Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team
Chapter 163 Analysis of the case, Xue Aocao's future
Facing Xue Aocao, the savior of the Li clan, Li Cunxi shook his head.
He knew what Xue Aocao looked like, and it was not this face.
If this person is really the replaced Xue Aocao, then he must have come here wearing a human skin mask.
"Take off the human skin mask on your face and let me see if you are Mr. Xue Aocao." Li Cunxi pointed at Xue Aocao from a distance.
"Okay." Xue Aocao smiled gently, then reached out and took off the human skin mask on his face.
The face revealed under the human skin mask was indeed Xue Aocao, the owner of the Xue Mansion whom Li Cunxi had seen two days ago.
"Why are you and Xuguzi acting together?" Li Cunxi asked again.
"The child has no mother. It's a long story..." Xue Aocao looked back at Xuguzi who had been kicked out of the darkness, "Tell the guard to stop."
Xuguzi rolled on the ground for seven or eight times, gasping for breath. Ma Rong walked out of the darkness, holding a single knife and a murderous look on his face.
After all, he was a man who grew up fighting with swords and guns, so it was easy for Ma Rong to deal with a little old man using a dagger.
Seeing that Ma Rong was still not satisfied and wanted to fight with Xuguzi, Xuguzi got scared and said quickly:
"Master Li, save me."
Li Cunxi smiled slightly and said, "Ma Rong, that's enough."
After receiving the order, Ma Rong put away his knife and looked at Xuguzi, who had just gotten up with great difficulty, with an unhappy face.
He had used all his strength to kick Xuguzi in the dark just now. If an ordinary person had been kicked by that kick, he would have been crippled if not killed. However, Xuguzi was only unable to stand after being kicked and recovered quickly.
This old Taoist's physical fitness is also unique.
"Old Taoist Shouyangshan Xuguzi, I pay my respects to Master Li Zezhou!"
After standing firmly, Xuguzi put away his whisk and bowed to Li Cunxi.
"I have known the Taoist priest's name for a long time. Isn't the national teacher Wang Zhiyuan one of his followers?"
Li Cunxi pointed to the two seats opposite him, glanced at Xue Aocao and Xuguzi standing there, and said:
"Please take a seat. You two came here so late at night, and you came together. I think my doubts should be solved. You will answer my questions, right?"
Xue Aocao, who sat down in the pavilion, nodded and then said:
"I came here to ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully and not lie to me."
Li Cunxi spread his hands and motioned Xue Aocao to ask questions.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Aocao asked seriously:
"The Youzhou case happened only a few days ago. Did you, Lord Li, send someone to deliver the news to me outside my room late at night?"
Li Cunxi knew what Xue Aocao was asking, but he pretended not to understand and asked back:
"what news?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Xue Aocao's face.
According to his guess, the person who specifically informed him of the news outside his room that night should be Li Cunxi.
After all, Li Cunxi asked him to save Di Renjie, so Li Cunxi's own life was more guaranteed.
Judging from what happened afterwards, Li Cunxi benefited the most from Di Renjie's survival.
After calming down, Xue Aocao asked again:
"I have another question. I told the King of Wei that after Di Gong was assassinated, the man who broke into my house late at night and imprisoned my entire family and killed my entire family two days ago was one of your men?"
"You protect the heir of the Li family, and I am the heir of the Li family. It is beneficial for me if you live. Why should I kill you?" Li Cunxi asked back, holding his chin.
"Because this is beneficial to you. If someone finds clues through the rescue that night and traces it back to the King of Wei, and then traces it back to me, and then thinks about who benefited the most during the period after the Youzhou case, they might trace it back to you."
"I don't deny that, judging from the current situation, I am indeed the one who has benefited the most, and I didn't feel any doubt when I saw the two of you coming together. But I still want to say that your whole family was not killed by me, and this is the first time I see you in person." Li Cunxi said softly.
"Why should I believe you?" Xue Aocao's eyes were as sharp as torches.
"Just because I'm the heir of the Li family." Li Cunxi said confidently, "But you did give me some ideas. Since your whole family was killed for profit, then who can kill you for the most benefit? I think that person is the most likely murderer."
"What do you mean?" Xue Aocao frowned, "I am here to protect the heir of the Li family and the throne of the crown prince, so my enemies must be the Wu family and those who covet the throne of the crown prince."
Li Cunxi stood up with his hands behind his back, walked out of the pavilion, and while pacing, he listed candidates to Xue Aocao.
"First of all, I want to say that the suspicion of the King of Liang is not small. Not only is he a member of the Wu family, but he also has his eyes on the position of Crown Prince... Of course, that was before this incident. I did not participate in today's court meeting, but the news that His Majesty has granted marriage to the Crown Prince's son and the King of Liang's daughter has reached me."
"The second person who is more suspicious is Xuguzi's master, the one who looks most like your Majesty's child, Princess Taiping. This one is very ambitious. As for how ambitious she is, Xuguzi, you should know better than me. I know exactly what the Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun and the Imperial Master Wang Zhiyuan are doing. Don't get into my hands, otherwise... I advise you to be a little more obedient and don't get caught by me."
Li Cunxi sneered twice.
Xuguzi, who was sitting on the stone bench, shuddered.
Few people knew about Princess Taiping's conspiracy, so how did Li Cunxi know about the plan?
"The third suspect is the brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi. You might as well think about it. The reason why His Majesty has not figured out that you were switched in the past three months is because you have not entered the palace at all in the past few months, right?"
Li Cunxi returned to the pavilion and sat down, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
He didn't dare to conclude that one of the people he mentioned was the murderer of Xue Aocao's family, but he must be related to some of these people.
The suspicions of these people were so great that Li Cunxi didn't dare to imagine whether these people could be innocent.
"I, Xue Aocao, have always been an upright person, but I never expected something like this to happen. Fortunately, I managed to escape, but my brother Nan Ze feels sorry for me."
Xue Aocao looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time, staring at Li Cunxi intently:
"Can I ask you a favor?"
Li Cunxi blinked his eyes: "What's the matter?"
"Get to the bottom of this for me. I must know what's going on!"
"I can't guarantee that I will be able to find it out, but I promise that I will do my best to find it out."
"Thank you, Li Zezhou. Chang'an is a dangerous place after all. I will sneak away tomorrow and go to Shouyang Mountain to practice in Shouyang Mountain."
"I won't see you off, gentlemen."
Xuguzi on the side said quickly: "He wants to leave, but I don't plan to leave."
