Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 164 Cause of Death
Because the sword penetrated directly through the heart, the technique was sharp and cruel, just like what an assassin with superb swordsmanship would do.But because of this, although the sword penetrated the heart cleanly, there was another doubt.The blade of the sword pierces the heart without any bias, and the length of penetration is exactly the same. What kind of swordsman can kill with such precision?Mei Chengting has never heard of it.

The young man in Qingpao who looked lazy and unhurried in front of him was probably his friend who played against Lin Shanxia, ​​the fourth master of Daliang, with Yin Luo at that time.The news from the spies earlier said that this man was a good swordsman and his martial arts was even better than that of Lin Shanxia. Mei Chengting and Emperor Chongwen were suspicious of this, and sent people to investigate but could not find out the reason.After all, there are only a few masters in this beam. The top spot is taken by Ming Fanlan. The remaining ones before Lin Shanxia are either living in seclusion or dead, and their living years will eventually come to an end. Not much different from Mei Chengting, when they suddenly heard that this Qingpao who was about the same age as Yin Luo was so powerful, the two of them were confused for a few days, only feeling a subtle panic that some things were not under their control.

However, strange things happened one after another in Daliang. Qingpao and Yin Luo did nothing when they were together every day. Mei Chengting gradually lost his desire to find out his true identity.

But just because of his words that sounded extremely certain, the suspicion in Mei Chengting's heart arose again, and she couldn't help but look at him with some suspicion in her eyes.

"Suicide? How to talk about it? You can't live enough, right?"

Chi Linjing glanced at Mei Chengting, and looked at him for a moment. When she saw the suspicion in his eyes, she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, and then looked at Yu Ruyi who asked the question, "Of course it's not that he has had enough life, he has been coerced. If my guess is correct, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou have been taken away by others and are no longer in the house."

After getting Mei Chengting's look, Zheng He ran out of the study with another Antais guard and went straight to the inner courtyard where Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou lived.

Yin Luo's eyes moved down, and she paused when she touched the long sword on Zhou Anyue's heart. She seemed to have something in mind and looked at the table. Sure enough, she saw scratches from hard objects on the edge of the table in front of the chair, "Your You mean, this week the military attaché put his sword on the edge of the table, then slammed forward and stabbed himself to death?"

"Smart." Chi Linjing nodded approvingly, not stingy with his praise at all, "Look at the length of his sword entering his heart, isn't it the same distance between the table and the wooden chair?"

Yu Ruyi glanced disdainfully at Chi Linjing, who was praising Yin Luo, and then frowned at Yin Luo. Could these two people not have such a tacit understanding?Since their previous harmonious atmosphere, Yu Ruyi felt deeply rejected and now it seemed like he was a fool.

Oh no, there were two fools Mei Chengting and Si Ziqi present.

The fool Si Ziqi fell into deep thought and did not speak.

Mei Chengting nodded slowly, looked at the sword hilt again and said, "How did Mr. Ye figure out the cause of Zhou Anyue's death at a glance? Is it possible..."

Before Mei Chengting could finish the second half of his doubtful words, Yin Luo cut off the conversation first, "Among us, he is the best at using a sword. You can easily tell where the force is applied on the blade. If he killed someone, this sword The force entering the heart should all be concentrated on the hilt of the sword, but now it seems that the force entering the heart of the sword is concentrated on the tip, which means that Zhou Attaché must have committed suicide."

Chi Linjing couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw Yin Luo defending him so much.

Zheng He, who had returned from inspecting Mrs. Zhou's courtyard, reported outside the door: "Secretary, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou are indeed no longer here. There are traces of incense being used in the house. My subordinates have collected them and handed them over to the Incense Inspection Office of the Secretary." , there will be results later." After saying that, he glanced at Chi Linjing intentionally or unintentionally. "I think someone knew that he was investigating the Lingzhou coal mine. With his wife and daughter forcing him, he had no choice but to make this move. Want to exchange his life for the safety of his wife and daughter?" Yu Ruyi touched her chin, "This Generally speaking, he should have seen someone before he died, but we were just chatting in the pavilion, and Ambassador Mei and Deputy Ambassador Zheng were comforting the miners. They were not far from the study. If there was any noise in the room, what should we do? Will you not be aware of it?"

"The person the military attache saw this week may not be a human being." Yin Luo subconsciously clenched the note in his hand.

"Ah? What I saw was not a human being? What was that?" Si Ziqi scratched his head, with more and more doubts on his face.Everyone was talking in a confused way, and he couldn't understand what was going on.Why is it that one moment he commits suicide, the next moment he sees someone, and the next moment he sees someone else?
This question was not answered. The people at the incense testing office soon received news that the incense that Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou were intoxicated by was a very common koumu powder in Lingzhou City. Those who were intoxicated by this incense would become dizzy and fall into drowsiness. , if you can wake up automatically after four hours without taking the antidote, to put it bluntly, it is non-toxic and intoxicating.

After receiving this answer, Mei Chengting asked people to park the body of Military Attaché Zhou in the woodshed. To be on the safe side, he ordered Sizhong Wu to conduct an autopsy for fear of missing any details, while Zheng He led people to seal off the body. They went to Zhoucheng and searched with all their strength to find traces of Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou.

Si Ziqi saw that he could not help much, so he called Ahe back, and patrolled Lingzhou City to hunt for Shan Zhenren and Feng Nu. Yuru remembered that the Shangtianjian tribe had received help from Shan Zhenren when they left Shangjing, so he proposed. Going with Si Ziqi, the cunning young man in white thought to himself that if he followed, he could cause trouble for Si Ziqi, which could be regarded as helping Shanzhen in disguise.

Yin Luo and Chi Linjing left the study and strolled towards the inner courtyard.

"I just heard them talking about it, saying that Zhou Attaché was killed by King Yuanjin's spies who stayed in the mansion to watch him find Qilinmu. But I always feel that the death of Zhou Attaché had nothing to do with King Yuanjin. He was even on Wuya Mountain. If all the sentries were withdrawn so completely, why would anyone be left in the military attache's palace? Moreover, when I talked to him, I could tell that King Yuanjin was a very arrogant person. He should not treat Mrs. Zhou and Zhou The young lady threatened Military Attachment Zhou to commit suicide, and Meng Zaishi, the head of the secret guard next to him, acted with extreme cruelty. If King Yuanjin wanted Military Attachment Zhou to die, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou would not have been taken away by the incense."

"Yes." Chi Linjing hugged his chest and agreed.

"Then why did you lie to them just now? This week the military attache was clearly killed by someone, but you openly said that he committed suicide, but what did you find?" Yin Luo raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "You must be doubting Antaisi, right? ?Although I have no favorable impression of Mei Chengting after hearing what King Yuanjin said 13 years ago, he still has a reputation of being very loyal in handling all kinds of government affairs for Emperor Chongwen in Shangjing for so many years. Why is Zhou Anyue also an official of the imperial court? "

Chi Linjing didn't answer in a hurry, and thought for a moment before replying: "Of course I don't doubt Antaisi, because this matter is for your aunt." He opened his right hand, and Yin Luo saw a sculpture with peony patterns carved on it. The golden needle lay quietly in it. She reached out and took it and looked at it carefully. She saw that the peony pattern was stained with a small amount of blood. At this time, she heard him say: "I felt something strange when I first entered the study. First, this week the military attache's hand There was a Xunlin pattern on it, and your aunt later gave him a guarantee. Nothing happened to the Zhou family during King Yuanjin's stay in Lingzhou for so many years, so why did Zhou Anyue die just half a day after your aunt left the stone prison?"
