Chapter 189: Cross-examination
My heart was turbulent, but I forced myself not to be surprised, and waited for Li Si's answer.
But he was in no hurry to find out.
"Lady Creek wants to know?" He asked deliberately, and the smile was meaningful.
I know that he is fighting psychological warfare with me, waiting for me to break through when I am delirious and on the verge of collapse, so I can't be easily discerned by him.
"If it weren't for the assassins who had infiltrated the dancers in the palace, it wouldn't have been a big deal who chose the dancers, so why did Lord Li sell the gate so much? This case is a serious matter, how can it be child's play, Lord Li must do his best to solve the case. ”
I stepped out of the circle he had set up for me again and spoke to him as "Madame".
Ignoring my exhortations, he continued to speak to me.
"Mrs. Creek thinks things are normal? Heh, that's even weirder. Fusu Gongzi said that he helped Mrs. Jing arrange the banquet, and the candidates used during the period were all selected by him, especially your good dancers, who were handled by him and had nothing to do with anyone.
But according to what Mrs. Fang Caixi said, the difference between the two of you choosing a dancer is not a big deal, since it is so ordinary, why does Fusu Gongzi want to emphasize that it has nothing to do with you? ”
Li Si consciously grasped the flaws between my words and the suspicions between me and Fusu, and his expression was quite arrogant.
It seems that Fusu was afraid that I would be questioned by Li Si, so he blindly took the responsibility.
Li Si looked at me intently, and continued to ask: "According to the words of the eldest prince, the selection and process of the dancer did not communicate with Mrs. Xi, but he was the master of the selection and then sent to Mrs. Xi's dance;
But according to Mrs. Xi's words, the dancer was Mrs. Nai Xi took the initiative to ask Mr. Fusu to select it on his behalf, and then he was satisfied with the acceptance.
According to this, you let me let me do such an ordinary thing, is there another hidden reason in this? ”
Li Si didn't blink, and he didn't let go of any of my expressions.
I was stared at by Li Si and panicked.
"This dance in this palace seeks to be unique and unique, and it requires candidates with skills but different from the seasoned dancers in the palace; Isn't it natural for Fusu Gongzi to be in charge of the banquet and choose the dancers according to the usual rules? ”
I tried to calm my mind and hide my uneasiness with a cold tone.
"Lord Li was ordered by the king to investigate the assassins' comrades and the details. It is prudent to inquire about the Assassin's close friends and his provenance. Now that the disaster has happened, if there were his comrades on the field that day, would the comrades watch him fight alone and not deserve to die?
When this person came out of the queue to make trouble, everyone in the hall was panicking, and no one had the heart to watch the battle, and they didn't know that this kind of thing would happen at the banquet.
This assassin has been in the palace for so many years, and his martial arts are very well hidden, and he is so thoughtful that he will not have the opportunity to assassinate the king, but he has not exploded until now. I think there is an organized and premeditated responsibility behind it.
A person has been dormant for a long time. There must be clues to follow. But Lord Li didn't go to check these clues carefully, and now he is looking for mistakes because the palace and the eldest prince agreed, is it meaningful? ”
What I mean by this is that the details of who I ask for and who chooses whom I and Fusu do are not important. It was only important for him to turn his attention to the Assassin's past over the years.
Could it be that he decided that it was the fault of the difference between me and Fusu, and that he wanted to suspect that I or Fusu were trying to murder Yingzheng?
I am the princess of the eldest envoy, and Fusu is the eldest son of Yingzheng, even if he is suspicious, Li Si does not dare to admit that he doubts us without conclusive evidence.
As for the assassin's past, I think that a smart person like Li Si must have investigated all aspects, and if he had clues to convict Lin Jixiang, he would not let Lin Jixiang live in this world and make him worry about this case.
Although I don't know much about Lin Jixiang's methods, I am impressed just by looking at the moves that Luo Cong inadvertently reveals on weekdays: even if the tools of communication are leaked in front of the world, I am afraid that everyone will not think that these things similar to tools such as pastries are symbols for the Assassin to transmit messages to the upper family.
"Mrs. Jiuwenxi is clever and eloquent. The old minister has learned today. However, the old minister's investigation of the case has always been detailed, and I hope that Mrs. Xi will forgive the old minister's 'nitpicking'. ”
Li Si is not a person who can stun himself by being messed around.
I can't tell you about Lin Jixiang, so I can't tell Li Si in detail to clear my suspicions, so I can only continue to work hard to detour.
"Lord Li is afraid that it is not for the sake of the case, but for the personal relationship between the palace and Mrs. Li, right?"
I can't argue with it. I will come up with the next step of confusing the public and not distinguishing between right and wrong.
Li Si was very unconvinced when he heard this, and his whole body exuded a righteous aura of purity, and his expression was also grim and righteous.
"Mrs. Creek is distracted. The old minister is serving the king's orders, and he is handling the king's errand, and he will definitely handle the case impartially and have no selfish feelings. ”
He was full of displeasure at being "misunderstood" by me.
I knew in my heart what he was saying about justice, but I was also glad that I had temporarily turned to the right side of his words.
"I hope so." I replied "I don't believe it".
Li Si's heart was blocked, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he chose to change the topic.
"The old minister asked Madame again, Madame is also a princess of a country, and she will not know the rules and interests of the king who is not allowed to dance with swords and guns before driving, but why would Madame ask the dancers to dance with swords?"
The idea of dancing with a sword was Lin Jixiang, and I casually said to Fusu that I wanted the dancers to do this, I don't know how much effort Fusu has made to do this, in short, our plan is so smooth.
I can't say any of these things either.
"Have you ever listened to the repertoire that this palace has offered? Adults think, if it is a fake dance, can it be worthy of such a vast music? I asked Lees.
Li Si was not satisfied with my explanation, but this matter was a highly subjective and uncertain state, and he was not easy to refute.
Even though the lady mentioned the repertoire, the old minister couldn't help but want to say a few more words. Madame's words say 'I want to live another 500 years', the day of the incident is the king's birthday, Mrs. clearly mentions 'life and death', but there is a hint? "He looked me in the eye again.
I glanced at him contemptuously, avoiding the situation of staring at him.
"Huh! Is Master Li going to solve the case or making up rumors? Imagination can help solve cases, but you can't make up your own story to close the case. Adults are erudite, they don't understand the metaphor, right? ”
I rubbed the edge again.
Li Si persistently asked.
"Lao Chen asks again, does Madame really know nothing about the Qin Gong Lin Ru invited?"
Can I say I know what I know?
"When we meet, do you need some kind of penetration? Master Li, what exactly are you suspicious of? I looked at the aggressive Li Si in confusion.
Of course, I knew what he was suspecting, but the fact that he asked me so sideways means that he has no evidence that I am an accomplice, so he cannot explicitly state the fact that he suspects me.
Even if he couldn't say it clearly, Li Si was confused when he spoke.
"Before the case is resolved, everyone has suspicions."
He is not sure, and he will never deny it.
I understand his skepticism.
"That being the case, Lord Lao has investigated."
