Three unopened bottles of Baiguo Liquor were quickly delivered to Shen Hao and placed in a row on the stone table in the pavilion. The one in Shen Hao's hand was the one that had been restored after being opened. .
The wine pots all look the same. Although there are some subtle differences in the patterns on them, they should all be fired in the same way.
However, there is still a difference between the pot in Shen Hao's hand and the three pots placed on the table. The reason is that the mouths of the three pots on the table are sealed with mud, while the pot in Shen Hao's hand is not. mud.
I just asked the personal guards, and they removed the sealing mud in order to restore the appearance of the painting. Because the wine bottle in the painting is not sealed with mud and is open.
Shen Hao looked at it for a while, then reached out to pick up an unopened pot of fruit wine, pinched the spout and twisted it slightly, and the sealing mud on the spout broke, revealing a layer of sealing paper inside. The sealing paper is the barrier between the sealing mud and the internal space of the wine bottle. With this layer of sealing paper, when you twist the sealing mud, you will not worry about the mud fragments falling into the wine pot and affecting the taste. All wine sets with sealing mud are made in this way, and there will be a layer of sealing paper inside.
"Wangjiapu Baiguo Wine will give you endless aftertaste!" This sentence was written on the red cover paper.
It's advertising, to make your business famous.
I opened three bottles of wine on the table in succession. They all had seals, and the seals also had this sentence. Shen Hao flattened the three seals he got after opening them on the table. After careful observation, he found that the handwriting on the seals were all mimeographed. The handwriting was exactly the same, but there were some differences in the weight of the mimeograph.
After looking at the three seals in his hand for a while, Shen Hao took out the Qianli Note with the deacon of the royal ancestral hall from the storage bag in his arms, and then sent a message: Please be sure to check the drink when King Lu died. Is the seal of the bottle of fruit wine still there? urgent.
Although the distance between the Imperial City and Fengli City is far, it is still within the communication range of Qianli Yin, so the communication between the two sides is almost real-time.
After more than ten breaths, Shen Hao received the first reply: Please wait, it is being verified.
This wait lasted for an hour, which made Shen Hao secretly have some thoughts. After all, if there is no problem, it would be impossible to spend such a long time without hearing anything. There is only one possibility like this, and that is the pot of wine that King Lu drank before he died. There's something wrong with the seal.
When the thousand-mile note vibrated again, he unfolded it and found that, as expected by Shen Hao, there was something wrong.
According to what the deacon at the Imperial Ancestral Hall said, there is something special about drinking Baiguo Liquor, which is to first smell its aroma, secondly taste its taste, and thirdly enjoy its charm. King Lu has always had a special liking for Baiguo wine. He has always been very particular about opening and tasting wine. He usually does it himself rather than pretending to others.
Therefore, according to people's memories, the pot of wine must have been unopened when it was brought to King Lu. King Lu drank it himself after opening it.
The problem was that after repeated verification, the deacon of the royal ancestral hall only found the broken clay seal on the ground at the scene, but did not find the seal that should have been left at the scene. And there was no mud in the wine pot.
There was no sealing mud spilled in the jug, indicating that the jug was protected by sealing paper when it was opened. There was only mud sealing but no sealing paper at the scene... Where did the sealing paper go?
Shen Hao put away the Thousand Miles of Musical Notes in his hand and sat on the stone bench for a long time. While thinking about it, he took a pot of fruit wine and drank it as sweet water.
Why does the seal disappear? Is it King Lu who is hiding? Not too possible. Did the seal disappear on its own?
Under what circumstances will paper disappear on its own? This is not nonsense... maybe...
Turning his hand, Shen Hao had an extra talisman in his hand, which was the most common qi-concentrating talisman. Its purpose is to restrain aura and mana fluctuations, and is generally used when hiding.
With a thought in his mind, the Qi Condensing Talisman in his hand was used, and instantly formed an invisible barrier on Shen Hao's body. Then, because it lost the activation of the spell, it turned into fly ash and scattered everywhere. On the ground, if the wind blows a little, it will be hard to find.
After moving his feet, the handful of fly ash that turned into Qi Condensing Talisman on the ground disappeared, while the corners of Shen Hao's mouth curved upward.
I didn't expect to find a breakthrough in this small detail.
Someone changed the paper used as the seal in Wangjia Liquor Shop, and then sent the baguo with the changed paper to Prince Lu's Mansion. Just when King Lu turned on the wine pot, he had already fallen into the murderer's murderous intention.
Talisman Master, Shen Hao now really lamented that he had underestimated the skills here before. Everyone thought that the Talisman Master was just a tool for drawing talismans. Now it seems that a powerful Talisman Master's tricks are beyond his imagination. Just killing people is hard to guard against, and each link can lead you to the right direction. Totally wrong direction.
"Let's go to the Imperial City."
After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Hao called his guards and went straight out of the Yamen, passed the teleportation circle to the imperial city, and went to Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen to see Jiang Cheng.
It was almost time to leave for work, and I saw Jiang Cheng preparing to leave.
"Sit down, what's so urgent? Integration matters?" Jiang Cheng pointed to the chair in front of him and asked Shen Hao to sit down.
"Sir, the integration matters are going very smoothly at the moment. Many of the thorns have been sorted out. When I have more time in my hands, I will play the role of leading the Yamen according to the strategy. This time, my subordinates came here because of King Lu's case. .”
Jiang Cheng hummed, became interested, and said quickly: "Any clues?"
Recently, the wind direction in the imperial city has been blowing towards the Spirit King. Almost all the clans and forces are gathering strength. Once any prince takes the lead, they will definitely form a joint force, and then the Spirit King will be in a situation of life and death.
And the truth of the case seems less and less important. But Jiang Cheng understood that no one cared about the truth of the case, but many people wanted to know who the murderer was. After all, no one wants to be killed at home without any explanation.
"Yes, sir, we have a clue." Shen Hao quickly told all his new discoveries and speculations based on them, which made Jiang Cheng frown.
"So there were actually some mistakes in Gan Wang's case before I came here?"
"Yes, sir, the wine that King Qian drank in prison was also this kind of "Wang's Liquor Shop Baiguo Liquor". There was also no sealing paper, and the sealing mud on the ground was broken and he didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now it seems that the other party led him by the nose. ." Shen Hao was not shy about his mistakes. Besides, the previous ones were just deductions and not a summary of the case, so they were not considered big mistakes. The key thing is that the murderer will not be let go this time.
Jiang Cheng did not dwell too much on the previous matters. As Shen Hao expected, those in the Gan Wang case were all deductions. Some deviations would not lead to serious mistakes. The key was this time. So Jiang Cheng said: "After you finish talking, what do you plan to do next?"
"My subordinates would like to request an order to allow the Jingxi Black Flag Battalion Commander's Yamen to formally investigate the case."
