Daming King of Punishment

Putting these words aside, Song Wuya immediately pulled Bai Zhuo forward, he didn't want Bai Zhuo to get drunk here, so as not to cause any trouble.Eunuch Zhao doesn't like them no matter what, if he sees Bai Zhuo's mouth, won't he blame them?

Fortunately, Bai Zhuo was still sober, a few glasses of wine didn't make him confused.Song Wuya entered it first and looked at the footprints on the ground, but because there were so many people coming and going here, the footprints on the ground were so messy that they couldn't make out anything.The layout of the room is very luxurious, the tall pillars are hung with bright red silk, and there are huge candle holders in several places in the room, and there are still a lot of candles left on them.

"The door was blown open by the cold wind, and all the candles were extinguished!" Song Wuya frowned and looked at the door, then at the candle beside him, rolling his eyeballs, thinking to himself: "How strong is the wind?" Ah! to blow out so many candles in an instant?"

It is common sense for a strong wind to blow out the candles, but Song Wuya knew that it was a rare thing for so many candles to be blown out all at once.He frowned and thought about it, and looked around the room for other clues.

Chapter 144 Incredible

The two generals saw that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo had entered the scene of the crime, so they immediately put down their wine glasses and followed.

"Young Master Song, if you have anything to do, just ask us brothers."

The two generals stepped forward and said politely to Song Wuya.Song Wuya frowned, and then he was relieved. After all, these two people were also living on their salaries. It was their duty to solve this case. Seeing Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo come over, they naturally couldn't just sit still .

Knowing that the two of them were afraid of delaying Song Wuya's solution to the case, they became nervous.

Wanting to understand this, Song Wuya immediately asked the two generals and Bai Zhuo beside him.

"Have you ever thought about what kind of wind is able to extinguish all the candles in the house at once?"

Song Wuya's words can be regarded as questioning the three of them, and Bai Zhuo naturally needless to say, how could he know this situation, after all he is not even willing to light a candle.The other two generals also looked at each other in blank dismay.Although they had seen so many candlesticks being blown by the wind, they had never known that all of them were blown out by the strong wind.

"Master Song, what do you mean by that?"

The two generals didn't understand why Song Wuya cared about the matter of the candle, after all, in their view, it was an irrelevant matter and had nothing to do with the whole case.

However, Song Wuya naturally had an answer to this question in his heart.The reason why he asked was precisely because he felt that this detail was very problematic.

It was already high in the sun at this moment, Song Wuya immediately got up and came to the candlestick, frowning, he went up and down, left and right, and carefully inspected it inside and out.

His behavior made the two generals puzzled.What's so interesting about this candlestick? Although it is said to be a royal thing, the candles on it are nothing special. They have seen it countless times, and there is nothing worth noting at all.

"Which one of you is carrying a fire bag?" Song Wuya ignored the puzzled expressions of the two of them, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked like two generals.

The two generals looked at each other, frowning tightly.

"Young Master Song, it's daytime, so there's no need to light candles, right?"

"Yes! What's more, the things at the scene of the crime, I think it's better not to move around."

The two of them did not answer Song Wuya's question, but instead warned Song Wuya in confusion.

This made Song Wuya a little unwilling to listen, but after all, he is just a commoner, even though he came here to solve the case according to the emperor's order, he was not even given any privileges, not even a token .He couldn't help that he was not free to come and go here, and he might be interrogated by the guards in the palace everywhere.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya was helpless, but still took a deep breath, without thinking too much, and explained to the two generals: "The two generals don't need to be confused, since I came here to investigate the case according to the emperor's order, naturally I have to investigate it myself. And the reason why the emperor trusts me is entirely because of my ability. So you don’t have to worry about this matter, I will be able to solve the mystery for you right away.”

Even though Song Wuya said it so confidently, when the two generals hesitated to take out the fire pocket, they still looked at him suspiciously.

Smiling at the two of them, Song Wuya opened the torch, blew hard a few times, and the flames burst out.As Song Wuya raised his hand, the flame slowly approached the candle, and the flame soon landed on the candle wick.

This is clearly lighting a candle!Thanks to Song Wuya for being so mysterious, the two generals smiled helplessly.

crackle!

Just when the two of them were laughing and wanted to ask Song Wuya, the candle wick suddenly made a crisp sound, and the flame on the torch swayed violently.The two generals were startled immediately, and the crackling sound suddenly repeated again.

"Do the two generals understand now?"

Song Wuya put away the fire folder and handed it back to the general.The two looked at each other, even though they didn't know how Song Wuya discovered this, they still understood what he wanted to express.

Song Wuya left the candlestick, walked to the brazier, and then said: "This kind of trick is easy to see through. Especially in winter, if people are dead in this room, naturally there is no need to light the lamp again. The inside of the room is not much warmer than the outside. The little water that the murderer poured into the candle beforehand has not completely evaporated. If this is placed in summer, it will be considered perfect!"

"So that's it! How did you find out about this?"

When the two generals heard Song Wuya's explanation, they were immediately amazed.

"It's really nothing! I just think that the wind that can blow out all the candles should be very strong. And we were in the capital a few days ago, and we didn't feel such a strong cold wind. So I guessed that the other party must be What method was used to achieve this. I have considered many possible solutions, but in the end I feel that this is the most suitable."

Since the two of them wanted to know this, Song Wuya simply stated his reasoning.Bai Zhuo listened at the side, and regained his energy. He hurriedly found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to record all Song Wuya's words just now.

After all, these two generals were rough wielding knives and guns. Although they understood Song Wuya's explanation, they were somewhat suspicious.

"Why is this solution the most suitable?"

"Because you mentioned a detail just now." Hearing this question, Song Wuya said with a smile.

This made the general even more confused. He frowned: "Details? What details? Why don't I know?"

"That's your negligence!" Song Wuya said politely, "You said at that time that after the candle was extinguished, no matter how they lit it, they would never light it again."

"That's right! That's the situation." The general suddenly understood, and immediately understood the meaning.

Immediately, he couldn't help giving Song Wuya a thumbs up, and he was even more polite to Song Wuya.

"Mr. Song, what else do you need to do? Just do what you tell me. Although you are not very old, I can see that you are really capable! Just now we are two brothers, seeing how young you are , and still look down on you, now that you have analyzed it like this, it really makes a fool of yourself."

To be honest, although the two generals were cold-faced at first, after a few words of conversation, they found that their tempers were much better.Compared with that Eunuch Zhao, they are really good people.According to the two of them, they are both generals of the Forbidden Army, and their status is not comparable to that of a commoner like him.It's good to be able to speak peacefully.

At this time, they took the initiative to admit the mistake just now, which really moved Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

Song Wuya hastily said modestly: "The two generals are serious! I am indeed young, and it is reasonable for you to think so. Right now, I have a rough look at the scene, but if I want to thoroughly understand the case, I still have to It is necessary to understand the process of the incident. I would like to ask the maids and eunuchs serving here for some information, is it convenient for the general to see?"

No matter how high the other party gave him, he knew in his heart that he was not in charge here, and these two generals had to speak everywhere.

Fortunately, with the episode just now, the two generals also looked at Song Wuya with admiration. After he made this request, he was immediately granted.

"Come here! Give me the maids and eunuchs who are under custody, and bring them up one by one to be interrogated by Mr. Song."

The general ordered sternly.It's just that what he said made Song Wuya feel uncomfortable. Now that the case is unknown, it is still unknown whether there is a real murderer among those court ladies and eunuchs.Now they can only be regarded as annoying at best, but this general completely treats them as criminals, and doesn't even have the minimum respect for these court ladies and eunuchs.

Of course, Song Wuya only felt emotional in his heart, and he didn't say much.

An eunuch was brought up, his face was pale, his clothes were badly torn, and he looked dirty.It can be seen that there are blood stains, and it can be seen that the two generals did not treat them well, and they have already tortured them to extract confessions.

The eunuch fell to his knees directly on the ground, his eyes were full of fear, and he didn't dare to look up at the two generals.

"Look up! This young master has something to ask you."

Seeing him bowing his head in silence and trembling all over, the general immediately yelled.The eunuch raised his head obsequiously, almost crying.

This eunuch is not very old, he looks a few years younger than Song Wuya's current age.He is just a child, how can he stand these beatings and insults.The expression on his face made Song Wuya feel distressed when he saw it.

Seeing this, Song Wuya hurriedly stood up and said to the general: "You two generals, the murderer may not be someone like them. You don't have to be so angry, just keep drinking and let me inquire."

The two generals are also people who have served in the deep palace for a long time. They couldn't understand the meaning of Song Wuya's words, and they clearly didn't want them to interfere in this matter.The two looked at each other, then nodded, turned and sat beside the brazier.
