“…… Maybe it was because he was jealous in his heart and killed people. ”

Su'er listened to her eldest lady's lips move slightly, and read this passage at the same time as the scribe.

"Miss?" She was amazed.

Chi Yun smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers and made a silent gesture, motioning for her to listen.

After the scribe finished reading this paragraph, Lou Yan looked at Yu Ergongzi with a smile.

Yu Muzhi was a little confused.

He is not stupid, seeing Lou Yan acting like this, he guessed that he should have missed something, and now he has fallen into passivity. If you open your mouth again, it will become a ladder for the other party to step on.

But he was so curious!

Scratch your heart!

So he still asked, "What's wrong with this passage?" How can it be concluded that he is the murderer? ”

Everyone in the front hall also thought so, and when they heard Yu Ergongzi ask this sentence for them, they all looked at Lou Yan.

Say it!

Lou Yan said: "Presumably Second Prince Yu has heard that when the little pity died, the doors and windows of the house were closed, and the person was hanged inside. ”

"Not bad." That's why everyone is curious to see the excitement.

Lou Yan continued: "In this world, how can there be a real meaning of secret room killing? It's just a trick. We checked the house and made sure there was no other place to go in and out. Then, there is only one possibility, the murderer walked in through the gate, killed someone, and came out again. ”

"Since the doors and windows are locked, where did he come from? Will it shrink the bones? Someone shouted.

Lou Yan smiled, and suddenly dissolved the murderous aura on his body.

"This official has heard of the bone shrinking skill, but shrinking himself into a piece of paper and coming out of the crack in the door, this is not martial arts, but demon law."

When he smiled, the spectators became bold.

Someone shouted, "What's the mystery? Say it, don't be annoyed! ”

"Quite simply, he just came out of the house with dignity."

Everyone looked at each other.

What kind of nonsense is this? Isn't the door locked?

"It was locked, but then it was opened."

Touching his gaze, Yu Muzhi let out an "ah" and pointed at him and gasped.

"It seems that Second Prince Yu has already thought of it." Lou Yan picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Yu Muzhi finally took a breath and said, "That person, he hid in the house all night, and then his body was found and came out of the crowd watching the excitement. ”

Lou Yan smiled and nodded.

Yu Muzhi then frowned again: "But how can you be sure that this person is the murderer?" Isn't anyone who didn't have an alibi that night suspicious? ”

Lou Yan said lightly: "Second Prince Yu, think about it, what is wrong with that sentence just now. ”

The crowd pondered.

"I hit the incense burner when I watched the excitement, and I went back and threw away my clothes......"

Yu Muzhi stared at the blue and gray cloth on the ground.

"Incense burner, incense ......"

"Second Prince Yu is really quick-witted, and he has already thought of it." Lou Yan said lightly, "As we all know, this little pity is extravagant, the clothes she wears and the jewelry she wears are not ordinary, how can the incense she uses be ordinary goods?" This incense is called Nian Nujiao, and several of the raw materials come from the countries of the Western Regions such as Anxib and Qiuzi, which are very rare. ”

"But didn't he say it? I hit the incense burner to get the fragrance! Someone shouted loudly in the audience.

Lou Yan smiled when he heard this, and looked at Yu Muzhi: "Second son Yu, can you answer this question?" ”

Yu Muzhi nodded silently and replied softly: "When you are entertaining, you will definitely burn incense, Xiao Lian died in the middle of the night, then there will be no incense, and by the time the body is found, it will have already been extinguished." Only those who are in the house in the middle of the night will be burned off the corners of their clothes, and only those who have stayed in the house all night will be afraid that the aroma will be too strong and arouse suspicion, so they will throw away their clothes. ”

Lou Yan bowed: "Does Second Prince Yu still have questions?" ”

Yu Muzhi shook his head.

"I see!" Dai Jia finally figured it out, "This Lou Langzhong really has some ability. ”

Chi Zhang didn't expect that his seemingly absurd behavior was really meaningful. But he really didn't like Lou Yan acting like this, so he wrinkled his brows and didn't speak.

But Dai Jia urged him to be narrow, and he had to tease him: "Hey, do you still think it's unreliable?" ”

Chi Zhang was forced by him to be unable to do so, so he had to say: "Even if it makes sense, it's too far-fetched!" The spices should be burned, but maybe there is any leftover? It is not unusual to burn halfway to suppress the fire. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the guy who was caught really shouted: "Wronged! When the small one knocks down the incense burner, there is still residual incense, which will burn. Besides, the clothes are like this, how do you know if the aroma is heavy? ”

"This ......" Yu Muzhi was dumbfounded by the question.

Isn't it? It's been thrown away for a day, and if it weren't for the drunken Taiping soldiers, I'm afraid they would have been sent out. Piled up with those debris, the smell is mixed, and now it's hard to say whether the fragrance is heavy or not.

Lou Yan smiled, leaned over slightly, and leaned over to the man.

"Big, big ......" The guy's eyes flickered, but he made a fearless look, "The little one is not afraid of fighting, you don't want to bend into a move!" ”

With so many people in place, his execution will surely cause public outrage!

Lou Yan said: "You are really not small, you dare to hold the will of the people hostage and threaten the official." ”

"I didn't!" The man looked humiliated, "It's just an adult's evidence, it's really unconvincing!" How can you be sure that there was no Mars left at that time? Is the scent so strong on clothes? ”

Lou Yan nodded: "What you said makes sense, but it's ......"

But? What other evidence is there?

"Do you know why this official pays special attention to spices?" Lou Yan looked at him and smiled, "Because, this official's sense of smell is different from ordinary people since he was a child, even if you lose your clothes, but your hair and other places still have a strong fragrance." ”

"It can't be." The man blurted out, "I've washed it all!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the front hall.

Oh, washed.

Don't admit yourself!

The man panicked and hurriedly said, "I mean, I happened to take a shower last night!" ”

At this moment, a guy shouted loudly: "Zhu Chang, it turns out that you took a bath yesterday because of this!" I said how can you take a shower in broad daylight, and you don't even want to wait for hot water! ”

Although it has already started spring, the weather is still cold, and the drunk Taiping is not so harsh that it does not have hot water, who does not want to take a warm bath, and has to rub cold water?

There's no need to question it anymore.

Lou Yan smiled and said coldly: "Take it back!" ”

"Yes!" The servants agreed with a bang, gathered up a group of people, released the others, and bundled this one out of the house.

"Oh." Before going out, Lou Yan Shi Ran took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, "Thank you for the tea fee, the official is not easy to collect, so let them be shocked!" ”

The silver ticket shook lightly and landed on the desk.

If the amount of fifty taels is given to these fellows, each of them will have two or three taels, which is worth two months' wages.

But if the tea fee for the criminal department is so much, it is no wonder that people are too little.

This Lou Yan, who thinks he has little money, slaps him in the face in public, and he is not afraid of being impeached!

Dai Jia put his hand on Chi Zhang's shoulder and whispered, "Fortunately, your family gave five hundred taels ......."

The shopkeeper held back for a long time and squeezed out a few words: "Master Xie...... Raise your hand ......"
