Chapter 36 The mystery of unsolved cases

In the face of Pan Lao's intimidation, Luo Xiaotian naturally did not squint and was calm.

Pan Lao saw that his eyes were determined and not afraid. He took a few steps back and slowly paced back and forth in front of him, thinking and hesitating.

While he was still hesitating, Luo Xiaotian hurriedly continued: "Old Pan, if you don't believe it. You can call Shen Kun to ask, he is timid, so he naturally says everything. What's more, I have this official position, so I will naturally take more care of Pan Lao's side, and the court will harass you less here, which will be beneficial and harmless to you. ”

Pan Lao stopped, the doubts in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he threatened: "If you lie to me, even if I can't do anything about you, it will be more than enough to treat your friends around!" ”

"Pan Lao rest assured that he will do what he says. Please raise your hand and let my friend go first! ”

Pan Lao turned around and gave a look to the black-robed warrior behind him, and motioned for him to take the person out. The black-robed warrior nodded in response and walked out of the main hall.

"Please sit down, drink tea first and wait." Pan Lao was polite to Luo Xiaotian.

Luo Xiaotian arched his hand: "Thank you Elder Pan!" ”

The two sat on the left and right, tasting the fragrance of tea.

Before the cup of tea was finished, the black-robed warrior had already taken Shen Kun to the main hall.

Luo Xiaotian got up to meet him, checked whether he was injured, and after confirming that he was okay, he hurriedly said goodbye to Pan Lao.

Out of the dungeon.

Shen Kun, who was in shock, told how he was kidnapped by the black-robed warrior.

Luo Xiaotian patted him on the back and comforted: "Don't worry, he won't dare to do this." ”

Shen Kun asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"Because he's a smart man, he'll be begging us for help soon. Wait and see, he will be of my use! Luo Xiaotian's face showed a mysterious smile.

Shen Kun didn't understand, but he chose to believe Luo Xiaotian.

Luo Xiaotian did not live up to his trust, otherwise, he would not have rushed to rescue him.

Since entering Beijing, Luo Xiaotian has made up his mind: he no longer wants to passively accept those unknown dangers, as long as it is an obstacle that stands in his way, he will spare no effort to clear it.

He knew very well that in this Kyoto city, only the weak would be compassionate.

……

After the rain, the streets of Kyoto are wet and fresh, and there are many fewer pedestrians.

Several mysterious figures behind him attracted Luo Xiaotian's attention. He didn't squint, as if no one was around, and walked forward on his own, the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer.

Shen Kun saw his strange expression, and asked blankly, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's okay, accompany me to investigate the case first."

"Investigating the case? ......" Shen Kun stopped and muttered to himself.

The two came to Li Wenyi's mansion.

When the servant saw him coming, he didn't even report it, so he directly invited him into the house, and ran all the way to report to the master's house first.

Before arriving at the main hall, Li Wenyi hurriedly went out to greet him, full of spring breeze.

"Lord Xiaotian, don't say anything in advance when you come. If there is something to do, just ask someone to inform me, and I should go to the house to meet him, how can I be a scholar and a minister, and I will come in person? ”

As soon as they met, Li Wenyi used his set of officialdom etiquette to be polite. To put it mildly, it is flattery.

Luo Xiaotian didn't eat this, he stretched out his hand to Li Wenyi, shook his head and said, "I don't care what you do to others, don't do this to me." Otherwise, I'll go back. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Wenyi said repeatedly: "Eh...... Don't, don't, don't. Lord Xiaotian, please go inside and drink tea. ”

Shen Kun behind him saw his attitude towards Luo Xiaotian, and his face was full of question marks: Lord Xiaotian? Shizi Qinchen?

After entering the main hall, Li Wenyi hurriedly asked someone to watch the tea, and he was very excited. I broke my leg and looked for a relationship promotion everywhere. Unexpectedly, this celebrity around the emperor came to visit in person today.

Li Wenyi personally delivered the tea to him, took a few steps back, and said respectfully: "Lord Xiaotian, please drink tea." ”

Luo Xiaotian pulled him to his side and said with a smile: "Commander Li, you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

Li Wenyi was a little uncomfortable, he had met countless high-ranking officials, and he had never seen such an unofficial authority.

Luo Xiaotian saw that he was silent, and asked bluntly: "Commander Li, seeing that you are so restrained and embarrassed, how can you help me investigate the case and make meritorious contributions with me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Wenyi was surprised and surprised, and subconsciously flattered: "Lord Xiaotian, the lower officials are fine." As long as you can take me, the lower officials are willing to only look forward to the adults. ”

"That's important, you and I work together, we don't have to be separated from each other, and we don't have to be like this. I came here today to invite you to join me in supervising the Dongmen bombing case. ”

Li Wenyi was sincere, and said dignifiedly: "If Lord Xiaotian needs it, the lower officials will definitely live up to their love and take the lead." ”

"I ask you, has anyone else been to the site of the explosion besides you? After that night, who took the initiative to find you? Luo Xiaotian asked.

"After the incident, I ordered someone to seal the warehouse tightly, and no one else has been to the scene except for the people from Dali Temple." Li Wenyi thought for a moment, paused, and then said: "Regarding who has looked for me, the people from the Prince's Mansion and King Ye have been here, as well as the people from Dali Temple. ”

"Why are the princes and the king's people looking for you?" Luo Xiaotian continued to ask.

Li Wenyi's expression was embarrassed, and he said, "This ...... I can't say, it's all about promotions anyway......"

Luo Xiaotian didn't want to know more about this, so he stood up, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Accompany me to the scene!" ”

Li Wenyi nodded hurriedly and said, "I am willing to serve the adult." ”

……

When he arrived at the scene, Luo Xiaotian was quite distressed: the heavy rain for several days had washed away the clues at the scene.

He couldn't help but sigh: It seems that the biggest obstacle to this case is not the forces in Kyoto, but God.

Since you are here, let's investigate carefully first, in case there are any clues left, it is not necessarily.

With his otherworldly memories, the content of those detective novels and TV series should be more than enough to deal with this premeditated case and play some role.

The heavy rain washed away the scene in chaos, and it was still a little difficult to find useful clues.

Shen Kun looked at the mess and asked the two, "How do you investigate this case?" ”

Li Wenyi didn't have a clue, turned his head to look at Luo Xiaotian, and put all his hopes on him.

Luo Xiaotian didn't seem to hear it, and was carefully searching around.

At this time, he frowned slightly, staring at a corner full of ashes, a few unburned fragments of the case, scattered in a mess.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.

After some inspection, he asked Li Wenyi: "This is the rest area of the warehouse personnel, can there be casualties that night?" ”

Li Wenyi immediately replied: "Three people in the powder magazine were killed on the spot, and the explosion also destroyed a number of houses and killed more than a dozen people. ”

"Where is the body?" Luo Xiaotian asked as he turned over the residue.

"It has been taken away by the people of Dali Temple." Li Wenyi replied.

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes fixed on a small patch of white shredded paper in the pile of debris.

He carefully twisted the white piece of paper, brought it to the light, and held it up in front of his eyes to carefully observe the lines.

"It's a complete letterhead. This kind of paper is expensive, the craftsmanship is extremely high, and it is exclusively for the royal family, and the people who can use it must be the royal family and nobles. ”

This paper is in excellent condition, and he can remember it at a glance, and he has seen it many times in the Bei'an Palace, so he naturally knows the source.

He furrowed his brow, exhaled, looked around, and shook his head. Then, he put away the shredded pieces of white paper and continued to rummage through the scraps.

Seeing this, Li Wenyi and Shen Kun hurriedly squatted down to look for it.

Luo Xiaotian reminded the two: "Don't move too much, so as not to miss clues." ”

"Yes—" The two replied in unison.

The three of them searched, but Shen Kun's waist could no longer withstand it, and he got up with difficulty, crying out in pain. Li Wenyi also found nothing, and he couldn't wait to demolish the scene.

Looking at the mess, Luo Xiaotian had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and said to the two: "Withdraw!" Go to Dali Temple to see the condition of the corpse. ”

As soon as he heard that he wanted to see the corpse, Shen Kun's whole body was resisting, and he kept waving his hand and said, "I'd better go back first, I faint when I see it, and I can't eat for a few days." ”

Luo Xiaotian couldn't help but be amused by him: "Look at your guts, it's hard for you, you go back." ”

Then he said to Li Wenyi: "Take me to Dali Temple." ”

"Yes! My lord. Li Wenyi replied.

At present, the scene is washed by the rain and is in chaos, and it is difficult to obtain valuable clues, so the only way to go to Dali Temple is to go first.

……

In fact, before Luo Xiaotian's investigation, the forces of all parties had been dormant for a long time, and once they got favorable clues, they knew about it first. For Luo Xiaotian, even if it is an afterthought.

After all, all forces want to use the bombing case to bring down their opponents - complicity such as hiding gunpowder, and once convicted, they will not be able to turn over.

And the one who acted the fastest and grasped the most facts of the case was the princeling party. He has many minions, and most of the ministers of the court support him.

At this moment, inside the Prince's Mansion.

Lin Pingrui hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

The prince, who was still practicing the sword, saw him hurriedly come in and stopped the long sword he was waving. walked up to Lin Pingrui and asked, "Pingrui entered the mansion in a hurry, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Pingrui looked joyful, and couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are the latest clues in the East Gate bombing case." ”

"Oh? Can the king be convicted of rebellion? The prince asked quietly.

Lin Pingrui looked embarrassed, and paused before saying, "Your Highness, it depends on whether you want King Ye to be convicted, or the King of Bei'an." ”

The crown prince frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Why did Ping Rui say this?" ”

"Prince, this matter is a long story. A few months ago, my people accidentally discovered the powder magazine hidden at the east gate, and they did not catch the snake by surprise without seeing the mastermind behind it. It wasn't until the night of the fire at the city gate that the gunpowder exploded, and the owner was in a hurry and sent someone to clean up the mess. As he spoke, Lin Pingrui's eyes flashed cunning from time to time.

From this point of view, the eyeliner of the Bei'an Wangfu and the Qingyang Marquis Mansion should also be his people.

The crown prince was also shocked, it turned out that this Lin Pingrui City Mansion was so deep. If you don't see a rabbit or a hawk, you have been investigating in secret, but you have only revealed it until now.

The more shrewd people are, the more they are feared by smart people, and the same is true for the crown prince. Lin Pingrui can help himself today, and as he knows more, he will also eat himself.

After thinking about it, the prince said to him: "This matter is left to you to deal with, and this palace does not dare to make assumptions." ”

After receiving his reply, Lin Pingrui smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness is waiting for good news." ”
