Chapter Eighty-Three
After listening to Liu Jin's analysis, Wang Kang was a little shocked. The sudden assassin was suspected to have come out of the army, which was a bit intriguing.
"Is it possible that it was stolen?" Wang Kang asked again.
"Yes, but the probability is very small!" Liu Jin said: "It is not easy to make such a three-machine crossbow. Only special crossbows can be assembled in the army. Each one is registered and rarely lost."
"Go and see that person. Even if it is from the army, it will naturally have the characteristics of a soldier." Wang Kang said.
It was also a bit regretful. If he was still alive, he could directly interpret his identity and find out.
However, in that kind of emergency, he may be the one who is in danger if he doesn't kill directly.
Wang Kang thought, and came to this person and prepared it as a corpse.
Whether in the past or present, it was Wang Kang who saw a dead body for the first time.
It is false to say that he is not afraid, but he knows that he must face it, and this incident also sounded the alarm for him.
Struggle is always bloody, especially in such an era, where he must adapt as soon as possible.
Wang Kang resisted the discomfort and squatted in front of the corpse.
Torchs were held high all around, making the place bright. Even under the response of the fire, the assassin's face was still pale and without any blood.
He was not old, and his eyes were still wide open at this moment. From this, he could see the shock he was filled with. I am afraid that before he died, he would never have thought that he would be killed by a jade hairpin.
The jade hairpin was still stuck on his forehead, with blood oozing out around it, but not much.
The flesh at the wound was turning outward, and Wang Kang instinctively felt his stomach churning, as if something was about to vomit.
Wang Kang gritted his teeth and endured it. He knew that this was a step that he had to go through.
Li Qingman looked at Wang Kang in shock. Looking at his expression, it was naturally obvious that it was the first time Wang Kang had seen a corpse.
Yes, how could a rich young master like him come into contact with these...
But she found that Wang Kangzhi was very calm and clear-headed until he was assassinated. In order to find out the identity of the assassin, he even came to check the body in person.
This made Li Qingman feel a little impressed.
A prodigal son who is circulating wildly outside? It's so ridiculous!
Suddenly, Li Qingman found that Liu Jin was staring at her in a daze, to be precise, looking at her hair. The hair that was originally tied with hairpins had now spread out and her long hair was dispersed.
He discovered it!
Li Qingman knew that Liu Jin must have known that the hairpin that stabbed the assassin to death was hers, which is easy to reason about.
"Miss Li..." Liu Jin spoke.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" Wang Kang said without raising his head.
"Yes!" Liu Jin nodded. He had a great view of Li Qingman. In his opinion, if the young master had not been addicted to beauty, he would not have stopped him and would not have allowed him to follow him.
Now it seems that this courtesan who is popular in Yangzhou is not an ordinary person. He personally checked the bodies of the two assassins, so he naturally knew why they died...
Wang Kang naturally didn't know Liu Jin's mind, he had already picked up the assassin's hand.
It was cold, cold, without a trace of temperature! It even made Wang Kang shudder.
But Wang Kang seemed to be careless. He looked at it carefully and suddenly his eyes lit up. He found that there was a thick layer of calluses on the fingertips of the assassin's right index finger and middle finger.
He fumbled with his fingers, and the touch was very obvious.
Wang Kang closed his eyes, imagining the method of using a three-in-one crossbow.
Soon, he opened his eyes and from this point he could confirm the identity of this person.
He stood up and said, "I am not sure whether this assassin was from an army now, but one thing is certain that he must often use this kind of machine to tap crossbow arrows!"
"Why do you say that?" Liu Jin asked in confusion.
"Look at his index finger and middle finger, and his fingertips all have calluses on the skin. This cannot be formed overnight. Only by frequently pulling the buttons will it be generated!" Wang Kang said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin hurriedly squatted down for a check-up, and then looked at Wang Kang in surprise. He had also had an examination of the body before, but this was an omission.
And his young master actually discovered this subtle point.
Is this still the prodigal young master? Liu Jin couldn't help but think.
Wang Kang naturally didn't know Liu Jin's idea, and said again: "According to your words, it is basically confirmed that this assassin is from the army now!"
"The only regular army in Yangzhou City is stationed in the city defense, led by General Zhao Boguang and Zhao," Liu Jin said in confusion: "General Zhao has a good relationship with the Count. He shouldn't be sent to assassinate you. There is no reason!"
"Your thoughts are misunderstandings," Wang Kang glanced at the corpse on the ground and said coldly: "Of course, General Zhao is the only one who controls the army, but someone who can order a few soldiers can do it!"
"You mean?" Liu Jin's face was full of shock.
"Governor Dong Yiwu!" Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that the Governor is the highest official in a state. He can control the people's livelihood and control the army!"
"This shouldn't be true. As far as I know, Dong Yiwu and the Earl are in Xinfeng County. Besides, what are the benefits of assassination of you to him? Although he is in the same situation as our Earl's Mansion, it is not going to be this point. This is already a breaking rule!"
"It's not worth it. He should understand what the consequences will be for assassinating you..." Liu Jin said again.
"He doesn't know, but the people under him may not be sure!" Wang Kang sneered, and a face appeared in his mind.
"I already have some clues in my heart, but I still need to confirm it," Wang Kang ordered: "Let the private soldiers in the mansion come as soon as possible and make the scene bigger for me, the bigger the better!"
"In this way, some people should be anxious!"
"Yes!" Liu Jin responded.
"Then where are you going? I guess you are frightened when you are assassinated. Why not send you back home first and make plans until dawn, and leave the rest to us."
Liu Jin asked again.
"I'm going to meet someone, and I'll understand everything when I see him!" Wang Kang said lightly.
"Then you have to bring me with you this time," Liu Jin said in a hurry.
"If you can't do it, you still have to arrange things here. Only you know the best. Just send a team of people to me." Wang Kang said.
"But?"
"Don't worry if I'm following him!" Li Qingman suddenly spoke.
"Then... OK!" Liu Jin was not persisting.
"But this jade hairpin cannot be worn!" Li Qingman looked at it with regret, and the jade hairpin was still inserted on the assassin's forehead.
She liked this jade hairpin because Wang Kang gave her or put it on her personally.
"I'll give you one better one."
Wang Kang knew Li Qingman’s thoughts and said with a smile.
"That's what you said!"
"Well, it must be better than this!" Wang Kang Zhen nodded heavily.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jin was a little amused. Is it really good to have sex on this occasion?
"Boom!"
A thunder suddenly sounded in the distance, and the sky became even more gloomy, and even the moon was covered by dark clouds...
Looking at the dark night, Wang Kang sighed softly. It was such a long night!
