Chapter 467 A huge shadow
“What?!”
Shang Ruyi was shocked. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Yu Wensuo on the side frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He just walked over and looked at them silently. Wuxue said in panic: "Master Yin asked Song Yu to be locked up in a wing in front. There were additional guards outside, but when he was just delivering food to him, he was found dead."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's face darkened and she immediately said: "Let's go!"
Ignoring anything else, she stood up and hurried out with Wuxue.
When they came to the door of the room that was temporarily used to imprison Song Yu, Yin Changyue, Dai Junliang and others arrived. A group of people surrounded the room, and the person who fell in the pool of blood in the center of the house was It's Song Yu's body.
A short knife was inserted into his chest, and blood stained most of his body red.
Looking at the man who was still alive just now, stiff-necked and arguing with Shang Ruyi, who was now dying of anger, everyone showed different expressions, including anger, regret, and a little bit of helplessness and panic. .
What's more, there are doubts.
Song Yu died like that.
Did he commit suicide out of fear of crime, or——
Shang Ruyi said nothing, only pursed his somewhat pale lips, and looked down at the corpse. Song Yu’s eyes were blood red and bulging. , with a ferocious and frightened face, and even a somewhat unwilling expression, as if something extremely terrible had happened before he died.
Faced with such filaments, even if the sun was shining brightly, even Shang Ruyi, who had just experienced the most brutal battle on the battlefield, couldn't help but gasp.
But she wasn't afraid.
But angry.
Not only her, but even Wuxue who had followed her frowned, her pretty little face full of uncontrollable anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "How could it be like this? "
"..."
No one answered her.
In fact, everyone felt the same when they saw this scene.
Yin Changyue and Dai Junliang on the side were even more pale, and their moods were extremely depressed.
You must know that this time there was an incident of murdering imperial officials in the army. As a supervisor, Yin Changyue must be held accountable when he returns to Daxing. He had been with Xini several times before, hoping to suppress the matter. Go down, it's okay for you Staying out of the matter; who knows, the general's wife refuses to give up, and after collecting all the evidence, he can only help clarify the case. At least he has done an errand and has an explanation; who knows, the case has just been clarified, and the suspect... dead.
This time, even if the Fufeng war was a complete victory, it would be difficult for him to return to the court.
Dai Junliang is also worried about the same.
The two were silent for a long time, and Dai Junliang finally said softly: "Madam, we just came here, and there is only Song Yu's body in the room. And -"
"What?"
" The window is open."
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked up and found that the window on the other side was indeed ajar. However, since this room is where the suspect is detained, the window must be sealed. .
Shang Ruyi frowned: "Why didn't you seal the window?"
A guard immediately said: "Madam, the window was originally sealed, but when we just checked, we found that there were signs of being pried open with a dagger on the outside. Moreover, there were several footprints left on the window sill. I think someone must have passed through. The window entered this room."
"..."
Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi fell silent.
After a long time, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "So, Song Yu did not commit suicide."
As soon as she said these words, the room became even quieter.
Song Yu did not commit suicide.
In fact, when everyone saw his ferocious and frightened expression before his death, they already had such speculation in their hearts, and at this moment, they understood it even more.
He was killed.
Just——
Dai Junliang thought for a while, then turned to look at the guards at the door, and asked: "You guys were standing outside, did you hear anything going on inside? ?”
Several guards looked at each other and shook their heads.
One of the leaders said: "After Master Song came in, he kept yelling and scolding us and threatened us. The little people obeyed the orders of Master Dai and Master Yin and ignored him. After Master Song made a noise for a while, , also quieted down, we just thought he was tired of scolding, but unexpectedly it was——"
"Didn't you hear any sound?"
"No."
Hearing their words, Dai Junliang couldn't help but frowned and murmured: "If it is true Someone broke in and killed him. With Mr. Song’s skills, could the other party really make him unable to make a sound?”
For a while, everyone fell silent again.
After thinking for a moment, I heard Shang Ruyi say softly: "So, it was not just one person who did it."
"...!?"
Everyone immediately turned around Looking at her, Yin Changyue opened his eyes in astonishment: "Madam, what you mean is -"
Shang Ruyi said: "At least two people took action."
"..."
"Only in this way can we restrain Song Yu and kill him without making him make any sound or alerting the guards outside."
< br>"...""As for the person who took action——"< br>
Dai Junliang thought for a while and immediately said: "The official office is heavily guarded and it is impossible for outsiders to enter and exit at will. And this is the backyard. If something like this happened again, I have already ordered strict More guards.”
"..."
"There are only a few of us and the people following us in the backyard."
"..."
"But none of these people "Left."
Just when everyone was confused, Shang Ruyi looked around and suddenly said: "Just now, where were the two guards beside Song Yu?"
"...!?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment.
But someone immediately realized that what she was talking about was the two guards who looked a little slow or even incompetent when a group of them "trialed" Song Yu in the council hall just now.
Yin Changyue said in shock: "I, after I had people imprison Song Yu, I asked them to retreat."
Because they were not involved in the murder of the general, so , were not imprisoned together. When their master was imprisoned, they were naturally drunk away.
At this time, Dai Junhao seemed to understand something, and immediately ordered the guards behind him: "Go, find it quickly!"
Several guards took the order and hurriedly ran down.
At this time, it was already past noon, and the sun above our heads was like a burning fireball, baking the ground red. The room was as hot as a furnace, but all the people standing inside felt They all felt an inexplicable chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, as if there was a little ominous premonition spreading silently.
After a while, several guards ran back.
Dai Junliang immediately asked: "How?"
The guard panted and said: "Sir, those two people are missing."
"What?"
"We went to ask, and the people below said they didn't see them. We Searched the entire government office, even the military camp, but found nothing. I saw their traces."
When Dai Junliang heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He thought for a while and immediately said: "Hurry up and send people to search. We must find these two people!"
“Yes!”
Those people immediately ran off again.
There was another commotion all around, but Shang Ruyi stood aside with a strange coldness on her body. Although she had not gotten the final result yet, she could almost foresee what the final result would be.
Those two people should never be found.
At this moment, she turned to look at Song Yu's body again. Even if it was covered by white cloth, the twisted and ferocious outline of his face before death was still revealed. At this time, Shang Ruyi finally figured it out. One thing -
No wonder he died in such a panic.
Apparently even he didn't expect that the two guards, who he thought were slow and incompetent, would suddenly become so agile and quick to break into the room where he was being held.
But, they are not here to save him, but to kill him.
Even - Shang Ruyi realized at this time that the two guards were not so slow and incompetent.
The dull and incompetent look they had just now was probably just an act.
Thinking about it, they had already seen that Shang Ruyi had enough evidence to testify against Song Yu. Even if he was temporarily rescued at that time, he would not be able to escape the fate of being tried by the court after returning to Daxing City. If In that case, I'm afraid more people and things will be implicated.
Therefore, their indolence and incompetence at that time was actually a kind of giving up, allowing Shang Ruyi and others to judge him and imprison him.
Similarly, let them relax their vigilance.
After they thought everything was under control and imprisoned Song Yu, these two men appeared again and killed him. In this way, the case of murdering the general could only end here!
From this point of view, the two seemingly slow and incompetent guards are not Song Yu's people. In other words, they appear to be Song Yu's people, but in fact, there is another person behind them. Bigger characters.
That is what Shang Ruyi wanted to ask from Song Yu, the person who instigated him.
This person has been hiding behind the scenes from the beginning. During the Fufeng battle, he has always been shrouded in the huge shadow cast by this person - the medicinal materials were plundered, Yu Wenye fell ill, Song Yu set fire to harm, and just now, they just asked Song Yu It turned out that he died before the whole matter came to light.
At this time, being killed quietly——
It is silence!
Just thinking about this, Shang Ruyi clenched his fists, and his slender finger bones turned white, but an infuriating feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body.
After all, she was a step too slow.
If I had persisted for just a moment longer, I might have been able to get this person out of Song Yu's mouth.
But——
At this moment, a tall, dark shadow appeared from behind, covering up the blazing sunlight outside, shrouding Shang Ruyi there. Under the shadow.
Shang Ruyi suddenly felt his breath suffocating.
She slowly turned around, and when she raised her head, she faced a person who was under the shadow of the sun, but it looked particularly bright and calm, as if she was outside all the blood and stains, so peaceful that it was not stained at all. Mortal eyes.
It's Yu Wenzei.
His eyes were clear and his expression was calm, and he said: "Has the matter been dealt with?"
