Chapter 262 The Clever Murong Minglang
but……
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He only needed to tell what he saw, and he believed that his grandfather would not say anything to him.
So he walked from behind the wheelchair to Murong Zhengqi, obediently bowed, and said, "Grandpa, I did check it, but the check may have been rather rough. I hope you won't laugh at me for saying that."
"No, tell me."
"Yeah, Grandpa."
He then walked to the nearest corpse and began to analyze it.
“First, I found the scratches and bite marks that Tang Yuan mentioned on this corpse. If I’m not mistaken, the scratches were made by fingernails. As for the bite marks, most of them are on the neck, and most of them have four blood holes. I think they were made by teeth, like these.” Murong Minglang picked up a blood-stained tooth from somewhere. It must have been cut off at the root by the guards. He wrapped the tooth in a handkerchief and handed it to Murong Zhengqi so that he could examine it.
"Secondly, I also found a second weapon on the wall. The weapons used by the guards of our Duke's Mansion are all standard curved swords. As for Mu Da, he uses a sword, as does Father. But there is a third weapon on this wall. It's not that the murderer didn't use a sword, but that this sword is different from the one used by Father and Mu Da. This sword should be a heavy sword, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for the entire wall to crack."
"Finally, I noticed something else, and that is... the fabric..."
"Cloth?"
Upon hearing about this observation point, Tang Yue raised her head.
Murong Minglang glanced at Tang Yue and continued, "Yes, fabric."
"I discovered that besides the guards' clothes, there was a second type of fabric at the scene. This fabric was very rough, probably worn by the lowest-class commoners. So, I suspect that the murderer is a human, but I don't know why they would have such long fangs and fingernails."
After saying this, Tang Yue clearly saw the satisfaction in Murong Zhengqi's eyes. Of course he was satisfied. Murong Minglang was only a few years old, yet he could examine the corpse without changing his expression... well... anyway, he examined the corpse without changing his expression, and even analyzed it step by step. This kind of child is simply every parent's precious treasure.
As expected, the moment Murong Minglang finished speaking, the extremely serious Duke raised his thick white eyebrows and praised, "Not bad. To be able to make such an analysis on the first time you've encountered such a situation, Xiao Lang has indeed grown a lot."
Murong Minglang was praised, but he was not arrogant. Instead, he lowered his eyes and said humbly, "No, Grandpa, there are still many things I haven't observed. I need Grandpa's guidance."
"Okay, Grandpa will teach you again today. Come here and stand next to me."
"Mu Er, tell me the results of your examination."
"Yes, sir."
Mu Er began his analysis using the body that Murong Minglang had used.
“Master, the young master’s analysis is correct. Indeed, every dead guard has scratches and bite marks. In addition, I also found that almost every wound on the guards’ bodies has black marks. This means that the murderer who attacked them had poison on his fingernails and teeth, and it was a highly toxic one.”
"Oh, how was this discovered?"
"Reporting to your master, there are a total of twenty-five corpses here. Eight of them suffered injuries that were not enough to kill them, but they were definitely not breathing. I have also examined other parts of their bodies and found no weapon damage. Therefore, I suspect they died from poisoning."
"Hmm, Xiao Lang, go and see if what your Uncle Mu said is right."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Murong Minglang walked over, squatted down, and carefully examined each wound as Mu Er had instructed. Indeed, there were black marks.
“Grandpa, Uncle Mu is right, there are black marks.”
“Hmm,” Murong Zhengqi nodded, “Second Mu, please continue.”
"Yes, sir."
Mu Er continued, "I just compared the footprints and I found that there should be a woman among the murderers, because some of the murderers' footprints are very small, only a little larger than a palm. I also found that they should all be very strong. Judging from the extent of the injuries of the guards, there are at least ten corpses inside. Their chests, leg bones, and shoulders have all suffered different degrees of impact, otherwise their bones would not have been shattered into pieces."
Mu Er said that he would verify every discovery Murong Minglang made. He found that Mu Er was indeed right. He was indeed his father's capable assistant. He still had a lot to learn in the future.
"Hmm, any other discoveries?"
"That's all, sir."
"The murderer cleaned up the scene very thoroughly. Except for Mu Da, all of our men were wiped out. Not even one of them was left. Therefore, the other party's combat strength should be much higher than ours. There should only be a few people who can field such a force and also have a grudge against us."
Murong Zhengqi knew who Mu Er was talking about. After all, there were only a few officials who had openly opposed them in the court recently, and their leader was only one person: the current Grand Secretary—Lin Fang!
Although Lin Fang is currently the suspect, they have no evidence to prove that Lin Fang and his men killed their guards and kidnapped Murong Bai. Lin Fang is currently favored by the emperor, and if they openly lead a search, they will ultimately be the ones punished.
Although they were unwilling to admit that the current emperor was incompetent, they dared not gamble with the future of the Duke's mansion at this moment.
Although he didn't know why Lin Fang chose to make his move at this time, he thought that Lin Fang must have made thorough preparations.
Murong Zhengqi's mind was racing, but the matter at hand had to be dealt with first: "Hmm, I understand. Send the bodies of these guards to their homes and give them more compensation."
"Yes, sir."
“Okay, leave some people to deal with the bodies, the rest of you come back to the manor with me.”
He needed to go back and sort out what had happened recently, and then see which link had pushed Lin Fang to the brink, making him dare to take such action. Moreover... Murong Zhengqi secretly glanced at Tang Yue, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end.
He was still wondering if the Prime Minister's residence really was keeping a group of inhuman and ghostly creatures.
At this time, the Prime Minister's residence
Murong Bai was bound hand and foot and thrown into the dungeon. Around him were not the monsters, but ordinary people covered in wounds.
He was not attacked by the monsters, but he was seriously injured by a sword strike from Han Cheng, the top expert under Lin Fang.
The penetrating injury in his shoulder kept him on edge, never daring to relax for a moment.
"Are there new people here again?"
Suddenly, the prisoner in the next cell spoke.
