Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

In Wu Chengsi's judgment.

The deaths of everyone in the Xue Mansion definitely occurred after Li Cunxi left.

Why were they secretly killed? Probably because Xue Aocao told Li Cunxi about Di Huaiying's assassination.

"First, we can make this assumption. The death of everyone in Xue Mansion was because Xue Aocao told you that it was Wang Zhiyuan who first told him that Di Huaiying might be assassinated by thieves in the crimson tent."

Wu Chengsi took out a pen and wrote down the names of Wang Zhiyuan, Xue Aocao, Li Cunxi and Di Renjie on a blank piece of paper.

"But then there is another problem. I am also an insider of this matter, and I also sent Hongyan to Jiangzhang County to secretly follow Di Renjie in order to protect Di Renjie's safety."

"I'm the executor, why don't they come and kill me?"

Li Cunxi rolled his eyes.

"Kill you? Are you kidding? The servants in your house and the eight masters combined can resist His Majesty's imperial guards for a short time."

Wu Chengsi nodded. This was indeed true. Although the Left and Right Yulin Guards were regular troops, they lacked super masters.

If it were an ordinary martial arts world, it would be easy to say, but in the world view of Detective Di Renjie, a first-class master already has the super power to kill nearly a hundred soldiers who are holding standard weapons and proficient in battle formations by himself.

As for the top-notch masters, there are two of them displayed in the Prince Wei’s Palace now.

Li Cunxi couldn't be sure about the strength of the King of Wei's guards who delivered the letter to him in Youzhou, but at least they were not worse than Hong Yan.

"Okay, let's continue reasoning. The number of this group of thieves must be quite large, so they can easily kill all the people in the Xue Mansion. Where did this group of people come from, and whose subordinates are they? If we think about this, I think we can substitute our recent court situation to make a judgment."

Wu Chengsi tapped his chin.

"During the turbulent time in the court, one night before you were about to attend the court meeting, you met with Xue Aocao, and then he died. Before he died, he told you this news..."

Li Cunxi stroked his chin and decided to provide a clue.

"By the way, Master, do you still remember the human skin mask thrown on the ground at the crime scene?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"I remember the face of the human skin mask. That face belonged to the concierge who received me at the time. He was the one who informed Xue Aocao that I was here. Then I met Xue Aocao and learned about Wang Zhiyuan."

"So, the dead concierge was not the one who received you, but another person wearing a human skin mask?"

"Yes." Li Cunxi nodded.

Wu Chengsi took a sip of tea, turned to the map calmly, and said lightly: "If this is the case, then we can rule out one option... I can conclude that the Xue Aocao you saw that day was definitely a fake Xue Aocao. The real Xue Aocao may have been replaced a few months ago."

"how do I say this?"

"Because the court has been strange in recent months, His Majesty has not favored Xue Aocao for a long time. It has always been the Zhang brothers who have lived in the palace and accompanied His Majesty, so... Xue Aocao may have been secretly replaced long before the Youzhou case."

"I wipe..."

Li Cunxi held his forehead with one hand, feeling dizzy.

It seems his brain is running out of steam.

A group of people replaced Xue Aocao in advance and pretended to be Xue Aocao to send news to Wu Chengsi. The news was real, but the source must be fake. After all, Wang Zhiyuan and She Ling had never had any relationship, and that guy was still thinking about creating a new world with Princess Taiping.

This group of people were obviously not from the Snake Spirit. Although the Snake Spirit was not as harmonious as it seemed from the outside, the freaks among them had Xiao Qingfang suppressing them.

At this stage, Xiao Qingfang is not stupid enough to formulate such a stupid plan that will send his teammates to their deaths.

"So who is this person behind this? Why did he replace Xue Aocao with the one who passed on the message?"

Li Cunxi stood up and paced in the study with a frown on his face.

"Can't figure it out?" Wu Chengsi asked, holding his chin.

"Yes."

"It's better to think about it from another angle. Who will benefit the most from Xue Aocao's death?"

Shaking his head, Li Cunxi said helplessly: "This... I really don't know."

After all, there were quite a few civil and military officials in the court who hated Xue Aocao.

Although Li Cunxi had just entered the court, he knew that even Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi would benefit from Xue Aocao's death.

The brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi certainly could not be members of the Snake Spirit, nor could they know the internal situation of the Snake Spirit, let alone the plans of the Snake Spirit.

"Think about it, if we only investigate the Xue Mansion Massacre, it will definitely be an unsolved case and will eventually be shelved. But if we substitute other backgrounds, maybe we will find an answer." Wu Chengsi stroked his short beard and began to think.

"Master, what you said is absolutely right!"

Li Cunxi sat down again, and his mind flashed back to the Youzhou case. If Di Renjie had not died, who would have benefited the most?

But, after thinking about it, it seems that... Wu Chengsi in front of me seems to have benefited the most.

However, there was no need for Wu Chengsi to kill Xue Aocao, nor was there any need to make up these stories to deceive himself. In the end, Wu Chengsi himself had to come out to investigate the cause of Xue Aocao's death.

After thinking for a long time, Li Cunxi picked up a pen and wrote down a few names on the paper.

"Li Lingyue, Li Dan, Li Xian." Wu Chengsi read, "It's basically the same as what I thought. If Di Huaiying doesn't die, they will definitely benefit the most, because Di Huaiying will do everything he can to protect them, the royal family members, not to mention that Li Xian and Li Dan were once emperors."

Li Cunxi leaned forward and asked, "By the way, Master, when Xue Aocao found you that day, did he tell you that the news that your uncle might be killed was from what Wang Zhiyuan told you?"

"That's not the case. I just told you that Di Huaiying might be in danger, so it was only natural for me to rescue him... In the end, it's all for you. You're the only heir of the Li family with a good background that I'm interested in. Joining forces is the best way to resolve the feud between our two families."

"Master is so frank. Actually, you don't have to tell me these. What I want to say is that Master has been very kind to me. If Cunxi gains power in the future, the grudges between the Wu and Li families will be written off...except for King Liang."

"That couldn't be better." Wu Chengsi raised his teacup and couldn't help laughing.

Li Cunxi also raised his glass, but something else came to his mind.

If Xue Aocao was replaced from the beginning, then who knew the secret of the snake spirit, revealed it to Wu Chengsi, and finally reminded Li Cunxi that it was Wang Zhiyuan who told him the news, and then waited until the task was accomplished to kill Xue Aocao?

This person is so bored that he has nothing to do.
