Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 31 No.2 Dead

This scroll is based on silk and covered with high-quality rice paper, on which two patterns are drawn.

One is the robe, and the other is the turtle belt.

The patterns on the two blueprints are both complicated and beautiful.

Li Canghai was fascinated by staring at the two patterns. Not to mention anything else, the complex patterns on the two patterns alone were eye-opening.

Such a complicated texture is simply not something that can be woven in the world.If the purple robe was really woven according to this blueprint, he could only feel that Datang's embroidery level had reached an unprecedented height!
Li Canghai took a deep breath, calmed down his frantic jumping mood, and then he looked at the scroll seriously.

The purple robe has intricate patterns and is embroidered with phoenix ponds. Compared with the ordinary prime minister's court clothes, it is simply incomparably gorgeous.

As for the tortoise belt, it is made of ancient Lantian jade. Although it is just a pattern, you can still feel the gentle and elegant ancient flavor of the jade tortoise belt through the pattern.

Li Canghai stared at the jade tortoise belt, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became.

On the square jade tortoise buckle on the jade tortoise belt, there seem to be some strange patterns and notches.

Li Canghai moved closer to the pattern, looked at it for a long time, and finally found that those patterns were some symbols.

Heaven, earth, wind, thunder!

Li Canghai was a little surprised, these are clearly four of the gossip symbols!

Moreover, what surprised him the most was that the shape of the jade turtle belt made him feel unspeakably awkward no matter how he looked at it.

The patterns on the jade turtle belt appeared in front of his eyes like a three-dimensional model, which made him a little upset.

For some reason, Li Canghai suddenly felt anxious, as if there was a demon hiding in his heart, desperately trying to rush out and wreak havoc.

Sensing Li Canghai's strange expression, Liang Xiu frowned slightly, and hastily patted him, saying, "Canghai, what's wrong with you?"

Li Canghai broke away from Liang Xiu's arm suddenly, and laughed like crazy.

Liang Xiu was taken aback by this, he saw Li Canghai's eyes turn blood red, without saying a word, he picked up the tea cup and rushed towards Li Canghai's face.

With a splash, cold water hit his face, and Li Canghai woke up instantly.

"Me, what's wrong with me?" Li Canghai wiped the tea off his face, and said in a daze.

Liang Xiu frowned and said, "You were hysterical just now, what happened?"

Li Canghai thought back blankly, he looked down at the scroll in his hand, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Damn, this picture is weird!" Li Canghai shuddered, he hurriedly put away the scroll, and after his disgusted mood improved, he said, "My lord, can you lend me this picture for a while?"

Liang Xiu nodded and said, "Just take it."

Li Canghai breathed a sigh of relief, he put away the scroll and put it in his sleeve.

"It seems that the purple robe and the turtle belt are not as simple as they appear on the surface. These patterns seem to be cumbersome, but they actually hide a mystery. What secrets are hidden inside?"

Li Canghai frowned, and decided to study the drawings carefully after returning home.

Intuition told him that the pattern on the blueprint had a lot to do with the Jade Turtle Belt stolen by the Shumen Gate.

If he can find out the secret of the pattern, he will be able to guess the purpose of the gopher door, and he will be able to make corresponding countermeasures.

Li Canghai tidied up and talked to Liang Xiu about the Gopher Gate before he got up to leave.

Just after taking a few steps, before he walked out of the gate, he was bumped into his chest by a panicked servant.

The yamen servant looked nervous, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, it's not good, there has been a murder case!"

"What?" Liang Xiu, who was sitting on the chair, jumped up with a jerk.

Li Canghai also withdrew his raised foot and said in astonishment, "Another murder? Where is it this time?"

"Back... back to your lord, this time it's... the post house."

Li Canghai and Liang Xiu glanced at each other, seeing shock and astonishment in each other's eyes, they almost stepped out of the threshold at the same time.

Luoyang Posthouse, upon hearing that there was a murder case, has surrounded many pedestrians.

A group of yamen servants guarded the door solemnly. Seeing Liang Xiu approaching, the sweaty Yicheng hurriedly came to salute: "My lord, you can count yourself here."

"What happened to the murder case in the posthouse?" Liang Xiu frowned and asked.

Yi Cheng was dripping with cold sweat, he said in a low voice: "My lord... the lower officials don't know what happened, the posture of the deceased... is quite strange."

"Strange?" Liang Xiu's face was a little gloomy.

"Your Excellency will understand what the officer said after seeing it." Yi Cheng wiped off his sweat, his face turned pale, as if he had seen something extremely frightening.

Yi Cheng didn't know how to describe it, so he simply led them into the post house and let them see it by themselves.

The post house is a secondary courtyard, and the murder happened in the corridor of the primary courtyard.

At this time, several yamen servants had already surrounded the corpse, completely protecting the scene. Seeing Liang Xiu approaching, they all bowed and gave way.

Liang Xiu was puzzled at first, what kind of death method can be described as "weird", but when he saw the corpse, he felt that a bucket of ice water was poured directly from the sky to his heels.

The corpse was kneeling in the corridor, its body twisted in an unbelievable degree, as if its body had been screwed around.

The most chilling thing was that his hands were placed on his chest in the shape of claws, his face was frozen with a painful expression, and his mouth seemed to be calling for help from the sky.

Although Li Canghai felt horrified, he could see the problem at a glance.

The posture of this corpse is exactly the same as that of the servants of the Di family, very much like the strange stone sculptures he saw in the Senluo Palace!

Ever since he saw the dead body of the servant and was reminded by Di Qing that it was similar to the stone sculptures he saw in Senluo Hall, he went through all the statues he had seen at that time in his mind.

Therefore, the moment he saw the corpse, he immediately thought of those strange stone carvings.

Those stone carvings were full of weirdness, what Li Canghai couldn't figure out was why the postures of the two deceased were similar to those of the stone carvings.

"Yi Cheng, did you notify me?" Liang Xiu swallowed with an ugly face, turned around and asked.

Yicheng bowed and said, "Return to your lord, someone has been sent to inform you."

While talking, a young man came over with a wooden box, and Li Canghai recognized him as the apprentice of the old master.

"My lord, the master's injury is still unhealed, so this time the villain will come to do the autopsy." The young man bowed to Liang Xiu.

Liang Xiu said suddenly this time, and said, "I've been busy with official duties recently, but I forgot about the injury of old Liu. But, can you really do it alone?"

Liang Xiu touched his chin. After all, autopsy is a matter that cannot be sloppy. Every detail of the deceased may be related to the truth of the case.

The young man was silent for a moment, and said: "Master's ability, the villain has learned seven or eight points, please give the villain a chance, the villain will definitely live up to the trust of the adult."

Liang Xiu took a look at Li Canghai, wanting to ask his opinion, when it came to solving the case, Liang Xiu thought he couldn't compare with him.
