Li Congyao's complexion froze, and he instructed Rong Xi to remove the crown of the red gold flying crane on his head. He spread his hair apart again, and only took a jade button and fastened it behind his head.

Only then did he pull off his clothes and sit down: "Say it." ”

Jun Qinglan didn't speak, her eyes quickly swept over Jiang Yufan's face: "Now? ”

Li Congyao said lightly: "Jiang Baihu is not an outsider. ”

Jiang Yufan's heart suffered heavy blows again and again today. However, Li Congyao's words instantly healed the damage caused by Jun Qinglan and Yuan Bao in his heart.

"That's it, I'm a very important person to this case." Jiang Yufan straightened his chest and back, looking at Jun Qinglan, his eyes full of pride.

Jun Qinglan looked at him seriously: "Can Master Jiang guarantee that every word he heard today, once he leaves this room, he won't mention it to anyone?" ”

The woman's eyes were as bright as stars, light as water, but with unquestionable strength. It's hard to underestimate.

"I ......." Jiang Yufan was infected by her eyes, and his heart gradually became heavy: "I can guarantee it!" ”

"Okay." Jun Qinglan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I believe you." ”

"After sorting out all the evidence obtained in these days, it can already be determined that the county lord is a scapegoat who has been framed."

As she spoke, Jun Qinglan spread out several on-site drawings drawn by Jiang Yufan on the table one by one.

"On the night of the day of the crime, lowly duty, Rong Han and the county lord were all fascinated by drugs. It was at that time that the county lord was secretly sent to Fulai's room. At that time, Fulai was also drugged, and he didn't know that there was another person on the bed. After the man put the group leader next to Fu Lai, he stabbed Fu Lai with the county lord's hairpin, and then stuffed the hairpin into the county lord's hand. And Fulai and the county lord are unaware of everything in the house because they have been drugged. This is also the reason why there is no trace of struggle on Fulai's body, and he dies of blood in his sleep without the slightest expression of discomfort. ”

"How is that possible?" Jiang Yufan pouted: "You yourself said that such a thin hairpin can't cause a wound that is difficult to heal." Moreover, in addition to the fact that there are no traces of a fight in Fulai's room, there are no secret passages, but the doors and windows are locked from the inside and are intact. Dali Temple and Jinyi Wei searched the house, except for Fulai and the county lord, there was no trace of a third person present. If there is such a person, how can he escape if he kills someone? Even if you have wings and fly out, you have to have a slit. Can he turn into a puff of smoke? ”

"He doesn't need to turn into a smoke, he just needs to walk out of the door normally."

"The door is well bolted. When Dali Temple was the first to arrive at the scene, there was still a broken half of the door latch on the ground, and the other half was still on the door. Explain that the door was closed before they arrived, how could the man have closed the door from the outside after he walked out? ”

"Could it be a thin piece of bamboo or a blade inserted into the crack of the door, and the latch is turned around and closed little by little? With patience, it's actually not that hard. Rong Xi opened his mouth with a deep groan.

"There is no such possibility." Jun Qinglan said: "The houses provided by Puning Temple to lay people and workers have special treatment for the windows and gates, and the gaps are particularly narrow and almost invisible. There can't be such a thin blade in the world, and even if there is, it will definitely be stuck in, and it won't work out at all. ”

"That's why." Jiang Yufan said: "What you just said is impossible to be true. I had also inspected the roof tiles and there were no signs of loosening, so I couldn't have escaped from the roof. All the evidence indicates that there were only Fukura and Lord Asaka in the room at that time. ”

"Have you ever heard a saying that it's dark under the lamp?" Jun Qinglan said slowly.

Jiang Yufan frowned fiercely, not understanding what she meant by suddenly saying this. Of course he knew that it was dark under the lamp, and he was talking about when you entered a house with a lamp on, and you could see everywhere, but not under the lamp. But what does this have to do with Fulai's case?

"I went to the room where the crime occurred again today. Half of the latch that fell on the ground has been taken away and sealed by Dali Temple, and the other half of the latch is still on the door. I looked closely at the half-section of the latch, and saw that the ports on the edge of the latch were uneven, but the middle was actually quite smooth. This way of breaking is enough to prove that it was not caused by a strong impact, but was first cut to a certain position with a wooden saw, and then broken by hand, and then sorted out. After deliberately making superficial inconsistencies, the scene was faked. So....... ”

Jun Qinglan's voice paused slightly: "At that time, when Dali Temple arrived at the scene, the door of Fulai's room was actually not locked at all. ”

The latch had already been tampered with, and when everyone saw the tightly closed door, they would naturally think that the door was tied at that time. When they entered, they saw the half-latch that had fallen to the ground, and no one could suspect that the door was not locked at all. Add to that the brutality of the murder scene, who would notice such a trivial matter? The so-called darkness under the lamp, regardless of the eyes, is exactly this truth.

The murderer took advantage of people's minds to create such an illusion. made everyone convinced that Li Xueyi killed Fulai.

Jiang Yufan took a breath: "If you say that these things are true, then the murderer's mind is too terrifying." But I remember that the record of opening the door in the file of Dali Temple is very clear, saying that the door was closed and bolted at that time. It took a great deal of force to knock the door open, and the person who broke through the door almost fell into the door because of the strength of the hard impact. If...... If....... ”

Jun Qinglan hooked the corner of her lips slightly: "If what is recorded in the file is not wrong, then when you knock open the door, the first person to enter the room must be related to the murderer!" ”

The latch in the Blessing Room is an illusion that has been broken down long ago, but this seemingly exquisite layout has a fatal weakness. Anyone who reaches for a door and pushes it will immediately see that the door is actually open. The only way for the murderer to convince people that the door was locked was to be the first to go ahead of everyone else and pretend to knock it open. After everyone enters the house, who cares if the latch is tampered with?

"Remember the first person who entered the room?" Jun Qinglan looked at Jiang Yufan, his memory never disappointed.

"Yes......." Jiang Yufan's eyes revealed a bit of indescribable shock: "It's a monk from Puning Temple." ”

Jun Qinglan frowned slightly: "There are many monks in Puning Temple. ”

"I don't know him." Jiang Yufan said: "I only saw that the monk was called Xuansu in the dossier. ”

"If it's Xuansu......." Li Congyao half-squinted his eyes and said lightly: "You don't have to look for him, he is already dead." ”

"What?" The crowd was taken aback.

Li Congyao sat upright on the chaise longue under the window, and there seemed to be something in his long and narrow phoenix eyes that were broken into ashes: "Five days ago, a little monk in Puning Temple who was fetching water fell into the river and drowned. That person is Xuansu. ”

Where in the world are there so many coincidences? In normal times, it is not uncommon for an individual to fall into the water and drown. However, when this person is involved in the Fulai case, it is completely different.

"That's the thing." Jiang Yufan said slowly: "I have seen the case record reported by Puning Temple in Dali Temple, and it is determined that it is a mistake, and there is no doubt about it. ”

Jun Qinglan frowned, why did the recent cases in the capital take away many lives one after another. This is true of the case of hiding the body in the dry well, and the same is true of the Fulai case. She didn't like it, she deserved to die for her disregard for human life!

"Shall we go to Puning Temple tomorrow to check this Xuansu?" Jiang Yufan said: "This person must have something to do with Fulai. You can't just let the trail break from him. ”

"No need." Jun Qinglan shook her head: "I don't know if there are any clues after Xuan Su's death, but I already know who killed Fu Lai." I think Xuan Su probably died at the hands of that man. ”

Who is it? Jiang Yufan's whole body lit up, and half of his body moved closer to Jun Qinglan.

"Now that we already know that the so-called secret room murder in the Fulai case was carefully faked, it is not difficult to see that the county lord of Chaoxia was framed by someone to blame."

"That being said, the murder weapon at the scene of the crime was indeed in the hands of the county lord. What evidence did you find to prove that the wound on Fulai's chest was not caused by the county lord's hairpin? ”

"Not really."

Jiang Yufan looked at Jun Qinglan expectantly, but what he got was such an answer that was very different from what he imagined. His complexion collapsed involuntarily.

"I don't need to prove whether Fulai was injured under the county lord's hairpin, because the wound caused by the hairpin is not fatal enough. I just need to find out why Fulai is bleeding from such a small wound. He died of blood loss, not by a hairpin! ”

As she spoke, Jun Qinglan took out a small oiled paper bag from her bosom and unfolded it on the table. Jiang Yufan glanced at it, and his stomach was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, and he almost vomited. He recognized that the paper bag contained the silk-like object that Jun Qinglan had taken out of Fulai's stomach.

"This is what I got from Fulai's stomach when I conducted an autopsy in the ice cellar of Dali Temple that day, and both Jiang Xiaoye and Miao Shaoqing can prove the provenance of this thing." Jun Qinglan pointed to the contents of the paper bag and said; "It's a rare herb called passionflower. The prince should remember that the humble position once mentioned this thing to you. ”

"Yes." Li Congyao nodded.

Jun Qinglan had long suspected that Fulai had the habit of taking passion flower all year round, but she did not find any surviving passion flower in Fulai's home. It was in search of the source of the passion flower that she boarded the black market ship, where she learned the secrets of the mandala.

"This thing ......." Jun Qinglan stared at him and said, "It is enough to prove the cause of Fulai's death." ”
