Li Canghai walked to the table and observed carefully.

On the table were two pieces of paper with 'big' and 'small' written on them, as well as dice, and beside them were some messy pieces of silver, and on the table there was a pool of blood flowing from the chest of the dealer crawling on the table.

The dealer was half-lying on the table, his right hand curled up and stretched out on the table, and his left hand hung down weakly, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and the dagger went straight into his chest.

"The king asked them that they were gambling when the dealer died, but they heard a scream and saw the dealer lying on the table covered in blood. Strangely, no one approached the dealer at all, but the dealer died under the dagger. Li Yu approached him and said.

Li Canghai ignored him, but walked over and examined the body.

The corpse was still warm, it was indeed just dead, and there was only one wound on the corpse, so it was determined that the real cause of his death was the dagger.

"Lord Li, judging from this king, it is very likely that the deceased committed suicide, what do you think?" Li Yu said matter-of-factly.

Li Canghai looked at the corpse and asked casually, "Why does the prince think that this person is committing suicide?" ”

Li Yu rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "This is obvious!" This man died in the gambling table, and he was the only one in the gambling table at the time of the crime, and no one approached him, and the king guessed that this person must have lost too much money before committing suicide with a dagger. ”

Seeing that Li Canghai didn't speak, Li Yu continued: "The reason why this king is so sure is because this king has checked them, and there is no blood on their hands, if they start to kill." There must be blood stains on your hands, Master Li, don't you say? ”

Li Canghai raised his head and said, "What the prince said is right. This is indeed somewhat suspicious. ”

Li Yu blinked excitedly and said, "In this way, you also agree with what this king said, this person committed suicide?" ”

"Whether this person committed suicide or not needs to be investigated again to determine." Li Canghai said.

"Is there a need for an investigation into this matter? It's already obvious that this person committed suicide! Li Yu is very sure of authenticity.

Li Canghai did not answer him. He looked around the corpse.

The table is in the shape of a crescent, with a hollow inside, and the dealer is in the inner circle.

But. In addition to the blood stains on the gambling table, Li Canghai also found a pool of blood on the ground in the inner circle.

The blood spilled a line, and it went directly in the direction of the table.

Li Canghai squatted down. He took a closer look at the pool of blood. He followed the blood stains and looked for the gambling table, and nodded secretly.

It is not difficult to see from the direction of the blood stains that the dealer was seriously injured in the inner circle of the table, but he used all his strength to get up from the ground before he fell on the table.

After determining the real injury of the dealer, a series of questions immediately appeared in Li Canghai's mind.

The bloodstain on the ground is located in the inner circle of the table, two steps away from the table. In this place, it is impossible for others to stab him with a dagger. But he had a dagger stuck in his chest, and where did this dagger come from?

Li Yu said that he may have committed suicide, but Li Canghai did not give a reply, and before there is conclusive evidence, any reply will have an impact on the case, and it is even likely to affect the direction of the investigation of the case.

The person closest to the dealer is on the other side of the table, and if a gambler kills with a dagger, such a long distance will definitely be discovered.

But in fact, no one did it.

At this point, Li Yu confirmed that these gamblers were playing dice at the time of the crime, and no one approached the dealer at all.

And the distance between the dealer and the gambler is three feet away, and the gambler can't kill at all.

"Could it be that this person really committed suicide?" Li Canghai narrowed his eyes.

"Lord Fu Yin, the case can be closed now, this person committed suicide, how about it? This king still has a talent for investigating cases, right? After laughing for a while, Li Yu said triumphantly to Luoyang Mansion Yin.

Luoyang Mansion Yin grinned, and hurriedly bent down and said: "The prince is wise in the world, this little case is a piece of cake for the prince, and the officials admire it." ”

Li Canghai rolled his eyes, he stood up from the inner circle, and said lightly: "Wait!" ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and Luoyang Mansion Yin asked in surprise, "I don't know what else Lord Li has to order?" ”

"This case cannot be closed, and there are still many doubts that have not yet been clarified." Li Canghai said.

Li Yu stroked the long hair on his shoulders with his hand, and asked puzzledly: "Canghai, isn't this case obvious?" This dealer is clearly committing suicide! ”

"Yes, sir." Luoyang Mansion Yin also said with a puzzled face: "When the dealer died, no one was by his side, if it wasn't for suicide, how could this dagger be inserted into his chest?" ”

Li Canghai said lightly: "If the deceased committed suicide, why didn't he have a scabbard on his body?" ”

"This ...... Maybe it's because he forgot to bring it, but that doesn't seem to mean anything, does it? Li Yu took out the folding fan, played with it a few times in his hand, and said.

Li Canghai shook his head slightly and said, "This is a gambling house, how can you allow people to bring weapons in?" What's more, how can such a dagger hide from the guards in the gambling house? ”

Li Yu thought for a while, and then asked a few people squatting aside, "Who of you is the owner of this gambling house?" ”

A middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body stood up and said tremblingly: "Back to the prince, the grass people are the owners of this gambling house. ”

"This king asks you, do you allow guests to bring weapons in this gambling house?" Li Yu asked, shaking the folding fan.

The owner hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince's words, the grass people are small gambling houses, and occasionally people from the rivers and lakes come with weapons, and the villains are not easy to stop." But after all, there are few people in the rivers and lakes, and I don't see anyone with weapons in the gambling house on weekdays. ”

"Does the dealer have any weapons on him?" Li Yu shook the folding fan and asked.

The owner shook his head and said, "Back to the prince, as far as the grass people know, the dealer has no weapons on him. ”

"How do you know he doesn't have a weapon on him?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

"Back to the prince, the dealer has to go through a body search when he enters the gambling house. It was necessary to make sure that the dealer did not have any money hidden on him, and that he would also have to be searched after leaving, so the grass people were sure that he had no weapons on him. The owner said.

Li Canghai nodded. The gambling house did this to prevent the dealer from filling his own pockets, and the dealer was afraid that he would not even have a copper plate on him, and it would be even more impossible to store the weapon.

Li Yu touched his nose in surprise and muttered, "In this way, this is indeed more suspicious!" Since he didn't carry a dagger, where did this suicide dagger come from? Could it be that he really didn't commit suicide? ”

Li Canghai thought for a moment and asked lightly, "This official asked you." How is this dealer? ”

"Back to adults, this dealer's name is Han Da, and he is honest. He is an honest and responsible person, and has been a dealer in the grass people for two years. ”

Li Canghai nodded, and then asked, "This person can have disputes with others, does he have enemies?" ”

The owner shook his head and said, "It's not uncommon to have arguments with people. But whether there is an enemy is unknown. ”

Li Canghai frowned. said: "Is there anyone else in the deceased's family?" ”

"Back to my lord, the deceased still has a wife and children in his family. The grass people have sent someone to inform them, and they will be here soon. The owner said respectfully.

As he spoke, there was a cry outside, and a woman rushed in crying with a baby in her arms.

"Husband, why did you leave us orphans and widows and leave! Whining....... When the woman saw the dead dealer's body, her eyes went black and she almost fainted.

Li Canghai sighed. He ordered a chair to sit down with the woman.

The owner saw this. Hurriedly walked up to comfort the woman, the woman's tears rippled, and the baby in her arms also cried non-stop, and for a time the whole gambling house was filled with a heavy and sad atmosphere.

"Lady of the Han family, don't cry anymore, several adults are here, and now they are investigating Han Da's death, and they will definitely give you justice, don't cry, the adults have something to ask you." The owner comforted.

The woman suddenly knelt down in front of Luoyang Mansion Yin and cried: "My lord, please be the master of the people's women!" My husband's family has always been honest and loyal, how could he suddenly suffer such a catastrophe, how should we orphans and widows live! Whining....... ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin hurriedly helped him up and said, "Don't worry, with King Su and Master Li of Dali Temple here, I will definitely give you justice." ”

Su Wang Li Yu's face was solemn, facing the orphans and widows, he was a little unbearable, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, with this king here, I will definitely give you justice." From now on, all the questions this king asks you may be about Han Da's death, and you have to think carefully before answering. ”

"The women will definitely answer the prince's questions truthfully." The woman choked.

Li Yu nodded, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "This king asks you, what is abnormal about this Han Da recently, such as wanting to find a short-term view?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, my husband has been as usual recently, and he has never had the idea of looking for a short-term view!" The woman replied.

Li Yu frowned, he put away the folding fan, and asked, "Then do you know if he has had any disputes with others, or has a grudge against others?" ”

Li Canghai clasped his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, this prince also has some thoughts, but this question is exactly what he wants to know, and now that Li Yu asked, it saves him a lot of words.

"The husband is honest and honest, and he has never had a dispute with anyone, so how can he be an enemy?" Han cried.

"This is strange, Han Da is neither a suicide nor an enemy, so who wants to kill him?" Li Yu's brows tightened, almost twisted into a ball.

No one spoke in the gambling room, everyone fell into silence, looking at the corpse lying on the gambling table, everyone felt a cold air rushing from the soles of their feet to their backbones.

"Lord Wang...... Two adults, won't Han Hui be killed by evil ghosts ......? The owner's face was a little pale, and his tone was obviously a little trembling.

"Huh? Slain by demons? What do you mean by that? Li Yu blinked his eyes and asked with interest.

"Lord Wang, look at the location of Han Da's death, there is no one to reach it, and he is not a suicide, but he has a dagger in his chest, if it is not the evil ghost's doing, how can such a strange thing happen?" The owner swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly.

"You talk nonsense! My husband has never harmed anyone, so how can he be haunted by evil spirits? You are talking nonsense! Hearing this, Han immediately cried.

"I'm just talking about things, if Han Da didn't commit suicide, he must have been killed by evil spirits, otherwise how could he have died so strangely?" The owner said.

"No...... No way! Han shook her head and cried, the baby in her arms was even more crying, she shook her head desperately, and said: "The husband will never leave us orphans and widows, he will never commit suicide, someone must have killed the husband!" ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin looked embarrassed, he really didn't have a clue about this case, so he had to ask Li Yu: "Lord Wang, how do you think this case should be solved?" ”

Li Yu scratched his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "You ask me how to solve it?" Are you Fu Yin or am I Fu Yin? If this king knew what to do, what would he want you to do? ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "The lower officials are incompetent, the prince forgives the sin!" ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin was helpless in his heart, who said that he was good at reasoning and solving cases before, and what did he say that a mere murder case was simply caught, but now he has to let it go, the thoughts of this royal descendant are really not something that ordinary people can measure.

Rubbing his nose vigorously, Li Yu frowned and muttered.

While Li Yu was questioning, Li Canghai found some clues in the inner circle of the gaming table.

The light in the inner circle was dark, and Li Canghai took a candlestick and squatted in the depression to observe carefully.

The puddle of blood on the ground made him feel a little strange, and the blood gathered together, condensing but not dissipating.

Li Canghai pondered for a while, and then gently scraped away the blood water, and found that there was a small depression of about half a finger under the blood water.

The depression is about three inches wide and half a finger deep, and there is a small mound around the depression.

Li Canghai frowned, he looked at the small pitted pit filled with blood and water, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he remembered the dagger stuck in the deceased's chest, and he immediately stood up, walked over to the deceased, and stared at the dagger to examine it.

"I see." Li Canghai squinted his eyes, and he had some speculation in his heart.

"Oh, this king has forgotten that there is a man of God here. Canghai, Canghai? Hey, what about people? Li Yu, who was muttering to himself, suddenly patted his head, and hurriedly turned around to look for the back.

"Lord Wang, I'm here." Li Canghai returned to the inner circle of the table and launched a carpet search in the inner circle.

"Canghai, what are you doing? Oh yes, what do you think about this case? Li Yu shook the folding fan, walked to the gambling table, and asked expectantly.

"Does the prince think that the deceased was killed by evil spirits?" Li Canghai asked without raising his head.

Li Yu grinned, he swept his eyes left and right, and said in a low voice: "Actually, this king also agrees with what the owner said, if he doesn't commit suicide, he will die at the hands of evil ghosts, otherwise how can you explain everything in front of you?" ”

Li Canghai shook his head and said in his heart, this King Su seems to be a talent, how can he be so simple, and even believe such a ridiculous reason. (To be continued.) )
