Now there are several doubts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

First, what exactly does the symbol that stays on the scene mean. Are the symbols that appeared at the scene the same as the symbols that Hongling left by the musician half a year ago?

Second, Hongling, who only started to track down the truth after Xiyue's death, only started her revenge plan half a year ago, if she knew how Xiyue died, then why did she want to go into Sui Que's Mansion to investigate? If she didn't know, then how did she manage to get to almost the same case as she had done in the first place?

Third, Gao Tao reacted to traumatic emergency syndrome when he heard that the escort deed was returned to the court. His reaction, based on the time when it appeared at the time, should not have been associated with the fact that Qi Hui was hung at the gate of his mansion after his death. In other words, the cause of Gaotao's PDST is due to the fact that he escorted the deed juniper back to the road. It's just that when you encounter a mob fight, will it cause such serious psychological trauma to Gaotao? I think there may be other reasons.

Fourth, it's still about the man.

"Huo Xi, where have you been?"

I had just walked to the door, and I was standing at the door with a lot of worry, and only after hearing this sound did I turn my head to look, in the open door, Xiao Jue was sitting in a wheelchair, and his dark blue robe was dragged to the ground.

"I went to see Xia Cangjie." I came back to my senses, walked over to him, and bent down to pull up his robe that had fallen to the ground. "I was with Emperor Yu just now, and I heard April tell Emperor Yu that you went to see Emperor Yu? How did you come back so soon. ”

Xiao Jue put his hand on the wheel, then turned it slightly, and returned to the house. "I heard him mention that you have to look up what happened five years ago."

"Hmm." I didn't expect Emperor Yu to mention it to Xiao Jue so soon.

"Then you should gain something from this trip to see Cangjie." Xiao Jue's questioning is like a homely conversation, which shows that he doesn't seem to be very interested in the case five years ago.

"There is a little bit of gain, but it's not big, but now it's even more confusing." I said weakly, then stepped aside and sat down. "It's not because of how tricky the case was five years ago, in fact, no matter how tricky the case is, you can find some insignificant clues from it, and then find the direction to solve the case. It's just that the case from five years ago is almost the same as what I experienced when I was in the city court, so I ......"

"Have you figured out what to do?" Xiao Jue asked.

"I still want to meet Hongling, Hongling must have a breakthrough in the case, assuming, she really doesn't know the beginning and end of those cases five years ago, but when the case was solved half a year ago, why did the murder she committed coincide with the serial murder case five years ago. There must be a reason for this, and besides, I have a bad premonition...... "It's a strong feeling." "I have to buy time, I'm worried that if it's later, Hongling may have an accident, so I won't get any clues."

"Your Excellency!" Zhuya suddenly rushed over and ran to the front of him, only to gasp and say, "My lord, Hongling committed suicide." ”

"It seems that you are already a step slower." Xiao Jue's voice trembled coldly.

……

Hongling is dead.

He died in what was considered the strongest prison in the court.

While the guards were changing, she braided the dead grass into straw ropes and strangled herself to death. The guards on the shift watched her fall into the haystack and thought she was just asleep, until she realized that something was wrong with her, and her body was already cold.

I followed Zhuya into the prison, Hongling's body had been moved outside, and Xiao Jue was inspecting.

The prison was about 700 centimeters long and 400 centimeters wide. Three sides are stone high walls, between the cracks of the wall are plastered with yellow mud, and the whole front side is a fence, all of which are built with a diameter of about ten centimeters of wood, the door is on the right side of the fence, about 150 centimeters high, about 70 centimeters wide, normal people want to enter the prison, they need to lower their heads, and the door on the fence can only allow one person to enter at the same time.

Judging from the surrounding environment, homicide can basically be ruled out.

In the dry grass that was originally padded in the prison, Zhuya found the straw rope made of Hongling and handed it to me. The two ends of this straw rope have traces of being pulled hard, and the straw rope has formed an arc, which can be determined to be caused by Hongling himself wrapping the straw rope around his neck, and crossing, and pulling hard with both hands.

"Miss Huo Xi." Bamboo Tooth called me.

I walked over and looked in the direction he was pointing, and in the corner, in a hidden place, there was a symbol drawn.

Symbol?!

There was a fishy smell in the prison, like the smell of water in a fish tank.

The symbol was carved into the wall obscured by dead grass.

"Did you find anything?" I walked out of the prison just in time for Xiao Jue to wipe his hands after the autopsy.

"It is certain that she was strangled to death, and, judging from the only and fatal strangulation marks on her neck, and the strangulation marks of the straw ropes on her two palms, it is already certain that she was strangled to death by herself." Xiao Jue gave an answer about Hongling's death.

I handed him the straw rope, "This is what Zhuya found in the prison just now, it should be that the guards of the prison put it aside when they were saving people, you see, is it this rope." ”

After Xiao Jue found the rope, he compared the length of the rope, tried the toughness of the rope, and then sniffed it again, "It should be this one." There is also a damp smell on the neck of the deceased, which is very similar to this rope, and there is a smell of blood on the rope, and when the deceased committed suicide, he used a lot of force, so the skin on the neck caused many subtle wounds, although there was not much blood, but because the rope covered the wound, the blood in the wound was sucked into the rope. ”

"The smell of dampness?" Speaking of this smell, I had smelled it in the prison just now, so after hearing Xiao Jue's statement, I leaned over to the corpse and sniffed it carefully, "The same smell is also in the prison." ”

There doesn't seem to be anything special about this smell, but why do I always feel like I'm feeling a strange thing?

"This is because ......" the guards of the prison were pushed out at this time to explain, "Half a month ago, there was a fire near the warehouse where the grain and grass were kept, and because they were worried that the fire would spread to the warehouse, they asked the slaves to get water from the nearby river pond to extinguish the fire. The damp smell that adults smell is due to the fact that the water in the pond has splashed on some of the hay. ”

"But this dead grass is still wet, how can it be taken like this and used by the prisoners in the prison?!" After Xiao Jue heard his words, he immediately reprimanded.

"My lord, this ......" The guard was almost frightened when he saw this, and immediately fell to his knees and defended himself in a panic, "Your Excellency...... It was too cold on this day, and there were so many palace rooms in the court, and the wood prepared before the winter alone was not enough to burn, and in the general palace room, this kind of hay was burned. But when the grass was wet, it could not be burned, so the part of the hay that was not wet was transferred to the palace for fire, and the wet grass could only be sent to the prison for the prisoners to use......"

Xiao Jue's hand was tightly knocked on the wheelchair, and his knuckles were white.

"When was the dead grass in this prison replaced?" I don't think Xiao Jue can't understand the reason why they do this, it's just that out of nature, he is particularly disgusted with this practice, so I changed the topic and asked.

"It was four days ago." The guard's eyes rolled.

"Four days ago?" I knew he was lying to me, "It's cold, but there is a wall in this prison that is ventilated, and if this damp dead grass was changed to the prison four days ago, then after these four days, it should be dry." ”

The guard lowered his head suddenly, and pleaded desperately with Xiao Jue, "My lord's life, my lord's life!" ”

"What's your name?" Xiao Jue's cold face is still quite scary, especially the black veil covering his eyes, which makes people unable to see his eyes under the black veil, and the cold voice adds a little more murderous aura.

"The villain is desolate." The guard replied tremblingly, also bluffed by him.

"Wasteland, when did this withered grass be replaced, and still tell the truth?!" Xiao Jue drank for a long time, causing everyone around him to stop and watch.

"Yes, it's early this morning." Aragaki finally told the truth. This is also because the stinky room in this cell is too stinky, and the villain is afraid that the emperor will interrogate him again, so he will reproach him, so he hurriedly ordered the slave to change the grass in this cell. However, who would have thought that the grass brought by the slave would be the dry grass that had been wet a few days ago, and this ...... I didn't think much about it, and as a result, it turned out to be an accident. ”

"Moist grass is more resilient than hay, and in this respect, it is convenient for Hongling to commit suicide by tying a rope with the dead grass that he replaced today." I didn't expect it to be just a lack of attention, when I saw Hongling again, she had already ended up like this. In the end, she was not able to get the punishment she deserved, and some clues could no longer be confirmed from her mouth.

"Your Excellency." Aragari still has something to say, and after looking at Xiao Jue's reaction, he said with little confidence, "This female prisoner has been trying to commit suicide since the day she was sent, and she hit her head against the wall a few days ago, but fortunately she was found early and was saved......

Did you have an accident a few days ago?

Xiao Jue seemed to sense that I was looking at him, so he turned his head slightly in my direction. "The corpse does have a wound on its forehead, it must have been left a few days ago. I thought you knew. ”

I know? How would I know that Emperor Yu said that Hongling didn't want to see me, and I had no way of knowing the news about Hongling's imprisonment.

"Wasteland, as a guard, but you have not fulfilled your duty, come and take the wasteland down, and you will be punished with twenty rods." Xiao Jue had already punished him.

"My lord, my lord spares my life!" Arazoki screamed as he dragged him down.

"Let's go." Xiao Jue turned the wheel, and then explained to the others, "Fu Sheng, take Hongling's body down first, and take good care of it." ”

"Yes." Fu Sheng replied.

"Wait a minute." Just as the corpse passed by me, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. With a shout, the man carrying the corpse stopped, and I stepped forward to remove the coarse cloth that had covered me, pinching Hongling's eyelids and rolling them up, "Oh my God." ”

I couldn't help but scream, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

"Let's go back and talk about it." Xiao Jue didn't wait for me to ask, and said to himself.

Fu Sheng stepped forward to re-cover the coarse cloth and left with the man carrying the corpse. (To be continued.) )
