Chapter 1396 My Path

For a skilled coroner.

Dissecting a corpse is a simple matter.

It is not much different from cutting pork.

But if the corpse is a close relative...

It is inevitable that the knife and hands will tremble.

Who can be ruthless?

Regarding Jiang Wang's question.

Lin Youxie was silent for a while, then closed the wooden box and put it back into the storage box.

"I forgot to drink it." She said calmly.

Zheng Shangming didn't know that Lin Youxie had panic disorder, so he had no way of understanding the emotions of this conversation.

He just asked: "Deputy Envoy Lin, have you finished the examination?"

"Yes, it's done." Lin Youxie said.

"Any clues?" Zheng Shangming asked.

"Do you really want to know?" Lin Youxie asked.

"Of course." Zheng Shangming said, "Why, is it inconvenient to say?"

"The deceased had seven wounds on his body, and only one of them could be called fatal. That is the piercing wound on the skull, which should be caused by the wind, the index finger.

The remaining six wounds were obviously caused after death, and the wounds were very irregular. They should be caused by a scavenging fish called 'Chongxi' near Haimen Island.

I think the real cause of his death should be the collapse of his soul. Only after death does the golden body and jade disintegrate. The wound on the skull was just added later to confuse people.

I have good reason to suspect that the person who killed him was not from the outer sea, and Haimen Island was not his first death scene..."

Lin Youxie said this in one breath and looked at Zheng Shangming: "I have said so much, will Beiya investigate Daze Tianshi?"

Zheng Shangming was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly said: "This depends on what the higher-ups mean."

Lin Youxie said nothing more, just turned around and walked out.

Jiang Wang followed her silently.

Neither of them spoke, and walked out of Beiya in silence.

The people who had greeted the coffin before had dispersed, as if the sadness that enveloped the entire Beiya only occurred when they saw Wu Lie's body.

"Why did you follow me?" Lin Youxie suddenly asked.

"When people are irrational, they tend to make stupid choices." Jiang Wang said, "We have worked together for a while, and I don't want you to die as a fool."

"It's all over." Lin Youxie said.

The famous detective Wu Lie is dead, and the clues from Gu Xing on Bajiao Island will only be hidden deeper.

Even if there were some before, they must have been erased now.

In the absence of definitive evidence, no matter how you doubt or analyze, no matter how reasonable those analyses are... it's all in vain.

The cruelest thing is this.

It has been seventeen years since the assassination of Concubine Lei.

Wu Lie and Lin Youxie have also been pursuing it for seventeen years. In these seventeen years, they have certainly gained some, but they can never get close to the core truth.

They fought alone and made difficult progress.

Until Feng Gu died suddenly this time, leaving clues, pointing directly at the current queen.

The dusty truth just vaguely emerged in the water.

Only one step away...

It was only one step away from the truth, but this step could not be taken.

When Uriel's body floated quietly on the sea, how did he feel?

It must be very regretful, right?

But as Lin Youxie said, everything is over.

Any rational person should understand that this farce is over.

Feng Gu died.

Gongsun Yu died.

Uriel died.

If the investigation goes on endlessly, more people will die.

And the truth will not be revealed.

More people will only die meaninglessly.

Among the more people, of course, Yang Jing can be included, as can Lin Youxie, and even Jiang Wang.

Lin Youxie is still alive now, just because of her official status.

As the deputy inspector, she has been wearing a green card for many years. Killing her is tantamount to provoking the dignity of the country.

But if it really comes to the time when she must be killed, the person behind the scenes will not be soft-hearted.

After all, even Concubine Lei was dead, so why couldn't a mere deputy inspector be killed?

"Yes, it seems that everything is over." Jiang Wang said, "But you won't give up."

Lin Youxie continued to walk forward without saying anything.

Jiang Wang followed behind and continued, "You said you have the same firm heart as me. So I know you won't give up."

"What if I don't give up?" Lin Youxie said.

Jiang Wang said, "Life is long, and there are many possibilities in the future..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Lin Youxie raised his hand to stop him, and waved his hand again.

"Please go back, Lord Jiang." She said, "I want to be quiet."

Jiang Wang stopped and watched her walk away quietly.

Linzi is very big and there are many people. This slightly thin back just walked into the busy streets and soon disappeared.

The more prosperous Linzi is, the more lonely people who are ignored by this city are.

Look at this surging crowd, so ordinary.

However, every drop of water in the crowd is a life that has been trekking for a long time. Everyone has their own story, their own choices, and their own difficulties.

Who in the world is not suffering?

So the Buddhists say that this is the sea of ​​suffering.

Jiang Wang calmed down and was about to turn around and go back home, when suddenly a voice exploded in his ears--

"Lin Kuang did die of suicide back then. That's all I can say."

This voice was obviously disguised, very neutral, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female, and it was impossible to find the original voice at all.

The voice-hearing fairy state was activated instantly. Jiang Wang traced the source of the sound almost immediately. He turned around and saw a figure disappearing around the corner.

There is a street in front of the Capital Inspection Office, and across the street is a high wall. Behind the high wall is a community of houses specially built for Qingpai agents. Many agents live in them, and the environment is very good.

The long street extends to both sides, and there is a long street cutting vertically at the ends of both sides. It is roughly an inverted, "work"-shaped layout. Beiya is just north of this upside-down "work" character.

Except for the street in front of the Capital Inspectorate Office, which is a little deserted, the streets on both sides are very lively.

Lin Youxie walked on the west side of the street, and the mysterious messenger walked on the east side.

While capturing the source of the sound, Jiang Wang tiptoed, the blue clouds disappeared, and he stepped gracefully. He rushed to the east street as quickly as possible, but he could only see pedestrians on both ends of the street. Crowds of people are crowded here and there, everyone is busy with their own lives.

Where can I find any trace of that mysterious man?

Who is it?

And why did you come here to say this?

Is it out of the so-called simple sense of justice, or pity for Lin Youxie, or is it a deliberate reminder from some force that refuses to let the case reach a deadlock?

Jiang Wang now has a very good understanding of Lin Youxie's state over the years, and understands the sentence in Feng Gu's suicide note——

“Look around you, no one doubts you.”

Du Fang could be regarded as half of Lin Kuang's disciples, but it was he who threw Lin Kuang's body in front of Lin Youxie.

I am a dignified third-grade golden melon warrior and a fourth-grade green head catcher. I strictly followed the procedures and went to the autopsy room for an autopsy. Someone concealed my identity and accompanied me.

When I go on a mission, I take a carriage from Beiya. The driver is all his subordinates.

Gongsun Yu didn't say a word, didn't reveal any information, but he still turned around and died.

Uriel was a famous arrester, God came to cultivate his power, and finally his body was found floating in the sea...

When it comes to the assassination of Concubine Lei, everyone and everything becomes complicated.

So even though this message contained a strong warning, Jiang Wang was still very vigilant.

But then again.

If what this mysterious man said is true, Lin Kuang did commit suicide that year...

So, why?

How could a person like Lin Kuang, the best Qingpai head catcher in history, the kind of person who took Qingpai as his lifelong glory... commit suicide? How could you choose such an unseemly outcome?

The answer is actually very obvious...

…

…

When he returned to the mansion, Chongxuan Sheng was also there.

The fat man was holding an unbladed sword and was sparring back and forth with Fourteen.

This is nothing, the only problem is...

The place where they discussed was the courtyard where Jiang Wang lived.

"Can't we just change the place to play?" Jiang Wang could not help but frown as he heard ping-ping-ping-pong-ping as soon as he entered the door: "I spent money to decorate this courtyard."

Chong Xuan Sheng said without looking back: "If I break it, I will pay you double the amount."

Jiang Wang stopped talking immediately.

We are all friends, there is nothing to argue about.

Anyway, he closed the bedroom and blocked out the sounds, so he could practice without fear of being disturbed.

A truly diligent practitioner should have the concentration to practice in a busy city!

"This is for you." Chongxuan Sheng casually threw a pamphlet over in the dazzling light of the sword: "Gongsun Yu's investigation results."

Probably he was waiting for Jiang Wang here, and practicing the sword was just a casual thing.

Jiang Wang reached out to catch it and muttered: "It's a bit unlike you to work hard."

Zhongxuansheng said angrily in the midst of his busy schedule: "You practice like you are rushing in front of me every day, do I have the nerve to be lazy?!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, you continue."

Jiang Wangqie didn't want to arouse his anger yet. He stood by the courtyard gate and silently read the information amidst the glare of swords and swords that filled the courtyard.

The information investigated by the shadow guard almost completely outlines Gongsun Yu's trajectory after leaving the Changsheng Palace.

Information supported by multiple parties can verify that the Changsheng Palace has indeed been secretly investigating the case of Concubine Lei, but it suddenly stopped last year.

This information is completely consistent with Jiang Wang's own inference - Jiang Wuqi did find out the truth, and then chose to remain silent. Gongsun Yu also chose to cut his tongue in order to keep this secret.

He put this information away and took out the Sauvignon Blanc with his backhand.

As soon as the sword sounded, Zhong Xuansheng seemed to have received some signal. He jumped out of the battle group, put his sword behind him, and looked at Jiang Wang with a wary look: "What are you doing?"

"That's not how a knife is used." Jiang Wang's expression was very sincere: "Good brother, I discovered some problems with your sword skills."

Zhong Xuansheng put the knife directly into the storage box, sat down on the stone chair, and rolled his eyes: "None of your business?"

The fat all over his body was shaking, and he looked like "I'm defenseless now, if you don't have a moral bottom line, come and chop me down."

Jiang Wang felt a little regretful, but he could only put away his sword with regret. He whispered: "You are so immodest, your progress is very slow."

Objectively speaking, Chong Xuan Sheng's sword skills are definitely not bad, and it can even be said that he has quite good attainments.

But he is indeed far away from the top level of this realm.

Not only the sword skills, but also all kinds of Taoist skills, secret skills, fists, kicks, and body skills of Chong Xuan Sheng... all have very high attainments, but none of them have reached the peak.

He is so smart that he can reach very high levels without any effort at all.

But to reach the pinnacle, it is not enough to rely on intelligence alone. It requires consistent efforts and full dedication. In the day-to-day training, you need to capture the fleeting inspiration...

In general, there are too many distractions.

Chong Xuansheng himself understands this.

However, although opponents of Jiang Wang's level can help him a little, the effect is also limited in the case of life and death, so he will not give Jiang Wang a legitimate opportunity to beat him.

He knows very well where his path is. Only the official road can integrate all his talents.

Of course, this road should start with the title of Marquis of Bowang... It can save decades of hard work.

Chong Xuansheng collapsed on the stone chair and curled his lips: "You don't even want the position of Bei Ya Duwei, you will progress slower this way!"

"I don't bother to care about you." Jiang Wang sneered, walked around him and walked straight into the room.

"Look, you don't like to hear this, right?"

Jiang Wang turned his head: "Then why don't you say something I like to hear?"

Zhong Xuansheng said: "Our Desheng Chamber of Commerce has a good business this year, and there will be a lot of dividends at the end of the year."

Jiang Wang's tense face showed a smile.

"But we don't share it, we have to invest in expanding the business." Zhong Xuansheng said.

"If you ask me, Fourteen shouldn't spoil you." Jiang Wang said angrily: "Do you know that Fourteen's swordsmanship is much better than yours? She just suppressed her strength so that she can spar with you properly. You still think that you don't need guidance every day! No modesty, no self-awareness!"

Compared to Zhong Xuansheng, it is Fourteen's swordsmanship that has touched the top of this realm. I don't know how much hard work this girl who has been hiding under the iron armor for many years has done behind the scenes.

However, Fourteen has not been able to take off the magical power so far, which is another congenital deficiency.

"Really?" Zhong Xuansheng turned his head to look at Fourteen.

Fourteen finally said softly: "Just a little bit better than you."

"You are so good, how come you are so good?" Chong Xuansheng laughed until his eyes disappeared: "I don't need to struggle at all!"

Jiang Wang wrinkled his old face into a ball: "The information has been delivered, and the competition has been held. If you want me to say, go back to your own courtyard if there is nothing else, okay? Don't affect the practice of the number one prodigy of Da Qi!"

He deliberately pointed out Fourteen's progress in swordsmanship, just to humiliate the fat man.

But how could this fat man look humiliated?

He almost held the iron lump and started to chew it!

He had to drive him away.

Fourteen took a step back as if he was trying to cover up his mistake...

"Cough!" Chong Xuansheng coughed lightly, without any embarrassment, and said seriously: "Just stop interfering, okay? Uncle Jiang?"

Jiang Wang didn't say anything.

Chong Xuansheng added: "You are only responsible for supervising the progress of the case, and you can withdraw at any time. This is the way out given to you by the emperor. If you don't take it now, when will you take it?

Give you a chance, but you don't want it. Give you a way out, but you don't take it. What do you want to do?

To what extent do you think the emperor can tolerate you?"

Jiang Wang retreated into the bedroom, and laughed and scolded: "It's none of your business?"

Slamming the door.
