Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 293 The Real Murder Appears!

Knowing what everyone was thinking, Qin Yi shook his head and said, "The murderer is not Eunuch Zhan."

Being watched by everyone, Eunuch Zhan panicked and was about to defend himself, but when he heard what Qin Yi said, he breathed a sigh of relief, his body was quite weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

The empress looked at Qin Yi, a little puzzled.

Since it's not Wenxiang and Taishi, or Eunuch Zhan, who else is there?
Faintly, she guessed something.

"Although Eunuch Zhan is not the murderer, the murderer got the news and it is related to Eunuch Zhan." Qin Yi said slowly.

Eunuch Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, his heart tensed up again, and he almost fainted.

"If I'm not wrong, after leaving the imperial study, the father-in-law told others about the matter that will continue to be investigated, right?" Looking at Eunuch Zhan, Qin Yi asked gently, looking confident.

Eunuch Zhan was a little flustered, and quickly replied, "This old servant thought it was not a secret, so he told the people around him."

"Who did you tell?" Wen Xiang asked hastily.

"Old slave... I have a bad memory, I can't remember who I told him..." Eunuch Zhan panicked and looked urgent.

He has never encountered the scene of being questioned by many senior officials in court.

What's more, knowing that the news was leaked by himself, how could he not be frightened when he thought of the consequences?

The Grand Master frowned and said, "Think about it carefully, don't panic!"

Eunuch Zhan didn't want to panic, but being stared at by the Empress with a frown, and being looked at by everyone, and thinking about the consequences, he was like an ant on a hot pot, very anxious.

But even though he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he couldn't figure out who he had told him to. He only knew that there were a lot of people, at least four or five.

"Check!" The empress frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Check all the people you came into contact with the afternoon before yesterday, thoroughly check!"

"It doesn't have to be like this." Qin Yi shook his head as soon as the Empress finished speaking.

Everyone couldn't help but look, full of doubts.

"To find the murderer, the existing clues are enough," Qin Yi said with a confident smile on his face, "The other party was too hasty, and the gap left when he killed him was not only the time of death, but also the wound! "

"From the traces of the wound, it can be seen that the murderer is about the same height as the deceased, about five feet, and his dominant hand is the right hand. He is not strong, and the wound is not deep. It can be seen that he is thin. In addition, he has been promoted rapidly within a year, that is to say... I was promoted within the year and came to you... Eunuch Zhan, do you know who it is?" Qin Yi said slowly.

Eunuch Zhan trembled suddenly, as if struck by lightning, his expression was extremely astonished, his neck seemed to be stuck, he turned his head little by little, and looked at the young eunuch beside him.

Seeing his expression and movements, the empress and the others all looked at the eunuch desperately.

Seeing everyone watching, the young eunuch was slightly startled, and said in panic, "My lords, you... what do you see me doing?"

He quickly looked at Eunuch Zhan and said in surprise, "Eunuch, are you suspicious of the slave?"

Eunuch Zhan said anxiously, "Five feet tall and thin, there is only one person who will come to me within a year, and that is you!"

"But the slave is left-handed!" the young eunuch said loudly.

Eunuch Zhan was taken aback for a moment before he remembered that the young eunuch was indeed left-handed.

We have been together for nearly a year, and he remembers this clearly!
Qin Yi looked indifferent, without any surprise.

The existing clues can prove that Eunuch Zhan was an undercover agent and was promoted within a year.

And there is only one such eunuch, and that is the young eunuch in front of him.

Qin Yi suspected at first that it was the eunuch who sent someone to kill Wei Zhang, but from Wei Zhang's defenselessness and the traces of his wounds, it can be proved that it was the young eunuch who did it.

But as the other party said, he is left-handed, which does not match the characteristics of the murderer.

This point, Qin Yi also learned during the investigation.

But the problem is that everything can be disguised, but in a hurry, it may reveal its true nature.

For example, when attacking Wei Zhang, a person pretending to be left-handed may use his real dominant hand because of nervousness.

For another example, when you are worried about being seen through and panic, you will unknowingly use your real dominant hand to get the book.

Seeing Qin Yi smiling slightly and remaining silent, everyone became puzzled.

Immediately, he realized that the other party's gaze seemed to be staring at something, so he followed it, and suddenly his pupils shrank!
The young eunuch who claimed to be left-handed was actually holding a heavy book with his right hand!
Suddenly, the empress and others remembered that the young eunuch was ordered to fetch the book, and when he returned, he also used his right hand!

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on his right hand with deep coldness, the young eunuch was full of surprise, and when he looked down, he trembled!

He hastily changed hands, shifted the book to his left hand, and said falteringly, "Slave... Slave was nervous for a while, and used the wrong hand..."

Everyone frowned slightly, and couldn't tell for a moment whether this person was trying to argue, or was really too nervous.

"Then, I would like to ask, is the diary found in Wei Zhang's room real or fake?" Qin Yi took out a booklet from his arms, and stared straight at the young eunuch with sharp eyes.

The latter's heart trembled, and his pupils opened wide!

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Qin Yi said loudly, "In the diary six years ago, Wei Zhang stated that he, together with you, handed over the waist card to others to counterfeit, and got 230 six taels of silver, which should have been shared equally between the two. In the end, you monopolize 140 six taels, am I right?"

The young eunuch trembled all over, and his face turned pale instantly, like gold paper, without the slightest trace of blood!
His lips trembled, as if he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything.

I thought the diary was a fake and used to trick him into telling the truth, but the amount was exactly the same!
The other party agreed to give 300 taels, but after it was done, they embezzled 64 taels and only gave 230 taels.

Moreover, he did only give Wei Zhang 90 taels...

Seeing the young eunuch's expression, everyone knew that this person was the murderer!
The empress was slightly angry, she didn't expect the murderer to be lurking in the palace, she immediately said coldly, "Come on, pull this dog down for me!"

Immediately, two Qiandao guards who looked like wolves and tigers hurried into the hall and dragged down the young eunuch with pale face and limp body.

Eunuch Zhan was shocked, and hurried forward, knelt on the ground and wailed, "Your Majesty, this old slave was negligent, trusted the thief, and made a big mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Eunuch Zhan quietly, Qin Yi knew that the other party had made a mistake unintentionally.

It was the young eunuch who made a big mistake for the sake of money. Knowing that the fire could not be covered with paper, he deliberately created an opportunity to please Eunuch Zhan, so that he was promoted and became a confidant.

But no matter what, Eunuch Zhan was deceived by the young eunuch, and it was a big mistake to raise him as a helper and even as a successor.

If the young eunuch is really allowed to become the next head of the respect room and accompany the empress, it means that the life of the empress is at the whim of the mastermind behind the scenes!
If the black hand behind the scenes gave the order to assassinate, even if the young eunuch was unwilling, he could only turn into a sharp knife from the dark if he was controlled by the handle!

This is also the reason why the murderer behind the scenes did not silence the young eunuch. He is more valuable alive than dead.

If Qin Yi hadn't found out that this person was the murderer, asked the system specially, learned about the salary six years ago, and used a fake booklet to deceive the other party, maybe it would have been really difficult to find this guy.

If you let him stay in the palace, there will be endless troubles!
The empress also thought of this, so she looked at Eunuch Zhan and said in a cold voice, "You are old, so you don't want to serve in the palace any more, you should retire and return home!"

After hearing this, Eunuch Zhan was overjoyed. He knew that the Empress spared his life because of her old love, and it was just an unintentional mistake.

Turning her head slightly, the empress looked at Qin Yi, and said softly, "Qin Yi, I leave this matter to you. Interrogate carefully and find out all the poisonous beasts!"
