Chapter 9 The Secret Room
"Huh?" Liang Yue was surprised when he heard the sound.
Have your criminal department handled the case so hastily?
Looking at Ling Yuanbao's excited expression of finding the real murderer, he hurriedly explained: "I did bring my brother to meet Master Zhen just now, but he was reasonable and didn't care about my brother. The dispute with his son let us leave after a few words. It was just some conflicts between the juniors. Why did we kill Mr. Zhen? "
"No one cares about what happened in the study. It's clear, but if you are the last to leave this study and no one can come in after that, you are definitely the most suspicious." Ling Yuanbao held his chin in his hand and thought seriously, "As long as the Zhen family doesn't lie, then it's almost impossible. There is no other possibility.”
"Wait..." Liang Yue raised his hand to stop her thinking.
If he was not a party involved, thinking from the perspective of reasoning, he might also come to such a conclusion.
Zhen Xiaohao, who was kneeling in the courtyard, acted as a monitor to ensure that no one had entered or exited the main entrance since they left; and the windows in the study were tightly closed and fastened, and had not been opened by violence, indicating that there were no warriors He broke in through the broken window; but the five-spirited dog did not smell any scent, which meant that there was no evil spirit or qigong master using his magical powers.
With all possibilities eliminated, it seems that the remaining one is the only answer, and the two brothers who left at the end are the murderers!
But he is the party involved.
He knew clearly that Zhen Changzhi was still alive when the two left!
"Captain Ling, can you let me take a look at the scene." Liang Yue took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I understand your suspicions, but my brothers really have no motive for killing Master Zhen, let me check After a look at the scene, we might be able to find clues that prove our innocence."
"What do you mean?" Ling Yuanbao looked at him with an evil look, "Are you doubting the ability of our Criminal Department?"
< br>"Yes." Liang Yue nodded.
The current situation looks very bad. If we don't work hard, the brothers may be taken away for investigation. This person who died was a sixth-grade official, and it was a big deal that needed to be heard by Datian. If the emperor puts some pressure on the Ministry of Punishment, maybe the Ministry of Punishment can find the real culprit, what methods will it use...
So now that he had the opportunity, he still wanted to investigate the case himself to see if he could find any useful clues.
"Eh?" Ling Yuanbao stared, not expecting that the other party would admit it so frankly and openly express his contempt for him, and he suddenly became a little angry.
Are you a little too calm?
"Hahaha, we Imperial Guards must respect the Ministry of Punishment. But since Captain Ling wants to take away my brother, we must be convinced." Following a loud laugh, a generous smile The figure flashed out of the door.
At the critical moment, Hu Tiehan, the junior guard stationed in Fukangfang, finally arrived.
"Brother Hu..." Liang Yue looked over.
Although Hu Tiehan is always said to be petty and so on, in front of outsiders, he is definitely a protector and will not give up his subordinate brothers easily. The other party arrived in time, which also gave Liang Yue a little more confidence.
"Hey." Hu Tiehan waved his hand, indicating that he should not panic, and continued: "Liang Yue is the youngest and most promising guard in our station. He just captured a Nine Martingale spy. Son. You can't just take away such a talented person who has made great achievements. We have to let our Imperial Guards investigate and deal with it." "Has he captured Jiu Yang's spy?" Looking at Liang Yue again, he was slightly surprised.
The four words Jiu Yang Spy are of great significance in today's Yin Dynasty. Anyone who can accomplish such a feat should be looked at with a different eye.
"If Capt. Ling doesn't believe it, you can go to Zhuxie Yamen and ask." Hu Tiehan said.
"Okay." Ling Yuanbao turned around, got out of the way, stretched out his hand and said: "Then you are allowed to come in and observe, but you are not allowed to destroy any evidence, otherwise I will arrest you immediately Take you down!"
Liang Yue nodded gently, and then stepped into the study seriously.
......
This was the second time he entered this room. When he came just now, he never imagined that he would be involved in such a thing.
His eyes began to wander up and down the study, observing every item.
There is nothing interesting to see outside. The furnishings and the wall are still the same, and they look the same as when they came here.
Under the guard of several detectives from the Criminal Department, he opened the bead curtain again and saw Zhen Changzhi's body and the crime scene.
The corpse’s eyeballs protruded, bloodshot eyes burst, and their eyes were filled with fear. There were soft purple marks on the neck, obviously the real cause of death was not hanging.
The rope for the suspension beam is a piece of gold and red silk. It looks like a very luxurious fabric, and the quality is indeed good.
There is a book on the table. When he came here before, Zhen Changzhi was reading a letter and then covered it with the book, which seemed to be very secretive. Liang Yue stepped forward and saw the book "Illustration of the Construction of the Tower of Babel" written on it. He wanted to take the book away and look underneath, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard a thud.
Ling Yuanbao raised his palm horizontally, the scabbard spun in the air and then hit the table, saying: "Don't touch anything."
"I won't move." Liang Yue smiled and said, "Then please take away this book, Mr. Ling."
Ling Yuanbao stepped forward and removed the book, only to see that it was empty below.
The letter is missing.
Liang Yue has a doubt in his mind, but the important thing now is not this, but who was Zhen Changzhi killed?
If the current situation is correct, then after they left, the study became a secret room. If you want to crack it, it's easiest to start from around the secret room.
If Zhen Xiaohao lied...
It is unlikely. It concerns the most important father. Even if he has a grudge against Liang Peng, he will not forcefully frame him unless the murderer is himself.
He was beaten today and will be made to kneel down when he comes back. In such a strict family atmosphere, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen.
But...
Liang Yue glanced at Zhen Xiaohao, whose face was purple due to excessive sadness and looked like he was about to carry him away. He shook his head, not to mention whether he had the courage. . Even Liang Peng couldn't beat him, and he definitely didn't have the ability to kill his father.
Crushing a person's throat bone with one finger without damaging the flesh requires extremely strong control of energy, which even a first-level warrior like Liang Yue cannot achieve that easily.
The murderer is most likely to have a higher level of cultivation than himself.
So there is no problem at the front entrance, but the problem occurs at the windows?
The window bolt is intact and there is absolutely no damage. The Zhen family was the first to enter here, so it is impossible to secretly hang the window bolt.
Liang Yue lowered his body and observed the details of the window lattice. After looking around carefully, he looked down at the footprints on the ground. It's a pity that too many people entered from front to back, and the dust marks on the ground have been destroyed.
"Alas..."
Liang Yue sighed. He still couldn't ask for too much from people in this era, even professional members of the Ministry of Justice.
As if being pulled by a thread, he kept bending down and looking at the ground. Then he opened the bead curtain and came to the outside. Finally he straightened up and looked up at the roof above.
Then.
Liang Yue suddenly smiled in relief.
Ling Yuanbao looked at him sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling, and thought he was frightened to the point of losing his energy, so he whispered in a gentler tone: "If you really can't find any clues, just follow us first Go back and accept the investigation, don't waste time here. Believe me, if you are really innocent, the Criminal Department will never misjudge you."
"No need," Liang Yue waved his hand and stared above. "I already know how the murderer committed the crime."
"Oh?" The eyes of everyone present immediately gathered around.
"Huh?" Ling Yuanbao blinked blankly.
You just walked around like this, what do you know?
"Since the two of us left, Zhen Xiaohao has indeed not seen anyone coming or going in and out of the front door. This should be true..." He murmured: "All the windows in the house are closed tightly, and there is no external force to open them. , there are no demons or qigong practitioners... This study is a complete secret room."
"What happened here was a secret room murder case."
Liang Yue turned around and faced everyone with a loud voice and raised his finger: "There is only one truth! He is the one who let the murderer in!"
He had insomnia again when he started working, and he didn't sleep well in the past two days. , I didn’t fall asleep until after five o’clock the day before. However, in order to keep the update stable and not want to run out of time to save the manuscript so early, I still insisted on coding two chapters in a daze.
I will continue to persist and work hard until I am moved!
(The tearful brothers can vote and kowtow.)
