When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Say it.

Lin Lezhi looked at Liu Yunhe who was hiding behind Xiao Yihuo and stretched out his hand to him, "Yunhe, did you find what I asked you to find?"

At this moment, Liu Yunhe was struggling with his conscience and was suddenly called by Lin Lezhi. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

“Found it… found it!”

Liu Yunhe responded and hurriedly took out the thing that Lin Lezhi asked him to find from his arms. He took a few quick steps and handed it to Lin Lezhi, then returned to Xiao Yihuo with a heavy heart.

Liu Yunhe felt that both Lin Lezhi and Luo Zhifeng's statements made sense.

But on one side was Jiang Lian'an, and on the other side was Luo Zhifeng, the chief disciple of Tiandi Pavilion whom he had admired for a long time. This made him hesitant for a moment.

It’s not about who to trust, but because he is a little confused about himself.

Change to before.

He would definitely choose Tiandi Pavilion without a second thought.

But now he hesitated.

Lin Lezhi opened the thing Liu Yunhe handed to him in front of everyone.

It was a piece of blood-stained cloth with some dirt on it and a lot of rough edges on the edges.

Qingchuan recognized it immediately and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the piece of cloth that was taken off Brother Feng Yuan's leg?"

Feng Yuan continued to talk under great nervousness, which diverted some of his attention from his legs.

But the blood-stained cloth in front of him once again brought back his painful memories.

He looked at the leg that could never be healed. The severe pain from the wound and the grief in his heart were intertwined, making it difficult for him to bear. His face was pale, and his expression was filled with endless sorrow.

"Brother Qingchuan has good eyesight, this is exactly the cloth."

Looking at the bloody cloth in Lin Lezhi's hand, combined with what he had just said, Cheng Su knew that what he had just said about Liu Yunhe going to the forest to relieve himself was a lie and was meant to fool him.

Dare to play tricks in front of him, Cheng Su's face immediately turned cold, he frowned and looked very unhappy, questioning: "Didn't he say that he just went to the forest to relieve himself?"

"I asked Yun He to go. I hope the general won't blame me. I didn't report it in advance because I didn't want to alert the enemy." Lin Lezhi clasped his fists and said solemnly and resolutely: "If I can't satisfy the general after solving this case, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunhe's eyes narrowed slightly.

After Lin Lezhi finished speaking, the air around them seemed to have dropped to freezing point, and no one dared to breathe.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Su snorted and said in a cold voice, "The injustice was caused by the smoke screen, hoping that you can find the real murderer. If you cannot solve the case, you will be ashamed of their trust in you, and you should bear the consequences."

But Liu Yunhe obviously couldn't hold back anymore. Although it was Lin Lezhi who asked him to go, he went willingly.

To be honest, he bears half of the responsibility, but how come all of it is taken by Lin Lezhi?

Liu Yunhe was dissatisfied and wanted to refute immediately. Xiao Yihuo, who was standing next to him, also saw what Liu Yunhe was thinking and secretly grabbed Liu Yunhe.

He gave Liu Yunhe a look, indicating that he believed Lin Lezhi could handle it properly.

"Thank you for your advice, General. I will not let down the innocent people's trust. I will find out the truth and give an explanation to all the innocent people."

Cheng Su did not pursue the matter for the time being. Lin Lezhi did not delay any longer and raised the blood-stained handkerchief in front of everyone and said, "This blood-stained cloth was originally tied to Feng Yuan's wound. Today, Qingchuan examined Feng Yuan's injury and said that his injury was under control and he had been treated with fire burning technique. Brother Qingchuan, am I right?"

"That's right." Qingchuan nodded.

After getting Qingchuan's response, Lin Lezhi looked at the cloth in his hand again, his eyes calm and he said, "This piece of cloth was obviously torn from clothes. Feng Yuan's clothes were torn and covered with mud because he crawled on the ground. Therefore, Feng Yuan's clothes cannot be used as bandages."

That night.

When he and Xiao Yihuo were near the Baigukeng, Xiao Yihuo took out a clean piece of cloth from his undershirt and helped him bandage the wound on his shoulder.

"Mr. Chang had already exchanged clothes with Xu Tian and put on a nightgown. The official uniform that Xu Tian wore was intact, so it couldn't be Mr. Chang. So the person who treated Feng Yuan must be someone else."

Lin Lezhi stared intently and said, "Whoever is missing a piece of cloth is the real mastermind behind this case."

After saying that, Lin Lezhi fixed his gaze on a certain place, then walked to a place in front of everyone and picked up something on the ground.

What Lin Lezhi picked up was nothing else.

It was the dirty clothes that Qiao Ying had taken off not long ago and folded neatly together. Lin Lezhi lifted up the outermost layer of clothes and found that a large piece was missing from the inner layer of the clothes.

Lin Lezhi put the blood-stained cloth in his hand on it.

The missing parts of the cloth and the clothes overlapped perfectly.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes suddenly narrowed, disbelief written all over their faces, and a chill ran down their spines.

The most frightened among them was Feng Yuan, who had lost a leg. He stared at Qiao Ying squatting on the ground with wide eyes, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Lezhi held up the clothes in his hand and said, "Just think about it, a person who doesn't know the five senses actually knows how to stop bleeding with fire, and even knows how to bandage it with his cleanest layer of clothes."

"Of course, it could also be said that someone else framed Qiao Ying to clear himself of suspicion, so he borrowed Qiao Ying's clothes to bandage Feng Yuan."

Lin Lezhi suddenly refuted his own words and set a trap for himself. Cheng Su didn't understand and his already frowned brows tightened even more.

But the next second, Lin Lezhi turned around and said affirmatively: "But this is not true. The person who bandaged Feng Yuan was Qiao Ying."

Before this, Lin Lezhi asked Qiao Ying to change her clothes because he wanted to verify something, but for something else. The missing part of the clothes was an unexpected gain.

“How come you see?”

Cheng Su said, suppressing his displeasure.

"The injuries on Qiao Ying's body."

Once you say this, it's no different from just going around in circles.

It has been said before that the injuries on Qiao Ying's body cannot be considered as evidence, which undoubtedly further consumed Cheng Su's already limited patience.

Seeing Cheng Su's displeasure, Lin Lezhi couldn't help but panic, and said with a little cold sweat: "This injury is not that injury. The clothes I'm talking about are the clothes that Qiao Ying wore."

The words fell.

Others didn't notice anything, but after Luo Zhifeng took a look at the clothes in Lin Lezhi's hand, he seemed to understand something immediately. He turned to look at Qiao Ying, his eyes darkened, and his gaze was full of complexity.

Lin Lezhi noticed the emotion in Luo Zhifeng's eyes, then looked at everyone and slowly stated: "Qiao Ying has been different from ordinary people since he appeared in Pinghai Town. Not to mention him, even the beggars on the street often hurt themselves all over. But Qiao Ying has no other old scars except for the new ones. Did Uncle Wu take too good care of Qiao Ying?"

"But Mr. Wu went out to look for the Three Souls Grass and didn't come back for two months. He entrusted Qiao Ying to the care of Village Chief Wang's family. Judging from the fact that Qiao Ying can appear in various places in the town, Village Chief Wang's family did provide Qiao Ying with a place to stay and took good care of him, but they did not restrict him from moving around, and they would not go out of their way to look for him if he didn't return home. Even so, he didn't have any external injuries at all."

Lin Lezhi lowered his eyes and said, "Unless, he is not stupid at all. How could a person who is not stupid hurt himself so often? Of course, except when he wants to cover up the truth."

As he spoke, Lin Lezhi looked at the clothes in his hand and said, "Look at this piece of clothing. If the wound on his body was really caused by an accident in the forest, then the flesh would have been injured. But there is not even a scratch on the clothes. It is just a little dirty. Isn't that too strange?"

"Unless..." His eyes darkened a little more, and he looked at Qiao Ying and said, "When he was scratched, he was wearing clothes that must be destroyed. They belonged to Guan Ziheng."

He gave Guan Ziheng's clothes to Qiao Ying to wear, just to see if he had any other injuries on his body besides his arms and hands.

Coming down from such a high cliff along the vines, one would have scars all over the body. However, Qiao Ying had wounds on her arms but her body was just dirty. It was really strange.

After a short pause, he continued, "He appeared in front of us. The reason why he was in the lake was to destroy the evidence."

"What evidence?" Cheng Su asked.

"Destroy the evidence that he carried Feng Yuan on his back. Feng Yuan crawled on the ground, and his chest was covered with mud. If he carried Feng Yuan on his back, his back must have been covered with mud, just like Yun He's back."

When Liu Yunhe carried Feng Yuan on his back, he was inevitably rubbed against.

After hearing what Lin Lezhi said, Liu Yunhe patted his back as if he had realized something belatedly. As he patted, some dust fell off.

At that time, his attention was all on Lin Lezhi, and he actually forgot about this matter.

Not long ago, Lin Lezhi said that something was stuck on his body, but he couldn't remember what it was, so he hurried back to the woods to find cloth for Lin Lezhi.

However, he was not the kind of person who cared about these details. If it was dirty, it was dirty.

Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lin Lezhi looked at Feng Yuan who was sitting on the ground and said, "Feng Yuan said that he saw us when he woke up. Three days have passed in a row and he has not woken up in the middle of the night. This means that he has been drugged and has been in a deep sleep."

Lin Lezhi turned to look at everyone and continued, "So many strange things have happened on the island, and Ziheng is under suspicion, so I didn't want to sleep last night. I kept thinking about the case, but in the end I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. There is only one possibility, something was put in the bowl of medicine handed to me."

He paused for a moment and recalled, "Just like the night of the Lantern Festival, after returning to my room and drinking the bowl of medicine that Ziheng left on the table, I, a light sleeper who is afraid of heat, didn't wake up until I heard the night watchman's call at 3:00 pm when we slept in the same bed. It was really strange. I think he did this because he was afraid that I would wake up and his plan would fail."

"As for the voice, Qiao Ying has always been pretending to be crazy and stupid, and has never shown her real voice to anyone." Lin Lezhi's eyes fell on Qiao Ying, and he said with his eyes narrowed: "Am I right, Qiao Ying?"

After Lin Lezhi's question, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Qiao Ying, and their hearts somehow tightened.

But Qiao Ying did not respond.

This undoubtedly made everyone's hearts feel like they were placed on charcoal fire, and both sides were suffering.

When Luo Zhifeng wanted to go forward and say something, Qiao Ying suddenly turned around holding the lantern, looked at Lin Lezhi and said calmly: "Don't worry, Jiang Guitan, Master Guan is fine."

Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Qiao Ying lowered her eyes with sadness in her eyes and said in a desolate tone: "As for the plan mentioned by Detective Jiang, it has already failed."
