At this time, some guards were hanging lanterns. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Suddenly, one of the guards swayed from side to side a few times due to the unsteady ladder under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.

Although the guard landed lightly on the ground, the lantern in his hand was thrown to the ground and instantly burned.

"How can it catch fire?" Li Canghai stared at the burning lantern and asked in a deep voice.

"Canghai, are you stupid? The lantern caught fire because there was a layer of paper pasted on the outside of the lantern, and there was a lit candle inside, and if the candle fell to the ground, of course it would catch fire! Di Qing was a little surprised, she touched Li Canghai's forehead, frowned, and said, "Strange, this forehead doesn't burn?" How did you become confused? Canghai, are you alright? ”

"There's a layer of paper on the outside of the lantern, so you can't see the candle inside?" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Li Canghai's mind.

"That's true!" Di Qing said in surprise.

"If you are covered in paper, you can't see what's inside...... Covered with paper....... Li Canghai suddenly patted his head and exclaimed: "I see, in fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" ”

He suddenly let out a loud shout, which immediately startled Di Qing.

"Canghai, what's wrong with you? Why are you always being shocked lately? Di Qing said in a daze.

"I think I'm close to catching the murderer, but ...... But there is still one thing that I don't understand, it's just a little bit close! Li Canghai said.

"Which point?" Di Qing asked.

"Hee-tae is crazy about ......." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

"Didn't he go crazy because he was cursed by the Golden Toad Sword?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

Li Canghai shook his head and did not speak.

At this time, several guards came over with some paper figures.

"What are you carrying paper people doing?" Li Canghai asked.

"Back to the prince, this is what the third prince ordered, the third prince said that the king has been funeral for a few days, make some paper figures and burn them for the king." The guard replied.

"Oh, alright, you can go." Li Canghai said with a sigh.

"These three princes are quite filial!" Di Qing looked at those paper figures and said, "However, these three princes are too devoid of common sense. What can this paper figure do on stilts? I can't walk steadily, so if I pour tea and water for the king of Silla in the underworld, I'm afraid that the tea will be poured directly on the king of Silla! ”

Although Di Qing was joking, these words attracted Li Canghai's attention.

He looked at the strange paper figure that several guards were carrying, the paper figure was no more than half a person tall, and it was only because there was a wooden stick tied under his body that it was easy to carry it, so that Di Qing mistakenly thought it was a paper man's stilts.

However, this makes the paper figure a lot higher out of thin air.

"Is that the reason?" Li Canghai stared at the paper man, and suddenly shouted.

"Canghai, what do you think of again? I'm going to scare you out of the woods! Di Qing said unhappily.

Li Canghai raised his head and said deeply: "Qing'er, you go and inform everyone, let everyone come to Jingyang Palace, and say that I have something to say." ”

Di Qing looked at him suspiciously, then nodded and turned to leave.

In the evening, in addition to Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and other guards, the rest of the princes and nobles of Silla and the ministers came to Jingyang Palace.

The corpse of the King of Silla was stored in the Jingyang Palace, and the two Tianzhu monks had been chanting sutras in the hall, while Li Canghai sat calmly on the side.

Everyone knelt three times and bowed nine times to the corpse of the king of Silla, and then the third prince stepped forward, he took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and handed it to Li Canghai, and said, "Uncle Wang, this is my nephew's investigation of everyone, please take a look at it." ”

Li Canghai nodded, took the booklet in his hand, and flipped through it casually.

"Uncle Wang, I don't know what is the matter with you calling us over?" The third prince asked.

"The main reason for calling you here is to explain to everyone the death of the king of Silla." Li Canghai said lightly.

Li Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Sir, have you found out the murderer of King Silla?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

"Didn't the king commit suicide because he was cursed by the Golden Toad Sword?"

"Yes! But listening to the tone of King En and King Su of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that there is another hidden secret, what is going on? ”

The ministers looked at each other and muttered quietly.

"Uncle Wang, was my father really killed?" The eldest prince's face was still pale, and he asked weakly.

Li Canghai glanced at everyone and said deeply: "Yes, Brother Wang, he didn't die of a curse, but of murder!" ”

"How is this possible? Who would have been so bold as to murder his father? The eldest prince was so angry that his body trembled incessantly, and he cried out in a lost voice.

The third prince Xizhen was also stunned for a moment, and he said suspiciously: "Uncle Wang, this doesn't make sense?" If the father did not die from the curse of the golden toad sword, then how can the father's death be explained? The father died in the Buddha hall, there are only footprints of the father and the king in front of the door, and there is a Buddha statue blocking the door in the door, if the father is killed, how did the murderer kill the father? How did you leave the Buddha Hall? ”

Not only the third prince, but everyone was confused.

Li Canghai said lightly: "What Xizhen said is right, these doubts are really incomprehensible. However, once I explain it to you, you will understand what is going on. ”

"First, let's talk about the footprints on the outside. The reason why we think that Brother Wang committed suicide is because we are confused by this line of footprints. It is true that, as everyone can see, there are only the footprints of Brother Wang in front of the Buddha Hall, and if Brother Wang is killed, it is impossible to leave no traces. But if you want to solve this answer, you need to know another thing, the time of Brother Wang's death. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the third prince said puzzledly: "Uncle Wang, didn't you say that the time of my father's death was between the time of the second and the second time?" ”

"The reason why I think that the time of Brother Wang's death is between the time of Yin and the time of Mao is because I fell into the trap of the murderer." Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and said,

"Traps? What traps? Li Yu touched his chin and frowned and asked.

"Footprints! It's footprints! The second prince Xiyuan said suddenly.

Li Canghai glanced at him in surprise and said approvingly: "Yes, I didn't expect you to be able to see the key, it seems that Brother Wang's choice is really right." ”

Everyone was confused by what they said, Li Yu scratched his ears and cheeks and asked, "How did the footprints become a trap?" ”

Li Canghai looked at the second prince and said, "Xiyuan, you can talk about it." ”

The second prince hesitated, nodded yes, and said, "The reason why Uncle Wang concluded that the time of his father's death was between the time of Yin and the time of Mao was because the footprints affected Uncle Wang's judgment. The temperature in the Buddha Hall is relatively high, and the dragon body of the father is in a warm state in the Buddha Hall, and it is difficult to determine the time of death, but the footprints outside the room gave Uncle Wang a hint. On the night of my father's death, it was snowing lightly. However, the footprints were not completely covered by snowflakes, and Uncle Wang deduced that the time of his father's death should not have been more than an hour, that is, between the time of Yin and the time of Mao.
