Xie Yixiang's words shocked the audience again. You must know that in the past three months, eight local servants have examined this headless corpse, and they have also invited three concubines and two personal servants of King Heng, but they dare not confirm whether this corpse is King Heng. Now, based on this cursory examination in this antechamber, how could Xie Yixiang conclude that this headless corpse was not King Heng?

Although Master Chang was shocked, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Xie San, what clues have you discovered?"

In fact, when Xie Yixiang had just conducted an autopsy, she had already seen a huge flaw, but she kept it silent, wanting to understand the ins and outs of the case first. Who knew that after listening to everyone's complaints, a mysterious woman who was hiding in the 'Fengwu Pavilion' of Bifu and dressed up as Guan Gong was involved from Zhao Ruo's mouth, which made the case more confusing, and even completely led the suspicion to the Bi family.

You must know that Xie Yixiang came to Bifu this time to exonerate the Bi family and resolve the unjustified disaster brought to the Bi family by this murder case. As for the truth and the murderer, she was not interested at all. Even if King Heng really died in Bifu, even if the murderer was Bi Changxiao himself, she had to find ways to help the Bi family get rid of the crime, because the Bi family and the Xie family were also friends in the world, but King Heng was not a good bird.

Now that Bi Changxiao has been persuaded by himself, he no longer insists that the deceased must be King Heng, so it is time to settle this murder case in Bi Mansion.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang stood up, walked straight to the front hall, stretched out his hand and pulled away the white cloth covering the headless corpse, exposing the entire headless corpse to everyone's eyes, and then said: "Please take a closer look at this corpse, you can know that what I said is true!"

It turned out that when the soldiers brought up the headless corpse, everyone had already seen it, and secondly, they were a little taboo about the corpse, so only Xie Yixiang had seen it from beginning to end. As the white cloth on the corpse was lifted, everyone immediately looked at this headless corpse, and sure enough, it was the headless male corpse in pajamas, where was there anything abnormal? I heard Xie Yixiang say slowly: "Actually, this whole thing is very clear, as Master Chang just said, there are two most critical doubts in this case. First, whether the visitor who came to Bifu that night was the emperor's eleventh prince, King Heng, and second, whether the headless corpse was the visitor that night. ”

Saying that, Xie Yixiang took a deep breath and said eloquently: "Let's talk about the first suspicion first, according to the analysis of all the clues at the moment, it is inferred that the visitor who came to Bifu that night is definitely not the real King Heng. There are at least three reasons for this. ”

"First, it is not in place. The war along the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was in the midst of a hurry, so how could King Heng choose to leave his garrison at this time and take with him the most prestigious general in the army? It must be known that once the war along the coast is defeated, no matter what reason King Heng has, he will certainly not be able to escape the blame, and he will inevitably be punished by the emperor.

"Second, it doesn't make sense. If King Heng really left his station, he must have traveled in small clothes, and acted in secret, how could he swagger down in the sword pavilion post station of the imperial court, and also reveal his identity to the post man? Even if he leaked his mouth for a while, he would definitely tell the post man not to make a noise, and even kill him, which turn would be the turn of the post man to report the matter to his superiors, and provoke a group of officials to come to Bifu to visit? This seems to be a pre-arranged design. ”

"Third, it's not humane. As said before, if King Heng really came to Bifu at this time, it must be a very important matter, how could he not say hello to the master first, and then go to rest on his own on the grounds of fatigue? This reason could not be simpler, it is easy for the fake King Heng to hide the Fu housekeeper who has not been seen for more than ten years, but it is almost impossible to hide from Zheng Guogong, who is good at himself, so he does not dare to meet him. ”

After saying this long list of inferences, Xie Yixiang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately concluded: "You must know that the murderer has only one purpose in cutting off the head of the deceased since ancient times, and that is to cover up the identity of the deceased, and this case is no exception. According to the above three reasons, the people who came to Bifu this time must not be the real King Heng, and most of the people behind the scenes who instructed the impostors to replace him were King Heng himself!"

For a while, several people present couldn't help but nod secretly, her inference was indeed reasonable and reasonable. Master Chang immediately slapped his thigh and said, "It's still Miss Xie San's extraordinary knowledge!" This official has always been suspicious of King Heng's identity, but he is really ashamed that Miss Xie San thinks about the whole thing so thoroughly. Although General Song was also convinced by Xie Yixiang's conclusion, he couldn't help but ask: "The truth is such a truth, but Miss Xie San can't just make an assertion based on speculation, but what evidence is there?"

Xie Yixiang said with a smile: "Of course, there is evidence, then we have to find the second key point of this case-is this headless corpse at the moment, is it the visitor that night? I can tell you responsibly here that this corpse is not only not King Heng, but also cannot be the visitor that night." ”

After that, she saw that everyone hadn't understood yet, so she immediately said: "King Heng is thirty-five or sixteen years old this year, since that visitor dares to assume the name of King Heng, and can deceive the eyes of Steward Fu, he is naturally about this age." Steward Fu, do you say yes or no?" the Fu official immediately said: "Yes, the visitor that night was indeed a middle-aged man in his thirties. ”

Xie Yixiang nodded and said with a smile: "That's amazing." Please take a closer look, this headless corpse is clearly a young man in his twenties, how can it be King Heng?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire front hall was in an uproar. You must know that most people in the world judge each other's age by their appearance, and if they judge from their bodies alone, they need a certain amount of vision and experience. Therefore, it is reasonable that everyone present could not see the age of this headless corpse for a while. Master Chang was half surprised, and couldn't help but say: "How is this possible? At that time, the post-mortem made it clear that the deceased was indeed a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man...... Before he finished speaking, General Song Shen had already come to the side of the corpse, and after a closer look, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice: "No...... No, this corpse is clearly not the one we examined at the time! Is it ...... Did someone dump the body?"

At this time, everyone was still surprised by Xie Yixiang's remarks just now, but as soon as Song Shen said this, it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and many people had not yet reacted to what had happened in front of them. In fact, Xie Yixiang had already guessed this, not to mention that the headless corpse was chopped off with a blunt object after death, which was completely inconsistent with the blood flowing at the murder scene described by everyone, and it was obviously very different from the results of the autopsy that Master Chang had relayed before. In this regard, she also suspected that the murder that night was caused by the fact that everyone was lying, or that the murderer was suspicious, or even that the results of the autopsy conducted by the eight men in Chengdu Mansion were wrong. But when I heard General Song say this sentence at this moment, it turned out that the fact was that the corpse had been dropped.

That is to say, the corpse in the front hall at the moment is not the headless corpse left in the "Longyin Pavilion" on the night of the murder, let alone the headless corpse that he and King Heng's family saw after the crime, but a headless corpse that was stolen and re-found in the three months after the incident, or even not long ago. That's why the head of this corpse was chopped off with a blunt object after death.

But who is the deceased of this headless corpse in front of him? Could it be that in this Bifu, there were actually two murders?

If it is said that Guan Gong's manifestation to kill "King Heng" is the first murder in Bifu, then the nameless male corpse in front of him is the second murder in Bifu. And the person who dropped the body may not be the murderer of the first murder, but there is probably a connection between the two, and this person is very likely to be the murderer of the second murder in Bifuli.

If the murderer of the first murder has already fled from Bifu, it is not impossible, but the person who replaced the corpse may also be the murderer of the second murder, but now he must be in Bifu, and it is even very likely that he is one of the people present in the front hall at this moment!
