Verse 360: Provocation
"Raw rice cooked and ripe rice?hehe! Does Lord Lin know this idea of Lin Xuangongzi?"
Li Chengjie chuckled disdainfully, and then asked lightly!
"The villain doesn't know!"
Xiao Tong shook his head violently and said in a panic!
"Oh, you don't know! Then your son and Miss Geng have ever been out of your sight!"
Li Chengjie asked again!
"Yes!"
The boy nodded and said!
"How many times, where?"
Li Chengjie grabbed the little boy's collar and asked!
"Just once, I can't remember exactly where I was, when my son-in-law was walking around with Miss Geng, Miss Geng suddenly said that she was thirsty, and my son-in-law ordered me to fetch it, and I don't know what happened after that!"
The little boy was suddenly picked up by Li Chengjie like this, with a look of panic on his face, he really could think of anything and say it!
"And how long have you been there?"
Li Chengjie then asked!
"The villain deliberately wandered around for a while, and the villain didn't know how long he had been gone!"
Xiao Tong's eyes gradually became a little erratic! Under the pressure of Li Chengjie, Xiao Tong's breathing gradually became short!
"Then what happens when you come back? What is the abnormality between your son-in-law and Miss Geng's?
Li Chengjie asked a relatively critical question!
"There is nothing abnormal! I can't see anything at all! My son-in-law, Miss Yu Geng, still talks and laughs, just like before!"
The boy shook his head and said!
"Come on, take him back to the prison of Dali Temple first!"
Li Chengjie let go of his hand, stood up, and ordered loudly!
When Li Chengjie's words fell, two officials turned around and ran!
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives! What the villain said is true! Adults spare their lives!"
Seeing this, the little boy hurriedly knelt up, hugged Li Chengjie's thigh and cried!
"Go back, tell the person who tried you exactly what you just said to the official, word for word! Of course, if you think of anything else that the official didn't ask, you can continue to explain. If you cooperate, the officer will be able to make you suffer less. If you are not honest, be careful of the punishment of this official!"
Li Chengjie shook his legs, and then said sharply!
"Yes, yes, the villain understands!"
When the little boy heard Li Chengjie's words, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him!
"Take it away!"
Li Chengjie ordered! Then he waved his hand and summoned another official and said:
"Go and inform the Lord Bo Wang Pime, let him go back to Dali Temple first, and make a record of the confession of Lin Xuan's entourage!"
Li Chengjie opened his mouth again and commanded!
"Yes, sir!"
When the official heard this, he quickly ran away to find Wang Lianmin!
Li Chengjie stood alone in place, looking at Lin Xuan's death, his eyes showed a contemplative look, if he followed what the little boy said just now, I am afraid that Lin Xuan's death may really have something to do with Geng Fengxian!
Just now, Lin Jian insisted that Geng Fengxian was the murderer, and treated Geng Fengxian like this, so what Lin Xuan wanted to do today, Lin Jian was very likely to know!
And Geng Fengxian ......
Li Chengjie untied Lin Xuan's clothes, turned them over, and found that Lin Xuan only had a small blood spot on the front chest, but not on the back chest!
Li Chengjie thought of this, turned the immortal power, turned Lin Xuan over again, slapped a palm on Lin Xuan's chest, and then pinched it slightly with his two fingers, and pinched out a silver needle!
The silver needle was subjected to Li Chengjie's reaction and flew out upside down from Lin Xuan's heart!
Li Chengjie gently pinched the silver needle, fanned it with his hand, and gently sniffed the smell on the silver needle, it should be poison!
"Everyone, all here!"
After Li Chengjie pinched the silver needle and got up, he shouted loudly!
After a while, the officials of the surrounding Dali Temple rushed to come!
"What about Wang Lianmin?"
Li Chengjie looked left and right, but didn't see Wang Lianmin's figure, so he asked!
"My lord, Lord Wang has already returned to Dali Temple first!"
Li Chengjie listened to the official officer's report and nodded!
"Come, go get the evidence bag, put this silver needle up, and send it back to Dali Temple for testing, and check the toxins on it! The rest of the people, bring Lin Xuan's body back to Dali Temple!"
Li Chengjie ordered one by one! Then he picked a person who looked more reliable and handed over the silver needle!
"Yes!"
The surrounding officials of Dali Temple replied in unison!
"Your Excellency, you're all set!"
One of the officers spoke up when everyone was ready!
"Okay, let's go!"
After Li Chengjie gave the order,
They went to Dali Temple!
......
As he was walking, Li Chengjie saw Wang Lianmin running towards him! Li Chengjie frowned, hurriedly greeted him and asked:
"Pity the people, what are you?"
Li Chengjie looked at Wang Lianmin's sweating profusely, and felt that something was wrong!
"Master Li, the two officials in front of you and Lin Xuan's entourage have all been killed!"
Wang Lianmin said urgently! His eyes were full of anxiety!
"Dead, take me there!"
When Li Chengjie heard this, his color suddenly changed! This was his negligence, how could he let the two officials escort Lin Xuan's entourage back to Dali Temple first!
"Li Chengjie naively thought that the thieves would not dare to attack him and their official servants in Dali Temple, so he was so relieved, but now, hearing Wang Lianmin's words, Li Chengjie felt a burst of remorse in his heart!"
Wang Lianmin took Li Chengjie and ran to the place where he found the bodies of the three people, and when the officials of Dali Temple saw this, they trotted to follow!
After a while, Li Chengjie saw those three people, and sure enough, they had all cut off their breath, and the death was extremely similar to Lin Xuan's death!
Li Chengjie unbuttoned the entourage's shirt, and sure enough, there was a small red dot on his chest, but he tried a little hard, but no silver needle flew out of the blood spot!
Li Chengjie turned the man over again, but was shocked to find that there was also a blood spot on his back!
Li Chengjie checked the front chest and back of the other two, and they were all the same!
"Go, spread out and find out if there are any similar silver needles around here!"
Li Chengjie frowned, turned his head and ordered!
"You, go and get that silver needle and give it to Lord Wang!"
Li Chengjie took a deep breath and called the person who kept the silver needle just now, and asked him to hand over the silver needle to Wang Lianmin!
"You have to be really careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. One of his negligences was that the boat capsized in the gutter, and not only did two officials of Dali Temple die, but such an important eyewitness also died here!"
Li Chengjie is really sorry now!
"Master Li, what is this?"
Wang Lianmin looked at the silver needle in the physical evidence bag, and he asked!
"This is what I took out from Lin Xuan's chest, it should be this thing, it killed Lin Xuan! The one who killed the three of them should also be this kind of silver needle!"
Li Chengjie said in a heavy tone!
"So, the murderer is the same person!?"
Wang Lianmin said in astonishment!
"It's hard to say!"
Li Chengjie groaned, shook his head and said!
"Say, 'Why did the man kill this attendant?'
Li Chengjie slowly got up and looked at Wang Lianmin and asked!
"This entourage must have seen something!"
Wang Lianmin said without hesitation! It is very common for murderers to kill people in vain and try to get away with it!
"Then wouldn't he kill Miss Geng too!"
Li Chengjie's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said in a deep voice!
"Miss Geng is in danger? Then Lord Geng is not! Lord Li, let's go and have a look!"
When Wang Lianmin heard this, his heart suddenly panicked, he had a marriage contract with Geng Yulan, so Geng Fengxian was his sister, and Geng Zhi was his father-in-law! How could he not be in a hurry!
"Don't worry, promise to follow Master Geng's side, it should be fine, if there is something, let's go now, it will be useless!"
Li Chengjie looked at Wang Lianmin's anxious appearance, and he opened his mouth to reassure!
"Well, too!"
When Wang Lianmin heard Li Chengjie's words, he calmed down a little!
"Lin Xuan's silver needle was shot from the front chest, not from the back chest! First, the murderer did it deliberately, and second, the strength was insufficient! According to what he just explained, it was Geng Fengxian and Lin Xuan who walked in front, and he followed behind the two, which is also more in line with common sense!"
Li Chengjie said carefully to Wang Lianmin!
"So, if that entourage can see something, Geng Fengxian will definitely be able to see it!
Wang Lianmin listened to Li Chengjie's words, and he took the opportunity to analyze!
"That's right! So, if he chooses to kill because of what this entourage has seen, there is no reason why he shouldn't kill Geng Fengxian! Moreover, looking at his murderous methods, it seems to be extremely clever, if he wants to kill Geng Fengxian, it should not be difficult!"
"And if that's the case, why didn't the perpetrator kill Geng Fengxian and that entourage at that time?"
Li Chengjie asked suspiciously! Because in Li Chengjie's opinion, this matter is too strange, and the murderer has no motive at all to commit murder at this time! Because he has a better way and a more suitable time to do these things, but he doesn't have any!
Instead, he chose to do it at this time, in addition to increasing his violence
The risk of exposure, Li Chengjie can't think of any benefit to him!
"Could it be a provocation?"
Wang Lianmin listened to Li Chengjie's words, he also wanted to go deeply, according to what Li Chengjie said, it is really incomprehensible that the murderer committed murder at this time!
"Hmph, all the murderers who break the law are provoking! I really suspect that Geng Fengxian is the murderer of Lin Xuan now!"
Li Chengjie snorted lightly, and then muttered in a low voice!
"How could it be?
When Wang Lianmin heard this, his first reaction was to veto Li Chengjie's speculation!
"Didn't she promise to accompany Lord Geng to send Miss Fengxian back to the Geng Mansion? how could she have the time and opportunity to kill them! Not to mention, how could she, a delicate woman who was weak and couldn't help herself, have such ability!"
Wang Lianmin pointed to the three corpses on the ground and said!
"Hehe, that's the only "motive" I can think of the murderer doing the murder at this time! And I guess he must have left the silver needle at the scene!"
Li Chengjie seemed to have seen through everything in a blink of an eye, and reasoned with extreme confidence!
"My lord, I found one!"
"My lord, I found one too!"
"My lord, I've found something here!"
Just after Li Chengjie's voice fell, it didn't take long for such news to come!
"Sure enough, three silver needles that were exactly the same as the silver needles taken out of Lin Xuan's chest were found by the officials!"
I will arrest the murderer with my own hands, and then tell him what it is, being smart is being mistaken by being smart!"
Li Chengjie raised the corners of his mouth slightly! He already has a general idea of this case, and the rest is to verify them one by one!
"Provocation?
Li Chengjie was scarlet in his heart! Killing him as an official of Dali Temple, isn't this stretching out his hand to hit him Li Chengjie's face?
"Come on, bring their bodies back with you! The families of these two officials should be comforted, and when their families come to collect the corpses, they will be given a pension of 300 taels!"
Li Chengjie personally lifted the two dead officials, and then said loudly!
"Li Chengjie is actually not suitable for life and death, but this is something that people must get used to!"
Li Chengjie also endured all this silently!
......
Everyone returned to Dali Temple, and Li Chengjie ordered the officials to properly dispose of the four corpses. Then he gave Wang Lianmin a detailed confession of the entourage, and the two sorted out the case together!
"Damn, it's just hateful! Then Lin Xuan is innocent of death! Trick Miss Fengxian into going to the suburbs of Beijing, what I thought in my heart was such a dirty thing! Phew!"
Wang Lianmin listened to what Li Chengjie said, he slammed his fist on the table, and a few drops of ink splashed out of the ink inkstone next to him!
"Pity the people, you and I, as law enforcers, see such a thing, remember not to mix personal feelings, if Lin Xuan is not dead, Geng Fengxian reports the case, you and I can severely punish him! But he is now dead, he is the biggest victim! We must find out the murderer who killed him first!"
Although Li Chengjie was also very disgusted with Lin Xuan's behavior in his heart, he said extremely calmly at the moment!
"You should have a rough judgment on this matter now! So, do you still think that Geng Fengxian is not suspicious?"
Li Chengjie looked directly at Wang Lianmin and asked!
When Wang Lianmin heard this, his face changed! He was instantly dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say!
Before, he was still swearing to vouch for Geng Fengxian, but now, after listening to Li Chengjie's words, his heart was already a little shaken, he could no longer say for Geng Fengxian so categorically!
All personal emotions should be put aside! And throw away, Geng Zhi, Geng Yulan's relationship, Wang Lianmin thinks about it carefully, Geng Fengxian may really be a little suspicious, but Wang Lianmin really doesn't want to believe it!
"The person who killed the official and his entourage may also be the murderer who killed Lin Xuan!
Wang Lianmin thought about it, and he still said stubbornly! He really couldn't believe that Geng Fengxian, a weak woman, would do such a "murderous thing."
To be honest, when Wang Lianmin went to Geng's Mansion that day, when he saw Geng Yulan and Geng Fengxian, he was a little tempted by both of them!
Moreover, he once "heard" Lord Geng, and once said that he was willing to marry all the daughters of his Geng family to him......
Therefore, Wang Lianmin has some thoughts about Geng Fengxian, a "lovely" beauty!
It's just that he must marry Geng Yulan properly home now, otherwise he won't be able to catch a single empty bamboo basket, not to mention that he has offended Geng Shangshu and violated the emperor's marriage, and he can't afford to give him a crime casually!
