Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 42 Detective Di Online (2)

"I wonder what Di Qing thinks about the case of Yan Sheng?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"I don't dare to make rash judgments. I need to read the relevant files before I can answer Your Majesty!" Di Renjie said.

He still doesn't know what to do with this case. He needs to read the file and the clues that Changsun Wuji and the others found before he can have a clear idea.

Even with these things, Di Renjie didn't dare to boast. He said that the case could be solved, and he still needed to question witnesses to solve the case.

"These are the files of the case of Yan Sheng." Li Er said to the desk next to him.

Di Renjie walked over, picked up the files on the table and looked through them carefully. After reading one volume, he thought about it and went to the next volume.

An hour later, Di Renjie put down the last file in his hand.

"Di Qing has read the file, do you have any clues about this case?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Weichen already has some clues! It's just that we still need to interrogate the people related to this case." Di Renjie said.

"Okay! Quickly bring the relevant people to Qianqiu Hall for interrogation by Di Qing." His Majesty Li Er said.

He really wanted to know how good Di Renjie was.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not! How could the palace be used for interrogation?" Changsun Wuji was shocked!Hastily stood up and opposed.

Liangyi Hall is located in the inner court area, which is the inner court, and only a few ministers can enter to discuss state affairs with the emperor.

The Qianqiu Hall is the side hall on the west side of the Liangyi Hall, and it is by no means that ordinary people can enter it at will, let alone settle cases here.

"This time I will preside over the trial of the case, and Di Qing will interrogate the people related to the case. You don't need to say anything, just do it like this! If you can resolve the case as soon as possible, why do you need me to come to the trial?" Li Erdao.

Changsun Wuji and others were all speechless by Li Er's words!Since the emperor wanted to personally try the case, they had no choice but to summon the relevant people to Qianqiu Hall.

After everyone came together, Li Er said to Di Renjie: "Di Qing, let's start!"

Di Renjie bowed to Li Er, turned to look at the crowd and said, "I don't know who discovered the puppet that cursed His Majesty first."

"It was discovered by the little one." One person stood up and said.

"How did you find the puppet? Let me tell you the details." Di Renjie said.

The man said: "I happened to be walking on the street at that time, and I saw a figure flashing past my eyes, so I followed him to Yongjiafang out of curiosity, and saw that person turning over and entering a mansion..."

"The man who climbed over the wall must be very skillful, but how did you get in? Do you know what a crime is to break into a private house?"

"After you go in, what's inside?" Di Renjie said.

The man stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, and asked Yansheng politely why the case was related to breaking into private houses again.

He had never been there, so how would he know what was there.

"After the little one went in, he followed that person all the time. He didn't have time to take a closer look, so he didn't know what was there." The man said.

"Since you found the puppet that cursed His Majesty, why didn't you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to report the case and look for Sanqi Changshi Liu Ji?" Di Renjie said.

"This is because..." The man spoke out the lines he had already prepared, just like he did with Sun Fujia and others when he was interrogated, dealing with Di Renjie in front of him.

Di Renjie looked at Liu Ji and said, "Could the Sanqi Changshi tell you how you knew that the puppet was made by the crown prince and not someone else?"

"I heard from this person's description that the figure should be the guard of the Eastern Palace. I concluded that it was the crown prince who did it, and..." Liu Ji said to Di Renjie again with a set of explanations he had prepared.

He didn't believe it, even the old ministers like Changsun Wuji couldn't handle this case properly, so it's possible that this brat in front of him has some way to do it.

"Thank you!" Di Renjie bowed to Liu Ji, and continued, "Since the crown prince did it, why is it in Yongjiafang? Not elsewhere?"

"This is because the crown prince practiced the art of hating victory in Yongjiafang in order to deceive people. Yongjiafang is not far from the East Palace, and it is convenient to go back and forth." An official who supported Li Tai stood up and explained.

"Since the crown prince wants to deceive others, why didn't he find a hidden place outside the city? Isn't the East Palace closer, so why go to Yongjiafang?" Di Renjie asked.

The officials were speechless and didn't know how to answer.

"Dare to ask the prince! Do you have a private residence in Yongjiafang?" Di Renjie turned around and asked Li Chengqian.

"Of course not!" Li Chengqian said without hesitation, he had never been to Yongjiafang, and he didn't know how far it was from the East Palace.

"Since it's not the prince's private residence, how could the prince practice the technique of disgusting victory here, and for half a year, no one knew about it." Di Renjie said.

Li Er and the others frowned, Changsun Wuji and the others also looked suspicious, they actually forgot about this question.

Especially Sun Fujia, after listening to Di Renjie's words, he thought about it carefully and realized that there was something wrong with it. Yongjiafang is not a secluded place, so how could it take so long to be discovered.

They also asked people around Yongjiafang, but no one knew what happened, which was obviously unreasonable.

Di Renjie stepped forward to pick up the puppet and said, "Where did you say you found this puppet?"

"There is a small hole in a corner of the kitchen in a mansion in Yongjiafang, and the puppet is hidden in it." The man said.

"You are amazing, you can even hide in such a secret place, and you can discover it." Di Renjie laughed.

"It was purely an accident! I discovered it by accident." The man narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Have you checked the scene of the crime, gentlemen? Is it as this guy said?" Di Renjie looked at Sun Fujia and the others and asked.

"That's right! At that time, my eldest grandson Situ and Yang Zhongshuling investigated that place, just as he said." Sun Fujia nodded.

"Then, can the minister of Dali Temple tell your majesty and the crown prince what you saw?" Di Renjie said.

"It was like this at the time. My eldest grandson Situ, Yang Zhongshuling and I came to the scene of the crime. It was a kitchen. There was a small hole where the firewood was piled up in a corner of the kitchen, just enough to put the puppet down."

"After putting the puppets in, just cover them with firewood. The ground seems a little wet." Sun Fujia recalled the scene when they went to survey the terrain that day.

Di Renjie looked at Changsun Wuji and Yang Shidao, and they both nodded.

"This year there is a lot of rain in Chang'an, the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!" Di Renjie's sudden words made everyone puzzled, wondering what he was going to do?
"The kitchen always has to cook on weekdays. It is inevitable that there will be steam. In addition, there is plenty of rain this year, which makes the kitchen humid, and even the walls of the firewood stove are wet."

"This puppet is not affected. It has been placed in the kitchen for more than half a year, and it has not adhered to the slightest moisture. Even if it is dry, the wood that has been wet will be different from the wood that has not been wet, but this puppet is a little No problem."

"Don't you think it's strange?" Di Renjie said.
