Chapter 394 Full Fish Feast (7)
The adults who had an appointment with Zhao Mengzhuo were the most important "suspects" and needed to be questioned by Lin Fei personally.
Ordinary passers-by, after the guards asked for information such as their names, homes, residences, etc., they went back.
As far as pedestrians watching the excitement are concerned, most of them are those who leave after being questioned, but there are exceptions.
"Why am I not allowed to leave?" Although Princess Liyang, who was escorted by the guards, was shocked by the officers and soldiers before, after an hour of questioning, she gradually gained confidence again after seeing most of the passers-by leaving one after another. She pointed at Zhao Mengzhuo lying on the ground and said, "What does his death have to do with me? I came to Furong Garden for a banquet today."
The clerk of Dali Temple who was questioned by Princess Liyang did not panic at all when facing the princess. He pointed to the Furong Garden opposite and said: "I just came from the Furong Garden opposite to report that someone lost something in the Ladies' Pavilion. They and their group As soon as I left, the princess passed by, and I wanted to ask the princess..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Princess Liyang.
"What good thing has this princess never seen before? Will she covet that little thing?" Princess Liyang looked at the Dali Temple official who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of her with an ugly face. Although she could not help but be angry, she was not brainless after all. She immediately understood : "Who came to report? Is it Xingkang?"
The little official didn't hide it, he nodded immediately and said: "Because what is lost is a gift from the emperor, it is of course important. Please forgive me, Princess."
After the explanation, the clerk glanced at Princess Liyang, who was "knowing things like a god", and understood in his heart that this was probably a dispute between several noble girls of the clan.
The Dali Temple Yamen does not exist to resolve the angry discord between a few noble ladies, so he is too lazy to get involved. After all, nothing is as important as Mr. Zhao's case at the moment.
After nodding, he didn't bother to pay attention to Princess Liyang's anger. He pointed to the gatehouse in Furong Garden opposite that had been specially cleared out, and said: "Princess, please move to the gatehouse. When the whole matter is found out, the missing emperor will be found." You can leave after you find the gift."
Princess Liyang snorted coldly, glanced at the group of Princess Xingkang in the crowd, and then looked back to see that she was alone. Although she had a guard, she was a little scared.
So I thought about it and said to the young official: "I'm afraid my father will be worried if I go back late. Can you send my bodyguard to go back home to report it?"
Of course King Li Yang would not be worried. After all, she had often taken her bodyguards, maids, and mother-in-law with her for several days after going out. If she had enough people, she wouldn't be afraid.
It was just different today. Seeing County Princess Xingkang and his party approaching in a menacing manner, and with more guards than herself, Princess Liyang felt a little frightened. Therefore, the reply was false, but the escort returning to the house to call for someone was true.
The clerk would not interfere with this matter, so he waved his hand and motioned her to go to the hotel, and did not bother with other matters.
Wen Mingtang watched the two discordant parties being invited to the Hibiscus Garden across the street, and subconsciously frowned: It's not unheard of for noble ladies to have disputes and stumble each other. I don't know why, but looking at the ancient atmosphere between the two, I always feel like something is going to happen.
After all, Princess Liyang is different from ordinary noble ladies who make trippers play tricks on people. Her trippers can kill people. Anyone who can stand up to her is probably ruthless.
When the two parties entered the Furong Garden opposite, Wen Mingtang withdrew his gaze. Although his intuition was wrong, the things in front of him were more important than the things over there.
Not far away, Lin Fei was asking those "friends" who had tea with Zhao Mengzhuo what happened at the time of the incident.
Those people defended themselves: "Nothing happened, except that when he was talking, he fell and slipped out of the Star Building without warning. By the time we chased him down, it was already too late!"
With the height of four floors of the Star Building, it would be impossible for a god to save him if he fell.
Lin Fei said "hmm" and neither sarcastically nor responded, but continued to ask those people noncommittally: "Why did so many people see one of you push him?"
"We never pushed him!" One of them looked at Lin Fei, probably in a hurry, and subconsciously called out "nephew". When he realized that he was in public, this "nephew" Not only would it be possible to transfer Lin Fei, who is now the best at investigating crimes in Chang'an City, but it would also make his own body, which was already unclean, even dirtier. His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said these two words and said, "Shao Qing." Just trust me and I’ll wait!”
Lin Fei had not heard of the word "good nephew" and only looked at the few people in front of him. These people were all members of the court who were close to his grandfather. When he saw them, he would always bow down. I salute and call "Shi Bo", and occasionally they will give me some advice on how to behave in society or in officialdom.
The steady elder who was trying to remind him now seemed to have changed. Some were sweating on his forehead, some were stamping his feet uncomfortably, some were covering his hands, or some were blushing. Such an awkward and panicked look fell in Lin Fei's eyes, and he sighed in his heart. tone.
No matter how high-ranking, powerful, ministers, princes or princes they are, they are often like this when they are being interrogated for crime and punishment. They have exactly the same reaction as the people in front of them.
"Since I didn't push Mr. Zhao, why did so many people see a few of them reaching out?" Lin Fei said, pointing to the pedestrians who had not completely left, and said, "There are many witnesses."
The words "witnesses" made the faces of several people who were not pretty look even more ugly.
Lin Fei paused without waiting for the others' answers, and then said, "Moreover, why are you so anxious to touch Mr. Zhao? Do you know that this is the scene of a murder case? In full view of the public, this is tantamount to concealing the truth. Doing nothing since then is even more suspicious." At this point, Lin Fei's eyes fell on a few people, "I don't hesitate to touch Mr. Zhao's body to increase the suspicion. May I ask what you are looking for?"
There are no fools in the court. It is said that things like this can be known after a brief thought. Even if it is confirmed that Zhao Mengzhuo's death was caused by these few people, they would not do something stupid like touching Zhao Mengzhuo's body in public for no reason.
But...a group of smart people who are quite understanding of human nature did such a stupid thing! Lin Fei frowned: Zhao Mengzhuo's fall seemed simple, with all the witnesses, but for some reason, when he thought about it carefully, it was indescribably weird.
All he could guess was that there was something on Zhao Mengzhuo, so that these people wanted to dig up Zhao Mengzhuo's body even if they wanted to increase their suspicion.
Of course, no matter whether they were found or not, these people were always surrounded by the crowd watching the excitement and never left. Therefore, if there is such a thing, it should still be in these people.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei raised his hand and called for the officer, then turned to those people and said: "These few suspects are serious. According to our law, we need to search them to see if they are carrying anything related to the case."
