After lunch, Yue Chen and Su Huai went back to their own room, the room was not too messy, after a little tidying up, it recovered.

Su Huai checked the luggage, and found that there was nothing missing, and the Louyue Sword was also well placed in the luggage.Su Huai took out the Louyue Sword and handed it to Yue Chen: "Let's put it in your place first. The Demon Cult wants to save Shao Qiu, so Shao Qiu's soul in my shell and the Louyue Sword are indispensable. The Louyue Sword is in your place." , in case I get caught, there is still room for things to change."

"Believe me so much?" Yue Chen took the sword: "You never doubted it today, what if I am really an internal agent of the Demon Cult?"

"Then you just handed me over to those two people from the Devil's Cult in the capital, and that's the end of the matter." Su Huai was still brooding over the fact that the sinking was a thousand faces: "I just couldn't figure it out, how could you grow taller out of thin air? A few centimeters, pretend to belong to another person."

"It's a bone shrinking technique." Yue Shen stretched upwards, the bones made a slight sound, and his height was raised by a few points: "The height of Qianmian is my normal state. When I take off the mask, I will become a little shorter. Anyway, 15 From the age of 20 to the age of [-], no one knows how much I have grown in the past five years."

"That is to say, when you were dressed as a thousand faces, you covered your appearance, and when you were heavier, you disguised your figure? No one has actually seen the real you now." Su Huai said.

"Yes, haven't you seen it before?" Yue Shen leaned closer to Su Huai, as if to make him look more carefully.

Su Huai looked indifferent: "Don't get so close to me, the thing that lied to me is not over yet, I'm just too lazy to talk to you for the time being."

As soon as Su Huai finished speaking, she was caught off guard by Yue Shen who came up to her and hugged her.

While in a daze, Su Huai heard Yue Shen say in a low voice: "Listen, I will pretend to be asleep later, if someone knocks on the door, no matter who it is, before you open the door. Don't stand too close to the door, with the sword on your body Don't be afraid, I will get up and help you right away."

"Are you suspecting that the insider should be someone we are familiar with? Su Huai suddenly realized, no wonder why Jing Chen was deliberately sent away in King Ning's room today.

Although I really don't want to think like this, but on the way here, it is Jing Chen who has the most opportunity to touch the remnants and poison them.

Su Huai sat nervously at the tea table, staring straight at the door.

"I found that when you hugged you just now, you didn't push me." After Yue Chen finished speaking, he teased Su Huai leisurely.

"When is it, are you still in the mood to care about this?" Su Huai froze for a moment, as if she didn't feel repulsed by Yue Shen's hug just now, or it was because after knowing that the other party was Qianmian, the previous sense of resistance disappeared. .He always seemed to have a strange sense of security with Qian Mian, but he didn't intend to tell the other party.

Yue Shen laughed loudly: "Don't be nervous, I lied to you, who is so stupid, come here in broad daylight, there are so many people in the yard. Besides, even if I do fall asleep, knocking on the door is enough to wake me up Be good, I'm going to sleep, it's fine if you don't leave the room."

Su Huai: ...are you poisonous?Still in the mood to play with me?

But Yue Shen said that he was joking about knocking on the door, but he suspected that Jing Chen should be real.It's just that it's not easy to tell King Ning about it, he obviously likes Jing Chen somewhat.

Still think about how to find the murderer.Su Huai tried hard to recall the criminal investigation dramas she had watched, but most of the crime-solving methods required the help of modern technology. Su Huai thought for a long time, and finally remembered in the corner of her memory that she seemed to have participated in a costume reasoning drama when she first debuted. , which also seems to have a theft.

Su Huai was so engrossed in his thoughts that it was already evening before he knew it. He got up from the bed after getting enough sleep, saw Su Huai who was still sitting at the table in a daze, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I thought of a way to find out the murderer." Seeing that she was getting more and more awake, Su Huai told him the way she had been thinking about all afternoon.

"Well, you can give it a try." Yue Shen nodded.

"It's time to clean up your crimes, why don't you look happy at all." Su Huai was puzzled: "Speaking of which, when I was wronged before, I didn't see how anxious you were. If I was wronged like this, I would definitely be so angry that I couldn't sleep .”

"Because I'm more curious about his motive than who the murderer is," Yue Shen said.

"Didn't the Devil's Cult blame you so that I could be arrested and provoke the relationship between Tianjianmen and Minghe Villa at the same time?" Su Huai was puzzled, isn't the motive clear?

"It's not that simple." Yue Shen shook his head.

"Is this simple?" Su Huai didn't understand.

"If the murderer is really Jing Chen, the Demon Sect is the Holy Sect of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and this Tanhualang is only seventeen years old, and he is the youngest Jinshi in the dynasty. Besides, he is from a scholarly family and his family is clean. He has a bright future. Don't, isn't it strange to abandon the family and obey the orders of the Demon Cult?"

"Is that Jing Chen?" Su Huai said in distress, he didn't want it to be the other party.

There was a bit of connivance in Yue Shen's eyes: "Whether it is or not, do what you want, and leave the rest to me."

Su Huai hesitated again and again, but still felt that Yue Chen should not be allowed to take the blame for nothing, even if the murderer had the ability to make everyone pretend to be stupid, at least he should get Yue Chen out of this matter.

Before dinner, Su Huai told Liang Shujin the solution he came up with, and after dinner, Liang Shujin gathered everyone in the front hall.

After everyone arrived, Liang Shujin ordered the disciples of Minghe Academy to bring boxes of ice cubes and put them in front of the guests.This box is very strange, there is only a round opening for one hand to put in, and the side facing the front is half empty, and the ice cubes inside can be seen.

"Master Su just remembered an important clue. He sent an ancient scroll page of the master. In order to prevent the ancient scroll from rotting, the grass juice of Xuanshuang grass was applied. Even after the grass juice dries up, it is still easy to get on The skin cannot be washed, so it can only wait for ten days and a half months to let it dissolve naturally. It has only been five days since the Heavenly Sword started, and the Xuanshuang grass juice on the hands of the poisoned person must have not been completely dissipated. And the Xuanshuang grass Turns blue on contact with ice."

Liang Shujin took out the ancient scroll and put his index finger on the ice cube. The index finger soon showed a blue luster: "Even a small amount of Xuanshuang grass juice will have such an effect."

"So what Liang Shaoxia means is that whoever's finger turns blue here is the one who poisoned him!"

"That's not right. If the murderer is Yue Shen, of course he can say that he touched the fragmented scroll to hold a gift."

Liang Shujin interrupted everyone's discussion: "Master Su said that if no one's fingers change color, then Minghe Villa will be sentenced to a heavier crime, and he has nothing to say. Now, please put your hands in the ice box. Take a peek, and I will check whether your hands have changed color one by one."

Everyone stretched their hands into the box as they said, touching the ice cubes.Liang Shujin looked over one by one, and finally stopped in front of Jing Chen: "Young Master, if I remember correctly, you are a retainer of His Highness King Ning?"

"I, it's impossible, my hand hasn't changed color." Jing Chen stretched out his hand from the box in a panic, and it was still the original fair complexion.

"Yeah, your hands haven't changed color." Liang Shujin's voice cooled down: "But other people's hands have changed color. Well, everyone, you can take out your fingers, don't panic, Xuanshuang grass juice is used for dinner On the bowl, I have confirmed with my own eyes that everyone has touched the bowl, so, my son, should I explain why only your fingers have not changed color?"

"What do you mean? The murderer is Jing Chen?" Yan Tianrui looked at Jing Chen in disbelief: "Impossible, he is only 17 years old, and he is timid. How could he do such a thing. Besides, he is a scholar. Tan Hua, who was hand-picked by the emperor, has no grievances or enmities with everyone in the martial arts, so how could he do something poisonous?"

"Since he didn't poison it? Then why didn't he dare to touch the ice just now?" Liang Shujin asked back.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that the fragments of the scroll had not been coated with Xuanshuang grass juice at all. Liang Shujin was using the guilty conscience of the poisoner to find him out of the crowd.

"I heard that you are still a talent? You don't want a good reputation, but you have to collude with the Devil's Cult!" Several Yangzhou officials showed contemptuous expressions.

"You guys don't know. This young man has a big heart. He offended several adults in the cabinet as soon as he entered the court, and his fame was almost cut off." An old minister who knew the inside story said strangely.

"Xuanshuang Grass Juice? It's kind of ingenious, you know something so unorthodox?" Yue Shen asked Su Huai in a low voice.

"I just told Liang Shujin a story. When a person was investigating a case, he said that he had a bell and could identify thieves. Whoever touched the bell and the clock rang was a thief. Everyone touched the bell, but of course the bell didn't ring. The person who investigated the case had already smeared ink on the clock, and whoever didn't have ink on his hands would be a thief. Brother Liang probably thought that the polygraph clock was too fake to fool the murderer, so he thought of the Xuanshuangcao, which was more suitable for the situation. "

"Jingchen, you really...why? Is this king treating you well? Why do you want to help people from the Demon Sect?"

"My lord treats me very well, but Jing Chen..." Jing Chen lowered his head, tears dripped on the ground, and slowly fainted.

Yan Tianrui just felt his heart tightening. He squatted down and supported Jing Chen's shoulder: "Is someone threatening you? Tell me, don't be afraid."

"Your Highness..." When Jing Chen raised his head, there were still wet tears on his face.

"Dangerous!" Yue Shen felt something was wrong when Yan Tianrui squatted down, but it was a pity that it was still a step too late.I saw Jing Chen's fingers struck Yan Tianrui's throat like lightning, and clasped him tightly. His other hand went around Yan Tianrui's waist, and hugged him from behind.

After succeeding, Jingchen's mouth curled up into a smile, and he whispered into Yan Tianrui's ear, "No one threatened me, I was originally a member of the Devil's Cult."

The author has something to say: Note: This method comes from the story of "Statement of the Ancient Braid Bandit" in "Mengxi Bi Tan".
