"You have only one day to solve the case immediately, otherwise my Turkic cavalry will crush you, the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhao Xianye was very anxious when he heard what they said.
Do you think I don't want to solve the case?
Do you think I want your Highness to die?
Oh, this is what I hope for!
But we weren’t the ones who killed him, so why are you and me yelling at each other?
He felt very aggrieved in his heart, but he still wanted to keep his smile. After all, the person who died was a Turkic prince. This status was so unusual.
If it is not handled well, a war may really break out.
After all, he knew that the Turkic Khan had two sons, and this prince was the last.
The previous prince was assassinated two months ago, so this can be said to be the only one left.
Now that the last Turkic prince has died, it is equivalent to the end of the Turkic Khans!
Damn it, if this news gets back, the Turkic Khan will go crazy!
If he doesn't give a good explanation, the Turkic Khan may really go crazy with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, no matter how aggrieved Zhao Xianye was, he could only nod and bow.
"Master Zhao, what's the situation?"
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan's voice sounded behind Zhao Xianye.
When Zhao Xianye heard this familiar voice, he was moved to tears.
"Master Qin, you are finally here."
For some reason, the moment he heard Qin Wenyuan's voice, Zhao Xianye's heart suddenly fell to the ground.
I suddenly felt confident...
Qin Wenyuan came over, patted Zhao Xianye's shoulder lightly, looked back and forth at the aggressive Turkic guards, and said calmly: "If you want us to solve the case as soon as possible, find the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge your Turkic prince as soon as possible, then give me
Official, shut your mouth! Otherwise..."
Qin Wenyuan glanced coldly at the faces of these Turkic guards and said coldly: "I don't mind writing a letter to your Turkic Khan and telling him how your Turkic guards obstructed me from judging the case. If you do this,
Is it because I don’t want the truth to come out on purpose... I will advise the Turkic Khan to investigate this matter."
Suddenly, as soon as Qin Wenyuan said these words, the expressions of the Turkic guards who had just been aggressive towards Zhao Xianye suddenly changed.
They didn't protect Qihe La well. If Qin Wenyuan writes a letter like this again, they will definitely die!
They hurriedly said: "You..."
"Shut up!"
Qin Wenyuan scolded: "I tell you to speak before you speak, otherwise you should just be quiet. I don't like to say the same thing a third time!"
The faces of these Turkic guards suddenly turned green and red.
They clenched their fists with both hands, but in the end they were defeated in Qin Wenyuan's calm eyes, lowered their heads, and actually didn't say a word.
What Zhao Xianye sees here is so refreshing!
He explained it so hard that his mouth was drying up, and these people didn't even bother him.
As a result, they wilted as soon as Duke Qin came!
If I had known earlier, I would be as powerful and domineering as Lord Qin.
However, Zhao Xianye also knew that Qin Wenyuan was famous, so he could only scold these Turkic guards who did not dare to raise their heads.
If you do the same thing, you will probably have their swords waiting for you.
Qin Wenyuan did not look at these Turkic guards again. He turned back and waved his hand to Zhao Xianye and said: "Master Zhao, come here."
Zhao Xianye followed Qin Wenyuan into Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard.
Qin Wenyuan asked as he walked: "Tell me about the situation you have now."
Zhao Xianye hurriedly said: "About an hour ago, the Turkic guards guarding the door suddenly heard a scream coming from the Turkic prince's room. They were worried and hurriedly knocked on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time."
"They were worried that something might happen, so they kicked open the door. When they entered the room, they found that the Turkic prince had been killed."
"After inspection, it was found that Qila had a fight with the murderer, and then his head was chopped off by the murderer."
"The estimated time of his death is consistent with the last screams heard by the guards."
"But the strange thing is..."
Zhao Xianye looked at Qin Wenyuan and saw that Qin Wenyuan's expression was calm and the same as before, and continued: "...all the doors and windows of Qihe La's room were locked, and these guards were right in front of the door. From the time they heard the sound to the time they opened the door, they
It’s just a dozen breaths.”
"But when they got to the room, there was no one there except Chihe La's body."
"so……"
Qin Wenyuan stepped into the room and said, "Is it a secret room murder?"
After Qin Wenyuan entered the room, his eyes immediately scanned the entire room.
I saw that in this room, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the tables and chairs were scattered on the ground. It could be seen that a fierce battle seemed to have taken place here.
Tea cups were scattered everywhere, and tea was spilled all over the floor. At the same time, a trace of scarlet blood also caught Qin Zulai's eyes.
Qin Wenyuan continued to walk inside, and next to a chair, he saw the dead head of the Turkic prince Qihe La.
The headless corpse of Qihe La was on the couch, lying on the quilt.
The quilt was also stained red with blood, which looked shocking.
Qin Wenyuan carefully inspected Qihe La's wound and asked, "Did you tell me what kind of weapon was used to commit the crime?"
"knife!"
Zhao Xianye replied: "Wu Zuo said it was a knife, a very thin and sharp knife."
"Is it very thin? Is it very sharp? Is it our Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Zhao Xianye lowered his voice and said: "Wu Zuo said that it is very similar to the Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty, but the Hengdao of the Tang Dynasty does not mean that it is the case done by the people of the Tang Dynasty..."
"Moreover, those Turks are already dissatisfied with us. If they find out that the weapon that killed their master is the Tang Dynasty Hengdao, it will inevitably cause them to misunderstand... Therefore, I haven't told them what the weapon may be."
.”
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Han Min and said calmly: "What is there to hide? When we handle the case, do we still need to hide it?"
"Originally it was nothing, just a weapon, but you deliberately concealed it like this. Once they know about it, it may actually show that we are guilty."
"So, don't hide what we have, tell them in real time, let them know that we, Datang, are standing upright!"
When Zhao Xianye heard this, he felt that Qin Wenyuan was domineering and confident.
He nodded quickly and said: "My lord didn't come here before, so I didn't know what to do. Now that Master Qin is here, I have nothing to fear. I'll tell them now."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
Zhao Xianye left, and he walked to Qihe La's head, squatted down, and looked at the dead head on the ground with deep eyes.
"Looking at your last remaining expression of shock and disbelief, you probably didn't expect this to be the result, right?"
Qin Wenyuan whispered calmly, went to the window to check the lock, and then carefully inspected the scene before walking out.
When we got to the courtyard, we saw that it was full of people.
Envoys from other countries were standing here, whispering.
Some of their faces looked nervous, some were worried, some were scared, some were confused, and some were very happy.
Different people, with different expressions, express the complex and different thoughts in their hearts.
When they saw Qin Wenyuan walking out of the room, they quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Master Qin, how are you doing?"
"Who is the murderer?"
"Who is so hateful? Even the Turkic prince was killed?"
"I heard that the heads were chopped off, is that true?"
These envoys kept asking questions.
They were really nervous.
First it was Bolu, then Baekje.
Now, even the Turkic prince has been killed!
This is the Turkic prince!
The Turkic prince who lives in Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard!
Among these envoys, the one with the highest status!
And it’s still within the inn!
This made envoys from other countries feel really unsure.
The previous two cases both occurred outside Chang'an City, and the victims were not envoys from great powers, so although they were concerned, they were not that worried.
But this time it's different.
This time, inside the inn, the person who died was the most powerful envoy of a great power. How could they still feel at ease?
Even the envoys of the Dashi Kingdom, Anthony, and the envoys of Nanzhao, etc., had much more solemn expressions.
Qin Wenyuan's eyes swept over them one by one. His eyes were calm and his temperament was very calm. His clear eyes swept over everyone, as if giving everyone a sense of peace and calm. This made their originally nervous hearts feel tense at this moment.
It also feels a lot more relaxing.
The discussion gradually subsided.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan spoke, and he said: "I know the worries in your hearts. This time, to be honest, I am also scared and frightened!"
"At the inn, I, the Tang Dynasty, invested thousands of guards to protect everyone, but I didn't expect that the thieves would still take over!"
"I will not refuse. This is the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty. It is the Tang Dynasty that failed to protect you. I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely give you an explanation!"
Qin Wenyuan first comforted these envoys and expressed Datang's apology and sincerity.
This case,
The murder occurred in the inn. It was completely different from previous cases and had a lot to do with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Datang must show some sincerity, regardless of whether it will actually be explained later, but at least now, both parties must be able to live with each other in terms of face.
In national games, apart from interests, the most important thing is face.
And sure enough, after hearing Qin Wenyuan's words, these envoys looked better.
Qin Wenyuan continued: "It is not convenient for me to say too much about this case now."
"But if you know the past cases I have handled, you should know my strength, so... I can make you a promise."
Qin Wenyuan stretched out a finger and said: "One day, only one day, before dark tomorrow, I will definitely find the real culprit and bring the real culprit to justice, so that everyone can feel at ease."
Wang Chengdao, the envoy of Nanzhao, raised his eyebrows when he heard Qin Wenyuan's words and asked: "Master Qin, what clues have been found?"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled: "Of course I found some clues, otherwise I would not dare to make such a promise."
"However, in order to prevent the murderer from jumping over the wall, I would like to ask you to put it aside. For some clues that can be disclosed temporarily, you can ask Jing Zhaoyin, and he will tell the truth. However, if it involves deeper clues, I would like to ask that it be inconvenient for the time being.
Say it.”
The Turkic guard frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the envoys from the small countries nodding.
"We understand!"
"That's right, Mr. Qin, you can go and investigate with peace of mind. The investigation is important and we all understand it!"
"If you need us for anything, just tell us! In order to find the murderer, we will cooperate fully!"
"That's right. If anyone doesn't cooperate, it means he has a guilty conscience and may be the murderer!"
These envoys from small countries directly accepted Qin Wenyuan's proposal with just one word from you or him.
And he also raised others up.
If you don't cooperate with Qin Wenyuan, you are the murderer!
As soon as these words came out, Anthony and others immediately cursed in their hearts.
They were happy to see Qin Wenyuan unable to find the real culprit and then being hated by everyone.
This is in their interests!
But before they had a chance to say anything, the envoys from these small countries rushed to please Qin Wenyuan and decided the matter directly.
This made them really feel aggrieved and helpless.
Before, they looked down on envoys from small countries.
But now, they discovered that although the small countries are small, more than fifty small countries united, they are already a behemoth that is not weaker than them.
Even they, at this juncture, dare not object openly.
So, in desperation, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Qin Wenyuan didn't need to ask for anything, these little envoys made all preparations for him. He was really touched.
Look, this is the harvest of giving warmth.
There are some things that he is not comfortable saying. After all, this incident has something to do with Datang's lack of protection.
But it is reasonable for these envoys to speak.
He cupped his hands and said, "In this case, time is tight, so I won't waste any time."
"Everyone, I may ask you some questions later. Please answer them truthfully. I will also verify your answers later."
"If any of you lied..."
Qin Wenyuan scanned the faces of Anthony, Wang Chengdao and others one by one, and said calmly: "...then please forgive me for being rude. Anyone who panics has a guilty conscience! If you don't have a guilty conscience, how can you lie? So, everyone...
…”
Qin Wenyuan said meaningfully: "You must answer truthfully..."
"Of course, if you think you can hide it from me, you can also lie."
"It's just...can you hide it from me?"
It was still pitch black at this time.
The weather that had been gloomy for most of the night finally started to rain.
Rainfall in late autumn often means another drop in temperature.
Qin Wenyuan found a clean and quiet room in the inn and walked directly in.
He ordered people to clean the room. Except for a table and a few chairs, there was nothing else.
Qin Wenyuan and Zhao Xianye were sitting on the inside of the table. He asked someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study, and then put the candle on the table.
