Thank you for your support, although we have never met, but I have always supported my friends who have touched me very much, let me remember it for a lifetime, I cherish every friend in my life who is destined for me

In the evening, Xiao Yuer directed a performance with Mr. Gongsun. The pre-performance preparations left everyone confused. A white screen was erected at one end of the room, with thick curtains on both sides of the screen. The lighting facilities are in the palace, and there is everything in the palace. This will be a stage play in the future, right?

When it was almost time, the prefect of the palace and Hao Tongzhi arrived at the palace, and the feelings were not very high. Presumably disagree with their plans. But I heard that it was a performance by the prince, so I came.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, like all his thoughts. But, that's okay, as he said, it might save us a lot of trouble. ”

Xiao Yu'er instinctively felt that the Wang Governor's Mansion was distorting the facts, and explained: "This is the attention of the prince. "Let him have nothing to say, this group of princes is not easy to mess with.

Soon, Uncle Xiao accompanied Aunt Xiao to arrive first, and before that, he hadn't seen her yet. She was a very beautiful woman and looked nervous. Lifting the couple followed. It's the first time I've seen someone. You can see it at a glance. He was handsome, tall, with light dark skin and a characteristic calm air.

Xiao Yu'er arranged a seat for the pedestrian. Facing the screen. A bright light shines on the screen. Since in ancient times, there was no searchlight, so only a smooth crystal could be set in the back instead. Command the other candles to be extinguished. In addition to the screens in the house. All in the dark. It's also a new way of performing arts.

At this time, Gongsun Ce's voice sounded in the darkness: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me explain, the six characters will pass through the guΓ² screen in turn. You are all familiar with these characters. "The six people in the play walked through one by one.

As soon as these instructions were finished, the show began. Each of the figures mentioned by Gongsun Ce jumped in front of the screen in turn, posed there for a while, and then stepped off the stage. The lights are on again. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was nervous and didn't know what to be afraid of. Nonsense, the protagonist is the prince. Playing opposite him was Zhao Rong. Can you not be nervous?

However, for Xiao Yuer to watch future A movies, the whole show is very boring.

For those enthusiasts, it is indeed a poking acting. Hey, so much so that someone said, "Except for the protagonist, the confession of true love, I think it's a complete farce." ”

This approach is clearly failing, just as it is almost certainly going to fail. However, Gongsun Ce didn't seem to be flustered at all, and he took a step forward. A smile on his face. Road:

"Ho. Ladies and gentlemen, could you please tell me one by one what we just saw? How about you start first? ”

Uncle Xiao looked puzzled: "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

"You tell me what I just saw."

"I-oh-uh. It should be said that we saw six figures passing in front of the screen, dressed to represent ....... represent us that night. ”

"Leave that night alone." Gongsun Ce interrupted him and said, "Your words in the first half are exactly what I need. Madam. Do you agree with Uncle Xiao's words? ”

He had already turned to Aunt Xiao and said.

"I-heyβ€”yes, of course."

"You agree that you saw the six characters that were performed that night?"

"Uh-of-the-amble."

"Do you agree?"

"Yes."

"Where's Madame?"

"Yes."

"Steward Ding. Do you all agree? ”

He turned to look at us. His face was very pale, and his eyes were green. It's the same as a cat's eye.

"But, you're all wrong! Your eyes have deceived you. Just as the eyes deceived you on the night of the feast. It's a very simple oneβ€”a trick. ”

"Blindfolding"

"The ancients said that what they saw was not necessarily true. We should see with the eyes of the heart, we have to see with the brain! Then, you will understand tonight and the night of the banquet. You're seeing five people instead of six! Look! ”

The lights went out again. A figure jumped in front of the screen - Xiao Haoshen.

"Who?" Gongsun Ce asked. "Is it Xiao Haoshen?"

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

"Look again!"

The figure quickly took off Xiao Haoshen's loose clothing. In the spotlight appeared a person in a dazzling costume! At the same time, an exclamation was heard, accompanied by the sound of a chair falling.

Juren was surprised, "You... How did you guess that? He thought it was seamless. Really, no one could have imagined it except for himself and his wife. Several days passed. No one in the yamen would know that he was the one who did the case. Nervous and shrewd, he wanted to escape, but was this possible?

Ma Xiaoling stepped forward with an arrow, flicked her wrist, and pointed at the opponent's acupoint.

Then I heard Xiao Yu'er say:

"You have been arrested, you have been accused of murdering Xiao Haoshen, you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court."

After a cup of tea, a fine dinner appears on the table. Zhao Xing's face was full of spring breeze, while he entertained everyone warmly, while Gongsun Ce and Xiao Yuer answered everyone's urgent questions.

"It's simple. The discovery of the green pom-pom immediately indicated that it had been pulled from the murderer's clothes. I excluded his wife and made Uncle Xiao a criminal. ”

However, Uncle Xiao left the Xiao Mansion an hour before the murder. So either he later returned to the Xiao Mansion and killed Xiao Haoshen, or ...... Well, it was he who killed him before he left! Is that possible? Who had seen Xiao Haoshen after dinner that day? Only Mrs. Juren. ”

"I suspect that her words were merely deliberately invented in order to explain the lost pom-pom, which she had of course cut from her own clothes in place of the one that had been lost from her husband's clothes. And the Xiao Haoshen seen in the box must be fake. In the beginning. I once considered the possibility of Uncle Xiao as a criminal. But he was wearing such complicated and delicate clothes, it was obvious that it was impossible for him to play the dual role of Xiao Haoshen and Uncle Xiao. Because he is an amateur. The ancestors told us that there is a specialization in the art industry, and that's it. Through guΓ² investigation, lift people through this way. ”

"On the other hand, for lifting people, a young man who is about the same height as the deceased, it's very simple."

"But there's one thing that worries me. There is no doubt that it is impossible for a doctor not to notice the difference between a man who has been dead for an hour and a man who has just died for a cup of tea! Well, the doctor did notice! But it wasn't that he was brought to the corpse and questioned him. How long has this person been dead? On the contrary, he was told that the deceased was alive before a cup of tea before seeing the body, so he only commented on the unusual stiffness of the body's limbs during the autopsy. And he has no way to explain this qiΔ“. Because he is not a man. ”

"All of this qiΔ“ is going well for my theory. Juren killed Xiao Haoshen after dinner, and this was when someone saw him pulling him back to the room where he was eating dinner. As you guys remember. Then he left with Liu Yan. Drop her off at her home, and then hurry back to Xiao's mansion...... However, pretending to be himself, it was very simple, he only had to take off his outer clothes. ”

Uncle Xiao, the uncle of the deceased, leaned forward and asked with a confused face, "But if that's the case, he was ready to kill my nephew when he came to the banquet." Can you imagine what motives he had? Motive, I don't see any motive he has. ”

"Ahh This brings us to the second tragedy...... That is, the tragedy of Liu Yan. There is a simple thing that everyone overlooks. Liu Yan is poisoned by five stones...... And her five stones were scattered in the glazed locket found on Xiao Haoshen's body. So where did she get the lethal dose of five stones? There was only one person who could provide for her - lifting. This illustrates a qiΔ“. It illustrates her friendship with the couple and why she lifted someone to take her home. Xiao Haoshen resolutely opposed the sucking of five stones. And he found out that she was an addict, and suspected that the lifter was providing her with five stone powder. There is no doubt that Juren denied this, but Xiao Haoshen was determined to find out the truth from Liu Yan at the banquet. He could forgive the unfortunate girl, but he would never have mercy on the man who made a living by selling five stones. Lifting people face exposure and disfigurement. Therefore, when he went to the banquet, he had already made up his mind that he would kill him at any cost. ”

"So is Liu Yan's death an accident?"

"I suspect it was an accident orchestrated by the lifters. She was angry with Xiao Haoshen. At first because of his rebuke, then because he took the five stones. Juren gave her more Wushi San, and it is very likely that she increased the dose to show him a challenge! ”

"And ...... I want to ask, Zhang Zhukuai. Lord Wang said, "That little room and screen." How do you know? ”

"Lord Wang, that's the simplest. The servants were always going in and out of the hut. So. Obviously. It is impossible for the body to lie in the place where it was found. There must be a place in the house where the body could be hidden, so I deduced that there was a screen and a small room in the back. Lift people to drag the body there. Next, he came to the box and asked everyone to pay attention to Xiao Haojue's presence in the box at this time. Before he left the hall. Dragged the body out again. This is one of his brilliant ideas. He's a smart guy! ”

But from the sneering eyes of the little fish, there is no doubt that you are unlucky to meet someone smarter than him. And it's two.

In fact, the case could have been so complicated, hey, but the staff was short. Let's hope they stop there. Don't be really guilty of disobedience. The person who said it was naturally a certain prince.
