Chapter 134 Investigation (Part )
The man who wanted to escape, the sneak attacker who wasted Qi Yanchuan's arrow and Shen Ying's flare, died.
Someone pierced his neck with a sharp weapon.
It looked like just a piece of tree branch, not like a sharp carved hairpin.
Because the puncture targeted the aorta, the blood spurted out quite widely.
Qi Yanchuan has played the role of an icy forensic doctor, so he first checked the deceased's fingernails. Before he died, he tried to touch his neck and rolled on the ground several times.
"It's difficult to catch the criminal. He left no traces."
Qi Yanchuan asked a few night patrol soldiers who were closest to him at the time, but didn't get any useful results. However, judging from the scene of death, there were traces of destruction, and it seemed that it was done at close range. There were also... bloody footprints on the ground?
Shen Ying took advantage of the residual light of the flare to examine the people around her.
But, I couldn't see anything.
Firstly, the light could not illuminate every part of every body, and secondly, it was very late, and it was possible that the man had escaped in the chaos.
She had a few words with Qi Yanchuan, and the result was that she couldn't let this matter go just like that.
Qi Yanchuan shouted for everyone to sit down, and those who did not sit down would be considered attackers and killed on the spot!
As Shen Ying took a few quick steps and threw out the powder in her hand, a man was seen wailing on the ground with his face in his hands. Qi Yanchuan shouted for the second time that anyone who did not sit down immediately would be killed without mercy, starting from now on!
Thump thump thump.
In an instant, countless people fell to the ground, even several patrolmen sat down on the ground.
Soon, only Shen Ying and Qi Yanchuan were left standing.
Dunzi came out of the room and thought that these people were kneeling to his two masters, so he knelt down too.
Because they were facing away from Dunzi, the two men didn't see his silly behavior. They had other important things to do.
Qi Yanchuan organized his words and simply said that the camp was attacked at night and that the accomplices were killed in full view of everyone.
In order to investigate, we have to work hard: "In order to prevent such people from staying in the camp, no matter how hard and troublesome it is, we must find them and catch them all. Otherwise, you are in danger of being killed at any time. How can you live and serve the people in the future?"
There was a lot of noise below, and it took several shouts before it quieted down, because Qi Yanchuan raised his crossbow and said, "During this extraordinary period, for the safety of the majority, I can only cut the Gordian knot and conduct a comprehensive inspection.
During the inspection, all disruptive acts will be regarded as accomplices of the thieves and will be directly eliminated. First, I will check the people who are on guard today."
The night watchmen were called over, and Shen Ying went to Qi Yanchuan's room. When she came out, she had two more lamps in her hands.
Once the huge searchlight was turned on, the light instantly made everything visible.
Everyone was shocked.
"This is something I found by chance overseas. It is a deep-sea pearl. I ground precious fish scales into powder and mixed it with seaweed juice and soaked it in water for 49 days to make a daylight magic lamp.
As you can see, the light level is quite strong, but don’t stare at the beads, as you may go blind if you stare at them for too long.”
Everyone quickly avoided the sight.
But I couldn't help sighing in my heart. How could there be such a bright light in the world? Even if it was a night-shining pearl, it could emit such a strong light so far at night. Isn't it a little too scary?
"It should have been used on the night battlefield. Unfortunately, it was used to catch bandits. So, I hope everyone will not waste my daylight lamp and cooperate well."
The inspection began with a few night patrol soldiers, who were called into the room one by one.
They also came out one by one.
The hands were tied with silk threads of different colors and tied into knots.
At first, Shen Ying did this, and later Dunzi came to tie the knot.
When Shen Ying came out with the lantern just now, she also took an ultraviolet flashlight with her. She could see the problem of residual blood stains with just a glance.
Anyone who tells everyone that he has blood on his hands will be listed as a suspect, but everyone still has the opportunity to prove himself. If you are found with blood, do not run away in a hurry, otherwise you will be mistaken for a thief and it will not be worth it.
Someone in the crowd silently took a few steps back and looked at his hands in the light.
"Come with me to those rooms and bring out everyone who is still in the room." Shen Ying said, holding a lamp, and went directly to the farthest room, followed by the others.
Throughout the whole process, Shen Ying was very alert, no matter if it was someone who might jump out of the room or the people behind her who had already been checked.
The process was uneventful. After sweeping through several large dormitories, Shen Ying and the night patrolmen drove out all the people in the rooms.
Because the light was so strong, comparable to the light in the day, no one could escape any small movement. They found a sneaky person in the room and dragged him out.
After the rooms were swept, Shen Ying asked several night patrolmen to hold torches and stand guard behind the houses to prevent anyone who had just escaped from trying to sneak in.
Everyone was very close to each other and holding torches, so if just one person was attacked, it would definitely be discovered.
After that came the few people who were unable to walk and were dependent on the camp for support. They also passed the inspection and were found to have no problems, so they were arranged to the first room.
"Now it's the turn of all of you who are sitting down, future soldiers. Only those whose names are called can stand up and come over for inspection. If you want to do something tricky." Shen Ying took over Qi Yanchuan's crossbow and shot an arrow at a pillar not far away.
He demonstrated his archery skills to everyone sitting there, which were not inferior to Qi Yanchuan's, before standing next to Qi Yanchuan.
She looked as if she would be the executioner if anyone violated the discipline.
"You check, and I'll defend you."
Qi Yanchuan nodded. After all, he knew the people here better.
A group of people without suspicion had been checked out and were kept outside for surveillance. Shen Ying stood outside the door, which was open for people to go in and be checked by Qi Yanchuan in turn.
As each person's hands were illuminated one by one and they were tied up with threads of different colors, time passed little by little.
When Shen Ying was almost sleepy, he finally finished checking all five thousand people.
At this moment, it was already dawn, and the inspection of the last four people was finally completed. Shen Ying felt that she could proceed to the next step.
"If the rope on your hand is white, go back to your room. If it's black, go back to your room. If it's red, go to the deck and wait. If it's green, sit where you are and don't wander around. Otherwise, you will be detained for guilty conscience."
After much hard work, five thousand suspects were narrowed down to fifty-one.
In fact, her and Qi Yanchuan’s goal has never been to check everyone’s hands, but the soles of their feet.
The soles of the feet of these fifty-one people showed blood stains.
All fifty-one people sat where they were.
The color that seems the most insignificant turns out to be the one that needs to be retained.
