Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 490 Red Dot
There was no sound in the hall, and all eyes were on Di Renjie.

After a long time, Di Renjie stood up slowly and said: "There is no wound, and there is no poison, how did they die..."

Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "How many soldiers are there?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zeng Tai suddenly shouted like an electric shock: "There are still upstairs!"

Di Renjie waved his hand violently: "Let's go!"

The door opened with a "bang", and Di Renjie and Zeng Tai rushed in.

Seven or eight sergeants sat and stood in the room blankly.

Di Renjie walked slowly to a standing sergeant and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

The sergeant's body fell in response.

Zeng Tai walked quickly to the other soldiers, testing their breath one by one.

Di Renjie scanned the room: the tables, chairs, and benches were neatly arranged, the doors and windows were not damaged at all, and the floor was clean...

Zeng Tai walked quickly to his side and said in a trembling voice: "Men, all the soldiers are all dead...

what the hell is it?Could it be that after we left, the killers from the Black Clothes Club came to attack and killed them? "

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible. There is no such killer in this world."

Zeng Tai asked, "Why?"

Di Renjie said: "No matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible to kill so many people without leaving any traces.

If you look at the house, the doors and windows are intact, and the tables, chairs and benches are even more neat, which means that there has been no fighting in the house.

Moreover, it rained heavily last night, if a killer really sneaked into the castle to assassinate, there would definitely be footprints on the ground.

But if you look at the floor of the room, it is clean. "

"Not bad."

Di Renjie said: "Besides, the reason why the gangsters from the Black Clothes Club evacuated is because this place has been exposed and can no longer be used for secret contact.

The intention of withdrawing was to abandon this ancient castle. In that case, why would they need to run back to assassinate them again? Wouldn't it be superfluous?
Not only is it useless, but it will expose your whereabouts. "

Zeng Tai asked in puzzlement, "But what's going on? These soldiers didn't have wounds on their bodies, nor were they poisoned. How did they die?"

Di Renjie pondered for a long time before saying: "There is something strange in this ancient castle."

After a while, Di Renjie raised his head and said, "Zeng Tai, immediately order all the soldiers to leave the castle!"

"Yes!"

……

Governor Shi of Liangzhou rushed into the hall in a hurry.

A merchant is waiting in the hall.

Chang Shi asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Shang Cao said: "My lord Li, this morning I received a news report from the land protection in the west of the city. There was a strange disease among the merchants in a caravan from Tianzhu. Eight people died within one day."

Chang Shi was taken aback: "What, eight people died in one day?"

Shang Cao said: "Exactly. Just now Dibaohe Fangzheng and others came to speak to the humble staff, suspecting that this strange disease may be a plague."

"plague?!"

Shang Cao nodded and said, "I thought to myself, now that Liangzhou is facing a serious case, if there is another plague, it will be worse. Therefore, I would like to ask for permission from the Lord to transport the corpses of these Tianzhu merchants out of the city for burial. .”

Chang Shi hesitated and said: "The retreat order was issued by the governor, and now he is not in the mansion, how can I make decisions without authorization."

Shang Cao said: "Think about it, my lord. If these Tianzhu people really got the plague and left their bodies in the city, the consequences would be disastrous. What if, what if..."

Chang Shi waved his hand and said, "Okay. It's a matter of urgency, and you will be solely responsible for handling this matter.

First, only this caravan is allowed to leave the city.

Second, strictly check all goods, and seize them immediately if a large amount of silver and suspicious items are found. "

Shang Cao took the order and hurried away.

Di Renjie searched the room carefully.

Surrounded by gray stone walls, log roofs, and stone floors.

Suddenly, a small red dot in the corner of the wall came into view. The red dot was so small that it couldn't be found without looking carefully.

Di Renjie walked over, knelt down and watched carefully.

The red spots appear to be some kind of bird droppings.

Di Renjie looked up at the window, which was closed tightly.

He pondered quietly.

At this time Zeng Tai came in and replied: "Master, all the troops have all withdrawn from the castle."

Di Renjie nodded, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wrapped the little red dot carefully, and stuffed it into the sleeve.

Silence returned to the hall.

Di Renjie walked down the stairs slowly, his eyes scanning around.

Another little red dot came into view.

He hurried over and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

Zeng Tai who was behind asked: "Men, what is that?"

Di Renjie said, "It's like bird droppings."

"guano?"

Di Renjie nodded, and said in a deep voice, "But why is the bird droppings red?

Furthermore, how could birds fly in such a closed castle?

This little red dot is really strange. "

As he spoke, Di Renjie walked slowly to the center of the hall, turned around and ordered, "Zeng Tai, order the soldiers to come in to collect the corpse and keep it safe. I will examine it carefully after returning to Liangzhou."

Zeng Tai took the order.

Di Renjie let out a long sigh: "Send the order, return to Liangzhou!"

……

The city gate was closed tightly, and the street was deserted. There were a few tables in front of the tea house not far from the city gate. There were two customers on the stalls. They were sitting with their backs to the street, wearing a big bamboo hat.

When they turned around occasionally, it was none other than Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, their eyes scanning around vigilantly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the shop waiter walked over quickly, carrying a teapot and a teacup: "You two, I kept you waiting for a long time."

With that said, brew the tea.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, Wang Mang asked with a smile, "Second brother, has anyone left the city recently?"

Xiaoer replied: "Hey, just look at my business here.

Usually, when the Chen card is played, people who go out of the city gather here.

Eat early, wait for someone, hey, it’s really full of friends.

But look at it now, it's been closed for a few days, and I can't even see a person.

Well, the younger ones should call, but you two are here today. "

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "We really didn't know that the city gate was closed."

Xiaoer said: "Hey, if this city is not open again, our business should also be closed."

Before the words fell, only the sound of wheels rolling against the ground came from a distance.

The shop waiter said: "Hey, guest officer, look, here comes someone who is as ignorant as you."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang turned their heads and looked into the distance. Sure enough, a small caravan slowly drove over. Four men with masks and scarves rode horses, followed by seven or eight carriages.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they raised the bamboo hats on their heads and watched vigilantly.

Seeing the caravan slowly approaching the city gate, the captain of the city defense battalion stepped forward and shouted sharply: "Stop!"

The caravan stopped.

The captain walked to the front of the team and said, "Don't you know about the retreat order of Lord Inspector?"

The leader of the caravan jumped off the horse and said, "Captain, it's hard work. Look, we have the approval from the governor's office."

With that said, he handed over the approval document.

The captain took it over and looked at it again, his face immediately changed: "Plague?"

The businessman apologized and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm afraid it is."

The captain nodded and said, "Open the city gate and let them out!"

The sergeant behind him answered yes loudly.
