Chapter 18 Loyalty is like a treacherous

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The detectives of Ducha Temple, as well as the attendants brought by Li Yifu, as well as the Lord Bo Cheng Daozhi, all looked at Li Yifu, Pei Lian, and Su Dawei with nervous expressions.

No matter how dull a person is, he can see that there is something strange between these three people.

But what's strange is there, and I can't say it for a while.

Looking at the three of them, they seemed to be laughing.

But this smile makes people have a terrible feeling of chills behind them.

"Well, if you want to help, here in Dali Temple, I naturally have to work hard, but right now, what I need most is to borrow the head of the Chinese Book Order."

Groov!

Li Yifu's smile froze, almost suspecting that his ears had misheard.

He stared at Su Dawei: "What did Su Siqing say?" I'm afraid my ears are not good. ”

Pei Lian's face turned pale with fright, and he said on the side: "Su Siqing must have said something wrong, don't worry, think about it." ”

"I'm not wrong."

Su Dawei smiled and leaned forward slightly: "I said that I want to borrow the Chinese book to make your smart head use, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to close the case tomorrow by my own strength." ”

After saying this, there was silence for a moment, and Li Yifu finally laughed again: "Borrow my head? ”

Pei Lian wiped his sweat on the side: "Su Siqing means to borrow the wisdom of Zhongshu Ling to help solve the case." ”

Su Dawei laughed and patted Pei Lian: "Those who know me, Pei Siqing also." ”

Pei Lian laughed with him.

But that smile is not much better than crying.

Many years ago, when Su Dawei was a bad person, the biggest official who could contact Dali Temple was Li Siwen, the secretary of Dali Temple.

Hurried years.

He can now talk to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he can also pat Dali Siqing on the shoulder and tell jokes.

This change is not insignificant.

Li Yifu smiled, with a faint edge in his eyes.

How could he not hear the irony in Su Dawei's words.

Clearly laid out the red. Bare. Naked hostility.

But he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he will not be provoked by Su Dawei.

The angrier you are, the calmer your mind becomes.

"Su Siqing wants me to help analyze it and come up with ideas?"

"Exactly."

Su Dawei nodded with a smile: "With the guidance of the Chinese book, it is easy to solve this case." ”

Lao Tzu ignored Dali Siqing, and nailed you Li Yifu to death.

This kind of situation is also something that Li Yifu never expected.

In front of Li Zhi that day, if he knew that Su Dawei was so difficult, he was afraid that he would think twice.

will not easily provoke this Su Dawei.

It's just that the matter has come to this, and even if there are a thousand thoughts in my heart, I have to fool the past before I talk about it.

"Since Su Siqing asked, then I will say a few words casually, the old man is not from a case-solving background, and he may not be as good at handling cases as Su Siqing, so in the end, it still depends on Su Siqing himself."

Li Yifu stroked his beard, the light in his eyes moved slightly, and he said a pun.

Su Dawei bowed his hand to him and said: "Zhongshu Ling is too modest, when he is the prime minister, his vision and knowledge must be higher than ours, and he is willing to hear it in detail." ”

Li Yifu was secretly angry in his heart: Little fox, if you really grab the old man, you won't let go! It's like a maggot attached to a bone.

His heart was angry, but he still had a kind smile on his face, but the light in his eyes flashed, revealing his cunning.

"What Su Siqing said before, the clues of the fugitive slave cannot be checked for the time being, so did Su Dudu think about this case from another angle?"

"Please give me some advice."

"No matter who is behind the scenes, his target is you, so there is a natural connection between you and him.

You and the person behind the curtain are like the two sides of the scale.

Since there are no clues from the dead man, why doesn't Su Siqing think about himself and think about who around him has this motive?

Who else could have done such a thing to Su Siqing. ”

Hey?

Su Dawei looked at Li Yifu, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame.

Li Yifu, as a traitor, minister, and opportunist of the Li Zhi Dynasty, has a unique vision.

What he said is indeed another angle to solve the case.

Maybe you can actually cut in from here and find new clues.

Su Dawei's heart flashed, he stood up and saluted Li Yifu with his crossed hands: "Thank you for the Zhongshu order, I have been greatly taught." ”

"Su Siqing is polite."

Li Yifu stroked his beard with a smile and accepted him calmly.

"In terms of solving the case, Su Siqing is the world's famous detective, Li, but he can do some lip service."

After speaking, Li Yifu stood up, nodded to Su Dawei and said: "This official is busy with official business, so he will stay for a short time, if there is any difficulty in solving this case, he needs the advice of this official, Su Siqing only needs to come to me, if you need the cooperation of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the county government, Su Siqing can only contact Pei Lian and others, and everything has me." ”

When he said this, the atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

If it weren't for Su Dawei's deep knowledge that this person was treacherous and cunning like a fox, he would have really been deceived by his appearance.

"Okay, Su Siqing is responsible for solving the case, so you don't have to send it, please stay."

Su Dawei stood at the door of the Ducha Temple Mansion, looking at Li Yifu, who had an excellent demeanor, accompanied by his attendants, stepped into the sedan chair and walked away, his brows were tightly locked for a while, and he was a little suspicious in his heart.

This Li Yifu, when he left at the end, he spoke very measuredly, and he was quite open-minded and graceful.

You must know that at the previous moment, Su Dawei was still mocking him and trying to provoke him.

As a result, Li Yifu not only didn't think it was wrong, but finally really provided Su Dawei with feasible ideas, as if he was sincerely helping him solve the case.

Su Dawei shook his head secretly, and for the first time he was a little skeptical of his judgment.

Li Yifu is a traitor, the impression of a powerful minister, and the perception of later generations brought to him.

But who knows what kind of person he really is?

Is it loyalty like treachery, or is it treacherous like loyalty?

Forget it, if you want to do all this superfluous, let's solve the case in front of you first, and then deal with the grievances with Li Yifu.

Su Dawei raised his head and said a few more words to Pei Lian and Cheng Daozhi of Dali Temple, and the two sides went back to their own mansions.

Tang Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

I don't know how many things I have to deal with every day, and how can I have so much time to spare.

Su Dawei returned to his public office and sat down at the table.

Li Bo quietly walked up and whispered to Su Dawei: "Siqing, how did you talk about it?" ”

Su Dawei shook his head and didn't speak.

Gao Dahu held a wooden plate on the side and said, "Siqing hasn't finished lunch yet, do you want to eat some flax cakes?" It's just a little cold. ”

"Let's take it first, let me be alone for a while, I want to sort out my thoughts." 85

"Whoa."

Li Bo and Gao Dahu didn't say more, and retreated to their respective busyness.

Su Dawei picked up a pen and paper, and according to the habit of inferring the facts of the case in the past, he first drew a dot on the paper.

Use this as a starting point to make your own mind map.

Fugitive slave dead, Wang Qilang, a descendant of the Wang family, Xishi dentist shop, dentist Xu Qingwang.

It's a line.

This line is currently locked.

Then another line, on yourself.

Li Yifu was right.

Think about who has an enmity with you and who has the need to do so.

After a moment of silence, Su Dawei slowly wrote a congratulatory word on the paper.

Helan Minzhi.

Over the years, although Su Dawei has offended a lot of people, there has only been one time before when he really wanted to assassinate him.

It is Helan Minzhi and Ming Chongyan.

Could it be this group of people this time?

Not sure.

But it's a direction of thinking.

You can try to find it in this direction.

Will there be anyone else besides Helan Minzhi?

If there is, Guo Xingzhen, the Taoist priest he met that day, may be one.

But the truth with Guo Xing was at the banquet set up by Wu Meiniang.

The assassination had already taken place by then.

Therefore, before the assassination, Su Dawei had not met Guo Xingzhen, and it was unlikely that the two would have a feud.

It is unlikely that Guo Xingzhen will set up a game to deal with people he hasn't seen yet.

After all the calculations, it is still Helan Minzhi who is the most suspicious.

Could it really be him?

Su Dawei bit the tip of his pen, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

recalled that day at the banquet, in front of the crown prince, Helan Minzhi once again showed faint hostility towards himself.

"Siqing!"

The tall tiger hurriedly walked into the public hall, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

It seems to be a surprise, but it also seems to be a doubt.

Su Dawei put down the pen in his hand, and casually held the paper he had just scribbled in his hand and turned it into powder.

"What?"

The tall tiger just went down, and now he runs back, there must be something important.

"Siqing, there is new progress in that case!"

"Really?"

"One of our snakeheads in the West Market just reported that he saw the arsonist."

"Where is this man now?"

"Right outside, Lord Bo is recording his testimony."

"Then I'll finish recording later, and hand over the person and the record file to me."

"Yes."

Su had a faint hint of joy in her heart.

If the person who burns the dentist's shop is caught, then the line of fugitive slaves can be connected again.

This is a major piece of good news for cracking this case.

When the real mountains and rivers are full of doubts, there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

After saying this, Su Dawei saw that Gao Dahu was still standing and did not move, and asked in surprise: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, there's one thing that I think is bizarre, but I still have to report it to you."

"What?"

"That poison ...... The poison hidden in the teeth of the fugitive slave was examined by the doctor of Ducha Temple, and it was determined that it was a kind of red snake venom, and this poison was not available in the medicine shops in Chang'an. ”

"Well, go on."

"Just now, the doctor said that he had found out where the venom came from."

"Where?"

"Yes......"

Gao Dahu hesitated: "It is said to be in the palace." ”

"In the palace?"

Su Dawei's complexion changed slightly.

The poison of the assassin's suicide originated in the palace?

The complexity of the implication in this assassination is inevitably a little too terrifying, far beyond Su Dawei's expectations.

"It is one of the medicinal materials specially collected by the palace for the prince's treatment, and it is said that it is used for the alchemy of that Guo Xingzhen Taoist."

"Huh? Guo Xingzhen. ”

Su Dawei stood up for Huo Ran.

In front of the table, I walked back and forth a few steps.

Now, he has a feeling of enlightenment.

But there is another kind of fog that covers the eyes, and you can't see the true face of Lushan.

After going around in a circle, the final suspicion still falls on Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen?

If you want to assassinate yourself the most, the most likely person in Chang'an is Helan Minzhi.

But the poison of the dead is related to Guo Xingzhen.

He and Guo Xingzhen have no grievances in the past, what motive does he have to do such a thing?

Be a fool for one's pains.

It's counterintuitive.

But wait.

If you want to go deeper.

The assassination of the fugitive slave was more of a reminder than an assassination.

Except to provoke him Su Dawei, it is useless.

Does that mean that the people behind the scenes have other goals?

Not to kill Su Dawei, but for what?
