Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 205: Horseshoe Prints That Do Not Exist in This Era

Zeng Tai led him to the carriage and lifted the curtain, only to see an eagle pattern painted in blood inside.

"Bleeding eagle?" Li Yuanfang asked in surprise, "The intelligence said that there were dozens of murders in Jiannan Road and Longyou Road, and there were bleeding eagle patterns at the crime scenes!"

"It seems that most of the recent murders can be linked together. So, let's take a look at other clues at the scene."

Li Cunxi turned around and saw Wu Yanhao and Hu Jinghui standing in front of two huge horseshoe prints.

Those two huge horseshoe prints were obviously the same row of huge horseshoe prints in the forest when Gao Lan was killed.

"It seems that we have a new clue. The cases in Longyou Road, Jiannan Road, Gao Lan's murder, and today's case were all committed by the same group of people."

Hu Jinghui said as he walked towards the path beside the road.

"This body here finally fell in front of this monument. Why did he come here? Was he trying to avoid being hunted down?"

Everyone was silent, checking for clues as they walked.

"The two victims were centenarians born in the pre-Sui Dynasty. They were involved in a series of bloody eagle cases. The victims' heads and left arms were cut off. Is there something strange going on here... Are ghosts seeking revenge?"

Li Yuanfang's eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball.

"It seems that the clues we have now are just this little bit. As for whether the horseshoe prints are from a monster, it is hard to say for the time being. We will know when He Yun, the Flying Dragon Envoy, comes over." Li Cunxi returned to the roadside, jumped on his horse, and said, "Let's go back to the inn to rest."

……

into the night.

You Huan came with the Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun. The two found the people who were drinking tea and pushed the door open.

"Lord Li, Lord Wu, two generals, here comes the Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun."

You Huan and He Yun walked in and clasped their fists towards Li Cunxi.

"Sorry to trouble you, Youhuan Pavilion Leader, I wonder if you have done what I asked you to do to say hello to Princess Taiping on my behalf?"

Li Cunxi put down the book in his hand and asked seriously.

"Yes." You Huan said.

"What was Princess Taiping's reaction?"

"As soon as I finished speaking, the princess's face turned as black as charcoal."

"It's really difficult for you, Lord. Please take a seat." Li Cunxi stood up and walked to He Yun. "This must be the Flying Dragon Envoy, right? I heard that you are in charge of the stables and are a first-class expert in horse selection. You have seen countless horses, so I invited you here."

"Lord Li is an important official in the court. If you have any request, I will certainly come to help." He Yun said politely.

"Why are your legs shaking?"

Li Cunxi came over with a smile, his eyes filled with a suffocating weird look.

He Yun took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, let's talk business first."

He didn't even sit down, but immediately took out the horseshoe print he had made.

Those horseshoe prints were exactly the ones in the mountains and on the pipelines, which He Yun was most familiar with.

"This hoof print was definitely left by a horse, not some other monster."

Li Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a monster.

"Then what?" Li Yuanfang asked impatiently.

"The pattern on the horseshoe was used exclusively by Emperor Yang of Sui's brave army. As early as during the reign of Emperor Taizong, the emperor had issued a clear order prohibiting the forging and use of horseshoes. Anyone who forged and used horseshoes privately would be guilty of treason and would be punished according to the law of high treason."

He Yun wiped his sweat while explaining, always having a terrible feeling of being seen through.

"Moreover, horseshoes are not durable products and need to be replaced regularly. Under normal circumstances, horseshoes from the Sui Dynasty cannot be used until now, and the molds for the horseshoes have long been lost. Now that I see this, I am also puzzled, my lords!"

"Moreover, a horse with this kind of hoof pattern is definitely not available today. I have checked the horse genealogy and found that this horse is the Ferghana horse. The Ferghana horse is strong and huge, but this horse became extinct during the Later Han Dynasty."

After He Yun finished speaking, he stood aside acting as a mute.

Beside him, Li Cunxi was still looking at him with an expression of watching a good show. That look was really strange, and he had no idea how to deal with this strange Li Cunxi.

It was clearly the first time for both of them to meet, but the feeling this young man gave him was really... weird.

"The Ferghana horses of the Later Han Dynasty and the hoof flowers of the brave soldiers of the Former Sui Dynasty."

Everyone was murmuring, wondering how these two objects had traveled through time to appear in the present Great Zhou.

Just then, a man suddenly broke in from outside. He pushed the door open and shouted in panic.

“Cunxi, Cunxi!”

The person who came was Zeng Tai. He was shouting as if he was frightened.

"what happened?"

Li Cunxi grabbed Zeng Tai.

"Something serious has happened!"

Zeng Tai was panicked and confused.

"Speak slowly."

"It's like this. After I returned to the county government, I started to inquire about the location of Jiangjiazhuang..."

……

Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

Princess Taiping walked in the main hall with a sinister expression. There was a dead body lying on the ground. It was one of her male lovers.

Several servants crawled over, dragged the male lover's body away tremblingly, and buried it under the flower bed in the backyard as fertilizer.

It was not until the moon rose above the willows that a figure leisurely appeared in the open space outside the main hall. Although the man was old, he was contented. It seemed that he could not smell the bloody smell in the main hall at all. Instead, he came in with a smile and hugged Princess Taiping in his arms.

"Tell me, what happened?" Xuguzi said, his hands unconsciously touching up and down.

"Master Taoist, that damn Li Cunxi actually dared to send the leader of the Inner Guard Palace, You Huan, to come and say hello to me. If I can't kill him, I will feel uncomfortable!" Princess Taiping said gritting her teeth.

"Even if you kill him, you won't feel comfortable because he is the case handling minister. If you kill him personally, it will prove that you are the one who did all the recent cases. That's why you would kill the case handling minister yourself. Only a murderer would think of killing the case handling minister."

"But I can't stand this tone. Li Cunxi is just a bastard who was born by a mother but not raised by one. What qualifications does he have to challenge me here? Just because he is a loyal minister in the eyes of His Majesty? Bullshit!"

"But he is indeed a loyal minister now. Only loyal ministers would think about helping His Majesty solve problems, right? You don't have to personally take action against Li Cunxi. The Iron Hand Group will find a way to get rid of Li Cunxi."

"But until now, the Iron Hand Group has not taken any action, Li Cunxi is still alive, and our action has already begun, Taoist Xuguzi." Princess Taiping frowned, "If Li Cunxi finds clues within just a few days, what should we do?"

"Really?" Xuguzi found it funny. "I remember a few days ago, you told me that Li Cunxi was just a waste. Why are you so panicked now?"

"I just looked down on him verbally before, but in reality, I still have to take him seriously." Princess Taiping said, "Please tell the Iron Hand Group that I need them to act quickly."
