Xi Lingyue pushed open the window in front of her and said, "And last night it was a northwest wind, and that gust of green smoke will not only not disperse out of the window, but will be blown into the southeast corner of the study." There happened to be an incense burner here, and it looked like the Assassin had turned into green smoke and was sucked by the incense burner. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a northwest wind happened to blow in her face, blowing away the broken hair on her sideburns and confirming her words. Xilingyue raised her hand to pin the broken hair behind her ear, and asked with a calm smile: "Servant Shot, Shizi, I wonder if Yunyi has explained clearly?" ”

"It's clear, but it's all your guess." Li Qi pointed at the tall guard and said, "This official will not suspect his subordinates for the sake of your words, you must come up with more evidence." ”

"Yes, yes, Servant Shot Mingjian!" The tall guard took the opportunity to avenge his grievances, "This lady is just talking nonsense!" Last night he jumped out of the window, and many of the guards followed, and if an Assassin escaped through this window, how could they not have seen it? ”

Xiling Yue then smiled: "Jumped out of the window and ran away? I wouldn't be so stupid if I were an assassin. It is important to know that the Jiedu Mansion is heavily guarded, and no matter how capable you are, you will not be able to escape, and the best way is naturally to mix in with a large number of guards. ”

As she spoke, she pointed out the window: "This study is surrounded by flowers and plants, forming a flower bush, which is an excellent hiding place. Coupled with the fact that it was getting late and the Assassin was dressed in black, as long as he managed to jump out of the window and fall into the flowers, he would not be noticed for a moment. At that time, everyone's energy was in the study, and the Assassin only had to take off his night clothes and return to the study, and he would be transformed from an Assassin to a protector. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room suddenly realized and looked at the diminutive guard. Among the first batch of guards who entered the house last night, he was the only one who did not wear armor, which was very much in line with what Xiling Yue said, he hid among the flowers after jumping out of the window, took off his night clothes and returned here.

When the short guard saw the situation in the house, he defended himself in a panic: "Wronged, unjust!" "Then how do you explain that you're the only one of the guards who isn't wearing armor?" Li Heng opened his mouth to question.

The short guard hesitated for a moment before he said in a slur manner: "Last night's humble duty was not supposed to be on duty, but I heard that ...... I heard that a distinguished guest came to the door, and I wanted to find a chance to meet him, so I ...... I came to the vicinity of the book building without permission. I didn't want to encounter someone assassinating, and I was afraid that the servant would shoot him, so I broke in in a hurry......"

"What a 'in a hurry'." Hearing this, Li Qi sneered.

As a vassal but wants to climb another high branch, everyone in the house also shows disdain.

Xilingyue didn't believe his words, and continued to say to Li Qi: "Servant, if my guess is correct, there must still be that set of night clothes buried in the flowers under this window. Yesterday was in a hurry, and today's search is strict, and the assassins will not have a chance to dispose of it. ”

"I'll send someone to find it." As soon as Li Heng spoke, he volunteered again, "No, no, I'll find it myself." ”

He couldn't even wait to go out of the door into the flowers, but went straight to the window in the southeast corner, and jumped out with his hands on the lattice, landing impartially among the flowers. The flowers were waist-high, just enough for an adult man to hide, not to mention the short guard's thin body, which was more than enough to hide.

This discovery made Li Heng very excited, and immediately ordered: "Come on, dig up this flower bush for me!" ”

In a short time, the servants arrived with shovels, dug only a shallow layer of the roots of the flowers, and dug out a black night coat from it. Li Heng personally carried it back to the study and threw it in front of the short guard.

This physical evidence directly confirmed Xilingyue's speculation.

"Father, I have just seen it, standing in front of that window, my vision is blocked, and I can't see the situation in the flowers at all, it is easy to hide people, it is a hidden danger."

Li Heng replied truthfully. Xiling Yue said: "This tall guard is half a foot taller than the prince, if he stands in the window and looks out, he should be able to see the situation in the flowers." If you change to a guard of similar stature and look at the window, you will know if he was shielding the Assassin last night. ”

After she mentioned this, everyone remembered that this guard was indeed tall, and the windowsill in the southeast corner was extremely high, and the blind spot that ordinary people could not see, maybe he could really see.

Li Heng was about to find someone to test, but Xilingyue stopped him again, and turned to the short guard and said, "And you, you went into the flowers last night, and the soles of your shoes must have been stained with a lot of mud." I guess you haven't had time to throw those shoes away, and if you don't admit it, I'll ask you to search your home. ”

Unexpectedly, the short guard actually smiled: "What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime?" The lady went to search. ”

"It seems that you are moving quite fast," Xiling Yue did not show weakness, "even if you throw away your shoes, there are still footprints." Just go to the flowers and compare them to know if you've ever been there. Also, if the beams are not swept for a long time, they will definitely fall into dust, and many footprints can be found. "Xiling Yue gave the fatal blow.

Hearing this, the short guard finally looked dead and stopped pleading. On the contrary, Li Qi was puzzled: "Fang Liang? You mean the Assassins hid on the beams of the house beforehand? ”

"That's right." Xiling Yue said firmly, "The assassin did not appear out of thin air, nor did he come out of nowhere, but he did his best to hide on the beam of this room in advance, put down a cigarette bomb first, and jumped off the beam while you and the distinguished guest were dodging, pretending to be transformed by green smoke." ”

Her words were so coherent that everyone in the room listened to her reasoning, and they were all convinced by the fact that they were in the scene yesterday, and the details were analyzed very well.

Seeing this, the tall guard laughed: "Okay, my plan is seamless, but it was cracked by a woman in the boudoir, what a pity!" ”

Li Heng immediately ordered: "Quick, quickly tie up the two of them!" ”

The short guard did not resist, allowing the rest of the men to drag him out the door. It was the tall guard who struggled a little before he was held down and dragged out, but his eyes stared at Xilingyue fiercely, and he scolded loudly: "Women are ignorant, and they help to abuse!" Li Qi was reckless in his military force and killed indiscriminately, without ......"

The voice stopped abruptly, someone covered his mouth, Rao is night is already dark outside, Xilingyue can still see his expression through the lights under the corridor, see his unwilling and distorted face, and see the eyes filled with resentment and anger. Xi Lingyue's heart suddenly pinched, she didn't have the joy of finding the assassin at all, she looked at the direction where the two guards disappeared, and only felt that a heart was like this vast night wind, unable to find the direction.

"Papapapa", suddenly there were three clappings, and it was Li Qi who got up again from the Luohan couch, with a look of admiration on his face: "The Jiang family's lady Bing Xue is smart, and the official really admires it, but I don't know how you deduced all this?" ”
