Chapter 587: Confused
Looking along the ground inside the door and looking out of the door, Li Canghai suddenly understood, and said to himself: "I see! ”
"Canghai, what have you figured out?" Di Qing asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Canghai pointed to a layer of ice outside the door and said, "I know why there is a layer of ice in front of the door, it is because the water in this room flows down the crack of the door to the outside, and the temperature outside is extremely low, so a layer of ice has formed." ”
Di Qing suddenly realized, she stared at the ice in front of the door, and said puzzledly: "But so what? What does this have to do with homicide? ”
Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "This, I haven't figured it out yet." Is it related? Or is it unrelated? ”
Li Canghai muttered a few words to himself, and then fell into deep thought.
Di Qing knew that Li Canghai could not be disturbed when he was pondering, so he made a gesture to Li Yu, and then gently walked out of the Buddhist hall and came to the door to guard.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it is basically certain that the king of Silla was indeed killed.
But what was the murderer's motive?
In addition, the biggest puzzle is how this huge Buddha statue was moved from the altar to the doorway.
Also, how did the murderer quietly leave after killing someone?
As far as he knew, there was a fire pit under this Buddha hall, and there was absolutely no secret passage.
And when Di Qing inspected the corpse of King Silla, he also looked around the walls of the Buddhist hall, and there was no secret door or anything like that.
There was no other way out of this temple except for a large door and two windows, and after the murderer killed someone, it seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Judging from the whole scene, it seems to be simple.
The king of Silla came to the Buddhist hall alone, but for some reason, he suddenly went crazy. Perhaps cursed and made so powerful, he moved the Buddha statue to the door and then committed suicide with the golden toad sword.
There were no clues at the scene to investigate, and the footprints outside the door also indicated that only the king of Silla came to the Buddhist hall.
Unless, the murderer stepped on the snow without a trace, leaving no trace.
However, in the days he had been in the Silla Palace, he had never seen anyone with such skills.
Li Canghai thought about it, but he didn't come up with any results.
I had to put my head on the time of the death of the king of Silla again.
The warmth of the body of the King of Silla, coupled with the clear footprints on the outside, can determine that the time of death should not have been more than an hour.
Last night, the king of Silla was still talking to him about the succession to the throne, and after one night, the king of Silla died for no reason, which had to make him suspicious of several princes.
After thinking about it, Li Canghai decided to start the investigation with several princes.
In the main hall, Li Canghai frowned.
In front of him stood several princes, all of them with sad expressions.
After a while, the eldest prince hurriedly walked in, and after saluting Li Canghai, he said, "Uncle, my nephew has already blocked the news according to your instructions, and strengthened the patrols around to guard against Dongying's surprise attack. ”
Li Canghai nodded and said, "Xitai, you did a good job. Your father's spirit in heaven will also be very gratifying. ”
The eldest prince's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, as if he was suffering great sadness.
"Uncle, you called us here, I don't know why?" The third prince Xizhen asked.
Li Canghai's sharp eyes swept over them, and he said solemnly: "I asked the guards on duty at night, last night, you all went to the imperial study, haven't you?" ”
Several people bowed their heads at the same time.
"Back to my uncle, my father summoned me to wait." The eldest prince Hee Tai said.
Li Canghai nodded and said, "Tell me, when did you all go and when did you leave?" ”
Several people were stunned at the same time.
The second prince Xiyuan frowned slightly, he looked at Li Canghai and said, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Do you doubt ......? ”
Without waiting for the second prince to finish speaking, Li Canghai waved his hand and said lightly: "You misunderstood, I want to know, during the period when you went in, did you find anything abnormal in Brother Wang, or in the imperial study?" ”
A few people sighed, and then they were relieved.
"Hee-tae, let's start with you!" Li Canghai said.
The eldest prince thought for a while and said, "Last night, around midnight, I was patrolling with the guards, and I met the second brother, who said that my father asked me to go to the imperial study, saying that he had something important to explain to me. When I got to the study, my father told me something, but there was nothing unusual about my father at that time, and the same was true in the study. Half an hour later, my father asked me to leave. ”
The second prince continued: "Before the end of last night, my father called me to the imperial study, gave me some notes for me to review, and after leaving, I immediately went to find the eldest brother. After that, it was not until about the time of the son that I finished the recital and went to report to my father. In the imperial study, because I saw that my father was unwell, I put down the fold and left the imperial study. ”
The third prince Xizhen grabbed his hair bun, saluted Li Canghai, and said: "My nephew was called to the imperial study by my father when I was in Hai, and my father asked my nephew to follow the eldest brother to practice martial arts, and learn to govern the country and the state with the second brother, and then let the nephew leave the imperial study. The nephew stayed in the imperial study for half an hour, and did not notice anything unusual. ”
The remaining twelve or thirteen-year-old little prince said timidly: "Last night I ran to play with my father, and I saw the third prince talking to my father from a distance, so I didn't go in. It wasn't until after the three brothers left that I went to the study. My father gave me some pastries, said it was late, and told me to go back to bed, and I went back. ”
Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose, and from what several people said, it seems that before the time of the child, the king of Silla was still in good shape.
"In the meantime, have you noticed that your father has taken out the Golden Toad Sword?" Li Canghai asked.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and shook their heads at the same time.
Li Canghai's brows furrowed suddenly, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and decided to go to the imperial study to have a look.
When he came to the imperial study, a trace of sadness suddenly rose in Li Canghai's heart.
Yesterday he was still here and the king of Silla was talking about it here, and it was only one night later, but it was not a matter of fact.
In the imperial study, as always, there is a pile of folds on the dragon case.
Li Canghai carefully inspected the imperial study, as he had seen last night, there was nothing abnormal.
Li Canghai came to the dragon case, picked up those folds and looked at them.
Suddenly, a scroll of yellow silk fell from the dragon's case.
Di Qing hurriedly bent down to help him pick it up, took it in his hand and looked at it, Di Qing suddenly startled.
"Canghai, this ...... This is the enthronement edict! ”
When Li Canghai heard this, he immediately took the scroll in his hand and looked at it.
Sure enough, as Di Qing said, this is an enthronement edict. (To be continued.) )
