Chapter 79: Scimitar
Chapter 79 Scimitar
"This person was killed by a slash in his neck." An older guard said with a serious face: "And the weapon used by the opponent was a crescent knife, the knife was accurate, and he was killed with a single stab. Obviously he was not an ordinary person."
The crescent knife?
Xu Mingyi's face changed a little.
Speaking of the scimitar, she naturally thought of a master who is very good at using the scimitar next to her.
But that person, since his right hand was injured in the early years, he could no longer hold a knife—
It should not be him.
Do not.
Or maybe...
Xu Mingyi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "You will carefully identify the wound again, and see if you can tell whether the murderer is using the knife with the right hand or the left hand?"
is also a martial artist, she is very clear that people who know enough about weapons can judge many details based on the shape of the wound alone.
The dark guard responded.
Wu Chao also took two steps forward, enduring the stench, squatting and looking intently.
Ordinary people are all right-handed swords. Xu Mingyi asked, he wanted to use it to distinguish something.
Before the dark guard could make a judgment, the boy had already stood up, looked at Xu Mingyi and said, "It's the left hand--"
Xu Mingyi's expression changed slightly.
is really left-handed!
The dark guard also quickly confirmed Wu Chao's judgment.
Wu Chao did not go to ask Xu Mingyi more, but only ordered his subordinates to investigate the vicinity carefully, and made sure that there were no other clues, and then asked Xu Mingyi: "How does Miss Xu plan to arrange this corpse? Is it an official or she should deal with it by herself? ?"
"Since it is a subordinate of Yong'an Bofu, it is better to hand it over to Bofu."
Whether it is to be handed over or to lie to the government to verify the truth on its own, it is up to Yong'an Bofu to decide.
Regardless of what Bofu chooses to do, the pros and cons are almost half-and-half, so the impact on the next thing will not be too great.
Wu Chao nodded.
Then looked at the four dark guards: "In order to avoid business trips, you will leave one person to guard here until the corpse is taken away tomorrow."
Several guards looked at each other in a complicated mood.
It took a while to decide which hapless person was left behind with his eyes.
"Let's go."
Wu Chao turned and left, and after two steps, he did not see Xu Mingyi following him, so he looked back.
I saw that she took out a very small porcelain bottle from her personal purse, and handed it to the young guard who was left behind, saying: "It can be used to prevent mosquitoes, and it can be applied to the nose to disperse some odors."
In the end, people were left because they helped her.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the forest at night. I’m afraid I’ll be bitten by my parents even after staying so overnight.
Under the moonlight, the little girl looked calm and frank, the young dark guard was quite frightened, and looked at her son at a loss for a while.
"Since it was Miss Xu's kindness, you will accept it."
The dark guard hurried forward and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Miss Xu."
Xu Mingyi nodded slightly, and turned away with Azhu.
Wu Chao took another look at the delicate and small porcelain bottle in the dark guard's hand before taking the person away.
The group of people left the forest. Wu Chao suggested: “It’s still early to leave the city gate. If you find a nearby town for overnight stay, you will return to the city at dawn.”
Xu Mingyi thought for a while and nodded.
In fact, she was able to make a night out in the carriage, but Wu Zhao came on horseback, so she can’t ask people to sleep on horseback for a night, right?
"Five miles away is Pingwan Town, and the slaves know how to go." Azhu said timely.
Pingwan Town can be called bustling and bustling, and it is naturally more convenient to find an inn.
The carriage moved slowly towards Pingwan Town.
Wu Chao sat on horseback and followed the car unhurriedly.
The moonlight was bright and bright, and the cool night breeze blew across the handsome face of the young man, making him feel a lot more relaxed without noticing it.
Wu Zhao glanced at the carriage in front of him, then raised his head to look at the sky full of stars.
He has been in the capital for a long time, and this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful night sky.
It may be that I have not paid close attention to it in the past.
Seeing the carriage in front of him hurry up, the boy patted his horse to catch up.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the town.
The secret guard who was sent by Wu Chao to inquire about the inn was waiting there. At this time, he said: "My son, there are two inns in the town, one large and one small, the larger one is in the east of the town, and the smaller one. It's not far ahead."
Wu Chao nodded, and said to the human in the carriage: "Miss Xu, let's go to the east house."
At such a late night, if a man and a woman stay in the same inn, they will definitely attract attention. For the sake of each other's reputation, they should stay separately.
He did not elaborate, but Xu Mingyi also understood the intention.
She opened the carriage curtain, looked at the boy outside the carriage, and said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for the matter tonight."
Whether it is to help her find the corpse, or to let her live in a better inn.
She didn’t think that as a woman, she should accept these kind intentions with peace of mind. She was born in the government of Zhenguo. Isn’t the other party a child of a family who was held in the palm of the hand by the entire Dingnan Palace? Much better than her.
Looking at the girl's vivid and bright face under the opened car curtain, and under the gaze of the black, bright and clear eyes, Wu Chao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He staggered his gaze and looked forward. He didn't say much, and he just left with an "um".
"By the way, Lord Wu, wait a minute."
Xu Mingyi's voice suddenly sounded again.
Wu Chao frowned slightly and looked at her.
If Miss Xu talks so much, he might start to think again.
The girl put out a slender hand from the carriage, carrying a carved food box in her hand.
"This dim sum was originally brought to Master Wu, but I just forgot about it when I only talked in the teahouse."
She wanted to ask someone to do something, so she couldn't go empty-handed.
"Master Wu should not have time to eat dinner tonight. The kitchen of the inn at this hour has been turned off too much. Let's just use this snack to cope with it."
Azhu was surprised.
It turned out that the girl’s snack was specially given to Young Master Wu, and she was really going to send it to Princess Yufeng. No wonder Akui always said that she reads very little book and only looks at the surface when things happen.
"……"
Looking at the food box, Wu Chao was silent for a moment.
Why does Miss Xu think he can eat any snack after smelling the smell of corpse all night?
But seeing that hand was held up like that, he took it after all.
Never mind, if he doesn't accept it, she might think of other ways to thank you, and then both will bother each other.
"Thank you."
The young man carried the food box and beat his horse to leave.
"Sorry, guest officer, there are no vacancies in the shop tonight."
In the lobby of the inn, the guy who was awakened by the guard patted the door and smiled patiently.
The sentence "But the wood room is still empty, if the guest officer doesn't mind, I can deal with it overnight" habitually to the mouth, but seeing the youth in front of him, he swallowed back quickly.
Wu Zhao glanced at the dark guard.
came to find out where there is an inn, but I don’t know if there are any vacancies by the way?
The dark guard lowered his head aggrievedly.
The thing they are best at is killing, how can they be as sophisticated as the maidservant?
Thanks to Lu Qinghan, from the distant world, boring pork belly, Xiuxian and other book friends for their rewards.
Thank you for your monthly pass
