Lord Jinyiwei

Liang Si coughed and said, "Jin Hongzhe, what did you hear and see when you came back that night?"

Jin Hongzhe was about to shake his head, but his eyes suddenly paused, and he hesitated: "I came back very late that night, and there was no sound in all the rooms, but it seems..."

Liang Si looked at him covetously.

Jin Hongzhe: "It seems that there is a sound coming from Du Zheng's room. I'm not sure, it seems to be the sound of something sharp falling to the ground."

Liang Si's eyes flashed and he nodded.

Seeing that Liang Si didn't ask any more questions, Wei Bin bowed his hands and said goodbye.

"Liang Qianhu."

Liang Si stood in front of the Hongda Inn, turned around, and saw Ji Tong walking over with a silly smile.

"I have already submitted a statement to the Holy One. The Holy One is very happy. The document will be issued in a short time. Our contribution is indispensable." Ji Tong patted Liang Si's shoulder knowingly, his face beaming with joy.

Liang Si was expressionless: "Master Ji, didn't you say that you will report to His Majesty later? The case has not yet been clarified, and you have to report to Your Majesty rashly. How do you explain it?"

"How to explain what? It's enough to ask Jin Hongzhe to explain. By the way, is that kid under arrest? Your punishment in prison is much more severe than ours, so you should be recruited."

Liang Si glanced at him displeasedly: "Jin Hongzhe is no longer in the Imperial Prison."

"what?!"

Liang Si went into the inn with a blank expression, and went upstairs to continue to search for clues. Ji Tong chased after him and said angrily: "How dare you escape from prison! I will send people to search the whole city, and kill them on the spot if necessary!"

Liang Si: "Jin Hongzhe is not the murderer."

"The evidence is all there, who else is there besides him?"

"Jin Hongzhe has three aspects to prove that he is not the murderer. First, he has evidence to prove that he did not have time to murder Gao Xiuping..."

"Who?" Ji Tong interrupted.

"Wei Bin."

"Why him? What's the relationship between these two people?" Ji Tong was amazed.

"Admiral Wei went to Beizhen Fusi this morning to explain what happened, and he took the person away..."

"How can you just let someone take away the important suspect?!" Ji Tong interrupted again, angrily angry at Liang Si.

"Wei Bin, Chief Admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion, does Master Ji think that the two of us have higher official positions than him?" Of course, Liang Si knew that Jin Hongzhe was not the murderer.

However, when Liang Si asked this rhetorically, Ji Tong immediately stopped talking, thinking of the [-] Mongolian soldiers who were all tall and burly, with fierce faces, and they were ruthless characters who blocked their throats when they saw blood, and they trembled in physiological reactions.

"The second point of doubt is that, as Jin Hongzhe said, he had no grievances with Gao Xiuping. Why did he kill him? The motive must be considered. If Jin Hongzhe is far away from him because of his ranking on the list, then Gao Xiuping died. It's over, and it's not his turn." When Liang Si said this, a sharp light flashed in Liang Si's eyes.

"The third point is that there are two doubtful points in this case. Judging from his ability to leave such a large jade pendant at the murder scene, such a close murder cannot be done." Liang Sidao, "The first doubtful point, Gao There was such a loud noise in Xiuping’s room, why didn’t all Jinshi hear it? I believe the murderer must have used some means;

The second doubt is Gao Xiuping's thirteen wounds.Except for a knife in the back, all in the front, under what circumstances, the murderer can stab the victim behind with a knife in front of a person who is struggling to save his life. Could it be that the victim turned around and let the murderer stab him?If the murderer stabbed the victim in the back first while the victim was not paying attention, then one knife would kill him, and the murderer would not need to stab the other twelve times in a row.Why did the murderer stab twice in a row?Is it to vent anger or cover up something? "

Ji Tong's mind was confused, and he frowned. He really wanted to say, why do you care so much, but the only suspect so far is related to Admiral Wei, and there is a backstage cover. It seems that we have to find a scapegoat again, oh no, It's the murderer, Ji Tong sighed, and reluctantly entered Gao Xiuping's room with Liang Si.

Liang Si entered the room and looked suspiciously at a small hairpin fragment beside the chaotic table, which was stained with blood.

Ji Tong glanced at the hairpin fragments he picked up from the ground a few days ago, found a place to sit, and said lightly: "I found this on the screen, it's strange, I'm going to show it to Guo Yushi, Gao Xiuping's body is quite far away, and the scope of the fight doesn't seem to reach the screen, why is there a blood-stained hairpin on the screen?"

Liang Si picked up the fragment of the hairpin and was about to examine it carefully. Ji Tong said indifferently: "The hairpin on this Jinshi's scarf looks gorgeous, but once broken, it will be extremely sharp. Liang Qianhu, be careful."

Liang Si's eyes jumped suddenly, staring at the bloodstain.

At this time, a person walked by the door, he stopped when he saw Liang Si and Ji Tong, and stepped forward politely and with outstanding temperament, "Master Fu Yin, Liang Qianhu."

Ji Tong seemed to find the second place particularly pleasing to the eye, so he nodded.

Jiao Yuan asked concerned: "My lord, is there any progress in the case?"

Ji Tong shook his head, and then gave Liang Si a resentful look. There was some progress, but now there is no progress at all.

Liang Si turned a blind eye and said, "Is there anything strange in the inn recently?"

Jiao Yuan thought for a while, and said apologetically, "My lord, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Liang Si nodded, and when she lowered her eyes, she noticed the bottle in Jiao Yuan's hand. On the bottle was pasted a red paper with the words "golden sore medicine". Liang Si asked, "This medicine is for..."

Jiao Yuan bowed his head and picked up the medicine bottle: "My lord said this, it's for Du Zheng, he cut a pear a few days ago and accidentally scratched his hand."

"A few days ago?" Liang Si paused.

Jiao Yuan didn't understand, so he said, "My lord, what's wrong?"

"Did you see the injury when he peeled the pear?"

Jiao Yuan shook his head and said: "Brother Du said to me afterwards, sir, is there any problem?"

Liang Si was silent.

Jiao Yuan arched his hands and said goodbye.

After a while, Ji Tong glanced at him several times, but seeing that he frowned and remained silent, he couldn't sit still, so he said, "What are you going to investigate next?"

Liang Sidao: "I'm going to ask the watchman."

Jitong was a little unhappy.

Liang Si cupped his hands indifferently: "If your lord has something to do, you can handle it by yourself."

Wishing for nothing, Jitong immediately nodded his goodbyes and disappeared in a flash.

"Find all the pieces of the hairpin, and then find a place to restore them." Liang Si said to Jin Yiwei, and went downstairs.

"Knock knock knock."

A small door opened, and Li Xiaozhuang looked at the people in dark blue flying fish suits outside the door, his sleepy eyes widened immediately: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"The night before yesterday, you were the one who was on the clock at the Hongda Inn?" Liang Si asked.

Li Xiaozhuang nodded, and invited several adults into the room. He hurriedly put on neat clothes, and stood respectfully aside.

Liang Sidao: "You don't have to be too cautious, we'll just ask you a few things. Did you hear about the murder case the night before yesterday?"

Li Xiaozhuang nodded hurriedly: "I've heard about it a long time ago, that Gao Zhuangyuan bought fruit from me, but he died within a few days."

"What did you hear and see that night?"

"I called the first shift in Youshi. At that time, I saw that the Hongda Inn was quite lively. Those Jinshi seemed to have just returned. I went around the Northwest Second Street to make the shift. When the second shift came in Xushi, the inn was already much quieter, because I heard that they went to the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites hosted a banquet for them, I have always envied those scholars in my heart, so I often looked up at the way they were studying, thinking that one day they would be able to go to high school, ha ha, but I just thought about it."

Li Xiaozhuang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I looked up at the second watch and saw that most of the wing rooms had turned off the lights, and only a few were still on."

"Which rooms?" Liang Si asked.

"Well... the first and second rooms from the east wall are lit."

He was talking about Gao Xiuping's and Du Zheng's rooms.

Li Xiaozhuang said: "At midnight, the third room also lights up, but only for a while. At midnight, only two rooms are lit, the first room and the fourth room. It was bright until dawn, and I only found out that someone died in the morning, the fourth room..." Li Xiaozhuang's voice dropped, "It's a bit weird, there are always dark shadows on the windows, every time it's midnight, come here Gone without a trace."

Li Xiaozhuang spoke in a quieter voice, and shuddered, wondering if the number one scholar had encountered some headless ghost.

Liang Si knew that the third room was Jiao Yuan's room, and the fourth room was Jin Hongzhe, so he ignored Li Xiaozhuang's suspicion.

Liang Si asked again: "Did someone buy pears from here during Haishi?"

Li Xiaozhuang nodded, and said with a smile: "Jiao Bang, he and Du Tanhua like to buy fruit from me the most. I also told others that it was because of eating my fruit that Hongda Inn won the top three."

"Did you notice the first room?"

Li Xiaozhuang nodded: "The people in that room have been studying hard before the case, and often read very late. That night, I heard the sound of something breaking in that room, but at that time the figure was no longer in front of the window, so I thought it might be the sound of something inside the room. people hit something."

"What time are you talking about?"

"It's been too long."

It was the time of Gao Xiuping's death!That time is the time for the murderer to commit murder!

Liang Sizui asked, "What else did you see?"

Li Xiaozhuang shook his head: "I didn't notice in the first room, but after a while, the lights in the second room that had been off were turned on again. Under the light, I saw someone sitting in front of the window, holding something in his hand, a little like a knife..."

Liang Si's eyes moved.
