Li Longji was slightly stunned, it seemed that it was indeed as he said, which made people a little puzzled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After pondering for a moment, Li Longji continued: "But if your daughter is not the murderer, why is she holding the murder weapon in her hand?" Why did the deceased appear in the courtyard from the bed in the house? ”

Li Canghai solemnly bowed to Li Longji and said deeply: "Your Majesty, there is a deep blood feud between the righteous daughter of the minister and the deceased...... The story on the shadow puppet show is about the experience of the minister's righteous daughter. ”

"So that's the truth! No wonder she would want to commit murder! Li Longji was slightly stunned, and said with emotion: "At a young age, you have such courage, it's rare!" But since she didn't kill anyone, why did she hold a murder weapon? ”

Li Canghai sighed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister asked her, and according to her, when she entered the mansion, she saw the deceased lying on the ground with a dagger in his abdomen. She wondered if the deceased was really dead, so she pulled out the dagger and held it in her hand, and at that moment the catcher rushed into the courtyard. ”

"I see." Li Longji nodded, and then asked, "Since the deceased was not killed by your righteous daughter, how can the body of the deceased appear in the courtyard?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this brings us to the fourth point mentioned by the minister, the traces of the scene. Judging from the traces at the scene, the deceased was dragged from his bed to the hospital. If you want to set up this situation, you must not leave the deceased outside too much in advance, because it is cold outside, and if it is too long, the corpse will stiffen, and the blood will freeze, and the flaws will be exposed. The only way to do this is to hide the body in the futon and drag it to the courtyard before the little girl arrives. It's just that time is too rushed, and the murderer is coming and cleaning up the traces. Maybe even the murderer didn't expect that these traces would become crucial clues in this case. As he spoke, Li Canghai glanced at Song Kun casually.

I don't know if he felt the faint killing intent in Li Canghai's eyes, Song Kun couldn't help but shudder.

"What you're saying is a bit unbelievable, it's hard to believe. What I don't understand is that she's just a child, so why would someone frame her? Li Longji frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will tell the whole thing again. The reason why the murderer took great pains to frame the little girl was not because he had a grudge against the little girl, but because he used it to contain the ministers. Li Canghai said.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Li Longji asked.

"Actually, the whole thing is carefully planned and tailor-made for ministers. The murderer knew that there was a deep blood feud between the little girl and Zhang Wenyuan, so he made a series of plans. First of all, the murderer revealed the story between them to the shadow puppet troupe, and asked the shadow puppet troupe to perform around Chang'an City to publicize the matter. Secondly, the murderer calculated Qing'er's lively personality and guessed that she would definitely take her little sister out. As long as Qing'er takes her little sister out, the murderer has a way to let her tell the story. And in fact, it is true, that day Chen and Qing'er took their little sister out, and encountered thieves and thieves in the crowd, Chen and Qing'er stepped forward to chase them, and the little sister was scattered by the crowd and watched Zhang Wenyuan's shadow puppet play of persecution of the Lin family. ”

"Why did the murderer ask her to watch this shadow puppet show?" Li Longji asked puzzled.

"Back to Your Majesty, this shadow puppet show reveals an extremely important message. And this information will only be known to the little sister. Li Canghai replied.

"Oh? What is the information? ”

"Zhang Wenyuan is where he settled in Chang'an." Li Canghai said solemnly.

After a pause, he continued: "But this story cannot be known to the minister, so they found a thief and lured the minister away. Only when Xiaomei knows Zhang Wenyuan's whereabouts can their next plan continue. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen and Qing'er were not at home, and the murderer first found a hairy thief, pretended to be Zhang Wenyuan to lure the little sister out, and then took him all the way to the scene of the crime. Immediately afterwards, when the little sister was led to the scene of the murder, the murderer dragged out the body of Zhang Wenyuan, who had already died, and at the same time, the arrester arrived and happened to see the little sister and the corpse lying on the ground, so he would take it for granted that the little sister had killed someone. Just because Lin Xiaomei is the righteous daughter of the minister, Lord Yin Han of Chang'an Mansion did not dare to interrogate him, so he entered the palace overnight to explain the matter. When the minister heard that this matter was related to the little sister, he naturally panicked in his heart, so he ignored other aspects. ”

Li Longji stroked his beard and frowned, "Is there any evidence for what you said?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has caught the two thieves found by the murderer, and Your Majesty can interrogate them personally." Li Canghai said.

"I believe what you say, and there is no need for a trial. But I still don't understand one thing, why did the murderer kill Ning Xiang's family? Li Longji pointed to the sobbing incense and asked.

"Kill people!" Li Canghai said deeply.

"The role of the shadow puppet troupe is to inform Xiaomei of Zhang Wenyuan's hiding place. And His Majesty ordered the minister to investigate the case thoroughly, and the murderer was worried that the minister would find out his true identity, so he decided to kill people! After a pause, Li Canghai continued: "Actually, it is not only the shadow puppet troupe that the murderer wants to kill, but also the two thieves who were used by him. Fortunately, the murderer didn't seem to think of killing the two thieves at first, but in the end he fell into the hands of the minister, which can be regarded as the restoration of Skynet. ”

"Oh? So you caught the real culprit? Li Longji said in surprise.

Li Canghai shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister did not catch the real culprit, what the minister caught was only the murderer of the shadow puppet troupe, that is, the accomplice of this case." They are two notorious gangsters who were wanted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the past, but later disappeared. ”

"I'm really getting more and more confused, who is this murderer?" Li Longji asked puzzled.

Li Canghai took out the portrait and unfolded it: "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the suspected murderer drawn by the minister based on the two thieves. This person's name is Qiu Mad, and he is a famous ringing horse in the rivers and lakes, who has committed many murders, and is also a member of the wanted Ministry of Crime. Like the two evildoers, this person's sea fishing documents were only issued for a year, and then they were removed by the Criminal Department. ”

Li Longji's face suddenly fell when he heard this, he glanced at everyone, and said, "Where is the book of the Criminal Department?" ”

In the crowd, an old minister who was more than half a hundred years old walked out.

"The minister is here." The old minister knelt on the ground and saluted.

"I ask you, why do such wicked people remove their sea-catching papers?" Li Longji shouted.

The old minister hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The old minister's eyes are dizzy, but can you allow the minister to take a closer look at the portrait?" ”

When Li Canghai heard this, he handed the portrait to the old minister.

After squinting at the cloudy old eyes for a while, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister remembered." A year after the issuance of this person's sea arrest document, someone came to the Criminal Department with his head to receive the reward, saying that this person had been ambushed. When the minister saw that the man was dead, he withdrew the sea fishing paper. (To be continued.) )
