ancient criminal minds

Su Yiyunge was stopped outside the dungeon, his handsome face was full of anger: "Your country can't help but treat Sister Xiao Wang as a murder suspect, and it hasn't been judged yet, why? Even visits are not allowed!"

The yamen servant who stopped him felt helpless. Although news of Princess Dai'er's death was blocked, rumors still spread. Otherwise, why would Su Yiyunge come to the dungeon so early?But they still had no choice but to follow the instructions of their superiors and keep him outside.

Su Yiyunge talked for a long time, but these yamen servants still didn't move, he had no choice but to leave angrily.

Lu Che and Tang Min reported the news of Dai'er's death to Emperor Yongning as early as possible. Emperor Yongning was furious, but punishing the two was of no avail. He could only urge them to solve the case quickly and at the same time send someone to stabilize Su Yiyunge.

Lu Che and Tang Min stepped up their pace of searching for the murder weapon. If they could find the murder weapon, they would naturally attribute Dai'er's death to a guilty suicide. However, they searched all over the room where Dai'er lived, and even Dai'er's maid was tortured. There is no way to get useful clues.As time passed, Su Yiyunge's suspicion would only grow stronger.

Lu Zheng returned to the scene of Lan Jingyi's death. He did not miscalculate the process of Luo Hong's death. Luo Hong's almost obsessive-compulsive lifestyle is the most important factor for the murderer to perfectly use this killing method, but What about Lan Jingyi?

Lan Jingyi does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor is she nearsighted. If she kills him with the same method, the success rate will be very low.Is it just because he was lucky enough to use the previous method to kill Luo Hong, so he felt that he could use the same method to kill Lan Jingyi?

Lu Zheng was a little hesitant. From Luo Hong's case alone, the murderer was bold and careful. Logically, it is impossible for such a person to make such a low-level mistake in Lan Jingyi's case, unless...

"She probably wants to blame Princess Dai'er." A hoarse voice appeared next to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng turned his head and found that it was Jian Yu, he was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jian Yu spread his hands: "The top priority now is to solve this case, otherwise the joint trial of the three divisions will not be able to proceed at all, because in this case, I still come to see if you need help."

Lu Zheng didn't think too much, but followed Jian Yu's words and continued: "If you want to set the blame on, the murderer should have many ways, instead of using such a circuitous method, if we don't find the scar on Lan Jingyi's hand , or didn’t think about it on the roof at all? Or did the petals and pearl buttons fall into some gap and were not found?” He shook his head, “There are too many variables to blame. That’s why I didn’t think about this place.”

"It's not wrong for you to say that." Jian Yu said, "But why was Dai'er killed so quickly? If the murderer didn't take this into consideration, how could he react in time? The guards of the dungeon are not lax. If you are prepared, it is not easy to get in and kill people."

"Why do you think it must be murder?" Lu Zheng asked puzzled.

The corners of Jian Yu's lips twitched slightly: "A person who has the will to die will not have such a frightened expression when he dies."

Lu Zheng didn't see Dai'er's body, but heard that she died of poisoning. He also nodded when he heard what Jian Yu said: "If Dai'er didn't commit suicide, then this case was premeditated, even the case The development is calculated by others. I am afraid that if we do not find any evidence, the murderer will find a way to point the finger at Dai'er."

"Su Yidai'er is the jewel of the Jie people's imperial court, and is very loved by the Jie people. If she dies, the Jie people will probably send troops to Daxia immediately when she dies," Jian Yu said lightly.

"But provoking the two countries to fight, what good is it for the murderer?" Lu Zheng guessed, "The snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's benefit? It's too uncontrollable... Could it be that they have enmity with us or the Jie people?"

Jian Yu replied: "Dai'er died in Daxia for no reason. From the obvious point of view, Daxia is at fault, and it is more likely that she has an enmity with Daxia."

"In that case, what does the murderer want?" Lu Zheng bit his finger impatiently.

Jian Yu sighed, pulled out his fingers, and wiped them carefully with a handkerchief: "Don't worry."

Lu Zheng froze for a moment, Jian Yu lowered his head so that he could not see the other person's expression clearly, but he still felt uncomfortable, fortunately, Jian Yu let go of his hand after wiping it clean.

Lu Zheng didn't dare to bite his finger anymore, and took a few deep breaths.

"So, going back to the beginning, why did Luo Hong and Lan Jingyi die?" Lu Zheng calmed down, "What is the motive of the murderer, which made him spend so much effort to kill two court officials, and even provoke The two countries are at war?"

Jian Yu didn't speak, just let Lu Zheng think quietly.

Lu Zheng's mind was running quickly, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head in a daze, and looked at Jian Yu: "Is there no one around when these two fell asleep?"

Jian Yu didn't know what he wanted to ask, so he sent someone to find Lan Jingyi's servant, who nodded, "Your Excellency is very clean, and he doesn't like to be served close to others on weekdays, especially when sleeping, even the outside room No one is allowed to stay.”

Lu Zheng fell into deep thought again. He had also asked about Luo Hong's living habits during the case of Luo Hong earlier. Luo Hong usually doesn't like others to be close to him. Even if he spends the night with his wife, he will definitely come back Resting in their own room, it can be said that these two people were alone when they were sleeping soundly. Is this a coincidence or some reason?

Lu Zheng had read some books about secret agents before, and it said that these secret agents were usually nervous because of the nature of their work, and they were afraid that they would reveal their secrets in their sleep, so they could only fall asleep when they were alone.But Luo Hong and Lan Jingyi are not secret agents, their family backgrounds are clean, and there is no doubt about their behavior, so... Could it be that they have some ulterior secrets?

Like Lu Zheng, Rong Zhen also thought of this, but his method is much simpler and more brutal. Poor Song Zhiyi, he is as busy as a spinning top, but he is not a leader of intelligence for nothing, as long as he has The direction, and soon found the clues.

Luo Hong and Lan Jingyi were originally low-ranking officials. Luo Hong came from a poor family, and Lan Jingyi was from the Lan family, but she was not a direct descendant. Both of them made their fortunes from the treason case of King Wei 20 years ago. The Huo family of Queen Mother Wei's family was tried. The case file was written by Luo Hong. At that time, Lan Jingyi, as a vassal of the East Palace, followed the then crown prince and now Emperor Yongning when he confiscated the Huo family.Afterwards, Luo Hongqingyun went straight up, but he has been an official of Dali Temple in six years, and Lan Jingyi is slightly inferior to him, but with his ability, it is considered very fast to be the young minister of Dali Temple in seven years.

Rong Zhen frowned slowly. It was 20 years ago again. Is there any connection between these two people and what he is investigating?

Song Zhiyi said: "When I was investigating these two people, I discovered one thing. Luo Hong and Lan Jingyi have a very good personal relationship, but neither their subordinates nor their family members know much about it."

"Personal friendship?" Rong Zhen's index finger tapped the table slowly.

"As the saying goes, the four kinds of relationships between men are the deepest. They went to the window together, carried guns together, shared the spoils together, and went whoring together." Song Zhiyi said with a smile, "But I don't know which kind of these two are?"

"I have dealt with Lan Jingyi before. This person has a bad temper. Even if Luo Hong is his boss, I am afraid he would not lower his status to make friends with him. Luo Hong is said to be extremely upright and rigorous. The two have a very good personal relationship, which is interesting." Rong Zhen said slowly, "The earliest encounter between these two people was in the treason case of King Wei 20 years ago, but I don't know what the mystery of this case is?"

Song Zhiyi said: "If it was for the treason case of King Wei 20 years ago, but there were 30 officials who tried the case at that time, and most of them are now in high positions. Why did the murderer target these two people?"

"My strange thing is, why did these two people stay in Dali Temple?" Rong Zhen said, "In the 12th year of Yongning, Luo Hongben had the opportunity to be transferred outside, but he refused. In the 13th year of Yongning, Lan Jingyi served as the young minister of Dali Temple. But at that time, he had the opportunity to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although the two levels were similar, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was very old at that time, while Luo Hong, the Minister of Dali Temple, was in the prime of life. No matter how he was chosen, the chance of the Ministry of Industry would always be better. , why did Lan Jingyi go to Dali Temple?"

Hearing what he said, Song Zhiyi was also puzzled: "It's really strange. According to the speed of their promotion at that time, both of them obviously had the opportunity to go further, but they both stayed in Dali Temple and did not leave. What is there in Dali Temple? Make them reluctant to leave?"

"Reluctance?" Rong Zhen shook his head, "Not necessarily."

"What does cousin mean?"

"I think these two people are afraid to leave Dali Temple." Rong Zhen lowered his eyes, "This kind of fear even overwhelmed their desire for power, which may have something to do with the secret that these two people kept together."

"What secret?"

Rong Zhen said lightly: "If I knew, I would have asked Zhi Shu to catch the murderer now, what's the use of telling you these things?"

"Ahem..." Song Zhiyi rubbed his nose, "Then what should we do now?"

Rong Zhen stood up and thought for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"Send a letter to Su Dai, asking him to count the food and grass, step up the training, tighten the inside and outside of the city, and arrest any suspicious people immediately. In addition, call back all the night owls to prepare for the battle."

Song Zhiyi was refreshed. Ye Xiao was the intelligence organization he was in charge of. It was originally prepared for the battle in Northern Xinjiang, but these years, Northern Xinjiang was scared by Rong Zhen, and Ye Xiao was gradually scattered to various places, hiding among the crowd. Now, with Rong Zhen's order, it means that a big battle is imminent.

"Yes!" Song Zhiyi took the order and left.

Rong Zhen looked out of the window, the setting sun was like blood, hanging in the dark night sky, faintly showing something ominous.
