Chapter 418 Quickly solve the case
Tang Jing was flattered by Chen Xi's praise, but also became excited, saying, "So far, Bei Zhi has discovered several questions."
"You said." Chen Xi looked at Tang Jing with interest.
"First of all, why did the real person put medicine in the tea?" Tang Jing said solemnly: "Although there is only one cup of tea, it is impossible for the real person to drink it himself. Bei Zhi learned about it in Taoist temple that the real person lives alone in a yard, and usually only a little Taoist priest named Xuanzhen is serving him. However, after serving him every day, the little Taoist priest will leave and not disturb the real person. However, the little Taoist priest serves the real person's food. Bei Zhi asked Xuanzhen if anyone had seen the real person secretly that night. Although no one had seen the little Taoist priest,... Bei Zhi could detect that he stuttered and his eyes flashed when he spoke, and he was clearly lying."
"It makes sense." Chen Xi smiled and said, "So Tang Fucheng thinks that the little Taoist Xuanzhen didn't tell the truth?"
"No." Tang Jing said confidently: "Xuan Zhen must be lying, he must know that someone must have secretly met the real person that night."
Chen Xi asked: "Since he knows that someone wants to see a real person, why don't he tell the truth? The real person was killed, no matter who went to see the real person that night, there was a major suspicion. If he wanted us to find the real murderer as soon as possible, he should tell the truth about what he knew, why did he avoid saying that?"
"Mr. Chen was so angry." Xia Yanzhi felt that he was neglected. Hearing what Chen Xi said, he rushed to say without waiting for Tang Jing to speak: "Does that little Taoist priest know who the real murderer is? Tang Fucheng, where is that little Taoist priest now?"
"Beizhi has already made people watch him in Taoism." Tang Jing couldn't help but curse, but he was still very respectful on his face.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Xia is right. The little Taoist priest is evasive and must have known some inside information."
"So we can go back to the crime scene." Tang Jing seemed very smart: "Sir, the real person was wearing only a pair of pants and naked upper body, which means he was ready to rest at that time. There was half a cup of tea on the table, and it was drugged inside. If the real person knew that the drug was drugged inside, it would never be possible that he would be preparing to drink tea himself."
"That's natural." Xia Yanzhi nodded slightly and stroked his beard.
"If it's not for yourself, it's for the guests." Tang Jing analyzed: "But when the real person was killed, it was when he was about to rest. If the real person knew that there was a visitor, the guest could only be before and had left, otherwise the real person would not take off his clothes and go to bed. There are two questions. First, the real person prepares tea for the guests, why did he take medicine? What kind of guest is that? Second, if the guest does not drink tea and leaves directly, according to common sense, the real person should clean up the remaining tea first. It is impossible to leave the cup of medicine before going to bed." His eyebrows locked up and said: "Only by explaining these two questions can we figure out what happened on the night of the incident."
Chen Xi smiled even stronger: "Can Cheng Tang explain these two questions?"
"I thought about it all over the place, but I thought of a possibility." Tang Jing said seriously: "That cup of tea is not actually prepared for the guests, but a real person drinks tea before going to bed."
"No, Tang Fucheng, you just said that the real person knew that the medicine was given in the tea, so it was impossible for him to prepare it." Xia Yanzhi immediately retorted.
Tang Jing nodded and said, "What the lord said is that if you know that the tea is drugged, the real person will certainly not drink tea. But in fact, the real person does not know that the tea is drugged, and there is someone else who is drugged."
Everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
"Who is it?" Xia Yanzhi asked.
Tang Jing said word by word: "Xuanzhen little Taoist priest."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Are you saying that the little Taoist Xuanzhen poisoned the real person's tea?" Xia Yanzhi said in surprise: "How is this possible? Hong Ling is the master of the Longevity Temple. The little Taoist Xuanzhen is just a little Taoist in the Taoist temple who is responsible for serving the real person. How dare he put medicine in the real person's tea? What is the purpose of his medicine?"
Tang Jing did not answer immediately and said to a person: "Captain Fang, you went to the Taoist temple with me that night, and you took someone to investigate the scene. When I asked the little Taoist priest, you were also present. Do you remember that I asked him at that time, how did the real person treat him on weekdays?"
"Remember the humble one." The headmaster said hurriedly: "The little Taoist said that the real person treats him like a son and is very caring, but his tone is not sincere. Therefore, the master warned him that he could know his relationship with the real person by just checking it and told the truth. Therefore, the little Taoist changed his words and said that Hong Ling treats him like a cow and horse, and if he is not careful, he will either beat or scold him."
Tang Jing nodded and said, "That's true. The little Taoist Xuanzhen was sent to the Taoist Temple of Changsheng at the age of eight and became a little Taoist boy. When he was eleven, he began to serve the real person. Xu Beizhi said bluntly that the real person was quite strict with the little Taoist boy, and beating and scolding was common, perhaps to train the little Taoist Xuanzhen. However, the little Taoist did not understand the hard work of the real person and was resentful, which was not impossible." He bowed to Chen Xi and said, "So Beizhi thought that the killing of the real person may be related to the little Taoist Xuanzhen."
When Xia Yanzhi heard this, he looked annoyed: "Chief Tang Mansion, why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Sir, it's not that I don't report it, it's just that it's important. There's no evidence to prove that the little Taoist priest is directly related to the death of the real person." Tang Jing hurriedly said: "I want to check again, and then report it to the master when it is confirmed. Otherwise, if you report these things based on your own suspicion, it will interfere with the master's judgment. That's a crime."
Xia Yanzhi just said no, and said nothing.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Chief Tang, according to your judgment, it is the little Taoist Xuanzhen who has resentment towards the real person, so he killed the real person?"
"No, no." Tang Jing waved his hand and said: "Wei Zhi just said that the little Taoist Xuanzhen is related to this case. He cannot be said to be the murderer who killed the real person. The little Taoist Xuanzhen is fifteen years old this year, but he is weak and cannot be good at archery. Even if he really knows how to shoot arrows, he cannot have the ability to penetrate the throat with one arrow, so the murderer who shot the real person cannot be Xuanzhen." After hesitating for a moment, he said: "But the person who wants to kill the real person is probably Xuanzhen."
"I have insight." Chen Xi nodded slightly, with a hint of encouragement: "Tang Fucheng, Xuan Zhen was beaten and scolded by the real person and felt resentful because he was beaten and scolded by the real person, so he wanted to kill the real person, but it was not him who killed the real person. How can this be explained?"
"Buy - murder!" Tang Jing finally spit out his judgment.
Everyone present changed color slightly.
"Everyone, there is another extremely strange thing about this case, that is the weapon." Tang Jing saw that everyone was looking at him and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, after the murderer killed someone, the most important thing is to deal with the weapon, and people will never find it. But this case is very strange. The weapon of the murder is thrown in the forest next to the Taoist temple, and even his clothes are left. Why is this?"
Xia Yanzhi heard Tang Jing's analysis and couldn't help asking: "What do you think is the reason?"
"This is the cunning of the murderer." Tang Jing sneered: "Xuan Zhen serves the real person to eat and stay. That cup of tea is naturally Xuan Zhen prepared for the real person. The reason is that Xuan Zhen knows that there will be assassins to assassinate the real person at night. After the real person drinks the tea, his whole body is weak and he is even more powerless to resist. In this way, the assassin will be foolproof when he commits the murder. If no clue is left after the assassin kills people, we will eventually find out that the case is related to Xuan Zhen. In this way, Xuan Zhen is the biggest suspect. However, the murderer left the murderer and other objects, and it is easy to find it by us. I hope we will determine that the real murderer has another person and has nothing to do with Xuan Zhen."
Tang Jing's words were reasonable and well-founded. The officials of Kyoto Prefecture, including Xia Yanzhi, could not help but nodded slightly, agreeing with what Tang Jing said.
"Also, there are many ways to kill people, why do you choose weapons like bows and arrows?" Tang Jing was even more proud of his understanding of what everyone agreed with him: "The reason is also very simple, because using such weapons is even more impossible to implicate Xuan Zhen. As I said, Xuan Zhen does not have the ability to penetrate the throat with one arrow, so when we see the method of committing the crime, we will definitely send Xuan Zhen to suspicion as soon as possible. In this way, Xuan Zhen can easily escape. Everyone, this little Taoist priest Xuan Zhen is not old, but his nature is cruel and cunning. This time, the murder of Zhenren is not a temporary idea, but it should be a long time to plan."
"It's reasonable, it's reasonable!" Xia Yanzhi nodded repeatedly and said to Chen Xi: "Mr. Chen, what the Chief of the Tang Mansion said does make sense. The biggest suspect in this case should be the little Taoist Xuanzhen. He bought a murderer, but he set up a maze to escape the suspicion, but the net of heaven is wide and not leaked, so our Kyoto Mansion will not be deceived by him."
Chen Xi smiled and said, "In this way, Lord Xia only needs to arrest and torture Xuan Zhen, so that he can admit that he is the culprit of the murder, and the case can be explained to the palace." Behind him with one hand, he pointed to the bow and arrow on the table with one hand and said, "This weapon is indeed special, but I happen to know its origin."
"Sir, do you know?" Everyone was stunned.
"You all know that there is a group of people in this world who make a living by killing people." Chen Xi said: "Some of them are single-handed, while others are engaged in crimes, employed by others, and are specially used to kill and set fire to others. There is an assassin in the world called Shadow Arrow. It is rumored that he has been in the army and has mastered his skills in archery skills. Later, he left the army. By chance, he practiced martial arts and has good skills, and his archery skills are extraordinary. This assassin was also hired by others, committing dozens of crimes, and he is quite famous in that industry. The most common way for this person to kill is to penetrate the throat with one arrow."
"Sir, is this murder weapon owned by Shadow Arrow?" Xia Yanzhi asked.
Chen Xi nodded and said, "Yes, whether it is the longbow or the barbs of arrows, they are exactly the same as the weapon used by the Shadow Arrow recorded in the archives, so I can conclude that the murderer who killed the real person is the Shadow Arrow."
Tang Jing said proudly: "In this way, Bei Zhi's judgment is not wrong. The Shadow Arrow is an assassin, and Taoist Xuanzhen bought and killed people, and just hired Shadow Arrow, so the one who killed the real person was the Shadow Arrow, but the culprit was the Taoist Xuanzhen."
Although Xia Yanzhi felt that Tang Jing had stolen the limelight, it would be great if the case could be solved, and he felt relieved. He immediately ordered: "Chief Tang Mansion, you should immediately take someone to the Guan Shengguan and arrest Taoist Xuanzhen, who hired the murderer, to be arrested and brought to justice. Before tomorrow morning, Xuanzhen must be asked to confess. Tomorrow is the third day of the incident. Our Kyoto Mansion entrusted Lord Chen to solve the case in three days. Also, send an order to search for the murderer Shadow Arrow. Whoever can arrest him will be rewarded regardless of life or death."
The officials of Kyoto Prefecture suddenly felt relaxed and all smiled. The case of Hong Ling's murder in three days was not slow, and it could be considered an explanation to the court. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
