A chess game that has been played since more than a decade ago, or even longer.

When investigating the poisoning case of the palace banquet and the fake Ledan's priest case, she felt that the real murderer behind the scenes was quite deep, and now that she has this suspicion, she feels that she seems to have touched on a shocking conspiracy.

"I have a gut feeling that the case of the fake priest Le Dan and the case of hiding the body under the lake may be combined, because both cases are too coincidental, and the dead people are involved in Le Dan. Although one is a case that has just been reported, and the other is more than ten years ago, if the real murderer hidden behind this case has colluded with the second prince of Ledan, that is, the current King of Ledan, then it is very likely that he will send someone to follow King Ledan's side to pass it on, whether it is an alliance or to pass on the news, in short, this matter makes sense. ”

Yuan Xiu's eyebrows were pressed, and he could already guess what Twilight wanted to say.

"Behind the scenes, the real murderer pretended to collude with the eldest prince of Ledan, sent someone to answer all the way, and gained his trust, but in order to kill him in Shengjing and help the second prince ascend the throne. Do you remember that fake Ledan priest Budjan? Twilight asked.

Yuan Xiu was not happy, he smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Twilight raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and praised, "It's finally smart." ”

"You mean, the murderer behind the scenes took the eldest prince of Ledan and his party into Beijing, and then killed them in Shengjing?" Yuan Xiu frowned and asked, but a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, which shocked him, "The real culprit behind the scenes is the second prince of Ledan?" ”

"It's very simple, old Dorje's size is too eye-catching, if there is a man of his size who goes on the road together, pretending to be a brother, if he is cross-examined, one is responsible for answering, the other only needs to echo, and then he is clever enough to plug the gate and guard some money, this gate will be much easier. It was precisely because of the cover along the way that old Dorje had some trust in that person, and he would be killed by him so easily that day. And that day, the eldest prince of Ledin had a tooth disease, do you think it will be Zheng Langzhong who the Ledin people invited? Obviously, the real murderer behind the scenes sent someone to invite him, and he may have been in that room that day! Afterwards, on the grounds that this residence was not suitable for a long time and needed to be changed, the eldest prince and his men were taken away first, leaving the old Dorje in the courtyard to deal with the aftermath, and then ordered his men to kill the old Dorje and then kill the eldest prince elsewhere. Twilight inferred.

"What?" The previous words, Yuan Xiu felt quite reasonable when he heard them, but he was still shocked by the latter words.

Yuan Xiu pondered, and Twilight Qing said in one word: "People! In order to bring more help, the eldest prince of Ledan brought the old Dorje with him, but his size is so eye-catching, do you think that when passing through the customs, those gates guarding the city will probably only look at the road guide and not interrogate a few words? If they are cross-examined, they speak with a nonsense tone, and one of their mouths will be recognized. Therefore, it is very likely that they have a Daxing person with them, and this person is very likely to be the murderer of Lao Dorje. ”

What is needed?

"What I want to say is that the man who colluded with the Ledans is the murderer behind it." Twilight Qing's words were amazing, and without waiting for Yuan Xiu to ask, she said, "Think about it, the Ledin people went all the way to Shengjing, what do they need besides the road guide when they pass the customs?" ”

"Are you saying that there are people in Shengjing who collude with the Ledans, and they should cooperate with the outside?" Yuan Xiu was not surprised by this, he was in the northwest for ten years, dealing with the Hu people all day long, most of them can speak Daxing with a Hu dialect, this way sneaked into Shengjing, if no one answered the road guide, with the size of the old Dorje, he was discovered as early as when he passed through the state cities.

"Makes sense." Du Qing said, "Although that house is a hiding place for the people of Ledan, but the prince can think about it, when they first arrived in Shengjing, they are not familiar with the place, how can they find that house?" ”

When Wu Jin asked, Yuan Xiu also looked at Du Qing, this matter really doesn't make sense!

"The eldest prince of Ledhan infiltrated Shengjing to assassinate Yuan Xiang, presumably with him more than just Lao Dorje. According to the governor, the hiding place of the Ledan people was the private house, and the eldest prince had a tooth disease that day, and invited Zheng Lang to be treated by Chinese medicine, and was killed by the old Dorje afterwards. But old Dorje was killed by the murderer from behind when he killed Zheng Langzhong, so I can't figure out why the murderer dared to blatantly kill and throw his body in the courtyard where the Ledin people lived, wouldn't it be discovered by the Letan people? ”

"Lord Wang, please speak."

"But ......" At this time, Wu Jin actually opened his mouth, he looked at Twilight Qing, and his smile was a little strange, "I feel that there is something that makes sense, do you dare to ask the governor to solve your doubts?" ”

Yuan Xiu sighed, he watched her investigate so many cases, and judge the case, but she was still not as thoughtful as her.

"It's about the same as old Dorje." Yuan Xiudao, although this statement seemed similar to his initial inference, he finally understood why she was asking those words. Because of the different circumstances in which the crime occurred and the different environments in which the body was dumped, the speculation on the size of the murderer will be very different. The courtyard of the house is not large, and you can see the well when you get out of the house, and Lao Dorje can throw people into the well after killing Zheng Langzhong, and there is no need to bend down or squat, so it can be inferred that the murderer's size is similar to that of Lao Dorje, but if the crime occurred elsewhere, then it is impossible to say the situation at that time, let alone speculate on the murderer's size.

Twilight nodded, "If Old Dorje didn't need to bend down or crouch down when he killed Zheng Langzhong, then the murderer killed him by cutting his neck, how tall would the murderer be?" ”

If he wants to kill someone about her size, and that person doesn't know martial arts, then he can kill that person with one blow and throw him headfirst into the well!

"No, you don't!" Yuan Xiu flicked his sleeves and turned around, not wanting to look at Twilight Qing, let alone her slender neck.

"Don't interrupt!" Twilight didn't like to talk about anything else while reasoning about the case, so she sneered and asked, "If you're going to crush my neck and throw me into a well, do you need to bend over or crouch?" ”

"You fight by another analogy!" Yuan Xiu frowned and interrupted Twilight, his face was extremely stinky, and his tone was extremely bad.

"Relevant." Twilight continued, "According to the above reasoning, the Ledans hid in that courtyard after they came to Shengjing, then that courtyard should be the scene of the killing. The rest is very reasonable, after Zheng Langzhong cured the dental disease of Prince Ledan, Lao Duo sent him away, killed him in the courtyard and threw his body into the well. Zheng Langzhong is much shorter than Old Dorje, and the difference in size between the two of them is greater than that between you and me. Suppose you want to crush my neck and throw me into a well......"

Yuan Xiu nodded and asked, "You said that this matter is related to the size of the murderer?" ”

"Is it a coincidence that you can check the neighbors of that house, if there were people living in that yard, they can't be unaware. It is said that the neighbors on the left and right of the old house all moved away because they thought that the body had been fished out of the well, and since they moved away, where they moved, there should be a file of the official household registration document in the official house, and they should find it out and check it. "Twilight said.

What if it's just a coincidence?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Yuan Xiu asked. He knew that this possibility was too low, if Lao Dorje broke into a private house at will and threw the corpse, then the risk was too high, his size was already eye-catching, and if the reckless throwing of the corpse was discovered, he would need to kill people, and their purpose was to assassinate the prime minister of a country, so naturally he would not be willing to cause more trouble in these matters. Therefore, he knew that Twilight's inference was highly likely, but since it was an inference, it should be inferred in all aspects, and should not be ignored because it was unlikely.

Wu Jin smiled and said, "It's really too coincidental. ”

Yuan Xiu was silent when he heard this.

"Quite possibly. For one, the alley was remote and empty. Second, Zheng Langzhong was invited to go during the day, and no matter how long the time for filling a tooth is, it can't be delayed at night, if the body is dumped during the day, will Old Dorje blatantly carry a person in the alley? Even if there was a carriage pulling it or using other methods to hide and transport the body, how would he know which alley and which house was unoccupied? If he had killed a person and put the body in the evening, and then came out at night to dump it, then the question was the same: how could he have just dumped the body in the well of the ownerless yard? ”

"You mean, they lived in the old house where the bodies were found?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Twilight Qing continued: "The eldest prince of Leden led people into Shengjing with the intention of assassinating Yuan Xiangguo, I guess he brought old Dorje with him because he was born with great divine strength and force, and with him by his side, killing people and saving his life is a great help." But the old Dorje's stature is too high, even if he is disguised as a Daxing person, the food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way are too conspicuous. However, they slipped into Shengjing, where do you say they will live? Inn? Houses? ”

When Yuan Xiu heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and a flash of thought swept by.

"It's not hard to measure, I asked about this matter naturally related to the size of the murderer." Twilight Qing glanced at Wu Jin and said, "The two bodies were fished out of an ownerless old courtyard well in Beimin Lane in the outer city, I asked Zheng Langzhong's eldest son, and he said that there was a lonely old woman living in the old courtyard, who died of illness half a year ago, and no one lived in the courtyard after that, until her two distant nephews moved in for real estate, and the bodies in the well were not found." ”

She was still talking about the size of the old Dorje and the murderer just now, and in a blink of an eye, she asked about the scene of the crime, Wu Jin shook her head with a smile and said, "The words of the people are unpredictable, and the meaning of the governor is even more unpredictable. ”

Twilight Qing let go of Yuan Xiu, ignoring the murderous gaze of the moon killer, and seeing that Yuan Xiu and Wu Jin both looked puzzled, she asked, "Where do you think the first scene of this case will be?" ”

Twilight said, "It depends on where the first scene of the crime is. ”

Yuan Xiu asked, "Do you mean that the murderer's size is about the same as that of Old Dorje, or is it ...... The murderer is Hu Ren? ”

Wu Jin suddenly understood Twilight's meaning and said, "Old Dorje is quite tall, and the murderer is shorter than him, so it will be quite difficult to cut his neck. Hou Ye also said just now that Old Dorje is the number one warrior of the Leden tribe, and it is not easy to kill him, and it is even more difficult to kill him by cutting his neck, not to mention that Old Dorje's size is rarely matched. ”

Yuan Xiu hissed, turned around, and saw that Twilight Qing was strangling his neck, but his body was half a head shorter than him, and he cut his neck with a gesture, how to look like he was struggling!

Old Dorje's height?
