Lingyue looked at the various instruments of torture around her, feeling unbearable fear in her heart. Her fragile appearance made people want to love her even more.
This time, the eldest grandson did not "feel pity for the beauty" and asked in a cold tone: "Lingyue, do you know your guilt?"
Upon hearing this, Lingyue immediately fell to her knees in fright, "Sir... I don't know what crime I have committed..."
However, the eldest grandson didn't listen to Lingyue's words at all. His voice did not fluctuate at all, like a cold machine.
"Lingyue, you were responsible for serving the North Study on September 10th. At night, you saw that Tang Huaian had not rested yet, so you went to serve him tea and incense. Am I right?"
Lingyue looked down at the ground, her body trembling a little, and she didn't dare to look up at her eldest grandson.
"answer my question!"
Lingyue was frightened and trembled, "Yes...yes."
"Okay! Then let me ask you, what kind of tea did you serve Tang Huaian?"
"Yes...it's Wulan scented tea...That's the tea that the master gave to the young prince. The master said that this is a scented tea from the Western Regions. It has a unique taste. He specially asked me to bring some to the young prince..."
"I just asked you what kind of tea you served, but you explained so much to me... What are you feeling guilty about..."
Lingyue's body stiffened and her voice was unnatural.
"Sir... Your Majesty, I just thought that Your Majesty would ask these questions next, and I have no guilty conscience..."
Changsun's eyes narrowed, sending out a danger signal.
"Then how do you know that the combination of dipterocarps and orchids will cause warriors to lose their ability to move instantly?"
"Sir, I don't know what you mean."
Changsun picked up the red-hot iron. In the dark interrogation room, red light illuminated Changsun's face.
"Then I'll help you think about it..."
"Come here, torture me!"
After Changsun finished speaking, the iron door of the interrogation room opened, and several police officers came in, hung up Lingyue directly, and began to torture her.
"My lord, this is unfair, my lord, I don't know anything..."
Changsun's face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in his eyes. He turned around and walked out of the interrogation room. Lingyue's painful howl came from the iron door.
Yun Xuezhi looked at the eldest grandson who came out, frowned, and expressed some dissatisfaction with his torture.
"Wangcai, are you planning to surrender?"
There was Zhou Mi beside him, but he was used to such scenes and showed no expression at all.
The eldest grandson looked at Yun Xuezhi with a smile but not a smile, "It's good to be able to surrender and fight. The emperor will have an explanation."
"Nonsense! Am I the kind of person who wrongly accuses innocent people?"
"Then do you think Lingyue is innocent?"
"Lingyue...".
Yun Xuezhi just wanted to refute Changsun, but found that all the clues they found in the past two days pointed to Lingyue.
"No matter what happens, you can't give in to a fight... Didn't you also say that everything depends on evidence!"
Changsun looked at Yun Xuezhi with a smile, feeling that he had changed in the past two days.
In the last dream, Changsun watched Yun Xuezhi's analysis of the case and could clearly feel that he had a sharp mind, but he believed too much in intuition and lacked evidence for his reasoning about the case.
Changsun smiled and did not intend to continue teasing Yun Xuezhi.
But before Changsun could speak, Zhou Mi said first: "Wangcai, do you have a deep meaning in this move? I saw that the policemen used punishment in a measured way, and they didn't use any severe punishment. Looking at the tragic scene, in fact, it was just for Ling Yue to suffer. Some physical pain."
As expected of a veteran, he could tell at a glance.
Changsun secretly appreciated it in his heart, and then said: "The policeman who has been watching Ling Yue for the past two days told me that after our interrogation at Prince Huai's Mansion, Ling Yue met with Tang Huaide."
Zhou Mi nodded, his subordinates had reported this matter to him.
"Do you suspect that Tang Huaide and Lingyue are colluding?"
"This is basically certain. It is very simple to get Lingyue to plead guilty. Through interrogation, it can be seen that she is just a simple maid. The reason why she still refuses to let go is probably Tang Huaide's instruction."
"Then what are you going to do, really?
Let Ling Yue bend into a trick? Zhou Mi asked.
Changsun shook his head, "If that happens, Tang Huaide will definitely put all the blame on Lingyue. This is not the result I want."
"Okay, let's all go back. Tang Huaide will be summoned for interrogation tomorrow." Changsun said.
Before Zhou Mi left, he looked hesitantly at Ling Yue, who was still being tortured, "Isn't it inappropriate to torture the people of Prince Huai's Mansion like this?"
"It's okay. Now King Huai doesn't dare to provoke us again. After all, we have this in our hands." The eldest grandson held up the spiritual weapon of the deceased family in his hand, then seemed to remember something, turned around and said to Yun Xuezhi.
"By the way, you still have to report the matter to the Holy Spirit about the spiritual weapons of the deceased clan. As for how to say it, just say it as you thought before."
Yun Xuezhi was stunned for a moment, what did he think before, and how did he know?
After returning to Bailian Steel, Changsun and Wu Dakui discussed the progress of the dragon chariot's transformation.
Although the renovation of the dragon chariot was Liu Xinyan's job and seemed to have nothing to do with the Tang Huaian case, the eldest grandson always had a hunch that the renovation of the dragon chariot was equally important.
Now that the transformation of the dragon carriage is basically completed, Wu Dakui used the shock absorber designed by Changsun on the frame of the dragon carriage. At the same time, Yun Xuezhi also added the flying carpet from the first dream in the carriage.
The combined effect of the two is even better than that of the suspended bridge array.
This also makes Wu Dakui very motivated. This is an innovation that surpasses the old things. The most important thing is that compared with the suspension bridge array, the shock absorber is much lower in cost and difficulty.
After understanding the progress of the shock absorber, Changsun returned to the room and thought about the progress of the Tang Huaian case again. Now Changsun has a basic guess about the course of the case.
First, through the interrogation of the servants in Prince Huai's Mansion yesterday, Changsun came to the conclusion that Tang Huaian was interested in Lingyue, and Lingyue had an affair with Tang Huaide.
So Changsun guessed that Tang Huaide took advantage of this and instigated Lingyue to poison Tang Huaian and then committed the murder.
As for who killed Tang Huaian in the end, this was also one of the purposes of Changsun's torture of Lingyue.
If Lingyue was just a weak woman without the strength to bind a chicken, she would not be able to kill Tang Huaian from the back of his head with a hosta.
Using torture can tell whether Lingyue is a weak woman from the side.
At the same time, Changsun tortured Lingyue just to scare Tang Huaide.
At this time, Tang Huaide and Lingyue were angry, and they had already prepared themselves mentally. Interrogating him directly would lead to nothing, so what Changsun had to do now was to break through Tang Huaide's psychological defenses, and torturing Lingyue was the first step. .
After going over the case, Changsun still has the biggest doubt. Where did this spiritual weapon of the deceased family come from?
The eldest grandson still can’t figure out why this spiritual weapon appeared at the crime scene.
Yun Xuezhi and the others didn't know it yet, but Changsun knew about this spiritual weapon. It was not just a simple spiritual weapon of the deceased clan, but also a spiritual object space specially designed to seal spiritual objects.
Such a spiritual weapon can even be called precious. How could it appear at the crime scene for no reason?
At this time, Changsun thought of the "game" mentioned by Yun Xuezhi in the last dream...
Changsun, who couldn't figure it out, decided to put this doubt aside for now. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that there was something missing, so he got up and went to another room.
It was Chen Tian who was locked up in the room. After the eldest grandson entered, he told Chen Tian that Tang Huaide went to Dali Temple to report the crime.
Sure enough, this news directly aroused Chen Tian's brainstorm.
When Chen Tianru had the last dream, he repeatedly thought about why Tang Huaide went to Dali Temple to report the crime because of some property, and was directly involved in Tang Huaian's murder case.
Only now did Chen Tian understand what Changsun meant by "keeping you alive" when he caught him. It turned out that this was exactly what he was referring to.
Now the key to his own survival has become whether the Tang Huaian case can be solved smoothly. Changsun is directly involved in the case, doesn't he control his life and death?
Chen Tian looked at his eldest grandson with cold sweat on his forehead. At this time, his eldest grandson was like a god in his eyes.
From the time he was inexplicably caught by the eldest grandson until now, everything that happened seemed to be under the control of the eldest grandson.
"Have you figured it all out?" Changsun looked at Chen Tian with a smile, but Chen Tian was so scared that he trembled.
Then Changsun released Chen Tian and arranged for him to go to Tang Huaide's other courtyard again.
Jiu'er will go to Tang Huaide's villa tonight, and the eldest grandson of course knows about the conversation between the two.
The reason why Changsun arranged for Chen Tian to go was actually to prevent Zhou Mi and Yun Xuezhi from doubting him.
The next day, Changsun returned to the interrogation room of Dali Temple and glanced at Lingyue first. At this time, the weak girl was huddled in the corner. The blood stains oozing from her clothes proved that she had endured a heavy punishment yesterday.
At this moment, Changsun turned into a devil in Lingyue's heart.
Changsun's face was expressionless. Seeing Lingyue's state, he knew that the policeman's punishment yesterday was just right.
In the interrogation room, Changsun just sat on the chair and did not interrogate.
This deathly silence made Lingyue tortured. Just when she was about to be unable to bear the pressure and was about to let go, the iron door of the interrogation room opened again.
It was Tang Huaide who walked into the interrogation room.
Tang Huaide's face was uncertain. Why was he summoned by Dali Temple? And now he is entering an interrogation room!
When the eldest grandson faced a member of the royal family, his expression remained unchanged, still cold as if without any emotion.
Tang Huaide, who was already confused, couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he saw the miserable Ling Yue in the corner.
When Lingyue saw Tang Huaide, she seemed to have seen a savior. She struggled to stand up and rush forward, but Tang Huaide decisively turned her head away in the next second.
That determination seemed to want to distance itself from itself.
At this time, Lingyue remembered Tang Huaide's previous instructions, so she huddled back under the gaze of her eldest grandson.
Tang Huaide regained his composure, looked at the plain-looking man in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Are you going to interrogate me as a prisoner?"
Since Changsun had kept Lingyue, he had no intention of deceiving Tang Huaide from the very beginning.
"Tang Huaide, I suspect that you are related to the murder of Tang Huaian. Now I have a few questions for you. Please answer them truthfully!"
Tang Huaide dismissed it.
"Tang Huaide, where were you on the evening of September 10th?"
"Of course it's in the palace's bedroom."
"Is there anyone who can testify?"
"All the servants can testify."
"I interrogated the servants of the palace one by one, and they all said that they have not seen you since Haishi on the 10th."
"I drank some wine and felt tired, so I went back to my room to rest early. Why not?"
Changsun did not struggle with this issue, as long as Tang Huaide could not prove that he was not present when the crime occurred.
"Let me ask you again, have you ever been jealous that Tang Huai'an got the job of preparing for the Autumn Hunting and was appreciated by King Huai?"
"No."
"Then why did you instruct Ling Yue to poison and murder Tang Huaian?!"
When Tang Huaide heard this, his expression became even more disdainful. He thought there would be some conclusive evidence, but now it seems that the other party is just making groundless speculation.
This won't scare him!
"Do you have any evidence?"
The eldest grandson did not respond.
Tang Huaide immediately got up and said aggressively: "You doubt a royal family member without any evidence. You are so bold!"
Changsun's expression looked like he was watching a clown.
"You want evidence, then let's talk about evidence..."
"I found a special kind of flower petals in the tea cup in the North Study Room. This flower is called Wulanhua. Does the prince know?"
As soon as the eldest grandson said these words, Tang Huaide's previous aura disappeared, and his expression became uncertain again.
"Of course the prince knows, because this scented tea was presented to King Huai by you, and then given to Tang Huai'an by King Huai."
Tang Huaide pretended to be calm, "This scented tea is indeed dedicated to my father. I...I also got some by chance.
Now that the taste is unique, I want to offer it to my father. What’s wrong with that? "
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Then why does the prince's courtyard in Shunfeng District have a garden of orchid flowers?"
Tang Huaide began to panic. He knew very few people in the other courtyard in Shunfeng District.
In order not to let anyone know, he didn't even dispatch guards from the palace, but only hired a concierge from outside.
The eldest grandson continued: "Your Majesty likes Wulanhua so much, doesn't he know that Wulanhua and dipterocarp combined can instantly paralyze a magician and mirror warrior?"
When Tang Huaide heard this, he immediately pretended to be stupid, "What are you talking about? I just like Wulanhua. I don't know anything about what you said."
The mouth is quite tough.
"A few days ago, I heard that the Crown Prince's house was robbed. Is there anything important missing?"
Tang Huaide smiled dryly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Tang Huaian's case, so I won't bother you."
grown ups?
The eldest grandson sneered in his heart, this Tang Huaide was already starting to feel guilty.
"Oh? Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have forgotten that it was you who reported that the thief was a survivor and was related to the murderer of Tang Huaian!"
"Um...that's what I said..."
"How do you know that Tang Huaian's case is related to the bereaved family?!"
"Because of……"
Tang Huaide suddenly stopped talking, knowing that he had almost spilled the beans. At the same time, he realized that his excuse for reporting the crime seemed to have been exposed.
But how could Changsun give him time to react?
"I don't dare to say it anymore, so let me help you say it. It's because of this, right!"
The eldest grandson threw the family's spiritual weapon in front of Tang Huaide.
"My Lord Yun retrieved this spiritual weapon from the scene of the crime. It was not until yesterday that we found out that it is a spiritual weapon belonging to a bereaved family. How did you know that?!"
"I...I don't know..."
"Then how do you know that Tang Huaian's case is related to the surviving family members!"
Tang Huaide froze in place. Now he finally knew where he had exposed his flaws.
But it's too late.
