"Huh! The third brother is still looking good recently! Zhao Kai looked at the third brother in front of him and greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Dian waved his hand and said: "The second brother is making fun of me again, the family is unfortunate recently, Feng Niang's brother died unexpectedly, and he has been crying, making trouble and hanging himself with the younger brother in the house, which is really a headache......"

"Hehe, brother and sister are also reasonable, it seems that the third brother's house is not peaceful!"

As soon as Zhao Kai's words were said, the corners of Zhao Dan's eyes, who were sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but move slightly.

This is a pun, it can be said that it is just right, Zhao Dian looked slightly stunned, and then smiled perfunctorily and said: "What the second brother said is very true, the house has not been peaceful recently!" ”

Ye Yu, who was sitting on the side, listened to the conversation between the two brothers, and said in his heart that the children of the royal family are all human spirits, and they have a twist in their words.

"His Royal Highness King Gong doesn't have to worry, I came here today for the peace of your mansion!"

"Oh? Is this true? Zhao Dian glanced at Ye Yu and asked quietly.

"Of course, otherwise, why would the lower officials bother?"

For Zhao Dian calling him a junior brother, Ye Yu also felt speechless for a while.

Zhao Dian preferred arithmetic and studied arithmetic with Yang Hui for a while. Since the Yang Mansion met once back then, the title of this junior brother has been confirmed.

Back then, Ye Yu and Gongwang Zhao Dian had several contacts, although it was only an academic exchange, but Ye Yu has always stayed away.

The reason is that Ye Yu, who is familiar with history, knows that this Zhao Dian is the later Song Guangzong, and he is also an extremely forbearant and unfilial person.

Therefore, for such a person, Ye Yu naturally stayed away and kept his due distance.

Zhao Kai looked at the two of them, and then smiled: "Master Ye, since you have come to the third brother's mansion, you should also take care of business!" ”

"What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, then today, the lower officials are in this living room, analyzing this murder case......"

As he spoke, he stood up and saluted each of the two princes, and then spoke: "According to what Lord Zhang said that day, Li Chong died at the time of the fifth watch......

"Yes, it's about five watches!" Zhang Meng replied solemnly.

"But according to the investigation, Li Chonger got drunk and left the Baiyulou, and returned to the Gongwang Mansion at the fourth watch, how could a drunken person go and return and die in the streets and alleys of the Baiyulou?"

"Oh? Really? This king didn't pay much attention to these ......," Zhao Dian picked up the teacup and said in a deep voice with a blank face.

But Zhao Kai said with great interest: "Then according to Master Ye's meaning, Li Chong's death was not in the streets?" ”

"Yes, the scene of the first murder is not in the streets, but in Prince Gong's mansion!"

"Senior brother, there is a basis for what you say, if Li Chong dies in King Gong's mansion, will this king not know? Besides, now that Li Chong's body has been burned, what you say is just subjective speculation......"

Zhao Dian put down the teacup, and his face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost.

Ye Yu said solemnly with confidence: "Of course, the basis is, Xia Guan not only found the husband who fought that night, but also found this from Liu Yanzuo!" ”

Ye Yu said and took out a booklet from his sleeve, raised it in his hand, and then sneered: "The husband can prove that Li Chongsi returned to Prince Gong's Mansion in the first day!" ”

"But so what, can this prove that Li Chong died in this palace? Li Chong's alcohol consumption has always been very good, and it is okay to turn back to Baiyulou after returning home! ”

"What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, but the problem is in this book! Liu Chengzuo has a habit, that is, whenever there is an autopsy, he will leave a record, the record of Dali Temple has been burned, but this record is still preserved! ”

"In this record, Li Chong's wounds and appearance are described, and one of them is worth scrutinizing!"

Zhang Meng was overjoyed when he saw the record in Ye Yu's hand, but then he asked with a puzzled face: "Master Ye, Zhang also read the autopsy record, but he didn't find the slightest clue......

"This record records that at the scene of the crime that day, Li Chong's clothes were dry except for the slightly damp places where they were close to the ground, but as far as Ye knew, it rained lightly in Lin'an on the night of the crime!"

Zhao Dian sneered: "Senior brother, what can this mean, the light rain has stopped at the fourth watch that night, Li Chong changed into dry clothes, and then turned back to the White Jade Tower, what is strange about not being soaked in rain?" ”

This explanation is reasonable, but Ye Yu smiled and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness didn't sleep peacefully on the night of the crime, otherwise why would he even know how many times the rain stopped?" ”

"Well...... this king also learned from the mouth of his subordinates......"

Zhao Dian was already very cautious in his response, and he never thought that he would still fall into the pit dug by Ye Yu. Zhao Dan, who was secretly remorseful, had a slightly gloomy face, and he was embarrassed to hide his gaffe.

"Oh, it seems that His Royal Highness is really worthy of his reputation! However, although what His Royal Highness said is reasonable, there are no water stains on the soles of Li Chong's boots, how can this be explained? ”

"This ......"

One sentence asked Zhao Dian was speechless, and Zhang Meng suddenly realized: "Master Ye is really clear!" ”

The few people present were not stupid people, and naturally instantly understood what Ye Yu meant.

Li Chong has a good habit, so he is reluctant to sit in a sedan chair, and King Gong Zhao Dian does not allow the housekeeper to be so ostentatious.

Therefore, the possibility of sitting in a sedan chair can be directly ignored, and there is no trace of a sedan chair at the scene of the crime.

The light rain stopped at the fourth watch, but the ground on the street was damp, so if Li Chong wanted to return to Baiyulou, on the premise of not taking a sedan chair, it would be inevitable that the soles of his shoes would not be wet on this part of the road.

However, what is recorded in the record is that there are no water stains and dust on the soles of the shoes, and this flaw is enough to illustrate a problem.

That is, after Li Chong returned to Prince Gong's Mansion, because his body was already wet due to the light rain all the way, he changed his clothes and boots.

The dry boots were not wet, indicating that Li Chong never came out after returning home.

And the reason why he was lying in the alley was obviously carried there.

Ye Yu said this, and he didn't say any more, but waited for King Gong's response.

At this moment, the living room fell into a short period of silence, and Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, who was the elder brother, glanced at Zhao Dian and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, don't you have anything to say?" ”

"Second brother, do you also think that Li Chong died in the younger brother's mansion?"

"And how do you explain this?"

Zhao Dian sneered sarcastically: "Even if the body was not found at the scene of the first crime, it doesn't prove anything!" ”

"No, Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, this can really prove some things......" Ye Yu waved his hand and said solemnly.

"Oh? The king is going to listen to it! ”

Ye Yu raised the record in his hand again, and said solemnly: "It is recorded here that Li Chong's clean boots have a red lacquer (paint) on the top of the right boot, and as far as the lower officials know, the repainted gate of the third highness's mansion happens to be that day!" ”

Hiss!

You must know that in ancient times, the color of the gate was very particular, in the feudal era, the palace Zhu Gate, the vermilion door was a sign of rank.

In addition to the palace of the Son of Heaven, as well as the princes and grandchildren, and even the ministers with great merits, they can be qualified to be equipped with the vermilion gate.

And the general family of the people is mostly black doors.

So when Ye Yu said that there was red lacquer on the top of Li Chong's boots, the range was directly narrowed down a lot.

Moreover, if this lacquer sticks to the upper, it must be the reason why the lacquer has not solidified.

Prince Gong's Mansion repainted the door, coupled with continuous light rain, so that the lacquer could not be dried quickly, which can also reasonably explain some problems.

There are very few vermilion gates, and I am afraid that only Prince Gong's Mansion was repainted that day.

Ye Yu threw out one piece of evidence after another, although he couldn't explain anything, but he had already pushed Zhao Dian into a desperate situation step by step.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little stagnant, Zhang Meng looked at this qiē from the side, and said in his heart that this Ye Yu was really confident, no wonder he dared to threaten to solve this case in half a day.

It's just that what Zhang Meng doesn't understand is that not long after Ye Yu came out, how could all the details be investigated so clearly.

Even when the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion was dyed with lacquer has been investigated so clearly.

"This doesn't mean anything, even if raw lacquer can't be used at will, but many lacquerware is also dyed with raw lacquer, maybe ......"

Zhao Dan, who had been silent for a long time, refuted this, but before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Yu interrupt: "Having said that, when Fang Xia entered the palace, he saw something that should not be seen......

"What is it?"

"At a height of five feet at the gate of the palace, there is an imperceptible lacquer fold, and the shape of this fold happens to be the shape of the toe of a shoe!"

"Third Highness, you don't want to tell your subordinates that someone has nothing to do and deliberately leaves a shoe print at a height of five feet, right?"

"This ......"

It is reasonable to say that the servants in the palace have no intention of touching the freshly lacquered door. But that would only leave a mark on the underside of the gate, and the distance of five feet was far from human.

And the only explanation is that someone carried Li Chong out of the palace gate and accidentally touched the palace gate.

And Li Chong, who was carried on his shoulders, lay flat at a height of about five feet from the ground.

Although these are not full evidence, there is no doubt that Prince Gong's Mansion has become the location of the crime.

"Third brother, I don't know if you have a reasonable explanation for these many suspicions?"

"This ......"

Zhao Dian looked embarrassed and speechless for a while, not knowing how to argue.

"Third Highness, there is a serious suspicion in this matter of Prince Gong's Mansion, maybe the real murderer is in this mansion! His Royal Highness is wise and wise, if you want to return the innocence of the prince's mansion, what should you do, there must be no need to say more about the lower officials! ”

Ye Yu looked at Zhao Dan, who looked gloomy and silent, and still said step by step.

In fact, Ye Yu's intention is very clear, that is, to search the entire Prince Gong's Mansion. Because as long as the murder is committed in Prince Gong's mansion, no matter how clean it is, no matter how clean it is, you will find clues.
