Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 461 Jealousy
"Brother Li, just speak directly." Conan rubbed his temples and said.

"Actually, if we want to find out who the murderer is, it's mainly on this bowl of snake soup." Li Canghai picked up the half bowl of snake soup left before, looked at the crowd, and then continued: "About the snake in the swamp. , It can be described as twists and turns. The cook said that the fat guard told him, and the fat guard said that the thin guard told him, and the thin guard said that he learned about it from Ling Ji. So the question is, how did Ling Ji know? ?”

Ling Ji was slightly taken aback, and said: "This servant has never said this to Nobi-jun, just now Nobi-jun also said that he himself slept in a sleepless night, I don't know who told him!"

Li Canghai glanced at her, and said, "That's right, the skinny guard is a bit confused, he may have remembered wrongly, but there is also the possibility that he did not remember wrongly."

Ling Ji raised her eyebrows slightly, shook her head and said, "This servant really doesn't know."

"Oh, you really don't know?" Li Canghai stared at her, his tone suddenly became serious.

"Your servant really doesn't know! When the princess was here, the servant always served her. Later, when the princess said she was going out to pick epiphyllum, the servant kept pretending to be the princess in the hall and never left the hall. How could she know this? ?” Ling Ji said eagerly.

Li Canghai touched his chin and said calmly: "After discovering the princess's body, Brother Conan immediately imprisoned you. During this period, you should not have seen anyone except me, right? If you don't know this, how can you Would you know that the swamp is located east of the shrine?"

Lingji's breathing immediately became short of breath. She looked at Li Canghai nervously, bit her lip and said, "Slave... Slave overheard."

"Since the princess was killed, there are only a handful of people who know the location of the swamp. What's more, Brother Conan strictly forbids everyone to discuss this matter in private. How could you hear this when you were imprisoned in the stone house?" Li Canghai said indifferently.

"Because..." Lingji's face changed slightly, she seemed a little flustered, and she also stuttered.

Li Canghai stared at her, and said word by word: "Because, you are the real murderer who killed the princess!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Even Conan looked astonished, looking at Li Canghai in surprise.

Ling Ji's face paled for a moment, and she shouted: "No! The servant did not kill the princess! I am wronged! The servant really did not kill the princess!"

"Brother Li, did you make a mistake? She is the princess's personal maid, how could she harm the princess?" Conan said in surprise.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "Because she is the princess's personal maid, no one will suspect her."

"How is this possible? Why did she kill the princess? What's the reason?" Conan said with a frown.

"Because of jealousy." Li Canghai said deeply.

Hearing this, Ling Ji's delicate body trembled involuntarily.

Conan looked at Ling Ji, frowned and said, "Killing the princess just because of jealousy? But it doesn't make sense, Ling Ji has never left the shrine, how did she know that there are snakes in the swamp east of the shrine? The one who transported the princess' body to the swamp?"

Li Canghai said: "When it comes to this matter, one of her accomplice Zhang Da has to be mentioned!"

He clapped his hands, and a guard immediately took a bucket of water and poured it on the face of the unconscious man with his head drooping.

The man was awakened by the cold water, and was about to yell, but suddenly saw the crowd in front of him, and was stunned.

When Wanyu saw the man, she immediately became angry, and suddenly drew out her bronze sharp sword, cursed angrily, raised her sword and slashed at him.

Seeing this, Li Canghai hurriedly grabbed Wanyu's wrist.

Wanyu's small body trembled constantly due to anger, it seemed that she wanted to tear the man into pieces.

When the man saw Wanyu, his face turned pale with fright.

"Wanyu, save his dog's life for now, and after the truth is found out, it won't be too late to kill him." Li Canghai comforted.

Wanyu bit her lip, trying desperately to control her anger, thinking that she was almost insulted by this villain, Wanyu was extremely angry.

But she also knew that now was not the time to kill him, Wanyu flicked her wrist, and the ancient bronze sword flew out of her hand.

With a bang, the long sword was directly nailed into the tree trunk on the man's shoulder. The sharp blade was only half a finger away from the man's head, which made him pee suddenly.

Li Canghai said coldly: "This person's name is not Zhang Da at all. His name is Hong Tianxu. He is a businessman from the Huainan Chamber of Commerce. His alias is Zhang Da. He colluded with Ling Ji and secretly killed the princess. There was a snake in the swamp. , is exactly what he said to Lingji."

"I didn't kill anyone, don't you want to wrong me!" Seeing that his identity was exposed, Hong Tianxu hurriedly shouted.

"What's going on?" Conan's face was serious, his brows were wrinkled, and he asked, "Brother Li, how do you know that he is an accomplice?"

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said: "Actually, since you left Dongpu, Lingji has already made a plan to kill the princess. It's just that she has no chance on the boat, but when she comes to this island, she has a chance." The real arrival. And all of this starts with Hong Tianxu."

"Oh?" Conan put his hands on his chest and listened carefully to what Li Canghai said.

"Hong Tianxu is shrewd, well-informed, and extremely feminine. Lingji took advantage of this to make him willingly become an accomplice." Li Canghai swept Hong Tianxu and Lingji. , said lightly: "If I'm not wrong, Lingji used her beauty to doubt Hong Tianxu at the beginning, and secretly communicated with him to design the song to kill the princess. When Lingji wanted to kill the princess, Hong Tianxu mentioned Snake in the swamp, the two of them set up this plan. First, let the cook make snake soup, poison the princess to death, and then transfer the princess's body to the swamp. After that, they used "night flowers" to confuse the public. In this way, the princess's Death becomes an accident."

"Of course, this is just a part of your plan. Lingji knows that brother Conan is a criminal officer in Japan and is good at solving crimes. Just in case, she asked the cook to leave half a bowl of snake soup to blame him, right?" Li Canghai stared at the two of them and said.

The cook almost jumped up when he heard the words, and he shouted, "What? You actually want to frame me? Well, no wonder you told me that the princess thinks the snake soup is delicious, let me make more!"

"I didn't! I didn't kill the princess, and I didn't conspire with him. I was wronged! My lord, the servant is wronged!" Ling Ji cried to Conan with a pale face and panic.

Hong Tianxu's face was also ugly, and he shouted: "Nonsense! You are framing! I am a troubled businessman, how dare I kill the princess? You say I conspired with her, but I want to ask you, where is the evidence?"

Li Canghai glanced at him, and said coldly, "You want to see the evidence? Okay, I'll show you the evidence!"
