"However, I don't understand, these footprints are clearly left by the king of Silla, and how did the murderer use the footprints of the king of Silla?" Li Yu became more and more puzzled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Canghai touched his chin and said, "This is the genius of the murderer, he used the footprints of the king of Silla to confuse us, making us think that the king of Silla committed suicide by entering the Buddhist hall by himself, and the time of death was within an hour. ”

"I know, the murderer must have been wearing his shoes and leaving these footprints on the ground!" Li Yu groaned.

The second prince shook his head and said, "This is impossible, assuming that these footprints were left before the murderer killed his father, it is impossible for the murderer to escape from the Buddhist hall without leaving footprints." Assuming that the footprints were made by the murderer wearing his father's shoes after his father's death, the shoes could not have been on his father's feet. ”

"There's some truth to that, but what's going on?" Li Yu asked confusedly.

Li Canghai touched his chin and said, "Actually, the footprints on the ground were left by the murderer wearing Brother Wang's shoes. ”

The second prince was stunned, and he said in amazement: "So, the murderer deliberately left footprints after killing his father in the Buddhist hall?" But doesn't that make sense? In this case, there should be two lines of footprints on the snow outside the Buddha hall! Otherwise, how would the murderer put shoes on his father? ”

"Xiyuan is half right, what is right is that the murderer did deliberately leave shoe prints, and what is wrong is that the murderer did not leave footprints after killing Brother Wang in the Buddhist hall. Rather, it was left before getting Brother Wang to the Buddha Hall. Li Canghai said.

"How is this possible? Could it be that the murderer held his father hostage? The eldest prince said in surprise.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "The murderer didn't kidnap Brother Wang, in fact, Brother Wang was already dead before he was brought into the Buddha Hall. ”

"What? Uncle Wang, do you mean...... After his father was killed, he was transferred to the Buddha Hall? The second prince only felt a buzzing of his head, his body shook a few times involuntarily, and he asked with an ugly face.

Not only the second prince, but everyone was extremely shocked.

Li Canghai nodded solemnly and said, "Not bad." Brother Wang was indeed killed, and then transferred to the Buddha Hall. ”

"Sir, how do you know that the king of Silla was not killed in the Buddha Hall?" Li Yu asked more and more suspiciously.

Li Canghai picked up a book from the table next to him and said, "This book was found in the imperial study. This is the fold that Brother Wang reviewed before he died, and you can see the blood stains on it, and there is a blank space on this blood stain. And this blank space is a thumb print, if I guess correctly, the murderer should have killed Brother Wang with a golden toad sword in the imperial study while Brother Wang was reviewing the folds. Brother Wang's blood splattered on this fold, and it happened that the thumb of his right hand was pressed on it, so that he left this thumb print.

"I still don't understand, after the murderer killed the king of Silla, why did he go to great lengths to transfer the body of the king of Silla to the Buddhist hall?" Li Yu touched his chin and shook his head.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. In fact, after the murderer committed the murder in the imperial study, he transferred the body to the Buddhist hall according to the previous plan, and it was on this opportunity that the murderer wore the shoes of the royal brother and left footprints on the ground. Li Canghai said.

"Father...... Did you die in the Imperial Study? This...... How is this possible? I saw my father on the night he died! The second prince Xiyuan said with a pale face.

Li Canghai glanced at him and said deeply: "This is why I said before, the time of Brother Wang's death was not from the time of Yin to the time of Mao, but ...... Before the time of the child! ”

"What? Child...... Before the child time? The second prince's eyes widened instantly, and he shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" When I went to give my father a fold when I was a son, my father was still in good shape. ”

"Do you remember what happened to you?" Li Canghai stared at him and asked.

The second prince was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturally, I remember." My father was resting on his bed. ”

"Did you really see Brother Wang's face?" Li Canghai asked.

The second prince shook his head and said, "No, my father is lying on the bed with his back to me. ”

"Then how do you be sure that the person you see is Brother Wang's?" Li Canghai then asked.

"Though his back is to me, he is covered with his father's mantle." The second prince thought for a while and said.

"Yes, you didn't see that person's face with your own eyes, and the reason why you think that person is Brother Wang is because you subconsciously believe that there will be no one else in the imperial study except Brother Wang." Li Canghai said.

"However, if the person the second brother saw was not his father, who would it be?" The third prince asked puzzled.

Li Canghai said deeply: "Naturally, he is the murderer. ”

"Sir, how do you know that the murderer killed the king of Silla before the second prince went? And not after the sub-hour? Li Yu asked suspiciously.

"It's still this one. This fold was pressed under the fold that Hee Won sent to the imperial study. If my guess is correct, the murderer should have moved before Xi Yuan went, and just when he wanted to transfer the body, he happened to meet Xi Yuan coming, and in a hurry, he put on Brother Wang's cloak, turned his back to Xi Yuan, and pretended to be Brother Wang. ”

The second prince Xiyuan only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body trembled involuntarily, and he almost fell to the ground.

"How so? The murderer is right in front of me...... But I didn't find out! I'm useless! It's useless! The second prince, Hee Won, suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed desperately to the coffin of King Silla, and wept bitterly.

"Hee Yuan, I can't blame you for this." Li Canghai asked him to help him up, sighed and continued: "Back to the original question, why is there only one line of footprints outside the Buddha Hall? In fact, when the murderer transferred the body to the Buddhist hall, he left footprints with Brother Wang's shoes, but it was still early in the morning, and the footprints would definitely be covered after a few hours of snowfall, so the murderer thought of a wonderful way to keep the footprints. ”

"How?" Li Yu asked hurriedly.

"Last night, I was thinking about the case in front of the Buddhist hall, and a maid brought me food, but accidentally knocked it to the ground. One of the steamed buns rolled down into the footprints, and when I picked it up, I found that it tasted salty. Li Canghai said.

"What does this mean?" Li Yu was confused.

"The steamed bun itself is not salted, but it is stained with the snow around the footprints, and it becomes extremely salty." Li Canghai said.

The second prince's eyes rolled slightly, and he frowned: "How is this possible?" How can there be salt water on the snow? (To be continued.) )
