Shen Hao has his own set of investigation methods, many of which he learned in another world. They can be applied if copied, and they are very different from the investigative practices of this world.
Shen Hao likes deductions, but his deductions need to have certain factual situations that have already occurred as the basis for the deduction, rather than relying entirely on fantasy.
Xue Gui, the Major Case Department, summoned all the investigation experts under the Yamen of the Criminal Department and found nothing. Shen Hao relied on the front-line intelligence analysis of the deacons of the royal ancestral hall many times, but also made no progress.
The difficulty faced by Shen Hao was the same as that faced by Xue Gui: the cause of death was found, but the murder method and clues were completely unclear.
But unlike Xue Gui, Shen Hao had more information. He held Heishui and knew the news about Yang Wenguang. He also knew about the dirty relationship between Yueying Tower and Ling Wang. He analyzed it from another aspect and came to the conclusion basically It was certain that Yang Wenguang was very likely to start a fire in order to burn King Ling, and the dead King Lu was just an unlucky guy who happened to be the right one.
However, the emperor's attitude left Shen Hao wondering. Did he really want Yang Wenguang to treat Yang Wenguang as a temporary difficulty in the "big test" and turn a blind eye? Or does the emperor have other plans?
However, Jiang Cheng had come to inquire about the case several times during this period, and clearly stated in his private message that Shen Hao should do his best to dig out the truth of the case, and that the strange talisman master who could murder people with compassion could not be kept. Of course, if the case can be solved, even if it is solved secretly, it will be a great achievement and will be very helpful to Shen Hao's future resume.
Don't pay attention to Yang Wenguang, but care about the talisman master who can "integrate skills into words"? This... To be honest, Shen Hao didn't quite understand.
But an order is an order. Since Jiang Cheng used the term "try your best", he didn't want the case to be buried like this. He dug out the talisman master and had a look at his method of "merging skills with words" Xuan Qingwei If you can master it, it’s a big achievement, right?
I have repeatedly analyzed the case sent to me by the steward of the royal ancestral hall more than ten times, and the breaking point is that I can't find any carrier that can cast the "melting technique into words" or the "nine techniques of soul-dispelling curse".
Shen Hao even suspected that the royal family's internal guard was lying, so he interfered and killed King Lu. But in the end, this idea was rejected when reported, saying that the royal ancestral hall had already reviewed it, and there was no problem with the internal guards guarding King Lu.
Now at the headquarters of the Black Flag Camp Commander's Office in Fengri City, Shen Hao had someone build a pavilion and plant some flowers and plants. The pavilion was also filled with wine and food and a dummy lying on a stone table as a corpse.
This is Shen Hao's last resort now: going back to the scene.
The fact that it can be simulated like this is all due to the deacon of the royal ancestral hall. I sent over a dozen drawings and added text descriptions to basically restore the scene of King Lu's death.
But after the scene was restored, Shen Hao still found nothing. He had been wandering around the temporary pavilion for a long time, his brows furrowed, and he felt as if his train of thought had reached a dead end.
"Could it be that something was wrong from the beginning?" Faced with such a dilemma, Shen Hao couldn't help but begin to doubt his previous judgment.
As soon as he raised his hand, the dummy was blown out of the pavilion by Shen Hao's energy, and then Shen Hao sat in the position of the previous dummy.
King Lu must have been sitting like this at that time. It was night, and the moonlight was beautiful. King Lu must have been depressed because he was being blamed. He drank wine while looking at the moonlight...
While imagining every possible action King Lu could take before his death, he followed it. Pick up food, pour wine...
"Well..." Shen Hao took a sip of the wine on the table, and his thoughts were interrupted subconsciously. The main reason was that after I was used to drinking Wuliangye, I felt that the fruit wine on the table tasted very strange. It had a light wine taste, but the fruity aroma and sweetness were very strong. It didn't taste like wine at all.
This emotional interruption made Shen Hao break away from the state of putting himself in his shoes. He frowned a little and secretly thought that drinking would make things worse. Then he put down the wine bottle in his hand. Just then, Shen Hao seemed to realize something. His expression suddenly froze, and a series of strange looks flashed in his eyes.
"This jug...come here! Get those paintings from before, quickly!"
The bodyguards under his command quickly responded and ran to find out the dozen or so rubbings of the portraits that had been passed on before and presented them to Shen Hao.
They were all on-site portraits sent to the steward from the royal ancestral hall. The crime scene was drawn from all directions and angles, and the sky at the time was even painted on it, which was very detailed.
Shen Hao quickly pulled out a few of the portraits from the pile, all of which depicted scenes in the pavilion, including the clear location of King Lu's corpse at that time.
However, Shen Hao's eyes swept back and forth across several paintings on the stone table.
"There's something wrong with this jug!" The jug was the same as the one in the painting, but the more it looked like this, the more it made Shen Hao feel that something was wrong.
There are very few wineries in this world that sell wine in small bottles. Or it's in bulk, sealed in a big wine vat, and you can get as much as you want. Bring your own wine bottles. Either the wine shop has a well-stocked cellar and sells it by the jar. Small ones weigh five or six kilograms per jar, and large ones weigh more than ten, twenty, or even fifty kilograms.
How do ordinary people drink the wine they buy? Most people buy it in bulk. They have a wine pot at home, pour it into the wine pot and serve it on the table. After all, it is difficult to pour wine into a large container, so a small-mouthed flask is a must-have for most people to drink.
Those who are a little more particular, or those with a distinguished status like King Lu, will be even more particular about the wine pot and wine utensils. I've seen the wine utensils set by the Spirit King before. From the pot to the cup, they are all magical objects, and they are so luxurious that they are staggering.
Then the question comes, why is the wine pot placed on the stone table in King Lu's pavilion an ordinary small celadon pot? Even the bowls and chopsticks in the palace are inlaid with jade. Is the wine bottle so casual? And now that Shen Hao thought about it, it was not the first time he had seen the same hip flask.
"Where did this wine bottle come from?" Shen Hao called his personal guards to ask. Because the decoration of this simulated scene was made by the people below according to the drawings, and all the objects were made by the hands of the guards.
The guard who handed over the portrait had not yet walked away. Hearing Shen Hao's question, he bowed and answered, "Sir, the wine bottle was bought from the Wangjia Liquor Shop in the Xicheng District of the Imperial City."
"Wang's liquor store?"
"Yes, sir, your instructions must be exactly as in the picture. The dishes and wine on the table are all prepared according to the picture. This kind of wine pot is specially used by Wangjia Liquor Shop to hold their signature fruit wine. Don't You can't buy it anywhere." The guard's mind was very lively. As soon as Shen Hao mentioned it, he knew exactly what his master wanted to know, so he quickly told everything he knew.
Shen Hao picked up the wine pot again and looked at it carefully: it was less than a foot tall, thick at the bottom and thin at the top. The whole body was blue and white with bright yellow embellishments. The mouth of the wine pot had a small mouth for easy pouring.
The wine flask has no stopper, should it be sealed with mud?
"Are there any unopened ones?"
"Also, I bought five pots before, but now there are three pots left unopened. Please wait a moment, sir. I will get them right away."
