Chapter 83
After listening to Liu Jin's analysis, Wang Kang was a little shocked. The sudden assassin seemed to be from the army, which was a bit intriguing.
"Is it possible that it was stolen?" Wang Kang asked again.
"Yes, but the probability is very low!" Liu Jin said: "It is not easy to make this kind of three-link crossbow. Only a specialized crossbow team in the army can assemble it. Each one is registered and rarely lost."
"Go and look at that man. Since he is from the army, he naturally has the characteristics of a soldier." Wang Kang said.
It was also a bit regretful that if he was still alive, he would be able to directly decipher and find out his identity.
But in that emergency situation, he would be the one in danger if he didn't kill him directly.
Wang Kang thought, and when he came to this man, he prepared a corpse.
Whether it was his previous life or this life, this was the first time Wang Kang saw a dead body.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid, but he knew he had to face it, and this incident also sounded a wake-up call for him.
Struggle is always bloody, especially in such an era, he must adapt as soon as possible.
Wang Kang suppressed his physical discomfort and squatted down in front of the corpse.
There were torches held high all around, illuminating the place brightly. Even under the light of the fire, the assassin's face was still pale, without any blood.
He was not very old, and his eyes were still wide open at this moment, and he could see the shock in them. I am afraid that before he died, he never thought that he would be killed by a hosta.
The hosta was still stuck on his forehead, and there was blood oozing around it, but not much.
The flesh at the wound was turned outwards, and Wang Kang instinctively felt that his stomach was churning, as if something was about to be vomited out.
Wang Kang gritted his teeth and endured, knowing that this was a step he had to go through.
Li Qingman looked at Wang Kang in astonishment. From his expression, it was obvious that this was Wang Kang's first time seeing a corpse.
Yes, how could a rich young man like him come into contact with these...
But she discovered that Wang Kangzhi had been extremely calm and clear-minded until he was assassinated. In order to find out the identity of the assassin, he even came to examine the body himself.
This made Li Qingman somewhat admired.
The prodigal son that’s been rumored out there? How ridiculous!
Suddenly, Li Qingman noticed that Liu Jin was looking at her blankly. To be precise, he was looking at her hair. The hair that was originally bound by hairpins had now spread out and her long hair was hanging loose.
He found it!
Li Qingman knew that Liu Jin must have known that the hairpin that stabbed the assassin to death was hers. This is a very easy reasoning.
"Miss Li..." Liu Jin said.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Wang Kang said at this time without raising his head.
"Yes!" Liu Jin nodded. Originally, he had a strong opinion of Li Qingman. In his opinion, if the young master had not been obsessed with beauty, he would not have stopped him or allowed him to follow.
Now it seems that this popular oiran in Yangzhou is no ordinary person. He personally inspected the bodies of the two assassins, so he naturally knows why they died...
Wang Kang naturally didn't know what Liu Jin was thinking, as he had already picked up the assassin's hand.
It was cold, chilly, without a trace of warmth! It even made Wang Kang shiver.
But Wang Kang didn't seem to care. He looked carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He found that there was a thick layer of calluses on the tips of the index finger and middle finger of the assassin's right hand.
He fumbled with his fingers, and the touch was obvious.
Wang Kang closed his eyes, imagining how to use the three-link crossbow.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and from this, the identity of this person could be confirmed.
He stood up and said: "I'm not sure yet whether this assassin is from the military, but one thing is certain, he must often use this kind of machine-locked crossbow!"
"Why do you say that?" Liu Jin asked doubtfully.
"Look at his index finger and middle finger. There are calluses on the fingertips. This doesn't happen overnight. It only happens when the button is pressed frequently!" Wang Kang said.
Hearing this, Liu Jin hurriedly squatted down to check, and then looked at Wang Kang in surprise. He had also checked this body before, but this was an oversight.
But my young master discovered this subtlety.
Is this still the prodigal young master? Liu Jin couldn't help but think.
Wang Kang naturally didn't know what Liu Jin was thinking, and said again: "According to your statement, it is now basically certain that this assassin is from the army!"
"The only regular army in Yangzhou City is the garrison, led by General Zhao Boguang." Liu Jin wondered: "General Zhao has a pretty good relationship with the Earl. He shouldn't be sent to assassinate you. There is no reason at all!"
"There is a misunderstanding in your thinking," Wang Kang looked at the corpse on the ground and said coldly: "Of course the only one who controls the army is General Zhao, but there are still people who can command a few soldiers!"
"You mean?" Liu Jin's face was full of shock.
"The governor Dong Yiwu!" Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that the governor is the highest official in a state. He controls the people's livelihood, the administration of officials, and can control the army!"
"This shouldn't be the case. As far as I know, Dong Yiwu is in Xinfeng County with the Earl. Besides, what benefit would it bring to him to assassinate you? Although he is in the same situation as our Earl's Mansion, it will not reach this point. This is already
It’s breaking the rules!”
"It's totally unworthy. He should understand the consequences of assassinating you..." Liu Jin said again.
"He won't, but the people below him may not!" Wang Kang sneered, and a face appeared in his mind.
"I already have some confidence in my heart, but I still need to confirm it," Wang Kang ordered: "Ask the private soldiers from the mansion to come over as soon as possible and make the scene bigger for me. The bigger the better!"
"In this case, some people should be anxious!"
"Yes!" Liu Jin responded.
"Then where are you going? You must have been frightened by the assassination. Why don't we send you back home first and wait until daybreak to make plans. Leave the rest to us."
Liu Jin asked again.
"I'm going to meet a person. Once I meet him, everything will become clear to me!" Wang Kang said calmly.
"Then you must take me with you this time," Liu Jin said hurriedly.
"If you can't do it, you still have to arrange things here. Only you know best, just send me a team of people." Wang Kang said.
"But?"
"I'm following him, don't worry!" Li Qingman suddenly said at this time.
"Then...okay!" Liu Jin no longer insisted.
"It's just that I can't wear this hosta anymore!" Li Qingman looked at the hosta that was still stuck on the assassin's forehead with regret.
This hosta was given to her by Wang Kang and was worn by her himself, which she liked very much.
"I'll give you a better one."
Wang Kang knew what Li Qingman was thinking and said with a smile.
"This is what you said!"
"Well, it must look better than this!" Wang Kang nodded solemnly.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jin was a little dumbfounded. Is it really okay to flirt on this occasion?
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a thunder in the distant sky, the sky became even gloomier, and even the moon was obscured by dark clouds...
Looking at the dark night, Wang Kang sighed, it was such a long night!
