Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 412
Suddenly, Wang Mang looked towards the bow of the ship.

Among the mottled blood on the bow deck, a pair of bloody footprints jumped into view.

Wang Mang's eyes lit up, he walked over a few steps, squatted down quickly, and watched carefully.

The footprints were facing the stern of the ship, mixed with blood, it was hard to find without looking carefully.

At this time, Di Renjie came over: "Jing Yang, did you find anything?"

Wang Mang pointed to the bloody footprints on the ground and said, "My lord, look!"

Di Renjie looked down.

Li Yuanfang who was behind said softly: "This should be the murderer's footprints."

Wang Mang nodded, and looked forward along the direction of the footprints.

After a long time, he slowly stood up and walked into the cabin.

The ceiling of the cabin has been shattered, and beside the overturned table in the cabin, there is another bloody footprint.

Wang Mang was taken aback for a moment, and watched quietly.

The footprints stretched from the cabin to the stern, and Wang Mang followed the footprints to the stern.

The bloodstains on the deck at the stern stopped there.

Wang Mang straightened up, pondered quietly, and said after a while, "My lord, you are right, the murderer is indeed not one person, there should be two people."

Li Yuanfang was taken aback: "Oh?"

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang is right, Yuan Fang, haven't you noticed that the footprints on the bow deck are different from the footprints here in terms of shape and size?"

Li Yuanfang was taken aback, and quickly looked at it carefully: "Yes, these footprints are bigger."

Di Renjie nodded: "This should be left by the black cloak. He first killed Zhang Xiangong at the stern, then broke into the cabin, smashed the ceiling, and killed Wu Shun at the bow who was about to escape."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, it should be like this!"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Jingyang, Yuanfang, completely exhume the two footprints at the bow and stern of the ship, which will play a vital role in identifying the murderer."

Li Yuanfang nodded and walked quickly to the bow.

Di Renjie stood at the stern and quietly observed the fishing boat, searching for any clues.

Suddenly his eyes rested on the deck next to the side of the boat.

He walked over and watched carefully.

There was a slight bulge on the top of the deck, Di Renjie squatted down, and pressed heavily on the bulge with his hand.

"boom"!
The deck turned up.

Di Renjie let out an exclamation, and Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang at the bow walked over quickly: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Di Renjie rubbed his nails: "Look!"

Wang Mang said in surprise, "It's a living cabin! I'll go down and have a look."

As he said that, he jumped in and squatted halfway to look into the living cabin.

Li Yuanfang and Di Renjie looked at each other, they stretched their heads and looked into the cabin.

Di Renjie asked, "What's inside?"

As soon as Wang Mang came down, he found a fish basket on the ground. He heard Di Renjie's words and handed the fish basket up.

Di Renjie reached out to take it, looked at it carefully, and put it on the deck.

Suddenly, Wang Mang looked at a thread of cloth under a box in the bilge, and let out a soft "Huh".

Hearing Wang Mang's voice, Di Renjie hurriedly asked, "Jing Yang, what did you find?"

Wang Mang at the bottom of the bilge pulled out the silk, and there were more and more of it. It turned out that it was not a piece of cloth, but a piece of clothing.

Wang Mang said, "My lord, here is a piece of clothing."

As he said that, he didn't look carefully, and threw the clothes up.

Di Renjie picked it up and shook it off. It was a silk round-neck gown with exquisite workmanship and materials.

Di Renjie looked at the robe in his hand and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Wang Mang in the bilge glanced around, and there was nothing in the bilge except the fish basket and the clothes.

There was nothing in the wooden box above the clothes.

Wang Mang pondered for a while, and Wang Mang jumped up from the living room. He saw the round-neck robe in Di Renjie's hand and couldn't help sighing: "What a fancy robe!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Is this the assassin's possession?"

At this time, Li Yuanfang who was standing aside asked, "But, why did he throw this robe on the boat?"

Di Renjie pondered: "Maybe I forgot to take it away in a hurry."

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie suspiciously, but hesitated to speak.

Wang Mang glanced at Li Yuanfang, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

At this time, a warm voice came from the pier: "Sir, did you find anything?"

Di Renjie raised his head: "Oh, Wen Kai, Yongzhong, let the servants clean up the scene!"

"Yes!"

Wen Kai and Lin Yongzhong answered "Yes."

Lin Yongzhong shouted to the officials on the bank: "You guys come here..."

Soon, with a few shouts, the servants began to clean up the scene.

At this time, Wang Mang scanned the boat, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they followed Di Renjie to the outside of the boat.

Wen Kai, who was standing aside, hurried up to greet him, and helped Di Renjie get off the boat.

Wang Mang held a round neck robe in his hand, Lin Yongzhong looked at Wang Mang suspiciously: "Jing Yang, this is?"

Wang Mang smiled: "I found it in the boat."

With that said, he handed the clothes in his hand to Lin Yongzhong.

Lin Yongzhong quickly took it.

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie who was already on the shore, and hurriedly followed.

"My lord, who do you think the other murderer will be?"

Before Wang Mang walked to Di Renjie's side, Li Yuanfang's voice came over.

Di Renjie said: "This person must be the accomplice of the black cloak. This person pretended to be a boatman and lured Zhang and Wu onto the boat. The black cloak had already hidden here. When the boat reached the middle of the river, the black cloak suddenly appeared and took the two of them to the boat. Both killed."

Wang Mang came over: "That's right, it should be like this.

From my point of view, Zhang Xiangong and Wu Shun must have rushed back to Jiangzhou overnight, and they arrived at the port in the middle of the night.

But the black cape and the other person had detected the movements of the two in advance, disguised themselves in ambush, and waited for the rabbit. "

Di Renjie nodded: "Very accurate. Then, there is a question, why are Zhang Xiangong and Wu Shun so urgent that they hired a boat to rush back to Jiangzhou late at night?"

Li Yuanfang was deep in thought.

Wang Mang frowned and did not speak.

Di Renjie continued: "Also, we found five chairs in the Yuelai Inn. According to the results of the secret file investigation, there should be Jiang Governor Shi Feng Wanchun with them, but why only Zhang and Wu were found?" body, but no trace of Feng Wanchun?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Will Feng Wanchun stay in Wuping?"

Di Renjie pondered, and said: "This is strange, Feng Wanchun, Zhang Xiangong, Wu Shun, and Ge Bin came to Wuping to meet Xue Qinglin together, logically speaking, they should go and return together.

Especially after Ge Bin was killed, the three felt that there was danger, and they should not act separately.

Now, Ge Bin, Zhang Xiangong, and Wu Shun were killed, but Feng Wanchun's whereabouts are missing alone, isn't it strange? "

Li Yuanfang nodded: "It makes sense."
