Chapter 481 Confrontation 1
Su Luo didn't change his expression and his heartbeat: "I arrived early today and sat down in this palace. I felt that it was too stuffy, so I took my maidservant out for a walk. I'm not afraid of your jokes. This palace is beautifully built, with snow scenes The lanterns set off each other and are extremely beautiful, which is rarely seen in our southern border. I was greedy for the scenery, so I went around the imperial garden in a big circle! There should be many guards who have seen me!"

She paused, "When the murder happened, I should probably be in Tongque Terrace. After visiting Tongque Terrace, I happened to pass by Concubine Gao's palace. The maid next to Concubine Gao saw me, so I went in to greet the concubine. , said a few words, and later saw that it was getting late, so I came to the banquet with the imperial concubine, and I didn't know until Cuiwei Pavilion that such a tragedy happened!"

The maids next to Concubine Gao came out: "Duke Qi's Madam, it is true that around half an hour ago, the servants passed by the gate of our palace with the servants. At that time, the servants were worried that the concubine and empresses should not miss the dinner, so they were staring at the hourglass."

That's why he remembered the time when Su Luo appeared so accurately.

Su Luo smiled: "Master Liu, from the incident to my discovery, there should be only half a stick of incense time in between. I can't rush from Cuiwei Pavilion to Concubine Gao's Palace as if nothing had happened!"

The queen sneered: "Maybe you two collude, you come to murder, the imperial concubine will help you cover it up?"

Concubine Gao quickly prostrated herself: "Empress, you can't talk nonsense. I have no grievances with Yunrou and Baizhi. They are very good. Why harm them?"

Yue Huang patted down the table: "Okay, it's you who decide the case or Mr. Liu, don't open your mouth until you're asked!"

Liu Gongyun's eyes that seemed to see through everything took a deep look at Su Luo, and nodded: "In theory, this is the case, but since Mrs. Shizi, you have grievances with these two people before, you are indeed the biggest suspect, so I All questions must be answered!"

Su Luo nodded: "I understand."

Liu Gongyun took the tray from the servant beside him, showed it to everyone, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has just asked the commander of the Imperial Guard that this kind of arrow is shorter than ordinary arrows. Crossbow, and it was fired from a specially made crossbow."

Hope was ignited in Emperor Yue's eyes: "Since this arrow is shorter than usual, let's check it from above!"

Liu Gongyun shook his head: "The old minister also thought about it, but the old minister asked just now, this arrow is of ordinary craftsmanship, it is made by breaking off a long arrow, I am afraid it will be very difficult to find out the reason from it!"

The light in Emperor Yue's eyes went out.

Liu Gongyun hurriedly said: "But it's not useless. Let's see, the length of the arrow body can't be caged in the sleeve or hidden on the body. There must be something suitable for it, or it must have been put in it long ago. The sword and crossbow were placed at the place where the murder was committed! But the imperial guards searched around the Cuiwei Pavilion just now and found no trace of the crossbow, which means..."

The Emperor Yue pondered and said, "The crossbow is still on the murderer's body? Or is it hidden?"

"Today's palace banquet is a big event. The old minister just asked. All the imperial guards have been put into use, and no one is alone. These people in the imperial guards basically have no time to commit crimes! Moreover, if they want to do something, I will not pick this time. The murderer killed Bai Zhi first, and then Princess Yunrou, which means that Princess Yunrou was not killed by mistake, but was already on the murderer's must-kill list! If it was a person in the palace, he could have picked someone else The right time to do it!"

As long as you are in this palace and plan slowly, there will always be a time when you can kill Princess Yunrou.

There was a little cold sweat on Su Luo's back.

He didn't realize it when he interrogated Su Qing last time, but now it seems that Liu Gongyun really has two tricks, no wonder Yue Huang pointed him to judge the case from the very beginning.

Yue Huang nodded: "Liu Aiqing's analysis makes sense!"

The courtiers who came to the palace banquet today heard this, and their hearts were really miserable.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. Now I haven't had a bite of food, but I've gotten into trouble. If I'm being targeted, I'll lose my head.

What Su Luo is most grateful for at the moment is that his parents Huaiyuanhou and Li Shi are not here.

They are used to being free in southern Xinjiang, and they can't stand the cumbersome rules of the court. Therefore, unless your Majesty specifically specifies that you must be present at such banquets, they will not go.

Su Luo also kept the matter of Tsing Yi from them, only saying that he was injured and would recover slowly in the future.Because from that moment on, Su Luo had secretly made up his mind that he must find a chance to avenge this revenge.

If the parents were there, there would definitely be many troubles.

Liu Gongyun continued: "Since he is a foreigner, he will not easily abandon the bow and crossbow. The situation was urgent at that time, and he probably didn't have time to find a suitable place to hide it. Therefore, the crossbow is most likely still in the murderer's possession." body!"

Ho!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

This is too daring, to even carry it with you.

Yue Huang frowned, obviously hesitant.

Su Luo's fingers curled up slightly, Master Liu is good at breaking people's hearts and reasoning.

The crossbow is indeed carried by her now.

Liu Gongyun seemed to know that these words were absurd, and explained: "The old minister is just inferring that since the murderer dared to attack in the heavily guarded palace in front of the public, he was extremely daring and did not take the usual path. The safest, he carries the bow and crossbow with him, so it is not easy to attract people's attention, isn't it?"

Yue Huang fell into deep thought.

Liu Gongyun said: "The old minister also asks His Majesty to approve, and find the trusted guards and nuns to check the luggage of today's perfunctory everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, discussions arose everywhere.

Searching luggage is an extremely embarrassing thing. There are many relatives of the emperor, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and everyone has a high status.Especially the female relatives, the packages of the female relatives always have some little secrets of their own, and they are not willing to show others easily.

However, everyone was dissatisfied and dissatisfied, and they did not dare to speak out against it.

If you disagree at this time, you will be the biggest suspect.

Yue Huang's eyes full of coercion scanned everyone one by one, and said: "Commander Han, you are in charge of the male guests..."

A black shadow flashed out soundlessly, and said yes.

"Women's side!" The Emperor Yue pondered for a moment, "Go and invite Nurse Xia who is next to the Empress Dowager, she is the most fair in dealing with things."

The Queen's nails are deeply embedded in the flesh, Your Majesty can't trust himself!
As soon as the Emperor Yue gave the order, the people below moved quickly, but Liu Gongyun stared at Su Luo with a pair of sharp eyes: "Mrs. Qi Guogong, can you please show me the box in your hand?"

It was only then that everyone noticed that the length of the wooden box in Xiao Hei's hand was exactly the same as that of Liu Gongyun's short arrow.
