Chapter 188: Analysis
On the morning of the second day, Mei Wu stood on top of the court as usual, and when she saw Jimo Yu walking in from the door of the Jinluan Palace, she nodded and smiled instead, while communicating something with Liu Yuan who was standing beside him.
In fact, in Jimo Yu's eyes, Mei Wu's forehead was slightly sweating after seeing him, although it was not noticed by the officials next to him, but Jimo Yu was a person who practiced martial arts, and his ears and smells were naturally more sensitive than ordinary people.
"Huh? Brother Mei, what's wrong with you today? I'm talking to you! Why are you always absent-minded? ”
"Huh? …… What are you talking about? What did Brother Liu just say? ”
"Your Majesty is here, I'll let you come back to your senses!"
Although Liu Yuan is very puzzled about the state of Meiwu today, but the prince's party has been completely cleared, and even the prince himself has been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
Mei Wu visited the saint with the others, so she didn't have time to see Jimo Yu's slightly scrutinizing gaze at Liu Yuan. The emperor specifically pointed out this morning that no matter what the result is, the crown prince must be abolished, and there will be no day for the prince's party to turn over.
Emperor Chrysostom said that he would not take back what he said, so that all the ministers who had expectations for the crown prince secretly defected to other camps, and even the three princes, who had always been lazy and did not care about things and had no status in the court, have recently been abandoned by many people.
No matter who these officials turn to, the crown prince is no longer the prince, and the originally very competitive person in the court has left the stage like this, so the rest is naturally the party of the prince who everyone knows, and the party of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Yongshou King who are still in Yucheng.
Some people have thrown themselves to Tongguan Town, and some people feel that the emperor will definitely be afraid of the power of the prince, and if he wants to balance the dominance of the prince's family, he will definitely vigorously cultivate the Nine Emperors, so he decisively helped the King of Yongshou.
The most critical point is that there is basically no one in the family of the prince to stand up behind him now, and the king of Yongshou is different, Shufei Niangniang is one of the four concubines, and the emperor likes the nine princesses, and the mother family of Shufei Niangniang is an indispensable vein to guard Taiji Mountain.
In this way, the number of the Nine Emperor Princes of the clan was faintly equal to that of the supporters of the Emperor Yu, and there was a tendency to surpass, which made the originally biased court rebalance for a while, like a balance of the same weight on both sides, and the weight in these two trays was not known to be greater than the brotherhood between their brothers.
The night in Tongguan Town is still bleak, but the pond is still green with large lotus leaves, and occasionally small red fish show their heads to play among the lotus leaves, spitting out strings of naughty bubbles on the water surface.
And sitting in the house writing and painting on rice paper Le Zhengyu, is waving the pen in his hand rustling, in the quiet night can best figure out some things that can't be figured out during the day, after the death of twelve people in a row, the people have spread the murder of the evil god in Tongguan Town, and the people with school-age daughters around them have even begun to move their families.
The candle flame shone on the woman's face, and the faint flame seemed to be about to burn out, and on the rice paper was already a vivid picture, in which a woman was sleeping, with a thin brocade quilt on her body.
The candle flame not far from her was suddenly ignited by a breeze-like force, and the woman suddenly opened her eyes unknowingly, but her eyes were a little more blurry, in front of her half-asleep eyes, a man loomed, and finally the woman couldn't stay asleep after all, and fell on the jade pillow and never woke up.
On a piece of rice paper, a girl lying on the ground is depicted, and if you look closely, it is the woman who fell asleep peacefully in the previous painting, but now she is lying on the ground, motionless, a white cloth covers her, and on her forehead is a faint mark, a plum blossom that seems to be real and fake.
The woman was already dead, with a neat hole in her chest, but there was no message left before she died, and there was no trace of a fight, and the deceased died peacefully, with a pale face and no blood.
Le Zhengyu sorted out the information of the relatives of each deceased, checked it over and over again, and found out the woman who had vaguely seen someone sneaking into his room in the dream from the investigation, and then felt that something was almost something, and the movements of her hands were sluggish, and she had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and quickly found out the women who had died, and it was the person who had reported the case that their yamen knew.
Put the portraits one by one, neatly in front of herself, she thinks that the booklet made by the household department is too cumbersome, and she directly marks each portrait with some important clues before and after the owner's death, so it seems to be very clear.
What shocked Le Zhengyu was that after her comparison, she found a strange phenomenon, or the key factor in this case, she had read those materials back and forth countless times, and even the faces of those women were deeply imprinted in her mind.
"Ziyi, call them here."
Le Zhengyu sorted out the portrait in his hand again, and then called the purple clothes who were guarding outside, and now even Cao Zheng and Zhou Min are in the palace to discuss the case with the Fan family brothers, but seeing that tomorrow is coming, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and they can't send people to guard the door of every house.
The recent case has disturbed the entire Tongguan Town, and even the old man who has beaten the more has stopped doing it, and finally the officials sent the guards in the yamen to be on duty.
When he was in trouble, the purple-clothed man walked quickly with steady steps, Fan Li saw the person at first sight, he immediately stood up and said, "What's wrong?" Came over so late? But what did Master discover? ”
A trace of blush obviously floated across Ziyi's face, nodded, and said to everyone in the room: "The princess asked me to invite you over." ”
Hula a group of people suddenly occupied the whole room, there were not enough stools to stand, no one had time to care about those details, they just wanted to close the case before dawn, but they didn't want to find the bodies of four young girls at dawn.
"Master? But what did you find? ”
Fan Ye has been accompanying Le Zhengyu to handle the case recently, and he has no time to spend more time with his wife and children, on the one hand, he doesn't want to see dead people again, but more because he wants to kill the pervert with his own hands, who made him delay his joy.
"You come to see these, I have divided these portraits into three stacks, these three stacks have their own characteristics, but they are interrelated, what can you see from this?"
Le Zhengyu pointed to the three stacks of pictures in front of him and pointed them to everyone, and the few people he saw were all confused, isn't this the life of the deceased copied by the princess herself?
"Master, isn't this the life of these dead people that you copied?" Fan Zhuo opened his mouth, and his doubts didn't have to be less than just now.
"Yes, that's a discovery, but what?" Le Zhengyu did not deny what Fan Zhuo said, but only encouraged them to continue to look for clues to the case.
At this time, Cao Zhengdao, who was standing next to Le Zhengyu and had been staring at the portrait: "If what Fan Gongzi said is a clue, then I found out...... This dead person is a dead person, but there is more than the dead inside...... This stack is the dead, this stack is the living, this stack! ”
After listening to Cao Zheng's words, Zhou Min suddenly realized, and he immediately said what Cao Zheng thought in his heart.
"This stack is a friend of life and death!"
The words of life and death were not originally used at this moment, but everyone unanimously agreed with Zhou Min's statement, after Zhou Min's words were finished, Le Zhengyu looked at several people with a smile, as if everything was cleared in an instant to see the sunrise.
"But, Master, there is something Fan Li doesn't understand. These women reported the case one after another, why did they kill people in order, but this Cuiqing girl has been safe and sound? ”
Fan Li seemed to ask what everyone thought, Le Zhengyu looked at him and expressed his appreciation, sure enough, his big apprentice is still very easy to use!
"Because, Cuiqing is about to die! Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night. ”
Le Zhengyu's voice was deep, and the candle flame swayed slightly at that moment, shaking a few times, and everyone present suddenly felt a chill down their spines, as if a hand was swimming behind their backs.
"Master...... Don't scare me, I'm too young to understand. ”
Fan Zhuo's back was cold, and he trembled unconsciously, he didn't understand why his master was so sure, Cuiqing had been safe and sound, his spirit was normal, and his meals were fragrant, he was originally more courageous, but now he saw that he was fine, and he slept more than usual.
"Lord Zhou, let people stare at the Cuiqing family today, but what is wrong happens?"
Le Zhengyu did not directly answer his stupid apprentice's words, but turned to Zhou Min, who was sitting on the chair at the beginning, and now he has stood up.
"Hmm...... There is no abnormality, the girl Cuiqing doesn't even go out of the door, almost doesn't go out, staring at the past few days, that is, today, I went to ask for a doctor. But princess, if we openly send someone to keep an eye on the Cuiqing family, the murderer will definitely not throw himself into the net, right? ”
As soon as Zhou Min's words fell, Le Zhengyu said: "Naturally not!" Because Cui Qing will die at his hands soon. ”
"Princess, what does this mean?"
"Because Cuiqing's grandfather has been critically ill recently, Cuiqing has been living with his grandfather, and his family background is still solid, while the other deceased are not accompanied by their families, and they all live alone!"
Le Zhengyu's words seemed to wake up the person in the dream, and the people present suddenly realized, and looked at the orderly three stacks of paper again, and it was even clearer, so it was! No wonder they haven't been able to catch it.
"Then in that case, why don't we protect Miss Cuiqing now, and then follow the clues in the report to find the four women who live alone in this city, so that even if the murderer wants to kill, he will be wiped out!"
Cao Zheng was a little excited to try, and the same keen eye as him was his old boss, Zhou Min, and Fan Zhuo, who was bent on establishing his own yamen.
Naturally, we want to go, and we will leave now, we will find a place to hide, Lord Cao and Lord Zhou will go to Cuiqing's residence with the princess first, Fan Li will take Fan Zhuo to find the next person who was killed, you go to the next one, you go to the last one.
Commanding all this, Le Zhengyu quietly swept everyone present one by one, his eyes were plain, but he revealed an unknown essence.
