Chapter 285 The latest clue!
Qin Yi couldn't find anything suspicious in the expressions and confessions of these servants, so he couldn't help being puzzled.

Could it be that the wine that poisoned King Ning was not served by these servants?
Or, these servants didn't know about it, they were just being deceived?

The former guess is possible, but the latter guess is obviously wrong.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles in the hall all drank the same wine. If they didn't know it, the servant who got the poisoned wine would not be able to accurately serve the poisoned wine to King Ning.

Just now he also asked if anyone specifically asked the servants to pass a certain bottle of wine to King Ning, but everyone said no.

No clues could be found on the servants, so Qin Yi began to diverge and think.

What would he do if he was the mastermind behind the scenes?
That would naturally prevent the Ministry of Punishment from finding out any results, so as to frame the given military lord and himself. In this case, it is impossible to leave lies in such a simple group of servants.

Then is there any way to poison King Ning to death without going through the servants?

Poisoned somewhere else?
Impossible, Wu Zuo has found out that the poison that King Ning was poisoned is exactly the same as the poisoned wine left on the cups and cups he used in Dingjunhou's mansion.

How did the murderer manage to bypass the servants and let King Ning drink the poisoned wine?
With such doubts, Qin Yi led many arresters back to the mansion.

He is not stupid, he will not leave the system unused and waste brain cells in vain.

It's just that this system doesn't seem to want him as a host to be too compliant, and it's extremely expensive to marvel at, and after asking a few times, he discovered a pattern.

That is, when he didn't know, using the prompt function required hundreds of thousands of exclamation points. For example, before interrogating the servant, he used the prompt function to ask if the murderer was a servant, and the result required 30 exclamation points.

After examining the servants and confirming that the murderer was not the servants, Qin Yi asked again, and it turned out that only [-] exclamation points were needed. This system is too "intimate"!

Therefore, he couldn't learn anything from the system, so he could only confirm it afterwards.

From eighty or ninety percent certainty to one hundred percent certainty.

Therefore, Qin Yi can only answer the question of who can bypass the servant and make King Ning drink the poisoned wine.

In addition to the servants, the officials present can also be ruled out as suspects.

Because once King Ning died, all the officials present could not escape the relationship.

If the murderer cannot be found, the officials are very likely to be imprisoned, and no one will make fun of their own lives and official careers.

After thinking about it, Qin Yi also asked the system and spent thousands of exclamation points to get the affirmation that the officials present were not the murderer.

Who else is there?

Who else has the opportunity to commit crimes except servants and officials?
Qin Yi frowned, his head was like clockwork, and he began to think quickly.

In his mind, the scene of that night's banquet was flickering little by little, as if playing a movie, all the pictures were reappearing.

Arriving outside the gate of the Hou's Mansion...the officials came to greet...Ding Junhou greeted...Communication with King Ning...All the officials had a feast...Leaving after the banquet...Some officials fell asleep and fell asleep...

Keeping thinking about it, Qin Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and the picture in his mind was fixed on the scene of the official sleeping soundly!
Immediately afterwards, the screen quickly reversed, swiped backwards quickly, and then stopped suddenly, and was fixed on the many carriages outside Dingjunhou's mansion!

Beside each carriage, there is a coachman with a respectful expression!

It's them!

Qin Yi completely understood in an instant!
People who have the opportunity to commit crimes, and the coachman!
Although the coachman could not go to the main hall when the banquet was over, if the official passed out drunk after the banquet, the coachman had to go to the lobby to help his master into the carriage and send him back to the mansion.

At this time, it is the opportunity for the coachmen to enter the main hall!

They are also the only group that can enter the main hall without attracting suspicion!

Qin Yi was excited, but immediately thought of a problem.

The coachman can only enter the main hall when the banquet is over, and they can only stay in the side hall when the banquet is open. How did that make King Ning drink the poisoned wine?
Could it be that he pretended to be a servant and sneaked into the hall?

Probably!

Following the officials, he entered the Hou's mansion without inspection, took the opportunity to go to the toilet, changed into the servant's clothes prepared in advance, went to the kitchen to serve wine, made poisonous wine when there was no one, and then handed it to King Ning.

After the banquet, he came to help the drunk official away, and took the opportunity to put the poison under his case...

In an instant, Qin Yi wanted to understand the murderer's crime process, and he was very happy!
Sometimes when investigating a case, when clues are scarce, we can only make logical guesses based on existing clues, reasoning and analysis, and then verify and collect relevant evidence.

And he has a system that can skip the verification process and quickly advance the investigation progress.

He immediately asked, "System, I want to ask, is the person who poisoned King Ning the driver?"

The neutral voice of the system sounded, "Using the prompt function requires corresponding exclamation points, and the system needs to spend 3000 exclamation points to answer this question. Will the host continue to ask?"

"Inquiry!" Qin Yi said calmly.

Sure enough, after I have the answer, the amazement value will become much cheaper.

"For the host's question, the system's answer: Yes, the host is welcome to use the prompt function again."

Qin Yi was so happy that he couldn't help clenching his fists!

Wu Xiang, I have lived up to your trust and finally found the latest clue!
Without delay, Qin Yi immediately shouted, "Follow me to Dingjunhou's Mansion!"

Now it is evening, and many arresters are whispering to the head arrester, wanting him to talk to Qin Yi and let everyone go home for dinner, but Qin Yi, who was silent in thought, suddenly yelled out, startling everyone .

Unexpectedly, they hadn't eaten yet and they had work to do again. Everyone was unhappy, but they could only suppress their dissatisfaction and rushed out with Qin Yi.

As Ye Butou ran, he asked, "General, why do you want to go to the Hou Mansion?"

He vaguely felt that Qin Yi was leading them to do futile work again, just like interrogating many servants, they would return without success.

Involuntarily, he secretly slandered, why did His Majesty send a layman to investigate the case, isn't this just a joke?

Qin Yi didn't go into details, but just said something, you'll know when you get there, and continued to run.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the destination and saw many Qiandao guards, which surrounded the Hou's mansion tightly.

Seeing Jin Qinyi and a group of people rushing quickly, Qiandaowei Baihu immediately shouted, "This place has been blocked, and no one else can come near!"

Many thousand sword guards held the handles of their swords one after another and stood on guard.

Qin Yi raised the token in his hand and shouted, "This general, Qin Yi, is ordered by His Majesty to investigate the case!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yi signaled everyone to stop and stop running.

After receiving the token handed over by Qin Yi, after a closer look, Qiandaowei Baihu waved his hand, indicating that many soldiers do not need to be vigilant.

He frowned and said, "General Qin, Your Majesty has an order that those who investigate the case may enter the Hou's Mansion for investigation, but they cannot meet Lord Hou. If there is any problem, the steward of the Hou's Mansion can convey it on his behalf."

Qin Yi was slightly surprised when he heard this, and immediately understood that this was to save the face of Marquis Dingjun, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable when he was interrogated face to face like a suspect.

Qin Yi immediately nodded and said, "I will understand!"
