Zhao Xuanyi went over everything today in his mind, then slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and said softly
"You're careless!" The sky was slowly getting darker, and it was going to be dark soon. Zhao Xuanyi had been sitting here for about an hour, when there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and only a few figures were seen walking up slowly.
When Shen Wei saw these people, he hurriedly knelt down
"Greetings to the eldest princess!"
"Get up! Is Young Master Zhao in there?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"Yes! My young master has been waiting for you for an hour!" Zhu Yuejun smiled slightly. After opening the door, he saw Zhao Xuanyi sitting on a chair. When Zhao Xuanyi saw Zhu Yuejun, he stood up hurriedly and wanted to kneel down to salute. Zhao Xuanyi spoke directly.
"No need, I just came to you in the morning, and you come to me in the evening? Mr. Zhao is so smart, how can he find out the results so quickly?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at the four maids standing at the door, and Zhu Yuejun also understood what Zhao Xuanyi meant.
"You guys wait outside!"
"Yes!" The four girls closed the door and guarded the outside. Zhu Yuejun sat opposite Zhao Xuanyi
"Okay, now you have something to say!" Zhao Xuanyi sighed
"Eldest Princess, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer to this matter!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuejun frowned
"What does Mr. Zhao mean by this?"
"I have found out the cause of Zhou Bowen's death. I also understand how the sedan chair is natural, but I can't find out who did it!" Zhu Yuejun was very surprised.
"Did you find out how Zhou Bowen's sedan spontaneously ignited?"
"Yes!"
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Zhu Yuejun said hurriedly.
"Brother Shen, where are the things I asked you to buy?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Here!" Shen Wei opened the door and put a small bag of things on the table! Then go out and close the door.
The four maids outside were curious, what was inside? But before she could see clearly, Shen Wei closed the door and saw nothing.
Zhao Xuanyi placed a bag of things in front of Zhu Yuejun
"This is the thing that kills Zhou Bowen! It's so good to buy!" Zhu Yuejun stretched out his hand and slowly took it over. He opened the oil paper outside and saw white powder inside. He stuck a little with his fingers and took a closer look.
"This is not poison!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, how did this girl grow so big?
"This is quicklime! Forget it, I probably won't be able to explain it to you. I'll make it for you to see!" Zhao Xuanyi took out his handkerchief, poured a little quicklime with a spoon and put it in the handkerchief!
After wrapping it, place it in a tea cup, then take a few pieces of paper, tear them all into pieces, and turn them into paper velvet. Then pour some water into the tea cup and put the paper velvet on top.
When Zhu Yuejun saw Zhao Xuanyi's many operations, she was confused and confused.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh... you'll find out later!" Zhao Xuanyi whispered. After more than ten seconds, I saw a puff of white smoke suddenly coming out of the tea cup, and then I heard a small sound. Half a minute later, I saw the paper velvet on the tea cup burning instantly!
Zhu Yuejun was shocked when she saw it. She looked at the flames in the tea cup in disbelief. She really didn't know that quicklime and water could ignite paper!
When the maid outside saw the fire in the room, she thought there was danger, opened the door and rushed in.
"Elder Princess, are you okay?" Zhu Yuejun looked at the maids who rushed in, with a look of anger on his face.
"Get out, who asked you to come in?" When the maids saw the flames in the tea cups, they all didn't know what was going on. However, they heard Zhu Yuejun's order clearly, and they all walked out of the room and closed the door!
All the paper inside the tea cup was burned away, leaving only a black paper ashes.
"It rained heavily last night. Zhou Bowen secretly threw lime packets into the sedan chair he was riding in. The quicklime started to heat up when it came into contact with water, and he finally gave up the sedan chair!"
"That's it? How can such a small thing light up such a big sedan? I heard that the fire will shoot up to you, and the fire will be very powerful!" Zhu Yuejun said.
"That's because of tung oil!" Zhu Yuejun looked at Zhao Xuanyi in surprise
"Tung oil? Where did you get the tung oil?" Zhao Xuanyi continued
"Today I went to the crime scene with Wang Heming, but we didn't find any useful information. When I asked Wang Heming where Zhou Bowen had gone, he took me to a small temple not far from the crime scene. As soon as we arrived at the meeting at the door, I realized something was wrong!”
"There was a shallow layer of tung oil floating on the muddy ground. No matter how hard it rained, there would still be some tung oil left. But because it was dark and it was still raining, they couldn't see clearly what was on the ground when they put the sedan down. What, even if there is tung oil, it will be regarded as rain!"
"As a result, the bottom of the sedan was stained with tung oil. When Zhou Bowen got off the sedan and walked, his feet were also stained with tung oil. When he came back, because it was dark, he couldn't see what was inside the sedan, or the murderer used lime with black paint. It’s wrapped in cloth, so you can’t even see it!”
"The lime bag triggered a small flame, which directly ignited Zhou Bowen, and then the entire sedan. The fire with tung oil was not afraid of the rain. Zhou Bowen still had tung oil on his body, so he was burned alive! Today I Lime powder has been found on the remains of the sedan, and Wang Heming has kept it! You can ask someone to investigate!" After Zhu Yuejun heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She took the tea cup and drank it. After taking a sip of water, he spoke
"You found so much today?"
"almost!"
"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Zhao Xuanyi shook his head
"I'm not sure. Among the four bearers at that time, the personal bodyguards must have been by Zhou Bowen's side. Even when he entered the temple, the sedan was only guarded by these four bearers at this time. Others wanted to steal the lime without anyone noticing. It’s impossible to put the bag in!”
"Isn't it easy to investigate? Do you want to continue?" Zhu Yuejun said hurriedly. Zhao Xuanyi smiled and looked at Zhu Yuejun helplessly.
"We just started investigating the bearer. We just suspected a person and asked our subordinates to interrogate him. As a result, the bearer committed suicide!"
"Suicide? Such a coincidence?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"Of course it can't be such a coincidence. It was a homicide! Although it looks like he hanged himself, this is impossible! Have you seen the cell in Dali Temple?" Zhu Yuejun nodded.
"It's those wooden cells, I've seen them before!"
"When the bearer died, he used his belt to pass through the wooden stake above and then hanged himself. However, the cell in Dali Temple is more than ten feet high from the ground. Even if you step on a stool, you can't reach it. How did he do it? Who wrapped the rope around the wooden stake?" Zhu Yuejun thought for a while
"Thrown out?"
"Impossible. I saw that rope. It only went around one wooden stake. How could it be such a coincidence? The rope was thrown with all its strength, how could it only go around one wooden stake?"
"Is he the one who climbed up? He tied the rope and jumped down?" Zhao Xuanyi shook his head.
"That's not right. I've seen his hands. They are very clean. There is nothing between the nails, not even a speck of dust or sawdust. There is no dust on him, so it proves that he has never climbed up at all, and he Your hands are so clean!”
"And after a hanged person is hung, he will instinctively grab the rope with his hands. The feeling is not pleasant at all. Usually there will be some residue in his nails, but his hands are too clean, so he must have committed suicide!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuejun also understood what Zhao Xuanyi meant.
"These people actually reached into Dali Temple?"
"He was killed, so in order to prevent the real murderer from noticing, I walked out of Dali Temple without checking inside. I was afraid that these people would know my thoughts first and kill the real murderer! And I I’ve already asked Zhou Qihua!”
"His father doesn't believe in Buddhism at all, and no one in his family believes in Buddhism or worships it. This means that Zhou Bowen went to the temple for something else! As for what it is, I don't know, but Zhou Bowen is busy with something right now. Well, that’s the emperor’s birthday!”
"Eldest Princess, you hid something from me and didn't tell me everything!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun with sharp eyes!
When Zhu Yuejun saw Zhao Xuanyi's eyes, her expression was a little unnatural. She didn't expect that Zhao Xuanyi could find so much in one day. Zhu Yuejun instinctively swallowed.
"Mr. Zhao, actually I...?" Before Zhu Yuejun could finish speaking, Zhao Xuanyi reached out to stop Zhu Yuejun.
"Princess, this matter is too big. I am not from Dali Temple or Yamen, so I don't plan to investigate anymore! I already feel the danger. This matter has nothing to do with me, so I don't want to mess with it. Trouble!" Zhu Yuejun was very angry when he heard what Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Are you scared?"
"That's right! Isn't it normal for me to be afraid? Could it be that in the eyes of my eldest princess, I am a person who is not afraid of anything? That would really let you down. I only have one life. I still have many things to do. This matter It’s too dangerous, and there’s no need for me to take the risk!”
"Even if I risk my life to get to the end of the investigation, I will definitely find someone who I can't kill. I won't benefit at all, so why bother? Is it possible to let this person know that I have found him, but I can't kill him yet?" , but to prevent this person from assassinating me every day? Sorry, I really don’t have this hobby!" Zhao Xuanyi said very seriously.
Zhu Yuejun took a deep breath and didn't know how to persuade Zhao Xuanyi, because Zhu Yuejun also knew the danger of this matter. While Zhu Yuejun was thinking, Zhao Xuanyi spoke again.
"I have told you, the eldest princess, all the clues to the matter and the results I found. If there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up and left after saying that.
"Wait a minute...?"
"By the way, I'm sending you a piece of news for free, Princess. When I was checking this matter today, it reminded me of another thing. Does Princess remember Guo Da?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Doctor Hubu!" Zhu Yuejun said.
"Yes, that's the one who died in Zuichun Tower. I always feel that the deaths of these two people are not such a coincidence. If you are interested, you can check it out!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he opened the door and left before Zhu Yuejun could speak. .
Shen Wei drove the carriage away from the teahouse. It was very peaceful along the way. It was still raining. No one knew when it would clear up. The accumulated rainwater was very smooth inside. The carriage kept pressing the water on the road, making a burst of noise. The special sound is like the sound of a knife chopping a watermelon!
After the carriage came to a dark street, Shen Wei suddenly felt very bad. He pulled the reins, stood up, and slowly took out the steel knife from his waist.
"Who is it? Stop being sneaky and come out!" Shen Wei shouted loudly. I saw two people in black night clothes walking out of a dark street corner. They were covered in black gauze and couldn't see what they looked like. With lightning and thunder, all I could see was their murderous eyes!
Shen Wei smiled coldly
"Since when have there been so many killers in the capital? Is this still under the emperor's feet?" One of the men in black spoke, with a strong man's voice
"I just came here to say hello today and tell your young master not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you won't be so polite next time!" After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi, who was sitting in the carriage, sneered.
"A threat so polite? I got it!"
"Master Zhao, take care of yourself!" After the two of them finished speaking, they turned around and slowly retreated into the night. But in the next second, they saw the flash of swords and swords in the night, and after several sounds of weapons clashing, a scream was heard. !
Shen Wei sat down, flicked the reins, and the carriage slowly came over. When he got closer, he saw that four moon guards had captured the two men. One was dead and the other was still alive!
"Mr. Zhao, you are right, they really took action!" said a Moon Guard. Zhao Xuanyi did not open the curtain and asked directly
"Who is your master?"
"You think I'm going to say that?" As soon as the man finished speaking, he immediately bit the poison in his mouth and his eyes were lifeless!
When Yue Wei saw it, he was dumbfounded and his work was in vain.
"this……?"
"Guessed it! Go back and tell the eldest princess that I don't want to continue investigating this matter. Let her investigate it by herself. I don't have her identity that no one dares to kill! Go home!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes!" Shen Wei shook the reins, and the carriage slowly left the street and walked towards Piaoyun Pavilion.
