"Li Qingcha, what do you want?"
"Didn't Brother Li just say that? Of course I want the evidence in your arms~"
It was not Li Qingcha who answered.
Xuan Jing was stunned.
He turned his sight and found Luo Weiyang was also there.
I am a fifth-grade person, but I was so flustered that I didn’t notice it?
The girl walked behind Li Qingcha with a smile.
"Brother Li, what you said before is true. 'If the criminals cannot deal with the stolen goods quickly, they will be more inclined to keep the stolen goods close to their bodies.'"
As she spoke, she looked at Xuan Jing.
"You should have thrown the cloth away, but you took it back to your room. Now you've been caught red-handed, right?"
Chapter 374 A plan full of loopholes
Add more.
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
Xuan Jing couldn't figure it out.
He really can't ride on my sister.
In his opinion, Li Qingcha did nothing, asked nothing, and received all the trap information he had set. Why was he still able to see through the fog?
Is it really like what the people say?
A pair of divine eyes can distinguish yin and yang.
Isn't this nonsense?
Seeing Xuan Jing didn't say anything, Li Qingcha knew that the old man hadn't reacted yet.
She sighed and took out the blueprint she had with her.
That is the design and construction drawing of Wuzhuang Temple, a backup that I just requested from the Ministry of Works today.
Luo Weiyang came forward,
"Brother Li, are those the chimneys in the east wing you mentioned?"
Her fingers moved across the drawing, like she was tracing a winding river.
Li Qingcha nodded.
"Correct."
There are twelve rooms in the east wing.
The fact that so many rooms share the same chimney indicates that the interior is complex and interconnected.
Simply blocking the chimney is not enough to cause coal poisoning in people in a confined space, or the poisoning will last for a long time and will not kill people, because the poisonous smoke will be squeezed into other rooms.
Therefore, it is necessary to create a blockage before the flue bifurcates, that is, the lower smoke outlet.
In this way, the poisonous smoke will not spread out and will only cover the quiet room.
The chimney is narrow and people cannot get in. If they want to block it with something, they must have used some external force.
This is the "ant" in the story of the saint stringing beads.
However, Li Qingcha did not expect that it was the Tianzong's ghost-controlling technique.
This Xuan Jing does have some skills.
Luo Weiyang looked around and found that there was also an incense burner in Xuan Jing's room.
“It’s actually an incense burner…”
Li Qingcha nodded.
"Yes, it's clearly drawn on the blueprint. The incense burner in Wuzhuang Temple is similar to the brazier in the palace. It is hollow inside and is used to burn charcoal. It is also connected to a chimney to exhaust the smoke."
"Why did you think of this at the time?"
"The Di Zong burns high incense, and burning incense not only requires smoke, but also smell. However, in winter, heating becomes a big problem. No matter how strong the smoke and smell of high incense are, they cannot compare to the brazier used for heating. Therefore, the Di Zong Taoist temple must find a way to ensure that the room is warm without using coal. There are not many ways to do this, right?"
Not many indeed.
The construction of the palace involved the wisdom of skilled craftsmen from all over the world, but they could only use the extremely costly and clumsy method of fire.
It is perfectly reasonable for Di Zong to build an interconnected chimney.
By this point, the modus operandi of the crime was obvious.
Li Qingcha stared at Xuan Jing and said, "According to my reasoning, you should have first tricked Qingwei into drinking the medicine to calm her down, and then used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to block the lower end of the flue, causing the coal poison to kill her, and then faked the wound. Is that right?"
Xuan Jing: “…”
He said nothing.
tsk...
Li Qingcha couldn't help but be shocked.
"Master Xuan Jing, now that things have come to this, why don't you cry until you see the coffin?"
"..."
"..."
There was a long silence.
suddenly,
"Ha ha……"
Xuan Jing laughed wildly, as if he were mad.
"Li Qingcha, you are indeed smart enough. I even believe what the outside world says, 'a pair of divine eyes that can distinguish yin and yang'. Perhaps, you can really see Qingwei's ghost?"
From what he said, it was clear that he didn't know how he had aroused Li Qingcha's suspicion.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t talk about those supernatural things.
Li Qingcha sighed.
"The Tian Sect has the ability to control ghosts. Are they good at investigating cases?"
With just one sentence, Xuan Jing was silenced.
Li Qingcha continued, "In fact, I doubt you because there are so many unreasonable things."
She held up a finger.
"First of all, I felt strange when I first arrived at the scene. Why were there so many people watching outside? Qingwei died in a secret room. Logically, you in the Jinlian Temple should think that family disgrace should not be made public. Why did you report the case with such fanfare?"
Yu Youwei on the other side nodded.
"That's right. When the three sects were discussing the Dao, what would ordinary people think when they saw that the cultivators of your Earth Sect were unable to protect themselves? It's too unreasonable..."
Xuan Jing's face was gloomy.
He muttered, "I didn't think it through."
Li Qingcha raised his second finger.
"Secondly, you acted too... um... too eager. It is true that I had the motive to kill Qingwei, but after all, I am the Right Deputy Seal Envoy of the Daolu Division, the chief official of the Three Sects. You are so eager to label me a suspect without any decisive evidence in your hands. It is obvious that you want me to stand aside~"
Xuan Jing sneered,
"You hold up two fingers, so there seems to be more?"
"..."
"Why are not you talking?"
"Oh, forgot."
Li Qingcha put his hands back on the table.
puff!
Xuan Jing vomited blood.
"You...you! @*#%..."
Li Qingcha laughed.
"It's not an excuse, I really forgot."
Bullshit!
Xuan Jing now understood how powerful Li Qingcha was in manipulating people's hearts.
He suddenly thought of the two unexpected incidents he encountered when he sneaked into the east wing.
One time, it was the shift change of the criminal police officers in the Ministry of Justice;
One time, Bu Lin went to the scene to investigate.
Looking back now, those operations were all about repeatedly jumping on Xuan Jing's sensitive nerves. By applying high pressure, they achieved the effect of desensitizing Xuan Jing, and gradually blunted him to the real crisis in the midst of panic.
Otherwise, with Xuan Jing's fifth-grade strength, it is impossible for him not to notice Li Qingcha and Luo Weiyang when he entered the room.
One of them is of the seventh rank and the other is of the ninth rank.
Why! ?
After thinking this through, Xuan Jing realized that he was no match for Li Qingcha in terms of IQ and psychology.
It’s better to just fight honestly with your strength.
He simply stopped pretending.
"Li Qingcha, your speculation is actually also wrong."
Li Qingcha frowned and observed Xuan Jing carefully.
"Well, interesting, you didn't lie to me."
"You're not a sorcerer, so how do you know I'm not lying to you? Besides, even if you are a sorcerer, why do you think you can see through a fifth-grade lie?"
"I'm not a sorcerer, but that doesn't mean I can't read qi."
This is what I said...
Xuan Jing was startled, then shook his head.
impossible!
It's scary enough that Li Qingcha possesses the aura of Taoism and Confucianism. If he also has connections with the Imperial Observatory, is he still a human being?
What I just said must be psychological warfare!
Xuan Jing sneered,
"Just keep blowing it."
Li Qingcha spread his hands.
"Oh, you don't believe me when I tell you the truth."
"fart!"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited... Let me think about it... Oh, I understand. Your first choice was indeed to kill Qingwei with coal poison, but you didn't expect that when you entered the room to fake the wound, you found that Qingwei had only lost the ability to move, but was not dead. So, Qingwei's fatal wound was actually a sword wound?"
Xuan Jing:!!!
After a while,
"Li Qingcha, I still underestimated you."
Li Qingcha shook his head and sighed.
"It must be hard to kill your apprentice with your own hands, right? You used coal to poison him, firstly because it was easier to frame him, and secondly because you didn't want to watch your apprentice die in front of your eyes. In the end..."
"How can I be sad when he actually threatens me, his master?"
"Is it because of the golden lotus seeds?"
