Jiang Wanning shook her head: "The size of the shoes of the people at the post station is not matched." ”

It was so dark last night that she could only see the size of the footprints and couldn't find any other details.

This is also what she can't figure out, the most suspicious person, but because the size of the shoe print does not match, the suspicion is cleared.

"Is it possible that this person deliberately wore shoes that were one size bigger or one size smaller?"

"Yes."

"Can you see the shoe prints of what kind of shoes it is?"

Jiang Wanning muttered: "At that time, the shoe prints were already covered with snow, and I couldn't see the lines of the shoe prints, but according to the size of the snowflakes last night, when I went, the person left no more than a quarter of an hour." ”

If she had come earlier, she might have run into it.

Ji Yunchen looked at her quietly, and still couldn't tell whether the clues she provided were true or false, perhaps, she was disturbing his train of thought in the old suspicion array to cover the perpetrator.

That little thread convinced him that the perpetrator existed.

"You go back first, remember, you didn't go out last night, and you didn't see any footprints or ladder marks."

Jiang Wanning nodded, got up and bowed, and retreated.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ji Yunchen feels that she even salutes in the same posture as Nan Yu.

Ji Yunchen sighed, maybe because he missed it too much!

Chen Pingzhang finally waited for Jiang Wanning to come out: "Jiang Niangzi, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Wanning smiled lightly: "Do you think I look like someone who has something to do?" ”

Chen Pingzhang looked at her with a smile and groaned, and his dark eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, and he didn't feel stupid.

Regardless of whether Jiang Wanning provided real clues or fake clues, Ji Yunchen still followed this clue to sort out the people he had investigated before.

As Jiang Wanning said, the shoes of the post station and the three miscellaneous servants did not match the size, but there were two officials and Yang Xu of Jiang Wanning's caravan

One of the two officials is called Sun Hai and the other is Zheng Guan.

According to Sun Hai's roommate, Sun Hai drank too much last night, and when he went back to the room, he fell asleep, and the snoring sound made him unable to sleep at all.

And Zheng Guan gambled with the other three officials that night, and after the ugly time, Zheng Guan did go out to the thatched house, and it took less than half a cup of tea to go back and forth.

If he wants to complete the crime in such a short time, I'm afraid that in the entire post station, only he and Jiuli can do it, but they don't need a ladder at all.

Yang Xu had Xiao Pan and others testify, saying that he never left the room.

However, these witnesses may also bear false testimony.

The investigation is at an impasse.

Ji Yunchen could only gather everyone in the lobby and warn solemnly: "Remember every word you have said, when the time comes, the people from the Criminal Department or Dali Temple will come, but if there is a slight discrepancy between what you said and the record, you will be included in the key suspicion object, and in the end, even if there is no real evidence, it is very likely to become the unlucky scapegoat, understand?" ”

As long as he destroys the silk thread and conceals the information that Jiang Wanning went out last night, everyone ensures that the caliber is the same, then no one will have to be responsible for the death of the people of Dayuan, and everyone will be able to leave here safely.

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes." ”

Everyone knew that the warning of the little county king was by no means alarmist, and the little county king was protecting them.

In the afternoon, the Jiang County Order of Hexi Town arrived, and Ji Yunchen was there, how dare Jiang County Order question the results of the investigation of the little county king, but it was this result that made his heart that had been hanging all the way finally return to its place, so that the gall that he almost cracked could be repaired.

Since it was the fault of the people of Dayuan, it was none of his business.

But the final verdict must be made by the Criminal Department or Dali Temple.

When he arrived, Lord Lu, the prefect of Dingzhou, also arrived, and was limped into the inn by his subordinates.

It is said that he fell in a hurry.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchen asked people to invite Dr. Lin.

Lord Lu hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Royal Highness, the injury of the lower official doesn't matter, the investigation is important." ”

If there is a mistake in the case, it is difficult to say that he can't lose his head, and the black gauze hat on his head will definitely not be able to be saved.

Ji Yunchen expressed his understanding and handed over the previous interrogation record to Governor Lu.

"There is no confession between me and Chen Qilang, Chen Qilang is the nephew of Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and he lives in the same room with me, and neither of us went out of the room last night."

Lord Lu was terrified: "His Royal Highness the King of the County and Gongzi Chen are definitely not suspicious. ”

Give him ten heads, and he doesn't dare to doubt the King of Bohai County.

"Lord Lu, I had a conflict with those Dayuan people yesterday, you still have to act impartially, ask clearly, and clear up the suspicion of me and Chen Qilang." Ji Yunchen had a businesslike look.

Master Lu had no choice but to ask a few casual questions.

The rest were also called for questioning one by one, just as in the records.

Lord Lu was relieved, and in his opinion, the case could be closed.

The people of Dayuan were negligent and forgot to open the windows for ventilation, resulting in carbon fire poisoning and death.

The problem is that the case has been reported, and it is not up to him to decide how to end it.

Everyone continued to stay at the post station and wait for the higher officials to come.

Everyone's mood is quite relaxed, it is time to eat and drink.

At night, the snow stopped outside, but the wind blew harder.

At dusk on the second day, a group of men and horses came in a mighty manner.

Jiang Wanning stood in the corridor on the second floor and was surprised to see a few people coming in.

She was still thinking about how she would be able to meet them after arriving in the capital, who knew that she would see them here.

Lin Ruoruo stood next to her: "Why are so many people here?" Looks like a big official! ”

Chen Pingzhang on the side said: "The one wearing the purple cloak is the prince of the dynasty, the one wearing the white cloak is the Dali Siqing, and the older one is Gong Shilang from the Criminal Department, and the Dayuan person is the Prince Suhe of Dayuan." ”

Jiang Wanning was surprised, Xiao Wang became the prince?

You must know that Xiao Wang is the least favored among the princes, his mother was just a humble palace maid when she was pregnant with him, and after giving birth to the prince, she was named a concubine, but the emperor never summoned her again, and even Xiao Wang was not liked by the emperor.

In fact, the emperor wanted to marry her and Xiao Hao, the second prince born by the queen, but Xiao Hao didn't look down on her and thought she was a wild girl. She was indeed a wild girl who grew up in Wujun Mountain, and she beat Xiao Hao on the first day she returned to the capital.

But the emperor's words to promise her to the prince have already been said, Xiao Hao is unwilling, and the prince of the right age is left with Xiao Wang, so he promised her to Xiao Wang.

Unexpectedly, only three years have passed, and Xiao Wang, who has the least hope of becoming a prince, has become the prince.

What about the second prince? Can the queen promise to be next to the throne of the prince?

There is also Gu Zhouzhu, Gu Zhouzhu's ambition has always been to enter the Hanlin Academy as a university scholar. How did you go to Dali Temple?

Of course, the strangest thing is Ji Yunchen, at the beginning, he was bent on fighting on the battlefield, vowing to clear the enemy for Daqi and expand the territory for Daqi, but now he doesn't know what he is doing, holding a chess game every day, like an idler.

In three years, things are not people.

I came back late from a business trip today, and the update will be a little late, so forgive me, and tomorrow I will resume updating between 6 o'clock and one o'clock.
