Chapter 133: The murderer turned out to be him
After the figure looked at Liu Hua and the others, his face changed instantly, and he saw that everyone was looking at him in disbelief, and the figure didn't know what to do, at this moment, Hua Dashao walked up to the figure with an angry face: "Dongfang can make trouble, I never thought that the master was killed by you, a white-eyed wolf, you are so ruthless?" ”
It turned out that this figure who sneaked into Liu Hua's room turned out to be the deceased Dongfang's hard-lived righteous son Dongfang Nenghao, hearing Hua Dashao's question, Dongfang Neng's face flashed a trace of paleness, and he wanted to defend a few words, but when he saw the smoke pipe and dagger in his hand, he couldn't say a word.
Those people behind Liu Hua are several elders and people with higher prestige in the Dongfang clan, in addition to these people, Dongfang Nengren and Dongfang Heal are also in the crowd, everyone looks at Dongfang Neng, and when they are surprised in their hearts, they don't know what to do?
Because they couldn't believe that Dongfang, who was usually filial to the deceased, could be a murderer.
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Dongfang Neng glanced at the people opposite, and then locked his eyes on Liu Hua: "It seems that all this is your masterpiece, when did you start doubting me?" ”
"From the time I took out my official certificate and the order of the Criminal Department, I was suspicious of you."
When the words fell, Liu Hua recalled: "In order to prove my identity, I took out the official certificate issued by the Ministry of Officials and the appointment order issued by the Criminal Department. To tell you the truth, although the official certificate and the appointment have been on me for a while, I still can't recognize the seal on it, because half of the seal is engraved in seal script and the other half is engraved in Manchu, and I know neither seal script nor Manchu script, if these two seals are printed on a blank piece of paper, I can't even recognize which yamen the seal belongs to, let alone distinguish between the real and the fake. But when you see those two seals, you immediately recognize the origin of the two seals. I can't help but wonder if it's true or false, what did you, a person who had never been out of the Hexagram Immortal Ridge, use to distinguish the authenticity and provenance of those two seals? Only those who have seen such seals. And after carefully observing the seal, I can distinguish which seal belongs to the Ministry of Officials and which seal belongs to the Ministry of Punishment, and ordinary people cannot see this kind of seal, so I suspected at the time that you must have seen this kind of seal before. ”
After hearing this, Dongfang Neng nodded: "I didn't expect such a small flaw to be discovered by you, it is indeed amazing." Three years ago, I did see the seal of the ministry once. ”
Hearing this, Liu Hua frowned slightly: "Three years ago? I heard someone say once, three years ago, it seems that a Taoist priest named Zhang Mingde came here to challenge. Although he was defeated afterwards, he also left a legend, could it be that you saw the seal from that Zhang Mingde? ”
"Yes, Zhang Mingde is a Taoist priest on the surface, but in fact, he is the person of the current prince, Zhang Mingde specializes in helping the prince in the outside world, after coming here. He said that I had an order from a very popular minister to help the prince do things, and in order to prove his identity, he took out an official certificate stamped with the seal of the ministry and an identity certificate stamped with the seal of His Royal Highness the prince. ”
Speaking of this, Dongfang Neng's expression had calmed down.
He looked at Liu Hua and asked slowly: "The whole process of killing my father-in-law, I asked myself seamlessly, how did you lock on me?" ”
When Dongfang Neng talked about Zhang Mingde's help with the prince's network strange people, Liu Hua's mind faintly flashed a trace of impression.
He remembered that when he read novels in his previous life, he had a description of Zhang Mingde.
This person is a strange person, who once helped the eldest brother Yinyu to see the appearance, saying that the eldest brother has the appearance of the emperor, but the eldest Ah Fu finally ended up in a lifelong solitary confinement.
also helped the prince meet and said that the prince was forever, but the prince was later imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
Later, it was said that the eighth elder brother Yinxi would be very expensive, but the eighth elder brother Yinxi was killed by Yongzheng after failing to compete for the throne.
Liu Hua felt that Zhang Mingde's name was somewhat familiar before, but he never remembered where he had heard it?
Now that Dongfang can make such a fuss, he recalled.
Hearing that there are also traces of Zhang Mingde in this hexagram Xianling, Liu Huaxin said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Mingde to come here, this is the hard life of Dongfang This guy has a hard life, and he has resisted for three years. ”
Liu Hua was distracted, and suddenly caught a glimpse of everyone staring at him, he then remembered what he was doing, after hearing the problem that Dongfang can make, Liu Hua coughed, collected his thoughts, and then said: "Actually, I didn't suspect you at the beginning, because at that time you had a leg injury and difficulty moving, and I directly ignored you." I was suspicious of the target, but when I deliberately asked him to do my autopsy, I immediately ruled him out. At that time, I carefully observed Hua Dashao's every move and bodily reaction, this guy is a good hand at collecting money, but he has a natural fear of corpses, and that fear can't be pretended. How could a person who had so much trouble even unbuttoning a corpse kill the murderer and help the deceased change his pajamas in a short period of time? Moreover, because of Hua Dashao's great fame, there is an endless stream of people who come to him to tell the hexagram, and if he suddenly disappears for a while, it will definitely attract the attention of the seekers. At the beginning, in my heart, in addition to Hua Dashao, there were two suspicious people, namely Dongfang Nengren and Dongfang Healer, but Dongfang Nengren had not been in contact with the deceased for ten years, and if he appeared near the deceased, I am afraid that he would immediately attract the attention of the clansmen. Dongfang Healer is Langzhong in the clan, and he usually has frequent contact with the deceased, and he was very suspicious, but on the day the deceased was killed, he was boiling medicine in the room, except for helping you bandage the wound once, he never went out at all. According to the analysis of this line of thought, I found one thing, that is, you who were injured in the leg, when the deceased was killed, never appeared in front of people, and when you appeared in the sight of the clansmen, it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon, that is, in the middle of the Shen time. At that time, your leg was injured, and you asked your neighbor to go to Dongfang for treatment and let him help you bandage the wound. I asked Dongfang to heal the disease, and yesterday afternoon in the middle of Shenshi, you asked your people to call him, and after meeting, you told him that you accidentally broke your leg while climbing a tree in the woods to catch birds. If I'm not mistaken, you had already killed the dead by then, and after faking the scene, you quietly returned home. In order to create alibi evidence, and to get rid of your own suspicion, you deliberately injured your own leg. Because you know, when the old patriarch slept, he snored very loudly, and if at night, when they passed by the patriarch's house, they could not hear the snoring, they would become suspicious, and then they would definitely go to the house of the deceased to check. Although you have arranged the deceased to die of natural causes, you are afraid that something unexpected will happen, so you have staged a bitter ploy to injure your own leg and cover up your crime with a leg injury. But there is one thing, I'm afraid you never expected, it is this leg injury that makes you show the biggest flaw. ”
