The questioning continued until late at night.

Several adults who were listening were sleepy and couldn't open their eyes, only Lord Gu of Dali Temple was still in good spirits, and his eyes were shining.

Several adults couldn't help but sigh to themselves, in the end, they are young people, and their spirits are good.

"Hua Yicheng, you step back first, and then call you if you have a problem." Gu Zhou stopped.

Hua Yicheng bowed and retreated to the door before turning to leave.

"Master Gu, this only clue is now broken, how can this be good?" Master Gong cheered up and took the initiative to ask questions to show that he was listening.

"yes, I thought the mark on the window bolt was a clue." Xiao Wang said regretfully.

Who knew that Ji Yunchen and Hua Yicheng hypothesized that someone deliberately arranged the secret room to simulate the perpetrator's methods.

Gu Zhou stopped and looked at the inquiry records compiled by his subordinates, and said: "There were a total of thirty people in the post station the night before, and now except for Xiaojun Wang and his personal entourage Jiuli, as well as Chen Qilang, and the Jiang family's master and servant have not yet asked, and the inquiry records of the others are here." ”

"How so? It seems that everyone is fine, and the results of the autopsy also proved that Luo Du and others died of charcoal poisoning. ”

Prince Suhe originally squinted, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said angrily: "Master Gu, do you want to say that Luo Du deserves to die by himself?" ”

Gu Zhou stopped expressionless: "What the official just said is looking, it seems that what these words mean, can the prince understand it?" Do you want the official to explain to you? ”

Prince Suhe snorted coldly: "What do I mean by you?" Do you think this case can be solved? ”

"Don't worry, isn't this being checked? How can this case be solved, you can rest assured, the imperial court attaches great importance to this case, otherwise it will not let Lord Gu personally investigate. Xiao Wang's round game.

"You Daqi people are like ink, if you want me to say, kill all the people in this post station, and you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one."

Gu Zhou stopped and left.

"Where is Master Gu?" Xiao Wang said urgently.

Gu Zhou's face sank like water: "Doesn't the prince have a way to solve it?" Just let him kill. I'm going to go back and resign and enlist in the army, and I'll go to war. ”

Xiao Wang hurriedly grabbed him: "What the prince said is angry, why are you serious?" Lord, you said yes, right? ”

Sukh knew he was overtalking. Although Daqi is now bowing down to his subordinates and respecting Dayuan, if he does too much and arouses the anger of the Daqi people, they will resist.

So Prince Suhe said: "I lost my words." ”

Gu Zhou stopped and returned to his seat and continued: "First sort out the people who have been asked one by one, first of all, Hua Yicheng and the three miscellaneous servants, what do you think?" ”

A few adults, look at me, let me look at you, anyway, Jiang Xianling made up his mind not to express his opinion, and he is the youngest here, so it is not his turn to speak.

Or Lord Gong muttered: "This official thinks that Yi Cheng and the three miscellaneous servants can rule out suspicion, among all of them, the one who doesn't want anything to happen to the post station is Hua Yi Cheng, once something happens, the above will ask for the guilt, and he will bear the brunt." ”

"Your Excellency has a point." Lord Lu agreed.

"As for the three miscellaneous servants, there is not much suspicion, as they said, this post station often has people from the Great Abyss to stay overnight, and they have seen a lot of things that the people of the Great Abyss have done, and they will only be more cautious, for fear of offending the people of the Great Abyss. They all have families and will never do anything that drags down their families. ”

"Your Excellency has a point." This is Jiang Xianling and Master Lu speaking in unison.

If he can't handle the case, can he still be a sycophant?

Master Gong's analysis was echoed by the two, and he became more and more energetic.

"This official thinks that the people in Jiang Ji's caravan are quite suspicious, first, when they moved in, there was a conflict with the people of Dayuan, Jiang and Dr. Lin were despised by the people of Dayuan, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the King of the County to stop it, the consequences would be unimaginable, they had a grudge against it and had a motive to kill."

"Second, they live next door to Luo Du, so it's easy to get started."

"Lord Gong, don't forget, Luo Du's people live in five rooms, and they are not connected, Yang Xu and the others are the first to return to the room, and they plan to get up early the next day and leave this place, so as not to meet Luo Du and the others again. They never left the room and went to bed early. And Luo Du and the others slept upstairs at the night, so Yang Xu and the others didn't know which rooms Luo Du's people lived in. This has been confirmed by the statements of others. ”

Besides, Yang Xu originally heard that Luo Du lived next door, so he planned to leave overnight, but Chen Qilang was willing to give up his room to the Jiang family's master and servant, so he reluctantly stayed. Therefore, he only has the intention of avoiding Luo Du and the others, but has no killing intent, even if he has, he does not dare, our officials of Daqi do not dare to provoke the people of Dayuan, where do they have the courage to be ordinary people. Gu Zhou stopped laughing at himself.

The corners of Master Gong's mouth twitched: "What if he sleeps in the middle of the night and gets angrier and more angry the more he thinks about it?" ”

Gu Zhou sneered: "If someone commits a crime, then this perpetrator must have been carefully planned, and it is definitely not an impulsive killing." In the middle of the night, he can do such a case without leaving a trace, and the official does not believe that he has the ability. ”

"If the adults take care of them say this, aren't those officials and officials the most suspicious?" Master Gong choked.

"Empirically, it does. Of these eleven officials, two are from Dingzhou Mansion......"

Master Lu hurriedly answered: "Deng Kun and Hu Quan are the heads of the Dingzhou Mansion, and the two of them went to Mao County to track down the suspects. ”

Gu Zhouzhu continued: "Zhongda is the official of Hexi Town. ”

Jiang County ordered: "Exactly, Xiaguan asked him to go to Mao County to send something to Xiaguan's wife." ”

"The remaining eight are all officials sent to the criminal department in the capital on official business, carrying official documents related to the case, which shows that their main responsibility in the yamen on weekdays is to handle cases, if they plan properly, it is indeed possible to kill people invisibly. But the problem is that they all have alibis, and none of them are alone. ”

"Just ask, they didn't know each other in the first place, who would dare to give perjury for each other to risk killing their heads?"

Gu Zhou stopped talking, threw out the doubts, and denied the doubts again.

Prince Suhe's head was big when he heard it: "After talking about it for a long time, it's all nonsense, if you want me to see, it was the little county king who did it, only he has the guts." ”

The little county king dared to point his sword at him, what else did he dare not do?

Xiao Wangdao: "It can't be Ji Yunchen, I understand his temper, if he wants to kill someone, he will kill him when he rescues the Jiang family, and he can't sneak around and kill in the middle of the night." ”

Gu Zhouzhu agreed with this: "Indeed, Ji Yunchen will only kill openly if he wants to kill." ”

Xiao Wang saw that everyone was tired, so he said, "It's better to come here first tonight, everyone is tired, and we will continue tomorrow." ”

Prince Suhe snorted sullenly and was the first to leave.

"Master Gu also rests early." Xiao Wang said a word of concern when he left.

Gu Zhou stopped ignoring him.

Seeing this, Lord Gong comforted Xiao Wang: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Gu is this kind of virtue, don't be like him." ”

Xiao Wang glanced at him, and said indifferently: "His virtue, this palace knows better than you." ”

Lord Gong was bored and looked dazed.
