The night was deep, and the cold wind was howling outside the attic.

The atmosphere in the room was even more weird, those cooks were silent, Su Wuming stood there, there seemed to be nothing to say, Nangong Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and she wanted to get angry again.

But at this time, King Di suddenly looked at Su Wuming and asked, "Does Master Su have something to say?" ”

The corners of Su Wuming's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "Princess Kong was killed, and Xia Guan was really sad in his heart, but as for the fact that my cook said just now that Xia Guan might be a murderer because he went to the kitchen, Xia Guan did not dare to agree. ”

King Di's expression did not change in any way, and he asked, "What do you say?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Actually, there are many reasons, first of all, I went to the kitchen in person, but I just wanted to make a dish for my wife and friends to taste, and there was no intention of poisoning, not to mention, when Xia Guan first came to Di Wangfu, he had never seen this Princess Kong at all, so how could Xia Guan have the heart to murder?" Moreover, Xia Guan deals with murder and murder all day long, and Xia Guan has seen a lot of various murder methods, if Xia Guan really wants to murder Princess Kong, he will definitely not use such obvious and clumsy means to make people suspect his own family at a glance. ”

When he said these words, Su Wuming looked up at the cook who had just stood up to speak, he said this, it was nothing more than for his own life, but he shouldn't confess Su Wuming's affairs, although Su Wuming was broad-minded, he would never allow people to fall into the ground.

Su Wuming looked at the cook's eyes, King Di saw it in his eyes, but although he saw it in his eyes, King Di didn't react, he only asked coldly: "So, what does Master Su think of this murder?" ”

Su Wuming bowed his hand slightly, and said: "The person the murderer wants to kill is actually not Princess Kong, in fact, the murderer can kill anyone, but Princess Kong happened to ask for a bowl of lotus seed soup at that time, which led to being poisoned; And the reason why this is the case is that the murderer saw the lower official enter the kitchen once, so he thought about poisoning people and then blaming the lower official. When he said this, Su Wuming couldn't help but sigh again: "There are a lot of cases under the officials, but I didn't expect to be suspected today." ”

Although Su Wuming's words are vague, if you think about it carefully, you can also understand that it is nothing more than someone who doesn't want him to continue to stay in King Di's mansion, or that person is not even like Su Wuming to take refuge in King Di, so he came to such a trick to say that the anti-plot is not a counter-plot.

How smart King Di is, he naturally understands this, and after understanding this, his cold face suddenly showed a trace of doubt and a trace of panic, in fact, no matter who understands the purpose of this murder, he will be confused and panicked, because King Di wants Su Wuming to take refuge in him, outsiders are only afraid that few people know, but now there are people who want to stop Su Wuming from taking refuge in themselves, so this person or the supporters behind this person want to be at odds with King Di, and he killed people to blame Su Wuming, which is to weaken King Di's strength.

And this murderer is obviously in the palace of King Di.

It's just that King Di doesn't understand, who would regard him as a great enemy, near this Hangzhou City, that prince or high-ranking official wants to go against him?

Could it be that the murderer is the emperor's man? When King Di thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, he felt that this situation was unlikely, if the emperor wanted to stop Su Wuming from taking refuge in King Di, there were many ways, just one sentence and one order, why provoke by killing people?

If it wasn't the emperor, then who would it be? King Di suddenly felt that his brain was very messy, and many things couldn't be connected for a while, and at this time, he glanced at Su Wuming, who looked calm at this time, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Seeing Su Wuming like this, King Di's heart suddenly moved, so he spoke: "What Lord Su said is very true, people like you can't do anything to kill people, and this king has always believed in you very much, since this is the case, this murder case will be investigated by you." ”

After listening to King Di's words, Su Wuming did not show joy, because for him, he suddenly felt that his choice was right, judging from King Di's reaction just now, he could not be happy and angry, which also means that his city government is still not enough, and if he wants to win in this imperial power struggle, it is not possible to do without a city government, and he is afraid that the consequences will be worrying.

Although it can be seen that King Di is not a good master, the murder of King Di Mansion should still be investigated, and at this time, Su Wuming also has the same thoughts as King Di in his heart, who wants to blame himself for the crime, why does he want to provoke the relationship between him and King Di?

Originally, Su Wuming didn't want to have anything to do with King Di, so the occurrence of the murder was beneficial to him, but the murderer should never put Su Wuming together, so that Su Wuming would be suspected of the murderer.

Therefore, this made Su Wuming very annoyed, and he must find out the murderer.

After King Di handed over the murder to Su Wuming, he took people away, and the entire attic did not have the existence of King Di, and suddenly the atmosphere was much lighter, those cooks were still kneeling, Su Wuming snorted coldly, glanced at the cook who told him about entering the kitchen, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The cook was terrified at this time, and said tremblingly, "Little one...... The little one is called Fan Paw. ”

Su Wuming glanced at him coldly, and then continued to ask, "Who made that bowl of lotus seed soup tonight?" ”

"Yes...... It's small. ”

Hearing this, Su Wuming and the others finally understood why at that time, this cook was so nervous and even did not hesitate to betray Su Wuming, it turned out that he was afraid that this matter would be investigated, and he was the most guilty.

However, at this time, Su Wuming had no intention of retaliating against this Fan pawn, after all, he believed that this Fan pawn would never dare to poison the food, so the murderer was someone else, and at this time, he needed to know who the murderer was from Fan Zu.

"The official came to ask you, when you were making lotus seed soup, were you in the kitchen all the time?"

Fan Zu hesitated a little, and shook his head after a long time: "No...... No, because the lotus seed soup needs to be boiled slowly, which is very time-consuming, so I went out for a while. ”

"Where have you been and how long have you been?"

Fan Zu hesitated a little again, Su Wuming saw this, and snorted coldly: "What, you are the one who poisoned the lotus seed soup?" ”

Fan Zu shook his head again and again, and then replied: "The villain has a good friend in the palace, and when she was boiling lotus seed soup, the villain went to see her, and it took about a stick of incense to take place." ”

A stick of incense is not a short time, enough for a person to run into the kitchen to poison, after asking the specific time that Fan Zu said, Su Wuming waved his hand slightly, let those cooks leave, those cooks saw this, their hearts were overjoyed, and they ran out of the attic again and again, for fear that they would run late, and they would be regarded as murderers by Su Wuming.

The cold wind howled into his ears, Su Wuming and the others left the attic with Nie Zhiwen, the wind blew the clothes of several of them, but this Nie Zhiwen was more dignified, Su Wuming glanced at Nie Zhiwen and said, "What does Nie Gongzi think about this murder?" ”

Nie Zhiwen shrugged: "I don't have any opinions, as long as Master Su doesn't doubt it." ”

Su Wuming smiled slightly: "So, is there a place for Nie Gongzi to worry about being suspected by Lord Ben?" ”

Nie Zhiwen's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Where will there be, I have rested in the house all afternoon and evening, and I have never entered the kitchen at all." I don't know if there is any metaphor in this sentence, so that after Nie Zhiwen finished speaking, he suddenly arched his hand slightly and said: "It's not early, it's your business to handle the case, but you have to rest." ”

After speaking, Nie Zhiwen walked towards his courtyard one step ahead of everyone, looking at the back of Nie Zhiwen leaving, Nangong Yan snorted coldly: "This Nie Zhiwen is really suspicious." ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Oh, the lady sees that Nie Zhiwen is suspicious?" Don't know where it's suspicious? ”

Nangong Yan was speechless for a while, she felt that Nie Zhiwen was suspicious, but she didn't know where to be suspicious, maybe, she just didn't like Nie Zhiwen's attitude, so she felt that he was suspicious.

I don't know when, the moon peeked through the clouds, but the moonlight was so faint that people could hardly notice it, and only when I looked up at the moon, I saw the layers of clear light on the edge of the clouds.

Wen Wan'er yawned, and then asked, "Xianggong, what do you want to do next?" ”

Su Wuming glanced at Wen Wan'er and said, "You two go back to rest first, Tang Xiong and I will go to see someone." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Su Wuming smiled and said, "It's that Liu Gao, I want to see if he is sober." ”

After Su Wuming and Tang Xiong came to Liu Gao's residence, they knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response inside, Tang Xiong saw this, kicked the door open, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and felt that Tang Xiong was really too impulsive to do this, but at this time, he didn't have much to say, so he had to take the lead into the house, and after the two of them entered the house, they saw Liu Gao sitting on the bed with confused eyes, looking frightened, as if he was startled by the sound of kicking the door just now.

But at this time, Su Wuming pretended not to know anything, and after coming to the bedside, he asked, "Brother Liu, are you okay?" ”

Liu Gao's eyes could barely open, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Water...... Water ......"

Drunk people will feel that their throat is very dry, their stomach is very uncomfortable, and they will want to drink water, Su Wuming glanced at Liu Gao, and saw that he didn't look like he was pretending, so he got up and left, as for the water that Liu Gao wanted to drink, that was not what Su Wuming should do.

Soon after leaving Liu Gao's room, Su Wuming suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he said to Tang Xiong: "You go to Liu Gao's door and watch outside to see how he reacts." ”

Tang Xiong didn't ask much, nodded and then turned back.

The night was a little deeper, Su Wuming sighed, and secretly thought in his heart, I don't know if there is any connection between the killing of this Danfeng girl and the poisoning of Princess Kong.
