Chapter 366: The Real Murderer Strikes
At this point, basically all the useful clues can be connected.
The only thing left is to identify the murderer.
Even though Qi Ping has sorted out all the evidence, he can't confirm the murderer, and he is still in a mess.
"General Qi's investigation can already clear your suspicions, and the rest should be returned to the officials in prison to find it."
Everyone knows that General Qi Ping's spear is invincible, and other than that, I have never seen what weapon he used.
Since the gunshot wound was covered up and used to blame others, it can basically be concluded that this incident was not done by General Qi Ping, so that Qi Ping's suspicion was cleared, and he could naturally let it go.
But Qi Ping was unwilling.
"The last general is quite handy in investigating the case, since the punishment department has not made progress on this case for a long time, it is better to hand it over to the end of the case, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end."
His attitude was a little tough, and even if it was King Li, it was difficult to speak.
Judging from the current situation, of course, it is better to let Qi Ping continue the investigation, but King Li is also afraid that he will do something in it, resulting in the final result not what he wants, but what Qi Ping himself wants.
Looking at the person in front of him who was only ten years older than himself, but with an aura that he didn't have, King Li was really shocked.
What is the reason why these ministers in the court can have such momentum, whether there is someone behind them to support them, or they are disrespectful to themselves, King Li fell into thought.
I am the honor of a country, why can so many people come to challenge my majesty?
"If General Qi wants to investigate the truth, then he will go, and there is no need to force it with this king. It's just that this king also wants to explain that General Qi is concerned about the truth, which is naturally good, but if there is any thoughts hidden in it, it will not be tolerated by this king. Among the stakes, please ask General Qi to think clearly. ”
Qi Ping naturally heard the meaning of his words, but he still insisted on investigating the case.
Just as he was leaving the palace, General Qin, who had been ill for a long time, came to him.
I hadn't seen him for many days, and I had never seen how he was sick, but when I saw him again today, I found that he looked good, and there was no sign of illness.
Qi Ping was thinking about things in his mind, but he suddenly remembered that General Qin had always been arrogant and carried his own sword with him, and every time he went to court, he had to hand it over to the attendants at the gate of the palace for safekeeping.
It's the same today.
He took advantage of this opportunity to walk quickly to the gate of the palace and asked those soldiers for General Qin's sword.
Although the soldiers were a little afraid, because of the majesty of General Qi, they still handed over their swords.
Qi Ping checked it on a whim, but he didn't expect to find an unexpected joy.
General Qin originally wanted to apply to King Li to refuse to be sent abroad, but King Li didn't know how to answer.
General Qin has been sent abroad many times, and it was Princess Yuanping's idea. But because of King Li's estrangement from Princess Yuanping, King Li was neither willing to let General Qin, who favored Princess Yuanping, stay in Xingdu, nor did he still want to transfer him far away as usual.
General Qin's request really made it a little difficult for him to reply.
"The last general wants to stay in the capital to protect His Majesty and the princess, I don't know why Your Majesty wants to object?"
General Qin asked like this, but King Li couldn't express his thoughts, so he only replied: "The general has made a meritorious contribution to the army, and he is naturally a great hero of his own attack." This matter of foreign assignment, this king still needs to think more. It's better to make a final decision tomorrow morning. ”
General Qin was not happy at this time, and still asked King Li to make a decision as soon as possible.
When the two were deadlocked, Qi Ping came from outside with General Qin's sword.
"General Qin naturally can't leave the Hindu, or even leave this palace." He came from outside with his head held high, and his eyebrows were very cold.
When King Li saw the long sword in his hand, he was dissatisfied.
It is disrespectful to carry a sword on the top of the main hall without permission, and looking at his expression, it is inevitable that King Li will think more.
"General Qi, you are so rude in front of the palace!" King Li scolded loudly.
Qi Ping hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood, this sword is not the last general's, but General Qin's." ”
General Qin listened to it, and his eyebrows twitched faintly.
"Your Majesty, please see." Qi Ping pulled out his sword as he spoke, and there was a bright light, and the soldiers guarding around couldn't help but step forward to be vigilant.
Although King Li was a little nervous in his heart, he still barely managed to settle down and looked at the sword.
"What's so unusual about this sword?"
Qi Ping pointed to a place on the body of the sword, which had a faint red color, as if it had not been wiped clean.
King Li couldn't see clearly in the high position, but decided to go down and look again.
"Is there any blood stain on the tip of General Yan's spear that has been wiped clean, and there are also blood stains on General Qin's sword, doesn't Your Majesty think it's too much of a coincidence?"
General Qin's eyes narrowed, revealing a very murderous intent towards Qi Ping.
King Li immediately said sharply to General Qin: "I don't know how General Qin will answer this?" ”
General Qin smiled brightly: "Your Majesty and General Qi have not misunderstood, it is indeed human blood stains on it, but it is not what General Qi said, it is General Yan's blood, but a subordinate in my mansion." ”
King Li and Qi Ping couldn't help but be stunned.
General Qin said: "That subordinate broke my beloved thing, and the last general killed it in a fit of anger, so there is this blood stain on the sword." ”
King Li naturally didn't believe his hasty words.
Qi Ping asked again: "Then General Qin, can you tell me where you are and what you did on the night of General Yan's death?" ”
"I was drinking with someone in the restaurant that day, and that friend and the second child in the restaurant can testify for me."
"Then call all those people, and the king himself will ask them." King Li ordered.
Qi Ping also felt that it was time for someone to come and testify, and if General Qin was asked to invite him personally, there might be a collusion of confessions.
General Qin nodded: "Can you please give me pen and ink to write down the list?" ”
King Li immediately handed him the pen and paper in front of the board, and just as General Qin was about to take it with both hands, he suddenly turned behind King Li and hooked his neck with his fingers.
"Don't move!" General Qin shouted loudly.
Those present, including Qi Ping and the guards, all had weapons in their hands, but no one dared to move.
"General Qin, if you have anything, just say it, don't do anything to hurt Your Majesty!"
General Qin sneered: "I know what you will do with me, isn't it a death penalty?" The death of the surname Yan is innocent, and I also have countless lives under my hands, and I am also damned, I have nothing to say. But before I die, whether or not I can pull someone on my back is something I can decide. ”
What he is holding in his hand now is the king of Zixi, and naturally no one dares to act rashly.
"I want to see Princess Yuanping, and I will wait for her in the side hall. If she doesn't come, my subordinates won't be able to tell the difference! ”
