Chapter 898

Ji Yunshu stood up and walked in front of him. "During the autopsy, I found a scalded mark on the back of Zhao Zhiwen's hand, which seemed to be hurt by hot iron, so I thought there must be some hot iron in the place where he was killed at that time, and his tentacles could be touched. I asked Zi Ran to look up and down in Brunei Pavilion. Sure enough, I found that place, behind the kitchen in Brunei Pavilion, where there was a big mouth The iron pot is usually specially used to warm food, so the temperature of the iron pot is very high. As expected, some blood stains were found on the surrounding ground. As long as it is tested, it can be determined that it is Zhao Zhi

Wen's blood shows that he was killed in Brunei Pavilion. "

Someone asked, "was he killed when he came back from the outside?" "Impossible!" Ji Yunshu denied, "that night, a watchman took a long rest near the back door of Brunei Pavilion because he was too tired. He didn't leave until Xu Shi. During that period, he didn't see anyone coming out of it, and even the people crossing the street didn't see Zhao Zhiwen

, plus the location of his death, the only explanation... Is that he didn't go out at all that night. "

Uh?

She looked at Liu Zhinan and continued, "you said you were obviously lying when you saw Zhao Zhiwen leave the Brunei Pavilion at Xu Xu."

Um?

Liu Zhinan was stunned and flustered, "I... no, I did see him go out with my own eyes. Maybe the watchman remembered the wrong time or read it wrong. After all, it was late at that time. The watchman couldn't keep staring at the door?" Liu Zhinan is unreasonable.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "you killed someone and now you don't admit it?"

"Lord Ji, you keep saying that Zhao Zhiwen was killed by me. Can you just say that I lied?" "Of course not." Ji Yunshu approached him and said coldly and affectionately, "although you follow the gourd painting ladle, learn the murderer's way of killing Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang, peel off Zhao Zhiwen's face, and then put on a mask for him. You think it's seamless and you won't doubt you, but it is

Because your appearance is too perfect, you ignore many of the details, which makes you full of mistakes. "

extremely elegant and valuable!

At this time, the Minister of punishment came down from the high hall and Hou stood aside.

Liu Zhinan stared at Ji Yunshu's words and turned pale. He was no longer calm. He said excitedly, "in short... I didn't kill. I didn't kill Zhao Zhiwen. It has nothing to do with me." "I haven't finished, you don't have to rush to deny!" Ji Yunshu's voice was light and heavy. "Let me tell you where your mistakes and omissions are! First, from the perspective of the murderer's peeling of people's faces, hibiscus's killing method is to peel people's faces only, but Zhao Zhiwen's face is peeled from behind his ears, which is why

One is the difference, the other is... The masks. "

As soon as she finished, Jing Rong gave Lang Bo a sign.

In a moment, Lang Po took out the three masks.

Cow ghost.

Horse ghost.

Snake ghost.

Some of the snake ghost and cow ghost masks were spent because they had crossed the water.

When he saw those masks, Liu Zhinan took a small step back, and a trace of guilt flashed through his eyes.

All his expressions were secretly closed by Ji Yunshu. She pointed to the three masks and said, "these three masks don't seem strange, but the snake ghost mask on Zhao Zhiwen's face is different from the other two."

dissimilarity?

What's different?

Everyone in the court looked at the three masks. There was no difference except an ox, a horse and a snake!

The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment asked, "Lord Ji, is there any difference in this mask?"

"Of course!" She said, "that's the pigment used in the painting tools. In ancient times, the pigment most commonly used in painting masks was mineral. In very few places, the color extracted from plants would be used, and the two different pigments would show different phenomena after being stained with water."

Huh?

The crowd waited quietly.

She picked up the cow ghost and horse ghost mask and showed it to Liu Zhinan. "These are the two masks worn on Jiao Shiniang's and Xing Xiyang's faces. After the two masks are stained with water, the paint on them will form a lot of fine particles after blooming, but..." she picked up the snake ghost mask again, "This is the mask worn on Zhao Zhiwen's face. After the mask touches the water, the paint on it is very viscous and has no fine particles. That's because the paint used on the cow ghost and horse ghost masks is extracted from plants, while the paint used on the snake ghost mask is extracted from minerals. This kind of Yin ghost mask comes from the hands of the herdsmen in the far north, and they all use the paint

Derived from plants, not minerals, these are enough to prove that the murderers who killed Zhao Zhiwen and Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang are two people. Therefore, I sent someone to ask one by one in the major mask shops in the capital. As a result, I found the answer I wanted in a mask shop in the north of the city. The owner of the mask shop has admitted that a man wearing a hat asked him to draw a ghost mask that night, and then gave him a sum of silver

Son, don't let him talk about it, but some people will still be afraid of the sword in their throat. "

Liu Zhinan hums and smiles, "what does this mean? Can we conclude that I am the one who made the mask? I am also the one who killed Zhao Zhiwen?"

Ridiculous.

At this time——

A voice came from the door, "go in."

When he saw Shi Ziran dragging a man in, the man shrank.

When he saw the man, Liu Zhinan was completely flustered.

"Lord Ji, people have brought it." Shi Ziran said.

When the man saw so many officers present, he trembled all over. He knelt down and cried out, "master Qingtian, you can't break the law."

Ji Yunshu directly asked him, "come and have a look. Is the person who asked you to draw the ghost mask here that day?" "Yes." The man raised his head, looked for it in the lobby, and finally fell on Liu Zhinan. He pointed, "it's him. The person who came to me to draw the mask that night is him. He gave me a sum of silver. I'm not allowed to tell anyone, master Qingtian. It's really not small

Do bad things. "

"Don't talk about it." Liu Zhinan yelled.

"I... As like as two peas, I didn't tell a lie, and I didn't see the same thing. I wore a bamboo hat that day, but I saw people looking at it for most of their lives. I can't remember your height and shape. And your voice is the same. The person who asked me to mask is indeed you." Very determined.

"You..." Liu Zhinan was stuck in his throat and sweating. Ji Yunshu glanced at his feet and said, "there was a circle of algae around the abandoned pond at that time, one of which was called black linen clothes. If you encounter it
