At this time, Chen Ying was still talking.

"Your Majesty, please also recall the confession of the county lord." She said, her voice becoming more and more assured: "Of the two people who talked secretly, the one who left an indelible impression on the county lord, made her hear the voice clearly, and feared it for four years, was the 'murderer'. As for the other person who left early, she only vaguely heard a few words from the other party. ”

She walked slowly to the brocade painting, did not stop, and walked back slowly: "On this premise, if this 'murderer' has a clear identity and is familiar with the county lord, there will be two possibilities: First, as soon as the county lord heard this, he immediately knew the identity of this person. However, this is not the case, the county lord listened to him for a long time, and he didn't hear a reason. From this, it can be preliminarily inferred that the relationship between him and the county lord is not an acquaintance. ”

She paused, and then continued: "Second, we can take a step back, and assume that the county lord was too flustered at that time to recognize the owner of this voice for a while; Or, he didn't have anything to do with the county lord before, but he has had a chance since then. Then, in the past four years, only the county lord met with this person and had a dialogue between the two sides, and with the county lord's deep impression of this person, he would definitely be able to recognize the voice that made her heart palpitate. ”

At this point, she raised her hand and swept her temples, her expression calm: "But the fact is that the county lord has not heard this person's voice in the past four years. Based on this, the courtiers preliminarily concluded that this person was not in the life circle of the county lord, and correspondingly, the existence of the county lord basically did not pose a threat to him. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded silently.

Chen Ying's analysis counts almost all possibilities.

At this time, Wen Chen Ying said again: "Combined with the above points, we can give this murderer a basic portrait." First, he has no intersection with the county lord, or the intersection is limited; Second, he was able to freely enter and exit the aristocratic banquet venues, which shows that he was not an ordinary commoner. Combining these two points, the possible identities of this murderer are as follows: servants, long-term attendants, coachmen, etc., or close guards, stewards, subordinates, etc., because they lurk in the mansions of wealthy nobles, so that they can have access to aristocratic banquets. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia sighed, picked up the teapot, and poured himself tea slowly: "The so-called 'portrait' of the murderer has already been obtained, but what do you think of the other person who left early?" ”

Chen Ying pondered for a moment, and said respectfully: "Extrapolating from their assassination of the county lord, the courtiers think that this man who left ahead of schedule, let's call him a mysterious person for the time being, and his preliminary portrait should be as follows: First of all, the mysterious person has an intersection with the life of the county lord, which shows that his identity is not low, and it is possible for high-ranking officials and nobles. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia's eyebrows moved, and he picked up the teacup, but he didn't drink it.

Chen Ying said again: "Secondly, the status of the mysterious man in the remnants should not be low, because he can access high-level secrets, such as weapons and the like; Thirdly, the mystery man is very cautious, or rather, more timid; Fourth, and more importantly, the relationship between the mysterious man and the murderer is more delicate. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Yuan Jia raised his eyebrows, with some curiosity on his face: "How did you come to this conclusion?" ”

"The way they get along is very interesting." Chen Ying said, with a strange smile on her face: "From the confession of the county lord, it is not difficult for us to know that the murderer has a very bad attitude towards the mysterious person, and the one who dominates the two is the murderer; But on the other hand, the identity of the mysterious person must be protected by the murderer, and he even does not hesitate to use extraordinary means. It can be seen that in the hands of the mysterious person, there must be something that the murderer wants, and this thing can only be obtained by the mysterious person. ”

"What do you think, or do you guess, what it would be?" Emperor Yuan Jia asked, and there was brilliance in his introverted eyes.

Chen Ying said bluntly: "If you want the courtiers to guess, the courtiers feel that it is nothing more than fame and fortune, the identity of the mysterious person, status, property, or his means of making money are irreplaceable, so although the murderer despises him, he has to protect him desperately." ”

"Reasonable." Emperor Yuanjia's jaw.

Rebellion and rebellion, this is a very expensive thing, these remnants are afraid that they are poor and crazy, and they are still desperately looking for money in Shandong.

Emperor Yuan Jia shook his head secretly.

If you are so greedy for money, you will die on money sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have another inference, although this inference may be a bit hasty, but the courtiers still feel that they have to report to Your Majesty." Chen Ying took two steps forward and bent down.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Emperor Yuan Jia's expression was gentle, and his complexion did not fluctuate.

Chen Ying stood up straight and said solemnly: "The courtiers believe that this mysterious person must have something to do with the assassination that happened in the Changqiu Hall last year. ”

She frowned slightly, but her voice was still calm: "Whether it is a female assassin sneaking into the Changqiu Palace; still used Qiao's younger brother to coerce Qiao Xiurong; Or is it that Imperial Doctor Wang Lian was bribed, hypothesized that Qiao Xiurong was pregnant, etc., these things are extremely difficult for ordinary people to do. The courtiers have reason to believe that the identity of this mysterious person on the surface, even if he is not a high-ranking official, at least he has a head and a face, and he is very comfortable in the capital. ”

She slowed down her speech and made her final judgment: "The courtiers think that this mysterious person is the biggest nail buried in the capital by King Kang's remnants, and he plays a pivotal role in this rebel group. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia pondered for a long time, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Okay." He nodded, placed the teacup on the table, and stood up beside the desk.

"Good." He looked at Chen Ying with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation: "You girl is really good, you live up to the gold medal I gave you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ying thanked him, thought for a while, and added: "When Your Majesty visits, please also pay attention to whether there are any high-ranking officials or nobles who suddenly left Beijing four years ago and came back four years later. Although this is extremely unlikely, it is not negligible. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia thought about it for a while, and immediately understood.

Chen Ying's words can be regarded as buttoning the last link.

Her previous assumption has always positioned the murderer in the crowd of people who "have no intersection with the county lord or little intersection", but in fact, there is another possibility, that is, the "murderer" did know the county lord, and quickly fled the capital after being frightened four years ago, and returned again four years later, but he heard the bell ringing, so he killed people.

Emperor Yuan Jia helped the case, and his index finger lightly buckled the table.

The possibility of such a situation is very slim.

The eldest princess's mansion has always come and gone, either nobles or high-ranking officials, and when King An's rebellion, Emperor Yuan Jia took the opportunity to quell the chaos and changed the officials in important positions all over again, these four or five years, it is the critical period for Emperor Yuan Jia to cultivate wings and straighten out the government.

However, the investigation still has to continue.
