Chapter 444: Jealousy
"Brother Li, just say it directly." Conan rubbed his temples and said.
"Actually, if you want to find out who the murderer is, it's mainly on this bowl of snake soup." Li Canghai picked up the half bowl of snake soup left before, he looked at everyone, and then continued: "Regarding the matter of snakes in the swamp, it can be described as twists and turns. The cook said that the fat guard told him, and the fat guard said that the thin guard said it, and the thin guard said that he learned it from Lingji, so the question is, how did Lingji know? ”
Ling Ji was slightly stunned, and said: "The slave maid has never said this to Ye Bijun, and Ye Bijun also said that he slept in a mess, and he didn't know who told him!" ”
Li Canghai glanced at her and said, "Yes, the thin guard is a little confused, he may be wrong, but there is also a possibility that he is not mistaken." ”
Ling Ji's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she shook her head and said, "This slave really doesn't know. ”
"Oh, you really don't know?" Li Canghai stared at her, and his tone instantly became serious.
"The slave and maid really don't know! When the princess was there, the slave and maid were always with her. Later, the princess said that she was going out to pick the night ephemera, and the slave maid had been pretending to be a princess in the temple according to the princess's orders, and had never left the temple, how could she know this? Lingji said eagerly.
Li Canghai touched his chin and said lightly: "After discovering the princess's body, Brother Conan immediately imprisoned you, during this period, you shouldn't have seen anyone except me, right?" If you don't know this, how do you know that the swamp is located east of the shrine? ”
Ling Ji's breathing immediately became rapid, she looked at Li Canghai a little nervously, bit her lip and said, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid overheard. ”
"Since the princess was killed, there have only been a handful of people who know the location of the swamp. What's more, Brother Conan strictly forbade everyone to talk about this matter in private, how could you hear this when you were imprisoned in the stone house? Li Canghai said indifferently.
"Because ......." Lingji's face changed slightly, she looked a little flustered, and she stammered when she spoke.
Li Canghai stared at her and said word by word: "Because, you are the real murderer who killed the princess!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Even Conan was stunned and looked at Li Canghai in surprise.
Ling Ji's face turned pale in an instant, and she shouted, "No! The slave didn't kill the princess! Treat unjustly! The slave really didn't kill the princess! ”
"Brother Li, are you mistaken? She is the princess's personal maid, how can she harm the princess? Conan said in surprise.
Li Canghai said lightly: "It is precisely because she is the princess's personal maid that no one will suspect her." ”
"How is this possible? Why did she kill the princess? What is the rationale? Conan said with a furrowed brow.
"Because of jealousy." Li Canghai said deeply.
Hearing this, Lingji's delicate body trembled involuntarily.
Conan looked at Linghime and said with a frown, "Kill the princess just because you're jealous?" But it doesn't make sense, Reihime has never left the shrine, how does she know that there are snakes in the swamp east of the shrine? And how was the princess's body transported to the swamp? ”
Li Canghai said: "Speaking of this, I have to talk about one of her accomplices, Zhang Da!" ”
He clapped his hands, and one of the guards carried a head of water and poured it on the face of the unconscious man, who was drooping his head.
The man was awakened by the cold water, and was about to scold, but suddenly saw the people in front of him and was stunned.
When Wanyu saw the man, she immediately became angry, suddenly drew her bronze sword, scolded angrily, and slashed at him with her sword.
Seeing this, Li Canghai hurriedly grabbed Wanyu's wrist.
Wanyu's small body trembled constantly because of anger, and it seemed that she wanted to dismantle the man in eight pieces.
When the man saw Wanyu, he was also so frightened that his face turned bloodless.
"Wanyu, keep his dog's life first, and after finding out the truth, it's not too late to kill him." Li Canghai comforted.
Wanyu bit her lip, desperately trying to control her anger, thinking that she was almost insulted by this thief, Wanyu was extremely angry.
But she also knew that now was not the time to kill him, Wanyu's wrist flicked, and the bronze ancient sword suddenly flew out of her hand.
With a bang, the long sword was driven directly into the trunk of the man's shoulder, and the sharp blade was only half a finger away from the man's head, so frightened that he suddenly urinated.
Li Canghai said coldly: "This person's name is not Zhang Da at all, his name is Hong Tianxu, and he is a businessman in the Huainan Chamber of Commerce. He used the pseudonym Zhang Da and colluded with Lingji to secretly kill the princess, and the fact that there was a snake in the swamp was exactly what he said to Lingji. ”
"I didn't kill anyone, you don't want to wronged me!" Hong Tianxu saw that his identity was exposed, and he hurriedly shouted.
"What's going on here?" Conan's face was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Brother Li, how do you know that he is an accomplice?" ”
Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said, "Actually, since you left Dongying, Lingji has already made plans to kill the princess. It's just that she didn't have a chance on the boat, and when she came to this island, her chance really came. And all of this has to start with Hong Tianxu. ”
"Oh?" Conan clasped his hands to his chest and listened carefully to what Li Canghai said.
"Hong Tianxu is shrewd, well-informed, and very feminine, and Lingji took advantage of this to make him willingly become an accomplice." Li Canghai swept away Hong Tianxu and Lingji, and said lightly: "If I guessed correctly, Lingji was puzzled by Hong Tianxu with her beauty, and secretly communicated with him to poison the princess." Lingji wanted to kill the princess, Hong Tianxu mentioned the snake of the swamp, and the two set up this plan, first let the cook make snake soup, poison the princess to death, and then transfer the princess's body to the swamp. After that, the 'Epiphany' was used to confuse the public, so that the princess's death became an accident. ”
"Of course, this is only part of your plan. Lingji knew that Brother Conan was a criminal officer of Dongying and was good at solving cases, so just in case, she asked the cook to leave half a bowl of snake soup so that he could blame him, yes or no? Li Canghai stared at the two and said.
When the cook heard this, he almost jumped up, and he shouted, "What? You're trying to frame me? Well, no wonder you say to me that the princess thinks the snake soup is delicious, let me make more! ”
"I didn't! I didn't kill the princess, I didn't conspire with him, I was wronged! My lord, the slave and maid are wronged! Lingji turned pale and cried at Conan in panic.
Hong Tianxu's face was also ugly, and he shouted: "Nonsense! You're being framed! I'm a shipwrecked businessman, how dare I kill a princess? You say I conspired with her, but I would like to ask you, what is the evidence? ”
Li Canghai glanced at him and said coldly: "You want to see the evidence?" Okay, I'll show you the proof! (To be continued.) )
