Ultra-dimensional kill

Chapter 17 Investigation
He tried his best to reject all the opinions of the royal family's uncles and elders, and he did not hesitate to hurt the hearts of the thirteen sons, but he was unwilling to severely punish the eighth son!

It's not that he loves his eighth son so much. If he wants to say that his favorite son is naturally the eldest prince whom he made the crown prince, Zhou Minggan.

The so-called people dote on young children, and the emperor dotes on the eldest son.

That's it.

But the reason why he wanted to protect the eighth son was, in the final analysis, because he didn't want to kill each other.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat babies, let alone humans.

Moreover, I don't know if it's because of his old age. He no longer has the ambitions of his youth for the imperial power and hegemony, but he likes to enjoy family happiness more and more.

Even if he wasn't the eighth prince, if he were any other prince, he would not be willing to give him the death penalty as a warning to others.

Although, it is true that I feel sorry for Shisanzi, but there is no way, someone has to be wronged in everything.

But I never expected that something that I didn't want to happen, just happened!
The eighth son he tried so hard to protect died after entering the clan mansion!
For a moment, the old emperor's mood can be said to be extremely frightened and angry.He looked fiercely at the steward of the clan mansion in front of the desk, and asked sharply, "Say! What's going on!"

The steward of the clan's mansion had already knelt on the ground at this time, and replied tremblingly: "Eighth, the eighth prince...he was poisoned to death!"

Afterwards, he told the details of the incident.

After Zhou Mingcheng died, he immediately sealed off the clan mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Afterwards, the imperial physician came and conducted an autopsy on Zhou Mingcheng, and found that Zhou Mingcheng died of poisoning.

After checking everything and everything in the room, it was finally found that the drinking water had been poisoned!

After tracing the source, the source of the poison was finally found in the water tank in the courtyard of the Jingsi room.

A purse enclosing a bar of silver.

The silver is not poisonous, but the money bag containing the silver contains the highly poisonous "sweet poison".

"Ganqing poison! It's Ganqing poison again!!"

The old emperor yelled angrily, "Where's the murderer?!"

Hearing this, the steward of the clan's mansion couldn't help being silent for a moment, and then replied tremblingly: "No, no murderer was found..."

They found the purse, but they did not find the owner of the purse.

After the eighth prince was poisoned by Ganqing poison, the heart-piercing screams resounded through the clan mansion, and everyone heard it.

Therefore, when they found the money bag in the water tank and asked who it belonged to, no one admitted it foolishly.

In the end, he could only list everyone present as suspects and imprison them all.

"Trash! You rubbish!"

Hearing that the murderer was not found, the old emperor was completely furious. He picked up a memorial of later generations on the table and slammed it on the steward of the clan's mansion with a "slap", swearing loudly.

He scolded so hard that the chief eunuchs around him didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The steward of that clan's mansion was even more so, he could only kneel on the ground, trembling, and let himself be abused and smashed.

That night, it was said that the old emperor's angry curses seemed to be heard in the entire palace.

Of course, this is an exaggeration.

But it is true that with the Imperial Study Room as the center and the nearby palaces with a radius of a kilometer, the yelling can be heard.

In the second half of the night, Song Renfeng was summoned into the palace overnight, and once again took full charge of investigating the death of the eighth prince Zhou Mingcheng.

And this No. [-] detective of the Great Zhou, the first person to investigate was Su Ling!
……

"I disturbed His Highness the Thirteenth Highness's dream in the middle of the night, and I still looked at the Thirteenth Highness Haihan, because the situation was urgent and it was absolutely necessary."

When Song Renfeng brought a group of guards and knocked on the gate of the Prince's Pavilion, the sky was still hazy, before dawn.

What surprised Song Renfeng was that Su Ling didn't sleep!
"Why is Your Highness the Thirteenth Sleepless late at night?"

After Xiaodie opened the door and led Song Renfeng to Su Ling's room in the courtyard, Song Renfeng looked at Su Ling who was sitting on the bed, and asked in surprise.

Su Ling gave a wry smile, and asked back: "If you were me, would you be able to sleep?"

Song Renfeng was speechless.

The main reason why he was the first to approach Su Ling was that, according to the logic of the case investigation, the thirteenth prince was most suspected of the eighth prince's death!
He was poisoned by the eighth prince a few days ago. Now that the eighth prince was caught in the palace and locked up in the clan mansion, he died of poisoning within a day. Anyone would be the first to suspect the thirteenth prince who had the greatest gap with him these days is the murderer.

If Song Renfeng were the thirteenth prince, he really couldn't sleep at this time.

However, you can't judge that the other party is not the murderer based on this, you still have to investigate.

"Thirteenth Highness, it seems that you already know about the Eighth Prince, so please answer a few questions for me!"

After being speechless for a moment, Song Renfeng looked directly into Su Ling's eyes and spoke.

Su Ling also met his gaze, nodded and said: "Ask."

Afterwards, Song Renfeng asked Su Ling a series of questions at a very fast speed, such as when and where, what did he do, who did he know, what did he eat today, what he was doing recently and so on.

Some about the case, some unrelated to the case, and some inexplicable, the thinking is extremely escaping, and the speaking speed is fast.

And Su Ling answered honestly one by one.

His whereabouts these days were witnessed by Xiaodie and the bodyguards of the Prince's Pavilion, as well as court ladies and eunuchs from the imperial hospital and some other palaces, the alibi was seamless.

As for the other party's extremely fast speech and those out-of-the-box thinking, for Su Ling, they are still too conservative, and they can't reach the point where Su Ling can't change his mind and blurt out something subconsciously.

After inquiring and seeing that there was nothing unusual, Song Renfeng suddenly took out the coarse linen money bag containing silver ingots, and asked, "Has Your Highness Thirteen seen this kind of money bag?"

Su Ling took a look, then shook his head and said, "No."

Song Renfeng didn't look at him at this time, but glanced at Xiaodie in the corner from the corner of his eye.

But only saw Xiaodie with a dazed face.

This made Song Renfeng frown slightly.

"Okay, I'm done asking. Thank you His Highness the Thirteenth Highness for your cooperation. I'm really sorry for bothering you until now."

Seeing that he didn't ask anything, and the expression on the face of the thirteenth prince didn't show any clues, Song Renfeng didn't stay any longer, and after apologizing, he left the Prince's Pavilion with a group of guards.

Afterwards, he left the palace non-stop for a moment, and headed towards the prince's mansions in the capital.

Although the eighth prince is not a prince, but now he is being poisoned to death, it cannot be said that the other princes are completely impossible to be the murderer.

After all, the royal family's infighting and intrigue have been known to all since ancient times.

Sometimes when two parties fight, the one who dies may not be one of the two parties, but someone else.

The investigation is to follow every possibility to investigate.

So, Song Renfeng began to investigate and interrogate the princes.

Then, he was confused...

What the hell are these princes? !
How come some people speak more outrageously than him? !
There are also some, the clumsy acting skills are so embarrassing that he can't help but pick the soles of his feet!
He even discovered that one of the princes behaved like a woman!
It gave him a chill.

He has long heard that the people in the royal family are very chaotic, some of them are as good as Long Yang, he has opened his eyes today!

After a thorough investigation, Song Renfeng only felt that those "wonderful" princes were all suspects!
This gave him a headache.

And Su Ling, who has been paying attention to Song Renfeng's investigation through the feedback of [self-knowledge], almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw him interacting with the princes who were thrown into the "player" and was tortured so badly.

Especially the prince who was joined by a female player, the "interaction" between the two made him laugh every time he saw it.

"Fourth prince, may I ask what you have been doing these past few days, do you have proof..."

"Thinking of you~"

"...Fourth Prince, please answer the lower official's question directly."

"It turns out Master Song likes the front. What a coincidence, I like it too, but the back is also fine, hehe."

"...Fourth Prince, please don't tell the lower officials that it doesn't matter..."

"Then let's not talk, just do it!"

"...Every word and deed of this official and the fourth prince today will be reported to the emperor, and please pay attention to his own words and deeds!"

"Oh, you are so boring! This king just wants you to know something!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Forget it, loyal words are harsh, Master Song will definitely not want to hear them."

"Fourth prince, it's okay to talk!"

"really?"

"really!"

"All right……"

"Actually, what I want to say is that sometimes what is shouldered on your shoulders is not necessarily responsibility, what stabs you in the back is not necessarily a knife, and screaming is not necessarily pain... Mr. Song is a talented person, but have you ever thought about shouldering this king? Responsibility?"

"...Fourth Prince, please respect yourself!"
