Chapter 7 Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
If that person was really the murderer, how did the murder weapon come in?
Di Xue turned around and walked out of the wing room with doubts and walked towards the backstage of the troupe.
Prince Heng's mansion was very quiet at this time, and Prince Heng was worthy of being the emperor's most trusted courtier, and he did everything properly.
The room where the troupe made up their makeup was also guarded, and everything inside was still the same as it was at the time of the crime.
Di Xue approached, and the family opened the door to let her in.
There are no other furnishings in the house except for the things of the troupe, and it seems that they were specially packed up for today's use.
There are only a few dressing tables inside, the head and the hairpin are scattered aside, and the costumes that have been changed in the middle are loosely thrown in the box.
Di Xue walked to the prop box she cared about the most and looked through it, and sure enough, she found a hollow prop sword body.
It is impossible for the time-critical murderer to destroy this, so he can only put it in an inconspicuous place, that is, with other swords!
But how did he let Xu Yiyan just get the sword? Unless......
After figuring it out, Di Xue immediately rushed back to the wing room, pulled the old class master and asked a few words, and after getting a positive answer, she had already made up her mind.
Although not long has passed at this time, most of the guests in the house are nobles, so it is naturally not good to delay.
I had to explain the case in the house clearly, and as for the collusion behind it, I can only go back to Dali Temple to verify it!
So Di Xue asked Gonggong Jiang: "Today, on the birthday of Prince Heng's son, no guest is allowed to bring weapons into it, is that so?" ”
Father-in-law Jiang also understood what Di Xue was referring to, so he returned: "Master Di is right, it is impossible for anyone in the tightly guarded guests today to bring the long sword that killed Xu Yiyan into the room!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the people present more or less understood Di Xue's meaning, and the source of the murder weapon could only be another group of outsiders in today's mansion - the troupe!
Obviously, the head of the Chen class also thought of this, so he shook his head again and again, showing a pleading expression: "The children in the class were all raised by me, and it is impossible for me to do this with a pure temperament!" ”
Di Xue sighed lightly and took out the prop sword he had taken from the backstage, and now only a hollow sword body remained, but the hilt was missing.
"This thing is the prop sword that Xu Yiyan originally wanted to hold, but the murderer used the hollow part of it to hide the slightly narrow murder weapon sword body and bring it into the mansion!"
Di Xue's gaze swept over the troupe, and then said:
He only needs to remove the hilt of the sword in advance, take out the sword body with the blade inside, reassemble it, and put it next to Xu Yiyan! This person must know a lot about the production of props, and may be the person in charge of the props of the troupe. ”
Diecher paused and then continued:
"And there are so many prop swords, the only one who can ensure that Xu Yiyan gets the real sword is the person who makes the props, because he will tell the deceased to take this one, because this sword is specially made for the birthday banquet today."
As soon as Di Xue's words fell, a thin girl in the drama troupe retorted: "Impossible, Senior Brother Zhang, he is not such a person!" ”
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Huaizhi, his face became more and more pale under the oil paint, and he stepped forward and arched his hand at Di Xue:
"Master Di, I don't have a grudge against this woman, so why do you want to kill her?"
"That's it! Even if Senior Brother Zhang did accidentally take the wrong prop, Xu Yiyan scratched his neck by himself! ”
The thin girl seemed to have received the encouragement of Zhang Huaizhi's words, and said loudly.
Di Xue didn't answer, but took out the prop spear that Zhang Huaizhi used in the play: "She didn't scratch herself, but someone controlled her scratch!" ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Ran asked.
"The tip of this spear is no different from an ordinary spear, but there is an extra hook at the end of the thick iron of the pointed tip, although the blade is not opened, the hook can be used to lock the tip of Xu Yiyan's sword, and the sword can be controlled to scratch Xu Yiyan's left neck and poison it, while the audience on the right side will not see the abnormality!"
After Di Xue finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Huaizhi tightly, sweat seeped down his forehead, and his feet were faintly unstable, but he still settled down and returned:
"Maybe the situation that the adults said can be true, but the grass people are just a play, how can they complete such a rare action!"
As soon as Zhang Huaizhi's words came out, Chu Ran opened his mouth without Di Xue speaking:
"Do you know that Master Di is a martial artist appointed by the Holy Lord today, if you fight against her, she will naturally be able to easily find out your reality."
Ninety percent of this case has been solved, and the last place left is also what Di Xue is puzzled about, that is, Zhang Huaizhi's motives! So she asked:
"Zhang Huaizhi, who are you instructed by, why are you openly murdering in Prince Heng's mansion, and what is the purpose of forging a note!"
"No one commanded her, I can't tolerate her myself." Zhang Huaizhi knew that he couldn't get out today, so he said.
Without waiting for Di Xue to continue asking, the thin woman just now ran to Zhang Huaizhi's side and cried and asked him if it was because of Senior Sister Jin Qiao!
Zhang Huaizhi didn't turn his head and said no, but the woman said that he was too confused, and he actually killed someone for a woman who didn't love him!
Finally, Zhang Huaizhi flicked the sleeves of the costume to separate her, but then a trace of pain flashed in his expression as if he had thought of something, but in the end, he made up his mind and said to Di Xue:
"It's none of Qiao'er's business, I'm worried that Qiao'er will be replaced by her, so I killed her! I bought the Blood Melt from the ghost market, you can check it out! ”
"Xu Yiyan has just been in the troupe for two days, why are you so worried that you don't hesitate to design to kill people? I see you're still hiding! Di Xue naturally didn't believe his words, and just as she was about to continue talking, a male voice sounded outside the door!
"I'll just say it's none of the business with me!"
Perhaps hearing the news that Xu Yiyan did not commit suicide, Zhou Huai rushed over from the resting place arranged by Prince Heng and said loudly.
Seeing that Zhou Huai thought of the note again, Di Xue and Chu Ran glanced at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes!
"This case is not what it seems!"
Just when Di Xue was about to interrogate, Zhang Huaizhi fell straight down, and the thin woman wanted to go over but was stopped by Chen Banzhu.
Chu Ran rushed to the side to check and shook his head at Di Xue:
"It's the blood melting, he has been taking it for a while, the oral poison will slow down, but the poisoned person will feel a stinging pain like a pinprick all over his body, until he dies!"
"No wonder!" Di Xue looked at Zhang Huaizhi's corpse thoughtfully, this poison was taken by him before entering the chamber, but was he eating it himself or was it forced by others?
Di Xue leaned down to look for the source of the poison on her body, and finally her eyes locked on an oily paper bag in her arms, which opened with a faint smell of sugar.
Chu Ran took it and sniffed it, then nodded at Di Xue.
The sugar inside was stained with blood and melted, and Zhang Huaizhi died after taking it!
The dead man can't speak, if you want to go to the hidden story behind your back, you can only start from elsewhere, Di Xue thought about withdrawing from the side room, and the family of Prince Heng's mansion followed her back to Dali Temple with the two corpses......
