Chapter 278: Incredible! What the hell is going on!
He raised his finger and pointed at Ah Bao, just like an abandoned woman accusing a scumbag, filled with grief.
"You...you...you are talking nonsense!"
His face turned red from holding back, as if he had been greatly wronged.
He shouted: "I, I don't know who you are at all. I have never seen you at all. How could I kill my master?"
"Moreover, I just greeted the distinguished guests invited by my master at the door. They can all testify that I was not here at all. You... you are just talking nonsense and making false accusations!"
As the housekeeper spoke, he pointed at the people who had just followed him in from the door.
These people were all wearing official uniforms. Shen Lian glanced at them and found that some of them looked familiar. They were all officials of the imperial court.
Moreover, these people are also on the list mentioned by Li Kuiqing before.
Therefore, they are all members of Wang Wen's crony party.
He is also a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, all these people were stunned.
When they saw Wang Wenru's body, they felt as if they had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and their bodies shook involuntarily.
Their faction is centered on Wang Wenru.
It can be said that Wang Wenru is the leader of their faction and their IQ.
But now that His Royal Highness the Prince is away and Wang Wenru is dead, to them, it is nothing more than a thunderstorm.
So much so that they were stunned for a long time before they discovered that the person whom the housekeeper had called the murderer turned out to be tonight's guest Shen Lian.
This made them stunned again.
But soon, someone couldn't help but say: "Shen Lian, you...you, why are you so cruel?"
"You killed Lu Xie because Lu Xie had bad intentions towards you and said things that you shouldn't have said. You killed him... We have nothing to say! But Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang is not like this!"
"Mr. Wang has decided to apologize to you and make good friends with you. He asked us to come here today just so that we can apologize to you together. I hope to ask for your forgiveness..."
"But, I really didn't expect that you would be so cruel and ruthless, and you would kill Mr. Wang directly before we came!"
Others were shocked when they heard this man's words.
The expressions they looked at Shen Lian were also full of anger.
They felt that Shen Lian was too bullying and cruel!
Abao heard what they said, looked at the misunderstanding they looked at Shen Lian, frowned and said: "What are you talking nonsense about? How can we adults kill people indiscriminately?"
"We didn't kill this person at all!"
"What we saw with our own eyes is still fake?" an official said.
"Yes, all of us have seen with our own eyes that there are only two of you here, and you have hidden it from the housekeeper in this house and sneaked over directly. You also said that you didn't have ulterior motives! Mr. Wang must have been killed by you. of!"
"I have long heard that Shen Lian is ruthless and ruthless, and I finally saw it today!"
An official looked at the steward and said: "Steward, go report to the officer immediately. With us here, we will not let the murderer Shen Lian escape! Go quickly, Mr. Wang will not die in vain! We will not let him die in peace. of!"
After hearing this, the housekeeper reacted.
He nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll report it to the official. Masters, you must keep an eye on them and don't let them escape. No matter what, you must avenge my master!"
After saying that, the housekeeper ran out in a hurry.
These officials blocked the door and stared at Shen Lianyuan and the others as if they were guarding against thieves, without blinking, as if they were afraid that if they blinked, Shen Lian would turn into a butterfly and fly away.
Abao looked at them and was furious.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir, why don't you speak? Why don't you refute and scold them to death? They are wronging you, sir!"
Compared to Abao's anger, Shen Lian was much calmer.
He just glanced at those people, then moved his eyes away to observe the situation at the crime scene.
Hearing A Bao's words, he said calmly: "What did you say?"
"Of course, we didn't kill the person!"
"If I, Shen Lian, say this, will they believe it?"
"This..." Abao was speechless.
Shen Lian said calmly: "If you don't believe it, what's the use of saying it? And reporting to the official is what I want to do. Now that they have done it, I have nothing to say."
Abao frowned and said, "But, that won't allow you to be wronged, sir!"
"Abao, haven't you noticed yet?"
"What?"
"As soon as the housekeeper brought us here, the man died! And as soon as we heard the noise, the housekeeper and these officials came, and they happened to see us standing in front of the corpse... Do you think there are such coincidences in this world? "
Abao was stunned: "What do you mean, sir?"
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he sneered: "It's really a well-planned murder case and a well-planned frame-up case!"
"Beichen's skill is not small. In order to frame me, he actually asked Wang Wenru to sacrifice to heaven. The cost is not small."
When Ah Bao heard this, he was shocked: "This...is this what Beichen and the others did? The purpose is to frame the Lord?"
"Then, sir, you, you..."
Shen Lian smiled and interrupted Xu Gou's words and said, "Don't worry, if Beichen uses other ways to trouble me, I might get a headache."
"But use the case..."
The corner of his mouth curled up and he said disdainfully: "Do you think, after going through so many things, there is a case in this world that I, Prince Chu's Palace, cannot solve?"
When Abao heard Shen Lian's words and saw Shen Lian's confident smile, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, when it comes to solving cases, the people from Prince Chu's Palace are definitely the best in the world. So many difficult cases have been solved by the young master, so there will definitely be no problems with this case."
"And as long as you can solve the case and find the real murderer, everything will naturally come to light. Even if they want to accuse you unjustly, they can't."
Abao thought very simply.
Aren't they going to accuse you unjustly?
But they are too stupid to use the case to wrong the Lord.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With your ability, solving the case is not a matter of minutes!
As long as the murderer is found, who will dare to accuse you unjustly? Use this to attack His Royal Highness the King of Chu?
He felt that he had figured everything out, and suddenly the whole world became brighter.
And Shen Lian saw through Abao's thoughts at a glance.
He shook his head slightly, but said nothing more.
With Beichen's abilities, how could it be so easy to deal with them, Prince Chu's Mansion?
Not to mention, an important chess piece like Wang Wenru was sacrificed.
Therefore, this case is definitely not easy to solve...and if the case is solved, the matter will definitely not end there.
But... Beichen was plotting against him, so why wasn't Shen Lian prepared?
He knew clearly that Wang Wenru had not held it in, but he still came. With his ability and temperament, how could he really put himself in danger?
So, this time, it was another game of chess between him and Beichen in the air.
Everyone here is each other's pawn.
And who the real winner will be, no one knows until the end, until the final trump card is revealed.
Of course, there is no need to tell Xu Gou about this.
Ah Bao is a simple-minded guy, so it's better to let him be happy. Anyway, he won't understand if you talk too much.
Shen Lian was attracted by this case and was too lazy to waste time explaining to Xu Gou, so he could just let Xu Gou be silly and happy.
Just like that, the officials stared at Shen Lian like a prisoner, and Abao glared at them with his big copper bell-like eyes.
Shen Lian, on the other hand, was looking for clues at the scene and thinking about what happened to Wang Wenru's death.
Just like that, I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"
Some voices were heard, and the officials blocking the door were pushed away.
Then some government officials rushed into the hall.
Shen Lian raised his head and looked up at this moment. When he saw the clothes of these government servants and the guy who seemed to have become stronger again, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Qin Shaoqing, what's wrong with you? What kind of wind brought you here?"
That's right, the official who was summoned by the housekeeper was Qin Ziyi, the young minister of Dali Temple.
In fact, the housekeeper was also very helpless.
As the steward of the palace, he is also aware of some matters in the officialdom.
Shen Lian is a commander, his status is not low, and he is a member of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. He is a big shot with dignity and respect.
In Chang'an City, if you look around, the only ones qualified to participate in criminal investigation are Dali Temple and Jing Zhaoyin.
At present, Shen Lian often visits Dali Temple and is a frequent visitor to Dali Temple.
Then, Qin Ziyi, a close confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince in Dali Temple, would be the best candidate.
When Qin Ziyi heard Shen Lian's words, he laughed and said: "Commander Shen, this is not... your reputation has become far and wide recently, and there have been a lot less crimes in Chang'an City."
"So... I have to relax my duties a little. I finally have a case that I can't come to see."
Qin Ziyi did not give Shen Lian a chance to continue talking to him, and said hurriedly: "Commander Shen, what is going on? How did I hear that... Wang Wenru's death is related to you?"
During this period of time, Qin Ziyi had been in contact with Shen Lian. He knew Shen Lian relatively well. He knew that if Shen Lian really wanted to kill someone, no one would find any clues.
But now, the housekeeper told him that they had seen it with their own eyes, so at that time, Qin Ziyi knew that there must be something wrong with this matter.
Shen Lian was definitely not the one who killed him!
but!
If there is no evidence, it is not impossible to pin the killer on Shen Lian.
I happened to take this opportunity to help His Royal Highness get rid of one of King Chu's wings.
Before Shen Lian could speak, Abao said: "Qin Shaoqing, we were wronged. The commander did not kill anyone at all!"
"You're talking nonsense, I was killed by you!"
The housekeeper's eyes turned red when he saw that Abao was still stubbornly saying that he had not killed anyone.
He looked at Qin Ziyi and said: "Qin Shaoqing, you must not listen to their sophistry. They sneaked into our mansion and killed our master. We saw this with our own eyes!"
The officials all nodded at this time.
"That's right, Shen Lian killed him!"
"Shen Lian is really too lawless!"
Qin Ziyi frowned slightly when she heard what they said and looked at their confident expressions.
He has been the young minister of Dali Temple for several years, and he can still tell whether someone is lying to him or not.
The expressions and movements of these officials were obviously very confident, and they did not look like they were lying.
Was it really Shen Lian who killed him?
Can't?
Shen Lian did have a motive for killing. Wang Wenru was from the Prince's camp, and he was from the King of Chu's camp. They were naturally in opposition. With such a low-level killing technique, could it be possible that... he was a plot to provoke rebellion?
Qin Ziyi's eyes flickered. He knew that Qin Ziyi had recently killed a court official, and he might do it again.
He couldn't help but look at Qin Ziyi and said, "Commander Shen, you didn't kill him, right?"
What kind of question is this?
The housekeeper and the officials were furious.
And Shen Lian nodded lightly: "Of course not."
Qin Ziyi noticed his gaze and tone and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Commander Shen, what do you think I should do?" Qin Ziyi asked very strangely.
Shen Lian glanced at Qin Ziyi, smiled, and said: "Qin Shaoqing, you are my top crime-solving expert in Dali Temple. This is your case. I am now a suspect. What should I do? Qin Shaoqing, are you? Mistaken?"
"Haha, that's true."
Qin Ziyi smiled and said a few words, and soon understood what Shen Lian meant.
Shen Lian was telling him to follow the normal process to avoid being criticized, and not to bend the law for personal gain, otherwise the King of Chu would take action.
Qin Ziyi thought clearly, and the next moment he said: "Come here, take them to record a confession, and ask them about what they saw and heard."
"yes!"
Soon, these officials were taken away and asked to be questioned one by one by the director of Dali Temple.
Then, Qin Ziyi began to ask.
Ask Shen Lian why he came here, who brought him here, and the entire process of discovering the deceased.
His questions were very critical, and Shen Lian needed to answer them very seriously, otherwise he would not know when Qin Ziyi would take him to the ditch.
After Qin Ziyi finished asking, other people's confessions happened to be delivered.
Qin Ziyi compared their confessions with Shen Lian's and gradually frowned.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, there are some discrepancies in your confessions..."
"What?" Abao was surprised.
But Shen Lian, as if he had expected this, said: "Where is the inconsistency?"
Seeing that Shen Lian was still very calm, Qin Ziyi knew that Shen Lian might have thought of this a long time ago and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, he said: "First of all, it's time for you to come over."
He looked at Shen Lian and said: "You said that the time for you to come over in the invitation was Youshi, but the housekeeper and others said that Wang Wenru invited you to come at three quarters after Youshi, so you came early."
Abao said directly: "Our invitation refers to Youshi. We are absolutely right. They are talking nonsense."
"What about your invitation? Are you still there?" Qin Ziyi asked.
Abao frowned and said, "When we came in, we already gave it to the housekeeper, but the housekeeper didn't return it to us."
Qin Ziyi spread her hands: "So, Commander Shen can't prove whether your words are true or false?"
