Chapter 229: Review
Lord Haiqing and Chen Chang of the Qing Zheng Division have been investigating the scene of the crime since they came to the scene, and soon they found something, probably closely related to this case.
"Master Huo, there's a discovery here!!"
Huo Yijun hurried to Haiqing's location, only to see that they found a small bottle under the table leg, which looked like it should have contained something.
"This should be a vial of poison."
She took the small bottle and examined it, and then handed the things to the Tai Hospital to identify the ingredients of the medicine in the bottle, so as to determine what poison was inside.
In fact, Huo Yijun also understands medical skills, but she can't directly distinguish these poisons, besides, this incident happened in the palace, so don't get involved in too many things at this time, otherwise, you will only expose too many things.
After inspecting the scene, Huo Yijun proposed to go to the room to review all the incidents, so as to find the next step to break through, and everyone also followed her footsteps and went to the room.
Pushing open the door, I didn't expect Jiang Xie to be resting on the Luohan bed in the room.
When he saw someone coming, he opened his eyes and called them directly to the door.
"Come in and talk."
"Yes!"
Several people entered the door one after another, Jiang Xie also got up at this time and walked to the table and sat down, looking at his appearance, he should also participate in the discussion, as one of the people who happened in the case, he should indeed participate.
Jiang Xie looked at a few people who were a little restrained, waved his hand, and said kindly: "Don't be formal, sit down." ”
With his words, these people dared to sit down, but Huo Yijun stood aside, as if he hadn't heard what Jiang Xie had just said, and his whole heart was solemn.
"Why doesn't Lord Huo sit?" Jiang Xie asked her.
Huo Yijun didn't hear it, and walked to the corner of the wall in front of him, and cast unexpected glances at her behind him.
Hai Qing and Chen Changsheng realized that Huo Yijun had not replied to His Royal Highness King An, and they were extremely rude, and hurriedly stood up and apologized for her.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, Lord Xiao Huo likes to face the wall when he thinks, and when he figures it out, he will naturally talk to us, and you need to wait patiently."
In fact, Jiang Xie knew about Huo Yijun's problem, so he didn't plan to investigate it, but at this time, King Chang stood up unexpectedly.
He may have been under pressure and his tone was anxious: "Then we just wait?" If he can't figure it out today, are we going to wait for him here? ”
Jiang Xie looked at him, his eyes were slightly cold: "What's the matter with waiting?" You can't afford to wait? ”
King Chang, who had been stared at, suddenly realized that what he said was wrong, and his imperial uncle, King Gong'an, didn't think he was so impatient, and he was really a little too anxious.
The two adults of the Qing Zhengsi also hurriedly went to Laho Yijun to come over, only to see the people facing the wall coming over.
"I've kept you waiting, I'm a person who always likes to face the wall when I think, and now that I've figured it out, we can carry out a review action, I wonder if a few of you are ready?"
Jiang Xie nodded: "Ready, can Master Huo start?" ”
"It's time to go."
Huo Yijun stood in front of people to review, the purpose of which was to sort out the clues in his hands that were known now, and give them to the two adults who were able to clear the main division.
"Today is the coronation ceremony of King Chang, and the entire process of the ceremony is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.
"It is known that the incense burner exploded when the incense was applied, and the order in which the incense was put on was already known, and based on the fact that the explosives were entrenched in the furnace at that time, it can be inferred that the explosion occurred after a short burning time."
"Then, the murderer is not killing indiscriminately, the person he wants to kill is among the five people who are incense, and the person who planted the explosives must be in collusion with the five people, so that he can plan this matter unknowingly."
Huo Yijun said this, and then looked at the father-in-law Gao who came with them.
"Father-in-law Gao, what progress has been made now on the matter that the official asked you to investigate?"
Gonggong Gao got up and saluted everyone, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Old slave, I did what Master Huo said before, and led the palace people to investigate all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who had participated in the coronation ceremony. ”
King Chang asked, "What's the clue?" ”
Gao Gonggong said: "The old slave has investigated, and there are indeed people who have approached the incense burner, and the little eunuch in charge of the furnace did not come at all when he was sick that day, so the eunuch who was guarding the furnace at the ceremony at that time was the murderer who pretended to be a eunuch." ”
"The murderer blended into the eunuch, put down the explosives near the furnace, he even calculated how many times it would take to apply incense to achieve the current effect, and he controlled the time very accurately, so he can be said to be a talent."
Hai Qing mentioned: "Are you praising that murderer?" ”
"The murderer is so smart, naturally he can appreciate a few points, if he is given this kind of assassination mission, to leave no trace, I believe that no one present should be able to do it like the murderer, and you will not even think of storing explosives in the furnace."
"You know, storing explosives in the furnace is not so simple, there are palace people patrolling the palace at all times, and the location, time, and how long it takes to ignite the fuse need to be precisely controlled."
Lord Chen: "Lord Xiao Huo is now extremely admiring the murderer, if he knew in advance that you would lead the case, he would definitely think that you were ready to exonerate the murderer." ”
Huo Yijun shook his head.
"It's impossible to exonerate the murderer, and it's still a top priority to catch him."
Huo Yijun changed his words and returned to the topic: "After the explosion occurred, under the arrangement of Huo Guifei, the clan relatives and everyone gathered in the Taihe Hall for dinner, and the poisoning case occurred during the period. ”
King Chang thought hard and asked, "Lord Xiaohuo, do you think there is any connection between these two cases?" I don't seem to have much of an internal connection right now, or even say there is no connection. ”
"It's like another case fabricated out of thin air, with no factual basis at all, and I can't see what there is an internal motive for killing."
Huo Yijun solved the confusion for King Chang and asked a rhetorical question: "The prince thinks about it, these two cases are so close to each other, if it is not committed by a murderer, why would it be so coincidental"
The people at the table were lost in thought, indeed, the two cases were so close together that it was hard not to associate them together.
At this time, Jiang Xie proposed other possibilities: "This king thinks that these two cases may not really be committed by the same murderer, or rather, not by the same group of murderers." ”
"Assuming that no one was seriously injured at the scene after the furnace explosion, if the murderer had been nearby, he would have seen all the survivors."
"Knowing that the survivor he wanted to kill the most is still alive, then his focus will be on preparing for the second assassination, and there is the current situation.
Huo Yijun nodded in agreement: "There is a lot of truth that the prince said, if the person you want to kill is not killed, then in order to achieve the goal, the next step will be to assassinate directly, so if you say this, the murderer's target may be Your Majesty from the beginning." ”
