Chapter 445: Greed
After saying this, Li Canghai took out half of the corner of his shirt from his sleeve, and after unfolding it, everyone saw a footprint painted with black charcoal on it, and said: "This is the shoe print found near the princess's body, as long as you compare it with the shoes you are wearing, you can know." ”
When Conan heard this, he immediately ordered someone to take off Hong Tianxu's shoes, and then carefully compared the footprints on the corners of his shirt and found that the two matched perfectly.
Conan's face instantly turned cold, he pointed at Hong Tianxu, and shouted: "So far, what else do you have to say?" ”
Hong Tianxu's pupils contracted, and he tried his best to defend: "Even so, it can only mean that I have been to the swamp, why do you say that I am an accomplice?" ”
Li Canghai snorted coldly and said, "Just by virtue of this footprint, it was found from the princess's body. It can be proved that the princess's body was brought out of the shrine and thrown into the swamp! ”
"There are only the main entrance and side entrances in and out of the shrine, and they are all guarded, if I take the princess's body out of the shrine, how can I not be found?" Hong Tianxu's face turned blue and shouted loudly.
Li Canghai said lightly: "This is why I said before, Lingji has already had the heart to kill the princess." Because, she planned everything in Dongying. I have always found it strange that Dongying is not without people with strong martial arts, why did the princess choose two fat and thin guards to protect the princess. These two people, one greedy and the other lazy, would not have any effect at all if they were in danger, but the princess let them go with them. But after I knew the identity of the murderer, I knew the reason. ”
"Why?" Conan frowned, and it was clear that he wanted to know too.
"Because these two people are very important in Lingji's plan, if they are changed to other people's guards, Lingji wants to murder the princess, which is tantamount to ascending to the sky. But these two are different, these two, one is gluttonous and the other is lazy, and they are easy to take advantage of. In addition to this, there are cooks. It was because of the three of them that Lingji's plan was implemented. If it weren't for the fact that the princess didn't have snake tooth scars, I am afraid that no one would have imagined that the princess was actually killed by the closest people around her. Li Canghai said.
"Wronged! Slaves and maids are wronged! Lingji said with a pale face.
"Wronged?" Li Canghai snorted coldly and said, "You deliberately told the thin guard about the snake swamp, because you knew that the thin guard would definitely spread the word, and sure enough, the news reached the ears of the greedy fat guard." And the fat guard, because of his greed, revealed the news to the cook. The cook didn't want to catch the snake, but you saw the right moment and said that the princess wanted something good, and the cook had no choice but to go and catch the snake. ”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised, and they all looked at Lingji.
Li Canghai looked at Ling Ji, and then said: "After the princess died, in order to cooperate with Hong Tianxu to transfer the princess's body, you implemented another set of plans, and it was this plan that allowed Hong Tianxu to quietly transfer the princess's body. You know that the cook is greedy for money, so you take advantage of this and let him go and steal the tribute. At the same time, he hinted at the greedy fat guard, and asked him to take the opportunity to steal the food hidden by the cook, and secretly poured laxatives on the thin guard's food, causing them to leave their respective posts one after another. At the same time, Hong Tian Xu slipped into the shrine and transferred the princess's body to the snake swamp through the side door, and the whole process was done in one go without any mistakes. You've figured out the minds of each of them, and from that point of view, you do have something special. ”
Conan frowned tightly after hearing this.
From what Li Canghai said, it can be seen that this Lingji, who looks delicate on the surface, is very scheming and far beyond the reach of people.
This series of designs can be described as interlocking.
From this point, it can also be seen that Lingji has an extremely accurate grasp of everyone's thoughts.
The cook, the fat guard, and the thin guard have all become pawns in her hands, at her mercy.
"Wait, what did you say? Which tributes were stolen by the cook? Conan asked suddenly.
Li Canghai nodded.
Conan's face instantly drooped, and he looked at the cook sharply, and the cook suddenly turned pale with fright, and exclaimed, "Wronged! My lord, I was wronged! I didn't steal the tribute! ”
"You think you're fooling everybody? You said that you didn't steal the tribute, so let me ask you, on the night of the princess's disappearance, the fat guard went to steal the dried fish you had hidden, where were you at that time? Li Canghai asked indifferently.
"I ...... I had an abdominal discomfort and it was convenient to run. The cook was a little nervous, and he said eagerly, "If I stole the tribute, why should I stop the fat guard when he wants to destroy it?" ”
Li Canghai sneered and said, "Because you have already stolen some of the tribute at that time, you are worried that the fat guards will find out when they destroy it." So he deliberately blocked the fat guard loudly, the purpose was to lure Conan forward. Sure enough, Conan managed to stop the fat guards, and your theft of the tribute was not discovered. After this incident, you became even more emboldened, and took advantage of the night to drop all the tributes and replace them with stones! ”
"I didn't! If I stole so much tribute, where would I put it? If you don't believe it, go and search, and if you can find it, I will die without complaint! The cook blushed and shouted.
Li Canghai put his hands behind his back, glanced at him, and said, "Naturally, there are no tributes in this shrine, because those tributes have long been hidden by you in other places, under the cliff in the backyard!" ”
The cook, who was desperately refuting, was stunned when he heard this, and a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Li Canghai said leisurely: "The cliff in the backyard seems to be very deep, but it is only twenty zhang, and it is only because of the fog below that people mistakenly think that it is unfathomable. You take those tributes down there, then lower yourself with a rope, and then hide all the tributes in a nondescript cave, am I right? ”
The cook's body suddenly trembled involuntarily, his eyes widened, his pupils shrunk, his expression was like seeing a ghost in the daytime, and he said in horror: "You...... How do you know these ....... ”
"There is a saying in our middle school, 'If you want others to know, you can't do it unless you do.'" If you have done evil deeds, you will naturally be discovered. Li Canghai said lightly.
Conan's face was gloomy, and he could almost squeeze out the ink, and he said angrily, "You are so bold that you dare to steal the tribute? Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth! If there is half a lie, I will kill you!" ”
The cook knew that he could not deny it, so he fell to his knees and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency spares your life, and your Excellency is gracious!" It was the villain who was obsessed with his mind for a while, so he did such a wrong thing, and I beg the adults to be gracious! The villain didn't dare to fight the idea of these tributes, they were all Lingji! It was she who bewitched the villain, saying that the villain served others so much, why didn't she plan for herself, now that there is countless gold and silver on this island, why do you want to go to Datang to make a fortune? The villain was fascinated, so he had the audacity to steal the tribute. I beg you to spare your life! (To be continued.) )
