Chapter 269: Twists and turns, the thief is finally determined

Qin Zu glanced at Yu Cheng, and said with a smile: "Lord Shangshu, just now I praised me as the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty, why do you doubt the ability of this official now?"

"I ......" Yu Cheng couldn't help but stagnate.

Qin Zulai smiled, not caring about Yu Cheng's reaction,

He looked at Liu Hongji again and calmed down: "This official, since you say that you are a thief, there will naturally be evidence." ”

"Then, Lord Qin will tell me where the evidence of Ben Jiang stealing the jade seal is. Liu Hongji looked at Qin Zulai with cold eyes.

Qin Zulai said lightly: "Commander Liu, dare to put your hand up, let us see your palm?"

Hearing this,

Liu Hongji didn't know what he thought, and his face changed suddenly.

Yu Cheng's eyes flashed at this time, and he said, "Could it be that you have done something on the jade seal?"

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked, and they all hurriedly looked at Qin Zulai.

Qin Zulai smiled lightly and said lightly: "Since I already know that someone is so bold and wants to steal the jade seal, this official ......"

"How is it possible, not to make good use of the information provided by the thief to this official?"

To be honest, Qin Zulai watched shows like Conan in his previous life, and he really didn't understand some things.

For example, Kidd, the thief, steals all kinds of gems.

Before stealing gems, he would leave a warning letter telling them that he was going to steal.

And then those people in the play are stupid and all kinds of ways to set up defenses.

Qin Zulai didn't understand that the level of science and technology was so developed, and many times, he could be sure that Kidd was pretending to be someone else.

It's impossible to run away immediately after stealing something, so why can't you secretly stick a small chip on those gems and then use technology to track them down?

If you're afraid that the chip will be discovered, then get some special smell, let Kidd stick it, and let the military dog find it.

In short, you can know the actions of thieves in advance, and there are really too many ways to target thieves.

Qin Zulai didn't understand Conan's approach, so he wouldn't be like them, he would just stupidly set up a protective line of defense, and there was no other action.

He smiled lightly, looked at Liu Hongji, and said, "This official has actually determined a long time ago that the thief is one of us. ”

"After all, the palace hall is different from other places, not everyone can enter and exit at will. ”

Therefore, the fact that the letter of advance can be delivered to His Majesty's case has already proved that it was the work of the inner ghost. ”

"So the official set up such a trap to catch the thief. ”

He walked over to the table and gently touched the place where the jade seal had been placed.

Then he raised his hand and said, "Look, look at what is on the officer's finger." ”

Liu Hongji glanced at it, and in his eyes, the pupils shrank suddenly.

Han Min also hurriedly looked over, and said, "Oil stains, it's oil stains!!"

He asked, "Qin County Order, have you smeared oil on the jade seal?"

Qin Zulai nodded slightly, and said: "Put other things, it is easy to be discovered, only oil, as long as you don't touch it with your hands, it will not be discovered." ”

"And the oil doesn't dry easily, so it lasts longer. ”

Hearing this, Han Min was convinced.

Why didn't he think of smearing oil on the jade seal in advance?

But as soon as he thought that this was a jade seal, he shrunk his neck.

This is a symbol of the throne, and it is estimated that only Qin Zu dares to do this.

And all he thinks about is whether the jade seal is stolen or not, where will he think about how to steal it through the jade seal, and then go to find the thief!

The difference in thinking leads to a completely different action.

Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji glanced at each other at this time, and his face was full of appreciation.

This is something that no one really thought of.

Yu Cheng glanced at Qin Zulai deeply, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly at this time.

Liu Hongji looked at the confident Qin Zulai and suddenly grinned.

He directly spread his ten fingers and said, "Lord Qin, I'm sorry, you made a mistake in judgment. ”

"In the hands of the general, but there are no oil stains!"

"What??"

Han Min was stunned.

He hurriedly looked over, and sure enough...... Liu Hongji's hands are very clean, where is there a trace of oil stains?

His friend looked at Qin Zulai, "Qin County Order, this ......"

Everyone else was stunned, could it be...... Qin Zu came to him, but he made a mistake in judgment?

However, Qin Zulai's expression did not change at all.

It was as if he had expected it.

He said: "Since you can hide so deeply, you are naturally a cautious person, so you may wonder if this official will do anything to the jade seal." ”

"After all, you put the advance notice in advance, there will be such a danger. ”

"You're not stupid, you'll be careful. ”

Liu Hongji frowned slightly.

Yu Cheng also looked at Qin Zulai, his gaze uncertain.

Qin Zu has come to handle so many cases, and he has seen too many cunning criminals, and if he treats the ancients as fools, then he will become a real fool.

These people are all more shrewd than the other.

He chuckled and continued: "But as long as you steal the jade seal, you can't not touch the jade seal, and as long as you touch it, you will definitely leave a clue." ”

"I want to ......"

He glanced at Liu Hongji and said, "There are no oil stains on your clothes, so maybe you covered the jade seal with a handkerchief or something, so that your hands will have no oil stains." ”

"There are no grease stains on your clothes. ”

"But the time we can give you is too short, and in such a short time, you will at most hide the jade seal, and you will not have time to dispose of the handkerchief. ”

"So ......"

The corners of Qin Zulai's mouth rose slightly, and he said lightly: "The handkerchief stained with oil." It's in your cuff, or in your arms. ”

"Commander Liu, do you dare to let us search for it?"

The voice fell.

After brushing it, Liu Hongji's face at this time completely changed.

When Qin Zulai said this, Liu Hongji's face was finally no longer smiling, his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth bent downward, and his face was very bad.

As soon as everyone saw Liu Hongji's expression at this time, they had a guess in their hearts.

They were not only shocked by the confrontation between Qin Zulai and Liu Hongji, but also felt unbelievable that Liu Hongji was the thief.

Liu Hongji, who is he?

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, one of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion!

He is also one of the most trusted people under Li Second!!

How could he do such an evil deed?

Li Er looked at Liu Hongji and said, "Whoosh!"

Those guards couldn't help but look at Liu Hongji, not knowing whether to search or not.

"Here we come. ”

At this time, several shadow guards suddenly appeared and walked towards Liu Hongji.

Liu Hongji looked at these shadow guards who were covered in the smell of blood, his face changed uncertainly, and finally sighed.

He said, "No need to search. ”

With that, he took out a handkerchief from his cuff.

The handkerchief was unfolded, and sure enough, a very obvious oil stain was on it.

"You really did it!!"

"Lord Qin, he really didn't guess wrong!!"

"This ......"

When everyone saw this scene, even if they already had a guess in their hearts, they couldn't help but be frightened.

It turned out to be him!

It turned out to be really Liu Hongji's doing!

Li Er's face was also extremely cold at this time, and he said coldly, "Why? Why do you do this?"

"Have I ever treated you badly?"

Li Er couldn't understand.

Liu Hongji didn't pay attention to Li Er, as if Li Er was a talking wood in his eyes.

He looked at Qin Zulai and said, "The smartest person in Datang, Datang Qingtian, really lives up to his reputation. ”

"Originally, we have planted a lot of people in your hands, but I think they are stupid, they are not careful enough to fall into your hands. ”

"But I didn't expect that today, I would also be planted in your hands. ”

Qin Zulai looked at him calmly and said, "Sure enough, are you also a person from the dawn?"

"What?"

"Lord Qin, you said he was the one who broke the dawn?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was startled and couldn't help but speak.

He stared at Liu Hongji with wide eyes and asked, "Really, are you really the one who broke the dawn?"

Liu Hongji grinned, "Lao Tzu Xing will not change his name, he will not change his surname, and the master will be one of the five gods of dawn!"

Li Er's brows furrowed, and he asked, "You are not Liu Hongji, you are disguised him?"

Liu Hongji smiled and shook his head, "I don't have that much ability, how can the disguise technique be so powerful, can I hide it from so many people." ”

"Then you are ......" Li Er was puzzled.

Qin Zulai said lightly at this time, "It's very similar to Liu Hongji's original appearance, right?"

"Although this probability is not large, but in this world, there are still two people who are not related by blood, and they look exactly the same. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hongji's eyes flashed and he looked at Qin Zulai.

Qin Zulai continued: "Actually, yesterday, the official already suspected you, and your biggest flaw was to put the notice letter in the Daming Palace!"

"Even if you throw it into the palace and are picked up by the eunuchs and palace maids, the official will not suspect you so quickly. ”

"But Daming Palace, this is not an ordinary place, the shadow guards are secretly protecting, and the guards are staring at it for twelve hours. ”

"I don't believe that anyone has that ability to sneak into the main hall without knowing it. ”

"Therefore, only the people who protect the Daming Palace can have the opportunity to put down the warning letter, and ordinary guards can't do it, after all, they can't leave their position casually. ”

Therefore...... Only you, the Commander, or any other high-ranking person, can do this without arousing any suspicion. ”

Liu Hongji sighed and nodded, it turned out that he had done too much here.

"The official was suspicious of you, so after I went back yesterday, I investigated your affairs and found out that ......"

"Ten years ago, when Your Majesty was not on the throne, you were seriously wounded in a great war, and although you saved a life, your temperament changed a lot, and even some of your memories were blurred. ”

"The doctor said that you were caused by a severe head injury, but the official wanted to ......"

He looked at Liu Hongji and said, "At that moment, the real Liu Hongji is already dead, right?"

"And you are Li Dai Taozhuang, replacing the real Liu Hongji, because you are afraid of being discovered by others, so you use such an excuse, so that you can completely become Liu Hongji, and no one will doubt you. ”

The voice fell.

When Eldest Sun Wuji and the others heard Qin Zulai's words, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.

They stared at Liu Hongji with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

It's true?

The real Liu Hongji, their friend, actually died ten years ago?

This fake Liu Hongji has been by their side like this, and he has been calling them brothers and sisters for a year??

Is this true??

Li Er's face also changed slightly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't believe it.

But although Qin Zulai said that he was speculating, he looked at Liu Hongji in front of him with a confident face.

Liu Hongji let out a long breath of turbid breath and laughed, "Qin Zulai is worthy of being Qin Zulai, and there is no vanity under the fame." ”

"It's only been a day, and I've already made my old bottom clear, and I'm really convinced by you now, it's really amazing. ”

He gave a thumbs up and said from the bottom of his heart: "Qin Zulai, you are really powerful, people like you should join me to break the dawn." ”

"Then, follow our master, and only under his master will you be able to use your true talents!"

"So, join us!"

At this moment, in the face of a desperate situation, Liu Hongji did not have any fear.

turned out to be the same as Hou Junji and others before, and began to invite Qin Zu to join.

Qin Zulai shook his head and said, "After changing your name and surname for ten years, you are about to forget who you really are, right?"

Liu Hongji laughed, laughing but not speaking.

Ten years of pretending to be Liu Hongji, is he really just pretending?

Perhaps, he was about to forget his original name.

Liu Hongji didn't bother with this, he looked at Qin Zulai and said, "So smart Lord Qin, can you guess where Ben will hide the jade seal?"

"You've also seen this hall, there's no place to hide things at all, so can you find the jade seal?"

The others were also stunned, right, what about the jade seal?

Although it is said that it is already known who stole it, but this hall is very empty, and there is no cabinet or anything, so where is the jade seal hidden?

Everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Zulai.

If anyone knows, it must be Qin Zu here!

And at this moment, Qin Zu glanced at the confident Liu Hongji, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He looked at Shang Shu Yucheng of the Criminal Department and asked, "Lord Shang Shu, but guessed where the jade seal was hidden by him?"

Yu Cheng looked at Qin Zulai's expression at this time, and it was no longer the same as before.

There was shock, surprise, vigilance, but also appreciation.

He smiled, and his smile grew gentle.

He shook his head and said, "This official can't compare to Lord Qin's intelligence, so it seems that you can only rely on yourself, Lord Qin." ”

Qin Zulai smiled and said, "I thought you would break your wrist as a strong man." ”

Yu Cheng smiled, "This official, I don't understand what Lord Qin means. ”

Qin Zulai didn't say much, he looked at Liu Hongji again,

said: "Do you remember that the official just knocked on the table, the floor, and the wall?"

"When the candle went out, you were all panicking, but the official closed his eyes and listened with his ears......"

"Maybe you don't know, the ears of this officer are very smart. ”
