Do you think this is possible?"

"It's not impossible!" Lu Xiaofeng said in a deep voice: "If the Innate God Flower is condensed, it is indeed possible."

Ye Gucheng said calmly: "Although Manager Jiang is not a top-level expert, his strength is not weak either. It is not easy to control him without him noticing.

This not only requires Manager Jiang to be unguarded against that person, but also requires Manager Jiang to be in an unconscious state.

Like, being drunk!"

Victoria Song pinched her waist and smiled: "So, this is simple!"

"Manager Jiang, tell me yourself, who are your close friends that you trust and in whose presence you can get drunk without worry?

We just need to screen them one by one, find the ones with the strongest martial arts skills, and we can basically identify the murderer!"

After saying this, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Xuan with a smile, "Brother, is my analysis correct?"

Song Xuan nodded and praised: "The idea is good, it seems that you really use your brain."

Song Qian's analysis is that the Embroidery Thief controlled Jiang Chongwei through mental control, and this conclusion is biased.

But there was nothing wrong with her thinking. Although there were errors in the details of the analysis and the Embroidery Thief's modus operandi was not the same, it did not affect finding out who the murderer was.

The Prince of Pingnan, who was originally showing the deep affection between master and servant with Jiang Chongwei, suddenly became gloomy when he heard this.

He took a step back to Ye Gucheng's side and suddenly said, "Someone come here!"

The next moment, seven or eight guards in black armor suddenly appeared outside the treasury, with the prince as the center, protecting him in the middle.

The prince pointed at the bewildered Jiang Zhongwei and said coldly, "Take him away and ask him who his friends are, who he drank with, and who he got drunk with. Don't miss a single one!"

Without saying a word, the black-armored guards stepped forward to restrain Jiang Chongwei and took him towards a certain direction of the palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am wronged, wronged!"

"I'm not under anyone's mind control, really not!"

But the prince turned a deaf ear to this and instead looked at Victoria Song with admiration, "Miss Song is truly a detective, worthy of the title of the second best detective in the capital.

I wonder who the number one detective is?"

"Who else could it be?" Victoria Song looked at her brother with a smile, "My skills were all taught to me by my brother. When it comes to handling cases, I don't even have one tenth of his ability!"

"Okay, stop bragging!" Song Xuan waved his hand. His sister was good in every way except that she couldn't change her boastful and vain nature.

She not only praised herself, but also praised her brother.

Song Xuan felt that if he could become famous in the future, half of the credit would be due to the reputation his younger sister had spread in the martial arts world.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. How could an eighteen-year-old girl have no personality at all?

Jin Jiuling's face looked a little unhappy. Seeing the Prince of Pingnan flattering Song Xuan, he felt even more uncomfortable.

The plan I painstakingly set up is about to be broken?

He felt depressed, but he didn't dare to make trouble. There were many masters present. Lu Xiaofeng alone was not easy to deal with, let alone Hua Manlou.

Especially the sword master Ye Gucheng who was standing next to the Prince of Pingnan made him extremely wary.

As for the Song Xuan siblings, their ability to solve cases is indeed remarkable, but it is hard to say how strong they are. However, I think that no matter how young they are, can they be stronger than Ye Gucheng?

Not long after, the palace guards came in with a confession.

The Prince of Pingnan took a look and was a little surprised at first, but then he calmly put the confession into his sleeve and bowed to everyone, saying, "Thank you all for coming today, but Jiang Zhongwei still needs to be interrogated, so I won't keep you here any longer."

After the host had seen the guests off, Song Xuan and the others did not stay any longer and left the palace after saying goodbye.

As soon as Jin Jiuling walked out of the palace gate, he clasped his fists slightly and bowed, and left without even saying a word of greeting.

"This guy is so rude!" Song Qian snorted unhappily.

"That's normal." Lu Xiaofeng smiled. "He's known as the God of Detectives in Huguang Prefecture, but he couldn't find any clues last time he investigated a case. You came and analyzed the case so accurately. He must have felt ashamed and embarrassed to stay any longer."

"Ugh!"

Victoria Song sighed, but she didn't hide the smug look on her face. "People who are too outstanding are always easily envied. This world is so lonely... Alas!"

Victoria Song covered her head and asked, "Brother, why are you hitting my head?"

Chapter 144 I won’t be at peace unless I kill this girl!

"show off!"

Song Xuan glared at her and said, "It's good to use your brain, but don't be too proud. If there weren't so many people here today, Jin Jiuling would definitely have attacked you!"

"Ah? I didn't offend him, why would he hit me..."

The next moment, Victoria Song seemed to have figured it out and blinked, "So, the embroidery thief is Jin Jiuling?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be him!"

Song Xuanping said calmly: "Jin Jiuling himself said that he and Jiang Chongwei have been friends for decades, so after the other party was blinded, he rushed over to investigate the situation as soon as possible.

If we were to ask who Jiang Chongwei trusts the most in this world, it must be Jin Jiuling!

Therefore, he has plenty of ways to control Jiang Chongwei, or to get another key to the treasure house from Jiang Chongwei.

Also, the palace is heavily guarded, with many experts, and the terrain is extremely complex! On my way to the treasury, I noticed no fewer than seven or eight traps.

If there is no map, ordinary experts will get dizzy just by taking detours after entering the palace. Even the top experts in the world may trigger the trap if they are not careful.

The map of a place as important as the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion is difficult to leak, but others cannot get the map. As a captain of the Xuanyi Guard here, Jin Jiuling is definitely capable of getting it.

There are other shops and escort agencies that were robbed. Their business and escort routes have always been secretive, but with the ability of Jin Jiuling, a captain of the Xuanyi Guard, it shouldn't be difficult for him to learn such secrets."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Sir, now that you put it that way, Jin Jiuling has the opportunity and the ability to commit the crime, so he is indeed the biggest suspect!

But what is his motive for doing this? Is it simply because he enjoys the thrill of being a thief? "

"People like this do bad things for two reasons: money or power, and of course, maybe women as well."

As he spoke, Song Xuan subconsciously glanced at Xue Bing beside Lu Xiaofeng from the corner of his eye.

The eighth sister in the Red Shoes Organization is the most beautiful one in the organization. Even after Jin Jiuling's crime was exposed, he still wanted to kidnap her and play with her. It can be seen that the guy has been coveting Xue Bing for a long time.

Xue Bing seemed to have noticed Song Xuan's hidden gaze and his body trembled instinctively.

Song Xuan withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

Although this woman has been acting very calm since she met him, he can feel that Xue Bing is afraid of him.

The very scary kind.

This is very interesting.

Song Xuan guessed that Xue Bing should know that he had killed Gongsun Daniang.

Although she knew that he was a ruthless character who would kill without blinking an eye, Xue Bing still suppressed her fear and did not leave for Lu Xiaofeng. It can be seen that this girl is indeed deeply in love with Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng was immersed in analyzing the case. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Sir, if that embroidered thief is really Jin Jiuling, this matter will be very difficult to handle.

After all, his identity is there. He is the captain of the Xuanyi Guard in a prefecture. Even the King of Pingnan probably wouldn't dare to offend him.

Furthermore, what we just analyzed is just speculation, without any real evidence. If you want to convict him based on these speculations, Jin Jiuling will definitely not admit it."

Song Xuan laughed casually and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we know the situation, it's fine. The one who suffered the loss is the Pingnan Palace, not us. Let the Pingnan Palace fight him first."

As he spoke, he called out to the palace, "Old Ye, do you want to go drink with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in white emerged from the mansion like a ghost and shook his head slightly, "No, Brother Lu knows me, I never drink!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That's true. Brother Ye and Brother Ximen are both pure swordsmen. In order to keep their sword skills at the peak, they never drink."

"That's such a pity!" Song Xuan lamented, "The world has lost one more bit of happiness."

Song Xuan is not fond of drinking, but he doesn't mind having a few drinks if he encounters good wine. As for whether there will be any negative effects after drinking?

What a joke! He even dares to eat Gongsun Da Niang's sugar-roasted chestnuts, and he still cares about the alcohol content?

......

After watching Song Xuan and the others leave, Ye Gucheng entered a study in the palace.

"teacher!"

Seeing Ye Gucheng push the door open and walk in, Prince Pingnan hurriedly asked, "Did Lu Xiaofeng and the others say anything?"

Ye Gucheng did not hide anything and recounted what he had heard.

The Prince of Pingnan's expression shifted from gloomy to bright. After listening to the whole story, he said in a deep voice, "So, they've already determined that Jin Jiuling is the Embroidery Thief?"

Ye Gucheng nodded.

"So what do you think, teacher?"

Ye Gucheng lowered his eyes slightly, then opened them again and said, "I think so too."

The prince frowned and said, "As a thousand households, he should not be short of money, so why did he steal so much property? What is his purpose?"

"You can't just guess whether you're short of money. Since you're suspicious, I'll check and find out!"

The prince's face was full of smiles. "Then I'll trouble you, teacher. You just need to investigate secretly, and don't confront Jin Jiuling head-on.

After all, his identity is there. As a man of the Jianghu, if you kill a captain of the Xuanyi Guard, you will definitely be chased and bitten by those mad dogs of the Law Enforcement Department."

"I know it!"

Ye Gucheng looked arrogant and said, "In this Wuyang City, Jin Jiuling is not qualified to confront me head-on."

......

After leaving the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion and returning to his own residence, Jin Jiuling's face became completely gloomy.

At this moment, his mind was full of the scene of Victoria Song analyzing the suspect.

"I won't be at peace unless I kill this girl!"

Jin Jiuling's face was terribly gloomy. Even the two confidants beside him were silent and dared not speak out of fear of bringing bad luck.

Jin Jiuling is very arrogant. Since he joined the Xuanyi Guard, every case he handled has been extremely outstanding.

In his eyes, those so-called thieves or master thieves were all as stupid as pigs. He could catch the criminals at any time as long as he wanted.

The more cases he handled, the more conceited he became. In his opinion, there were few smart people in the world. Even Lu Xiaofeng, who was a household name in the world, was not taken seriously by him.

In terms of martial arts, he didn't dare say that he was better than Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuxue and others, but in terms of intelligence, even Lu Xiaofeng was just a slightly smarter pig in his eyes.

Therefore, he was very arrogant and set up the trap of the Embroidery Thief, and was even more arrogant to lure Lu Xiaofeng into this trap, wanting to use Lu Xiaofeng to deal with Gongsun Da Niang.

Everything went smoothly at first. The Embroidery Thief committed many crimes, but no one ever suspected him of being involved with the Embroidery Thief.

After all, as the prestigious commander of a thousand households and the best detective in Huguang, no one would believe that the notorious embroidery thief was Jin Jiuling, even if he was crazy.

He never thought that he would be exposed, until today, when he met his lifelong enemy - the little girl named Victoria Song!

Chapter 145 Don’t worry, I’ll do the work

Jin Jiuling believed that his planning over the years had been flawless.

When he committed crimes as the Embroidery Thief, he actually left behind a lot of clues.

For example, he dresses like a woman and uses an embroidery needle as a weapon. Anyone with a normal mind would subconsciously think that the Embroidery Thief is a woman.

Combined with the other clues he left behind, all the clues added together will eventually point the finger at Gongsun Da Niang.

Whether Gongsun Da Niang admits it or not, she is bound to take the blame for the Embroidery Thief.

This was what he thought before yesterday. Even when he knew that Gongsun Da Niang was dead, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was better for her to be dead, after all, a dead person couldn't speak to defend himself.

But who would have thought that today in the Prince of Pingnan's Palace, all his plans were ruined by a little girl.

This girl didn't follow any routine or official procedures. She didn't check the scene, didn't look for clues, and didn't even bother to ask the survivors.

Right off the bat, there was this "typical locked-room burglary and murder case"!

Typical, what’s typical about it?

Are there many cases of locked-room burglary and murder?

After the girl's analysis, the suspect was basically identified. The suspect ignored all the clues that Jin Jiuling had laid out.

How could he put the blame on Gongsun Da Niang?

Let alone putting the blame on others, at this rate, it would probably not take many days for the case to be traced back to Jin Jiuling.
