Chapter 926 for the purpose.

Ye Xing glanced at everyone, and then said: "Since the other people who have entered the warehouse have been excluded, then in the end, only Gonggong Li is left, the warehouse is heavily guarded, I think it should be impossible for others to enter quietly, right?" ”

When Ye Xing said this, Gonggong Li's face was already ugly, and at this time, Zhu Di looked at Gonggong Li and said angrily: "Little Lizi, did you hide this blue blood exquisite pearl?" ”

Gonggong Li wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Ye Xing continued: "When the blue blood exquisite pearl is hidden, it should be the time when the emperor asked Gonggong Li to go to the warehouse to take it for everyone to enjoy, at that time, the dusk is over, and the warehouse has not yet been lit, but it is not too dark, after Gonggong Li entered the warehouse, he poured the ink prepared in advance into a vase, and then put the blue blood exquisite pearl into the vase to cover its edge, after doing so, Gonggong Li ran out in a panic, pretending that the blue blood exquisite pearl was missing, this is indeed very smart, It's a pity that Gonggong Li didn't think about it well, and there were only a few people who entered the warehouse, and after eliminating them one by one, only Gonggong Li was left. ”

After Ye Xing finished speaking, Gonggong Li had nothing to say and had to admit his guilt, because in the process of solving the case, there are many situations that the murderer cannot refute, such as the evidence is conclusive, such as the murderer was arrested on the spot during the murder, if all possibilities have been ruled out, and in the end only the murderer remains.

Now Father-in-law Li's situation belongs to a third party, and everyone else who entered the warehouse has been ruled out of suspicion, only Father-in-law Li cannot eliminate suspicion, so even if Father-in-law Li quibbles, even if he doesn't admit it, it's useless.

Zhu Di looked at Gonggong Li and asked, "Little Lizi, why are you doing this, if you are willing to say it, maybe I will spare your life!" ”

But at this time, Xiao Lizi hesitated, and finally said: "The slave covets the blue blood exquisite pearl, so he wants to hide it first, and then find an opportunity to take it, that's it." ”

Things are already like this, although Zhu Di is a little angry, but after all, the blue blood exquisite pearl has been found, and the thief has also been found, how angry can he be when he is angry?

Xiao Lizi was pulled out and put in prison, Ye Xing asked Zhu Di to release the guard commander Wei Yifeng, now that Wei Yifeng is innocent, there is naturally no need to continue to lock it up, Zhu Di agreed to Ye Xing's request, because it was getting late, and the task of releasing Wei Yifeng was handed over to Ye Xing.

When everyone left the imperial study, it was late, the moon hung high in the sky, and the cool breeze blew, which made people feel refreshed.

On the way out of the palace, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, said to Ye Xing: "Thank you King Daming for not telling the origin of the blue blood exquisite pearl, otherwise it will be miserable." ”

Ye Xing smiled faintly: "What is the origin of the Blue Blood Exquisite Pearl, wasn't it bought by Cheng Guogong from a Western Regions trader?" ”

Everyone is a smart person, so they naturally understand what Ye Xing means by this.

It's just that after Ye Xing said this, his heart was very uncomfortable, logically speaking, that Mu Weiming was indeed a little wronged, and was threatened by Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to sell his family property, but now the blue blood exquisite pearl has reached the emperor's hands, and it can be seen that the emperor likes that pearl very much, at this time, do you want Ye Xing to stand up for Mu Weiming and let Zhu Di give the blue blood exquisite pearl to Mu Weiming?

This is simply impossible, saying more will only embarrass the emperor and make Mu Weiming suffer unnecessary difficulties.

After leaving the palace, Ye Xing parted ways with Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhu Yong went to Xingyuan to continue to rest, while Ye Xing went to the prefect's prison with Hua Zhimeng and released Wei Yifeng.

At this time, there was still a light in the mansion, but it was already very faint, and the two guards were drowsy, but when they heard Ye Xing's name and the emperor's order, they hurriedly led them into the mansion and went to inform the mansion Yin Lord Shi Santong.

Originally, Ye Xing could have waited until tomorrow to inform about the release of Wei Yifeng, but Ye Xing knew the discomfort in the prison, and he also knew that Wei Yifeng wanted to come out quickly, if he could let people be free earlier, then why postpone it?

Shi Santong seemed to have fallen asleep, but after receiving Ye Xing's order, he still quickly rushed out, Shi Santong came to Ye Xing in a thin shirt, and asked: "King Daming visited late at night, could it be that something happened?" ”

Ye Xing nodded: "Now that we have found out who stole the Blue Blood Exquisite Pearl, Wei Yifeng is innocent, and the emperor ordered me to convey the order to release Wei Yifeng." ”

Shi Santong believed what Ye Xing said, so after nodding again and again, he and Ye Xing and the others came to the prison of the mansion, and after a few prison doors, they finally came to the place where Wei Yifeng was held, the cell was a little small, but Wei Yifeng was alone, at this time Wei Yifeng had his back to Ye Xing and the others, lying there motionless, as if asleep.

After Lord Shi Santong shouted a few times, Wei Yifeng didn't move at all, and when Ye Xing saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, open the prison door quickly!" ”

A jailer who came with him hurriedly opened the cell, and Ye Xing rushed in and turned Wei Yifeng over, but Wei Yifeng had blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was already dead.

After everyone saw this situation, they were very surprised, they were still a step late, it turned out that more often, life was so fragile, when they saw Wei Yifeng this evening, he was still iron-clad, but now there is only one corpse left.

The corpse still had body temperature, it should have been dead not long ago, Ye Xing carefully examined the corpse, and found that there were any external injuries, and at this time, Ye Xing found that the blood in the corner of Wei Yifeng's mouth was actually dark black, which was clearly a sign of poisoning.

It's just that despite this, there is nothing in the prison that looks like poison, and after a while, Ye Xing got up and looked at Shi Santong and asked, "You have a fixed person to deliver food every day, right?" ”

Shi Santong nodded: "That's right, the meals of the prisoners in the entire prison are delivered by Da Lin and Er Lin, and after the prisoners finish eating, they will clean up the prisoners' dishes and chopsticks." ”

After listening to Shi Santong's words, Ye Xing continued to ask: "What about Da Lin and Er Lin now?" ”

Shi Santong said with some embarrassment: "They are only responsible for delivering food, so they only come to work in the yamen during the day, and now it is almost late at night, and the two of them must be sleeping at home." ”

Ye Xing's brows were tightly locked, as if he was very worried, and everyone looked at Wei Yifeng's corpse, but they were puzzled, who would kill Wei Yifeng, wasn't it Gonggong Li who stole the blue blood exquisite pearl?
