Prince Huai's Mansion.
Changsun and his entourage explained their origins to the guards and entered the house after receiving permission.
The servants had become accustomed to the coming and going of Dali Temple personnel who came to investigate cases in Prince Huai's Mansion these days, so they did not feel anything strange about the arrival of Zhangsun and his entourage.
Zhou Mi took everyone directly to the North Study Room, where Dali Temple police officers were guarding day and night to prevent unscrupulous people from damaging the scene before the case was closed.
Zhou Mi showed his official certificate from Dali Temple and led Zhangsun and others into the crime scene.
In fact, the senior officials of Dali Temple did not deliberately prevent Yun Xuezhi from entering the crime scene. The reason why Yun Xuezhi encountered resistance was actually because the people at the bottom of Dali Temple felt that the imperial court sent a champion who had no experience in solving cases to take charge of the case. It is an "insult" to their abilities.
In addition, Yun Xuezhi always acted aloof, so he immediately encountered cold resistance from the lower-level officials of Dali Temple.
Since Zhou Mi chose to bring Yun Xuezhi and others into the scene, he simply told everyone the results of some investigations.
Zhou Mi said as he walked: "The North Study was originally the study of King Huai. Although Tang Huai'an was a concubine, King Huai was very pleased because he had taken over the task of preparing for the autumn hunt, so he gave the North Study to Tang Huai'an."
"Because of this move, it was rumored throughout Prince Huai's palace that Tang Huai'an was the most promising to inherit the title of Prince Huai."
Everyone listened to Zhou Mi talking about these secrets of the palace, which were not secrets, and everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Innocent people like Liu Xinyan and Wu Dakui were completely indifferent to the intrigues in the palace.
Yun Xuezhi sneered at these clan members who were born to be superior to others, but whose abilities were not as good as those of others.
The eldest grandson heard something unusual, so he pretended to be stunned again and said, "Aren't the other descendants of King Huai jealous of Tang Huai'an?"
Zhou Mi sneered and said, "Huh, jealousy and hatred? The overt and covert competition in a big family is much crueler than you think."
Changsun looked like this, but he had a guess in his heart.
Zhou Mi opened the door of the north study room, and found that the study room was well organized and there was no obvious disorder.
Yun Xuezhi had entered the study, but as he was not a professional case solver, it was impossible for him to grasp all the clues at once.
After entering the study, Yun Xuezhi went straight to the place where the crime occurred, Tang Huaian's desk.
Tang Huaian was lying on the desk when he was found. There were dark black old blood stains on the papers on the desk.
Yun Xuezhi explored carefully, not wanting to let go of any clues.
The remaining people, Liu Xinyan and Li Dong, saw the murder scene for the first time and were a little curious, so they also went over to observe.
Wu Dakui is looking for the spiritual weapon in the room, which is what interests him.
Only the eldest grandson looked like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, looking left and right. She just glanced at the desk where Tang Huaian died and then looked away, as if he had no interest.
On the contrary, when Changsun saw a portrait facing the desk, he seemed to be interested and walked forward to take a closer look.
This portrait depicts Tang Huaian. Tang Huaian is seen standing upright like an unsheathed sword. He holds a dark blue waist knife in his right hand and a sky blue jade pendant in his left hand. He perfectly combines heroism and nobility.
Look at Tang Huaian's moon-white robe, with light blue cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. The clothes complement the person and the person matches the clothes. There is also a jet black hosta on the top of the head...
etc……
Why does this hosta look familiar?
The eldest grandson tried hard to recall where he had seen the hosta. After a moment, an idea flashed through him. The eldest grandson remembered where he had seen the hosta, and his previous guess became a little firmer.
At this time, Yun Xuezhi had collected clues and was analyzing them.
"There are not too many traces of fighting in the study, which proves two points: First, the person who killed Tang Huaian was a master. Killing him with one blow did not give Tang Huaian a chance to resist. Tang Huaian is a magician and a mirror warrior. To do this, the opponent must The strength must be above the charioteer level."
Zhou Mi agreed to bring Yun Xuezhi into the crime scene.
With a hint of the intention of taking a test, when he heard Yun Xuezhi's analysis, he nodded in approval and said: "There are not many warriors with strength above the imperial realm in the imperial capital. Most of them are registered. We have already sent people to screen. These warriors."
Yun Xuezhi nodded, but still felt that it was too slow. There were not many warriors above the imperial capital warrior realm, but there were definitely many. It would take a few days to screen them all, not to mention those powerful warriors who were not from the imperial court. You can summon them if you say summons.
So Yun Xuezhi went on to say: "The second point, and the more critical point, is that this person must be someone Tang Huaian is familiar with, otherwise it would be impossible for him to quietly approach a martial artist in the martial arts realm with the doors and windows of the study closed. , and killed him without any warning!"
When Zhou Mi heard this, the way he looked at Yun Xuezhi was a little different. Being able to analyze this proved that Yun Xuezhi was not an idiot.
"Well, we have also narrowed down the screening scope based on this."
Zhou Mi responded.
"Is there any result?"
Yun Xuezhi asked with some expectation.
"not yet……"
Yun Xuezhi was not discouraged after receiving this reply. It can be seen that Dali Temple has only discovered these clues, and things involving warriors often become complicated and difficult to handle, so it is normal that there is no result yet.
"Killing with one blow, sealing the throat with a sword or a knife, the person must be an experienced sword or knife user, and the attack speed is extremely fast, so fast that Tang Huaian has no time to react..."
After listening to Yun Xuezhi's analysis, Wu Dakui also joined the think tank.
"To strike at such a fast speed, it must not be a heavy weapon. A sword is more likely to be used. We swordsmen in the Imperial City prefer to use wider or heavier swords..."
Zhou Mi looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise. Let alone whether this analysis was accurate or not, with this logic and divergent thinking, the two of them surpassed most of the patrolmen in Dali Temple.
But before they could continue their analysis, a voice suddenly joined them.
"How do you conclude that Tang Huaian died from a sword wound on his neck?"
Everyone looked at the speaker, who was the eldest grandson.
Changsun was seen standing directly in front of the desk, looking at the seat behind the desk, simulating the possible scene at the time of the crime.
Everyone looked at the pool of blood on the table, and then at the eldest grandson. The meaning in their eyes was: "Isn't this obvious?"
Changsun came back from his thoughts, saw everyone's gazes, changed his previous casual image, and said seriously: "It's very simple, if Tang Huaian really died from a sword sealing his throat, it must be blood. It took seven steps, but the blood stains at the scene were only limited to the desk, and didn't even splash out on the table."
As soon as Changsun said this, Zhou Mi, who had many years of experience in solving cases, felt like he was struck by lightning. Yun Xuezhi, who was thinking quickly on the other side, also immediately understood what Changsun meant.
Of course, there are still people present who don’t understand.
"What do you mean by this?"
Wu Dakui asked.
"What I mean is that Tang Huaian should have been dead before someone cut his throat with a sword. Only after someone slit his throat after death would the blood flow out like this."
Changsun pointed at the evenly shaped pool of blood and explained.
But Yun Xuezhi still disagreed and said, "If the murderer cuts his throat and pours sword energy or knife energy into Tang Huaian's body, instantly crushing his heart, the blood will also flow out like this."
Changsun and Zhou Mi nodded in unison. Yun Xuezhi was indeed thinking quickly.
But Tang Huaian's situation was obviously not what Yun Xuezhi said.
"If it's like what you said, then the trauma on Tang Huaian's neck will never be smooth, unless the master controls the sword energy or knife energy extremely condensed and precise... But why is it necessary?"
Changsun refuted Yun Xuezhi's point of view, and Yun Xuezhi also agreed with what Changsun said. If he is such a master, there is really no need to be so cautious.
However, Changsun still maintained an objective and cautious attitude, and continued: "Of course, even if the situation you mentioned is
There is a one in 10,000 possibility, and we should not let it go. So there is only one way to make sure we are right..."
"any solution?"
"Autopsy!"
As soon as Changsun said this, everyone looked at Zhou Mi in unison.
Everyone knows that although Yun Xuezhi is the chief prosecutor of this case, Tang Huaian's body is parked in Dali Temple. If you want to do an autopsy, it depends on what Dali Temple wants.
Zhou Mi was a little embarrassed. It was not difficult for him to bring them to Prince Huai's Mansion to see the crime scene, but it was a little difficult to take them to Dali Temple for an autopsy.
You must know that Tang Huaian's body was parked in Dali Temple, and no autopsy has been conducted yet. Otherwise, they should have grasped the clues mentioned by the eldest grandson, and they would not be like now, only after the eldest grandson brought it up did he wake up from a dream.
However, Dali Temple has not conducted an autopsy until now. On the one hand, the reason is that Dali Temple was passive and slow in this case, and on the other hand, King Huai has always disagreed with the autopsy.
Listening to the analysis of Changsun and Yun Xuezhi, Zhou Mi has completely recognized their abilities.
The most important thing is that Zhou Mi also heard the strangeness behind the case, which aroused his interest in the investigation, so he directly told everyone about the difficulties of the autopsy.
Everyone fell into silence after hearing this. Only Zhou Zhou, the highest-ranking official, was present. The rest were either fringe figures in the officialdom or ordinary people. It seemed impossible to influence Dali Temple and King Huai.
The grandson's brain was racing when he heard that the autopsy was an indispensable part of solving the case, so the two obstacles of Dali Temple and King Huai must be overcome.
"Since the autopsy cannot be carried out now, we can't waste time. Master Yun, you and my master will go back to the shop to study the spiritual weapon first; Master Liu and Master Li, you can't neglect the task of transforming the dragon chariot. You go and do this first. Well, if the shock absorber doesn’t fit properly, come back to the shop and see me.”...
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Zhou Mi looked at Changsun, "What about me?"
No one noticed that Wangcai, who seemed to be the youngest and most inexperienced, turned out to be the one giving orders.
However, after the case analysis just now, everyone seemed to agree with Changsun's ability, and they were not dissatisfied at all with his arrangements.
Changsun looked at Zhou Mi mysteriously.
"You accompany me to arrest someone tonight..."
