Baili Feiyue's consciousness began to blur. He was drawing the sword and applying medicine until he was almost confused.
But vigilance remains.
It wasn't until the guards carried me back to the official residence in a carriage that I finally felt relieved. Damn, now I can have a good sleep.
Although she is a doctor, her left arm was injured too seriously this time. She needs to rest and cannot move her left arm at all for a short period of time, otherwise, this arm will be 100% disabled.
She didn't want to ruin the arm that she had saved with great difficulty, so she needed to heal her injury openly!
For now, it looks like the arm can be saved.
She closed her eyes peacefully. Shangguan Xun, who was still in Zuixianju, stood there for almost half a day without moving.
Not only did he not move, many people in the hall had not yet come to their senses.
When the people from the Eastern Depot came in, all they saw was blood on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up and people with dazed eyes.
"Did you see anyone suspicious coming in?"
Someone shook his head mechanically.
The red-clothed guard of the East Factory cast a suspicious look on the bloodstain, his eyes as cold as a knife, "Where did this blood come from?"
Someone stood up and spoke timidly, "My Lord, it is like this..."
…
The capital city did not sleep that night.
The next day.
An atmosphere of terror permeated the streets of Kyoto. Many ordinary people found it difficult to digest the news that Lord Duan, the governor of the East Depot, had been stabbed to death.
Supervisor of the East Factory?
He is a demon-like person.
It has always been the demons that kill people, who can kill the demons?
Will the demons also be killed?
But they had no choice but to believe it. The death of Duan Rong, the supervisor of the East Factory, made Emperor Jing furious. That night he ordered the Ministry of Justice and the East Factory to track down the assassin who had escaped the net with all their might. He must find the murderer at all costs!
Now from time to time you can see people from the East Factory walking by on the streets with stern faces!
In addition to this shocking and unbelievable incident, there is another incident which, although also involves human life, is much more erotic in comparison.
Shangguan Xun, the only son of Shangguan Xiang, was caught by Miss Ling because he fell in love with a maid. Miss Ling appeared to be speaking up for her fifth sister who was about to marry Master Shangguan. In fact, Miss Ling had loved Master Shangguan for many years. She was jealous and forced Master Shangguan's beloved maid to death. Master Shangguan was furious and drew his sword, stabbing Miss Ling through and through, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive...
There is all sorts of tension and speculation out there.
Ministry of Justice.
Minister Wang of the Ministry of Justice and Mu Qing's father, the Right Vice Minister, were sitting together with serious expressions.
Shangshu Wang spoke first, "Master Mu, what do you think about Master Duan's death? Do you think the murderer who killed Master Duan is really the black-clad assassin in Master Duan's room?"
Minister Mu said, "I don't think so."
"Tell me about it." Minister Wang took a sip of tea.
"Lord Duan has a shallow wound on his face, which seems to be caused by an ordinary sharp weapon. And judging from the degree of blood clotting in the wound, that wound should be the first time Lord Duan was stabbed by the murderer."
As if recalling the clues he saw at the scene, Minister Mu paused before speaking again, "The second wound and the fatal wound overlap, both on the neck. Although it seems that the two wounds overlap, in fact, it should be the last fatal wound that took Lord Duan's life. As for the weapons that caused these two wounds, I am ashamed to say that I have no clue at the moment."
"Yes, it is exactly the same as my analysis. I also think so about these three wounds. So here comes the question," Shangshu Wang put down his teacup, "How could a cautious person like Lord Duan be killed by the murderer after the murderer injured his face and neck one after another? This is not in line with common sense."
"Your Excellency is right. This is also what I cannot understand. But there is one thing I am sure of. The real murderer is definitely not the black-clad assassin on the ground. The black-clad assassin on the ground was obviously killed by Lord Duan's signature palm technique. It is impossible for him to injure Lord Duan twice in a row."
Minister Wang nodded. "What was the response from the East Factory last night?"
"The East Factory has searched inside and outside the city. Anyone who was injured last night has been locked up for questioning, especially those with internal injuries or palm injuries. After all, it is impossible to kill Lord Duan without sustaining any injuries. In addition, three assassins have been captured alive and are being interrogated."
Lord Wang stood up and paced a few steps. "I always feel that the key to this case is not to find the person, but to find the weapon. After all, there are many people injured in fights due to various reasons. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to try them one by one. We don't have that much time."
He added, "The cut on Lord Duan's neck is unprecedented. It is not something that any common weapon can create in my knowledge. From the wound, I can only feel that it is extremely sharp. And the weapon that can create such a wound is definitely a divine weapon! For those who are good at martial arts, the weapon is as long as the person is alive. Things that can save lives must be extremely cherished and carried with them, and will never be thrown away casually. As long as we find this weapon, the person will definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, among those injured people, focus on checking what weapons they usually use!"
"I think so, too."
Lord Wang sighed, "His Majesty is furious. This matter is not easy to handle."
As for weapons, there is one person who is much better than them. He might be able to infer the weapon from the wound. The problem is, that person is the Regent Changsun Wuji!
Will he help? Obviously, no!
After Minister Mu left the government office, Mu Qing was looking at him with a sly look on her face. Minister Mu immediately tapped her on the forehead and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Qing touched his forehead, "Dad, Mr. Duan's case, hehe..."
"Don't even think about it! The criminal this time is not that simple, why are you getting involved!"
"Dad~!" Mu Qing felt itchy in his heart. The more complicated it was, the more exciting it was!
Minister Mu narrowed his eyes, "Miss Ling San also had an accident last night, why don't you go see her?"
Mu Qing said arrogantly, "Hey, it's definitely not as exaggerated as what's said outside. Ling Jing is not someone who will suffer a loss. Besides, I don't think she would force someone to death just for the reason of jealousy, and then get stabbed. Isn't this a joke? I don't really believe it anyway..."
She was still blabbering, but a flash of lightning flashed through Mu Shilang's mind. He nervously grabbed Mu Qing's arm and asked, "What did you say?"
Mu Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise, "Dad? Are you suddenly hysterical?"
"No, what did you just say?"
Mu Qing was very puzzled. "I said Ling Jing couldn't be jealous, it's impossible that she was stabbed by someone..."
His daughter was very confident. Minister Mu calmly told her the truth, waiting for his daughter to jump up and down. "She was indeed stabbed. Dozens of eyes saw it with their own eyes."
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, then really jumped up and down, "Damn it! Shangguan Xun really dared to stab my friend, damn it! Dad, I'm leaving!"
Minister Mu looked at Mu Qing's figure that was swept away like the wind, and his brows furrowed slightly.
I always feel like there is something in my mind, but I can't grasp it all at once.
There is only one thought left, the grudge between Miss Ling San and Master Shangguan, was the injury last night a coincidence?
If it's not a coincidence, what is it?
He shook his head, thinking that he was really thinking in the wrong direction. No matter what, it couldn't be related to Mr. Duan's case.
