Chapter 37: Gu Yi's inquest

Inside the towering building.

Han Song followed behind Gu Yi and watched intently at the young son's inspection scene.

Gu Yiben had already inspected the scene yesterday, and he came again today, because he was the son of the Punishment Lord, Han Song had to accompany him carefully.

Gu Yi glanced at the scene in the building with his hand, glanced at Gu Ziying, who had already prepared paper and pens and was going to come to him as a scribe, nodded slightly, and shouted loudly:

"The pavilion on the third floor of the towering green building is three zhang high, forty-eight zhang in circumference, there are twenty-four large windows on the south and north sides, facing the lake in the west, and there are four small arrows on the wall panel on the east side, and two more are shot into the right back of the king's seat."

He frowned and thought about it, and then said: "Last night, he took out two small arrows from the waist of Geji Cuiniang, three from Chen Xianggong's right shoulder, and four from Lord Wang's left shoulder, a total of fifteen small arrows. ”

Gu Ziying changed her naughty attitude in the past, moved her pen like flying, recorded what Gu Yi said one by one, and sighed: "It seems that this assassin is here to assassinate King Qinruo." ”

Gu Yi nodded: "Yes, this arrow cluster is sent out with the help of a mechanism, the position and angle are carefully calculated, and the arrow cluster is aimed at the position of the chief in the middle."

However, unfortunately, yesterday was Chen Xianggong's birthday, and Wang Daren invited Chen Xianggong to sit side by side, so the attendant moved his seat to the north and moved another chair to his left.

As a result, although the arrows shot from the west were aimed at the center, they only hit the left shoulder of Lord Wang and the right shoulder of Chen Xianggong. ”

Hearing him say this, Han Song and Gu Ziying both showed expressions of sudden realization, and Han Song praised: "This assassin's assassination method is really clever, and the assassin's method of using the elastic power of the bamboo pole is extremely ingenious, and the assassin himself can get out of the matter safely and stay out of the matter, it is really not simple." ”

Gu Yi heard about Han Song and Duan Yi'an from Song Guichen's mouth, and was wary of this smiling face, but in fact he was ruthless, so he always paid attention to his movements, and even guessed whether the assassin would be Han Song.

However, seeing that Han Song was greatly surprised at this time, and unabashedly praised the assassin's assassination plan, Gu Yi's suspicions in his heart were slightly relieved, and he said secretly: Could it be that Han Song has nothing to do with this matter?

Gu Yi said with a smile: "I have already seen the personnel on duty in the building that Han Caiban presented yesterday, and I have a few questions I want to ask Han Caiban." ”

"Gu Gongzi, please ask."

"Since last night, such a big thing has happened in the Towering Building, I haven't seen the building chief, I don't know if the building director is free today? There are a few words I want to say to the building manager face to face. ”

Han Song replied: "Our building chief traveled to Jianghuai a few days ago, and the affairs in the building were all handed over to the small one. ”

"So." Gu Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, "I see that there are a total of one hundred and eight employees registered on your roster, and it seems that all the personnel in the building have arrived?" ”

Han Song said: "Yes, because I know that yesterday was Chen Xianggong's birthday, I can't be sloppy, so I ask all personnel to be on duty." ”

Gu Yi nodded, and thought of Cui Niang's poisoning after drinking the tea presented by Song Guichen himself, and thinking of Song Guichen's saying that Han Song wanted to kill him a few days ago, he couldn't help but look at Han Song a few more times.

Seeing this, Han Song said, "Gu Gongzi, what else do you have to ask?" There was an assassination case in the building, and everything was complicated, and I hope that Gu Gongzi will find out the truth as soon as possible and arrest the real culprit. ”

"Don't worry, Han Cai, no matter how subtle the assassination is, there will be traces to follow, who the murderer is, I will definitely find out."

Gu Yi turned around and continued to investigate the scene in the building, and noticed that the incense in the small bronze incense burner on the narrow desk behind the screen in the middle had burned out, his eyes moved, he glanced at Han Song quietly, and then looked away and came to the front of the first seat.

picked up the teacup that Cui Niang drank yesterday on the table, lifted the teapot on the side, poured himself a cup of tea, and sent it to his mouth cleanly.

"Third brother!" Gu Ziying, who was carrying a pen and a book on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but she didn't have time to stop it, and said in a panic, "Third brother, what are you doing?" This tea is poisonous, quickly, spit it out. ”

Gu Yi put down the teacup, waited quietly for a while, turned back to Gu Ziying and said, "This tea is not poisonous." ”

"What's going on?"

Gu Ziying had read the case report recorded by the scribe yesterday, and Cui Niang drank the tea in the teacup, and it was clearly poisoned.

Gu Yi smiled slightly: "Ziying, continue to record." ”

Although Gu Ziying's mind was full of questions, she still obediently returned to the table and picked up the pen.

I only heard Gu Yilang's voice: "There is a six-fold screen in the building, and there is a narrow table behind the screen, and there is a three-ding incense burner on the table. ”

"Gu Gongzi is really meticulous, and the finesse of this record of the case is admirable to the villain." Han Song suddenly came forward, "I just don't know, what does this screen incense burner have to do with the case, why did Gu Gongzi deliberately record this?" ”

Gu Yihan glanced at him with a smile and explained: "Han Caiban doesn't know, this criminal department has to do this, restore the scene as much as possible, how wide and high this building is, it must be recorded word for word, and it will be well documented in the future." ”

"I see." Han Song seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Yi said: "There's nothing to do here, the affairs in the building are complicated, so Han Cai will go and get busy." ”

After Han Caiban left, Gu Ziying stepped forward and said, "Third brother, what's going on with this tea?" ”

Gu Yi was silent, beckoned her to the back of the screen, reached out and dipped the burned incense ash in the incense burner, sniffed it lightly in his nose, and said in a deep voice: "I drank this tea just now, but nothing happened, so it can be seen that there is no poison in the tea at this time." ”

"But Cui Niang was indeed poisoned last night." Gu Ziying said, "Could it be that Cui Niang poisoned herself and wanted to blame Xiaochen?" ”

"It's not impossible."

Seeing that he was answering himself casually, still concentrating on studying the incense burners, Gu Ziying was helpless: "That Cui Niang and Xiaochen have no grievances, why should she blame Xiaochen?" ”

"Who's going to blame me?"

A voice came from behind the screen, and Gu Ziying and Gu Yi looked up to see that it was Du Qingshan and a young man walking over.

"Brother Du, why are you here?" Gu Yi hurriedly walked around to the screen, looked at the young man beside Du Qingshan, and frowned slightly, "If Wang Qinruo knew that Xiaochen was here, he would definitely not let her go." ”

Du Qingshan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Uncle Wu's disguise technique has really regressed, Xiaochen was tossed like this by him, and Brother Gu can actually see that she is Xiaochen." ”

Gu Yidao: "It's not difficult to guess, who else will be by your side today besides her?" ”

He heard early in the morning that Du Qingshan sneaked into the state capital last night and rescued Xiaochen, and his heart was relieved when he heard the news.

Now seeing Du Qingshan following a person dressed like a tomboy, he naturally guessed that the other party was Song Guichen.

Song Guichen couldn't help but secretly praise, Brother Gu was really careful.
