Chapter 799
The midsummer morning was already very hot, and everyone turned their attention to Ye Xing, hoping that he could come up with some solution.
It's just that Ye Xing hasn't found any solution at this time. All he can do is what he can do now and some suggestions.
"The construction of the capital cannot be stopped. Now that we know the cause of the haunting, Master Dugu can go to the construction site later and tell Chen Gui about the matter, and tell the details to the migrant workers so that they can
We know that there is not really a ghost, it's just that someone placed a sounding copper pipe in the hill. If those migrant workers know that it is haunted by someone, they will naturally not be afraid, and the project can continue."
Dugucai nodded: "Don't worry, King Ming, I will send someone to tell you about it later."
Ye Xing hummed, and then said: "The making of copper pipes is very delicate and cannot be made by ordinary craftsmen, so we must send people to visit all the craftsmen who make things in Beiping City to see if they have helped anyone to make them.
Something like this.”[
After listening to Ye Xing's words, Dugu asked with some confusion: "Does King Ming think that the person who wants to be haunted will find the craftsmen of Beiping City to build such a thing?"
Ye Xing nodded and said: "Yes, there is really no need for a murderer to make his own weapons, and this principle is also applicable to this matter. If that person is haunted on the construction site, he himself is completely
There is no need to build such an exquisite instrument by yourself unless he is a very good craftsman himself."
Seeing what Ye Xing said, Dugucai could only nod his head and said: "In that case, I have no choice but to send someone to investigate."
At this time, Tie Rong also suggested: "The emperor's move of the capital to Beiping will be extremely beneficial to the merchants in Beiping, so the possibility of them being troublemakers is very low, and the people who are most opposed to moving the capital are the ministers of the DPRK and Peiping."
Minister, so if we start from this aspect, we may be able to achieve good results."
Everyone felt that Tie Rong's suggestion was right, but it was not an easy task to investigate the imperial officials, so they could not act too hastily. They had to observe secretly first to see who was most opposed to moving the capital.
After such a discussion, Dugucai took people to the construction site to find Chen Gui and told him about the haunting. Chen Gui was shocked after hearing this, but after learning that there was no ghost, he was also a little excited because
In this way, the project can be accelerated.
Tie Rong and Bater led people in Beiping City to investigate who made the precise copper tube.
After Dugucai, Tie Rong and others left, Di Xiaojie asked with some confusion: "Brother Ye, they all have things to do, what should we do?"
Ye Xing smiled slightly and said: "Of course we are going to investigate the officials of Beiping City!"
"Isn't it easy to rush into this matter? How should we investigate it?" Xu Ruoxuan raised his own question.
After Ye Xing thought for a while, he said: "I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to investigate directly. We might as well go and inquire first in the name of a visit."
Now that's all they have to do.
Ye Xing visited many officials in Beiping City as the Great Ming King of the World, but he did not get many clues from these officials. Around noon, Ye Xing and the others entered an inn very disappointed.
But as soon as they sat down and started eating, a soldier hurried over and said: "King Ming Dynasty, something big happened. When Master Tie and Barter were investigating the craftsmen, they found a corpse.
Corpse, go and take a look!"
What happened was somewhat beyond Ye Xing's expectation. Tie Rong and Bater went to investigate the matter of copper pipes. How could they find a corpse? Could it be that the corpse belonged to a craftsman and was a craftsman who helped make the copper pipes. He was killed by someone.
Killed and silenced?
Thinking of this, Ye Xing and the others did not care about eating, and hurriedly followed the soldier to where Tie Rong and Battle were.
It was a relatively narrow alley, and there was a row of cactus planted on the wall of the alley, presumably to prevent thieves from climbing in. A few soldiers held the outside of the alley, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. Tie Rong, Battle, and the remaining soldiers were all
Come in a courtyard.
The yard is quiet, with several wall-creeping tigers planted inside. A grape trellis is covered with lush leaves. There is a stone bench under the grape trellis, and a corpse lies next to the stone bench, with a cattail leaf fan in the corpse's hand.
, there were a few drops of blood on the cattail leaf fan.
When Tie Rong saw Ye Xing and others coming, he hurriedly went up to him and said, "I have done a rough inspection of the body. The deceased was killed by a knife across the chest from the front. The wound was smooth and there was no stagnation at all.
But the murderer’s knife skills are very good.”[
Ye Xing nodded slightly, then squatted down to check the body, and finally said: "Master Tie's statement about the wounds on the body is absolutely correct. The murderer's knife skills are indeed very good. One strike kills without leaving any stagnation, but from the wounds
Judging from the direction, the only murderer is left-handed."
After Ye Xing said this, everyone quickly paid attention to the wound of the deceased. The wound was scratched from the left shoulder of the deceased to the right chest. Other than that, there was nothing strange about it.
Di Xiaojie looked at the wound and said puzzledly: "A man with a knife in his right hand can also cut such a wound!"
Ye Xing nodded and said: "Yes, a person holding a knife in his right hand can indeed cut such a wound, but if the murderer holds the knife in his right hand, after he pulls out the knife, and then cuts the murderer's left shoulder, it will take
When the wrist is used to turn the knife in one direction, the movement will not be very smooth, and after the wrist is turned, the knife that the murderer cuts to the left shoulder will not turn downward, but will slide almost parallel, that is to say
The stab wound will not extend to the right chest, but will scratch the deceased's neck."
After Ye Xing said this, everyone realized that this was indeed the case. If the murderer killed someone with a knife in his right hand and slashed on the left shoulder of the deceased, the wound should indeed be on the neck rather than the chest.
Now the deceased was wounded in the chest, which means the murderer was left-handed.
But even if they know that the murderer is left-handed, there is not much they can do. After all, they don't know many clues about the murderer. It will take time to find the left-handed master.
Naturally, everyone understood the difficulty of this matter, so after Ye Xing finished speaking, no one spoke casually. After Ye Xing inspected the body, he said: "This man has calluses on his hands. He is indeed a craftsman. Can you guys?"
Have you ever found out who he is?"
Seeing this, Tie Rong quickly replied: "This man's neighbors are here. You can call them and ask."
