The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao then asked Feng Huaiyu how the investigation into Qian Song’s case was going.

Feng Huaiyu instantly regained his serious demeanor, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have made a new discovery. Last night, with the help of the shadow guard, I secretly sneaked into Qian's house and found three needle holes on his body. The needle holes were located right at his heart, arranged in a triangle shape. It should be caused by a hidden weapon with a needle. Afterwards, I checked the blood below his throat and found no signs of poisoning in the blood. So these three needle holes should be the real cause of Qian Song's death."

"According to the information I got from the Ministry of Justice, Qian Song committed suicide by taking poison in his study. Logically, if he committed suicide by taking poison, the poison in his body would spread throughout his body with the flow of blood. However, the results of my examination showed that except for the mouth and throat, there was no poison in other parts of his body. Therefore, I assert that he was poisoned after his death, creating the illusion of suicide by taking poison."

"Of course, this is just some inferences I made based on some clues."

"Then, the shadow guard took me to the crime scene, which was Qian Song's study. I checked inside and out, and there was no damage to the doors and windows, and the tables and chairs inside were not damaged at all. In other words, there was no fight in the room before Qian Song died."

"So where did the pinholes on his body come from?"

"If the murderer shot the needle-shaped hidden weapon into Qian Song's body from outside, there would definitely be clues left at the doors and windows. In addition, the location of Qian Song's study desk is in the center, with a wall behind it. The desk is more than two doors away from the door, and there is a screen in the middle. Even if it is a powerful master, it is unlikely that he would shoot Qian Song without seeing someone inside. Therefore, I conclude that the murderer must have committed the crime indoors at the time."

After saying this, Feng Huaiyu paused and looked towards Old Feng.

Elder Feng nodded in understanding and said, "Master Feng's analysis is correct. Even I cannot kill someone with a hidden weapon without knowing the person's exact location through an obstacle. I don't think anyone in the martial arts world can do it."

Feng Huaiyu gained confidence after receiving Feng Lao's affirmation, and continued, "So, the murderer could only have killed someone indoors, and there are only two situations for indoor murders. One is hiding in the dark and assassinating someone, and the other is being assassinated by an acquaintance who takes the person by surprise."

"I prefer the latter for two reasons."

"First, Qian Song's study is very large and can be seen at a glance. There is no place for people to hide inside."

"Secondly, even if the murderer hid in the study and suddenly attacked Qian Song, there must be some time! Once there is this short period of time, people will subconsciously dodge. After all, Qian Song is the Minister of Justice, and his vigilance must be very high. Even if he is now fat and his skills are not as good as before, he will definitely dodge subconsciously. In this case, it will be very difficult for the hidden weapon to hit Qian Song's heart exactly, and it is impossible to be so accurate."

"Therefore, I believe the murderer is an acquaintance."

"If it was really an acquaintance who committed the crime, it means Qian Song knew this person. Just imagine what kind of acquaintance could enter Qian Song's study when Qian Song was not prepared."

"I think it was someone from Qian's house. For a murder like this, the murderer can't come and go openly. He can only sneak in secretly. If the murderer suddenly appears in front of Qian Song without informing him, even if he is someone Qian Song knows, Qian Song will definitely know that he is here to kill him. He will definitely be on guard and leave clues at the scene."

"I have investigated the scene. There was no fight, and no other clues were left. The files of the Ministry of Justice also did not find any relevant clues."

"So, I boldly speculate that the murderer is most likely a thief in the Qian family. Strictly speaking, the murderer should be someone's spy planted in the Qian Mansion to monitor Qian Song for a long time, or the murderer has long been bribed by someone, and Qian Song still trusts this person. Only this makes sense."

"Perhaps, this person is still hiding in the Qian Mansion, secretly monitoring the Qian Mansion's movements."

After Feng Huaiyu finished speaking, Qin Hao took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit.

Qin Hao clapped his hands and praised, "Lord Feng is simply a great detective. His analysis is incisive and sharp, and he gets to the point directly. I admire you very much. From now on, I will call you Detective Feng."

Feng Huaiyu received Qin Hao's affirmation, but he did not get cocky. Instead, he said modestly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Analyzing the case and checking the scene are my duties. I don't know anything else but investigating the case."

Then he asked again: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Qin Hao laughed and comforted him, "Detective Feng, don't worry. As long as the murderer is still in Qian's house, we will definitely solve the case tonight. Just wait and see the overtime trial!"

"Ayue, come here. It's up to you from now on."

Qin Hao whispered something in her ear, and A Yue nodded continuously, then left the study.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what Qin Hao had told A Yue. They were all very curious.

Qin Hao smiled mysteriously and asked, "My Lords, have you ever heard of the story of 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"

Everyone shook their heads. Xie An asked tentatively, "Your Highness, is it possible that the mantis ate the cicada and it didn't know that there was a yellow bird behind it that wanted to eat it?"

"That's probably what it means!" Qin Hao nodded.

Feng Huaiyu was worthy of being called Detective Feng. His eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and said happily, "I know your Highness's plan. The murderer is the mantis. He has killed Qian Song, and we are the oriole behind the mantis. As long as the murderer makes the slightest move, he will fall into our sight and we can catch him."

"But the key is how to make the murderer reveal his true colors? Or make him take the next step?"

Qin Hao nodded in approval, smiling as he said, "If we spread the news that Qian Song left an important letter to save his life before his death, and it's in the hands of his wife or son, will the murderer show up and kill to silence him?"

"Yes, absolutely."

Feng Huaiyu shouted excitedly: "As soon as the murderer jumps out, our people will immediately arrest him and torture him severely. Even if he doesn't confess, it can prove that Qian Song was murdered, not suicide. As long as he is willing to confess, the person behind it will be revealed and the case will be solved."

"Gao, your highness's plan is truly profound and unfathomable. It seems that I will not be able to rest tonight and will have to work overtime to review the case."

Everyone was impressed by Qin Hao's strategy.
