Chapter 2659: Familiar as if we knew each other in the previous life
Murong Qiuming sneered, "Frontally, stab straight ahead. Then, please take a look at me, sir."
As he spoke, he spread his arms and said coldly, "This young master has been wearing this dress all day today."
“…”
Li Bushang frowned slightly and looked at him in the candlelight in the room. Murong Qiu Ming was wearing a long white robe, although it was no longer as white as snow - after all, as he said, he had been wearing it all day today. He had been riding a horse for so long and stopped to walk on the grassland, so it was bound to be stained with mud.
But there was not a drop of blood.
Everyone immediately understood what he meant.
No one found the murder weapon on the body or in the tent. It was obvious that the murderer took it out and left after killing someone.
So, if he really came here to kill Cheng Ye, and stabbed the other party with a knife from the front, after pulling out the knife, blood would definitely splatter on him. He was wearing white clothes, so it was impossible that there would be no blood splashing on him.
Therefore, he is not the murderer.
Li Bushang looked at him in white clothes, his eyes flickering slightly.
The guards around all said, "We can testify that Master Murong wore this dress all day without changing it."
Xue Huai'en said: "Yes, I can also testify."
Li Bushang was silent for a while, then said, "Then, there is no one to suspect for now."
"snort."
Murong Qiuming straightened his collar and sneered at him.
Li Bushang continued, "But the person is dead, and the truth must be uncovered. Even if we can't find the murderer now, there should be some clues left in this tent, in the camp, and even around the camp. If everyone agrees, how about we stay here for a while and find out the truth?"
When he said this, Tian Ye and the others were stunned.
He wanted to say something, but when he looked at the situation around him, he swallowed his words back.
Murong Qiuming sneered and said, "I'd like to see what clues you, the so-called elite Jinyiwei, can find. I'm afraid of the thief crying 'stop thief'."
Li Bushang was not at all enraged. He simply said calmly, "This tent should be sealed off first. No one should enter easily."
So everyone left the tent.
Li Bushang said to Song Zhiwen and the others, "I think it would be best if both sides dispatched troops to investigate this matter. This would be the fairest and quickest way. What do you think?"
Originally, the people in Bailong City were very dissatisfied with him because he came and questioned everything, and acted like he was in charge. After hearing these words, the anger in their hearts was slightly relieved.
Xue Huai'en turned around and discussed with Song Zhiwen and the others.
Then, Xue Huai'en said: "This is naturally the best."
Li Bushan turned around and said to his guards, "Send over a team of our men, eight groups of fifteen, to conduct a thorough survey in all directions. Don't miss a single blade of grass within a mile."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Huai'en immediately discussed with Song Zhiwen, Murong Qiuming and others. He also mobilized dozens of guards from each family. Together with Li Bushang's men, they held torches, used knives to clear the grass, and began to slowly disperse in all directions.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter.
However, Ma Yuanju and his men, as well as some Jinyiwei, who had been traveling all night, were somewhat sleepy.
Li Bushang showed no sign of fatigue at all.
He just stood outside the tent, looking at the corpse inside through the rolled-up curtain, his eyes heavy and thoughtful.
At this moment, a slender figure walked over.
It was none other than Xie Jiaojiao, whose eyes and nose were red. She had obviously just shed tears, and there was a look of guilt on her face.
She whispered, "If only I had sensed something was wrong earlier."
“…”
"My premonitions are always right. Last night, I felt something bad was going to happen, but I never imagined it would be Uncle Cheng."
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just looked at the wound on Cheng Ye's chest.
The blood has completely dried up.
Xie Jiaojiao talked for a long time, but he didn't respond a word. However, Xie Jiaojiao was not angry. She just turned her head and looked at him. He had been traveling day and night these days. Although he didn't show any signs of fatigue, his bloodshot eyes could not be hidden from others.
Xie Jiaojiao said, "Aren't you tired?"
Li Bushang turned his head and looked at her.
Xie Jiaojiao said, "You're so tired, you should take a rest, right?"
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just looked at her, and then said: "Tian Ye!"
Tian Ye was originally standing a few steps away from him. When he saw Xie Jiaojiao coming, he subconsciously turned his face to the side. However, he did not expect that the commander-in-chief would suddenly call him.
He was stunned for a moment and hurried over.
"What are your orders, sir?"
Li Bushang said, "I'm going to go back and rest. Let our people come and guard this tent."
"yes."
Tian Ye waved his hand hurriedly and summoned two Jinyiwei to guard the place, while Li Bushang had already turned around and walked towards the camp where the Jinyiwei were temporarily stationed.
Xie Jiaojiao stood there looking at him, her eyes flickering slightly.
At this time, Song Zhiwen walked up to her and whispered, "Jiaojiao, that commander—are you familiar with him?"
Xie Jiaojiao kept watching Li Bushang's back disappear in front of her, and then she said, "Looks very familiar."
Song Zhiwen frowned slightly: "You two have only known each other for a few days."
Xie Jiaojiao turned to look at him, her bright almond-shaped eyes wide open, and said seriously, "Some people, even if you only meet them once, feel as familiar as if you had known them in a previous life; while some people, even if you have known them for a lifetime, are still strangers."
“…”
"I treat him the same way as before."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Song Zhiwen frowned slightly, then turned to look at the Jinyiwei camp, his expression becoming complicated.
Li Bushan entered the tent his subordinates had arranged for him and immediately asked, "Where's the paper and pen?"
Tian Ye was stunned for a moment: "What do you need paper and pen for, sir?"
Li Bushang said, "We can't rush back immediately. We need to send a letter back immediately to explain what happened here, so that the people in the Duwei Mansion won't think that something happened to us."
Hearing what he said, Tian Ye hurriedly asked someone to bring in paper and pen.
Li Bushang bent over the desk and wrote a letter.
Watching him writing quickly, in a short while, a long article was written on a piece of paper. Tian Ye, standing aside, couldn't help but frowning and sighing.
Li Bushang asked, "What's wrong?"
Tian Ye said softly: "Sir, I don't understand why we don't leave quickly, but stay to investigate this matter."
“…”
"You know, there are dangers on the road."
Li Bushang kept writing, saying as he wrote, "Leave? Do you think they'll leave after what happened?"
