Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 852 Nalu
Wang Mang and Renjie fixed their eyes on her.

Na Lu smiled covertly, "Damn, of course not."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and asked, "Your Highness, are you sure?"

Nalu calmed down and said, "Of course."

Di Renjie nodded, and concluded: "The cause of the king's death is very strange. Judging from the facial symptoms, it looks like poisoning, but judging from the degree of pupil dilation, it seems to be caused by extreme shock.

His fingers and toes were all disabled, judging from the wounds that they were cut with a sharp weapon.

According to the princess, when she heard the voice, she ran to the Gold and Silver Corridor and saw His Majesty the King in a state of insanity, wielding a steel knife in his hand, covered in blood. From this, he judged that the king must have caused self-mutilation.

That being the case, why did the thumb and toe mysteriously disappear after his death? "

Nalu said, "Could it be that the guards were careless and didn't find it?"

Di Renjie pondered: "Well, there is such a possibility."

At this time, Wang Mang said: "My lord, Your Highness, everyone, I think so, let's go to the Gold and Silver Corridor immediately, and search carefully."

Na Lu nodded, "Okay."

On both sides of the Gold and Silver Corridor are guards of the inner palace guarded by Dutch armor.

With the sound of footsteps, Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai, Zhongjie, Wei it, and Qiongta walked in under the guidance of Princess Nalu.

Wang Mang stood in the corridor, looking around with a pair of eagle eyes, and saw all kinds of exquisite gold and silverware products displayed in the gold and silver corridor. soft chair.

On the table are wind lanterns and a gilded Hu figurine.

Wang Mang walked slowly to the table and looked closely.

He saw a layer of black dust scattered on the table. He picked up a handful and twisted it in his hands. The dust was very smooth.

He looked at the wind lamp next to him again, and saw that the edge of the lampshade was also covered with the same black dust. He took the wind lamp and looked inside, and was surprised at the moment. The inside of the lamp was densely covered with a thick layer of black dust. Apparently it fell after burning.

At this time, Di Renjie came over: "Jing Yang, what is this?"

Wang Mang looked at the black powder and pondered: "It seems..."

Wang Mang fell into deep thought.

At this time, Di Renjie waved to Zeng Tai, and Zeng Tai stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice, "Master."

Di Renjie pointed to the black dust on the table and in the lantern, and ordered in a low voice: "Collect the dust and bring it back to the post."

Zeng Tai nodded and moved his hands.

Zhongjie walked to his side and said softly: "Donggong, what did you find?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "It's hard to say now. But one thing is certain, the king's death was definitely not accidental."

Zhong Jie raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh, what Di Gong means...was the king killed by someone?"

Di Renjie let out a "shh", and said in a low voice, "Don't say it, don't say it. Only you know and I know."

Zhong Jie frowned, and nodded slowly.

Di Renjie walked to Nalu's side and said, "Your Highness, where was the king when the incident happened?"

Nalu pointed to the center of the Gold and Silver Corridor and said, "He's standing right here, holding a steel knife, covered in blood, screaming and jumping."

Di Renjie walked over quickly, and the ground was indeed stained with a large amount of blood.

Di Renjie walked forward slowly along the bloodstains, after a few steps, the scattered bloodstains turned around, and Di Renjie walked forward in the direction where the bloodstains extended.

The bloodstains stopped in front of the french window, and half a footprint was vaguely printed beside it.

Di Renjie was startled secretly, and shouted: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, Zeng Tai..."

The three stepped forward quickly, Di Renjie pointed at the ground, and the three looked intently.

Wang Mang exclaimed in surprise, "Blood footprints!"

Na Lu, Zhong Jie and others surrounded him after hearing the words.

Commissioned it to say: "Whose footprint is this, my brother's?"

Wang Mang said categorically, "It's absolutely impossible."

Zhong Jie hurriedly asked: "Why?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Think about it, the king's toes were cut off and the blood flowed profusely. If he walked from the corridor to the window, the bloody footprints would definitely continue."

Zhongjie suddenly realized: "Yes, yes. Then whose footprints are these, the guard's?"

At this moment, Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Of course not. Come and see..."

As he said that, he walked quickly to the place where the chaplain died, pointed to the large bloodstain on the ground and said, "This is where the king bleeds from a cut, so it is stained with a large bloodstain."

The crowd nodded yes.

Di Renjie walked forward in the direction where the bloodstains continued, and pointed, "Look, the bloodstains have turned into blood drops here and there. What does that mean?"

Zhong Jie, Na Lu and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Suddenly, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said, "My lord, I seem to know."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Wang Mang pointed to the blood and said, "Someone walked up to the mad king, picked up his thumb and big toe, and walked all the way to the window.

These little spots of blood dripped from the severed thumb and toe. "

Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Well said, to the point!"

Zhongjie, Nalu and others exclaimed again and again.

Wei it asked: "You mean, after my brother was cut, someone picked up his bones and walked to the window?"

Di Renjie said: "Exactly. This person walked to the window with his severed finger in his hand, and the blood dripped on the ground. His heel accidentally stepped on the blood, so he left this half footprint in front of the window."

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said, "Master, it can be concluded that this person must have jumped out of the window and gone to the back garden."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "That's right, please follow me."

With that said, he walked quickly outside.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang came to the window.

Sure enough, there were stars and blood stains on the ground heading towards the back garden.

Di Renjie said: "Everyone has seen it. This person took the king's bones and went to the back garden."

Zhongjie took a breath, looked at Wei it and Qiongta, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Di, why does this person want to pick up the king's bones? He, who is he?"

Di Renjie said: "This question is still unanswerable..."

He turned to Narudao, "Your Highness, the only witnesses at the scene were you and the guards. I wonder if you have spotted this mysterious figure?"

Nalu took a deep breath and said, "When I arrived, the king was covered in blood and behaved insanely. The guards and I were busy rescuing the king. How could we care about these things?"

Zhong Jie said: "The harem is strictly guarded, how can outsiders get in? I think there must be an inner ghost!"

Wei it said: "I think so too, Mr. Di, could it be this ghost who killed my brother?"

As he spoke, his eyes shot at Na Lu.

Di Renjie said: "Judging from the evidence left at the scene, this person entered the Gold and Silver Gallery after the king went mad."

Wei it nodded slowly.

Nalu said: "During our rescue of the king, we didn't find anyone coming at all. Mr. Di, do you think a small animal ran into the Gold and Silver Corridor and snatched away the king's bones?"

Wei it robbed and said: "The footprint under the window is not that of a small animal, it is obviously a person! Can't Her Royal Highness even see this?"

Na Lu knew he had made a slip of the tongue and glanced at him, then said coldly: "I'm just asking casually, the prince don't need to be nervous."

Commissioned it to fight back: "I'm nervous, why should I be nervous? I'm afraid there are other people who are nervous?"

Nalu raised her brows firmly: "What does the prince mean by this?"

Wei it sneered and said: "What can I mean? If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts calling your door. Why should your highness be so heartless!"

Na Lu said, "You..."

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to argue, let's go to the back garden and see if we can find the king's lost bones."

Di Renjie led the crowd to walk slowly along the bloodstains.

Wang Mang and others followed closely behind.

The blood stains were like signposts leading Di Renjie and his party to the abandoned palace in the back garden.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other, and they took a deep breath.
