Chapter 413


It is said that Bai Ji brought Liu Shilang and others back to the Criminal Department for the sake of the murder of Prince Rui's subordinate officials and asked about the situation at that time.

Liu Shilang first gave a detailed explanation of Xiao Zhong's discord, and said: "I thought they were full and should go back to the city, but who knew that they went into the water again and made trouble, because we were uncomfortable, and we didn't look at it very closely, we only remember that a few people were playing at first, and Xiao Zhong also tried his best to make trouble, and then it was almost time, so they all came ashore, only to find that Xiao Zhong was lying in the water, screamed a few times, but still didn't move, and those Liao people jumped down in a panic."

At first, Liu Shilang and the others only thought that the Liao people were still frolicking, and they didn't care, until they even called a few times and Xiao Zhong didn't move, then they realized that something was wrong, and they all stood up and looked at where they went.

At this moment, those Liao people had already stripped off their clothes one after another, dived into the water, and ran over there.

It wasn't until I arrived at the side that I noticed the anomaly.

Liu Shilang thought of that time, raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead.

Although Liao people are fierce and rude, accompanying these people is not a beautiful case, but I really can't imagine that not only is it not beautiful, but it is a nightmare-like situation, after all, he is a civil servant, where have I seen such a terrifying scene.

At first, looking at the puddle of blood oozing out of the lake from a distance, he thought that Xiao Zhong had an accident, maybe he was bumped into something in the water and injured, but those Liao people who were close to him were all screaming and couldn't dodge, and some of them were in a panic, almost unable to flutter in the water, and the splashes were all blood red.

When they finally reluctantly calmed down, they gritted their teeth and got Xiao Zhong's corpse up, and everyone saw that it was like the scene where the butcher in the market killed a pig, and tried his best to wash and peel his stomach and take out the internal organs, etc., out of ten, five or six of them vomited on the spot.

Those Liao people were going to scold, but they couldn't stand it, and they suddenly vomited three or four.

Thinking back at this moment, Wu Zi couldn't bear it, Liu Shilang couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and said: "That's the case at that time, before Shang Shu went, those people were scolding, saying that it was our hands, but they were all in the water, who could kill people like this without knowing the groundwater" and muttered in a low voice: "Besides, we are not as vicious as them, even if we really want to kill, we don't have to use such bloody and cruel means." ” Bai Zhu pondered for a moment and asked, "Before they go ashore, can you notice whether Xiao Zhong is not moving or still making trouble?"

Liu Shilang wrinkled his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "Shangshu forgives sins, but I didn't pay attention to this. ” Bai Ji said again: "Then, after these Liao people went ashore, they found that Xiao Zhong had not moved, and the lake water had changed color at that time."

Liu Shilang said worriedly: "It seems that there has never been one, but this scene is really terrifying, and the lower officials are really in a trance." ” He also summoned the other officials present to inquire with the guards, and they all said the same thing.

Only after listening to Bai Ji's last two questions, there was also a guard who said: "Because this Xiao Zhong is really rude, the squire told us not to pay attention to them, let alone look at them without authorization, lest they use the excuse to make trouble."

So we rarely look at anything.

But I was angry that he was rude, and I glanced at him a few times."

These Liao people were originally the sworn enemies of the Shun people, just because they negotiated peace, but they didn't do it.

When they were angry again, the guards were naturally angry in their hearts, and when they saw them making trouble in the lake, the guards glared at them with white eyes, and thought in their hearts: "If you drown this Liao dog here, you can relieve the hatred in your heart."

When I thought about it like this, I couldn't help but glance a few more times.

At that time, several people came ashore one after another, but Xiao Zhong lay on his stomach and did not move.

The guard said: "I saw it at the time, and I still felt strange in my heart, could it be that the heavens follow people's wishes, and really let this Liao dog die in it" This idea is naturally a vent of anger and hatred, but I never imagined that it came true.

Another official from Honglu Temple said: "Although the situation was terrifying at the time, according to the memory of the lower officials, before those people went into the water, they did not see any blood in the water, of course, maybe because they were too far away, some could not see clearly. ” When asked again, I saw other strangers on the surface or around them, but they all shook their heads.

After asking the officials on Shun's side, I asked Prince Rui's entourage to come and talk back.

Bai Ji asked these people who went into the water, who was the first to go into the water, what they were doing in the water, various directions, and who relied on Xiao Zhong to wait recently.

The Liao people were already anxious and rude, and when they saw Bai Ji's question in such detail, those who knew the proportions were still patient and well-behaved confessions, and there were two frizzy ones, and because they couldn't recall it, they squeaked and screamed.

It's just that no matter how they make trouble, Bai Ji only looked at it lightly, and Prince Rui scolded a few words from the side because he was also here, and these people finally replied unwillingly.

Bai Ji asked those two questions again, these people scratched their ears and cheeks, sighed, and finally two of them said: "At first, Xiao Zhong was still messing with us, but then there was no trace of him. ” Another said: "I laughed at him for not having any strength, and he didn't pay attention to it, but just buried his head in the water, and I thought he didn't know what he was doing, and the big guys were going to go ashore, so I went with him." ” As for the problem of the discoloration of the lake, it was Prince Rui who said, "I watched from a distance at the time, and there was nothing unusual in the lake.

It was only when they went into the water to save people that the chaos opened. ” Prince Rui is different from others, he is a well-known erudite and strong memory, and his words are naturally correct.

It's just that after saying this, I was vaguely a little uneasy, and when I glanced at Bai Ji, I didn't make a sound.

Bai Ji also saw that his face was different, so he only signaled to take the others down, leaving only Prince Rui alone.

Bai Zhu said: "I don't know what His Highness can see."

Prince Rui coughed: "What's there?"

Bai Ji said: "First, I asked Xiao Zhong when he didn't move, but I saw the clue before everyone went ashore.

Second, when the blood seeped out was after the crowd had gone into the water.

If Xiao Zhong was broken before everyone went ashore, then the blood stains would spread, and everyone would not have to go ashore to see the clues. ” Prince Rui said: "The meaning of Shangshu is that before my subordinates went ashore, Xiao Zhong was not disemboweled, but after he was re-launched."

Bai Ji said: "Now there are two doubts, first, why did Xiao Zhong suddenly stop moving, and second, how did the murderer quietly break his stomach and disappear without a trace. ” If you exclude the people present, the murderer must be lurking in the water and acting quietly, which means that the murderer must be a diving master, secretly approached from the bottom of the water, and after giving Xiao Zhong a fatal knife, he escaped from the water and escaped without a trace.

Prince Rui looked at Bai Jiao and looked at each other: "Shang Shu suspects anything, just say it." ” Bai Ji said: "With His Royal Highness's understanding of Xiao Zhong, would he have joked with everyone at that time and deliberately buried his head in the water and stayed still?"

Prince Rui frowned and thought for a moment: "There is such a possibility, but from the time everyone went ashore to the rescue in the water, it took a quarter of an hour, Xiao Zhong's water nature was not so good, if he deliberately joked, unless it was too much of a joke, he fainted but he was not stupid enough to be so, so it should not be a joke." ” Bai Zhu was about to ask Xiao Zhong about his water nature, but unexpectedly, Prince Rui was well-informed and explained it himself.

Bai Ji said: "Since it's not a joke, there is only one other possibility, maybe Xiao Zhong has already encountered an accident at that time." ” Prince Rui was shocked: "You mean that he was dead at that time, but there was no blood in the water, what do you say?"

Bai Ji said: "What if it was not the knife that made Xiao Zhong fatal."

Only then did Prince Rui understand: "If it wasn't that knife, what would it be?"

Bai Ji said: "I'm waiting for the autopsy of the laboratory.

Presumably, the quarterly inspection office will find it. ” As he was talking, he saw Ji Taoran walking to the door with a book in his hand.

Before he raised his hand and knocked on the door, he suddenly saw that the two of them were included, Ji Taoran clipped the book, and saluted: "Shangshu, His Royal Highness the Prince." ” Bai Ji said: "Ji Xingxian, please come in, just now I was talking to Prince Rui about you, I don't know what I found."

Ji Taoran walked in, presented the book with both hands, Bai Ji took it, read it from beginning to end, and then transferred it to Prince Rui.

Prince Rui also looked at it, frowned and said, "What kind of murder weapon is different?"

Ji Taoran said: "Yes, knives, guns, swords, halberds, or straight knives, machetes, swords, daggers, hooks, stabs, etc., leave different traces, but the traces on Xiao Zhong's corpse do not match those worn by the guards that day."

Xia Guan ordered to search for a few more things and finally found that there was a trace similar to one left. ” Bai Ji said: "What is it?"

Ji Taoran said: "Scimitar." ” Prince Rui's expression was even more bad: "Why does the scimitar say that?"

Ji Taoran said: "The tip of the scimitar is thin and sharp, when it is pierced, because it is necessary to press it in, the scars left on the corpse will present a small arc like a scimitar blade, and according to the degree of damage to the internal organs of the corpse, ordinary swords, straight knives or daggers, stabs, etc., will not cause such major damage, at first I didn't expect it to be a scimitar, but when I tested it with a hook, I found that if the hook hung the internal organs, it would be as miserable as we saw, but if it was just a hook, The incision on the surface of the corpse was not as smooth, so I thought it was a scimitar. ” Prince Rui lowered his eyes and secretly took a breath of cold air.

Bai Ji closed the book, and knew it in his heart, so he looked at Prince Rui and said: "I just told Your Highness that the scars on Xiao Zhong's body appeared after the subordinate officials went into the water again, and the murderer may be a diving master, who has been lying in the water waiting for an opportunity to do something, or perhaps, the murderer is no one else."

Bai Ji paused, and suddenly asked, "I don't know what kind of weapons His Royal Highness's subordinate officials use?"

This is also the reason why Prince Rui's face was not good after listening to Ji Taoran's words.

The weapons used by the Liao people were not quite the same as those in the Central Plains, because they were born to hunt, and they were accustomed to the sharp curved blades, which had been used when washing and peeling their prey on the lake.

It's just that a moment ago, he was happily chasing and killing his prey, but in the blink of an eye, he became the one who was killed.

Prince Rui was suspicious and surprised, where could he admit it: "Shangshu, how can you be a person who doubts me, how can the people with me kill each other, do you really want to find a scapegoat and protect your own people?"

Bai Zhu said lightly: "I just look at the evidence and speak." ” Prince Rui sneered: "If it is really as you said, then may I ask, how did they move their hands At that time, they were all in a hurry to rescue Xiao Zhong, there were many people in the water, and everyone on the shore was watching."

Ji Taoran said suddenly: "In front of everyone's eyes, you can also kill, and it will make people unable to see the clues." ” Prince Rui frowned: "What are these words?"

Ji Taoran said: "I heard Director Xie talk about a case in the south before.

One of the murderers killed the victim in front of his entourage, but the entourage still knew nothing. ” Prince Rui said: "Joke.

Are those people stupid?"

Ji Taoran said: "It's not stupid, but it's just that I'm blinded by the technique." ” The case that Ji Taoran said is naturally the bone peach blossom case, that Zhang Xiaozuo is unaware, and he got rid of Lu Yu while talking and laughing, and the people of the Lu family should have been killed by gods and ghosts on the road.

Bai Ji was naturally very clear about this case, and he had a clue: "It was in the water at the time, if the murderer seemed to be a rescue on the surface, but in fact, he assassinated Xiao Zhong by covering it up in the lake and the situation was panicked at that time, in the eyes of others, there would naturally be no suspicion."

This is the only way to explain why the people did not see the blood in the lake before, but only when they approached, the blood instantly gushed out. ” Bai Ji asked, "Your Highness, I don't know who was the first to approach the past at that time."

Prince Rui closed his lips tightly and refused to answer.

On this day, in the palace.

Zhao Hao accompanied the emperor to talk for a long time, and when the emperor was sleepy and asleep, and had nothing to do, he was about to leave the palace.

As he walked to the Qianhe Palace, he saw several guards dressed in front of him whispering and laughing.

Zhao Hao didn't think so, but when he saw one of them, he stepped forward.

When these people saw him coming, they all saluted one after another, and Zhao Hao said, "Xiao Liu'er, why are you here?"

The person who was questioned was Liu Zonghou, the son of the Marquis of Baoning, and said busily: "Today it is my turn to be on duty, and I am coming in to change shifts, is Your Highness going to leave the palace?"

Zhao Hao said: "Yes."

By the way, the day before yesterday at your house did a great job, I remember that I will be married next year."

Liu Zonghou said with a smile: "I haven't thanked Your Highness for appreciating the light, Your Highness remembers it well, it is the third day of February next year." ” Zhao Hao nodded and said, "This bride is not bad, have you seen it?"

Liu Zonghou coughed and said, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, once I went to Gu Hanlin's mansion as a guest, and I took a look at it from a distance. ” Zhao Hao saw that although he didn't comment much, he had a smile on his face, obviously a very satisfied look, so he smiled and said: "Congratulations first, it's really a talented woman." ” Liu Zonghou thanked him again, and said that he would like to wait when the time comes, so Zhao Hao put it aside and left the palace by himself.

Turning over the horse, Zhao Hao thought: "I asked the bride how it was, and he was not annoyed, since the bride was mentioned, he didn't see frivolity, he seemed to be a gentleman."

I can't find anything bad when I look left and right, is it the fault of Bai Zhang's niece and daughter, well, Bai Zhang's niece is like an iceberg, and his niece is only afraid that she is also a tricky character. ” I was doing and thinking, but I saw a team in front of me The author has something to say: people and horses passed by, Zhao Hao looked at it fixedly, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night, how to think about it, I see it, I think more about Ah Yan."

"He was joking, but he took it seriously.

Closing his eyes like this, he thought fiercely for a while, and after a while, he vaguely noticed that someone was quietly approaching him, and Zhao Hao's heart was pounding: "It won't really work like this" Hurriedly opened his eyes. gd1806102:
