Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 97



97 Sang po (1)

Cutting the throat would not kill him on the spot. The murderer’s technique was very sharp. He did not cut the trachea, but directly cut the carotid artery on the side.

One could tell at a glance that he was an old hand.

In Xu Qi ‘an’s previous life, severing the carotid artery was a fatal injury that even the gods could not save.

However, this would not cause instant death.

The low-ranking Flag Officer lay on the desk and died. He didn’t struggle, and his blood didn’t splatter everywhere. From this, it could be inferred that the cause of death wasn’t a cut of the throat.

What really caused him to die on the spot was the fatal injury to his brain. He didn’t have the chance to react or struggle. He died on the spot.

The murderer broke his frontal bone and cut his throat with a knife. It was clean and crisp ... Staring at the shallow pit on the deceased’s forehead, an image appeared in everyone’s mind.

Xu Qi ‘an touched the dead man’s body. After careful observation, he said,”After death, stiffness spread throughout the body, livor mortis no longer moved, and the cornea was quite turbid. The time of death was more than seventeen hours. In other words, the murderer killed at night.

“I suggest we investigate from these aspects:First, the recent night travel documents issued by the government;Second, he asked the Royal saber guards if they had met any suspicious people nearby.Third, he asked the night watchman in charge of patrolling the area;Fourth, he asked the deceased’s family members about their recent interpersonal relationships.”

No one spoke for a long time, and Lu Qing and the others looked at him in a daze.

This, this is it?

He gave a direction?

It hadn’t been long, but he had already made clear reasoning and used it as a basis to point out the direction of the investigation.

Although they knew that Xu Qi ‘an was an expert in solving cases, they still felt that it was too fast.

“Let the coroner examine him first,” Lu Qing said after some thought.

In general, when it came to a murder case, the detectives would bring along a coroner to carry out a preliminary examination first, so that they could better combine the clues at the scene to make deductions.

The results given by the coroner were similar to Xu Qi ‘an’s judgment, but not as detailed as the latter.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were still fine, but Lu Qing and a few other government officials had a sudden sense of admiration for Xu Qi ‘an.

“It’s. pity that he’s already. night watchman. If the official can’t get him ...” Lu Qing sighed with regret in his heart.

If she had such an outstanding colleague to help her apprehend criminals and solve cases, it would really be a happy thing in life.

Lu Qing called the people outside to question them and asked them what they had learned.

The conclusion was that the deceased did not have any enmity with anyone recently;There were no guests last night, and the deceased had been in a good state of mind recently.

Lu Qing, who was at a loss, frowned.

the victim was just a low-level Flag Officer. If we rule out the possibility of a vendetta, then what reason would cause the murderer to enter the house late at night and commit the murder? ” Xu Qi ‘an whispered to her.

Lu Qing had a lot of criminal investigation experience. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately called the victim’s wife and asked, “”Did the house suddenly have more silver? Or did Liu Han tell you something?”

The pretty Woman tried hard to recall for a long time and said sadly, “”A few days ago, husband said that he would take us out of the capital and live a carefree life outside.”

Lu Qing and Xu Qi ‘an looked at each other and said,”how many days ago exactly?”

“Around 10,” The woman could not remember clearly.

.....

On the way out of the courtyard, Lu Qing said in a deep voice, “”He accepted a bribe and was killed.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. This was a very reasonable speculation, and he thought so too.

“But, why would a small flag Officer be killed?” song tingfeng frowned.

Xu Qi ‘an thought for a while and seemed to have caught on to something.”If I remember correctly, the Golden guards are in charge of the inner city’s East Gate and the Imperial City’s East Gate.”

Everyone’s expression changed when they heard this.

perhaps we should meet Liu Han’s direct superior, ” Xu Qi ‘an said. we’ll report this to the Yamen first. After we get our tickets, we’ll go to him for questioning.

Liu Han’s superior was a Centurion of the Golden guard. Although they were both Centurions, the Golden Guard’s status was much higher than that of the Imperial saber guard. The latter was a unit security guard, while the former was the leader’s bodyguard.

If Xu Qi ‘an and the others wanted to come for questioning, they had to have a token issued by the Yamen as proof. It was similar to the search warrant from her previous life.

He returned to the night watchman’s Yamen and reported the matter to Li Yuchun. Brother spring took it very seriously and said, “”This matter is very strange, but the Imperial City is heavily guarded. A small banner officer can’t cause any waves. Just ask as usual, and the Golden guards will investigate. In addition, the day of His Majesty’s ancestral worship is coming soon, so we should put our focus on this matter.”

He immediately gave her his ticket.

After waiting for a while at the night watchman’s Yamen, Lu Qing and the other fast hands of the Yamen rushed over. The group went to the East Gate of the Imperial City.

Centurion Zhou was on patrol with his men. He only returned after two hours. When he learned that the night watchman and the government office had come looking for him, he immediately came to receive them.

Centurion Zhou had a thick beard, triangular eyes, and a fierce-looking face. He didn’t look like an easy person to get along with.

“Centurion Zhou, do you have a banner officer named Liu Han under you?” song tingfeng asked.

With an unhappy expression, Centurion Zhou was about to answer when he suddenly saw one of the gongs take out a piece of paper from his bosom and ignite it with Qi.

In the next moment, his pupils were dyed with a layer of clear light.

Qi observation? Centurion Zhou’s expression didn’t change as he restrained the irritation between his brows.”Yes.”

“He’s dead.” Song tingfeng said.

“What?” Centurion Zhou found it hard to hide his surprise.

“Has Liu Han been acting strangely recently?” Lu Qing asked.

“No, I didn’t,”

“Did any suspicious people or things enter or leave the Imperial City while he was on duty at the East Gate?”

“No, I didn’t,” Centurion Zhou shook his head. there are many soldiers guarding the Imperial City. It’s useless to bribe just one person. You have to bribe all of them, but that’s impossible.

“What if I bribe you?” Zhu guangxiao asked.

...

Centurion Zhou’s expression changed, and his suppressed anger rose once more.”What do you mean by that?”

“It’s just a routine question, no need to get angry, Centurion Zhou,” song tingfeng laughed. His Majesty is about to pay respects to his ancestors, and we don’t want anything to go wrong at this critical moment.”

After asking a few more questions, Centurion Zhou answered every question and suppressed his fiery temper because there was a copper Gong with Qi observation technique staring at him.

When the duration of Xu Qi ‘an’s aura observation skill was over, song tingfeng smiled and said, ” thank you for your cooperation. We’ll take our leave first.

On the way back with Lu Qing and the others, Xu Qi ‘an said, “”He’s not lying.” contemporary romance

Liu Han? ” song tingfeng narrowed his eyes, ” perhaps, Liu Han was killed for some unknown reason.

“Let’s put this case on hold for now. The ancestral worship ceremony is more important,” Zhu guangxiao said in a deep voice.

The day after tomorrow was the day the Emperor would pay his respects to his ancestors. Everything had to be pushed back.

After saying goodbye to Lu Qing and the others, Xu Qi ‘an went through the whole process in the side hall, but to no avail, so he left Liu Han’s matter aside.

....

15th of October, 16th day of the year Geng.

...

It was suitable for praying, feasting, and offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Soon, the day of the imperial family’s ancestral worship arrived. Xu Qi ‘an was no stranger to this. Every year at this time, the city gate of the inner city would be closed. As the second uncle of the Imperial saber guard, he was transferred to the inner city today to enforce martial law. The people of the inner city were asked to stay at home and not go out.

There was a similar sacrifice in the beginning of spring. It was a sacrifice to the heavens, praying for good weather this year, for peace and prosperity.

Since yesterday, the Inns in the inner city had been checked one by one, and all the martial artists were driven out of the outer city. The restaurants were closed, and the Inns were not allowed to stay.

As the night watchman, Xu Qi ‘an was assigned to sang Bo to stand guard.

Sang Bo was a small lake next to the Imperial City. Willow trees were planted by the lake, and their leaves had not yet sprouted in this season.

A long winding corridor was built on the surface of the water, which was connected to a white jade platform in the center of the lake. There was a temple on the platform, and four large golden words were written on the plaque:

Forever suppressing the mountains and rivers!

The location of the ancestral worship was here.

Sang Bo was no ordinary Lake. It had a history that people talked about with great relish, and it was related to the founding Emperor of Da Feng.

It was said that sang po was called Xuanwu Lake in ancient times, and the divine beast Xuanwu lived in the lake.

One time, the founding Emperor of Da Feng failed in his uprising. When he fled to sang Bo with the remnants of his troops, he ran out of ammunition and supplies.

Just as he was in despair, the lake water boiled, and the Black Tortoise cut through the waves and came over. On its back was a divine sword that could cut the heavens and destroy Immortals.

The Black Tortoise said that it had been waiting here for hundreds of years for a destined person.

After he finished speaking, he presented the divine sword and left on the waves.

The founding Emperor obtained the divine sword and comprehended Dao in the lake for three years. He broke out of seclusion and regrouped his troops. From then on, he won every battle and overthrew the rotten previous dynasty.

After unifying the Central Plains, Da Feng had established the imperial capital in sang Bo.

Sang Bo was the place of Dao vindication for the founding Emperor of Da Feng. It had an extraordinary symbolic meaning, so the royal family of Da Feng would hold a grand ceremony to worship their ancestors in sang Bo every year.

The temple on the lake worshipped the Dharma laksana of the founding Emperor.

Liu Bang killed the White Snake and revolted. I wonder how exaggerated this legend is ... Xu Qi ‘an looked at the high platform in the middle of the lake and cursed in his heart.

[ PS: other authors copy book reviews and comments. When they get stuck, they open the chapter and copy. After a while, a chapter is out. ]

I could only read the chapter and laugh like a pig.This group of people was too F * cked up.

After that, he would still write whatever he wanted to because he did not dare to copy ... Hey, be more civilized, why do I have such a group of readers like you!

There was nothing he could do but get first place in X. There was no point in discussing it in this chapter.?(?,?)?
