Xu Gou said directly: "Our invitation refers to Youshi. We are absolutely right. They are talking nonsense."
"What about your invitation? Are you still there?" Zhao Xianye asked.
Xu Gou frowned and said, "When we came in, we already gave it to the butler, but the butler didn't return it to us."
Zhao Xianye spread his arms: "So, it's impossible to prove whether your words are true or false?"
"This..." Xu Gou looked a little unhappy.
Shen Lian laughed, but didn't say anything more. He just said lightly: "Is there more?"
The butler nodded: "And you said that you came in under the leadership of the butler, but the butler said that he has never seen you at all, and not only him, but also the servants in the house have not seen you. "
"So... they said you sneaked in."
……………………
"Nonsense!"
Xu Gou said angrily: "They are deliberately framing us! We were brought in by the housekeeper, he is lying!"
"Did anyone else see it? If so, it can prove what you said."
Xu Gou shook his head: "No, when we came here, we didn't see anyone."
Shen Lian shook his head slightly at this time: "So they were waiting for us here. Let me just say, in this mansion, even if Wang Wenru is in Xijing, it is impossible to walk for so long without seeing a single servant. Now It seems...someone deliberately separated us from those servants for this reason."
Zhao Xianye trusted Shen Lian.
He said: "Sir Sir Shen, it seems that today... was carefully planned by someone to frame you!"
Shen Lian laughed: "Master Zhao, I naturally know this, there is no need to mention it."
Zhao Xianye touched his nose and said: "Apart from this, what puzzles me the most is this."
"You said that after the butler entered the hall, there were screams, and then you rushed in and the butler disappeared! You suspected that there was something wrong with the butler... But those officials can testify that the butler was at the door to receive the call at that time. them."
"So...this, there is some conflict and contradiction, because the housekeeper has a witness, so your words, Mr. Shaoqing, have completely lost weight."
Xu Gou frowned and said, "Will there be two housekeepers? One is real and the other is disguised? Just like the Si She in our Shen Mansion?"
When Shen Lian saw a dog, he would start to think.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Then, he said: "Well, you guessed wrong, there are no two butlers, there is only one."
"Ah?" Xu Gou was stunned.
Zhao Xianye also looked at Shen Lian and said, "Why is Lord Shen so sure?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "When I found out that I hadn't met anyone, I realized there might be something wrong, so at that time, I secretly sprinkled some pollen on the housekeeper's clothes."
"Spreading pollen? When did the young master do it? Why didn't I know?" Xu Gou looked confused.
Shen Lian glanced at Xu Gou and said calmly: "If I hadn't been more thoughtful at tonight's banquet like you, I would have died countless times. You were too lax tonight. If you were to find out, you would naturally be there. There is a chance that the housekeeper will discover it, so it’s only normal that you didn’t discover it.”
"At that time, I just felt that there was something wrong, so I did some small tricks. Unexpectedly... I actually used it."
"This housekeeper's body still smells like pollen. It has not changed from the beginning to the end, so I can be sure that he is definitely the same person."
"Same person?"
Xu Gou and Zhao Xianye believed in Shen Lian's words. Since Shen Lian said there were no two housekeepers, there must be only one housekeeper.
But what happens if there is only one butler?
Not long after the housekeeper entered the room, he let out a scream.
They broke open the door and saw Wang Wenru's body here, but there was no one else in the room.
Logically speaking, the housekeeper is definitely the most suspect.
But those officials could prove that the housekeeper was waiting at the door to receive them at that time, and they could testify against the housekeeper.
Judging from the expressions and expressions of these officials, it did not look like they were telling lies. Shen Lian could also tell that they were really frightened and they were telling the truth.
But just like this... this case became completely confusing.
The hall is some distance from the gate, with a front garden in between.
So, if the murderer was the housekeeper, how did the housekeeper disappear from the hall and appear at the door in an instant?
The most important thing is that there is only one butler and there is no replacement in the middle.
So if the housekeeper was not the murderer, why would he lie and say that he had never seen Shen Lian and Xu Gou?
All this shows that even if the housekeeper is not the murderer, he is definitely one of the accomplices.
But the question remains, how did the butler disappear in the hall and appear at the door?
If we don't solve this problem, we won't be able to continue investigating.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, full of thoughts.
Zhao Xianye saw Shen Lian thinking again and did not dare to disturb Shen Lian. Instead, he walked around the room and checked the situation at the scene.
The tables and chairs were overturned and there were scratches on the floor.
The clothes of the deceased were not very neat, and it could be seen that he had gone through a lot of struggle.
The dagger used to kill the deceased was just an ordinary dagger, nothing special about it.
This scene is very ordinary, nothing special, and precisely because of this, this case is even more difficult to solve.
The more featureless a murder case is, the more difficult it is to trace it.
Zhao Xianye shook his head slightly. He was worried that Lord Shen would encounter difficulties this time. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this was all a carefully planned trap to frame Lord Shen.
Otherwise, how come it was such a coincidence that someone caught him in action?
"Huh?"
Zhao Xianye didn't know what he found at this time. He suddenly knelt down and raised the right hand of the deceased.
Then, the pupils in his eyes shrank slightly.
"Master Shen, come and take a look." Zhao Xianye suddenly exclaimed.
Shen Lian and Xu Gou walked over quickly.
The two looked down.
"What? This..." Xu Gou's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression suddenly changed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Lian also narrowed his eyes slightly.
I saw three words written in blood under the deceased's hand - Shen Lian!
Very clear blood writing, very clear handwriting.
The tiger looked at Shen Lian nervously.
Shen Lian shook his head slightly and said with a half-smile: "They were really well prepared. Apart from the fact that there were no witnesses when they came in, and after being bumped into the crime scene, they also left a message - the deceased's pre-death message. "
"Now, if the case is not solved, I, Mr. Shen, will really be able to jump into the Yellow River and not be able to clear my mind."
Zhao Xianye's face turned serious at this time.
He said: "The first witness is that the servants in this mansion said they have never seen Lord Shen, so what Lord Shen said before is of no use according to the law."
"The second witness, these officials and housekeepers, they saw you, Lord Qin, beside the deceased. Although they did not see you committing the crime, according to the autopsy, the time of death of the deceased was the time you were here, so... This can also be used as evidence.”
"Now, there is physical evidence again. This is a message left by the deceased before his death. It points directly to you, Sir Shen!"
"In addition, Lu Xie and Li Kuiqing were sent out by Wang Wenru, and they offended Lord Shen. Therefore, Lord Shen and Wang Wenru's views are contradictory, so the motive is complete."
"The witnesses and material evidence are complete, and the motive should be sufficient."
Zhao Xianye looked at Shen Lian and said, "If the official hadn't believed in Lord Shen, he would have been directly convicted by now."
Xu Gou looked nervous when he heard this.
Shen Lian did not deny what Zhao Xianye said.
Indeed, according to the laws of this era, it is difficult to find evidence and clues, so if the witnesses, physical evidence and motives are complete, it is basically possible to convict.
Even if you refute it yourself, there are so many irrefutable evidences of no use here.
In other words, Zhao Xianye was the one who gained and lost. If someone else who had a slight grudge against him wanted to arrest him, there would be no problem at all.
It is normal to even directly control yourself and put yourself in jail without giving yourself a chance to continue investigating the case. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the evidence in this case is sufficient and you are a murderer!
Shen Lian thought that this was probably what Beichen and the others had in mind.
But unfortunately, they forgot one thing or ignored one thing.
That is, the entire Chang'an City, the institution currently qualified to handle such cases, Dali Temple, has a close relationship with me.
He had already unknowingly taken control of Chang'an City's punishment mechanism.
Therefore, now I can find a way to break the situation in such a leisurely manner without any worries.
It was at this moment that Shen Lian suddenly realized that he was already so impressive in the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Beichen and the others wanted to harm themselves, they couldn't find anyone to deal with it, so they could only attack the case and try to make it impossible for them to solve it.
But when they thought about embarrassing themselves with the case itself, the outcome was already doomed.
Shen Lian really doesn't believe that there are cases in this world that he can't solve.
There are no unpredictable powers in this world, so everything... can definitely be explained, but I haven't found a breakthrough point yet.
However... I was the first to arrive at this scene, and the person died just before I arrived, and since then I have been here and never left.
Therefore, no one sabotaged the scene.
Then, there must be a clue left here.
The key to breaking the situation lies in this room.
"Get out of the way. I want to see my master. Shen Lian is now a suspect. Why don't you arrest him? Get out of the way..."
At this time, there was a sound outside.
Zhao Xianye asked, and then Shen Lian said: "The housekeeper is making a fuss and wants to come in to prevent us from destroying the scene."
Shen Lian curled his lips and sneered: "In my opinion, Mr. Shen, it's him who wants to destroy the scene."
"Then Sir Shen, shall we let him in?"
"What are you doing here? Let him cool down and stay there."
Shen Lian had no consciousness of being a suspect and directly gave the order to Zhao Xianye. Zhao Xianye didn't think there was any problem and sent the butler away directly.
At this time, Shen Lian said again: "But we really need to avoid being framed again by them, saying that we forged clues and destroyed the scene..."
He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Open the doors and windows so that they can clearly see the situation inside, but no one is allowed to enter."
"There must be something wrong with this housekeeper. He wants to come in so eagerly, which means there are definitely very important clues here. The key to breaking the situation is definitely right here."
Zhao Xianye naturally had no objection and waved his hand directly, asking people to open the doors and windows, but no one was allowed to enter.
The housekeeper and the others were still yelling, but Shen Lian ignored them.
He looked around the room again, looking for clues.
The furnishings of this room are very simple.
Just a few tables and chairs.
There should have been some tea on the table, but it was now spilled all over the floor.
There was supposed to be a candlestick, but now the candlestick has also fallen to the ground.
Near the corpse of the deceased, there was an inkstone. The inkstone was not small in size and probably weighed a lot.
Next to the inkstone, there is a very small line.
Because the line was very thin and the surrounding environment was chaotic, Shen Lian didn't notice it just now.
When he saw the thin line and looked at the inkstone, he didn't know what came to his mind, and a bright light suddenly flashed across his eyes.
Shen Lian quickly walked to the inkstone, squatted down, picked up the inkstone and took a look.
The next moment, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.
Seeing Shen Lian showing such a smile, Xu Gou's heart moved and he hurriedly said: "Master, is it..."
Before Xu Gou finished speaking, Shen Lian nodded slightly.
The corners of his mouth raised and he said slowly: "I already know how Wang Wenru died and who killed him."
"This case... solved!"
When Zhao Xianye and Xu Gou heard Shen Lian's words, their eyes lit up.
They all know Shen Lian well and know that Shen Lian is definitely not the kind of person who talks nonsense.
So since Shen Lian said the case was solved, it must be solved.
"Then young master, who is the murderer? Is the housekeeper the murderer?" Xu Gou asked hurriedly.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and did not answer.
He said: "I already understand the method of killing, and I also understand who the murderer is, but there is one thing I haven't figured out yet..."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xianye asked hurriedly.
Shen Lian's eyes flickered, and in his dark eyes, it was as if stars were moving.
"The Mystery of the Butler's Teleportation."
"Teleport?"
Zhao Xianye and Xu Gou were very unfamiliar with the term teleportation. In their memories, they had never heard of the word teleportation.
However, they had also watched Shen Lian do things for a long time, and knew that Shen Lian would occasionally use some strange words, so they didn't pay attention.
As for the housekeeper, they all knew about it, so after thinking about it for a while, they understood what the word teleport meant.
Xu Gou asked: "The murderer is really the housekeeper? But the housekeeper has an alibi and was with those officials at that time, so you can't make him confess?"
Shen Lian seemed to be lost in rapid thinking and did not answer Xu Gou.
