Everyone was taken aback, and Dongfang smiled and said angrily: "Su Zhuo, don't spray people with blood!, how can my second brother be a murderer?"

Shangguan Jun also sneered: "Su Zhuo, can you frame the second brother as a murderer with a candle and a few broken cowhides?"

Su Zhuo said in a deep voice: "This is not a few pieces of broken cowhide. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info If I'm not mistaken, this should be a shadow puppet!"

Duan Lihua asked, "What is shadow puppetry?"

Su Zhuo said: "In the Guanzhong area, there is a kind of thing called shadow puppetry. A white cloth is sheeted, and a light is lit behind it. The man hid behind the white cloth, holding these cowhide dolls in his hands, and the shadows were reflected on the white cloth. Using these to perform opera is called shadow puppetry. ”

Duan Lihua was confused and asked, "But what does this shadow puppet show have to do with the death of the master of the Zeng family?"

Su Zhuo smiled: "This time I went to Suzhou and figured out a lot of things. About ten years ago, that is, the ninth year of Kaibao, or the first year of Taiping Xingguo......"

When he said this, Fang Baishi suddenly interrupted, "Su Zhuo, what do you want to say?" His voice trembled a little, as if he was afraid.

Su Zhuo knew what he was afraid of, and said indifferently: "Fang Zhutou, anyway, there are only nine of us here, you just have to listen to it, what are you afraid of?"

He paused, then continued, "There was a big event that happened that year, and everyone must know about it. Emperor Taizu died violently, and the current emperor ascended the throne. But there is a rumor, I don't know if everyone knows. That's the rumor of the Candle Shadow Axe!"

Everyone looked at each other, except for Su Zhuo and Fang Baishi, the others were a little dazed. Fang Baishi said angrily: "Su Zhuo, you dare to bring these things here to talk about, aren't you afraid of killing your head?"

Su Zhuotou said: "Fang Zhutou, I know that for a person who has been doing fast hunting for more than ten years, the biggest torment is that he has encountered a mystery, but he can't solve it. Don't you wonder what happened back then?"

His words hit the bottom of Fang Baishi's heart, Fang Baishi has been a catcher for so many years, and he has encountered so many cases, the most joyful thing in his life is the moment when the mystery is solved. But now he obviously wanted to know Su Zhuo's answer, but he was afraid that he would say something rebellious.

Su Zhuo smiled: "Fang Zhutou, don't worry, I will never cause you trouble." He continued: "Ten years ago, after Emperor Taizu died, there were rumors that in Taizu's bedroom that night, the sound of human figures and swords and axes came out. After dawn, someone found out that Emperor Taizu was dead. This rumor seemed to be true or false, and it spread quickly. Now, after so many years, although many people no longer talk about this matter, there are still many people who are frightened when it comes to the sound of candle shadow axes. ”

Duan Lihua said: "That night, the master of the Zeng Sect also said something about the candle shadow axe!"

Su Zhuo said: "That's right! I also found out that ten years ago, as the leader of the Confucian sect in the world, the master of Zeng Sect was very respected by the emperor, and he often went in and out of the palace. The current saint was still the king of Jin at that time, and the master of the Zeng Sect happened to live in the mansion of the king of Jin at that time!"

Duan Lihua was taken aback, she was smart and immediately guessed some clues from Su Zhuo's words. She exclaimed, "Could it be...... Could it be that the master of the Zeng Sect has anything to do with the death of Emperor Taizu?"

Su Zhuo said: "What the hell is, it is impossible to know now." However, on the night of the death of the master of the Zeng Gate, he muttered to himself that the sound of candles and axes must have something to do with the events of the year!"

Fang Baishi said: "Su Zhuo, don't talk about the things of the year anymore. Tell me, what's going on this time?"

Su Zhuo said: "Okay! This time, someone knew about the events of the year, and the matter of the candle shadow axe made the master of the Zeng Sect frightened and inadvertently poisoned to death!"

Duan Lihua said, "What do you mean?"

Su Zhuo said: "From the very beginning, I suspected that this matter must have been done by someone inside the Confucian Sect, and it must have been poisoned by someone closest to the master of the Zeng Sect. Because Sun Qingliu also said that the tea he brewed was absolutely not poisonous, and he had drunk it himself. If he hadn't lied, then the poison could only have been brought into the teacup after Sun Qingliu brought the tea into the house. And the only people who can do this are the six gentlemen!"

Duan Lihua said: "That's right! Only these six people, the master of the Zeng Sect will not be guarded!"

Su Zhuo continued: "And with the martial arts of the master of the Zeng Sect and his love for tea, as long as there is a little peculiar smell in the tea, he will notice it immediately." But why didn't Master Zeng find out? This murderer must have adopted another method, not only attracting the attention of Master Zeng, but also successfully disturbing the mind of Master Zeng. This method is to build such a shadow puppet stage, and perform the things of the candle shadow axe back then, and show it to the master of Zengmen!"

Duan Lihua said suddenly: "Master Zeng was involved in the affairs of the year, and when he saw that someone actually knew the inside story of the year, of course he was so frightened that he panicked, and he muttered to himself, saying what candle shadow axe!"

Su Zhuo said: "That's right! That's why, Sun Qingliu saw that the room was very bright that night. That's because the murderer performs a shadow puppet show and lights a very bright candle on the table. That's why there's so much wax left on the table!"

Duan Lihua clapped her hands and said, "Master, you are so smart! Now these shadow puppet performances are all in Situ Gao's room, which can be described as conclusive evidence, and everyone has stolen goods!"

The five of the six gentlemen listened to the analysis of the master and apprentice, and the evidence was conclusive, and they looked at Situ Gao for a while, dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say.

Situ Gao was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was dazed, as if he didn't know where to be.

Fang Baishi sneered: "Situ Gao, what else do you have to say?"

Situ Gao said in a trembling voice: "I didn't kill anyone...... I didn't kill Master......"

Fang Baishi said with a smile: "Murderers, they won't admit that they killed someone!" he said, opened the chain on Su Zhuo's hand, and took advantage of the situation to put a set of hands on Situ Gao, locking Situ Gao.

Situ Gao looked stunned, and even forgot to resist, allowing Fang Baishi to lock people up. Although his juniors and disciples had the heart to explain him, they were speechless when they looked at the things in the box. Although they couldn't believe that Situ Gao would kill their master, they had to believe it.

Fang Baishi temporarily locked Situ Gao in the small courtyard on the mountainside, and Ye Shao and Luo Qian were naturally released.

The Confucian people were quite indignant when they saw that they had regained their freedom and that their senior brother had become a prisoner. Duan Lihua just wanted to laugh when she saw that they were speechless. She looked at Su Zhuo and saw that Su Zhuo still had a calm face, as if he was pondering something.

Duan Lihua smiled: "Master, the case was solved so quickly, and we were both free, why are you still unhappy?"

Su Zhuo shook his head slowly and said, "I always feel that something is wrong......

"What's wrong?"

Su Shu said: "I can't tell. I don't think Situ Gao is a murderer...... You say why did he let me search for it when he knew he had all this incriminating evidence in his box?" )
