Everyone nodded slightly: "Of course, you can tell it at a glance."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "So, you all think that the murderer was the one who killed the person behind his back, right?"
"You don't need to say this."
An official said sarcastically: "You can see it if you have eyes, but you asked twice. It seems that the right wing of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is nothing more than that."
Shen Lian glanced at this person and chuckled: "Really?"
"But….…"
He suddenly lengthened his voice and said calmly: "I don't think so! I, Shen Lian, think the murderer..."
He suddenly pointed at the corpse on the floor and said, "It's lying here!!!"
"What?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Shen Lian's words.
"Lie here?"
"Shen Lian, are you kidding me? How could the murderer lie here and stab the dagger into Mr. Wang's back of the heart? This is simply impossible!"
"That's right! Shen Lian, even if you lie, please find a better lie, okay?"
No one believed Shen Lian's words.
Not to mention them, even Ah Bao was a little stunned at this time.
I can't understand what Shen Lian said.
The cause of death of the deceased was that a dagger was stabbed into the back of the heart, and the deceased died facing the ground, so the murderer must have struck from behind the deceased.
No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible to lie on the ground!
And lying on the ground, with his hands facing the ground, there was no way to use the dagger...
Therefore, with their imagination, they really can't imagine how to kill people while lying on the ground.
This made them all look at Shen Lian.
When Shen Lian heard their words of distrust, his expression did not change at all.
After all, this was a case that Beichen and the others committed specifically to frame him. If these fools figured it out easily, then either Beichen and the others looked down on themselves, or they themselves were stupid.
But Beichen, are they stupid?
of course not!
Will they underestimate themselves?
It’s even more impossible!
After all, I am one of the people whom His Highness trusts and entrusts the most. He even entrusts all the nations to come to court, which can be seen from this.
Therefore, this case is complicated.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it."
Shen Lian spoke calmly, unhurriedly.
He didn't blush at all because of other people's distrust, and insisted that they admit that what he said was the truth.
He said: "Your brain is not working well, I don't blame you."
"Next, I will demonstrate the murderer's murder process. I hope you will use your brains and open your eyes to see carefully. If you still don't understand after I demonstrate...then you are really stupid. "
Being ridiculed by Shen Lian for being stupid, these officials couldn't help but darken their faces.
They looked very ugly.
But when they thought that Shen Lian was that man's subordinate...the words of rebuttal came to their lips, and they swallowed them back.
After all, they are under the command of the King of Chu, who is at the height of his power, and he has the support of His Majesty.
They can only endure it.
Seeing that these officials were silent, Shen Lian laughed without any surprise.
For those who are officials, regardless of whether they are corrupt or honest, knowing the current affairs is the first criterion for being an official.
Knowing what you are like is the second rule.
Finding your own position is the third criterion.
It seems that these officials have learned the basic principles well.
"Abao."
Shen Lian ignored them and returned to the case itself.
Abao quickly looked at Shen Lian: "Sir."
Shen Lian pointed to a piece of thin thread on the ground and said, "Find a thread with the same thickness and material as this thin thread."
"here has."
Before Ah Bao could speak, Qin Ziyi took a handful of thin thread from a government servant and said, "I found this outside the window. I don't know if it is of any use, so I put it away temporarily."
Shen Lian glanced at Qin Ziyi and smiled: "Thank you Qin Shaoqing."
Then, Shen Lian pointed to a pillar and said, "Ah Bao, have you seen that pillar? Is there a small piece of thin wire tied there on the pillar?"
Abao quickly took a closer look, and sure enough, there was really a small thin line.
"Sir, there is."
At this time, all the officials also approached the pillar and saw the small thin line.
An official asked: "What happened to the thin line? Is there any problem?"
Shen Lian did not answer.
Instead, he glanced at the butler.
The butler said nothing at this time, but the look in his eyes was dark and unclear, making it unclear what he was thinking.
"Go, at that location, tie one end of the string there."
Abao quickly followed suit.
Soon, one end of the thin thread was tied to it.
Then Shen Lian pointed to the beam above his head and said, "Put the other end of the thin thread through the beam until it reaches the top of the deceased."
Abao jumped up without saying a word. When he reached the beam, he took a look and said hurriedly: "Sir, there is a trace of a thin line on this beam, which is very obvious."
"What?"
Some officials were startled.
Shen Lian had not checked on the beams just now, but now he seemed to have known this for a long time.
He said calmly: "Don't destroy that mark, it's important evidence. Pull the thin line through it from the other side."
"yes!"
Abao quickly passed through the two beams and smoothed the thin thread down.
As it happened, the thin line on the beam went down and was right above the deceased.
"What's next?" Abao continued to ask.
Others seemed to have noticed something at this time. They all looked at Shen Lian and no one was beeping anymore.
The chess pieces on Shen Lian's fingers were still jumping. He looked at the large inkstone on the ground and said, "Pick up that inkstone and show it to the officials. Let them see if there is anything wrong with the inkstone." .”
Abao quickly picked up the inkstone.
"This inkstone is very heavy!"
Abao underestimated and then showed the inkstone to the officials.
These officials didn't understand why Shen Lian wanted them to pay attention to this ordinary inkstone, but they still took a closer look.
At this time, someone suddenly said: "Look, on this inkstone... it seems that there is a bump and a piece is flat there."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, everyone quickly looked away.
Sure enough, they really saw a mark of collision.
Someone said: "Maybe the inkstone accidentally hit the ground during the fight, and the collision occurred?"
"probably."
"But does this have anything to do with the murderer's crime?"
The officials didn't understand again.
Shen Lian chuckled, raised his fingers slightly, and said: "Ah Bao, tie the inkstone to the hanging thin thread, but remember that the thin thread only fixes the inkstone to keep it balanced, but don't tie it. Too tight."
Without saying a word, Abao directly followed Shen Lian's instructions and tied the inkstone to the thin wire, just below the beam.
"Then go and set up the candlestick, and find a candle at the same time." Shen Lian continued to give instructions.
Abao quickly prepared everything.
Shen Lian said: "Select a section of the candle, use a knife to cut a gap, and then stuff the thin wire next to the pillar into the gap to ensure that it will not come out of the candle on its own."
Shen Lian said it was easy to do, and it didn't take long for Ah Bao to have everything fully prepared.
After reading this, Shen Lian laughed, looked at the officials, and said, "Now, all preparations have been completed."
"The murderer used this set of arrangements to complete the murder!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the entire arrangement.
Some people seem to understand something.
But some people still don't understand what's going on.
"Commander Shen, this is both a thin thread and a candle. Does it have anything to do with the murderer? Isn't the murderer just a matter of a knife? What does it have to do with candles or anything like that?"
An official asked in confusion.
Shen Lian shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's so obvious, but you still don't understand? We also grew up eating whole grains, so why can you be so stupid?"
Officials: "……."
Thanks, I was offended.
Shen Lian said helplessly: "Well, since you still can't figure it out, then just open your eyes wide and take a closer look."
"Don't blink, otherwise you will miss something. I, Shen Lian, will not do it a second time."
After saying that, Shen Lian ignored them. He looked directly at Ah Bao and said: "Ah Bao, light the candle and prepare to witness a clever timed murder!"
When Abao heard Shen Lian's words, he naturally had no hesitation.
He quickly lit the candle.
The flames jumped, bringing a hint of halo.
All the officials stared at the candles with wide eyes, wondering what the relationship between the things Shen Lian asked Abao to prepare had to do with murder.
As for Shen Lian, he yawned slightly, with a lazy look on his face.
He was sitting there with his legs crossed and the chess pieces jumping on his fingers, looking very relaxed and contented.
He and other officials were from completely different worlds.
Even though he was handling this case, even though he was the most suspected person now, Shen Lian didn't look the least bit flustered or nervous.
It was as if all this was within his expectation.
No matter what, you can't escape his Wuzhishan.
There was a wind blowing outside, making the windows creak.
The candles in the room were also constantly swaying by the wind, and the candles burned faster than usual.
Finally, the flame of the candle reached the gap in the thin line card.
The next moment….
There was a snapping sound.
When the thin wire comes into contact with the flame, it is burned instantly.
The thin line bisects it.
The thin wire tied to the pillar was suddenly the same as what Abao had discovered before, half of it was still there.
The thin line on the beam was suddenly the same as what Abao had discovered before, half of it was still there.
The thin wire on the beam suddenly fell down because it was tied to a very heavy inkstone.
When the inkstone fell, because Abao followed Shen Lian's instructions, the string and the inkstone were not tied tightly, so the string and the inkstone soon began to separate.
At the same time, the inkstone also began its free fall motion.
The speed is getting faster and faster, coupled with its own heavy weight, it feels like the ground is approaching rapidly in an instant.
Almost in the blink of an eye, these officials discovered that the inkstone was above the corpse of the deceased.
The inkstone was found above the corpse of the deceased.
And then the next moment--
"What!?"
"this….…"
"This...this...this..."
A series of exclamations suddenly sounded.
Everyone who saw this scene in front of them couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their eyeballs almost fell down in shock.
They stared blankly at the scene in front of them, feeling as if their whole bodies had been hit by a heavy hammer.
His body shook and he almost fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
I saw the inkstone falling, and at the next moment, it suddenly hit the dagger at the back of the deceased's heart. Then due to the weight of the inkstone, the dagger was smashed directly into the heart and stabbed...
The dagger that originally had a section left was stabbed into the back of the deceased's heart in an instant.
The inkstone also fell to the side after colliding with Dagger.
That position is exactly the same as where Xu Gou picked up the inkstone before.
There's almost no big difference.
As for the half of the thin line that fell from the air, it was the same...the position of the half of the thin line that was left on the ground was not much different.
All in all…….
Let them know that this is definitely not a coincidence.
One is a coincidence, but with so many items falling into the same place, can it still be a coincidence?
So, so... there is no need for the murderer to act behind the scenes.
The killer doesn't even need to be here.
Can we just complete the murder case?
These officials were stunned at this moment.
They thought of many developments, but they never thought it would be this kind of development.
This was really a complete surprise to them.
Only then did Shen Lian slowly stand up.
He walked to the inkstone, picked up the inkstone, and said, "Look, this is the mark left by the dagger that was just hit by the inkstone."
Then, he turned the inkstone another 180 degrees and said, "And this is the mark left on the previous inkstone. Take a closer look. Do you think there is any difference between them?"
The pupils of the officials shrank sharply.
They quickly took a closer look.
Compare carefully to find the difference.
But the result is that there is no difference.
The size was exactly the same, and they also discovered that the shape of the mark was exactly the same as the shape of the knife handle.
So...this is almost irrefutable proof.
Shen Lian had no choice but to secretly produce such evidence without telling them.
So...really, everything is true to what Shen Lian said, it turns out that this murder case was actually committed like this!
"What about the murderer?"
At this time, an official asked: "Who arranged it like this? Who is the murderer?"
They no longer doubted Shen Lian that much.
After all, this case is already obvious, and the murderer does not need to stay here when committing the crime.
And with Shen Lian's intelligence, if Shen Lian had set up these things, it would be even more impossible for him to stay here and be discovered.
Therefore, at this time, whether they wanted to or not, they already believed that Shen Lian did not kill the person.
When Shen Lian heard what they said, he did not answer them directly, but suddenly said: "Where is Wu Zuo?"
A middle-aged man ran over and said, "Commander Shen, the younger one...the younger one is Gu Zuo."
