In modern times, she spent two years in the surgical clinic. She was familiar with such a wound. The wound was small but deep. The person who hurt her father could stab this fatal knife unexpectedly. I think it was premeditated for a long time.
The arrow she saw with her own eyes just now was just a target to cover up the fatal wound. Everyone saw with their own eyes that the Duke was killed by the arrow inserted into his heart and lungs, but they didn't know that the real fatal was the knife in his back and heart.
If it weren't for ye Chao, I'm afraid she couldn't even figure out the real cause of Guogong's death.
It was too dark at that time, and she was scared to lose half her life by the arrow. She didn't see who was standing behind the Duke at that time. At present, only one thing is certain that this person must be very familiar and trusted by her father.
Suddenly, Yan Qiqi felt like there was a basin of cold water, pouring it from head to foot, which was cool through her heart. She felt like she was trapped in a huge conspiracy. Her fingertips were cold, her limbs trembled, and she couldn't stand at all.
Not only him, but also ye Chao's face was as pale as paper. They looked at each other and saw fear from each other's eyes.
Who is it that tried so hard to kill the Marquis? Murdering the general of the state of Yan is a great crime to kill the nine families!
This man killed people and pretended to be nothing. His psychological quality simply exceeded the limit of ordinary people. Maybe he was hidden in this group of people.
Just want to make people feel cold all over.
At this time, Yan Qiqi couldn't believe anyone. Ye Chao seemed to see through her idea and hurriedly explained, "princess, you believe me, my subordinates didn't harm the Duke. My subordinates found it by accident..."
Yan Qiqi swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva and forced herself to calm down. She temporarily believed ye Chao's words. First, ye Chao had no motive for committing the crime. Second, he had no time. Third, if he found the wound, he would try every means to cover it up instead of letting her see it, so she would rather gamble and believe Ye Chao.
"I know it's not you. From the wound point of view, it's a dagger that cuts iron like mud. It's about nine inches long. The blade is sharp and there are blood grooves in the blade body, so it's very smooth to pull it out. There are serrations on the blade back and incomplete scratches on the skin of my father's back. You are good at using your right hand when playing with knives and swords, and the man who killed the Marquis is is is a left-handed!"
Ye Chao breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the princess thought he had killed the marquis. After he cleared his grievances, the whole person became more energetic and diligent. He asked, "how can the princess judge that the murderer is left-handed?"
"Look at the deep and shallow direction of the wound. The traces pulled out of the upper part are very heavy. You can try it. The insertion force of holding the knife with your right hand is stable from beginning to end. Only left-handed people subconsciously lift up when pulling out the knife."
"Moreover, he must not use this dagger often. He won't carry the murder weapon with him“
Ye Chao frowned. "Just now I heard your description. I know what this murder weapon looks like. It's the dagger that the Duke of the state carries with him." Yan Qiqi was shocked when he heard the speech. He seemed not to believe it. "You said, this is the dagger commonly used by my father in the past?"
It's not surprising that she was so surprised. Duke Cheng has been famous for a long time and uses a long weapon. This weapon can defend himself near and kill the enemy far. The Duke was very worried about this weapon. At that time, when he was in the state of Yan, his father would wipe it carefully every day, but she had never seen his father and a commonly used dagger.
As if he knew what she was wondering, ye Chao patiently explained, "the princess doesn't know. Sometimes we will be stationed in the wild when marching and fighting. We can use weapons in marching and fighting, but if we kill a prey or something, we won't be able to use weapons again, so we will have a dagger with us in case of need."
i see.
Yan Qiqi stared at the wound on Cheng Guogong's back and fell into meditation. His father was stabbed to death by his own personal dagger. I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Her eyes gradually dimmed and whispered to Ye Chao, "now everyone else is busy cleaning up in the backyard. Go quietly to the front yard to see if you can find your father's dagger."
Ye Chao knew Yan Qiqi's idea. Without saying a word, he nodded cautiously, "I understand."
In fact, Yan Qiqi is just gambling. The person who killed her father still has no peace of mind. The psychological defense line has reached the limit. In addition, many subordinates know his father's commonly used dagger before his death, and he dare not hide the murder weapon, so he will lose it after it is completed. Of course, this is what she speculates from the perspective of psychology.
If ordinary people want to kill someone, they will confirm whether the person is dead. He found out that the Hou Ye's back heart came to this fatal knife. Those with excellent psychological quality will make another knife just in case.
But the murderer didn't. So it seems that he just had the advantage behind the marquis. In fact, he was afraid to die. He didn't dare to stab again. Naturally, he didn't have the courage to hide the murder weapon.
After a while, ye Chao came back. As expected, he was holding the murder weapon in his hand.
When ye Chao handed it to Yan Qiqi, his gums were about to break. "If I know which bastard killed the Lord, I will break him into pieces!"
"My father left in a hurry. He didn't have time to say anything. Ye Chao, tell me honestly, why are you here for no reason?"
This is a place where Yan Qiqi can't figure it out. His father has a great reputation. The border of Yan is guarded by the general Ming muyuan. Ming muyuan was a subordinate of the Marquis at the beginning, and he was a capable cadre promoted by him. If the Marquis wants to stay at the border for a few nights, it's no problem. Why should my father go the opposite way and live in this dilapidated Inn with his soldiers? "
Ye Chao was also embarrassed. Yan Qiqi felt that things were not simple.
"There is no one else here. If you don't say it, I will naturally find others to ask. Can you block everyone's mouth?" Yan Qiqi was worried. Her father died in front of her, but she couldn't do anything. She had to strip the cocoon and find out the source first.
Ye Chao, who has a lot of young heads around the Marquis, has also seen the power of the princess. Almost all of the Marquis's only doting in his life is devoted to her. In addition, he has four brothers. Compared with when he was a child, the princess is really a little more heroic and valiant, quite a little more like a duke.
