Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 116 Unexpectedly
Li Canghai glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "My lord guessed right, this is indeed a scam, and the purpose is to get you to tell the truth yourself. In fact, I never doubted my lord before, until I learned that He Xiao and the others came from the prison cell. Missing and being driven into the tomb, I became suspicious of the adults."

Liang Xiu didn't speak, but stared at Li Canghai.

"Later in the palace of the underworld, I met He Xiao and asked him what happened at that time. He once said that he had accidentally caught a glimpse of the person who led them to Di Gong's cemetery, wearing soap boots on their feet." Speaking of this, Li Canghai paused for a moment, before he said calmly: "Under the laws of the Tang Dynasty, soap boots can only be worn by officials. It is conceivable that those people must be yamen servants. I really can't think of anyone who can mobilize yamen servants and block the news, except for your lord." other people."

"Based on this, you doubt my identity?" Liang Xiu felt that this reason was hard to convince him.

Li Canghai smiled lightly, and said: "Afterwards, we were in the Nether Palace. During the melee, you were the closest to Di Hentian, but he didn't attack you, but chose me. When he shot the arrow, you clearly saw In your eyes, but you didn't say anything to remind me, you must have had the idea of ​​killing me at that time, right?"

"Nonsense, whoever they choose to kill, do they need my consent?" Liang Xiu frowned, trying to defend himself.

"The situation was not good for them at that time. If they want to escape from the Nether Palace safely, the easiest way is to capture you. As long as you are in their hands, my lord, we will definitely throw a mouse at you. However, they are far away, not even worried that those men will I was captured by us. I didn't understand until later that I heard the news that all the people captured in the palace of the underworld were poisoned to death in prison. The reason why they are not worried that their subordinates will leak the secret is because someone will Clean up their troubles, and that person is you, my lord." Li Canghai said with a stern face.

Liang Xiu frowned, and he retorted: "But I was assassinated, could it be that you can't even doubt this?"

Li Canghai sighed, and said seriously: "My lord, your biggest mistake is that you shouldn't kill someone to silence you."

The corners of Liang Xiu's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "How do you say that?"

"I have observed the scene, the scene was messy, and it seemed that there was a fierce fight, but I searched the whole study room, but I didn't find any scratches from the weapons." Li Canghai said, recalling the scene at that time.

"So what?" Liang Xiu was a little puzzled.

"There was no trace of fighting at the scene, but it was messy. There is only one explanation, that is, someone did it on purpose. This is an obvious flaw." Li Canghai looked at Liang Xiu intently.

The panic on Liang Xiu's face has faded, replaced by a calm expression.

Seeing that Liang Xiu was silent, Li Canghai continued: "Also, the fatal wound on the deceased's body was on the lower back. From the point of view of the dagger's insertion, he was stabbed to death from the back, not accidentally killed during a fight. kill."

"Why?" Di Qing asked curiously.

"If two people are fighting and snatch the opponent's dagger, then the posture of holding the dagger should be like this." Seeing a plate of bananas on the table, Li Canghai broke off a banana and held it in his hand, making a gesture. With a gesture of poking downward, he said: "In this way, the dagger will be inserted into the body in an arc shape, and the dagger will be inclined at an angle."

"But the dagger on the back of the deceased is in a straight line." Li Canghai made a straight stabbing gesture again, and said seriously: "So, I conclude that the dagger must have been stabbed into the body from behind, and it was an acquaintance." Let's do it."

Di Qing was suddenly stunned. She recalled the murder case of Luofengji, and pondered: "I understand, it's like Zhuo Bufan didn't struggle when he died, because he didn't expect the other party to kill suddenly, so he must be an acquaintance."

Li Canghai nodded approvingly, he paused, and said: "It can make a killer relax his vigilance. Only one of his own, who knows that the other party will not harm him, will dare to expose his weaknesses. If Mr. Liang doesn't kill that person, I will still kill him." It's just a suspicion, but from the moment I saw the corpse, I was sure that Mr. Liang's identity is actually 'Nilin Xuanwu'!"

Liang Xiu laughed miserably, he shook his head, and said, "I originally wanted to kill people to silence my mouth, but I didn't want to, but it became my most fatal flaw. So, from then on, you arranged for Di Qing to be injured falsely, in order to let Do I let my guard down and throw myself into a trap?"

Li Canghai clasped his fists at him, bowed his hands, and said solemnly: "Canghai is very grateful for Mr. Liang's trust during this time, but the truth is the truth. In order to find out the truth, Canghai has no choice but to do so."

He paused, and said: "Master Liang has always cared about the brocade box since he came out of the Nether Palace, so I boldly made a guess and asked Qing'er to pretend to be injured, so that the lord thought that the brocade box was taken away by you. After that, I After many investigations, I learned that the adults often come here, so I asked He Xiao to pretend to be Di Hentian and talk to the adults, trying to figure out the truth."

"Oh, time is fate. It's also my fault that I was impatient and didn't investigate carefully, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into such a simple trap." Liang Xiu looked up to the sky and sighed, he looked at He Xiao, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that, You can find people who mimic voices so similarly."

Di Hentian's voice was relatively deep, while He Xiao's voice was more elegant. These two voices were easy to distinguish, but He Xiao was able to imitate Di Hentian's voice perfectly, adding the sound of the rain outside the house, So it's hard to tell.

Li Canghai smiled slightly. He remembered what he had entrusted to Xue Xuan early in the morning. He originally wanted He Xiao to disguise himself as Di Hentian. Considering that his eyes were injured, Liang Xiu could easily find his flaws, so he came up with this trick.

Fortunately, He Xiao is not only good at changing appearances, but also at changing voices. He can imitate all kinds of voices. In addition, he has been listening to Di Hentian speak in the palace of the underworld before, so he has a better understanding of his tone and tone. this scam.

"My lord, the so-called 'evil can never prevail against good', why did you join an organization like 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'?" Li Canghai frowned. Although he found out the truth, he still didn't want it to be true.

"Master Liang, I always thought you were a good official, but why did you do these things? Do you have something to hide, tell us, and we will help you!" Di Qing blinked her eyes and said expectantly.

Liang Xiu laughed miserably. He looked at the two of them and said, "If you make a mistake, you will lose everything. I have embarked on this path, and I can no longer turn back."

"My lord, are you also threatened by the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' like Huang Mang?" Li Canghai asked suddenly.

Liang Xiu was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look on his face, he sighed: "Forget it, this matter has been hidden in my heart for several years, and every time I think about it, it feels like scratching my heart, so I might as well explain it to you all today." .”
