Du Ziqi suddenly looked at Su Shi with a very strange look, with three parts appreciation, three parts awe, three parts worry and one part regret.
He couldn't help but admire: "Master Su is indeed very smart."
Su Shi smiled and said, "I don't deny this."
"Since Mr. Su is so smart, he naturally knows that it will be difficult for me to plead guilty with just a few words."
Su Shi said: "I don't expect this."
Du Ziqi raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "As you said, all of this is my speculation without any solid evidence. If I were you, I would never plead guilty."
Du Ziqi said in confusion: "In this case, everything you have done is in vain."
Su Shi said meaningfully: "Really?"
Du Ziqi asked, "Isn't it?"
Su Shi said slowly: "Absolutely not."
Before Du Ziqi could ask again, Su Shi explained: "Since all these are my speculations, I can't guarantee that my speculations are 100% accurate. Maybe the ghost in the Hongmei Pavilion is really the ghost of Hui Niang." scattered, and Cui Peng did die in an accident."
Then he looked at Zhou Jin and Su Zhou and continued: "Although Her Royal Highness the Princess and my eldest brother believe my speculation, they may not have this idea in their hearts."
Hearing this, Du Ziqi's face turned ugly again, because he finally understood what Su Shi meant.
If Zhou Jin and the others were just doubtful before, now they are certain.
"It seems you understand what I mean." Su Shi smiled.
Du Ziqi once again shut his mouth tightly, and if possible, he even wished that he had not said anything at all.
Su Shi seemed to understand his thoughts very well and said, "You must be regretting it now. You shouldn't have said so many words."
Having said this, he smiled and said: "But actually it doesn't matter whether you say anything or not, because when you planned to get rid of Cui Peng, the current result was already destined."
Du Ziqi just sneered. He had already made up his mind and would never speak again.
Su Shi ignored him and continued: "I believe you must think that this plan is perfect and will never leave any evidence, just like the haunted incident at the Hongmei Pavilion nine years ago."
Only Su Shi's voice echoed in the entire prison, and even Zhou Jin and Su Zhou were listening carefully.
"Actually, I really admire him." Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Because whether it's the haunting incident at the Red Plum Pavilion or the death of Cui Peng, his plan is really perfect, and no one can find a shred of evidence. "
Hearing Su Shi mention this person again, Du Ziqi's eyes suddenly flashed with respect and admiration.
Su Shi said sincerely: "He must be a great person."
This was Su Shi's conclusion.
When he heard this conclusion, Du Ziqi's lips wriggled, but in the end he remained silent.
"It's just..." Su Shi suddenly looked directly into Du Ziqi's eyes.
Du Ziqi seemed to see the shadow of that person in Su Shi's eyes. He looked dazed for a moment and couldn't help blurting out: "It's just what?"
Su Shi said calmly: "It's just that no matter how perfect his plan is, people are always the ones who execute the plan. As long as they are people, they will make mistakes, and as long as they make mistakes, there will be flaws. This is the case with the haunted incident at the Hongmei Pavilion, and the same is true with Cui Peng's accident. so."
"As for where you made mistakes and exposed flaws, I believe Her Royal Highness the Princess has already told you, so I won't repeat them again, lest I look like a nagging old woman."
In the end, Su Shi concluded: "Although he is a perfect magician, his tricks are also so magical and weird, but because of your mistakes, his tricks were exposed. And as long as a magician's tricks are exposed, then he His tricks seem ordinary in the eyes of everyone."
Then he said to Zhou Jin: "You can let him go."
Not only Zhou Jin, but also Su Zhou was shocked.
"Let him go?" Zhou Jin couldn't believe her ears and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes. Since we have no evidence, and he refuses to admit it, and Your Majesty is not allowed to use torture - but I guess even torture cannot pry his mouth open - then it is better to let him go."
"But..." Zhou Jin still wanted to argue, but Su Shi shook his head gently.
"Do you still remember Cui Peng?" Su Shi suddenly asked.
"Cui Peng?" Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi hesitantly, wondering why he suddenly mentioned Cui Peng.
Su Shi sighed: "Do you know why Cui Peng didn't renew his relationship? Why did he live in seclusion? Why did he continue to practice martial arts every day after leaving the secret guard?"
Su Zhou's eyes lit up at this moment, and he couldn't help but say: "He didn't renew the relationship because he didn't want to worry about it. He lived in seclusion because he was afraid of being plotted by others. Naturally, he insisted on practicing martial arts for self-defense."
Although it was Su Zhou who answered the question, Su Shi looked at Du Ziqi: "Why is he like this?"
Du Ziqi just bit his lips tightly, which seemed to be bleeding.
Su Shi explained: "Because he made a mistake."
"Made a mistake? What mistake did he make?" Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask.
"In the case of the Hongmei Pavilion being haunted, he shouldn't have done anything unnecessary." As he said that, he looked at Du Ziqi again and sighed: "I believe that in his plan, the strange phenomenon that appeared in the study did not involve the movement of the chair. and flipping the book, and these are just Cui Peng's own actions." At this point, Su Shi couldn't help but smile: "Maybe he just learned ventriloquism during that time, so he couldn't help but show off."
"However, he didn't know that it was precisely because of his own initiative that the plan to haunt the Hongmei Pavilion was flawless." Then Su Shi thought for a while and continued: "I believe that the reason why he left the Secret Guard is absolutely related to It’s about the mistakes he made.”
Zhou Jin also understood at this time, and she couldn't help but said: "Cui Peng must know that the day this incident comes to light, it will be the day he loses his life, because he will never let her go."
"So you think this person would really attack Du Ziqi."
Zhou Jin suddenly felt a chill in her heart, because she couldn't believe that the other party was so bold and dared to attack a fourth-rank official of the imperial court.
Su Shi said coldly: "Not only will he attack Du Ziqi, but I think he will not only target Du Ziqi."
Zhou Jin and Su Zhou looked at him in shock and said in unison: "Is this person going to attack his family?"
Su Shi sighed: "You should think about why Zhao Liang was so determined to commit suicide."
Su Zhou was horrified: "Because if he doesn't die, his family will die."
At this time, Du Ziqi suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter resounded throughout the prison.
Zhou Jin and Su Zhou looked at him in surprise, thinking that he had gone crazy.
Su Shi just looked at him quietly, and waited for his laughter to subside before slowly asking, "What are you laughing at?"
Although the laughter had stopped, Du Ziqi still had a smile on his face.
"I'm laughing at you."
Su Shi didn't seem to be surprised: "Why are you laughing at me?"
Du Ziqi sighed: "I have to admit that you are a very smart person. You have guessed many things right, as if you have seen them with your own eyes. But you are human after all, and you always make mistakes."
Su Shi said lightly: "I would like to hear the details."
