"All dead?"

"Back to Your Highness, only one of the seven Qingshan Confucian students who entered Beijing is still alive."

"Who?"

"Qingzhou Talented Girl - Eliza."

Li Mengsheng poured out a breath of turbidity, what he didn't want to see was beautiful things withering, but fortunately there weren't.

However, what made him feel strange was that he reminded him a little yesterday, suggesting that Zhu Qianzhi might have a problem.

It was a coincidence that I received the news of their deaths today.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did Elder Shi confirm the identity of the deceased?"

"Judgment based on clothing left at the scene, tokens, and Eliza's identification. The six deceased were none other than the six members of Castle Peak Academy. ”

"You mean you can't see the face of the deceased?" He rubbed his chin, and that's interesting.

Shi Chang was silent for a moment and nodded. Instead of continuing the topic, he asked:

"I heard that Zhu Qianzhi among the dead had a bit of a holiday with His Royal Highness?"

Even if Shi Chang was wearing a mask, Li Mengsheng could still feel the other party's sharp gaze at this moment.

There are only a few methods of adjudication: confessions, hearings, and torture.

The five listening are: verbal listening, color listening, qi listening, ear hearing, and visual hearing.

It is equivalent to judging mental activity by observing the person's micro-expressions.

"Yes, he alluded to me in public that I was buying poetry and fame."

Shi Chang's eyes seemed to have a flash of essence, and he even asked: "He slandered His Highness plainly, and His Highness just forgot it?" ”

"Don't you know that a few days ago, someone in Jinghu wrote a poem and made a vision to shock the Confucian, and got a master's order?"

Li Mengsheng's tone was light, without the slightest fluster.

He didn't give the other party time to answer, and then said, "That's right, that person is me!" Isn't it enough to fight back in the face?

Moreover, the other party also apologized to me afterwards, how could the eldest husband not have a stomach, this matter has already been revealed. ”

The son's answer is consistent with Eliza's confession.

Shi Chang nodded and asked again: "On the day of the crime, Qingshan Confucian visited Shizi?" ”

"That's right, they want me to come forward and dissuade the march! But I didn't say yes...."

Immediately after that, Shi Chang asked some trivial questions, repeatedly corroborating the question that Li Mengsheng had just answered.

After some questions and answers, this case has nothing to do with Li Mengsheng.

Shi Chang stood up and was about to leave, he hugged his fists and said: "It's also official business below, Your Highness is not strange!" ”

"Elder Shi is also for the safety of the people, how dare I blame him.

But I have a reluctant request, can you borrow the dossier to take a look?

Eliza and I are also familiar with each other, and I also want to find the murderer and share her worries. ”

Shi Chang stared at him quietly for a long time, and Li Mengsheng met his eyes without dodging.

Shi Chang suddenly admired: "The prince is noble, but this case is not allowed to be spread, and I dare not go beyond the rules to satisfy His Royal Highness." ”

Li Mengsheng was only curious, and his intuition told him that Zhu Qianzhi's death was not so simple.

It's not surprising that you didn't get the dossier, so don't worry about it.

"When the real life is like a mustard, even if you enter the Confucian life, you will die quietly." He felt inexplicably sad, perhaps the sorrow of the weak.

…………

Just as White Tiger Wei was anxiously looking for clues, the news of Qingshan's murder spread far and wide, instantly detonating the capital.

Details of the murder scene were revealed; Split the corpses, the bones, the iron cones to reassemble the corpses, and burn them in the fire....

A string of chilling words just listening to it constantly stimulates the psychological defense of the people in the capital.

The identity of the deceased was also exposed, and the rabbit and fox who were studying in other places were sad, and everyone was in danger.

In particular, the biggest suspect is the magnate of the capital, the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, which pushed the grief and indignation of the people to a climax.

The sound of the crusade drowned out wave after wave.

Even today's saints are angry and bluntly said: We will pay close attention to this case, and no matter who obstructs the handling of the case, we will not tolerate it!

He also ordered the commander of the White Tiger Guard to personally take charge of the case, and the murderer must be arrested within three days, and the world must be restored!

Now that there are seven days left before the deadline of the "World Poetry Society", its perfect holding not only represents the majesty of the emperor, but also the perfect time to restore the Confucian statue.

Now a murder may make all this go down the drain.

After this case, the number of people implicated in the punishment may reach a terrifying number.

Inside the yamen of the pacification division, a roar came out.

"A group of rice buckets, with two eggs, but no eggs, will not block the news?"

The person on the steps was wearing a fine white armor, embroidered with a gold-edged white tiger head in front of the armor, with teeth and claws, which was very terrifying.

Her long hair was tied up with red ropes, and the ends of her hair fluttered wantonly in the wind. There was a light frost on the face, and it was chilling down the spine in the hot sun.

This woman is Shangguan Shu'e, one of the four commanders of the Zhenfu Division, who has the title of "True White Tiger", and her official name is White Tiger.

She also has another identity, the daughter of the prime minister.

Many white tiger guards, who were avoided by ordinary people like ghosts and gods, also trembled like cats at this moment, and were silent.

"Boss, the one who spreads the information about the murder must be the real murderer. I can't stop it. ”

After hearing this, the white tiger was directly angry, and his voice increased several times.

"The old lady will not know? The murderer is a naked provocation, that's why he said that you are a rice bucket.

The old lady hasn't found the Spring Gu Master yet, and now she has to take over this case again!

In any case, the case must be solved within three days, otherwise the old lady will be fucked out. ”

"Boss, Doctor Jia has already analyzed it last night, and the murderer is likely to be an acquaintance of the deceased, or a monk of the super sixth grade!"

Shi Chang, who took over the case for the first time last night, said head-on: "Although the scope has been narrowed, three days is not enough time." ”

"Didn't you hear the noise outside to hand over the murderer? Three days is the maximum time limit that God has given us to fight for. ”

Of course, she understood how difficult it was to solve cases involving monks, and nine times out of ten the cases in the library were unsolved.

Embarking on the path of cultivation, life and death have their own destiny, how can someone escort you and collect your body at most.

But this case is different, it has aroused public indignation, and if the murderer is not handed over, the matter will not pass.

Especially today, the saints have paid attention to this case, and even named her as the person in charge, which shows how big the impact of this case is.

"So, the murderer must be found within three days! Elder Resh is also an older generation, so you should know what it means! ”

Chief Resh understood that everyone present knew that the Holy One did not want the real murderer, and the people who were shouting outside did not care so much about the truth.

After a few breaths of silence, Shangguan Shu'e raised her hand and beckoned: "Bring the prisoner up, and the old lady will interrogate him personally!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Botao's identity is not small, and his father is also constantly pressuring.

Only when the White Tiger Boss comes out in person can he have full confidence.

Then she said: "Summoning all the people related to the deceased, even if there is even the slightest connection, find the old lady." ”

"Yes!"

......

Li Mengsheng didn't expect to find his White Tiger Guard in the morning, and come again in the afternoon.

The difference is that nowadays everyone is violent, fierce and vicious, and if they don't agree with each other, they will add men to men.

In just a few hours, the case became known to women and children.

The Dog Emperor was in a hurry, and only gave three days to solve the case, no wonder the White Tiger Guard was so fierce.

"First there was a quota parade, and then there was a murder storm. Fanning the flames, fueling the flames, similar techniques. ”

At this time, outside the yamen of the Zhenfu Division, which is usually not seen, there are already crowds.

They are all people waiting for the verdict, and they are all indignant.

If it weren't for the Holy Lord's opening and the three-day deadline to solve the case, this group of people would have roamed the streets and alleys to denounce the murderer and provoke an even bigger demonstration.

When Li Mengsheng stepped into the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, he felt a flood of anger, which was timid.

"Talking about the tiger's color change", I don't deceive me.

In addition to the white tiger guards standing like statues on both sides of the hall, there are several figures.

There was a woman with tied hair sitting in the high hall, and he felt the cold gaze when he entered the hall, as if he wanted to see through him!

Li Mengsheng really wants to complain, are you really a white tiger?

But the other party's momentum was not weaker than that of the six elders, so he stood aside obediently and consciously, waiting for interrogation.

And the other party's gaze finally took off from him, and fell on the man in the center who was wearing shackles, prison clothes, and a mantle.

Eliza was right next to him, with faint tears on her face.

At this moment, I am stubbornly holding back tears and standing aside without saying a word, and I feel pity.

After leaving the Zhenbei Wangfu yesterday, Qingshan Confucian and his party were very disappointed.

So Zhu Qianzhi proposed to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, but Eliza did not go with her because she was thinking about what the prince said at the end.

I didn't expect this parting to be the difference between life and death.

Syllable!

The stunned wood slapped hard, and the piercing voice dragged back everyone's wandering thoughts.

"Zhu Botao, you are guilty!"

"Not guilty under it!"

"Well, why are you wandering around after curfew?"

"I was disappointed at the tea party, so I wanted to go home."

"Then the curfew started when you left the Sect Division, it was one watch and three o'clock, why was the second watch and four o'clock still at the scene of the murder! What the hell did you do in the middle of the hour! ”

"Under ... I drank too much alcohol at the time and got drunk. ”

"You said you were drunk, so how could you make the decision to avoid the patrol and take the trail!"

Zhu Botao was silent for a few breaths, and said stubbornly: "I was still a little conscious at that time, and after entering the alley, I was drowsy and drunk. ”

His rhetoric was unconvincing, but it was at the time.

Shangguan Shu'e's face was grim, and she continued to ask: "Did you deliberately hide the firewood knife in the ditch outside the murder scene?" ”

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Zhu Botao paralyzed to the ground, and he looked aside.

Standing there was his father, which is why he had not been tortured until now.

Syllable!

"No one can help you!"

Zhu Botao replied tremblingly: ".... Be. ”

"Then you still don't plead guilty!"

Shangguan Shu'e said sharply, Zhu Botao was so frightened that he trembled all over, and his soul was unbearable.

"I woke up to find the corpse hanging on the wall, so frightened that the six gods had no master and didn't know when to hold the firewood knife, my lord, wronged!

That's why I found it when I rushed out of the alley, and I threw it into the ditch because I was too scared. ”

He is a noble son, how has he ever seen such a scene.

From last night to now, his spirit is broken!

The several questions that Shangguan Shu'e forced to ask were all proof that he was the murderer.

And he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, and his psychological defense line completely collapsed.

Syllable!

The stunned wood seemed to be patting him in the heart, and his body twitched with the sound.

"The ironclad evidence is in front of me, and I still don't admit guilt. Come on, torture! ”

Two or three sturdy white tiger guards stepped forward to hold Zhu Botao, and they were about to greet him with a big stick.

"Lord Shangguan, I have something to say!"

Congratulations knows that if he doesn't stand up again, his son will be tortured.

Shangguan Shu'e's face was not good-looking, and it was expected that congratulations would come out to hinder her.

Seeing that the person on the high platform nodded, one of the congratulations pointed out sharply:

"My lord, there are many suspicious points in this case. First of all, the dog has no motive to kill;

Again, he doesn't have the strength to kill;

In the end, the firewood knife, fire phosphorus, and iron cone dog at the scene of the murder could never be carried with him.

Even if he hid in advance, how could he know the whereabouts of the deceased! ”

If Zhu Botao was an ordinary citizen, the case might be closed. As long as there's a little bit of evidence that you did it, that's what you did.

But he wasn't, and his father would catch the irrationality and overturn his suspicions.

"I'm afraid the dog was framed, I hope the adults will see it."

Shangguan Shu'e kneaded the bridge of her nose, how could she not know the loopholes, but what she needed now was the truth?

It's a murderer!

The anger of the people is accumulating, and there will have to be a scapegoat.

Perhaps this is the real reason why the Holy Lord asked her to take over the case - prompting the compromise.

"Yes or no, we will know after the torture." Shangguan Shu'e ordered ruthlessly.

Congratulations also know this. But how could he know that his son was innocent and push him into the abyss.

The real murderer is the guy who is spreading the news of the murder everywhere, causing public outrage.

"My lord, how is this different from a trick of torture?"

The momentum of the high-ranking officials of the third grade of congratulations was fully opened, and they suppressed the white tiger guard holding the big stick.

"Bold! There is a saying in the Holy Word, those who hinder the handling of the case will not be tolerated. Don't make a mistake about yourself! ”
