Chapter 26: Setting Up and Breaking the Game
"How dare you be so sure that General Fan is the murderer?"
On the way back, Jing Ruohan couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
Li Jie turned his head to look at her compelling face, and said with a mysterious smile: "There is a book I have read called: Criminal Psychology. It's about how to observe the psychological dynamics of the suspect from the facial expressions of the other party. General Fan had no surprised expression when he heard about the assassination of Qin, indicating that he had known about this matter for a long time. Coupled with many signs and analysis, I can be sure that General Fan is the murderer. ”
"Criminal Psychology." Jing Ruohan chewed on this unfamiliar term, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect Brother Li to be erudite and talented, and in retrospect, General Fan really didn't have a surprised expression." Such a profound theory, Ruohan was taught. ”
Li Jie smiled and said in his heart: How can I say that I am also from thousands of years later, and I have watched more TV series than she has seen. This little knowledge is clearly explained in the TV series casually, and there is no need to bother to learn it at all.
"Then what's the matter with the black-robed man you are talking about? Also, I still haven't thought of why General Fan wanted to kill Qin Wuyang. If it is to sabotage the trip to assassinate Qin? But I think the assassination of Qin is only beneficial to General Fan and harmless? Why should he destroy it? Jing Ruohan was still puzzled in his heart, and asked curiously.
Li Jie suddenly stopped, stared at it, and said heavily: "Do you remember, if the black-robed man sees it, he doesn't need to ask more, immediately?" One? Root? Read? Novel kills! ”
Jing Ruohan stared at Li Jie's eyes, and she nodded without hesitation, who already admired him in her heart.
"As for the reason for the killing...... Your brother knows. ”
Li Jie didn't say much after speaking, even if Jing Ruohan asked, he was silent.
After returning to the mansion while speaking, after coming to the back hall to see Jing Ke, Li Jie sent someone to leave and told Jing Ke about today's events as it was.
Jing Ke pointed his finger at the table and was silent. Listen to his sister ask: "Sister Shu is stupid, I can't figure out why General Fan wants to kill Qin Wuyang." ”
On the way here, Jing Ruohan remembered that Li Jie said that her brother knew the reason. Then he asked Jing Ke, and at the same time stared at the latter's reaction.
Jing Ke touched the flower pot in his hand, but looked up at Li Jie: "How dare Brother Li be sure that General Fan is the murderer." If you are not absolutely sure, will you not die in vain today?! ”
Li Jie smiled: "Do you want me to say it?" Brother Jing didn't know that there was a third condition for this assassination of Qin. ”
Jing Ke was visibly stunned. looked Li Jie up and down a few times, and exclaimed, "How do you know?" Only the prince and I knew about it. ”
Li Jie sighed: "Do you still think this is a secret? If General Fan hadn't known that you were going to take someone else's head to the upper hall, he wouldn't have been instigated by others to do something against his heart. ”
"What? Want to take General Fan's head? Why? Jing Ruohan exclaimed.
Li Jie explained with a smile: "Ruohan girl, don't be surprised. I'll break it down for you. Turning his eyes to look at Jing Ke, he walked in the hall and said: "This prince Dan has been banned in the Qin State since he was a child, and he has been humiliated in every way. This hatred had been hidden in his heart for a long time. Now that he has met you and your brother, who are strong in martial arts, he has seen the hope of assassinating Qin. The first and second conditions are nothing more than sharp weapons to assassinate Qin, but it is not so easy to meet the King of Qin. As far as I know, the King of Qin once offered a reward of thousands of gold for General Fan's life, and if he offered General Fan's head, he would be able to gain the trust of King Qin and kick the main hall of Xianyang Palace. Brother Jing, do you think my analysis is correct? ”
Li Jie looked at the pensive Jing Ke with a confident smile, he knew that Jing Ke didn't dare to say that it was wrong. What he said just now was what he saw from history textbooks, not only recorded by historians but also analyzed by countless historians, so Li Jie was actually just stating a fact that he knew.
Sure enough, Jing Ke nodded heavily and said, "Brother Li's analysis is unbiased, and that's the case." Prince Dan told me the same thing. Then he sighed and said, "But I didn't expect that this Prince Dan's heart was so sincere. The first time Prince Dan raised this matter with me, I politely refused. But unexpectedly, he continued to press forward step by step, and even at a banquet because I praised a maid who stroked the harp, the maid's hands were cut off and sent to me the next day. Such a gift is inevitable for me to avoid, and it also makes me fearful. But if I don't agree, I will be beheaded that night. In desperation, he decided to assassinate Qin. At that time, I proposed to ask Qin Wuyang to accompany me, but I unexpectedly harmed Qin Wuyang...... But when it comes to the third condition, it was actually put forward by Prince Dan on his own initiative. ”
Before Li Jie could speak, he heard Jing Ruohan puzzled: "Brother, forgive my sister for speaking bluntly." This assassination is a great righteousness for the benefit of the world, but why do you refuse? ”
Jing Ke looked at his sister and sighed heavily: "Ruohan, you have been accepted as a disciple by Yunyou nuns since you were a child, and you have been practicing martial arts in the mountains. It has only been these two years since I came down the mountain to follow me, and you have not been exposed to the things of this world. I know you've always wanted to do something righteous to prove yourself, but ...... Brother really has a last resort. ”
"What other hardships can compare to Assassin Qin?" Li Jie scolded him angrily, and even Jing Ruohan beside him nodded again and again.
Jing Ke shook his head and said nothing, changing the topic and saying, "Now that the situation is here, what should I do?" General Fan has already regarded us as a thorn in the side, and sooner or later he will attack us. And General Fan is a high-ranking position in Yan State, holding the country's soldiers and horses. It seems that we are leaving the Yan Kingdom. ”
"No way!" Li Jie shouted heavily. Jing Ke left Yan Kingdom, and the trip to assassinate Qin would be in vain.
Jing Ruohan couldn't think of a good way to think of a good way after thinking for a while, so he suddenly turned his head to ask Li Jie for advice: "Does Brother Li have any good ideas?" She didn't feel it herself, and after just one day of contact, she already had some unconscious dependence on this big brother Li. She felt that this big brother Li, who was always unexpected, could solve anything she couldn't solve.
The situation today is indeed not optimistic. Now Li Jie can be sure that this mysterious black-robed man is a saboteur from the Black Shine Space. Before he came to this era, the black-robed man instigated General Fan to kill Qin Wuyang and set up Jing Ke as an enemy. The black-robed man created such a "game" through Fan Yuzhi, a key figure, and made Li Jie fall into a quagmire. None of the characters that Li Jie can come into contact with now can be used to fight.
How can I solve this game? While thinking about it, Li Jie lowered his head and began to circle around the hall.
"Prince Dan!" Li Jie stopped abruptly and looked up at Jing Ke: "I'm going to see Prince Dan!" ”
Jing Ke thought for a while, frowned, and said, "You want to use the Prince Dan to suppress General Fan?" He shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that Prince Dan won't offend the general of soldiers and horses because of a few of our guests." I estimate that if this Prince Dan knew about this, even if he let the assassination of Qin stop, he would not provoke General Fan. ”
Li Jie thought about what he thought in his heart a few more times, and affirmed: "I have my own way to let Prince Dan take this step!" ”
Jing Ke said helplessly: "Since Brother Li insists on going, it is inconvenient for me to stop him." And after all, Prince Dan invited you and me to come to Yan Kingdom, even if there was any language conflict, he would not be too embarrassed. ”
"I'll go with Brother Li!" Jing Ruohan suddenly volunteered.
"No, no, this time I'm going to meet Prince Dan alone."
Jing Ruohan's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Brother Li's words are wrong. If anything happens, I can also save Big Brother. When you met Prince Dan, I waited outside the house. Besides, you need a guide, right? ”
Li Jie grinned helplessly: "Okay, then you and I will go again." After agreeing, when I looked at Jing Ruohan again, I saw that her face had softened, and it was like ice and snow melting and the sun shining in an instant. Secretly shook her head and smiled bitterly: This Ruohan girl, don't look at the face like an ice cellar, in fact, she is just a child's heart.
Jing Ke nodded: "Ruohan is right, if something happens, her martial arts can also keep you safe." After all, I don't know when General Fan will make a move. It's getting late, why don't you go back tomorrow? ”
"Go now, I'll be back soon." Li Jie knew that there was not much time left for him, and he was now in a race against time. And the longer it drags on, the more I don't know what will happen. After all, this black-robed man is still in Yan Kingdom.
Then he left the hall with Jing Ruohan.
Jing Ke looked at a pair of figures outside the door that were gradually moving away, and a pair of calloused hands gently stroked the pot of flowers on the table.
"Prince Dan...... Even I can't see through what Prince Dan is thinking? How can you convince him? Jing Ke shook his head in confusion.
