Chapter 1646: Evidence Burned Out by Fire
Nan Yan's busy hands suddenly stopped and she looked up at him: "Why?"
Zhu Feng glanced down at her.
Then he said, "This is a good thing your people did."
"ah?"
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and immediately understood that he was talking about Ran Xiaoyu burning the kitchen yesterday, but this matter had been dealt with yesterday, and Ran Xiaoyu was also beaten.
Why are you talking about it today?
Seeing Nan Yan looking at him with some confusion, Zhu Feng pursed his lips and said, "She burned down the kitchen. The workers were repairing it overnight last night, and they found some... strange things behind the stove."
"Strange thing?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise: "What strange thing?"
"Want to know?"
"Um."
"Put on your clothes and come with me to take a look."
"yes!"
Nan Yan was about to put on her clothes immediately. As soon as she turned around, she heard Zhu Feng say "hmm". Looking back, she saw that his clothes were only half on. In her excitement, she forgot about him.
Staring at himself.
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing and said quickly, "I know my crime."
He hurried forward to tie the belt for him, and Zhu Feng snorted.
The two of them put on their clothes, washed up briefly, and went out. It was still early at this time, and the sun had just risen from the east. After experiencing the raging sandstorm yesterday, everyone was a little tired, and many people were still resting.
The entire Duwei Mansion was very quiet.
Zhu Feng took Nan Yan directly to his study. Presumably, he must have asked someone to send the "strange thing" to the study for inspection.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled something burning.
Looking down, I saw a piece of cloth spread on the ground, with a pile of strange things on it. They had been burned black and it was impossible to tell what they were - strange things.
Nan Yan frowned immediately.
"This is--"
Xiao Shunzi stood nearby and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is what the workers found in the kitchen."
Zhu Feng walked over slowly, squatted down, and looked carefully.
Those things probably knew that they would be sent to the emperor for inspection, so someone cleaned them up a little in advance and cleared away the carbon ash on them. However, because they had been burned, they were still pitch black, and some parts had even been burnt into charcoal.
But you can see that it is made of wood.
There are several pieces of different sizes and shapes.
Nan Yan also squatted down to look at it, but couldn't make out what it meant. She just asked softly, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Zhu Feng picked up a piece.
After examining it for a long time, he said, "It's a crossbow."
"crossbow!"
When Nan Yan heard this word, her eyes immediately lit up.
She still remembered that the arrow that hit Ye Zheng's chest was a crossbow arrow. The murderer used it because ordinary soldiers in Shazhouwei did not have crossbows.
However, they searched for a long time but could not find the crossbow.
So this matter has been at a standstill.
And this——
She immediately looked at Zhu Feng and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, was it this crossbow that injured Ye Zheng?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while and said, "Yeah."
“…”
"After the murderer used it, he threw it into the kitchen fire."
At this point, he sneered: "No wonder, Yang Dai and the others searched everywhere but couldn't find this thing."
It turned out that the murderer intended to destroy the evidence.
But no one expected that when Ran Xiaoyu burned down half of the kitchen, she also burned out this evidence.
Nan Yan's voice sank.
"Then the murderer is in the Duwei Mansion?"
