Chapter 186: Meet the Person
From the maid's words, it can be inferred that the murderer was not hiding in the deceased's room; And if you have to think so, then there is only one possibility, the maid and the two guards she brought with her conspired with the murderer, but in the entire palace of King Di, I am afraid that only King Di can collude with them.
But King Di wants to kill a Qinglou woman, he doesn't need to be so troublesome, and looking at Di **'s expression, he seems to be a little surprised by this matter.
The murderer is not King Di, so who will it be, and how did he kill people?
Su Wuming almost thought about all kinds of situations, but there was no clue, he thought that the murderer might have killed the sleeping Danfeng girl from the roof, but the roof was not unusual, obviously the murderer did not kill people like this.
Su Wuming liked to read mystery novels in his previous life, and once read an article about a murder in a leaning house, in which the murderer used the tilt of the house to stab the dagger through the small opening of the air window into the sleeping person's body through a thread, and then completed the murder in the closed room.
Because he had seen such a story before, Su Wuming felt that the murderer could also do this, although Danfeng Girl's room was not oblique, but as long as the murderer's martial arts were strong, he suspiciously fired the dagger, but after the whole room was checked, everything was intact, and there was no trace of the murderer firing the dagger.
Things are too weird, this secret room case is almost unsolvable, Su Wuming sighed, and decided to let go of the entanglement of the secret room for the time being, he decided to exclude the people of the Di Wangfu first, if he found a suspicious person, maybe he could start from the suspicious person.
In this Di Wang's Mansion, the security is very strict, and from the beginning of entering the Di Wang's Mansion, you will encounter a labyrinthine courtyard, if ordinary people don't know this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk in, so it can almost be ruled out that the murderer is someone outside.
If the murderer is a person from King Di's Mansion, then there are not many people who are suspicious, because in addition to King Di and the guards and maids in his mansion, the only outsiders left in King Di Mansion are Su Wuming and others, and people like Nie Zhiwen and Liu Gao, although they are King Di's staff, they can be regarded as half outsiders, so in addition to King Di, there are also Nie Zhiwen and Liu Gao.
The suspicion of King Di can basically be ruled out, in addition to the reasons that Su Wuming thought before, and then he thinks that this King Di is very smart, even if he wants to kill someone, he will never kill someone in his own mansion, and judging from the body of the Danfeng girl, the murderer did not deliberately hide his intention to kill, as if the reason why the murderer made a secret room was just to challenge Su Wuming.
The murderer kills people, and kills people in this silent way, which shows that this murderer is very conceited, and the conceited murderer encounters such a divine decision as Su Wuming, and he has to want to have a discussion, so it makes perfect sense to create a secret room after killing someone.
If the murderer is very conceited, then it is even more impossible for King Di to be the murderer, King Di has a special identity, his conceit will never be used to fight with Su Wuming, and he has always wanted Su Wuming to take refuge in him, how could he use this method to test Su Wuming?
If King Di is not the murderer, then the only suspicious people left are Nie Zhiwen and Liu Gao, both of whom are smart people, and smart people often want to compete after seeing smart people.
Su Wuming didn't dare to think he was smart, but he was by no means stupid, so like Nie Zhiwen and Liu Gao, they naturally secretly compared in their hearts.
Because he didn't know Liu Gao very well, Su Wuming decided to talk to Nie Zhiwen first, not to mention that on the night when Danfeng girl was killed, Nie Zhiwen came back very late.
When he saw Nie Zhiwen, Nie Zhiwen's expression was very bad, he almost couldn't believe that it was true, there was a faint sadness in his eyes, this was the first time Su Wuming saw sadness in this person's eyes, and when Su Wuming saw sadness, he suddenly thought of Nie Zhiwen's excitement when Danfeng girl played and sang new words that night.
It seems that this Nie Zhiwen really likes Danfeng.
But if you like it, you like it, and if the person you like dies, it doesn't mean that his suspicion is gone.
Su Wuming glanced at Nie Zhiwen and said, "Now that there is a murder in the Di Palace, I want to know what Nie Gongzi thinks about this matter?" ”
Nie Zhiwen is a smart person after all, he knows that Su Wuming is by no means as simple as just wanting to know his opinion, so at this time, the corner of Nie Zhiwen's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "I am not a staff member and not a god, let alone an official of Dali Temple, I am afraid of this opinion, I don't have it." ”
Su Wuming smiled: "In this case, then the official will talk about the official's opinion, in this entire Di Wangfu, the official suspects two people, one is you, and the other is Liu Gao, and the reason why the official suspects you is very simple, that is your identity, so I want to know, where did you go on the night when Miss Danfeng was killed?" ”
Nie Zhiwen's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, he didn't seem to have the intention of justifying, only smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, I didn't go anywhere that day, when I met with Lord Su at the residence, I was ordered by the prince to go to Chang'an City to find Lord Ding Wei, after seeing Lord Ding Wei, I chatted with him late before coming back, and after coming back, I went back to my room to rest, if Lord Su doubts what I said, you might as well ask Lord Ding and Lord Wang, I believe they will be able to testify for me." ”
Hearing that King Di actually asked Nie Zhiwen to go to Ding Wei late at night, this made Su Wuming's heart sink slightly, thinking that they could do this, and the relationship must have been very close. This king of Di has won the support of Ding Wei in Hangzhou City, and his power should not be underestimated; It's just that the assassin doesn't have much military power in his hands, if this king of Di really has different intentions, I'm afraid he must have a good relationship with Li Jingdao, the Jiangnan Dongdao observer, Li Jingdao has military power in his hands, if he can get his support, at least the entire Jiangnan Dongdao is in his control.
However, judging from the current situation, Su Wuming feels that this King Di has not joined forces with Li Jingdao, otherwise, with the hatred between Su Wuming and Li Jingdao, King Di will definitely not offend Li Jingdao for the sake of a mere Su Wudao; And looking at the current intention of King Di to win over Su Wuming, it seems that he has no intention of joining forces with Li Jingdao, which makes Su Wuming feel that this King Di is not stupid.
But soon, Su Wuming couldn't help but smile, because he felt that this King Di was stupid, he was obviously smarter than ordinary people imagined, just imagine that the emperor would be negligent in guarding against such an important person as the observation envoy, but he was afraid that as soon as the king of Di came into contact with the observation envoy, there would be a holy decree in Chang'an City.
Although this observation makes him have military power in his hands, but if he is still stable today, how can the little force in his hands confront the entire Tang Dynasty?
Therefore, whether it is King Di or Li Jingdao, the observer, they will not have much contact with each other; But Ding Wei is different, Ding Wei is just a thorn in history, the grade is not very high, but he is in charge of various affairs in a state and county, although the power is not small, the power that may shake the imperial power is almost none, there are so many thorns in the world, how can the emperor pay attention to it?
Seeing that Su Wuming was silent for a while, everyone was a little puzzled, and Nie Zhiwen hurriedly said: "Master Su really doesn't believe it, if you don't believe it, I will take you to see King Di immediately, how about it?" ”
Su Wuming came back to his senses from the association just now, and after coming back to his senses, he was a little strange, and even surprised, why since he came to the Di Palace, he began to think about the battle inside and outside the court?
Is it because of this atmosphere in the Di Palace? Or did he suddenly come into contact with the royal family and let him feel this situation? Or is it just because he is too cautious, for fear that he will accidentally fall victim to these imperial power struggles?
Facing Nie Zhiwen's words, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "I will verify what you said, and I don't have to bother Nie Gongzi to lead the way, but now this official wants to know, on the day Danfeng girl was killed, when was the last time you saw him?" ”
Nie Zhiwen frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "To be exact, I didn't see Miss Danfeng that day, if Lord Su wants to know about Miss Danfeng, you might as well ask Liu Gao, he is a crazy suitor of Miss Danfeng, when Miss Danfeng was in the Qinglou before, he didn't fall in every game." ”
Hearing that Liu Gao had frantically pursued Miss Danfeng, Su Wuming was suddenly startled, but soon, he regained his expression and said, "Nie Gongzi knows these things very well!" ”
Nie Zhiwen smiled: "It's not a secret, I also like Miss Danfeng very much, but it's just not as crazy as Liu Gao likes." ”
Su Wuming bowed slightly, and said, "In that case, then the official will ask one last question, what do you think about the secret room where Danfeng girl was killed?" ”
Nie Zhiwen was just about to speak, Su Wuming suddenly smiled lightly and said: "I hope that Nie Gongzi will no longer use the excuse that he is not a god and is not an official of Dali Temple, Nie Gongzi is a smart person, don't you want to challenge the mystery of this secret room?" ”
Nie Zhiwen's face changed, and after a long time, he smiled lightly: "Zai Xia is indeed very interested in the mystery of this secret room, but so far, Zai Xia has not figured it out." ”
Su Wuming nodded: "In that case, then Nie Gongzi might as well think about it, maybe you have come up with the mystery of the secret room, and you will solve the case and help Miss Danfeng take revenge." After saying this, Su Wuming no longer listened to what Nie Zhiwen said, and turned around and left directly, Nangong Yan glanced at Nie Zhiwen before leaving, only to see Nie Zhiwen frowning, as if thinking about something, he only shrugged his shoulders slightly about the departure of Su Wuming and the others.
After separating from Nie Zhiwen, Wen Wan'er asked, "Where are we going and what are we doing now?" ”
Su Wuming thought about it, smiled again, and said, "You guys go to rest first, I'll go to see King Di by myself." ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and soon understood that Su Wuming was going to ask King Di to verify what Nie Zhiwen said, and King Di definitely didn't want many people to know about it.
