Chapter XXVIII: Discussion of the merits of the case

After going down to court on this day, Qiu Luoxue almost arrived at the imperial study with Xia Zimo.

"I heard that you found someone who helped Lu Wenxuan escape." Xia Zimo said as he walked back to the bookcase and sat down.

Qiu Luoxue also followed to the bookcase and replied, "Yes, but he died, and what's even stranger is that the person who killed him turned out to be the same killer as Fengyuelou."

Xia Zimo raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Luoxue and said, "Tell me what you think."

After getting permission, Qiu Luoxue took out a piece of paper from her arms and spread it out on Xia Zimo's bookcase, which was a context map of the relationship between the characters, which was drawn by her in a mess.

"Here's a diagram I made last night based on what's happened recently." Qiu Luoxue explained, she paused and looked at Xia Zimo and asked, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be able to understand this picture, right?"

Xia Zimo looked at the relationship diagram drawn by Qiu Luoxue very hard, the connections on it were messy, and said, "I really don't understand, you can just say it."

"That's right." Qiu Luoxue began to explain according to the drawing: "There are now two cases, one is the murder case of Fengyue Tower, and the other is the case of Lu Wenxuan's escape from prison, and these two cases seem to be unrelated......

Qiu Luoxue talked about her inference with great interest, but Xia Zimo interrupted her in a very calm tone at this time and said, "It's not unrelated."

"What?" Qiu Luoxue's brain was still stuck in the thinking just now, and it didn't come out completely.

Xia Zimo explained calmly: "Fengyue Mansion is an industry under the name of Marquis Lu, Lu Wenxuan is the son of Marquis Lu, and the connection point between these two cases is Marquis Lu, and they are both related to the Lu family."

"I know." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Then why did you just say that the two cases are not related?" Xia Zimo asked puzzled.

"Because I didn't think of this connection when I thought about it last night, but I thought of it later. Probably in ......"

Qiu Luoxue said and began to look for her picture, and finally found the name of Marquis Lu in an inconspicuous place, and circled it with a circle, dividing two arrows to point to Fengyue Tower and Lu Wenxuan.

"Here, this is it." Qiu Luoxue said, and then looked at Xia Zimo with a look of resentment and said, "Oh, what people are telling you now is my thinking logic last night, can you not interrupt my thoughts." It's not that I don't know, but I knew it a little late, alas~ really, how did you think of it all of a sudden. ”

"It's not hard to think of this." Xia Zimo said, as if it was a matter of course to think of this.

But when Qiu Luoxue heard this, she felt that the other party was doubting her IQ again, and her little temper immediately came up, and she took back the picture she drew from the bookcase and said: "Hehe, it's not difficult, you can think of it, since you are so smart, check it yourself, hum."

"Hey......" Xia Zimo grabbed the picture, put it on the bookcase again, and said, "I'm not saying you're not smart, it's ...... It's me who is too smart, ah, no, that's not what it means. Anyway, I just want to check with you, you go on, this time I'll listen carefully and stop talking. ”

Qiu Luoxue saw Xia Zimo's sincere attitude, and said a little proudly: "Okay, this is what you said, then I will reluctantly tell you."

Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue's smug and reluctant expression, smiled dotingly, and said, "Then you can reluctantly say it."

"Well, where did you just go?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Speaking of Fengyuelou's case, it doesn't seem to be related to Lu Wenxuan's case." Xia Zimo replied, looking at Qiu Luoxue dotingly throughout the whole process.

Xia Zimo sat on the dragon chair, Qiu Luoxue was standing, from time to time she would support the bookcase with her hand, dragging her chin with one hand, looking at the relationship chart for a while, and looking at Xia Zimo for a while. A little head just keeps spinning around. Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue, and felt that she was very cute talking so much now, and the doting gaze in her eyes became a little heavier.

"Two seemingly unrelated cases, but there is a fatal point." Qiu Luoxue's voice came into Xia Zimo's eardrums.

"The killer." He said.

"Yes, the killer in both cases is the same. What does this mean? Qiu Luoxue said again.

"Explain that the employer is the same." Xia Zimo replied.

When Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo were talking about the case, Nie Yuan had been waiting outside, and when Qiu Luoxue was in the court or entering the palace, he usually waited outside like this, and when he was bored, he would fly back and forth between the palace walls, or simply find a high place to lie down and rest. However, today is a little different from the past, he met Xu Zhonghang outside the palace.

"Why are you in the palace?" Nie Yuan slowly landed in front of Xu Zhonghang and asked.

"Why are you in the palace?" Xu Zhonghang did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"I'm a shadow guard, and it's normal to go in and out of the palace."

"I'm the imperial doctor, so it's not unusual to go in and out of the palace." Xu Zhonghang asked with a smile.

"But it's strange that the imperial doctors who serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion often appear in the palace." Nie Yuan said.

Although Xu Zhonghang didn't know why Nie Yuan suddenly said these words to him, he still kept smiling and said, "There are also patients in the palace."

"It's Concubine Duanniang." Nie Yuan said, this is an affirmative sentence.

Xu Zhonghang knew Nie Yuan's identity, and he also knew that his whereabouts could not be hidden from this shadow guard commander, so he said without hesitation: "That's right, you should also know, Concubine Duan is my sister-in-law, her father-in-law is not in the capital, and she is sick again, isn't it okay to come and see?"

"It makes sense." Nie Yuan said in a calm tone, "No matter if it is a big crime to send letters outside the palace, it is better to be careful in the future." ”

When Xu Zhonghang heard this, his face changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up and asked, "How do you know?"

After asking this sentence, he felt that this was naΓ―ve, and smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "That's right, there seems to be no shadow guard who doesn't know about the things in and out of the palace."

"The Shadow Guard only checks what is useful. I happened to meet the palace maid in front of the palace gate that day, and I asked someone to check it afterwards and found that the letter had arrived in your hands. Nie Yuan said.

"Since you saw it, why didn't you intercept it on the spot?" Xu Zhonghang asked.

"He said that maybe it was some people in the palace, there were people outside the palace who had a memory, and this kind of memory might be the mercy of God." Nie Yuan replied, thinking of what Qiu Luoxue said to him that day.

"Who said that?" Xu Zhonghang asked.

Nie Yuan didn't intend to tell him, and reminded: "In the future, if the shadow guard finds out that you have acted unfavorably to the palace or His Majesty, I will not hesitate to take action." So, don't do those things, at least I don't want to do anything to you right now. Imperial Doctor Xu is a smart person and should understand what I mean. ”

Xu Zhonghang naturally understood what he meant, but he didn't know why he suddenly reminded himself like this. You must know that Nie Yuan's coldness and shadow guard's ruthlessness are famous, why did he remind himself so much?

"Thank you Commander Nie for the reminder." Xu Zhonghang bowed to Nie Yuanxing and said, "There is also the fact that I didn't intercept the letter that day. ”

"Don't thank me, just because that person won't want to see me do anything to you." After Nie Yuan finished speaking, he flew away.

Xu Zhonghang is now becoming more and more curious, who is the person Nie Yuan is talking about? It's just that he hasn't thought about Qiu Luoxue for the time being, and if he thinks about it, he will know Nie Yuan's thoughts.

"It is said that the person most likely to help Lu Wenxuan is Marquis Lu, but he has no reason to kill the people of Fengyue Tower, that is his territory, Yu Ji is his person, and the account books are also handed over to Yu Ji for safekeeping, so he has no reason to do these things." Qiu Luoxue said a little bit along her logical thoughts.

"However, if it is not someone from the Marquis Lu faction, who is it? Why did he kill the people of Fengyue Tower while helping Lu Wenxuan? Qiu Luoxue said again, and it could be seen from her expression that she was very entangled.

"It's about books." Xia Zimo said.

"Yes." Qiu Luoxue snapped her fingers in front of Xia Zimo and said, the tangled expression on her face swept away, and said with a little pride: "I thought about it last night." Based on what has happened these days, it is concluded that the reason why the killer sent him did so must have something to do with the books. ”

"Marquis Lu's son is in prison, he only has such a son, he will definitely not let him die easily. wanted to save his son, but he was cut off his title again, and his daughter who was a concubine in the palace was also beaten into the cold palace, what would he do when he was isolated? "Qiu Luoxue's analysis is the way.

Xia Zimo received her question, and just wanted to answer like the previous few times, but he didn't expect Qiu Luoxue to say without waiting for him to answer this time: "That's right, he must have thought of the account book." Over the years, he has accumulated contacts in Beijing, bribed officials, and recorded every account in the account books, just so that he can use these people for his own use at critical moments. ”

"Now that something has happened to the Lu family, of course it's time to use this account book. So he used this account book to threaten others, and the person who was threatened knew that there was another account book, so he naturally panicked, and while pretending to agree to his request, he sent someone to find the account book. ”

"Then this person must be the key point of everything, find him, and the case will be solved." As she spoke, Qiu Luoxue excitedly pointed to the middle of the picture she had drawn, and a big greeting was drawn on it, and it was circled.

"So what? Who is this person? Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue quietly and asked in a very calm tone.

"So this person is...... It's ......" Qiu Luoxue said and instantly wilted, and said, "I haven't found out yet."

After a few seconds, she raised her head again, and said with these invitations and show-offs: "But this is already very good, it only took me one night to figure it out, and it is not easy."

"Well, good job." Xia Zimo praised.

"So can you give me the Night Pearl?" Qiu Luoxue asked expectantly.

"I can't." Xia Zimo refused without thinking about it.

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue looked at him dissatisfiedly and asked.

"I said that the case will be solved before you are given, but now, this person, I still don't know who it is? Find out this person, and the night pearl will give it to you immediately. Xia Zimo pointed to the question mark on the painting and said.

Qiu Luoxue instantly said like a deflated ball: "But how do I know who this person is? There's no way to check it at all. ”

"Since Marquis Lu is the beginning of everything, you might as well start with him." Xia Zimo said.
