"You don't have to worry, the case has not yet been concluded, so I have ordered the news to be blocked, and it will not have any impact on the Marquis of Anding." Liu Xiaoran's voice was still emotionless, but Su Mu was almost moved to tears.

Although Master Liu looks a bit colder, he is still very reliable in his work.

Su Mu thought to himself, this could explain why Ah Huan and the others knew nothing about what happened to them. It seems that the intelligence blockade of Dali Temple was done well, and they kept it quite tight.

Otherwise, the reputation of stabilizing Marquis Mansion will indeed be destroyed in his own hands.

It's easy for him to stare at people when he's thinking about something, but now he naturally focuses on Liu Xiaoran, and he doesn't notice anything wrong with his behavior at all.

Sensing Su Mu's gaze, Liu Xiaoran turned her head unnaturally. It has been a long time since no one dared to stare at her so directly.He coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain to look out the window: "Here we are."

The carriage finally settled down, and Su Mu jumped out of the carriage with Mo Shu's support, and as expected, he hurt his wound, causing him to grin his teeth in pain and jump up. Fortunately, he still remembered that he should be a distinguished little Marquis now, so he couldn't do anything.Strange behavior, life and death endured.

Looking at the magnificent attic building in front of him and the three characters of "Huancai Pavilion" with flying dragons and phoenixes dancing on the plaque, it is the first time for modern Su Mu to feel the prosperity of the ancient Capital City, even the brothel is so grand.

There was an unsolved murder case in Huancai Pavilion, so naturally it couldn’t operate normally. There were two guards in uniform standing at the door. When they saw Liu Xiaoran and Su Mu, they saluted respectfully and helped to open the door.

The attic is now deserted, only a few girls in red and green sit around a middle-aged woman who looks quite rich and sits at the table in front of the hall.

Seeing Liu Xiaoran, the old bustard twisted her body to greet him immediately, first she saluted exaggeratedly, was slightly startled when she saw Su Mu, then bowed and saluted again, then rubbed her hands and asked cautiously, "Master Liu,Are you... caught the perpetrator? Can my building be reopened?"

Su Mu is the first and the second is the eldest, so now he has already acquiesced that he is the murderer?

Before he could complain, Liu Xiaoran said coolly from the side: "The case is still unsolved, how do you know who the murderer is? Could it be that you knew the murderer and couldn't wait to tell me who the murderer is?"

"This...is this..." The old bustard glanced at Su Mu, apparently very afraid of Su Mu's identity, and finally did not dare to speak, but said cryptically, "Does it still need to be checked?"

"You think he is the murderer, but you saw him commit the murder with your own eyes?"

"Of course it's..."

"Then he personally admitted to you that he is the murderer?"

"..."

"In that case, why are you so sure?"

Su Mu was stunned for a moment while listening. Although Liu Xiaoran didn't look easy to get along with, this advanced theory of victim innocence still impressed him.

Torture was advocated in ancient society, and cases of torture should be everywhere. Under such a background, my situation can be regarded as solid evidence. If I were a different person, I should have been arrested and sentenced.He had the opportunity to be shown the crime scene with his own eyes, and he didn't know whether Master Liu was really upright, or his identity as Marquis Anding was so good that even Dali Temple needed to be so cautious.

After Liu Xiaoran yelled at the old bustard, she didn't explain her intention of coming here, but just raised her legs and walked forward. Su Mu, who was still thinking about the reason, could only temporarily stop her thoughts and follow the others.

Before he reached the door, a strong smell of blood wafted over, and Su Mu tensed up subconsciously.He is no stranger to the smell of blood, but he doesn't like it either. In addition, because of the passage of time, the smell of blood has already turned into a stench, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable.

Out of the corner of Su Mu's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Mo Shu beside him with a sullen face, his right hand was grasping the hilt of the sword so hard that even the knuckles were a little white.

He thought that Mo Shu should be the same as himself, not used to such a strong smell, so he reached out and patted Mo Shu on the shoulder comfortingly.Mo Shu's body tensed, and then he relaxed, and the eyes he looked at Su Mu also became calm.

He shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Su Mu didn't continue to say anything, but continued to walk forward, and within a few steps, he reached the door of the room where the crime happened.

There was still blood splashed on the door, and as the door was gently pushed open by Liu Xiaoran, a strong stench mixed with the smell of makeup and powder rushed to the face, straight to the forehead.

Su Mu covered his mouth and nose subconsciously. The scene in front of him was like a scene from a horror movie. There were more mottled bloodstains in the house. Although in autumn, there were not as many mosquitoes as in summer, there were still many flies around.Fly, the scene is very nauseating.

The first time Su Mu appeared on the scene, he was so caught off guard that he fell in front of him, and he was still a criminal suspect.

In the end, he insisted on the stubbornness of a forensic science student. After adjusting his breathing, he withdrew his hand and walked into this small wing.

The bloodstains in the house are mottled. In ancient times when there was no awareness of protecting the scene, the scene had already been destroyed to pieces. Fortunately, the traces of blood dried up quickly. Although there were a few footprints on it, people could roughly distinguish the situation..

Since Su Mu entered the room, he automatically ignored the fact that he could breathe. After a long time of getting used to it, he managed to take a few small breaths of air through his mouth.

According to Qi Hao's description just now, this Miss Li died on the bed, and the candlestick fell by the bed, and he was found at the door, so according to the general logic, it should be that he accidentally killed Miss Li,But Ms. Li stabbed herself with a dagger during the resistance. She tried to go out after being seriously injured, but passed out at the door due to excessive blood loss... He sketched the complete incident and route in his mind, while lowering his head.Carefully examine the bloodstains.

Since the corpse has been taken away by Dali Temple, Dali Temple must have already found out the clues that can be found on it, and there should be no breakthrough, so the only thing he can use right now is the blood in front of him.

From the sidelines, Qi Hao watched Su Mu walking around leisurely, with a look of inquiry appearing in his eyes.The little Marquis of Andinghou Mansion can look so calm in the face of such a bloody scene, he really has no dog - if such a person is cruel for a while, it is not impossible to kill an unarmed woman,He originally wanted to see Liu Xiaoran's attitude, but he didn't want Liu Xiaoran to stare straight at Su Mu's movements without noticing his gaze at him, so he could only give up.

Liu Xiaoran's inner thoughts were roughly the same as Qi Hao's. He had been observing Su Mu's every move very carefully since entering the room. If Su Mu's expression loosened in any way, it could become a breakthrough in the interrogation.

But apart from being focused, Su Mu's expression showed no nervousness, which made it hard to tell who was from Dali Temple.

Naturally, Su Mu didn't notice the eyes of the two people around him looking at him. He roughly outlined the trajectories of the two people according to the distribution of the blood at the scene. When he walked slowly to the door along the blood, he suddenly froze..

"Mo Shu, come here."

He hooked his hand at the ink book standing beside him, "You stand here."

Although Mo Shu didn't understand why, he still stood obediently.

Su Mu held his hands empty, imitating the movement of a dagger stabbing down, and landed on Mo Shu's chest, then pulled it out again, looked at the arc of his arm, and looked thoughtfully at the blood stained on the door.

The lower apron of the door of Huancai Pavilion is made of solid wood, and the upper part of the door is covered with soft smoke, so that the light is transparent but the inside cannot be seen clearly.Now there are a lot of oval-shaped obliquely distributed bloodstains on the soft smoke. Su Mu is very sensitive to realize that these are throwing bloodstains, which means that someone once stabbed a dagger into his chest here.

wrong.

The picture in Su Mu's mind was instantly disrupted.

If it is said that she was stabbed here, then why did Ms. Li die on the bed? There are a lot of splattered blood on the bed, which is enough to prove that Ms. Li was attacked on the bed, and where did she get the strength to go to the door?To poke yourself?

He frowned and stroked it several times, but still felt that there was no solution.

Su Mu pondered for a while, squatted down and began to study the traces on the ground. The large bloodstain at the door gradually turned into many mottled blood spots. He carefully identified the oval blood spots.The little tail formed by the dripping splash is also longer, clearly pointing in the direction of the bed.

Explain that the bleeding person is walking towards the bed.

An idea began to appear clearly in front of him, and it was connected together through all traces of blood.

Watching Su Mu stop and go, his eyes sometimes drifting and sometimes clear, as if in a daze, Liu Xiaoran's doubts became more and more serious, and she was about to ask, but she didn't expect the person squatting on the ground to jump up and grab herWith wide sleeves, his eyes were full of spirits and he asked: "Master Liu, if I can prove that the person who killed Miss Li was not me, then you don't have to arrest me?"

Liu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment by this very hot gaze, and then nodded after reacting for a while.

He had almost dismissed the idea that Su Mu was the murderer, but he couldn't say it because the judgment was too subjective.Now that the little Marquis of Andinghou's mansion actually said that he can prove that he has nothing to do with this matter, he is quite interested.

Su Mu was overjoyed at his discovery, but hesitated when he wanted to speak.

Such things as bloodstains were rarely used in ancient cases. Will they believe them after explaining them themselves?

His eyes wandered around the faces of Liu Xiaoran and Qi Hao, and finally when he met Liu Xiaoran's eyes that were as calm as a pool of deep water, he regained a little confidence.

Although we didn't get along for a long time.But Liu Xiaoran seemed to be an upright and not pedantic person, if it was him, he should be able to understand what he said.

Su Mu stabilized his mind and began to speak while pointing to the blood stains beside the bed.

"Here, here, and here." He pointed to the three bloodstains under the lampstand where the candlestick was placed, beside the bed and on the window curtain, "The bloodstains in these three places are all very large, and the bloodThe dense drops indicate that Ms. Li was probably hit on the back of the head by a candlestick here."

Liu Xiaoran and Qi Hao obviously had no objection to this point, and they both acquiesced to this conclusion.

Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief, walked to the door, pointed to the bloodstain on the soft smoke at the door, and then explained: "The height of the bloodstain is higher than mine, which means that it can't be that I accidentally touched it when I walked here, but splashed itof."

He carefully observed the expressions of the two, and after confirming that they could still understand, he continued: "Explain, someone stabbed my chest with a dagger here, and this blood stain was when he pulled the dagger out of my chest.splashed on it."

"If Miss Li died there, how did she stab me here with a dagger?" Su Mu waved his hand, "This is impossible for a woman who has lost too much blood, let aloneNot to mention that it is unreasonable to lie back on the bed without calling for help after stabbing me."

Liu Xiaoran looked at the blood stains that were indeed taller than ordinary people, and although she didn't speak, she agreed with Su Mu's words.

Such traces are indeed a sign that someone committed a murder here, but they mostly ignored the bloodstains when they inspected the scene, and missed such a big suspicious point.

"Besides, I can provide a little direction." Seeing that neither of them refuted him, Su Mu understood, rubbed his palms on his clothes, and called for the ink book beside him.

He patted the sword on Mo Shu's waist and motioned for Mo Shu to hand it to him. Mo Shuben was still hesitating, but Su Mu smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, I can prove my innocence. I won't do anything unnecessary."If it is not good for the two adults of Dali Temple, I just want to do a small test."

Mo Shu had no choice but to carefully draw out the long sword, but he didn't expect Su Mu to draw a long slit in his palm with the sword as soon as he gritted his teeth.

This happened so quickly that Mo Shu didn't even have time to stop it, and just watched the blood dripping from Su Mu's palm.

The author has something to say:

It is really difficult to solve crimes in ancient times-even if you kill a person in broad daylight, as long as no one sees it, there is a high probability that you can escape.Basically, it can only rely on the suspect's own ghosts/found the murder weapon/the witnesses and can prove that what the witnesses said is correct, and the interrogation is often based on certain evidence, which is often impossible to form a completeTherefore, in the Tang Dynasty, while affirming torture as a means, they also paid more attention to evidence than before!(This was originally modified with the background of the Tang Dynasty, and many places also borrowed the system of the Song Dynasty ⊙﹏⊙Everything is for the plot, so it must be viewed as an overhead!)
