Chapter 224: Indiscriminate Explosion Injury?
After Chang Wang Xiao Jingxuan calmed down, he seriously recalled the details of what happened when he offered incense.
"No, to be precise, I didn't notice what was under the incense ash, everyone who still cares about the ash when they put on the incense, they all plug it in and leave."
King Chang blinked his eyes and looked at Huo Yijun with a confused expression.
After the two confronted each other like this for a moment, Huo Yijun turned his head and continued to check the furnace ding.
Gonggong Fu also saluted King Chang on the side, and they were also quietly watching the people who were exploring the furnace ding.
King Chang was very worried: "Father-in-law Fu, do you think my brother can handle this well?" Why did my father arrange for Sheng Lin to investigate, what if he couldn't find out the truth... Isn't that provoking the fire? ”
"Lord Wang doesn't need to worry, Lord Xiao Huo has already solved several big cases with Jiang Sizheng, and the officials have all been promoted to a level, I think there is a way, we just need to cooperate with Lord Xiao Huo."
Here, Huo Yijun investigated the traces left at the scene of the crime and came to some conclusions.
"Sheng Lin, do you have any ideas? What are the conclusions of the investigation? King Chang waited very anxiously.
Huo Yijun got up and asked King Chang and Gonggong Fu to walk into the hall to talk.
"I'm definitely looking into some issues right now."
King Chang sat down, and Duke Fu served beside him.
Huo Yijun stood in front of them and said confidently: "I have found three points, which can be used as a breakthrough point to solve this case." ”
"You say."
The two of them were full of anticipation.
Huo Yijun began to talk about the conclusion of her investigation: "The first point is that the gunpowder in the furnace is newly buried, and the lead is only half a meter. ”
Father-in-law Fu responded: "Yes." ”
"The second point, the coronation ceremony in previous years, as far as I know, the royal family is to sacrifice the sky and burn incense before the ceremony, I don't know why this year's sacrifice to the sky and the burning of incense are separated, is this a new etiquette formulated by the Ministry of Rites? Will this crowning method be continued in the future? ”
At this point, King Chang stretched out his hand and signaled: "I know this." ”
Huo Yijun looked at King Chang and asked curiously, "Then please tell the prince about it." ”
"The coronation ceremony has not changed, but the Lord of Qin Tianjian said that my coronation this year will encounter a water reversal, if you want to resolve it, you can only separate the sacrifice to the sky and the burning of incense, and you must choose the largest and most powerful and prestigious elder in the royal family to crown me."
"He said that only in this way can the king's future life be smooth."
Huo Yijun nodded and sighed: "No wonder the emperor did not crown you, but asked His Royal Highness King An to crown, in the past, the crown of the prince was performed by the emperor himself." ”
"That's not what my mother asked." King Chang spread his hands, a little helpless.
Huo Guifei was bent on letting her son become the crown prince, and even if the emperor already had a candidate, she did not give up hope at all.
Whatever is beneficial to King Chang, she will definitely believe it all.
Huo Yijun began to pace, saying as he walked: "The third point is the question of who the murderer wants to bomb. ”
"The lead of the gunpowder is placed very short, which means that it is easy to ignite, and at that time, I saw that the order of burning incense was Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King An, and King Chang."
"I must want to blow up this king! It is true that it exploded when the king burned incense in front of him. ”
Huo Yijun shook his head and turned to look at King Chang: "If you deliberately want to blow you up, then there are too many opportunities for the murderer to attack. ”
"Why do you want to save it for when you go to offer incense, when it's easiest to be discovered?"
King Chang's eyes widened, completely unsure of how to answer.
Gonggong Fu listened to it at this time, and then deduced: "So what Lord Xiao Huo means is that the murderer's target is not King Chang, nor is it intended to disrupt the coronation ceremony." ”
"Yes."
Huo Yijun firmly analyzed: "Just now I went to check the incense ash where the fuse was buried, it was not even a finger deep, and it could be found by inserting a little incense pillar into it, and the purpose of burying it so shallow was to ignite the fire, so what the murderer wanted was indiscriminate injuries." ”
"In other words, he didn't determine the target to bomb, but this thing had to be done, and whoever was killed was a profit for him."
"Then based on the length of this lead and the speed of burning, it can be determined that the murderer wanted to blow up only five people."
King Chang took a look at what Huo Yijun said.
Gonggong Fu recalled the previous order of burning incense: "Your Majesty, the queen, the concubine is the first, His Royal Highness King An, His Royal Highness King Chang, followed by the royal family, the royal relatives and relatives......"
Huo Yijun walked up to King Chang: "Lord Wang, please contact the adult in charge of the coronation ceremony in the Ministry of Rites, and ask about the order of incense, I want to determine who the five people the murderer wants to kill." ”
"Okay."
When the case was analyzed, Huo Yijun pursed her lips and looked at King Chang to stop talking.
She wanted to ask Jiang Xie about his injury, but she didn't know what reason to ask.
King Chang sighed: "It's really bad, if Jiang Si is here, there is no need for our brothers to solve the case here, it is really a delay in the reunion, and I don't have the heart to eat, drink and have fun." ”
Huo Yijun burst out laughing.
"Sheng Lin, don't laugh, our brothers haven't seen each other for so long, I originally planned to keep you in the palace to play for a few days after the coronation ceremony, and by the way, think about what gifts to give you when you are crowned, but now it's good, it's all mixed up."
"It's good that Your Highness has a heart."
King Chang stood up and patted Huo Yijun on the shoulder: "King An also saved you no matter what he said before, but now that he is injured, do you want to go with this king to see him?" ”
Huo Yijun's eyes lit up, this proposal was really timely.
"Yi Jun really wants to go, I don't know how His Royal Highness King An's injuries are?"
King Chang was depressed: "The emperor's uncle was too close to the source of the explosion, his back was injured, and his head was hit, but fortunately, he was strong in martial arts, and he dodged in time, and it was all flesh wounds that did not get in the way." ”
"If Uncle Huang doesn't make a move, I will definitely be killed this time."
Huo Yijun stepped forward to comfort: "Second brother is lucky to be okay now, King An will be fine, let's go see him first." ”
