang Xu rubbed the center of his brows and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know the content of the letter, otherwise, we can deduce the relationship between them."

"Ah, I almost forgot!" Chang Feng suddenly yelled, startling the two of them.

Patting his head vigorously, Chang Feng took out a dusty envelope from his arms and said, "My lord, this is the letterhead I picked up at the 'Tianlai Inn', it must have been accidentally sent by those people when they left in a hurry. Fallen."

Kang Xu suddenly became delighted, this is really a bright future, he hurriedly took it, opened the letter and read it.

"What's this word, why does it look... um, so weird?" Chang Feng didn't read the content of the letter, so he hurried over to read it.

But when he saw what was written on the letter, he was at a loss.

"This is Japanese script." Kang Xu looked at the letter paper, frowned, handed it to Tao Ruozhu casually and said, "Brother Tao, you are a Hanlin scholar, do you know what is written on it?"

Tao Ruozhu took it in his hand and looked carefully, then shook his head and said, "This is indeed Japanese script, but I have never touched it, so I can't understand it."

"People from Dongying?" Chang Feng suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "Could it be that they are the murderers who poisoned your lord?"

"Which adult was poisoned?" Tao Ruozhu asked curiously.

Kang Xu was in a bad mood. Tao Ruozhu had never met Li Canghai, so he couldn't recognize that he was pretending to be the county magistrate.Isn't Chang Feng trying to reveal his secrets by saying this?
Kang Xu hurriedly coughed a few times, let himself become sluggish, and said with a wry smile: "I was assassinated a few days ago, and the weapon used by the assassin was from Dongpu. I was lucky enough to save my life, but the accompanying Master Kang Xu is still in a coma, and I don't know if he can make it through."

Tao Ruozhu was very surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Chang Feng knew that he had almost slipped his tongue, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "We have been secretly looking for the identity of the Dongying Assassins these days, but they seem to have disappeared suddenly. I didn't expect them to have been hiding in the 'Tianlai Inn'."

"Whether they are the murderers or not is too early to say, but one thing is certain, there must be a connection between Lu Jitong and them. Right now, only by clarifying the content of this letter can we proceed to make a judgment." Kang Xu pondered.

"There are people in the Imperial Academy who are proficient in Japanese characters. Now that the Holy Majesty is coming to Luoyang, the Imperial Academy will definitely come with him. If your lord trusts me, you might as well leave this matter to me. I will find someone to solve it." Tao Ruozhu thought I want to say.
