Di Renjie had previously mentioned four key points of the case, namely Li Yuanfang, Ruo Tuan, Yiyang Junzhu, and the fire in the earthen kiln.
Now, the first key point, Li Yuan Fang's problem, was finally clear.
Perhaps Di Renjie still had some reservations about Li Yuanfang's trust, but Zhang Dingguo knew that Li Yuanfang was not a problem.
Due to the lack of information, it was impossible to deduce the disappearance of the group.
However, there was a more fundamental question that could be considered. Why did they pretend to be a diplomatic mission?
The kidnapping of Princess Yiyang could be explained as the group needed hostages.
However, if the regiment could capture Yi Yang Junzhu under the protection of thousands of troops, why would they send people to attack Yi Yang Junzhu the night before they left Luoyang? Wasn't this increasing the difficulty for him?
Also, the fire in the earthen kiln. Didn't he think that this was too much of a coincidence?
Combined with the information provided by Zhang Dingguo, regarding the Emperor's abnormal behavior after learning that the kiln was on fire, Di Renjie was keenly aware that there was a big problem with the kiln!
It had to be said that after Zhang Dingguo's two consecutive incidents, the case of the diplomatic mission being killed had become completely different...
Under Zhang Dingguo's lead, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang arrived at the earthen kiln, which was located in a corner of the city.
What surprised Zhang Dingguo was that it had been a few days since the fire broke out. Why was this place still in ruins?
Could it be that the Emperor had deliberately left this place untouched, waiting for others to investigate? But something was wrong!
Zhang Dingguo had gone to fetch Di Renjie for half a month. No matter how slow the internal guards were, they should have finished cleaning up the ruins, right?
Moreover, the emperor did not seem to want Di Renjie to know about the earthen kiln at the beginning of the play, so it was even more impossible for the scene to be reserved for Di Renjie.
However, since they were already here and this place was not destroyed, there was no need to think so much. Perhaps some people simply wanted to slack off?
Under Di Renjie's command, the three of them began to search the ruins to see if they could find any clues.
Perhaps Zhang Dingguo and Li Yuanfang were inexperienced, they did not find any special clues after walking around.
On the contrary, Di Renjie had only taken two steps when he found a handkerchief that hadn't been burned clean under a ruin. He hurriedly shouted,""Dingguo, Yuanfang, quickly come over and take a look!”
Upon hearing that Di Renjie had found something, Zhang Dingguo and Li Yuanfang quickly ran over to take a look.
Li Yuanfang did not recognize what it was at first, but Zhang Dingguo knew that it was the signature handkerchief used by Viper.
Speaking of which, Hu Jinghui really liked to act cool. Why would he throw a handkerchief for no reason? Wasn't this just leaving evidence for others?
If it weren't for the handkerchief that hadn't been burned, Di Renjie wouldn't have had any direct evidence to link the fire in the kiln to the murder of the diplomatic mission. It could even be said that the reason Di Renjie was able to solve the case of the diplomatic mission being killed was largely due to Hu Jinghui's conceit!
However, Zhang Dingguo had managed to defeat Viper in the last confrontation, so Viper did not have the chance to wipe the blood on his sword with a handkerchief.
During the last night chat, Li Yuan Fang hadn't even taken out Viper's handkerchief when he encountered the fake Thousand Bull Guard's edict, so theoretically, he didn't recognize this handkerchief.
As such, Zhang Dingguo could not express his opinion on this.
However, Di Renjie had seen the handkerchief when he asked Li Yuanfang about the details that night, so he could recognize the handkerchief fragment at a glance.
After Zhang Dingguo and Li Yuanfang came over, Di Renjie took out the complete handkerchief from his pocket.
By comparison, even if this handkerchief fragment had been burned and rained for a few days, it could still be seen that the texture of the two scarves was exactly the same. It was obvious that they came from the same place.
Moreover, there were no such coincidences in the world, so it could be determined that these two handkerchief were used by Viper.
In this way, coupled with Zhang Dingguo's identification of Viper as the main criminal who attacked Commandery Princess Yiyang, it was equivalent to Viper connecting all the key points of the case alone, which became the biggest breakthrough point of the case.
Zhang Dingguo and Li Yuanfang were shocked when Di Renjie told them about his deduction. However, one of them said it out of emotion, while the other was pretending.
"Dingguo, Yuanfang, let me ask you two questions. Why do you think Viper is willing to take such a risk to assassinate the Turkic envoy? And why did they send people to pretend to be diplomatic envoys to Luoyang after the incident?”Di Renjie asked in a mystifying manner.
Dingguo and Yuanfang are both generals, so why are you cultivating their reasoning abilities?
However, Zhang Dingguo did not mind. Instead, he said firmly,""It's very simple. They want to stir up the flames of war between the two countries!”
"That's not right, right? If that was the case, they only needed to kill the envoy. Why would they send a fake envoy to the capital?”Li Yuan Fang objected.
"No, what you said is two different things. Viper had killed the Turkic envoy to incite a war between the two countries. As for why they sent out the hypothesis team, it was probably for another purpose. The two things could not be mixed up.”Zhang Dingguo insisted on his opinion again.
"Dingguo, do you have any basis for saying that Viper must want to stir up a war between the two countries?”Di Renjie was more interested in this and wanted to hear Zhang Dingguo's opinion.
"Elder Guo, this logic is actually very simple.
Generally speaking, one needed a reason to do anything, as well as to consider whether the benefits and risks were proportional.
We can be sure that the Viper Sect's fake diplomatic mission must be for an ulterior motive.
But what was the purpose that made Viper risk offending two countries to assassinate the diplomatic mission? One had to know that once this matter was exposed, they would definitely die without a burial place! It was also impossible for the benefits of one matter to exceed the price of offending two powerful countries at the same time.
Besides, with Viper's ability, what could be done by pretending to be a diplomatic mission?
Therefore, I can conclude that at least one of their goals is to provoke the war between the two countries!”
Zhang Dingguo said these words with full confidence. Not only did he demonstrate his reasoning ability so that he could continue to follow Fatty Di in the future, but he also stopped at the appropriate point without revealing any information that should not be revealed.
"That makes sense. Then can't they do it for their own benefits?”Di Renjie was deliberately testing the way of teaching.
"That's even more impossible. To put it bluntly, how much can the emperor's reward for the diplomatic mission be worth? With Viper and his gang's ability, they could easily rob a few merchant caravans or a few rich people in the countryside. Moreover, the risk was small.
Who would risk their entire family to assassinate a diplomatic mission just for a small reward? Did a donkey kick your head?" Zhang Dingguo said nonchalantly.
At the same time, Li Yuanfang also echoed,"That's right. If they only wanted money, they wouldn't have let me escape, and they wouldn't have assassinated the princess or the lord!”
