Decisive Evidence!
"Wounds?"
When Han Min and the others heard Lu Qing's words, they hurriedly looked at Li Chengyi's hand.
Sure enough, Li Chengyi's right hand was wrapped in a white cloth. The white cloth was stained with some dark blood. He was indeed injured.
However, they had never noticed it before, so no one had this impression of it even if Lu Qing did not mention it.
"Lord Shaoqing, is there any problem with Li Chengyi's injury?" Han Min asked.”
Lu Qing looked at Li Chengyi, whose expression had suddenly changed. He smiled lightly and said,""The wound is naturally fine. Who doesn't get injured? However, there might be some problems with the cause of the injury.”
"The cause of the injury?" Everyone was stunned.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian's gaze landed directly on Li Chengyi and asked,""How did you get injured?"
Li Chengyi's eyes flickered as he said,""I accidentally got scratched at home. Why? Lord Lu, can't I even be injured?”
"Were you injured at home?"
He chuckled and did not answer Li Chengyi. Instead, he looked at Li Chengqian and said,"Your Highness, Li Chengyi hasn't left Your Highness 'side since yesterday's incident, right?”
Li Chengqian did not understand the meaning behind Lu Qing's question, but he still answered,""That's right. When I heard that something had happened to Nanny yesterday, I immediately called him over and asked him to help me investigate.”
"After that, he either stayed with me or stayed in the Eastern Palace without leaving.”
Lu Qing nodded and looked at Li Chengyi again.""So, you haven't had the chance to destroy the conclusive evidence, right?”
"What?"
Han Min was confused.
"Lord Shaoqing, what conclusive evidence? Why can't I understand?"
Not only was Han Min confused.
Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian.
Now, they felt that they were idiots. Lu Qing clearly understood every word, but when they put them together, they had no idea what Lu Qing was talking about.
Li Chengqian's expression wasn't good." Lu Qing, don't keep me in suspense. What exactly is going on?"”
Lu Qing looked at Li Chengyi's pale face and knew that everything was as he had expected.
Li Chengyi was really Li Chengqian who succeeded and Li Chengqian who failed!
"Lu Shisan," he said.
"Yes."
"Go, search Li Chengyi's body.”
Hearing this, Lu Shisan walked towards Li Chengyi without hesitation.
" Stop, Your Highness!" Li Chengyi was shocked." This is the Eastern Palace. Are you going to let Lu Qing and the others be so arrogant?"”
However, Li Chengqian frowned and looked at Li Chengyi. He thought for a moment and said,"Just let them search. If Lu Qing framed you in the end, don't worry, I won't let Lu Qing off.”
When Li Chengyi heard this, he suddenly revealed a bitter smile.
He was originally still struggling, but at this moment, after hearing Li Chengqian's words, the expression on his face actually changed 180 degrees.
He glanced coldly at Li Chengqian and sneered,""You really inherited the cold-blooded and vicious nature of the Li family. I've been with you for five years and been your dog for five years, but in the end, I can't even compare to the words of a person who just had a conflict with you!”
" What did you say?!"
When Li Chengqian heard Li Chengyi's words, his face darkened and he immediately shouted,""Li Chengyi, do you know what you're talking about?？”
Li Chengyi did not even look at Li Chengqian.
He turned to Lu Qing and said," There's no need to search. I really don't have the chance to destroy it."”
As he spoke, Li Chengyi took out a cloth bag and handed it to Lu Shisan.
Lu Shisan quickly handed the bag to Lu Qing.
"Lord Shaoqing, what is inside?”Han Min quickly came over.
Lu Qing threw it to Han Min and said,"Open it yourself."”
Han Min did not say anything and quickly opened the cloth bag.
Then, he discovered that the cloth bag contained a pearl hairpin. To be more precise, it was a broken pearl hairpin.
Moreover, the pearl hairpin was covered in blood, making it look ghastly.
"Pearl hairpin?" Han Min's brows were tightly knitted together."Sir, is there a problem with this pearl hairpin?”
Lu Qing did not answer Han Min, but looked at Li Chengqian and said,""Your Highness, come and take a look. See if you recognize this pearl hairpin.”
Li Chengqian hurriedly walked over.
When he took a closer look, his expression changed.
He said," I gave this to Nanny. This pearl hairpin was specially made by me, and there is only one of it in the entire Tang Empire. But why is it here?"”
"Li Chengyi, why is Nanny's pearl hairpin with you? What exactly is going on? Tell me!”
Li Chengqian suddenly pulled Li Chengyi's collar and roared.
Li Chengyi pushed Li Chengqian away roughly. He tidied up his clothes and ignored the stomping Li Chengqian. Instead, he looked at Lu Qing and said,"When did you suspect me? When did you confirm that it was mine?”
Everyone looked at Lu Qing.
From the beginning to the end of this case, Li Chengyi did not seem to have any connection, so how did Lu Qing lock his eyes on Li Chengyi?
Lu Qing said calmly," Nanny's murder case. You deliberately framed Wei Zheng. I have to say, you did a good job. It was a complete secret room, and it was a scene where the person was caught red-handed.”
"However, when you left the scene to create the secret chamber, you left behind a clue.”
"What clues?" Li Chengyi asked.
Lu Qing said," The window lock in Plum Garden is a bolt. I think when you left through the window, in order to create a secret room, you tied the bolt's head with a thin thread. Then, after you closed the window, you pulled the thread hard and broke it. The bolt will fall down by itself and lock the window, forming a secret room.”
"But you didn't notice that the thin thread slid through the wood of the window and left traces. This let me know that Wei Zheng was framed.”
"So at that time, I began to shift my suspicion away from Wei Zheng and began to look for others.”
" That woman was afraid of death at the last moment," Li Chengyi sighed." She didn't want to die…so I had no choice but to take action. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left such a clue in such a hurry."”
"And then? This is not enough to make you suspect me, right?" Li Chengyi asked.
Lu Qing nodded." That's right. The person who really made me suspect the Crown Prince's faction was Qin Yi's death. Your mistake was killing Qin Yi and his son. The more people you kill, the more clues you will leave behind.”
"A nanny died. There's no beginning or end. It's actually very difficult to guess what happened! However, you killed Qin Yi, and Qin Yi's death was so unexpected. If the two of them were killed by the same person, then it would explain the problem. It would directly determine the range of people the Crown Prince trusted.”
"What made me suspect you was when I saw you in prison.”
"You saw me in prison?" "I didn't reveal anything wrong, did I?" Li Chengyi frowned.”
" Lord Wei's hair, the wound on your hand, and the pool of blood in the Plum Garden," Lu Qing said." And…I noticed something was wrong when I saw Nanny's corpse…At that moment, I instantly understood everything.”
…………
P.S.: I thought that I could finish the story of Li Chengyi's crime in one chapter, but it seems that I can't finish it. I have to take care of everything from beginning to end and explain the clues that were reserved before. It will take up a lot of space.
As the author continued to write, he would improve and strive to be more concise. He believed that the more cases he wrote, the more proficient he would be. Thank you for your tolerance and support.
