It seemed that his plan to go to Phantom Valley would be delayed. His two cheap senior brothers seemed to be interested in this case.
Yuan Luochuan was different from them. He felt that his senior brother was scheming against him, but he couldn't say anything deep down. Although he had doubts in his heart, there was nothing he could do. No matter what, he couldn't stop Zongheng's decision.
Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang had a tacit understanding. They left after giving Yuan Luochuan a simple explanation. It seemed like they had their own way of investigating this matter.
Yuan Luochuan pondered for a while in his room and realized that his thoughts were a mess. He decided not to think about it anymore and prepared to go out and look for it. Perhaps he would find something shocking. At least, that was how it was in TV dramas.
The entire restaurant had been heavily surrounded by the Chu army. No one was allowed to enter or leave the restaurant. However, because of their relationship with Zhong Heng, Ji Bu and the others did not restrict Yuan Luochuan's movements, even though Yuan Luochuan and the others were the closest to the crime scene last night.
Yuan Luochuan wasn't stupid. There was definitely a problem here. After all, the person who died was an important minister of the Chu Country. No matter how fearful he was of Zongheng's might, he shouldn't just ask a few questions and settle the matter hastily.
Of course, if others didn't say anything, Yuan Luochuan wouldn't be so shameless as to find someone to lock him up. Besides, he himself was innocent.
However, last night's victim had died in the second room next to his, and he hadn't noticed at all. This made Yuan Luochuan very puzzled. No matter what, he had some basic skills now, so he wasn't considered a newbie. Besides, detecting the movements around him wasn't something high-end. How was it possible for him to kill someone without knowing?
Even if he was a noob, what about Wei Zhuang and Xiaomeng, who were in the same room? The two of them were experts. How could they not know?
However, Ge Nia also said that he saw someone on the roof two quarters after midnight. There was no need to lie about this. If there really was such a person, who could it be?
Yuan Luochuan was an assistant director, not a criminal investigator. However, he had seen pigs run before, so he understood the general process.
Unknowingly, Yuan Luochuan had arrived at the front hall of the restaurant. This place had been isolated by Ji Bu as a simple interrogation room. Ying Bu was nowhere to be seen, so it was likely that there was something else going on.
Ji Bu was now asking the manager of the restaurant. He was a shrewd middle-aged man with a pair of small eyes. He looked like a typical commoner.
This kind of person was often very observant and tactful, but they were also the type of people who could survive the most.
Ji Bu also noticed Yuan Luochuan at the side during the interrogation. He smiled and nodded as a greeting. He neither agreed nor objected to Yuan Luochuan's presence. He didn't know what his plans were.
Yuan Luochuan listened to Ji Bu's question from the side. It was very conventional and nothing special. The boss's answer was also very standard and he couldn't find any major problems.
However, there was one thing that caught Yuan Luochuan's attention. When Ji Bu asked about Xiaomeng, Yuan Luochuan didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the shopkeeper was intentionally trying to lead Ji Bu's thoughts to Xiaomeng.
However, this was just a feeling. It was something mysterious that couldn't be explained.
After interrogating the shopkeeper, he began interrogating the waiters below, and then the guests. Ji Bu was quite smart. He knew that everyone would be interrogated individually. He did not expect that this awareness had been possessed by people in the State of Qin more than 2,000 years ago.
The local soldiers of Flying Arc Town came by once on the way. After all, this was their territory. If they didn't come to take a look when something went wrong, Yuan Luochuan would feel that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, other than the soldiers of Flying Arc Town, there was another group of people. They were soldiers of the State of Qin, and their leader was a centurion of the State of Qin's Flood Dragon Legion.
After Wei Zhuang's explanation, Yuan Luochuan knew that the Flood Dragon Legion was not weak. In the Qin army, their status was second only to the Meng family's Golden Fire Cavalry.
However, the centurion did not make any unnecessary movements. He only asked a few symbolic questions, which Ji Bu brushed off.
But what were the Qin soldiers doing here? Is there really something about Qin in this?
After all, this was an era of war, and the ones who died were important officials of the Chu Country.
Yuan Luochuan's initial thought was to have internal strife or to kill the enemy.
The internal conflicts of a country were very sharp, and the possibility of dying at the hands of political opponents was very high.
The other was done by the Qin Kingdom. Now that the Qin Kingdom wanted to unify the seven countries, it seemed very likely that they would send someone to kill one of the other party's ministers.
However, the arrival of the Qin soldiers was a little interesting. Whether they wanted to indirectly wash away the suspicion or fish in troubled waters, no one could tell.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was the enemy.
In ancient times, there was a certain awareness of protecting the scene, but the methods were far less effective than in modern times.
Returning to the crime scene, Yuan Luochuan hoped to find something.
The entire house was neat and tidy, but the stench of corpses lingered for a long time. It made Yuan Luochuan feel a little uncomfortable. He held his breath with his internal energy before he felt better.
"Wait, something's wrong."
Yuan Luochuan suddenly realized that something was wrong with the smell. Normally, a corpse would not have such a serious rotten smell in just a few hours. Even if it was a hot day, it was impossible for it to decay so quickly.
The ancients paid attention to the burial of the dead. Why were the corpses still placed here? This did not conform to common sense.
Yuan Luochuan had a big question mark in his heart.
Observing the dead man in front of him carefully, the feeling of disgust welled up in his heart again.”
However, Yuan Luochuan still suppressed the urge to vomit and began to examine her carefully.
He roughly checked the items on the corpse. It was heavy enough. If it was placed now, it would be a big tiger and would definitely be beaten down.
In the end, there seemed to be no discovery. The victim was killed with a single stab. The wound was deliberately made large by the murderer, making it impossible to determine what kind of weapon caused it.
However, Yuan Luochuan felt that the wound was too normal. The wound and the amount of bleeding were too normal. This made Yuan Luochuan return to the original problem.
How did he not notice it?
With such a large wound and such a large amount of bleeding, it was impossible for him to not sense anything.
Slowly, Yuan Luochuan found some clues from the deceased.
There was a tiny red line on the left hand of the deceased. At first, it was inconspicuous in the blood all over his body. Now, as the blood dried up and changed color, it slowly revealed itself.
Yuan Luochuan felt that this red string was very familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before.
Just as he was thinking about it for a long time without any results, Ji Bu seemed to have finished interrogating the people in the restaurant and walked towards Yuan Luochuan.
Now that Ji Bu was here, Yuan Luochuan couldn't continue his investigation. He casually dealt with Ji Bu and left.
Yuan Luochuan felt like his brain was about to explode after thinking about the case for the entire day. He stopped thinking and walked out of the restaurant to stroll around the streets.
Having lived two lives, Yuan Luochuan had an unusually strong sensing ability. He could sense that someone had been following him since he left the restaurant.
He knew that it was Ji Bu who had sent him to follow him. It was well hidden and ordinary people could not find it.
Yuan Luochuan understood this. No matter what, he was still a suspect. He didn't restrict his freedom. He just sent someone to follow him secretly. It didn't affect him. Let him be.
Yuan Luochuan was very curious about what his two senior brothers had found out.
Especially Ge Nie, because Yuan Luochuan later remembered that the red string on the victim's hand was very similar to the one Great Si Ming had given to Yan Dan.
Of course, it was just a resemblance. There might be a connection between the two, but it was definitely not Great Si Ming. Although Yuan Luochuan had never seen the Yin Yang Curse Seal, his intuition told him that it was not Great Si Ming.
However, he wasn't Great Si Ming, but he was somehow related to the State of Qin. It seemed like the intention of the Flood Dragon Army wasn't simple.
What made Yuan Luochuan feel the most interested was the way Chu did things.
No matter what, he was still a person from their Chu Country. Why did such a big shot go out without a guard? And why was it that the incident that happened at a quarter past midnight last night was only discovered this morning?
Also, Ji Bu's behavior didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about this case.
Although his thoughts were in a mess, Yuan Luochuan could feel that he had grasped onto something very important.
Of course, Yuan Luochuan still had one more important thing to do, and that was to find Xiaomeng. He had a feeling that Xiaomeng must have known something last night.
This was still intuition.
