Chapter 167: Revealing the Truth About Martyrdom (10)
"When the accident happened, the Kongming lanterns were already being released, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky. Who would have expected that someone would take advantage of this gap to run up to the altar?" Li Zheng retorted.

"Then, can I conclude that on the night when the altar flame was opened, no one saw Qin Dai and Xu Luo enter the altar and climb up the bronze tripod?" Baili Changge looked at Li Zheng with an unclear smile on his lips. .

Li Zheng remained silent, as a tacit consent.

"Lord Yin, what's going on here? Could it be that Xian'er was killed by Pan Yang, a beast?" Qin Kaiming frowned deeply, the tears on his face were dried by the air, and now only slightly cloudy pupils could be seen.

Baili Changge didn't say a word, took out the string that was found in the bronze tripod and had been cleaned and tied up in a circle, and showed it to everyone, and said unhurriedly: "This thing is made by Master Li to clean the altar. I found it in the bronze tripod when I was there."

When everyone looked at it, the doubts on their faces became even more serious. Xu Yan, who managed to recover, glanced at him and frowned and said, "Once such a big bronze tripod is lit, the fire will be huge, and the strings of this zither can be preserved intact. ?”

"Since it was found from the bronze cauldron, it means that the string of the qin is constantly burning. The low-level officials have poor eyesight and can't tell which kind of treasure this thing is in the world, so I want to try to light it myself, Mr. Li. What do you think?" Baili Changge raised her brows, seeming to be discussing with Li Zheng, but before he could react, she had already taken the firefold from Shen Qianbi's hand, untied the ribbon that bound the strings, and let the Shen Qianbi held one end with her fingers, and the other end went straight down. She lit the torch, squatted down and started burning from the bottom.

As soon as the flame met the string, it climbed up, and it didn't take long for it to reach Shen Qianbi's hand. She let go of her hand quickly, and let the last piece of string be swallowed by the flames.

Ye Hen's expression changed.

Li Zheng pointed to the ground and said: "Medical Officer Yin, didn't you say that the strings of the qin kept burning? Why did it disappear after a few taps?"

"Should I ask Governor Li this sentence?" Baili Changge turned around, staring at him coldly, "Didn't you ask Wei Yu to take this string to the palace for the prince?"

"It's impossible!" Li Zheng denied it, "The strings I asked Wei Yu to bring back are constantly burning."

As if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, Baili Changge looked at him with his hands on his forehead, "Master Li thinks us are fools? Where can we find the burning strings in this world?"

"Doctor Yin means that the strings were put in later?" Ye Hen asked in a timely manner.

"Exactly!" Baili Changge nodded, "When I received this thing, I didn't try to light it with fire immediately, and I formed a conclusion in my subconscious mind: this string was burned after the fire. It was taken out of the bronze tripod, and at the same time, it was acquiesced that the strings would continue to burn, but after such an experiment just now, I realized that I was wrong."

"Little medical officer, don't talk about those beating around the bush, I don't understand it!" Shen Qianbi waved her hands impatiently, "What is the truth, tell me quickly, I get a headache when you say those nonsense."

Baili Changge gave her a funny look, and then said slowly, "The truth is, Qin Dai and Xu Luo never ran in from the outside to climb the bronze tripod, because the two of them had been inside the bronze tripod all the time. However, it was only when the holy flame was lit that I realized it, so I kept struggling to crawl outside, but unfortunately the two of them were bound together with their hands, unable to break free, and finally brought in the half of their bodies that had come out, and were tied up. His hand was stained with pine resin when he was struggling, so it burned extremely badly." He added: "This is exactly the question that has troubled us for a long time: why did Qin Dai and Xu Luo appear on the bronze tripod at the same time."
