As soon as he said this, Chu Xia, who was inspecting the situation outside through the crack behind the door, said urgently: "Oh no! Leng Yi is coming this way! ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu shuddered and said, "I'll give you your guard robes, you go quickly!" ”

"It's too late!" Long Zhen grabbed the soft rope and climbed to the roof in the blink of an eye, then put the rafters in place and quickly spread the tiles.

His movements were very fast, and as soon as he was laid, Leng Yi had already arrived at the door.

In the long way, the eldest princess of the country of Lu had already swept the snow on the ground under the bed with her feet.

Seeing Leng Yi outside the door, Chu Xia had to open the door. Just as the eldest princess of the country of Lu turned around, she saw Leng Yi and smiled reluctantly.

Leng Yi also smiled slightly, and said, "The eldest princess knows that Weichen is coming, so she opens the door to greet her?" This micro-minister doesn't dare to be. ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu turned around and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said coldly: "Didn't the adults already inquire?" What else to ask? ”

Leng Yi stepped in, glanced at the little snow left on the ground, and said, "It turns out that the princess is playing in the snow in the house, the princess has become a monk, but she is still a child, which is really rare." ”

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, if you have something to say, hurry up."

"Yes! Because Weichen made a new discovery, he specially came to ask the eldest princess again. By the way, after thinking about it all morning, does the princess have anything to say to Wechen? ”

"Tell you? What is this princess telling you! ――This princess said, if you have any questions, ask quickly, this princess is very annoyed and wants to sleep! ”

"Sleep?" Leng Yi looked up and down at the neat dress of the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, and said, "The eldest princess is wearing this, isn't she going to worship the eldest princess's father, that is, the first emperor?" ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu was taken aback, as if she had seen a ghost, and stared at Leng Yi: "You! What did you say? ”

Leng Yi didn't answer, glanced at the maid next to him, Chu Xia, and said, "You go out, let the guards at the door go farther away, and the official wants to talk to the eldest princess!" ”

Chu Xia hurriedly agreed, and after giving the salute, he retreated, pulled the door, and said to the palace maid and eunuch at the door, and they all walked away.

Leng Yi said to the eldest princess of Lu Guo: "Okay, let's stop playing dumb riddles, let's get straight to the point, - Weichen knows that the person who killed Da Ji's beauty is you, the eldest princess!" Right? ”

The eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom smiled coldly and said, "What evidence do you have?" ”

Leng Yi took out two broken latches from his sleeve as if he were juggling, and said: "This is the latch of Daji's beauty meditation room, Wechen was initially deceived by your and Dai Qin's words, thinking that it was really broken by a strong force outside the door, but after thinking about it, and carefully surveying the latch again, he made a major discovery. - If the door is knocked open, the first half of the latch is broken, there should be marks of scratching on the door! In the same way, on the edge of the door corresponding to the latch, there should also be traces of wear after scratching the latch! However, after careful observation, Wei Chen found that these two places that should have left traces were clean and nothing. So, Weichen understood that the door latch was not broken when he hit the door, but took the door leaf down and smashed it with external force! ”

The sneer on the face of the eldest princess of the country Lu disappeared, and she looked at him with a somewhat empty gaze.

Leng Yi then said: "Wei Chen continued to observe the door latch, and found a very interesting phenomenon, it is estimated that the eldest princess herself did not notice. Leng Yi pointed to the back half of the broken latch, a small hole on it, and a wire was tied to the small hole, which was used to hang the latch next to the latch frame, so that it could be pulled out and inserted at any time. Leng Yi said: "Did you see it?" This line is relatively thin, but the hole in the door latch is relatively large, Weichen thinks that such a big hole, with such a thin rope, is indeed a little unnecessary, and it is also idle, Weichen went to the next room to compare and look, and found that it was different! -- The hole at the back of the latch in the next room is noticeably smaller than this latch! However, the rope is the same. I was surprised and looked at a few more rooms, and found that the Zen rooms in the row of Daji beauties and theirs had the same holes in the latches, all smaller than this broken one. Weichen went to the eldest princess's side of the room to check, and as a result, he found that the holes in the latches were bigger than those over there, and they were the same. - Does the eldest princess know why? ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu did not answer, her eyes appeared with fear, as if Leng Yi's words were very scary.

Leng Yi seemed to be talking to himself: "Weichen asked the Dasha girl of the temple with this question, and then I learned that the construction time of these two wings is different, and the craftsmen are different, so the structure of the door latch is also slightly different." However, Weichen is curious, why is the door latch of the Zen room of Daji Beauty Niangniang different from the same row? Could it be that someone changed one of the latches in your row to the Daji Beauty Meditation Room? -- Anyway, the latch looks similar, and you can't tell if you don't look closely. Weichen is very curious, whose door latch has been replaced? Could it be the eldest princess in your room? Let Wechen take a look! ”

After that, Leng Yi walked over with half of the latch, compared it with the latch of this meditation room, and exclaimed: "Really, eldest princess, the hole in the latch of your meditation room is very small, it should be from the wing room over there!" The latch of Daji's beauty meditation room is your room! ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu finally spoke: "So what? Can you prove that this princess killed someone? ”

Leng Yi smiled: "Evidence is like pearls, strung together, it can prove a crime." Don't worry, eldest princess, listen to Weichen speak slowly. Leng Yi's gaze slowly searched the room, and finally, her gaze fell on the quilt of the eldest princess of Lu's meditation bed. He walked over, picked up the quilt, shook it open, looked at the four corners, couldn't help laughing, picked up a corner, and lit up towards the eldest princess of the Lu country. The despair in the eyes of the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom became even stronger. His body began to tremble slightly.

Leng Yi squatted down, looked under the bed, smiled again, reached in, and took out a small axe. said: "Just now, after Weichen discovered the mystery on the door latch, he pondered, why change the door latch? This answer is easy to get, - if you really want to hit the door late at night, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not alarm the people next door, and when the screen is knocked down, doesn't it wake up the maid of the eldest princess of Wei, Lianqiu? Almost exposed. Therefore, you must be cautious, if you are in your own room, remove the latch, put it on the quilt, and then slash it with an axe, and the latch will break immediately, not only will there be no sound, but there will be no sharp cuts on the latch. At first glance, it looked like it had been broken. ”

Leng Yi picked up the corner of the quilt and said, "The traces of chopping left on it, and the small axe under the bed, are proof." - Wechen found out that this secret was actually very coincidental, when Wechen went to ask the Dasha girl about the situation of this room, she said by the way, and asked Wechen to bring a message to the eldest princess, and return the axe she borrowed yesterday to her as soon as possible, because she had to chop wood for cooking. So, Weichen wondered, what did the eldest princess do with the axe? This is the same, and the purpose is understood. This link is naturally strung together. However, the latter link really embarrassed Weichen for a long time, the eldest princess must know what the link is? Because this is the key to the composition of the whole secret room! ”

Leng Yi looked at the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, but she lowered her gaze.

Leng Yi then said to himself: "This link is closed!" - Da Ji beauty must close the door when she sleeps, and if the eldest princess of Lu wants to enter, but she can't really knock open the door, then she can only find a way from the window. Because there is a deadbolt but no lock on the outside of the meditation room, the meditation room is almost always open. Eldest Princess, it's easy for you to enter Daji Beauty's room, and it won't even arouse suspicion, and when everyone is wandering around the temple, there is no one on this side of the room, you go in, pull out one of the latches in the window, and no one will notice. At night, dressed as a guard, you open a window with the latch removed, and enter the house through the window. - This is the scene that Reich Qiu saw. You are tall and tall, and your appearance is roughly similar to Long Zhen in the dark, and under the horror of Lianqiu, she naturally can't identify you in detail, so that she mistakenly thinks you for Long Zhen, and thinks of his viciousness, and is half frightened to death. - At that time, Weichen was very curious, why did the eldest princess wear the dragon guard's uniform? ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu bit her lip gently, there was no trace of blood on her face, and she did not answer.

Leng Yi said: "This question will be talked about later, and then follow the analysis just now." - You entered Daji's room, pressed her into a pile of clothes, and then you used a very clever method to forge a secret room! That's it! ”

Leng Yi pointed to the round table in the meditation room, where there were two teapots!

Leng Yi said: "If what Wei Chen said is correct, one of these two teapots is actually from Daji Beauty's meditation room!" You take it out, close the door, pick up the snow on the ground and pour it into the crack in the door below, and when you fill it, you pour the cold tea from the teapot into the snow in the crack in the door. In this way, the snow in the crack of the door below will quickly freeze into ice, and the bottom of the door and the threshold will be tightly solidified, and it will not be pushed open without great force, and people will mistakenly think that the door has been tied from the inside! ”

The eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom had already bitten out two white marks on her lips, she lowered her head, and her delicate body trembled like a sieve of chaff.

Leng Yi didn't stop, and continued: "Eldest princess, you are waiting here in neat clothes before dawn, just to wait for Dai Qin, the maid of Da Ji Beauty, to knock on the door and call Da Ji Beauty." Then you went out immediately, pretending to help her knock on the door, and when the eldest princess of Wei and the others came out to see, you slammed the door open in front of everyone, and the people who went in saw the broken latch on the ground, and they all thought that the door was tied from the inside and was knocked open by you. Actually, only you know that the door was just frozen by you by watering it into ice! -- Wechen originally thought that he was frozen by the blizzard that came from the blizzard and fell into the crack of the door below, but this inference is very problematic, because it is difficult for the snow to freeze the door itself. When Wechen found that there was no teapot on the table in Daji Beauty's room, Wechen thought of this possibility, and when he looked closely at the frozen ice on the threshold, he found that there was a faint yellow, which proved the inference that Wechen used tea to cast. ”

After Leng Yi finished speaking, he looked at the eldest princess of the country of Lu for a long time: "Does the eldest princess have any excuses?" ”

The eldest princess of the country of Lu stroked her hair and said, "These so-called evidence of yours do not mention the key to my killing of Daji Beauty. How do you prove it? ”

"With such a critical plot, how could Wei Chen not look for evidence? - By the way, Weichen heard from the fifth prince that the eldest princess raised all kinds of insects here, such as big green worms or something. Can we open our eyes? ”

As soon as she heard this, the eldest princess of the country of Lu seemed to have been struck by lightning, she knew that Leng Yi would not look at these insects for no reason. Cold sweat was already breaking out on her forehead, and she subconsciously glanced at a wooden cabinet in the corner of the room.

Leng Yi followed her gaze and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, this is it!" He went over and opened the wooden box, and saw that there were many small cages made of rattan and bamboo. There are also jars that are ceramic. There are small insects such as grasshoppers, large green worms, caterpillars, four-legged snakes, and feces shells, which are creepy to look at.

Leng Yi glanced at it, reached in, opened the small ceramic jars and checked, and found that two of them were empty. He took it out, put it on the ground, and opened the lid.

Then, as if playing a trick, he took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve and said to the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom: "The contents of this porcelain vase were found by Weichen in the quilt scattered on the bed of Daji Beauty. At that time, Wei Chen slowly opened the quilt, and saw these two things under the quilt, looking at Wei Chen very intimidatingly. Weichen covered it with a teacup and asked people to find a porcelain bottle to show the eldest princess. Because, if Weichen's guess is correct, after Weichen opens it, if it is really raised by the eldest princess, they should crawl back to their nests! ”

With that, Leng Yi carefully put the porcelain vase in his hand on the ground and opened the lid.

Slowly crawling out of it are two thumb-sized scorpions! The back of the scissor tail bent up, looked around in menacing, and after a few turns, it slowly crawled back.

Leng Yi smiled: "Eldest princess, you just took advantage of the fact that the eldest princess of Lu Guo was asleep, entered her room through the window, and put these two poisonous scorpions into the quilt of Daji Beauty." Then go out the window. Waiting outside, hoping that Daji Beauty was poisoned by a scorpion sting and died. However, unexpectedly, the two scorpions were spotted by her before they stung Daji Beauty. She was the most afraid of insects, and found something crawling on her body, which scared her out of bed, and turned around to see what was going on, but in a panic, she stumbled and fell backwards, hitting the brick ground with the back of her head, and fainted. You don't feel at ease, so you go through the window and go in to check, and find that Daji Beauty is not dead, but she is in a coma, this result has been expected by you, you are ready to kill her yourself, you turn her over, head and face down, press her on your clothes, and suffocate her to death! Then you fasten the window, go out of the house, throw on the ground the broken latch that you had prepared in your own room, put it half on the door frame, take her door away, freeze the door with ice and tea, and then go back to the house, put the latch you have brought back on your own latch frame, and wait for the incident. ”
