Joint trials
"Why didn't Yun Gongzi leave!" Shangguan Jing asked. Yun Rong didn't answer very skillfully inserted the folding fan into his waist and pinned it, he walked to the corpse in a few steps and squatted down to examine it carefully, Shangguan Jing felt a little incredible, this dashing and red brother would actually take the initiative to participate in this homicide case, but thinking about it this way, his father is the imperial secretary of Dali Temple must have been exposed to it since he was a child, maybe with his help, this case can be solved as soon as possible.
"The corpse is still ......warm," he said, pressing his hand on the corpse, and continued, "Judging by the stiffness of the muscles, it has been less than half an hour since he died. Shangguan Jing also inspected the scene of the crime and said, "Half an hour ago, most of the people in the palace were at the banquet. "According to you, the people at the banquet can clear the suspicion?" What about you? How?" Yun Rong deliberately embarrassed her, and Shangguan Jing was not afraid at all.
"Look at what you said, no one can rule out suspicion without any clues now, right?" Shangguan Jing threw the pot to Murong Shuo again, but Murong Shuo didn't care about her at all.
Good! It's just that she's bored with herself.
"What's going on with Young Master Yun, what did the corpse tell you?"
Yun Rong has never been careless about the investigation of the case, although he usually acts more romantically, but as long as the nerves in his whole body are tense at the beginning of the investigation, his blood is boiling. is really worthy of being the son of the Yuqing of Dali Temple, and he didn't embarrass his father at all.
Yun Rong took out a square handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands, and said, "There are no bruises on the corpse, it should be that the murderer killed him and cut off his head directly, and there are no traces of a fight around." ”
Shangguan Jing didn't say anything, and continued to rummage for clues.
Murong Shuo wandered around one table, he took a few deep breaths and suddenly felt that something was wrong. After a few investigations, he fixed his eyes on the extinguished incense burner. Murong Shuo finally spoke: "It's Mixiang." ”
"Miao?" Shangguan Jing and Yun Rong said in unison.
They gathered around Murong Shuo, only to see Murong Shuo open the incense burner that had been extinguished, twist a little incense ash from it, put it on the tip of his nose and smell it.
"Impossible! If it was Mixiang, Lord Wang should have fainted on the spot! Can ......" Yun Rong pointed to the head that was still hanging on the beam. The skull's eyes widened, and the boss was obviously frightened by what he had seen before he was killed.
"I see!" Shangguan Jing also smelled the incense ash, and suddenly understood what Murong Shuo meant.
"What do you understand?" Yun Rong asked.
Shangguan Jing replied confidently with a smile: "This kind of incense can be hallucinated, I have seen the people of the Northern Desert use it." ”
"No matter what it is, this murderer must have come prepared, he didn't do it sooner or later, but he chose to murder a court official on the day of the banquet." Yun Rong analyzed seriously. Shangguan Jing knew that he was intentional, so he asked clearly: "What does Yun Gongzi want to express?" Yun Rong looked at Murong Shuo and said, "I don't know if the prince knows who this Jingyang Mansion has a grudge with recently?" Murong Shuo just glanced at him faintly and turned away, without answering a word, Yun Rong felt that he was deeply despised. Shangguan Jing patted Yun Rong's shoulder and comforted: "Yun Gongzi don't worry, he is like this." Shangguan Jing clapped his hands and said: "I think so, after all, this is a first-class member of the imperial court, so he can't be sloppy, so he will be handed over to Dali Temple to deal with." Yun Rong took the folding fan in his hand again, shook the fan and strode out.
Murong Shuo didn't say a word, left the room and disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Shangguan Jing was the only one left in the house, and she was going to cry now! was disgusted by Murong Shuo's ice cube again.
Shangguan Jing inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bloody head again, and suddenly felt numb, as if his butt was on fire, and slipped away.
King Jingyang really sent someone to notify Dali Temple, and Yun Zhannan, the imperial secretary of Dali Temple, quickly brought people to the scene of the crime, protected the scene, and brought the body back to Dali Temple for careful examination.
The guests in the Jingyang Palace still couldn't go out, and the King of Jingyang personally ordered the blockade of the palace. After all the cadres of Dali Temple were withdrawn, King Jingyang found Murong Shuo and Shangguan Jing to ask the reason.
"Ah Jing, you were the first to discover Lord Wang's body, but what did you find?" King Jingyang rubbed his eyebrows and asked irritably. Shangguan Jing replied respectfully: "There is no trace of a fight in the room, it should be that the murderer took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill with a blow, and the prince noticed a trace of something strange in Lord Wang's incense burner, we suspect that someone entered Lord Wang's room as early as before the banquet began, and put a spice that can cause hallucination when it smells too much in the incense burner, Lord Wang may have hallucinated when he returned to the room after being drunk and smelled this spice and hallucinated before the murderer had a chance." Shangguan Jing's remarks were methodical and convincing to King Jingyang.
"And who do you think did it?" King Jingyang asked again. Shangguan Jing replied again: "This murderer is skillful, and it is definitely not the first time he has committed a crime, as for why he chose to do it in the palace, we still don't know." King Jingyang sighed and looked at Murong Shuo, who had been standing silent, and asked, "Shuo'er, what do you think?" Only then did Murong Shuo speak: "The child thinks that this matter is not so simple. King Jingyang looked at his son with an expectant gaze, he knew that his precious son had been very clever since he was a child, and he must have a unique opinion. Shangguan Jing stood beside him, curious how he would guess the truth behind the murder.
Murong Shuo said quietly: "Everyone in the court knows that Lord Wang has always been on your side, and he is a first-class member of the court, in a high position, you will definitely be like a tiger with his help." But now that he has suddenly died in the palace, it will inevitably affect you, and perhaps the purpose of this murderer is to disintegrate your power. ”
After listening to Murong Shuo's speculation, Shangguan Jing felt that what he had just said was really difficult to be elegant.
"You mean that this murderer is very likely to be related to a certain minister of the DPRK and China!" King Jingyang Road. Murong Shuo said again: "Father, have you offended a certain minister in the court for anything recently?" King Jingyang shook his head decisively and said, "The current situation between the DPRK and China is divided into two factions, and everyone has a very clear division of labor and will not offend others because of anything. King Jingyang paused and continued: "If you have to offend, it will be the royal family. ”
When it comes to the royal family, Shangguan Jing is the clearest.
The so-called royal family is nothing more than the hegemon headed by the Empress Dowager Leng Yang, the new emperor Murong Chen has ignored the government since he ascended the throne, and the power in the court has slowly transferred to the hands of the Empress Dowager. For the sake of real power, his father and many ministers in the court did not give the queen mother a lot of anger, so she is still very clear about this.
"No matter what, this murderer must still be in the palace." Shangguan Jing was very sure. Murong Shuo added: "And he will do it again." King Jingyang looked at his son, Murong Shuo rarely said so much, "Killing a court official is not his ultimate goal, he will definitely do it again tonight!" Shangguan Jing's heart was a little furious when he said this, but what he said was not false. Looks like I'm going to want a good night's sleep tonight!
