At the beginning of the shower, the sky became extremely blue.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and into the study through the window, which suddenly brightens up the study.

Zhou Jin and Su Zhou's spirits were also lifted, but not because of this gentle sunshine, but because of Su Shi's words.

When the sun shone in, Su Shizheng said lightly: "Although the death of the prince seems mysterious and incredible, and I can't explain the cause of the prince's death for the time being, but in this matter, the other party's plan is not perfect, so it is not impossible to track it down." ”

This sentence not only lifted Zhou Jin and Su Zhou's spirits, but also made them ecstatic.

They have been tracking for ten years, and although they can't say that they have found nothing, they have traced very few clues, and they can't understand it at all.

However, Su Shi only listened to their narration, and not only found the flaws of the other party, but also had the direction to trace.

Surprised, they couldn't help but look at Su Shi, as if they wanted to split his head open and find out what was in his head.

"How do we find out?" Su Zhou finally couldn't help but ask.

Su Shi said slowly: "If the prince was really murdered to death, then judging from the prince's abnormal behavior during that time, he should be alert, and know that the other party will do it on the twenty-ninth day of the winter month." ”

"So how did the other party do it? Why can't so many imperial doctors find anything suspicious? Su Zhou asked.

"Don't you ask me?" Su Shi smiled: "Because I don't know either." ”

Then he continued: "I said that any perfect plan, as long as the chess pieces move, will inevitably reveal flaws, and I believe that in the case of the prince's violent death, the flaws of the other party must be in the dead people. ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But ten years have passed since this incident, and those people have long since turned into dry bones, so there is no point in tracking down any further." ”

Zhou Jin's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she didn't interrupt Su Shi's words, because she knew that there must be something to follow.

Su Shi didn't go around in circles with them, and continued: "But there is another thing that can be investigated, and a breakthrough should be found through this matter." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion." Without waiting for them to ask each other, Su Shi asked rhetorically: "In your opinion, does the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion have anything to do with the cause of the prince's death?" ”

"Absolutely." Su Zhou replied affirmatively.

"Why?"

Su Zhou was speechless, although he intuitively thought that the two were inevitably connected, but if he really wanted him to connect the two things, he had no clue.

Su Shi said slowly: "If there is no problem with my analysis just now, since the prince has already been alert, what will he do at this time?" ”

"Naturally, report to your father, and then arrest the person who wants to assassinate him."

Su Shi asked again: "Then why didn't he do that?" ”

Zhou Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Su Shi sighed: "I guess the prince must have a reason why he can't tell the Son of Heaven." I don't know why, so don't ask me. ”

This sentence is equivalent to not saying it, but Su Shi immediately said: "But the prince will definitely leave some clues, and these clues are most likely in the Red Plum Pavilion." In this way, many things can be explained. ”

At this time, he suddenly asked Zhou Jin: "Hui Niang was placed under house arrest in the Red Plum Pavilion, did she propose it herself, or did your father arrange it?" ”

Zhou Jinxiu raised her eyebrows, her eyes lit up like paint, and she couldn't help but say: "You mean, if Comet Niang brought it up herself, then it is very likely that she knows that the prince left a clue in the Red Plum Pavilion." ”

"It's a possibility."

"But what if my father arranged it?"

Su Shi said: "Then it is very likely that Hui Niang discovered something during her house arrest." ”

Zhou Jin suddenly shook his head and said, "No, if Huiniang really found evidence about the cause of the prince's death, why don't you report it directly to your father and let people investigate it thoroughly." ”

Su Shi rubbed his forehead and said, "Here we need to figure out another thing, is Huiniang really committing suicide?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jin and Su Zhou couldn't help but be taken aback.

After being shocked, Zhou Jin muttered, "Do you think that Comet Niang was also killed by someone?" ”

"I'm just saying it's possible." At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Regarding the matter of the prince and Hui Niang, has the secret guard checked it?" ”

"Verify what?" Zhou Jin was a little puzzled.

Seeing Zhou Jin's puzzled expression, Su Shi sighed: "That's nothing." ”

Zhou Jin also reacted at this time, shook his head slightly, and said: "It is against etiquette for the prince and the palace maid to fall in love, how dare the secret guard investigate." ”

"Regarding Hui Niang's death, have the secret guards checked it again?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Because the first person to find Hui Niang's body was the secret guard. At that time, he carefully examined Hui Niang's body and the scene, and found nothing suspicious, so he came to the conclusion of suicide. ”

Su Shi muttered: "And this conclusion is also very reasonable. ”

When her lover died, Hui Niang couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness, so she voluntarily followed her beloved, which is reasonable in anyone's eyes, and even sighed at Hui Niang's loyalty.

Su Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Why do you suspect that Hui Niang was murdered?" ”

"Because if Comet Niang was murdered to death, it means that the clues she tracked made the other party feel threatened, so she had to kill the killer."

Su Zhou asked again: "How did those people know that Hui Niang had found the clues left by the prince?" ”

Su Shi replied: "It means that after Hui Niang was placed under house arrest in the Red Plum Pavilion, she has been under the surveillance of the other party. At the same time, Hui Niang should also be aware of it, so she left the handkerchief as a clue. ”

However, Zhou Jin still felt that Su Shi's inference was problematic.

"Since Hui Niang thought of leaving the clue on the handkerchief, why didn't she tell her father directly?"

"Could it be that by that time she will not be able to deliver any news?"

"Impossible." Zhou Jin said categorically: "Although Comet Niang can't go out, my father has also sent seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids to serve her, and she can ask these eunuchs to pass the word to her father." ”

Speaking of this, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she looked at Su Shi in horror, unable to speak for a long time.

Not only her, but even Su Zhou felt extremely frightened in his heart, as if layers of huge waves were rushing towards him.

They couldn't have imagined that Su Shi's speculation would be so bold.

Su Zhou took a deep breath before suppressing the horror in his heart.

"You mean that the seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids are also the other party's people."

Su Shi shook his head lightly and said, "It won't be all of them, but there will always be two or three." ”

Zhou Jin blurted out: "Why? ”

"If it were all the other person, that handkerchief wouldn't have appeared in front of you. This also explains why the handkerchief that could have been embroidered in just a few days took three months to embroider. ”

"Why?"

"If a person does the same thing every day for three months in a row, will it attract the attention of others?"

"Yes."

"Since it will attract the attention of others, then these people must be very impressed by this matter."

Zhou Jin suddenly realized, she continued: "So the palace maids and eunuchs of the Red Plum Pavilion all know that Hui Niang embroidered a handkerchief, so that even if Hui Niang is killed, they don't dare to destroy this handkerchief." ”

"No one would have cared about a handkerchief, but this handkerchief has attracted everyone's attention, so even if the other party knows that Hui Niang left clues on the handkerchief, he will not dare to destroy this handkerchief. Because once they destroy this handkerchief, they will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. ”

At this time, Su Zhou let out a sigh of relief, although the above were all Su Shi's speculations, but his speculations were reasonable, and he had already given them a direction to follow.

Zhou Jin muttered: "Your inference just now is that Yu Huiniang was murdered, but if Huiniang really committed suicide, wouldn't your inference become a castle in the air." ”
