Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 203 The Unexpected Suspect
When the officials retreated and Wang Xiaojie and Li Yiyan returned to the hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Li Yan couldn't help being a little nervous just now, after all, this kind of thing is really exciting.

The princess settled down and said: "The most difficult stage has passed, but the next step should not be taken lightly. Wang Wuwei, you already have some basic knowledge of our language. Next, I will teach you some of the most frequently spoken words of Zanpu..."

Wang Xiaojie said: "My voice is quite different from Zanpu's. Even if I learn these words, I will reveal my secrets when I speak."

The concubine had already made plans: "It's okay, just because of this assassination, Zanpu's throat was injured by the assassin as an excuse. It's normal for his voice to change. You can speak a few words with your throat pressed!"

Wang Xiaojie stumbled and said a few words in Tubo.

The concubine shook her head secretly, but on the surface she showed satisfaction, and encouraged: "Very good, just keep on learning like this, those courtiers won't be able to see any flaws!"

Wang Xiaojie is not as easy to coax as a child: "Are the Tibetans so easy to deceive? Wangfei, I am a rough person, but don't lie to me!"

The concubine rolled her eyes, and hurriedly comforted her: "Wang Wuwei, don't worry, I just learned that if I was surprised by your bravery, I was obviously worried that you would kill him on the spot. This time I leave the palace, I definitely don't dare to risk myself again!"

Wang Xiaojie sneered: "What a big talk, it's also a strong outsider!"

The princess said again: "Now we only need to deal with Zanpu's cronies headed by Shang Lun Chamo. Fortunately, they really care about Zanpu, and they can use their physical discomfort to excuse themselves when they ask for a meeting!"

Wang Xiaojie said: "It's hard to delay this matter, especially if you want to set up a censor, and the tribal leaders from all sides will gather in Wangcheng, Zanpu is needed to preside over the alliance... Sigh, I will try my best to learn!"

Life is at stake, the princess could only nod her head: "Then leave it to Wang Wuwei!"

Li Yan watched Wang Xiaojie gradually take the initiative from the side, and smiled slightly.

It is precisely because Wang Xiaojie has the potential to stand alone that he will agree to this plan, otherwise it will only be useless.

The concubine also saw that the substitute was not easy to control, she felt lost, and turned her gaze: "Deputy envoy Li, can the assassin really be caught? How long will it take to investigate the case?"

Li Yandao: "I can't guarantee whether the assassin can be caught. If the assassin leaves the palace, he will be sent directly out of the royal city by the Gar family and flee far away. Then I have nothing to do. If the assassin stays in the royal city , I have some hope... let's limit this case to ten days!"

The princess frowned: "Ten days... isn't it a bit slow?"

Li Yan said sincerely: "I like to get to the bottom of the investigation. After ten days of investigation, many things may change."

The princess didn't know why, but she also knew that everyone was in the same boat, so she squeezed out a smile and said, "Then I'll leave it to Deputy Envoy Li!"

The crowd dispersed.

Li Yiyan was getting old, so he went back to rest first, Wang Xiaojie and the princess took the time to learn foreign languages, and Li Yan brought the female general Zhu Dan back to the assassination scene.

……

"These three were the ones who witnessed the assassin's figure at that time?"

In Zanpu's bedroom, Li Yan looked at the three court ladies who had been recruited: "Tell me what an assassin looks like."

The three palace maids spoke in Tubo words one by one. After Zhu Dan listened, she summarized and translated: "The assassin is a man, tall and tall, half a head shorter than Deputy Li, dressed in black all over his body, and covered his face with a black cloth." , only the eyes and eyebrows are exposed, the rest is not clear."

Li Yan frowned: "That is to say, apart from not seeing the whole face, they saw the features of the assassin's eyebrows and eyes, tall, short, fat and thin, and his figure?"

After Zhu Dan confirmed again, he nodded and said: "Yes, Vice Envoy Li needn't be surprised, they have all practiced martial arts, and they have served as guards to protect the princess on weekdays, and they have been followers of the Wulu family since their ancestors, so there is no need to doubt their loyalty. "

Li Yan nodded, and ordered: "Return to the positions you were in when you were guarding before."

The three maids immediately separated, one guarded the gate, and the other two stood not far from the bed where Zanpu slept.

Li Yan glanced: "How many guards were there in the palace at that time?"

Zhu Dan said: "There are ten guards, but there are only six on weekdays. The princess is also worried that the Gar family will take risks, so she sent more guards."

Li Yan thought it was really shabby: "Call them all over, and take their places."

Not long after, all ten court ladies stood up. Li Yan looked around and asked, "Are they patrolling? Or are they just standing there?"

Zhu Dan said: "They just stood where they were. If they were patrolling, the sound of their footsteps would easily disturb the king's sleep."

Li Yan pondered for a while, and ordered: "Take a piece of wood and put it where Zanpu sleeps."

Zhu Dan didn't know what to do, and Li Yan said: "Next, I will pretend to be an assassin, and that piece of wood is like Zanpu. If I throw an arrow, it means that the assassin has hurt Zanpu. I'm a normal guard here, look at how I'm dressed, do you understand?"

The crowd nodded.

But already on guard, how could it be possible to guard normally?

Every one of them stared wide-eyed, some at the door, some at the boards.

However, after waiting and waiting, no one came in.

A quarter of an hour later, a figure suddenly rushed in, only flashed back and forth, and screamed.

Everyone, including Zhu Dan, didn't see what the visitor looked like, followed the screaming lady's direction, and saw an arrow stuck in the wooden board, buzzing and trembling.

After a while, Li Yan walked in: "I just went back and changed into a robe. Can you see clearly what kind of clothes it is, and is it covered?"

The girls were stunned, dumbfounded and speechless.

Li Yan looked at the three witnesses one by one, they shook their heads repeatedly, and then anxiously explained.

Zhu Dan was both admiring and apprehensive, and hurriedly explained: "Vice Envoy Li, they don't know what you look like at all, but they really didn't lie."

Li Yan raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, I don't think they are lying, I just think this is a bit strange."

"Let's put it this way, I have practiced a kind of Buddhist strength. After opening the eye consciousness, I am extremely sensitive to the gaze, and can accurately grasp whether others have seen me, and similar abilities are more or less impossible in masters. Have."

"That assassin was so powerful that he was able to sneak into the palace without making a sound, but was witnessed by three maids at the same time, which is very strange..."

Zhu Dan said: "Perhaps the assassin's martial arts are not as good as Deputy Li's?"

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's try again."

Everyone takes their places.

Another quarter of an hour later, Zhu Dan heard a thud, and the board fixed his eyes on the second arrow.

But this time there was no scream, because she was shocked to find that all ten maids had been knocked out in advance.

Li Yan stepped out of the darkness: "I'm very gentle, you go and shake them awake."

After Zhu Dan woke up the maid, Li Yan started to pace:
"I only used seven points of strength just now. I imitated an assassin whose martial arts are not as good as mine. I broke in through the back window and solved it one by one guard."

"There are not many guards, there are only ten of them in total, they stand scattered and do not patrol, knocking them out or killing them, and then assassinating Zanpu, is the least easy way to expose yourself!"

"But in fact, the assassin didn't do that."

"The assassin broke in directly, and easily injured Zamp without dealing with a single guard."

"It happened to be witnessed by three guards again, revealing a lot of characteristics, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Yan was immersed in it, but did not receive any response. Looking back, he saw Zhu Dan standing not far away in a daze, without consciously following him.

"All right……"

Li Yan misses Di Pangpang very much, so he can only shake his head and laugh: "We can't come to a conclusion now, maybe the assassin has high eyesight but low skills, and has no self-knowledge, and underestimated the strength of the guards, but if it is for other purposes... that would be interesting!"

He continued to turn around in the palace, and suddenly asked: "Have any foreign ministers visited the bedroom of Zanpu and the princess?"

Zhu Dan thought about it carefully and said: "No."

Li Yan asked again: "Where is the medical officer?"

Zhu Dan said: "We in Tubo do not have full-time medical officers. The first doctors were priests of the Yongzhong God Sect. Later, Songtsan Gampo didn't like the Yongzhong Sect followers, so he invited eminent Buddhist monks to the palace to see a doctor."

Li Yan thought of the little Ming King Kumara carrying a silver needle with him, and he was full of confidence in treating Wu Minzhi, and suddenly said: "I don't understand this, so when the Buddhist eminent monks are treating Zanpu, are they in another place?"

Zhu Dan said: "In Fa Wang's palace, but the king doesn't trust Buddhists very much, and the princess has some medical skills, and I usually cook the medicinal soup, so the eminent monks will not come to the palace."

Li Yan concluded: "Therefore, no foreign officials from Tubo have visited this palace, and no one understands its structure, right?"

Zhudan thought carefully and said affirmatively, "No minister has ever been here."

Li Yandao: "Obviously the foreign officials of Tubo have never entered the palace, but that assassin did not break in through the back window, but arrogantly barged in through the front door, and injured Zanpu with a palm, what a master of art!"

Zhu Dan finally came to his senses at this point: "From this point of view, the assassin's martial arts are so powerful that he can come and go without a trace, but he deliberately let people see him? Why did he do this?"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't know yet, just keep checking!"

After thoroughly searching the crime scene, he walked out, and was about to find out what to do, when a female guard rushed over and whispered something in Zhudan's ear.

If it was changed to before, Zhu Dan would be refreshed, but at this time her face also showed doubts: "There is another witness, this time I even saw the assassin's face, and even drew a picture!"

Li Yan raised his brows: "That's such a coincidence, what about painting?"

The female guard took it out, and Zhu Dan said, "Give it to Vice Envoy Li first!"

When Li Yan saw the portrait, his expression became concentrated, and he handed it to the three maids: "Look, are the eyebrows and eyes of the assassin the person in the portrait?"

The three maids carefully identified and nodded one after another: "This is the man, we remember those fierce eyes and eyebrows very clearly."

Li Yan handed it to Zhu Dan again: "Look, is this person familiar?"

Zhu Dan took a closer look, and his face suddenly changed: "Isn't this someone from your country's diplomatic mission?"

"That's right, this person's name is Shen Juyuan."

Li Yan said coldly: "As identified by the witnesses, Shen Juyuan, my envoy from the Tang Dynasty, became a suspect in the assassination of Tubo Zanpu!"
