Jian Xuan looked at Xu Yan and said: "Lord Prefect, you can hide an object in your arms, forgive Jian Xuan for offending, it is a homicide case, can you take out the object and let the lower officials take a look?" ”

Xu Yan hurriedly took the account book from Hang Zhirong's arms just now, and he didn't dare to take it out to check it in front of everyone's eyes. Thinking that if the cloth bag was really his lost letter account book, he must not let Jian Xuan know, so he forced himself to calm down: "This official has a confidential account book of the government on him, but this has nothing to do with the murder case, as long as Liang Cheng proves that the wine and food are poisonous, and the official has no time to poison, he can prove that the official is innocent." ”

Liang Yanzuo took a silver needle to check the wine and dishes on the table one by one, a pot of wine on the table, a few wine glasses, a pair of chopsticks, and eight dishes, eight immortals across the sea, yellow croaker in soup, sweet and sour loin, braised crab, stir-fried asparagus, steamed eggplant, mushroom rape, and a pot of three fresh soup, which are indeed the signature dishes of the drunken restaurant, but almost all of them are intact, only the yellow croaker next to the wine pot is missing a few pieces of fresh meat.

Liang Chengzuo looked at it for a long time, looked up at Jian Xuan and Xu Zhifu and said, "Two adults, there is no poison in the wine and food. ”

Xu Yan and Jian Xuan were both surprised, and Xu Yan asked urgently: "Wasn't Hang Zhirong poisoned to death?" ”

Liang Chengzuo: "The deceased was indeed poisoned, I found a small black round hole in the chest of the deceased, and took out a silver needle from the small black hole, two adults, please see." ”

Liang took a long wooden box from a catcher next to him, lifted the lid of the box, and there was a silver needle more than an inch long lying in the box, with a thin tip at one end and a slightly thick end at the other, like an embroidery needle without an eye for a needle.

Liang Yanzuo glanced at Xu Yan, looked at Jian Xuandao: "The silver needle is coated with poison, in my experience, it should be to see the blood and seal the throat, and the silver needle can enter the body and see the blood, and it can take a person's life in a moment." ”

Jian Xuan was slightly surprised: "You can take someone's life in a moment?" According to Zhao Rui, the uncle of the restaurant, he heard a cry of pain outside the compartment door, and then opened the compartment door, and saw Hang Zhirong's face twisted in pain, his body twitched a few times, and then he fell to the ground, and then died. If that cry of pain was the silver needle piercing into Hang Zhirong's body, it caused Hang Zhirong to cry out in pain, and then Zhao Rui opened the compartment door and saw Hang Zhirong's body twitching and dying. According to Liang Yan's judgment, this moment is enough time for the poison to attack and cause Hang Zhirong to die? ”

Liang Qizuo nodded: "Judging from the intensity of the poison on the poison needle, it is enough." ”

Jian Xuan confirmed again: "That is to say, if someone pierces Hang Zhirong's body with a poisonous needle that has been fed with blood and seals his throat before Zhao Rui hears that cry of pain, when Zhao Rui opens the compartment door to check, Hang Zhirong should be dead, and Zhao Rui can't see Hang Zhirong still alive?" ”

Liang Yanzuo glanced at Xu Yan, hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, the poison can attack with a few wheezing, and if it is pierced into the body in advance, the deceased should have lost his life long ago." So I also think . The cry of pain heard by the uncle was the time when the silver needle pierced the deceased's body. The poison entered the body, and when he saw the blood sealing his throat, he immediately attacked, and the uncle opened the compartment door, only to see the painful struggle of the eldest prince Hang before he died. ”

Jian Xuan looked at Song Su next to him and said, "Check the window to see if there are any traces of someone climbing and stepping on it." ”

Song Su immediately nodded and walked to the window to take a closer look.

Jian Xuan looked at Zhao Rui again: "When you open the compartment door, except for the prefect, can you see other traces, or can there be a figure flashing in front of the window?" ”

Zhao Rui shook his head: "No, there is only one prefect in the compartment." ”

Song Su leaned over the window to take a closer look, turned his head to look at Jian Xuan and said, "Master Jian, there are no climbing marks on the window. ”

Jian Xuan nodded, and turned his head to look at Xu Yan, who was pale: "Governor Xu, you should have heard of the poison that seals the throat with blood, the poison enters the body and sees blood, and it can immediately take people's lives." Zhao Rui opened the door and saw that Hang Zhirong was still alive, which could only mean that the poisonous needle had just been stabbed into Hang Zhirong's body, and if a third person pierced the silver needle into Hang Zhirong's body at that time, there was no hiding place in this compartment, and that person could only quickly jump out of the window and escape. Zhao Rui heard Hang Zhirong crying out in pain, and then opened the compartment door, even if he couldn't see the person's face clearly, he should be able to see the person's shadow. If the man jumps out of the window and escapes, there should be some marks left on the window frame. Besides, outside the window is the street, just now it was dinnertime, there were many people on the street, and the person jumped out of the window, which must have attracted people's attention and attracted discussion, but I came all the way, and I didn't hear anyone talk about the person who jumped out of the window.

Therefore, when Hang Zhirong's poisonous needle enters his body, there are only two people in this compartment, you and him, unless Hang Zhirong commits suicide, the only person who kills him can only be you. As far as I know, although Hang Zhirong has encountered some unpleasant things recently, he is by no means a person who seeks death easily. What's more, although Hang Zhirong has a dislike for adults, he can't stand you, and he shouldn't have much resentment towards adults. Therefore, even if Hang Zhirong wants to commit suicide, there is no need to wait for the prefect to arrive, commit suicide in front of you, and frame you, right? ”

Xu Yan's face was like ashes, he was stunned for a while, looked at Liang Yanzuo and said, "You said that the silver needle was found on Hang Zhirong's chest?" ”

Liang Qizuo nodded: "Yes." ”

Xu Yan lowered his head and said angrily: "Damn, I was calculated." ”

Jian Xuan looked at Xu Yan and said, "What does the prefect mean by this, it has something to do with the object in your arms?" Lord Prefect, at this moment, human and material evidence all point to you killing people, and you are the only suspect in killing Hang Zhirong. Do you know that according to the law, I now have the right to have your whole body searched? ”

Xu Yan glanced at Jian Xuan, sighed deeply, and slowly took out a gray cloth bag from his arms. Jian Xuan was about to take it, Xu Yan suddenly tore open the bag, took out two books, opened them quickly, glanced at them a few times, and said with anger on his face: "Damn, who is so calculating me?" When I find him, I'll kill him alive. ”

Jian Xuan's eyes were puzzled, he stretched out his hand to take the two books, and glanced at them, which turned out to be two Spring Palace pictures. Jian Xuan's face was puzzled, and he looked at Xu Yan and said, "Lord Prefect, where did these two books come from, just rely on two private books, and adults can't get rid of their crimes?" ”

Xu Yan looked at Jian Xuan and argued urgently: "Lord Jian, I was really calculated by others, Hang Zhirong said. He said he had evidence of corruption by several officials in Jinzhou. He asked me to meet in the last compartment on the third floor of the Drunken Restaurant today, and said that he would hand over the evidence to me in person, which would be regarded as a gift of apology to me. I hope that after I accept the evidence, the grudge between him and me will be resolved.

I came as promised, walked into the compartment, and did see Hang Zhirong lying on the table, as if drunk. I thought that the evidence of the official's corruption should be on Hang Zhirong, so I searched and touched Hang Zhirong's body to find evidence. I pressed Hang Zhirong's chest through my shirt and found that he seemed to have books and account books hidden in his arms. When I touched the books and books, Hang Zhirong's body trembled violently, and then he screamed in pain and sat up straight.

I thought that Hang Zhirong had woken up, and I was afraid that he would regret it and refuse to hand over the account book to me, so I quickly took out the book and account book from his arms and put it in my arms. Then, I looked at it, Hang Zhirong's face was distorted, he reached out and grabbed my arm, twitched twice, and then fell to the ground, out of breath.

I guess that someone must have inserted the thick end of the poison needle on the cloth bag outside the book in advance, and aimed the thin end of the poison needle at Hang Zhirong's chest. Because Hang Zhirong had been lying on the table before, the book bag was hanging out, and it was not attached to Hang Zhirong's body, so the poisonous needle did not pierce Hang Zhirong's body. When I searched and pressed Hang Zhirong's whole body and searched for the account books, I pressed the account book cloth bag on Hang Zhirong's body, and the poison needle was pushed by the books and stabbed into Hang Zhirong's body, Hang Zhirong was immediately poisoned and died, and others thought that I killed Hang Zhirong. ”

Xu Yan stared at Jian Xuan nervously and said, "Lord Jian, you have always been sharp and witty, and you have solved countless cases. You believe me, what I'm saying is true, I've really been designed by someone else. ”

Hang Zhitong couldn't listen to it anymore, glared at Xu Yan and said loudly: "Xu Yan, you don't make quibbles, this is all your words, I think you are jealous of my eldest brother and Zuo Peipei, and deliberately killed my eldest brother." Hang Zhitong looked at Jian Xuan: "Now that the human and material evidence is available, you can convict Xu Yan, you can't be afraid of power and shield your boss because he is the prefect, right?" ”

Jian Xuan: "Miss Hang Si rest assured, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, how dare I disregard the law in vain as a little magistrate." Jian Xuan looked at Xu Yan again and said, "Lord Prefect, you haven't opened these two books since you picked them up, haven't you?" You said that you thought that these two books were the evidence that Hang Zhirong wanted to hand over to you, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Jinzhou, Hang Zhirong was poisoned and died, from the time Hang Zhirong was poisoned to the time I came to the restaurant, why didn't you take out the books and take a look, maybe the real murderer of Hang Zhirong in the account book was poisoned? ”

Xu Yan: "I. I was being thought of as a murderer, and I was a little flustered, forgetting about it, and not thinking to check the book. ”

Jian Xuan shook his head: "No, everyone can see it, Liang Chengzuo said that the wine and food are non-toxic, and before Hang Zhirong died of poisoning, the prefect was very calm." ”

Xu Yan was annoyed: "Master Jane, do you think I lied and think that I killed Hang Zhirong?" ”
