Only then did Yun Xi remember that His Highness the Xian King had not known the details before, and looked at Lu Qingfan inquiringly.

Lu Qingfan briefly summarized their connection from the case in Feng County to the murder of Luo Jiutian in a few sentences.

"Are you saying that the people who killed Zhou Xi and his entourage and took away one hundred thousand taels of stolen silver were the same people who wanted to assassinate you and destroy the evidence in Liang Zhan's hands and now kill Luo Jiutian?"

The question asked by the Xian Wang was so strange that Yun Xi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but be startled. Ran Piao and Ren Danqing were also startled when they heard the words.

You know, before Luo Jiutian's death, everyone thought that King Xian was the most suspected person behind all this.

"Do you doubt this king?!"

The wise king could see the deep meaning in everyone's eyes at a glance, his condensed eyebrows seemed to be frozen, and he shouted angrily: "What kind of identity do I have, that I can slander a generation of academics and politicians with a mere hundred thousand taels of silver?!"

Yun Xi: "..."

No wonder there are rumors that His Highness the Wise King is very "self-reliant on his status", and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Although His Highness King Xu Shixian is arrogant, he is not vulgar; Xu Shi uses the word "unjust" in his evaluation of his father... She does not hate His Highness King Xian.

"Does His Highness the King Xian also feel that Jiangnan Bai Xuezheng was wronged?" Lu Qingfan suddenly caught the key point and asked in a deep voice: "But ten years ago, His Highness never spoke up to defend Bai Xuezheng."

"What I think is not important. What is important is that the evidence of the crime is conclusive and cannot be denied." The wise king's back was straight and he did not think there was anything wrong with what he said.

How to defend and explain something with solid evidence?!

For a moment, everyone fell into silence again.

"Then... let me talk about the case again?" After a while, Yun Xi took the initiative to break the silence, pointing to the several stab wounds on Luo Jiutian's body and said: "The criminal's martial arts skills are either worse than Mr. Luo's, or he is on par with Mr. Luo."

In order to hit the target with one blow, the criminal had to choose to go all out, so there was no way he could fake the stab wound.

As for why he used Luo Jiutian's knife to kill people, Yun Xi still has no idea.

"If there is a duel between people by name in the arena, weapons will occasionally be exchanged." Lu Qingfan explained.

"Mr. Luo, thank you." After figuring out this key, Yun Xi was finally able to connect the whole story of the case together.

The criminal used an excuse to challenge Luo Jiutian. The two used the same weapons, so Luo Jiutian relied on his superior martial arts skills and chose to agree.

During the duel, the two men fought fiercely... Perhaps at a critical moment, Luo Jiutian made a sudden move and was seized by the criminal, who killed him immediately.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Yun Xi's mind, and she immediately stood where the deceased Luo Jiutian was, vaguely combining the place where Fang Lian'er's crime occurred with this place in her heart.

He stared at a dark row house in front of him with clear eyes, "So that's it!"

She grabbed Lu Qingfan's sleeve and said anxiously: "Sir, there may be clues to the murderer on the roof!"

Lu Qingfan was startled when he heard this, took the torch from the guard's hand, and carried Yun Xi up to the roof.

The two men were looking for something on the eaves with scattered small things, and the Xian Wang's face turned dark again.

He stared at Ren Danqing and Ran Piao coldly, "Your Lord Shangfeng and Zuo have always been so confused?"

"There is no 'messing up', it's obviously a tacit understanding..." Qingguo muttered in a low voice, but King Xian heard him, and King Xian gave Qingguo a sharp look.

Ren Danqing hurriedly stepped forward to block the little maid, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King, forgive me for my sins, but it is true that Your Excellency, the Minister, and Yun Wuzuo have jointly solved countless cases along the way, and have developed a lot of tacit understanding."

He respectfully explained Fang Lian'er's case in detail, including how Yun Xi found the candy cake discarded by the deceased and how they stared at the lighted window in a daze.

Compared with Lu Qingfan, Ren Danqing is really a good storyteller, and he made the events that took place less than half an hour tonight full of suspense and ups and downs.

The wise king was fascinated by what he heard and did not care about Qingguo's crime of disrespect.

"...So, since the places where the two crimes occurred are so similar, Yun Wuzuo suspected that the murderer killed Fang Lian'er, and it must have been because of something Fang Lian'er saw."

Ren Danqing concluded: "Just now, Yun Wuzuo saw that the surrounding layout is so similar to Fang Lian'er's crime scene. There must be something abnormal about this similarity!"

"Not bad." The wise king nodded slightly when he heard the words, and looked at the progress of Yun Xi and Lu Qingfan unconsciously.

Ren Danqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Ran Piao next to him gave him a thumbs up and said silently, "Master is so eloquent."

Ren Danqing rolled his eyes angrily.

On the eaves, Yun Xi said softly: "The criminal has rehearsed several times in advance and is waiting for an opportunity to kill Mr. Luo. He must have set foot here early..."

Once you find the footprints left by the murderer, it is not difficult to deduce the murderer's figure.

Lu Qingfan also said: "With Mr. Luo's skills, there are only a few masters who can injure him to such a degree within half a quarter of an hour when he is alone. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, there are only a few."

The suspicion of the master of the Double Knife Sect is getting bigger and bigger, but he can never be found.

He wanted to hide secretly in the huge capital city, but the search was quite difficult.

"Your Majesty said before that His Highness the King Xian was assassinated one after another. Was he also assassinated today?" Yun Xi had just noticed this, but was too anxious to find it along the way and didn't bother to ask.

"Well," thinking about it now, the murderer's assassination of His Highness the Xian King was probably part of the plan.

While Yun Xi was searching, she recalled what she had missed, but she couldn't remember it for a long time, so she could only put it aside for the time being.

Only half a footprint was found on the eaves, and no other details were found.

Yun Xi came down from the eaves with drooping eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh: "The murderer should have been dealt with before leaving, and only half of his footprints were left."

The criminal was about the same height as Luo Jiutian. He was a master of using thin-edged double swords, with average lightness skills and extraordinary swordsmanship.

Based on this inference, he is quite similar to the master of the Shuangdao Sect.

Everyone was accustomed to Yun Xi deducing the appearance of the murderer, but this was not the case when the King Xian heard it: "You are making such wild claims. You have neither done an autopsy nor are you good at martial arts. How can you deduce that the size of the murderer is similar to Mr. Luo?"

Faced with the doubts of His Highness the Xian King, Yun Xi said calmly: "Mr. Luo died of trauma. His technique was skillful, so a laparotomy is of little use."

Since the clues are all on the surface, it is not a murder case; the accuracy of the trauma inference is high enough.

"The wounds the criminal stabbed Mr. Luo were all flat..."

Yun Xi gestured at the scars on Mr. Luo's chest, neck and shoulders. They were almost all smooth; past the shoulders and neck, the wounds were scratched from top to bottom.

Yun Xi inspected the wounds and deduced that the accuracy of the murderer's technique was enough to make up for her lack of martial arts skills.

"Who is the master of the Double Knife Sect? Is he worthy of being compared with Mr. Luo?" The wise king stopped dwelling on the size of the murderer and immediately changed the subject.

The wise king felt unhappy when he thought that Mr. Luo, whom he relied on so much, died in the hands of a reckless swordsman.

Lu Qingfan gave a brief introduction, but His Highness Xian Wang showed a disgusted expression and asked Ren Danqing to answer by name.

[Author's digression]: Lu Qingfan:???

The Wise King: Looking at the sky speechless (Why do you like to listen to stories?)

Ren Danqing:...I am a master, not a storyteller!

Ran Piao: No, you are.

Yun Xi: Master, you really are.
