Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 234 Homicide

Lin Feng thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

He turned around and ran into the castle.

I should go back and see who couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed me.

Lin Feng's team grew too fast, so it was inevitable that there would be a mix of good and bad people.

This is exactly what gives him a headache.

It is difficult to educate loyal subordinates in a short period of time.

Lin Feng didn't hold out much hope for Xie Zhong's pursuit.

Because Xie Zhong and others could not match that man's skills.

After entering the city, Lin Feng went straight to the prison behind the castle.

The prison area was in chaos, and many soldiers were cleaning up the scene.

"Where's Li Hu?"

A soldier immediately replied: "General, General Li was injured and is being treated."

Lin Feng's heart sank.

The opponent is good at fighting, and Li Hu is in trouble.

Following the soldiers into a house, Li Hu was lying on the bed, and a doctor was busy bandaging his wounds.

Lin Feng rushed over and grabbed Li Hu's wrist.

I felt that although my pulse was weak, it was still beating stubbornly.

He sighed, "Doctor, how is he?"

"Oh, General Lin, he was stabbed twice, the wounds are very deep, I don't know if he can survive."

Lin Feng nodded: "Be careful and save his life."

"Yes, General Lin, I will do my best."

There were two injured guards, but they were not seriously injured.

Lin Feng turned around and went to the cell where Na Lan was imprisoned, carefully observing the situation inside.

Hu Jincai followed him all the time.

"Boss, that Tartar woman ran away?"

"Ran."

"How is it possible? How could someone escape from such a sturdy cell?"

Lin Feng ignored him and went into the log fence alone, stroking the steel cage with his hand.

At that time, the iron cage covered three men in black.

With this kind of steel, it is difficult for them to break through.

Besides, there are people guarding it.

At that time, I told Li Xiong to design a mechanism when asking the craftsmen to make the iron cage.

Once the iron cage falls, it will be hooked into the iron buckle on the ground. No one can open it without special tools.

Lin Feng grabbed the iron cage with his hands and lifted it up.

He found that the iron buckles at the four corners of the iron cage were open.

Lin Feng had no guards around him at this time, so he had to speak to Hu Jincai.

"Tell your people to go to the craftsman's workshop and find a craftsman named Qu Qiuguo and bring him here."

"Yes, boss."

"Hey, get someone to call Li Xiong over."

"Yes, boss."

"Send someone to the post station area to see if those second-generation officials have returned."

"Yes, boss."

The series of orders left Hu Jincai confused and at a loss.

"immediately!"

Lin Feng shouted.

"Hey, it's the boss."

Hu Jincai quickly turned around and gave orders.

Lin Feng was in a bad mood and spoke harshly, which made Hu Jincai's legs tremble.

Li Xiong came very quickly and ran out of breath.

"Boss, what's going on?"

Lin Feng looked gloomy and stared into his eyes.

"How did this button get opened?"

Li Xiong was confused. He bent down and lifted the steel fence with his hand.

"This... Boss, it can't be opened without special tools."

"Do I need you to say it?"

"Boss, I...I don't know either..."

Li Xiong thought for a moment and said, "All of this has been handled by Master Qu. I'll go ask him."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave when a soldier came running towards him.

"Report, General, Qiu Guo in the Artisan's Workshop District...is dead."

Lin Feng looked up at the roof in silence.

"Have the coroner examine the body and search his residence."

After a short silence, Lin Feng gave the order.

Another soldier came running over to report.

"General, several generals are not in the post station area. They are said to have left the city yesterday and have not returned yet."

Lin Feng waved his hand and asked the soldiers to leave.

"Li Xiong, only I and I know about this. Qu Qiuguo is just a craftsman. Please explain it to me."

Li Xiong scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

"Boss, I can't explain it. This...this is so weird..."

"Tell me all the details of the activities in the past few days."

Li Xiong rolled his eyes and then slapped his thigh.

"By the way, I drank too much the day before yesterday..."

"Who did you drink with?"

"Uh... Li Donglai, Hu Jincai, and Zhang Chang have a few..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and thought.

"Oh, by the way, there's also Su Yun Chu Jiao."

"Huh? How did you get involved with them?"

"Boss, we went to the border army camp together and had some contact with each other."

"Is there any more?"

Li Xiong grabbed his hair hard and looked around.

Suddenly, he saw Hu Jincai standing outside the door and called out hurriedly.

"Old Hu, who else came to drink that day?"

Hu Jincai shouted, "You're so drunk you're like a pile of mud. Have you forgotten everything?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

"That's all. The other one is General Qiao."

"Qiao Jun?"

"Ah."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Then Cui Ying and Zhao Shuo didn't go?"

Hu Jincai also began to scratch his head: "Hehe, I guess they are of noble status and don't want to associate with us."

Lin Feng carefully examined several details of the cell.

This was a typical case of insider and outside cooperation, which rescued Nalan from the cage.

The main role was played by the traitor. If there was no traitor, it would be impossible to rescue the prisoner under such strict supervision.

Lin Feng sighed, his words really came true.

We were still discussing the issue of traitors yesterday, and subconsciously, I felt that such a problem would arise.

Even if we can think of it, we still can't prevent it.

The main reason was that Lin Feng was dragged in by several second-generation officials.

The opponent calculated that these characters would divert his attention.

Back at the command center, Xie Zhong and others also came back.

Sure enough, I lost him.

That guy was too cunning and had great skills, so these guards really couldn't do anything to him.

Just as I took a sip of water, a soldier brought me the autopsy results.

Lin Feng took a look, then stood up and walked out.

Bai Jing quickly asked: "Brother, where are you going again?"

"This coroner is unreliable. He actually believes the man committed suicide by hanging. This is nonsense."

"You want to do an autopsy?"

Lin Feng walked while shaking his head and sighing.

"Oh, talents, I need all kinds of talents."

Behind the workshop is where the craftsmen live.

Qu Qiuguo's body had been wrapped in a straw mat.

He had no family, was over fifty years old, and had made his living by forging iron all his life.

The two disciples stayed beside the corpse to keep vigil.

After Lin Feng came in, he asked someone to open the straw mat and carefully looked at the neck of the corpse.

There was a circle of black and purple marks there.

Lin Feng only took one look and knew that the man was strangled to death, not hanged himself.

Because the circle of marks is located between the larynx, not above the larynx, where it is slanted upwards.

Lin Feng asked the coroner to pry open the mouth of the corpse and took a closer look with a candle.

He remembered reading in a book in his previous life that when a person hangs himself, the rope is tied at an upward position, near the upper back, which presses the tongue root and soft palate together.

If someone is strangled to death, the marks on the neck are low, the airway is incompletely blocked, and there is a gap between the root of the tongue and the soft palate.

Combining the body marks at the two locations, Lin Feng concluded that Qu Qiuguo was strangled to death and then hung from the beam.

The soldiers who searched the deceased's residence also reported back.

Four ingots of gold, totaling two hundred taels, were found in a hole in the wall of Qu Qiuguo's residence.

This is a huge sum of money. It is impossible for a craftsman to save so much gold by buying houses and land.
