Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 726 The True Murder Appears
Li Longji frowned suddenly, and said: "Since he is dead, why did he come out to commit murder now?"

The old minister shrank his neck, shook his head and said: "This minister also finds it strange, maybe Mr. Li made a mistake in the drawing?"

Li Canghai looked at the veteran, and suddenly asked: "Master Shen, how did you know that the head was Qiu Kuang?"

The old official was slightly taken aback, and said: "This is the result of the coroner's examination, it must not be false, right?"

Li Canghai said deeply: "Your Excellency Shen probably doesn't know that there is a craft called 'Disguise'?"

Hearing the words, the old official immediately pulled down his old face. He stared at Li Canghai and said displeasedly: "Master Li, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that the officials of the Ministry of Punishment are just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and they are not as good as Dali Temple?"

Song Kun, who had always had an ugly face, rolled his eyes at this moment, and hurriedly said righteously: "Master Li, are you questioning the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Mr. Shen? Mr. Shen is clean and honest, and has dedicated himself to the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Holy Majesty praised him, but you accused him for no reason, Master Li is so unscrupulous, in my opinion, he is not questioning the Ministry of Punishment, but the Holy Majesty!"

What Song Kun said was righteous, everyone was astonished, but Li Canghai sneered disapprovingly.

"Master Song, do you want to know who the murderer is?" Li Canghai asked, staring at him with a faint smile on his lips.

Song Kun was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "If you want to say it, just say it, why do you ask me?"

"I just want to remind Mr. Song, the so-called 'seek skin with a tiger, you will be hurt if you don't die', Mr. Song is a smart person, don't be a shield for others." Li Canghai said calmly.

"You...Master Li, what do you mean?" Song Kun's face changed slightly, and he said angrily.

Li Canghai snorted, and said lightly: "Master Song, do you really want me to explain it clearly? Well, if that's the case, then I'll just say what I said."

Li Canghai bowed his fists to Li Longji, and said, "Your Majesty, the real culprit who killed Zhang Wenyuan is actually here. The reason why King Su held this dinner was entrusted by the minister, and the purpose was to Find the murderer."

"Oh? Who is the murderer?" Li Longji asked after taking a sip of ginseng tea.

At this time, Li Yu came out and bowed to Li Longji: "Grandfather, the person in the portrait, my grandson has seen it before. One year ago, on the day of my grandson's birthday, I saw the person in the painting follow a certain official. Come to congratulate your grandson, and that official is Master Song Kun Song!"

As soon as Li Yu's words came out, there was another uproar.

Even Li Longji was a little surprised.

When Li Yu said this, it meant that Song Kun had colluded with the murderer!

Song Kun's face changed tragically, and he quickly knelt down, yelling: "Your Majesty! I am wronged! I don't recognize the person in the painting at all!"

"Sir Song, why don't you recognize him? I remember, he seems to be your housekeeper! It is said that Master Song is well-known and memorized, so could he even forget his own housekeeper's appearance?" Li Yu blinked his eyes. , touching his chin, asked pretending to be thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! The steward of the minister is not him! If your majesty doesn't believe me, you can call him here so that your majesty can identify him!" Song Kun said with a look of injustice.

Li Longji thought for a while, nodded and said: "In that case, call your housekeeper!"

Hearing this, Song Kun hurriedly waved to the housekeeper who followed him.

The butler lowered his head, walked over in a hurry, knelt down on the ground facing Li Canghai, and said, "Caomin see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this moment, Ning Xiang, who had been sobbing, suddenly raised her head, pointed at the butler and cried, "The murderer...he...he is the one who told my father the story! I remember his voice!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar.

Song Kun's shoulders trembled involuntarily, and he shouted sharply, "Don't talk nonsense! He is the official housekeeper, how could he be a murderer? I think you have been too stimulated and have become delirious?"

Li Longji's face turned cold, and he said to the housekeeper: "Raise your head, let me identify it!"

The man hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

Seeing this, Li Longji frowned involuntarily. He had never seen such an ugly person.

Because of this, he could tell at a glance that this person had no similarity with the person in Li Canghai's portrait.

"Li Aiqing, you said that the person in the portrait is a murderer, and Ning Xiang also said that he is a murderer, but why is there no similarity between him and the person you painted?" Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, the murderer is indeed the person in the painting, and it is him!" Li Canghai replied in a deep voice.

Song Kun was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Li Canghai, do you think everyone sitting here is blind? Tell me, what is the similarity between him and the person in the painting? Why do you say he is a murderer?" Song Kun sternly shouted.

The corner of Li Canghai's mouth curled into a sneer. He glanced at Song Kun and said calmly, "Master Song wants evidence? Okay, then I'll give you the evidence."

Walking up to the butler, Li Canghai said in a deep voice, "First of all, Mr. Song, the butler, was very cautious when carrying out the whole plan. He always wore a hat from the beginning to the end, so no matter the leader of the shadow play troupe or the two thieves , have never seen his real face. But he has always been negligent, and that is the voice. In this point, not only Ningxiang can be identified from the voice, but also the two thieves can be identified. "

The butler knelt down and bowed his head without saying a word. Song Kun snorted, "Master Li, wouldn't they hear it wrong? If the murderer can be identified just by his voice, what's the use of evidence?"

Li Canghai nodded, and said calmly: "Lord Song, don't worry. Since I say he is the murderer, how can I be empty-handed? When your good housekeeper killed Zhang Wenyuan, he left some evidence."

"I'd like to see what evidence you have?" Song Kun frowned.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, then squatted down suddenly, grabbed the butler's left hand like lightning, and said coldly: "The evidence is here!"

Everyone stretched their necks to look, and saw that the housekeeper's hand was wrapped with a layer of cloth, and they all felt a little baffled.

Li Longji frowned and said, "What kind of evidence is this?"

Li Canghai said: "Your Majesty, when I inspected Zhang Wenyuan's body, I found some shreds of meat in the fingernails of Zhang Wenyuan's right hand, which seemed to be grabbed from the murderer when he committed the crime. And the back of this person's hand happened to be If you want to know whether he is the murderer, you only need to compare the scars on the back of his hand with the nails of the deceased."

Speaking of this, Li Canghai suddenly tore off the cloth strip on the back of the butler's hand, revealing three unclear scars.
