Chapter 873: A Strange Murder Case
Chapter 873 Strange Murder.
The weather was still gloomy, but the thunder was gone.
But although the thunder was gone, the ministers present were all shocked, and among these ministers, the most shocked was the man with a frightened face holding the wine glass.
The appearance of that person is about thirty years old, with a slight beard, and he is still very handsome, because today is the birthday of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ji Gang, so he is wearing civilian clothes, and the casual clothes are gorgeous, wearing a jade pendant, this person Ye Xing does not recognize, but after he rushed forward, he immediately gave Ai Fei'er a look and asked him to pay attention to that person.
After the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Lord Ji Gang, got up slightly and said that Li Shicheng was poisoned, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi hurriedly continued to ask: "Poisoned, who was poisoned?" ”
It's a somewhat unanswerable question, if they knew who poisoned him, wouldn't they know who the murderer was, but they didn't know who the murderer was.
The ministers were still shocked, and at this time, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Ji Gang, stood up and said: "This kind of thing happened on the occasion of my birthday, it is simply a challenge to my commander of the Jinyi Guard, so I decided to take action personally and investigate the murderer, so the ministers, until the matter is investigated, please stay here for the time being, sit in your original seat and do not move." When Ji Gang said this, he set his eyes on Ye Xing, and then said, "Please also ask King Daming to go back!" ”
This sentence made Ye Xing very faceless, and it also made Ye Xing feel that it was not a taste, investigating cases is Ye Xing's strength, and it has always been others who invite him to investigate, and today this Ji Gang did not let him investigate, is there any conspiracy in this?
Ye Xing didn't go back, he just smiled coldly: "Lord Commander, now that you have a life case in the Ji Mansion, I'm afraid you can't investigate it, I'm very interested in this case, so I want to investigate." ”
Ji Gang didn't let him for a moment, and said: "I don't understand when King Daming says this, are you suspecting that I killed Master Li Shicheng Li?" ”
At this time, Ye Xing knew that the deceased's name was Li Shicheng, but after Ye Xing knew, he still insisted: "I didn't say that, but the murder happened in your Ji Mansion, I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to investigate!" ”
Ji Gang's face was ugly, and he said: "Since this is the case, then we have to go to the emperor and let the emperor decide who will investigate this case." ”
For the sake of a case, Ji Gang made such a big move, which had to make Ye Xing suspicious, and when Ye Xing felt suspicious, it was even more difficult for him to give up the case.
To meet the emperor, Ye Xing may take over the investigation of this case, but why did Ji Gang know that he had a great chance, but he still wanted to go with Ye Xing to see the emperor?
Could it be that he is stalling for time, but for what time?
After a while, Ye Xing smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's okay to go to see the emperor, but here is His Royal Highness the Prince, we can completely let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince call the shots, you say you Master Ji?" ”
Ji Gang looked at Ye Xing, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he arched his hand to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the prince to decide the matter here!" ”
This Ji Gang said this, but the prince Zhu Gaochi was stumped, he originally wanted to buy Ji Gang, if he promised to let Ji Gang investigate the case, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial for him to buy Ji Gang, but the prince Zhu Gaochi also knew Ye Xing's ability very well in his heart, if he lost Ye Xing because of this matter, then his loss would also be great.
The helpless prince hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Both of them are detective masters, so why bother to fight for such a case, I think it is better for the two of you to investigate together!" ”
After listening to the words of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Ji Gang hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the prince, this case happened in my mansion, and I have the responsibility to investigate it clearly, as for the king of Daming, I don't think there is any need for him to be involved." ”
This Ji Gang seems to be specifically trying to embarrass the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and he has to investigate by himself.
The embarrassed Zhu Gaochi glanced at Ye Xing, he hoped that Ye Xing could give him a way, or he could take the initiative to quit, Ye Xing was so smart, he naturally saw what the prince Zhu Gaochi meant, but after Ye Xing saw Zhu Gaochi's meaning, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him in his heart, this Ji Gang is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, this time he insisted on investigating this matter, then there must be a conspiracy in this matter, if Ji Gang succeeds, I'm afraid it will not be very good.
Ye Xing couldn't answer Zhu Gaochi at all, if he gave in, it would undoubtedly be a grave for the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and himself.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, stood up and said: "Since neither of them will give in, I think this matter will be handled by Dali Temple, and neither of them should interfere." ”
Ye Xing, a person from Dali Temple, didn't believe it at all, so he felt that it was very likely to be a conspiracy of Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, so Ye Xing arched his hand and said: "King Han is indeed thinking about the two of us, but before Dali Temple comes, I want to check the body, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
This requirement of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi can still be satisfied, so before Zhu Gaoxi did not answer, the prince hurriedly said: "Okay, you can check!" ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, and then leaned down to inspect Li Shicheng's body, Li Shicheng did not have any scars on his body, his lips were purple, obviously a sign of poisoning, there was a wine glass in his hand, there was still a little wine left in the cup, but there was still a little wine on the ground, and the wine on the ground looked very small, so it was impossible to see that Li Shicheng died after drinking the glass of wine in his hand, or that he had been poisoned before drinking this glass of wine.
Ye Xing took out a silver needle and tested the wine in Li Shicheng's cup, the wine was poisonous, but the toxicity looked weak and shallow, and then, Ye Xing stabbed Li Shicheng's throat and stomach again, and found that the throat and stomach were poisonous.
The stomach has been poisoned, which means that Li Shicheng has been poisoned before, otherwise if the poison is in the wine glass he just picked up, the stomach cannot be poisonous, but he has already been poisoned, but the poison did not attack until just now, and it can be seen that the poison is very slow.
A person who wants to kill Li Shicheng, why does he use such a slow poison, does he want to give himself time to get out, or find a wronged leader?
Either way, both murderers have been reached.
Ye Xing believed that if the murderer had poisoned here, he would have already escaped, and he had also found one of the wronged leaders, and that was the minister who was still a little frightened.
And the name of this minister, Ye Xing didn't know it yet, but after Ye Xing got up, he looked at the man and asked, "I don't know what to call this adult?" ”
The man was still holding the glass, but his hands were trembling, and he said his name intermittently: Ho...... He Zhongyu.
