Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple

"My lord, don't you really want to do what he said? Take him back to the palace?"

Needless to say, now Li Wuzheng's impression of Li Luo is extremely bad, the little eunuch is not telling the truth at all, who knows what crooked ideas he is thinking in his head now, there must be a bunch of traps waiting for them.

"Walk."

Xie Changying didn't answer Li Wuzheng, but just said a word to Li Luo.

Li Wuzheng was full of helplessness, and hurriedly chased those two people out of Dali Temple.

There was a murder case in the Yingchuan Palace. Now the palace is heavily guarded. There are two teams of guards patrolling non-stop in front of the gate. The surrounding atmosphere is quite serious.

Seeing the prince's sudden return, the guards clasped their hands together and saluted, "My lord."

Xie Changying went straight in, without the need for others to lead the way, and personally led Li Luo to the courtyard where Master Liu had an accident.

Li Luo followed all the way, and visited left and right all the way. As a "fake" from time travel, Li Luo entered the palace for the first time. There was a murder case in the palace, so he naturally had to observe it carefully.

Li Wuzheng didn't like Li Luo now, so he leaned over to Xie Changying's side and muttered in a low voice: "Look at him, look at him, looking around, pretending to be pretty, as if he really lost his memory."

Xie Changying was also secretly observing Li Luo, squinting his eyes, as if he had some thoughts of his own.

Xie Changying walked while watching, and suddenly said: "By the way, my lord, the servants in the mansion who served Mr. Liu that night, please help me to find them, I want to ask questions."

Xie Changying didn't speak, but just glanced at Li Wuzheng.

Li Wuzheng almost rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay! Okay! I'll go find it!"

Li Wuzheng left angrily, but Li Luo smiled. He actually has a bit of a bad personality, and he likes to see others angry and helpless, and somehow feels quite sour.

"Ahem." Li Luo restrained his smile, and said decently: "The onset time of this arsenic/cream poisoning is not only related to the oral dose, but also related to the filling volume of the poisoned stomach. The fastest poisoning occurs It takes about one to half a stick of incense. If it is slow, two or three hours is also possible."

Li Luo also said before, there are only two possibilities.One is Master Liu's suicide, and the other is that someone poisoned Master Liu after the sour plum soup was tested for poison.

If it is the second possibility, then Master Liu may have been poisoned during the night he stayed in the Palace.Then the servant who served Mr. Liu was the key suspect.

After walking for a while, Li Luo finally saw the courtyard where Master Liu was staying.

Li Luo couldn't stop saying, "It's really remote."

Xie Changying didn't change his face, and said calmly: "There are too many people giving gifts, and there are also many adults staying overnight. The space in the palace is limited, so it is inevitable that there will be no room for it, so I have to arrange Master Liu here that day."

Li Luo smiled, and did not expose Xie Changying's high-sounding excuses.

Li Luo is a smart man, this Xie Changying is at odds with the crown prince, Master Liu belongs to the crown prince, Master Liu came to give Xie Changying a congratulatory gift, obviously the weasel didn't have a good heart to give the chicken New Year's greetings, Xie Changying didn't directly throw him out, The prince has already given enough face.

As for Xie Changying, who seems to be a man of immortal demeanor, without desires and desires, and a master of the world, he is actually unavoidable in his heart. To put it bluntly, he is very careful and holds grudges. Naturally, he deliberately made things difficult for Mr. Liu, so he specially arranged it. Such a remote and simple residence for Mr. Liu.

Li Luo shook his head and said: "It's also thanks to the good residence arranged by the lord, it is so remote, it must be quiet at night, it is especially suitable for the murderer to attack Master Liu, to commit murder."

Xie Changying: "..."

That's true, Xie Changying felt a little regretful at the moment, if Master Liu had been arranged in an ordinary guest room back then, there would be many servants coming and going there, so the murderer might not be so easy to catch.

But it's too late to say anything now, it's over.

"It's okay." Li Luo showed a sincere smile, looked up at Xie Changying, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, no matter who the murderer is, I can help you find him."

"Ah--"

Xie Changying lowered his eyes and looked at him, and gave a low laugh for no apparent reason.

Xie Changying led him into the courtyard where Master Liu stayed. Li Luo entered the room to look around, and soon heard Li Wuzheng's voice.

Li Wuzheng said: "Everyone has brought them."

There were three servants standing in the yard, all of them were men, and there was not even a single servant girl.

Mr. Liu has always had a bad reputation. He has a bad temper after being drunk, and he is still lustful at a young age. It often happens that he goes to a friend's house to moles the maidservant, so Xie Changying ordered that day that there is no need to assign any maidservant to Liu. grown ups.

Three servants were called, and they stood by their duties.Two of them are tall and big, and the last one is a little thin and small. At first glance, I don't know if he is an adult, but he looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Xie Changying stood aside and did not speak, and Li Luo was not polite, asking: "On the day that Master Liu stayed overnight, did you serve Master Liu?"

The three servants nodded in unison, and the tallest servant said: "Master Liu was drunk that day, we carried Master Liu to come here, and after Master Liu fell asleep, we left, leaving vines to serve you."

The one named Mancao is the skinny little servant.When Li Luo heard the word "Mancao", he smiled and said: "Mancao? What a good name. 'There are vines in the wild, with little dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful.'"

Mancao was a little embarrassed, and said: "It is true that the villain was in charge of serving Mr. Liu that day. Mr. Liu was very drunk. He went to sleep directly, and nothing happened. But in the middle of the night, I was keeping watch outside, and Mr. Liu suddenly woke up. , let’s just say it’s hot, I want iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat…”

Mancao shrank her neck as she said that, it seems that Mr. Liu must be very fierce at that time.

Mancao didn't dare to disobey Mr. Liu, so she immediately asked someone to prepare iced sour plum soup, and brought it to Mr. Liu's room.

"You watched Master Liu drink the sour plum soup?" Li Luo interrupted and asked.

There is indeed a bowl of sour plum soup in Master Liu's room, and Li Luo has seen it just now, and everything in the room is as it was when the crime happened, and has not changed.

But the strange thing is that there is not just one bowl of sour plum soup, but two bowls side by side.

Just now when Li Luo went into the room to check, when he saw the two bowls, he couldn't help laughing, as if he found a very interesting clue.

After hearing Li Luo's words, Mancao immediately shook her head and said, "No. Master Liu... Master Liu is too fierce. I just brought it in, but Master Liu lost his temper for some reason and threw me out of the yard. I... I don't He dared to offend Master Liu, so he had no choice but to watch the night outside the courtyard, until...until dawn, he didn't enter the courtyard again. Who would have thought..."

Who would have thought that Lord Liu would die at dawn the next day!

Li Luo smiled slightly, and asked: "In other words, Master Liu was alive when you left the courtyard. Then if you guarded outside the courtyard all night, you can see who has entered and exited the courtyard?"

Mancao shook her head again, and said, "I stayed outside the courtyard all night, and I didn't see anyone, and no one went in or out of the courtyard."

Li Luo asked again: "Then did you hear any movement in the yard?"

Mancao recalled it for a while, but still shook her head: "I didn't hear any movement in the yard, it was very quiet."

"Oh, so..."

When Li Luo said this, he didn't continue talking, but looked at the creeping grass and smiled ambiguously.

This smile is clearly polite, but somehow people feel a chill down their spine when they see it, and I don't know why.

Mancao was frightened by him, and immediately knelt down with a thud, and said, "My lord has learned! It wasn't the villain who killed Mr. Liu. The villain really didn't! The villain really didn't. Besides... besides... Mr. Liu The poisonous sour plum soup I drank was not prepared by the villain. It was Liu Er who delivered the sour plum soup from the dining room that day. When he brought it to the gate of the yard, he suddenly said that his stomach hurts and wanted to be condescending, so he hurriedly stuffed the sour plum soup for me and ran away. The villain is just responsible for bringing it in..."

Mancao was so anxious that her face was flushed red, as if she was almost scared to cry by Li Luo.

The two tall and strong servants next to me couldn't stand it any longer, and they stood up and said, "Your Excellency, how could it be Mancao? Mancao has been in the palace for several years, and we have always divided our duties. We all see it, and we absolutely can't do it." Something like murder."

Another servant also said: "This is absolutely impossible. Mancao is not that kind of person. Besides, the sour plum soup has been tested for poison. It has been tested in the dining room, and it has to be tested again before entering the courtyard. Drug testing, how could the vines have the chance to be poisoned?"

Xie Changying stood with his hands behind his back the whole time, watching from the sidelines, without any intention of interfering.

At this time, Li Luo smiled and said "Eh?", then took two steps forward, bent down and stretched out his hands to help the creeper kneeling on the ground.

Li Luo took Mancao's hand, pulled him up, and said softly, "Look, I'm so good-looking, I'm not a scourge."

"My... my lord?" Mancao was confused by Li Luo's attitude for a moment, and Li Luo's tone was frivolous. Feeling around.

Mancao was blushed by Li Luo, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Li Luo still did not let go.

Li Wuzheng over there couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Mancao, you said that a servant named Liu Er was in charge of the sour plum soup? Why isn't Liu Er here?"

Mancao hurriedly said: "It's Liu Er. But... I haven't seen Liu Er since that day."

"What?" Li Wuzheng was surprised, and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with Liu Er! I'll send someone to find Liu Er immediately!"

"That's unnecessary."

Before Li Wuzheng left, Li Luo opened his mouth and said, "This Liu Er is just a passer-by, and he is not a murderer when he is found. Isn't it a waste of work?"

"He is not the murderer, so who is the murderer?" Li Wuzheng asked.

Li Luo pretended to be mysterious for a while, and said, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us..."
