In the past few days, although Sun Shaozong has done a lot of 'idle things', he naturally does not dare to delay the major case.

Through the investigation of past case files, as well as the remaining evidence and testimony, some new evidence that is not absolute, but can be called substantial, has also been roughly sorted out.

At this time, listening to Emperor Guangde's question, he unhurriedly asked for a pen, and drew a topographic map of the crime scene on the iron net mountain with a stroke on the low table in the corner.

After thinking about it, he made up a few figures of physical evidence in the blank space below the side, and finally used a cinnabar pen to circle all the key points with the mark, and then asked Qiu Shi'an, the eunuch in charge of the palace, to hold it and forward it to the emperor's table.

"Your Majesty."

Sun Shaozong returned to his original place, bowed down and said: "The minister sorted out the previous case file and found that most of the officials in charge of this case were arguing about whether the case was manslaughter or murder, so the minister thought that the first thing to verify was this. ”

"The minister carefully examined all the testimonies and exhibits for this reason, and finally found some clues."

"That Wei Ruolan loves to hunt, and there is no shortage of possessions at home, so he naturally has good horses and saddles - even the bows and arrows he uses when hunting are divided into several styles."

"And because she went hunting in the mountains and forests that day, what Wei Ruolan carried was a special three-edged arrow, with long feathers, wooden poles, and heavy clusters, which were known for being 'stable, accurate, and ruthless', but the range was inferior to ordinary bows and arrows."

"This is naturally because the mountains are densely wooded, and no matter how far the range is, it is difficult to exert an effect, but it is better to pursue precision and stability—the same is true of the bows and arrows used by the ministers when they conquered the Wuxi barbarians."

"At the time of the crime, the arrow came out through the forest and hit the cowboy more than 20 steps away."

"The ministers have ordered people to investigate, and the trees on both sides of the mountain road are relatively sparse, even if they go deeper than ten steps away, they can still clearly see the pedestrians on the road."

"It is not until you go deeper into the forest that you can see more than 20 steps, or even 30 steps away, that your vision may be obscured by the trees and you will not be able to see the conditions on the road clearly."

"If you say that you shot by mistake in the woods, the distance must be at least fifty paces away."

"In addition, Niu Gongzi was descending the mountain at the time, and the angle of the arrow was from the bottom up, so it was even more difficult."

"According to the results of the experiments of the ministers, Wei Ruolan can only shoot Niu Gongzi fifty or sixty steps away if he throws with the maximum bow force."

"This is obviously unreasonable!"

This analysis is reasonable and well-founded, and it is much more clever than the 'motivation theory' that was speculated out of thin air during the previous triage of the three divisions.

Although among them, it is inevitable that there are reasons why the previous officials were unable to distinguish what to do, so they deliberately slacked off work.

But Sun Shaozong's inference in simple terms was still praised and affirmed by Emperor Guangde.

"So to speak."

Then he took the opportunity to ask: "Then Wei Ruolan really deliberately shot the Niu family's son?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "After Weichen completed these tests, he also did some other verifications. ”

"Although it doesn't pay attention to the range, the power of the short bow used by Wei Ruolan is still far beyond that of ordinary hunting bows - and the special long feather arrow is much more powerful than ordinary arrows."

"If you use pork as a target within thirty paces, shoot it with Wei Ruolan's hunting bow, and the meat should be four to five inches—if it is blocked by the ribs, it will plummet to about two inches."

"Converted to Niu Gongzi's thinner body, if he is basically not blocked by ribs, every arrow can come out of his body."

"According to the autopsy records of three successive examinations, the arrow in which Niu Gongzi was hit was about two inches and four minutes into the flesh, piercing the heart and causing death, and did not hurt the ribs."

"And to reduce this kind of damage, the strength of the hunting bow must be reduced to six to seventy."

"So another suspicion arises: if he was planning to shoot Niu Gongzi, why didn't he pull the bowstring to the fullest, but only used six or seven points of strength?"

Because of what Sun Shaozong said, Emperor Guangde looked at the topographic map and couldn't help but get into the play.

After listening to what he said, he nodded involuntarily, and muttered in his mouth: "If you are afraid of losing your head, it is still possible to use only eight or nine points of strength, these six or seven points of strength are indeed unreasonable." ”

"Your Majesty."

Sun Shaozong slapped his ass and continued: "After the minister discovered this suspicion, he ordered someone to find the short bow used by Wei Rong, a servant of the Wei family, and after a simple repair, he tested it according to the previous one. ”

"The result is similar to Niu Gongzi's injury, and the full bow into the flesh is about two inches to two inches and five minutes!"

"So ......"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Indeed, as Wei Ruolan said, that arrow is actually from Wei Rong's hand?" ”

"Your Majesty."

Sun Shaozong said helplessly: "After all, inference is just inference, and it can't be ironclad evidence, not to mention that after two years, maybe there are some factors in it, and Weichen has not been able to deduce it, and it is not known." ”

When Emperor Guangde heard this, he finally showed a smile on his face, stroked the beard on his chin, and nodded: "This is the attitude that the chief official of Dali Temple should have-Aiqing just needs to inquire carefully, no matter who comes to the door, he doesn't need to pay attention to it!" ”

This naturally refers to the Niu family, but how did the emperor know that Sun Shaozong had actually accepted a 'bribe' from the Wei family?

At that moment, the monarch and the minister replied a few more words, and Emperor Guangde waved his pen on the chapter, which was transferred from Qiu Shi'an to Sun Shaozong.

This is the emperor's meaning of 'sending off'.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong put away the recital, bowed a few steps backwards, and turned out of the warm pavilion in front of the door.

Originally, according to the rules, the eunuch who led the way was to go out of the palace directly from Donghua Gate.

It's just that Sun Shaozong just said, 'Youlao', and the eunuch who led the way hurriedly laughed and said: "Gonggong Li has just explained, let the little one lead you over to talk, this is about a time to come, adults hurry up and come with me!" ”

said, but led Sun Shaozong to the corridor.

There is the side gate of Jingren Palace, which is more convenient than the main gate, but because the warm pavilion is built near the main gate, it is the main gate that is just gone.

Sun Shaozong had been here before, and knew that there were no taboos along the way, so he didn't think much about it, and followed the eunuch into the corridor.

Seeing that he was walking all the way, it was not far from the side door, and a sneaky little eunuch suddenly came to him, and when he saw Sun Shaozong and the others, he turned his head and left in a panic.

In this deep palace inner courtyard, who knows what's in it?

Sun Shaozong naturally didn't squint, as if he didn't see it.

Why did the tree want to calm the wind, but the eunuch who led the way saw this, but opened his mouth and shouted: "Where are the monkey cubs?" Give me back! ”

The little eunuch was also a thief, so he pretended not to hear it and left quickly, or stopped to prevaricate a few words, and the matter passed away.

He paused, turned back stiffly, but subconsciously protected the hattori with his hand - and this protection, a small burden immediately appeared under the robe.
