I can hear that.

Qin Zulai thought about it and asked, "Lord Eldest Sun, it's not too early when the case happened, it stands to reason that he will go back to rest next time, what is he still doing in the Yamen?"

"It is said that ...... It is said that there is official business that has not been completed, and I have to go to the dossier hall to find some dossier to check the affairs. ”

"So at the time of the crime, how many people were still in the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials?"

Qin Zulai almost didn't pause, and asked the main points directly.

The eldest grandson Chong and Qin Zulai shared the same way, listening to Qin Zulai's inquiry, he couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart.

Will a person handle cases, level, and how?

You can hear it from his question.

After a short conversation, Qin Zulai did not say a word about nonsense, and every sentence was an extremely important issue to the case.

And with these problems, Qin Zu didn't have to continue to waste time when he came to the scene.

He said: "Lord Qin, at the time of the incident, in addition to the guards, only three officials were still in the yamen. ”

"Two are the officials and the other is the officials. ”

"Among them, the servant of the ministry is called Zheng Lin, who is of the same clan as Zheng Ping. ”

"At the time of the crime, he was looking for the file in the dossier hall, but he should be able to rule it out. ”

"Why?" Qin Zulai asked.

The eldest grandson rushed back and said, "Because the deceased fell facing the Sect Hall, and the arrow was pierced right in his back, it is obvious that someone put a cold arrow behind the back of the deceased. ”

"But Zheng Lin was in the Dossier Hall at the time, so it was absolutely impossible to shoot an arrow in the back, so naturally it could be ruled out. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zulai squinted his eyes, he didn't respond, he hadn't gone over to check in person, he wouldn't easily rule out anyone, nor would he easily suspect anyone.

"And what about the eldest grandson, and the other two outsiders?" he asked again.

The eldest grandson rushed back: "One of the wailang is called Zhou Chengli, and the other is called Zhao Qing. ”

"At the time of the incident, Zhou Jianli was handling official business in the office room, and Zhao Qing was working in the Sifeng Division, and neither of them was together. ”

"In the same way, no one was actually there at the time of the crime. ”

Qin Zulai exhaled a breath of turbid air slightly.

This case is really interesting!

At the time of the incident, these three people were present.

So the murderer must be within these three people!!

One of them was in the Hall of the Sect, and it was impossible to commit a murder according to the modus operandi.

The other two people work in their respective office rooms.

But there was no one who could prove that they were really in the office at the time.

Therefore, it is very likely that those two people committed the crime, but because there are no witnesses, they can't deduce who it is.

"By the way, Lord Eldest Sun, what about the physical evidence?"

Qin Zulai asked again: "Since the dead were killed by arrows, have you searched for bows and arrows or crossbow arrows near the three of them?"

Eldest Sun Chong nodded and replied, "Lord Qin, this search has been carried out, and the result is ........."

He looked at Qin Zulai and said, "As a result, there are small crossbow arrows near the three of them. ”

"Both?"

The eldest grandson nodded and replied: "Yes, in the office room of Zhou Jianli and Zhao Qing, in a very hidden place under the table, there are crossbow arrows from Tibetan friends. ”

"In a corner of the Dossier Hall, there are also crossbow arrows hidden!"

"Because they are not far from the place where the dead are located, it is possible for anyone to kill someone and then quickly hide the crossbow arrows. ”

Then he pretended to hear the screams and rushed over, and he would not delay too long. ”

"At the end of the incident, we asked the three men, and they all said that they didn't know where the crossbow bolt came from and had never seen it. ”

The voice fell.

When Qin Zulai heard Eldest Sun Chong's words, he suddenly laughed slowly.

This case is really getting more and more interesting.

This murderer, this is made up of his mind to fish in troubled waters.

But............

The corners of Qin Zulai's mouth rose slightly, he felt that he Qin already knew who the murderer was.

This person is really smart but was mistaken by cleverness!

He was the one who killed him.

And what about motivation?

It's really weird.

After arriving at the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, the time had already come to evening.

As the sun sets, the red sunlight shines in, as if a blood-colored curtain has been laid over the entire earth.

The head of the ministry is the chief grandson of the ministry, but the eldest grandson Wuji has not been in Chang'an these days, so it is Qin Zulai and others who are received by Zheng Lin, the servant of the ministry.

"Lord Qin, you're here!!"

As soon as Zheng Lin saw Qin Zu coming, he said, "Lord Qin, you must investigate the murderer of my brother, and my Zheng family will definitely be grateful." ”

Qin Zu glanced at Zheng Lin, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, this palace will do its best to find out the murderer, and will never let the real murderer go unpunished." ”

"Then thank you, Lord Qin. ”

Qin Zulai smiled slightly, and replied: "This is not necessary, you can take the official to the scene of the crime first." ”

Then, the group suddenly came to the door of the Dossier Hall.

At this time, Zheng Ping's body was being put aside.

Changsun Chong pointed to the white humanoid pattern painted on the ground,

said: "Lord Qin, this is the situation when Zheng Ping died at that time, he was lying here with an arrow stuck in his back. ”

Qin Zulai took a closer look at the direction in which the corpse fell, and sure enough, it was facing the door of the Dossier Hall that fell.

It should have been after the door opened, when I was about to enter the dossier shop, I was suddenly released with a cold arrow.

Coming to Zheng Ping's corpse, Qin Zulai began to carefully examine the corpse.

Zheng Ping was lying on the stretcher, and there were arrows behind him, and the arrows were directly stabbed in the back of his heart, and the direction was diagonally upward.

"Huh??"

After Qin Zulai saw the wound of the arrow, his eyes moved slightly.

He walked around to the other side and took another closer look at the wound, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

"I see. ”

"But the murderer, how did he make Zheng Ping obedient?"

Qin Zulai narrowed his eyes, and suddenly found that Zheng Ping's hand was being held.

When a person dies, his hands become stiff.

Unless it is hard broken, it will be set directly.

So Zheng Ping's hand was holding, but what was he holding in his palm at that time?

He asked, "When Zheng Ping died, did he hold anything in his palm?"

Hearing this,

Eldest Sun Chong was a little surprised, and replied: "Lord Qin, this is what Xia Guan is about to tell you, Lord Qin, you know this?"

Zheng Lin and the others on the side were also surprised.

Qin Zu came, he obviously came here for the first time, how could he seem to know everything.

Qin Zulai replied calmly: "Very simple reasoning, let's talk about it directly, what is he holding in his hand?"

The eldest grandson Chongming ordered someone to bring over a tray, and there was a jade pendant on the tray.

subsequently

He said, "It's not something special, it's just this jade pendant." ”

"Jade pendant??"

Qin Zulai walked over, grabbed this jade pendant with a white cloth and took a look, and found that it was a jade pendant of excellent color.

At first glance, it is expensive.

And on the jade pendant, there is also an ancient seal "Zheng" character written.

He thought for a while, looked at Zheng Lin, and said, "This is your Zheng family's identity jade pendant?"

At this moment, Zheng Lin didn't expect Qin Zulai to deduce it so quickly, and he was a little surprised.

Nodding and saying, "Lord Qin, yes, this is indeed my Zheng family's identity jade pendant." ”

Changsun Chong said: "It's a pity, the official thought that the things that Zheng Ping held in his hands would be a very important clue, and he could directly identify the murderer." ”

"But they didn't expect that this was just their own identity jade pendant, which was useless. ”

"Nothing to do??"

Qin Zulai sneered in his heart, for the eldest grandson Chong, this was a useless thing.

But for him Qin, this is the evidence that all the truth is revealed!!

He went back with the opening up, didn't say anything more, and walked directly into the inside of the Dossier Hall.

There are two floors in total, which store all kinds of files of the Ministry of Officials, and it is a relatively confidential place for the Ministry of Officials.

Qin Zu looked at this dazzling dossier and asked seriously, "Master Zheng, where did you read the dossier when you were here last night?"

Zheng Lin said: "It was at the table on the second floor that the official was looking for some officials' investigation files and looking for some things. ”

Qin Zulai nodded and went up to the second floor.

Coming to the place where Zheng Lin was sitting last night, Changsun Chong pointed to the nearby corner of the wall at this time and said, "Lord Qin, that's where we found the crossbow arrows. ”

The voice fell.

Qin Zulai walked over and glanced at the crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows are small and easy to carry, as long as they are aimed accurately, they don't need too high a technical level, they can kill people on the spot.

At this moment, the wind blew in from outside, and the windows cracked.

Qin Zulai walked to the window, looked down, and saw that this window was just above the door downstairs.

The view here is very good, and as far as the eye can see, half of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is close in front of you.

He smiled, then closed the window.

"Can you ask Master Zheng, which file did you see last night?" Qin Zulai asked.

Zheng Lin hesitated a little and said, "Lord Qin, with all due respect, is this still a case?"

"After all, this is the work of the ministry, and it is not convenient to disclose. ”

"Maybe it's related, maybe it's not. ”

Qin Zulai chuckled lightly and said: "Lord Zheng, don't worry, our Dali Temple handles the case, and the confidentiality ability is still good, otherwise, it would not be so fair for so many years, and the reputation of Dali Temple is still so fair." ”

Then

Eldest Sun Chong also nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zheng, we are just doing business, and we have no intention of knowing the secrets of your officials." ”

Zheng Lin thought for a while, then nodded, he pointed to a dossier on the bookshelf in front of him,

said: "Lord Qin, it is the dossier marked with A13. ”

"Lu Thirteen, go and get it. Qin Zu said.

Lu 13 nodded, walked over, and found the file marked A13.

Just about to pick it up, suddenly Qin Zulai suddenly rushed over and grabbed Lu Shisan's arm, the force was so great that Lu Shisan's couldn't move.

Lu Shisan's heart couldn't help but be slightly surprised, how could Qin Zulai's strength ...... How can it be so big??

Isn't he just a civil servant?

How can it be...... Will it be more powerful than me, a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is now more of a shadow guard??

At this moment, Lu Shisan was completely confused.

Suddenly...... I can't see through it, Qin Zu is here.

He put away his complicated emotions, looked at Qin Zulai blankly, and asked, "My lord, who are you?"

Qin Zulai frowned, his face was a little ugly, and said, "I'll come." ”

Lu 13 didn't know why, but he still obediently retreated to the back.

Subsequently, Qin Zulai did not bring it on the spot, but found a white cloth, carefully took down the file with A13 written on it, and put it on the table.

Then he used a white cloth to take out a very small needle from the gap in the dossier.

This thin needle is blackened all over, and there is a faint pungent smell.

"My lord, this is!!"

When Lu Shisan saw the fine needle, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Qin Zulai frowned and said: "The poison needle, the poison on it is very strong, once it is punctured with blood, it can seal the throat in an instant, and the immortals can't be saved when they come." ”

At this moment,

Qin Zulai, he didn't expect that he had just obtained the poison mastery skill, and now he actually used it.

If it weren't for his ability to detect poison and his ability to detect poison has been comprehensively improved, he might not have been able to discover this very deep hidden poisonous needle.

And this poisonous needle is very cleverly placed.

It happens to be on the finger, once someone doesn't pay attention to get the file, like Lu Shisan, he will definitely prick his finger.

At that time, Lu Thirteen, he will definitely die!!

When Lu Shisan heard Qin Zulai's words, his face suddenly changed.

Zheng Lin and Changsun Chong and others also changed their complexions.

Lu Shisan looked at Zheng Lin fiercely, and Zheng Lin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Qin, I'm ...... I don't know what's going on!"

"Last night, when I put it back, there weren't any poison needles. ”

Qin Zulai ignored Zheng Lin, put his hand on the file, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

In his heart, he said: "Trace!"

Beginner Time Tracing Skill!!

Trace any changes in non-living forms within 12 hours!

Soon, time began to turn back, and in Qin Zulai's mind, a picture of a book appeared.

Eight hours ago, the dossier, which had not changed all along, suddenly changed somewhat.

A poisonous needle was placed in it at that time.

From the time the poison needle was placed to the present, it was exactly eight hours.

In other words, it was placed in it before the time of the crime.

Continuing to go back, not long before the poison needle was placed, a page of the dossier had been torn off.

Before, nothing had changed.

Qin Zulai hurriedly opened the book and looked for the page that had been torn off.

Sure enough, there was a page missing.

Qin Zu looked at Zheng Lin and said, "Lord Zheng, what about the content of the missing page?"

"What?" Zheng Lin looked puzzled and said again, "Lord Qin, what kind of paper is missing?"

hurriedly walked over to take a look, and then his face changed, "This...... How could this be one page less? When I read it at the time, it was obviously not missing. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zulai took a deep look at Zheng Lin, and suddenly took a deep breath,

said: "Zheng Lin, you really know how to act!"
