Chapter 14: The Unexpected
After Jiang Lichen left, Li Yi began to ask everyone to search the house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Then Li Yi went out to find some people who were present last night to inquire about the case, half an hour later Li Yi returned to the study, but found that everyone found nothing, Li Yi followed with him, Li Yi first circled around, knocked and knocked, and found that it did not look like there was a secret room, which means that if the evidence still exists, it must be in this room.
"Zihan!" Li Yi thought about it and stopped Li Zihan.
"Wen Yong, what's wrong?"
"Zihan, what is your eldest brother's favorite thing in his usual life!"
"The eldest brother's favorite thing before his death was the books on his bookshelf and this pot of Junzi Orchid!"
"Oh!" Li Yi stepped forward and looked at Junzilan, then picked up Junzilan with both hands, pulled out the flower, and then smashed the flower pot hard.
"Wen Yong!" "Brother Li!" Li Zihan and Li Zixuan were shocked when they saw Li Yi fall on Junzilan, after all, this was his eldest brother's favorite before his death.
"Huh! Calm down! Li Yi comforted Li Zihan and Li Zimo, then squatted down and separated the soil in the flower pot, revealing a small box inside.
Li Yi picked up the small box and got up to wipe the soil off the box.
"It's... Nephew, how did you find it? Do you really know the Dao? Dai Shunde was not calm when he saw Li Yi find the evidence so quickly, after all, judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer had been looking for a long time!
"Hehe, what Taoism, there are no more than three kinds of things like hiding things, the first is the secret room, if the secret room is built well enough, it will be the safest way, but I just explored this house, and I didn't find a secret room or anything like that, because this study is independent, and there are no other rooms around, so if there is a secret room, it can only be underground, but where there is a secret room underground, knocking it from the ground with your hand, it will make a crisp sound, and the result is obvious, there is no secret room in this house. This second type is to hide in an inconspicuous place or where others will not touch it when they die, but it is easy to be destroyed by mistake if it is hidden in an inconspicuous place, and a place where others will not touch when they die, there is nothing in this house that cannot be touched except for the night pot! However, judging from the smell emanating from it, it is obviously a used night pot, so this method is also ruled out! Then there's only one! ”
"Is it the master's favorite thing in life?" Li Zihan suddenly realized.
"Bingou! That's right! Because the owner's favorite thing in life is also the best place for the owner to protect, and it is not easy to be noticed, such as this pot of gentleman's orchid! ”
"It's really wonderful, meticulous thinking, rigorous logic, chromatographic inference, witty mind, coupled with unfathomable knowledge, you are really only fifteen years old?" Dai Shunde found that he was about to go numb!
"Ahem! That case matters! It's important to handle the case! Let's take a look at the contents of this box first! Li Yi said and opened the box, only to see a letter and a handkerchief inside. Li Yi read the letter first, but there was no handwriting on the cover, and then opened the letter, but there were a bunch of numbers written on it, three numbers as a line, and there were more than a dozen lines. Li Yiyou looked at the handkerchief, which was obviously a woman's thing, and there was a rouge fragrance on it.
"What is this? An unknown letter and a handkerchief of unknown origin, just killed a person for this? Dai Shunde obviously felt that his IQ was not enough.
Li Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Li Zihan: "Zihan, which is your eldest brother's favorite book?" ”
"Huh? Wen Yong: Are you saying that these two things are not evidence? But can you hide something in a book? ”
"Don't worry about this for now, you can find out all your eldest brother's favorite books first!"
"It's not a hassle!" Li Zihan said as he took out a thick book from the shelf. "My eldest brother's favorite thing during his lifetime was the Confucian classics, and I liked this book of rites the most!"
Li Yi took the book, put it on the mat, and showed joy, thinking that the weight of the book was abnormal. Then he opened the book, but Li Yi only glanced at it and closed it, with a look of surprise on his face, and muttered: "How can it be such a thing!" Is it really? Impossible? Alas! What an unexpected thing! ”
"Brother Wen Yong, what are you talking about impossible? What's inside? "Because Li Yi opened it relatively quickly just now, and it was a little secret, everyone didn't see what was inside.
Li Yi was about to explain something when he heard a commotion outside. Li Yi knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and then took the book, letter and handkerchief, and said to everyone: "Okay! There's nothing to pay attention to in this house, the snakes outside have already been dispatched! It's time for us to close the net! Li Yi said and took the lead to walk outside.
Although everyone had questions, they also knew that now was not the time to ask, so they hurriedly followed.
Li Yi and the others went straight to the place where the sound was noisy, and Li Yi took a look around and saw that this place was actually Li Zimo's study and the only way out of the mansion. I saw Li Junqian and Jiang Lichen. Li Zihao and the others were all there, and there was a group of soldiers, who were kneeling around the person in the center.
Seeing Li Yi coming, Li Junqian immediately greeted him: "The virtuous nephew's method is really spiritual, just left the dust to tell the old man that you are trying to lure the snake out of the hole, I don't believe that you can succeed, I didn't expect to catch the murderer, the virtuous nephew is really a god!" Li Junqian is now relieved, although his son's death is still grieving, but being able to catch the enemy so quickly is enough to comfort Li Zimo's spirit in the sky, so the sadness in his heart has been diluted a lot.
"Uncle has won the prize!" Li Yi first humbled Li Junqian, and then shouted to the kneeling people: "Raise your head!" ”
Then Li Yi saw a pair of eyes full of hatred and a surprising face.
"Son! How are you! You've done such a hurtful thing, I... I..."When Dai Shunde saw that the face of the kneeling person was actually Dai Chunlin, he was immediately furious, and he didn't come up in one breath and fainted!
Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward to pinch people to rescue. After a while, Dai Shunde came to his senses, but he was in tears. "Brother Li, I'm sorry for you! The son of evil has done such a thing, and I... I'm here, but in this life, I will comfort the soul of my nephew in heaven! Dai Shunde said that he was going to commit suicide with a knife, but fortunately Li Yi was close to stop him.
Li Junqian was also angry with Dai Shunde's father and son at first, but the moment Dai Shunde committed suicide with a knife made him sober, he and Dai Shunde have been brothers for more than 20 years, Dai Shunde's personality he knows best, although he is kind, but he is indeed an upright and strong person, so Dai Shunde is absolutely unaware of this. "Shouzhi, what are you doing, even if you lose your life, it won't be your turn! We have been friends for more than 20 years, can I still not understand you? ”
"However, my son killed someone, and I can't escape the blame!" Dai Shunde is still in tears.
"The two uncles don't be impatient, I didn't say that Dai Chunlin was the murderer, what happened will be known after the trial!"
Li Yi was holding the victory at this time, his eyes were full of wisdom, and his confident temperament was exuding, and it could be seen from Li Xueyan's eyes how attractive Li Yi's temperament was at this time.
"What do you mean?" Dai Shunde, Li Junqian and Dai Chunlin on the ground said at the same time.
"Hehe, uncle, the case is almost clear, but it still needs to be tried again, so please trouble my uncle to be promoted!"
"Don't be so formal!"
"Uncle, this case is much more complicated than you think, and it is very involved, so let's go to court! However, the guards and others are not needed, and at this time I think it is better to keep it secret! ”
Li Junqian saw that Li Yi's face was serious, not like a joke, and he also felt that things seemed to be a big deal, so he quickly made arrangements. "Lichen Xian's nephew, please bring Dai Chunlin into the lobby of the state capital's yamen, and the others will guard the surroundings of the hall, don't let anyone enter, Shouzhi Xian brother will help me record, let's ascend to the hall immediately!"
"Zihan and Zihao should also go, they can help!" Li Yi smiled meaningfully and said.
Li Junqian glanced at Li Yi, and then nodded in agreement. Li Yi saw a hint of gloom in Li Zihao's eyes, and even a hint of threat, Li Yi became more confident and smiled.
Everyone agreed and scattered, and Dai Shunde cheered up when he heard that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
"Uncle, you go first, I, Zixuan and Xue Yan will go to do something first, and we'll go in a while!" Li Yi first stopped Li Zixuan and Li Xueyan, and then said to Li Junqian.
"Hmmm! Be careful! Li Junqian didn't ask much, and after a word of advice, he turned around and led people away.
"Brother Wen Yong, where are we going?" As soon as everyone left, Li Xueyan couldn't wait.
"You're in a hurry! Hehe! your boudoir! ”
"Ahh Brother Wen Yong, what are you doing in my boudoir! Li Xueyan asked with a blushing face.
"What do you think? To go to your boudoir, of course, is to fetch the Ancient Ink Sword! Or you can bring it out to me! ”
Li Xueyan looked at the bandaged hand and said, "It's better for you to go by yourself!" Speaking of that sword, I get angry, how can there be such a sword in the world, I'm so cute, I can't bear to do it, it's really boring, hum, what kind of master has what kind of sword! ”
Li Yi smiled awkwardly, knocked Li Xueyan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, lead the way!" ”
The three of them went all the way to the backyard of the Li Mansion. On the way, Li Yi asked Li Zixuan: "Zixuan, the layout of the house in this Li Mansion is quite simple!" ”
"How does Brother Li know that my father has always advocated frugality, so even the mansion is designed to be simple and generous, and my father said that although it is simple, it seems very atmospheric!"
"Huh! Uncle is still very discerning. Tell me about the layout of the house! ”
"Oh! The layout of the Li Mansion is very simple, entering the gate is the main hall, the left side of the main hall is where the father and his brothers live, the right side is where the people live, and the back is the women's house and garden! ”
"Yes! It's so easy! If I'm not mistaken, if anyone walks inside from the place where we caught the thief, it must be where your brother and father live! ”
Li Zixuan thought about it and said, "That's right! ”
When Li Yi heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even bigger. Not long after, Li Yi retrieved the ancient ink sword from Li Xueyan's boudoir, as for Li Xueyan's boudoir, Li Yi was not interested, it was just temporary! As for the ancient ink sword, it is still the same, pitch black, simple, atmospheric, but inconspicuous.
After Li Yi retrieved the sword, he went straight to the lobby of the mansion. "It's getting clear! It's almost over! ”
