Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 617

Everyone fell into silence due to shock, only Li Yu said suspiciously: "Sir, as you said, we should see ice cubes under the Buddha statue at the door? But we didn't find any ice cubes. What's going on again?"

"Speaking of this, I have to admit that the murderer has a very high IQ. He chose to use ice to move the Buddha statue, not just because ice is easy to move. More importantly, ice can be melted. Buddha The hall is a large kang with high temperature. As long as the fire is heated outside, the temperature of the Buddhist hall will rise, and the ice will melt. We did not see the ice because all the ice has been melted, and some of them have penetrated into the ground. Some flow out of the door along the cracks of the door." Li Canghai said indifferently: "My lord, do you still remember that there was a layer of ice on the steps in front of the Buddhist hall? become."

"I see. No wonder I always feel that the layer of ice is a bit strange! This is really a clever trick. The ice melts, and there is no evidence. Tsk tsk, I rarely admire anyone, but for this murderer, I am very impressed." How much admiration!" Li Yu said with emotion.

A meaningful smile rose from the corner of Li Canghai's mouth, and he said lightly: "If the prince thinks that the murderer only has these tricks, then the next thing may surprise the prince from ear to ear."

"Oh? What tricks does the murderer have?" Li Yu asked hurriedly.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and continued: "The murderer's strength lies in the fact that he has arranged everything, and it can even be said to be flawless. Even if there is suspicion, there is no clue to investigate."

"Uncle Wang, I don't understand. Since the murderer killed the father in the imperial study, why did he transfer the father to the Buddhist hall? And he spent a lot of time to make these things happen?" The eldest prince asked puzzled.

"There are two reasons why the murderer did this. First, the murderer wanted to get rid of suspicion. Second, it was to make us think that the murder was a curse." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

"This is very strange. If there is no curse to kill people, why does the eldest prince go crazy? We have witnessed that the eldest prince went crazy because he took the Golden Toad Sword. Not only that, he also became so powerful that he easily killed Throwing the giant cauldron into the sea of ​​flames, what happened?" Di Qing asked with a slight frown.

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "I said that there has never been a curse to kill in this world. This is just a play deliberately put on by the murderer to convince us that there is such a thing as curse to kill."

"Acting? Could it be that the murderer is the eldest prince?" Li Yu said suddenly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at the eldest prince with strange eyes.

The eldest prince looked panic-stricken, and he exclaimed: "It's not me! How could I do such a rebellious thing? Uncle Wang, please say something! I didn't kill my father!"

"Brother Eldest Prince, Father... Did you kill him?" Second Prince Xiyuan asked bitterly, staring at Eldest Prince closely.

"I... I didn't! I didn't kill my father!" The eldest prince screamed again and again.

"Since you didn't kill your father, why is the Golden Toad Sword in your hands? Why do you act like you were cursed by the Golden Toad Sword? Isn't it to make us believe that curse kills people?" The second prince asked sharply.

The eldest prince's face turned pale, he shook his head vigorously, and said: "I... I don't know what's going on! I don't even know how the Golden Toad Sword is in my hand? But...but I didn't kill my father! Second brother, you have to trust me! Third brother, what about you? Even you don’t believe me?”

The eldest prince was terrified. He found that everyone was looking at him with deep suspicion.

The eldest prince felt that the sky was falling down, and he let out a wry smile from his throat, and said in a daze, "Since you all don't believe me, then I have to die to prove my innocence! Ah!"

The eldest prince shouted loudly, and then bumped into King Silla's coffin.

Just when the eldest prince lowered his head and bumped into it, Li Canghai swung his sleeves violently, and a mighty energy immediately enveloped the eldest prince and stopped him.

The two eminent monks from India looked at Li Canghai in astonishment, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes at the same time. They hurried forward, clasped their hands together and said, "Almsgiver, people cannot be resurrected after death. Since you are not a murderer, why don't you live to prove your innocence?" ? Suicide will only increase your own sins. Because of your suicide, you have indulged the real murderer. If the real murderer continues to commit murder, all the sins will fall on the head of the benefactor. Why bother? Nanwu Baoji Tathagata!"

Stopping the eldest prince casually, Li Canghai stared at him, then looked at the crowd, and said word by word: "Xitai, it's not the murderer. He was used by the murderer."

"What's going on here? I'm getting more and more confused by what you say." Li Yu scratched his head and said blankly.

Li Canghai said deeply: "As I said before, the reason why the murderer made such a move is actually to convince us that the Golden Toad Sword can really make people crazy and become infinitely powerful, so that we can believe that, brother Wang Died under the curse of suicide. But the murderer did it in a self-defeating way."

"But we clearly saw the eldest prince go crazy with our own eyes, and he threw a huge cauldron weighing more than five hundred kilograms into the fire?" Li Yu asked doubtfully.

"Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true, just like what Xi Yuan saw in the imperial study was not Brother Wang, but the murderer." Li Canghai said.

"Cang Hai, you mean to say that the person we saw was not the eldest prince, but a murderer in disguise?" Di Qing thought for a while and said.

Li Canghai snapped his fingers and said approvingly: "That's right, that's actually the murderer, not the eldest prince. The reason why we think that person is the eldest prince is because we saw him wearing the military uniform of the eldest prince. At that time It's night, and behind him is a sky-high flame, which happens to be in our blind spot, and he lowered his head, so none of us can see his front, right?"

Di Qing thought about it, and felt that it was indeed as he said.

That night, the crazy eldest prince burned a side hall, and held the Golden Toad Sword in his hand, not allowing anyone to approach, everyone was twenty steps away from him, and no one saw him.

"Even though the murderer pretended to be the eldest prince, he did throw the giant cauldron into the fire? Could it be that the murderer was born with supernatural power?" Di Qing asked curiously.

Li Canghai shook his head, and said calmly: "The murderer is not born with supernatural powers. Just like the secret room of the Buddhist hall, the murderer used the same technique. He placed the giant tripod on the ice and dragged it to the side hall. As for the giant tripod Throwing it into the fire is a complete sham."
