Chapter 45: Progress
Su Dawei raised his head, saw the tall tiger in front of him, covered in dust, sweating profusely, and nodded: "It's hard, what did you find?" ”
"Nan Jiulang and I went to Jinghe and found the boundary that the ghost old man said, and then, Jiulang found this."
Gao Dahu said, took out a box made of glass from his arms, opened the lid, and saw many small green leaves, as small as beans.
Su Dawei suddenly moved in his heart at a glance.
"It's the same."
"Yes, it's the same as what you found in Princess Gaoyang."
Gao Dahu thought for a while and said: "But I have found a person who is good at scene investigation and repeatedly confirmed that Princess Gaoyang and that Cui Lian, where the body was found, there was no trace of movement, and it is certain that they were killed at home." ”
Su Dawei's gaze fell on the box in Gao Dahu's hand, staring at the green duckweed.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
This case, what is mastered and behind it, makes people think about it carefully.
Princess Gaoyang was killed at home, but her lungs showed symptoms of drowning, and she also had duckweed in the Jing River outside Chang'an City in her nose.
It's hard to explain this.
Cui Lian, on the other hand, died at home, his whole body was charred, but he did not make any calls, there was no trace of struggle, and there was no trace of fire at the scene.
Except for himself, everything seemed normal.
This normality is the biggest abnormality.
"By the way, Siqing, Jiulang and I searched for Tu in the Jinghe River, and we also fished this up, but I didn't understand what it was for, so I specially retrieved it for Siqing to see."
Gao Dahu said, and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, which is usually filled with some sundries.
But in his cloth bag, there were faint wet marks, and there was only one thing in it.
When it was opened and placed on Su Dawei's table, Su Dawei was stunned for a moment.
It is a delicately made doll doll.
Clothes, hair, facial features are all lifelike.
Its delicacy is better than that of dolls in later generations.
Su Dawei said: "This was found in the river?" ”
"Yes, I'm searching the river with people to see if there's anything like the ghost said, or Jiulang's sharp eyes saw this doll floating on the river at a glance, and strange to say, this doll has been swirling in the river, as if it was sucked by the undercurrent.
We got a long rod and managed to get it up.
It was in the hair of this doll that these plants were found. ”
Well?
Su Dawei frowned, feeling a little strange.
He looked down at the doll's hair.
It's as black as a waterfall, like the texture of real human hair.
This is rare.
There are also shops selling dolls in Chang'an West City, which generally use horsehair or wool to make doll hair, and the texture is still a little different from human hair.
Su Dawei looked at it two more times, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.
The doll's eyes seem to move, and no matter what angle you look at, your pupils seem to be staring at people.
And......
Su Dawei's heart sank, he reached out and tried the doll's hair, and twisted it gently: "This is not animal hair, but a human being." ”
"Human?"
Gao Dahu was also taken aback.
Since ancient times, the body has been skinned and received by its parents.
What kind of person would take their own hair to make hair for such a doll?
Unless......
"Witch Gu?"
When Gao Dahu said these three words, he felt that his voice was trembling.
He understands the stakes.
"Big Tiger, don't you think, this doll ......?"
Su Dawei hesitated for a moment and said, "She looks a little like Princess Gaoyang." ”
"Yes, it's a little."
Gao Dahu licked his lips: "But I didn't dare to think about it." ”
Su Dawei stood up, stretched out his hand to pick up the doll, and put it into the cloth bag of Gao Dahu: "You take a few people now, take your work, and immediately follow me to Princess Gaoyang's mansion." ”
"What do you do? Haven't you tested them all? ”
"I suspect that this hair is on Princess Gaoyang's head, and it needs to be verified again, if this is the case, this case is not something we can handle, and we have to go out of the secret pavilion."
Strange things involved in mysteries are naturally handed over to professionals.
If he can kick this ball to Li Chunfeng, the pressure on Su Dawei will be slightly less.
You can concentrate on dealing with the secret hands from Li Yiye and Guo Xingzhen.
As for whether Li Chunfeng will scold because of this, that is another question.
For the time being, it is not in Su Dawei's consideration.
"Okay, I'll gather the men now."
Gao Dahu wiped the sweat on his head, this time it was not hot on the road, but a cold sweat from fright.
The dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty, the pearl of Taizong, was murdered.
If it also involves the matter of witchcraft, I am afraid that countless heads will fall to the ground and blood will flow like a river.
"That's right, Siqing."
As soon as Gao Dahu turned around, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Su Dawei: "The eighth master said that there may be something in those ashes, and he transferred Jiulang to help." ”
"Was Cui Lian's case yesterday?"
Su Dawei nodded: "Got it." ”
Nan Jiulang is also old and bad now, reliable in his work, and has a pair of outstanding eyes, which is his advantage.
When Gao Dahu mentioned this, he told Su Dawei that he would go to Gao Yang in a while, and Jiulang would not be able to bring it.
……
Su Dawei took Shen Yuan, Gao Dahu and a group of agents from Ducha Temple, and informed Bo Cheng Dao, the master of Dali Temple, and took the servants of Dali Temple to Princess Gaoyang's mansion.
Originally, he didn't have to bring it to Dali Temple every time to investigate the case, but he was a little suspicious of the princess case, after all, he had seen Princess Gaoyang in the end.
Although it was at the invitation of Princess Gaoyang, she sent "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" to the princess, but she was a little suspicious after all.
Solving the case is also to clear one's own suspicions.
Therefore, it is necessary to bring the people of Dali Temple to act together to prove his innocence.
On the way, Su Dawei talked to Cheng Daozhi about the latest discovery.
Cheng Daozhi was also taken aback.
If it is really as Su Dawei said, this matter is someone who cursed the princess, then it will be even more serious.
Can you curse the princess, but you can't curse others?
Will it threaten Your Majesty?
These are things that need not be spoken.
Thinking of this, Cheng Daozhi's face darkened.
"Su Shaoqing, we are really miserable this time, how did we encounter such a bizarre case. If it is an ordinary murder, it is just that, this case involves both the princess and the witch...... Alas, this year's journey has been really difficult. ”
Cheng Daozhi sighed there for a long time, frowning.
Finally rushed to the princess's mansion, and when he raised his eyes, Su Dawei, Gao Dahu, Cheng Daozhi and others were immediately taken aback.
Originally, the princess's mansion was heavily guarded, and there were at least two teams of Jinwu guarding it, but now there are only two people guarding the door.
And the seal on the door has been torn off.
The previous seal was pasted by Dali Temple, and after Su Dawei saw it for them last time, it was re-sealed with the seal of Dali Temple.
Except for Dali Temple, idlers are not allowed to enter.
But now, the seal on the door is gone.
Cheng Daozhi hurriedly stepped forward and paused: "Who opened the seal?" ”
"It's the temple secretary of Zongzheng Temple, Li Pixuan."
The person guarding the door said: "The people of Zongzheng Temple, on the order of the temple qing, came to arrange the princess's funeral." ”
"What?!"
Cheng Daozhi was taken aback: "Princess...... Where is the princess's body? ”
"It has been carried away by the people of Zongzheng Temple, saying that it will stink if it is released again, and it must be arranged to pay tribute and put it into the ground for peace."
"Ridiculous, this case is still under investigation in Dali Temple, and the murderer has not been found yet, how can the aftermath be arranged."
"This is the meaning of Zongzheng Temple, they are royal relatives, how dare we stop them."
Zhi Jingo whispered.
Cheng Daozhi was so angry that he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He turned to look at Su Dawei, and said almost in despair: "Shaoqing, look ......"
"Go to the Sect."
Su Dawei did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Go to Zongzheng Temple to find someone." ”
Strictly speaking, it should be a corpse.
A look of struggle appeared on Cheng Daozhi's face: "But...... Zongzheng Temple, Li Pixuan......"
Zongzheng Temple, equivalent to the Zongren Mansion in later generations.
In this yamen, all members of the royal family are headed by people with high moral standing in the royal family, specializing in handling various matters within the royal family.
Including the aftermath of the princesses and princes.
"Let's talk about it."
Su Dawei didn't hold it in his heart.
But when the case is found on this, you can't let it go.
He was with Li Zhi, and he still had a military order for a month and a half.
Before he found enough evidence to dump the pot on Li Chunfeng, he really couldn't relax for a moment.
It was noon, and the entire team that solved the case did not enter the water for most of the day.
Hungry in the stomach.
Su Dawei could only take everyone and buy some flax cakes in the Lujian shop for everyone to make do.
Hurry while eating.
Zongzheng Temple has now been relocated to the Daming Palace, and this matter must alarm Li Zhi.
While looking for someone from Zongzheng Temple, he had to let someone pass a word to the palace.
But who should I look for?
As he walked, he thought about it, and suddenly thought again.
Li Yifu's intention in finding the Wang family.
Does Li Yifu really need the power of the Wang family?
The Wang family no longer occupies the central real power in the court, and they are all Qing officials, such as the counselor.
It's okay to make a sound, but nothing else is going to work.
Li Yifu is looking for the Wang family to deal with himself, what kind of charter is it?
Perhaps, he knew that he had been to Wang's house before and was kicked out by Wang Shao and Uncle Wang Mao.
But he didn't know that he still had the relationship between King Luo Bin and Wang Bo.
Li Yifu probably lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thinking that the Wang family would never leak this matter.
But I didn't think that the Wang family was not a little white rabbit, and the family could be inherited from the Qin period to the present, becoming a big family, and having its own way of survival.
Li Yifu was really smooth, and it was a little floating.
If you want to enter the palace, it is inconvenient for Gao Dahu and the others to enter, so they can only wait outside the door.
Su Dawei has a goldfish talisman, and Cheng Daozhi has a silverfish talisman, so you can go in without hindrance.
Looking for the eunuch guarding the door and Jin Wuwei asked for directions, and asked a eunuch to lead the way, Su Dawei dragged Cheng Daozhi, who was complaining, and went straight to Zongzheng Temple.
Cheng Daozhi was 10,000 unwilling in his heart to go to face Li Pixuan of Zongzheng Temple.
This person is the elder of the Li clan.
The generation is one generation higher than Li Zhi, and that is the person who Emperor Taizong has to shout uncle when he sees it.
Su Dawei and Cheng Daozhi, in front of others, I am afraid that they are not qualified to speak.
Isn't it self-inflicted humiliation to go away?
Although he was reluctant in his heart, Su Dawei grabbed him, but he couldn't shirk it.
At this time, it became clear that Su Dawei asked Li Zhi for the benefits of the official position of Dali Temple.
People have the duties of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Bo Cheng Daozhi, the master of Dali Temple, has to obediently accept his fate.
