I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

88 Cingjing Jilingen

"Is this really possible..."

Fan Chunren looked at Bai Yutang and Jiang Lin who were busy sitting in front of the bronze mirror with a look of embarrassment, and said: "Pretend to be me to find out what the diplomatic mission is saying... It's too risky, I think Bao Zhongcheng can do it at a glance. Seems wrong."

Bai Yutang was still applying black powder to Jiang Lin's face, helping him to make his eyebrows black and thick.

"It's not all your fault. One looks like the sky and the other looks like the ground. I'm so tired, fifth master, how much effort I have to spend to transform Jiang Lin into your appearance."

Seeing that Jiang Lin was about to snigger, Bai Yutang rolled his eyes and scolded him, "Don't be complacent. You just lean against the sky, Fifth Master, I am the one who has really reached the heavens!"

"Guard Zhan, look at the two of them..." Fan Chunren wanted Zhan Zhao to persuade the two of them, but he saw a slight smile on Zhan Zhao's face.

Bai Yutang cocked his tail and said, "Of course Zhan Zhao is aiming at me. He's going to help us cover up with Bao Zhongcheng later, right?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Yes."

Fan Chunren felt even more helpless, and suggested: "In fact, if Jiang Shaoqing has any questions, you can tell me, and I will ask you seriously. It is really unnecessary to take such a big risk and sneak into Yushitai in violation of regulations. If this is done by Bao Zhongcheng or Fu Chancellor knew……"

"Some questions are clearest when I ask them myself." Jiang Lin tilted his face and let Bai Yutang help him comb his hair. "As for Bao Zhongcheng or Fu Prime Minister, if they are really discovered, Fan Yushi Just play dumb."

Fan Chunren pursed his lips slightly.

He is not very good at lying, and still hesitated, but Bai Yutang said: "Different people may get different results when asking the same question. If you ask, can you guarantee to see the flaws of the person being asked?" ?”

Fan Chunren froze.

Indeed, during the trip to Langzhou, Fan Chunren had already seen Jiang Lin's observation and judgment.The other party is the most proficient investigator he has ever met in his life. He is impeccable no matter in terms of tricks or adaptability. I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with him in ten years.

Thinking of the importance of this case to the negotiations between Song and Liao, Fan Chunren nodded, handed his token to Jiang Lin, and said: "Okay, I am willing to trust Jiang Shaoqing, and I will be able to find out the truth of this case."

·

In the afternoon of that day, Jiang Lin, disguised as Fan Chunren, and Zhan Zhao came to the Mission Garden.Jiang Lin covered half of his face with a fan, and handed the token to the guard at the door.

When the guard saw the token, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Guard Zhan, this is..."

Zhan Zhao coughed lightly: "Bao Zhongcheng wants me to confirm the testimony of Yelu envoy with Fan Yushi. It's urgent, please."

"No problem, no problem." The guard said with some embarrassment, "Fan Yushi seems to be a little tanned than usual, and I almost didn't recognize it. It should be because of the hard work these days, Fan Yushi has worked hard."

Jiang Lin imitated Fan Chunren's usual pretending manner and nodded indifferently, and entered the other garden with Zhan Zhao.

All the members of the mission are still living in the other garden, but Yelu Zongyuan, Mrs. Xian, and the servants involved in the case are all isolated in different rooms, and the daily food and clothing needs to be paid by the mission and Yushitai personally. Only after passing the inspection can they be sent to the room.

Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao sent someone to invite Mrs. Xian to the interrogation hut.

They had already learned about Mrs. Xian before they came.

Mrs. Xian's name is Xiao Xian, and her parents were both natives of the Liao Kingdom. She grew up in the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, but the location of her hometown, Kolleri, is somewhat special.

Strictly speaking, Kolleri is a piece of grassland near the border of the Song Dynasty, located in the north of the Song Dynasty and southwest of the Liao Kingdom.

However, following the rebellion of Li Yuanhao in the north of the Song Dynasty, that border became the intersection of the three forces, and it has experienced wars and rebellions all year round.

Mrs. Xian entered Yelu Zongyuan's house when she was very young, and she hasn't been back to her hometown for a long time. However, the negotiations between Song and Liao involved a lot. This was as early as when her name was included in the list of missions. It was emphatically marked out.

Jiang Lin looked at Mrs. Xian, who had puffy cheeks, and asked politely, "Fan found out from the Xianghui Building what the two wives ordered the day before yesterday. I want to confirm with my wife."

He deliberately disguised his voice, so that the other party did not see his flaws.

Mrs. Xian took the menu recorded by Jiang Lin, and there were many dishes listed in a chaotic manner.

She nodded and said, "Isn't that what I said before?"

"Then can you tell me about the process of your meal, for example, what specific dishes did Mrs. Yelu eat at that time?"

Mrs. Xian recalled with some embarrassment: "I ordered so many dishes, I should have eaten some of each one, right? The two of us just sat together to eat and chat very ordinaryly. Oh, by the way, there were people at the market outside the window Juggling, I have never seen it before, so I watched it with Sister Mengyao for a while, and left the Xianghui Building when we were done eating."

"Since the performance is so interesting..." Jiang Lin frowned, "Are you sure you saw Mrs. Yelu really eat the food?"

"This question is so strange." Mrs. Xian frowned unhappily and looked at Jiang Lin, "I'm a girl, no matter how big my appetite is, I can't finish so much food? I remember it clearly, even though my elbows are I ate it alone, and my sister Mengyao didn't save any of the roast goose legs for me!"

Zhan Zhao was a little speechless, thinking that the children of the prairie really had a bolder definition of appetite.

But he still didn't quite understand what Jiang Lin was asking.

Could it be that the key to solving the case really lies in the appetite of the two of them?

Jiang Lin continued to ask: "What about the afternoon? You two bought so many snacks, how much did Mrs. Yelu eat?"

"This..." Mrs. Xian rolled her eyes with some guilt, "Sister Mengyao really didn't eat that much after dinner, it seems that she only tasted some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Does this have anything to do with the case?"

"No comment at the moment." Jiang Lin finished answering with a smile, and asked Madam Xian to be invited back to meet Yelu Zongyuan.

Yelu Zongyuan obviously found it difficult to accept the fact that he was "under house arrest", and his eyes were black and blue.Seeing Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao, they began to scold: "Ask me once in the morning and once in the afternoon, how long do you want to imprison me? Are you trying to use this delaying tactic to force me to submit?! Unexpectedly, you Song In order to clear the obstacles in the negotiation, people will resort to such despicable means!"

Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and asked tentatively, "It seems that the envoy Yelu has heard the rumors in the city?"

Yelu Zongyuan felt that his voice was familiar, but he didn't bother to distinguish it. He just sneered and said, "I have my own news channel. Don't you dare to admit it if you dare to do it?"

"Yelü envoy, calm down, we really don't know what those rumors are about, and we are already investigating as soon as possible." Jiang Lin began to pretend to be stupid, and diverted Yelu Zongyuan's attention, "However, according to the information we took from Dali Temple, Judging from the results, you are indeed the most likely murderer to kill Mrs. Yelu."

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Killing my own wife in the territory of your Song Kingdom so well, and asking you to lock me up here, what's wrong with me?!"

Yelu Zongyuan couldn't help but slapped the table and scolded: "Bad luck! Bad luck! I don't see her once in ten days and half a month on weekdays, but it happened on the day she died..."

Jiang Lin felt a little relieved when he heard him scolding himself like this, and also admitted that he had a bad relationship with his wife.

But he still said calmly: "Your envoy, don't be in a hurry. I will mention this matter next time, just because, have you ever thought about who would deliberately frame you?"

Yelu Zongyuan's eyes lit up, and Jiang Lin hit the iron while it was hot: "You said just now that you hardly go to Madam Yelu's residence on weekdays. Why did you go to her room on the night of the banquet by such a coincidence?"

"What's the reason?" Yelu Zongyuan said angrily, "It's because she was not feeling well, so I just took a look at her..."

"Have you received any hints from anyone? Who did you stay with before going to see your wife?"

"Naturally, those elders in the mission." Yelu Zongyuan slapped his thigh and said, "Liu Liufu's wife was strict and said that he would go back early to accompany his wife. Is this a hint?"

Jiang Lin nodded and said: "Of course, you can talk to me about the details before and after you saw Mrs. Yelu, and I will help you analyze it carefully."

"Xiao Temo is busy writing documents..." Yelu Zongyuan paused, and realized that he couldn't disclose such secrets to Song Guo, so he quickly changed his words, "Xiao Temo went to work on official business, it doesn't seem like there is anything wrong. After I came out from Mengyao's place, I met Axian."

"Axian said that the hairpin she was wearing when she went out during the day was missing, and she wanted to ask Mengyao if she saw it. But later she found the hairpin in the house. It should have never been worn out. It was her misremembered."

When Jiang Lin heard this, he fell into deep thought.

After the questioning, Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao walked outside the garden.

Zhan Zhao asked softly, "But can we reveal the truth about Mrs. Yelu's death?"

"This is relatively obvious, but there are still some details that need to be confirmed." After speaking, Jiang Lin turned and brought Zhan Zhao to the gate of the small courtyard where Mrs. Yelu lived.

I saw a few servants inside the door picking up Mrs. Yelu's belongings, trying to clean out the room.Suddenly, there was a scream in the room, Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao rushed into the room, but saw a maid sitting on the ground, pointing to a ball of clean underwear on the ground, saying: "Mouse! There were mice here just now... ..."

Zhan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Lin leaned down, picked up the dress and sniffed it lightly.

The other servants in the room were stunned by his operation.

After all, it was also the personal clothing of their wife.How could this Song official who came out of nowhere be so shameless? !

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but wanted to remind him, but Jiang Lin said calmly, "Fan Chunren at the Yushitai, this dress is an important physical evidence, so Fan took it first."

Zhan Zhao: "..."

Just as he had fooled the servants, a serious voice came from behind Jiang Lin.

"Zhan Zhao, what happened here?"

Jiang Lin shuddered, turned his head slowly, and met Bao Zheng's gaze.

Bao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted: "Jiang Lin, you are a young minister from Dali Temple, why did you come here?!"
