Dragon Pattern Roll Set

If Zhan Zhao and the others were still investigating an old case before, it is obvious that the case is not as simple as an unsolved mystery... There is a court official with a different head in front of him. It became complicated in an instant.

Master Yang, the minister of the Ministry of War, and several other important officials rushed over, and they were also very surprised to see this scene.

Zhan Zhao asked Cao Nan about his usual personality, and everyone said that he was very capable and calm, but the key was that Cao Nan was also good at it!There were a lot of people coming and going in the compound of the Ministry of War just now, the door of Cao Nan's study room was still open, and the two groups of officials who delivered official documents to him had just left. It is said that Cao Nan was still sitting at the table very well.Why did you lose your head in the blink of an eye?

Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu were checking in the study, while Tianzun and Yin Hou were crossing their arms and rubbing their chins, looking up at the "reverse painting" on the wall

The fourth son asked Xigulu, "Why is the painting reversed? Is there any difference between the reversed painting and the right painting?"

Xigulu shook his head foolishly. Of course he didn't know, and asked Zhao Pu curiously, "Daguo, it turns out that some people died when they didn't go to the battlefield."

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and patted the fool's head, but was speechless for a while.

Although Bai Yutang was looking at the official files on the table, he was thinking about Xigulu's words—he and Zhan Zhao have been running around investigating cases over the years, and have seen all kinds of bizarre cases, sometimes the more foolish they are On the contrary, the more it hits the nail on the head—why?In addition to the battlefield, so many corpses can be seen.

"It's not hand-painted, is it?"

"What is it if it's not a hand?"

"It's not a pen either."

"The action is finished so quickly? A painting saint!"

When Zhan Zhao and the others turned their heads, they saw Tianzun and Yin Hou arguing in front of the "blood" painting.

Although Tianzun and Yin Hou are often noisy, arguing endlessly because of a small matter, but when you think about it carefully, it is really strange.

"If it was drawn with fingers, there would be no fingerprints," said Zhao Pu.

"It's really fast and neat to draw with a brush." ​​Bai Yutang also nodded, "And this painting feels a bit strange."

"What's strange?" Zhan Zhao came over and asked.

"Unless it is drawn with two strokes, the two paintings also have to be painted first and then painted, so the degree of dryness of the whole painting should be different." Bai Yutang said.

Everyone could understand Wu Ye's statement. If you draw from left to right, the left side will dry first, and the right side will dry later. After all, blood dries up very easily.But the degree of dryness and wetness of this painting is almost the same. How fast do you have to paint to have this effect?

"No matter how fast you paint, you won't lose any strokes." Gongsun also found it incredible.

Everyone was wondering, when the fourth son suddenly said, "Should I brush it up!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked down at the fourth son, "Shut up?"

The fourth son nodded and nodded, tugging at Zhao Pu, "We made palace lanterns on September [-]th, and the plum blossoms were painted on them!"

"Ah!" Zhao Pu clapped his hands and remembered.That day he and the fourth son made palace lanterns together, and the fourth son had to draw many plum blossoms on the white silk surface, each of which had to be the same size.He and the fourth son were worried, Chen Xing'er ran over and cut a plum blossom model for the fourth son with thick paper. Just put the thick paper on the silk cloth and paint it with color, and the plum blossoms would come out.

"There is a pattern on it..." Zhan Zhao studied for a while, "Did it be done by accident, or on purpose?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, and always felt that after Xigulu came, the tone of the fourth son's speech was taken away, and now even the cat was taken astray...

"If it was reversed accidentally, it means that the person who brushed this picture may not know the meaning of Yuweidu?" Gongsun asked, "Or is it very, very careless?"

"So you got it wrong because you were careless?" Zhao Pu sighed, "That killer is too good..."

"This mold shouldn't be small, right?" Bai Yutang asked, "Can it be done by one person? There are no traces of nails nailed around."

"It takes at least two or even three people to be reliable." Zhan Zhao asked Yin Hou and Tianzun, "Did you two see someone just now?"

Both Tianzun and Yin Hou nodded.

"The one who ran out in front of that person?" Bai Yutang asked.

Both Tianzun and Yin Hou shook their heads, "That person came out suddenly, and there was no one else around."

Everyone looked at each other.

"So..." Gongsun looked at the military officials gathered outside the door, "Could the accomplice have left?"

"It is indeed easier to start with someone to help." Zhan Zhao also said, "The problem is how to find out the accomplice."

Everyone turned to look at Zhan Zhao with a "swipe".

The guard Zhan was nervous, "What are you doing?"

"You are not the most evil idea." Yin Hou said, "Think about it!"

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao scratched his head lightly, and looked at the more and more members of the military department gathered outside the door.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's mouth suddenly twitch, Bai Yutang knew that the cat probably had a bad idea.

"Ahem." Zhan Zhao coughed lightly, and waved to the Minister of War.

Master Yang came in wiping his sweat, "Master Zhan, do you have any clues about the murderer?"

"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, and whispered a few words to Master Yang.

There was a puzzled expression on the face of the Minister of War, but since Zhan Zhao said so, he nodded and went out to follow suit.

After a while, almost all the military officials gathered in the yard.

The Minister of the Ministry of War asked everyone to stand in a row.

A total of more than 40 people stood in two rows, back to back, one row facing the south courtyard gate, and the other row facing the north courtyard gate, leaving a walkway in the middle.

The Minister of War looks at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao then nodded.

The Minister of the Ministry of War said, "Everyone, put your hands behind your back!"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and although they were confused, they did as they were told.

Zhan Zhao whispered a few more words to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu slightly raised his eyebrows and walked out.

Most of the officials here are not low-ranking, Zhan Zhao may not be listened to when he speaks, but Zhao Pu is different. In terms of playing the game, apart from Zhao Zhen, Zhao Pu is the most reliable.Don't look at this Marshal of the Army and Horses who played with the youngest four sons and Gongsun all day long in Kaifeng Mansion, and was chased and beaten by Gongsun every day, but for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, this is a deadly Shura, so everyone in the Ministry of War dared not show their arrogance. .

Following the method taught by Zhan Zhao, Zhao Pu walked to the middle of the two rows and said, "Hands are behind the back, you are not allowed to reach the front, whichever one is photographed, which one can put the hands to the front, understand?"

Everyone nodded to show they understood.

When Zhao Pu was speaking, Zhan Zhao had already walked over, with his hands behind his back, pacing behind those officials.

The Minister of War also came over and asked Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, what are you looking for?"

"Take a look at their sleeves!" Zhan Zhao said coldly, "Grab anyone with blood on their sleeves."

After speaking, Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu started pacing behind those people.

Bai Yutang dragged the fourth son along for a stroll.

After walking for a while, Bai Yutang patted the fourth son lightly, and winked at him.

Zhan Zhao had already taught him just now, and the fourth son immediately yelled, "That man has blood on his sleeve!"

As soon as the fourth son's words came out of his mouth, two people suddenly rushed out of the team and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard.

It's just that as soon as they ran to the door, they were carried back by Tianzun through the air.

The ones who fell into the courtyard were two young officials, both of whom were subordinates of Cao Nan, and usually went in and out of Cao Nan's study, and they were the ones who came to deliver the official documents just now.

The Minister of the Ministry of War told Zhan Zhao that one of these two men was named Liu Yong and the other was Chen Ping, both of whom were Cao Nan's deputies, helping to handle official documents.

The two looked at each other, and subconsciously lowered their heads to look at their sleeves—but strangely, there was no blood on their sleeves.

The two froze for a moment, then looked at Zhan Zhao at the same time, realizing that they had been scammed!

Zhan Zhao was indeed cheating, the trick was that they put their hands behind their backs, and Zhan Zhao and the others walked behind everyone, none of them knew what happened behind them!In addition, the fourth son suddenly shouted, if there is an accomplice here, he would definitely help to hold the "mold" just now, with so much blood, who knows if it will be stained on the sleeve?There is no coat, and the inner coat is hard to protect.Those who have ghosts in their hearts will probably choose to run away quickly... so there is a self-inflicted attack.

Everyone stared at Zhan Zhao—as expected, his stomach was full of bad water.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and went to look at the two captured "accomplices"

The two were honest, knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they were forced to do nothing.

Zhao Pu asked them, "What happened?"

Liu Yong and Chen Ping said that when they returned home last night, they found that their youngest son had been kidnapped, leaving only one thing behind...

What was left at Liu Yong's house was a piece of leather with a pattern engraved on it, which was the pattern of fishtail crossing on the wall, which was what Zhan Zhao and the others called the "mold".And what Chen Ping kept at home were brushes.

In addition, both of them also received a letter, which said that tomorrow they just need to go to Cao Nan's room, paste the mold on the wall, paint it with Cao Nan's blood, and leave a blood picture, and the task will be completed .As long as they are responsible for burning two things, their children will return home that night, otherwise, they will wait to collect the children's bodies.

Zhan Zhao and the others frowned, it turned out to be like this, no wonder the brushes were reversed, the two couldn't tell which side was the front and which was the back.

"Is it still there?"

"Yes." Chen Ping ran aside tremblingly, moved a flowerpot away, and found a roll of bloody leather and a brush stained with blood hidden under the flowerpot.

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I saw a man in black, with his face covered, and we didn't see his movements clearly." Chen Ping said, "We just walked to the door, and saw him holding a machete. The adult flashed out from behind, cut off the adult's head and put it on the table, and disappeared in a flash."

Liu Yong also nodded, "When he left, I heard what he seemed to be muttering."

"What?" Everyone looked at him.

"God... God porridge or something..." Liu Yong thought.

"Heavenly porridge?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "What kind of porridge?"

"Seeing that big puddle of blood, you shouldn't be in the mood to drink porridge, right?" Zhao Pu thought he might be a servant.

"Could it be a curse or something?" Gongsun asked.

"Heavenly curse is possible." Zhan Zhao opened the bloody skin to look.

"If the painting is straight, what is the effect?" Gongsun was curious.

Zhao Pu asked someone to find a piece of white cloth, and painted the mold with ink.

After the drawing was finished and the model was removed, everyone looked at the picture, and they were stunned when they saw it...

"Does it look like it?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Mmm! It's the painting hanging in the lobby of Manji!"

Zhao Pu also felt something suspicious, "Could it be that the other party is trying to imply that the murderer is from Manji?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Killed Cao Nan by such a coincidence... In other words, Cao Nan really had something to do with the case back then? Could it be that the guess that he was jealous and killed him was really right?!"
