Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 603

Looking outside the door along the ground, Li Canghai suddenly understood, and said to himself, "So that's how it is!"

"Cang Hai, what have you figured out?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai pointed to a layer of ice outside the door and said, "I know why there is a layer of ice in front of the door. It's just a layer of ice."

Di Qing suddenly realized, she stared at the ice in front of the door, and said puzzledly: "But so what? What does this have to do with the murder case?"

Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet. Is it related? Or is it irrelevant?"

Li Canghai said a few words to himself, and then fell into deep thought.

Di Qing knew that when Li Canghai was meditating, he could not be disturbed, so she gestured to Li Yu, then walked out of the Buddhist hall gently, and came to guard the door.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it is basically certain that the King of Silla was indeed killed.

But what is the murderer's motive?

In addition, the biggest confusion is how this huge Buddha statue was moved from the altar to the door?
Also, how did the murderer quietly leave after the murder?
As far as he knows, there is a fire pit under this Buddhist hall, and there is absolutely no secret way.

When Di Qing checked the body of King Silla, he also looked around the walls of the Buddhist hall, and there was no secret door or anything like that.

Apart from a gate and two windows, there is no other way out of this Buddhist hall. After the murderer killed him, he seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Judging from the whole scene, it seems very simple.

King Silla came to the Buddhist hall alone, but for some reason, he suddenly went crazy.Perhaps he was cursed and became so powerful that he moved the Buddha statue in front of the door, and then killed himself with the Golden Toad Sword.

There were no clues at the scene for investigation, and a line of footprints outside the door also showed that only the King of Silla came to the Buddhist hall.

Unless, the murderer stepped on the snow without a trace, without leaving a trace.

However, he has never seen anyone with such abilities in the Silla Palace these days.

Li Canghai thought about it, but didn't come up with any results.

I had to put the clues on the time of the death of King Silla again.

The body of King Silla was warm, and with the clear footprints outside, it can be determined that the time of death should not exceed an hour.

Last night, the King of Silla was still talking to himself about the succession of the throne. After one night, the King of Silla died for no reason, which made him suspicious of several princes.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai decided to investigate the princes.

In the hall, Li Canghai frowned.

There were several princes standing in front of him, all of them looked sad.

After a while, the eldest prince hurried in. After saluting to Li Canghai, he said, "Uncle, my nephew has blocked the news according to your instructions, and strengthened the surrounding patrol forces to guard against surprise attacks from Dongpu."

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Xitai, you've done a good job. Your father's spirit in heaven will definitely be very gratifying."

The eldest prince Xitai's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, as if he was enduring great sadness.

"Uncle, why did you call us here?" Third Prince Xizhen asked.

Li Canghai's sharp eyes swept over them, and he said solemnly: "I asked the guards on duty, last night, you all went to the imperial study, didn't you?"

Several people bowed their heads at the same time.

"Go back to Uncle, it was my father who summoned me to go." The eldest prince Xitai said.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Tell me, when did you all go and when did you leave?"

Several people froze at the same time.

The second prince Xiyuan frowned slightly, he looked at Li Canghai and said, "Uncle, what do you mean? Do you suspect...?"

Before the second prince could finish speaking, Li Canghai waved his hand and said indifferently: "You misunderstood, I just want to know, during the time you went in, did you find anything unusual about Brother Wang or the imperial study?"

A few people let out an oh, and then they were relieved.

"Xi Tai, let's start with you!" Li Canghai said.

The eldest prince thought for a while and said, "Last night around Xu time, I was patrolling with my guards. I met my second brother. The second brother said that my father asked me to go to the imperial study room, saying that he had something important to explain to me. When I arrived at the imperial study room Afterwards, my father said something to me, but at that time, my father did not show any abnormalities, and it was the same in the imperial study room. After half an hour, my father let me leave."

The second prince went on to say: "Last night before Xushi, my father called me to the imperial study room and gave me some memorials for me to review. After I left, I immediately went to find Brother Dawang. After that, I didn't finish the approval until around Zishi." Memorial, go to report to the father. In the imperial study, because I saw that the father was unwell, I left the imperial study after putting down the memorial."

The third prince, Xizhen, grabbed her hair in a bun, bowed to Li Canghai, and said: "My nephew was called to the imperial study by my father during Haishi, and my father asked my nephew to practice martial arts with the elder brother, and with the second king. My brother studied governing the country and the country, and then let my nephew leave the imperial study. My nephew stayed in the imperial study for half an hour, and did not find anything unusual."

There was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old little prince, who said timidly: "Last night I went to play with my father, and I saw Brother Sanwang talking to my father from a distance, so I didn't go in. After Brother Sanwang left, I I just went to the study. My father gave me some pastries and told me that it was late and told me to go back to sleep, so I went back."

Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose, and from what they said, before Zishi, the king of Silla was still in good shape.

"During this period, did you find out that your father took out the Golden Toad Sword?" Li Canghai asked.

Several people were taken aback, shaking their heads at the same time.

Li Canghai frowned suddenly, he bowed his head in thought for a moment, and decided to go to the Imperial Study Room to have a look.

When he came to the imperial study room, Li Canghai suddenly felt a little sad.

He was still talking here with the King of Silla yesterday, but after only one night, things were different.

In the imperial study room, as always, there was a stack of memorials on the dragon table.

Li Canghai inspected the imperial study carefully, as he saw last night, there was nothing abnormal.

Li Canghai came to the dragon case, picked up the memorials and read them.

Suddenly, a scroll of yellow silk fell from the dragon table.

Di Qing hurriedly bent down to help him pick it up, held it in her hand and looked at it, and Di Qing suddenly became startled.

"Cang Hai, this... this is the imperial edict!"

Hearing this, Li Canghai immediately took the scroll in his hand and read it.

Sure enough, as Di Qing said, this is an enthronement edict.
