Fang Yeyu said, "It's one thing for your Western Xia's Class One Hall to investigate the case as a neutral third party, but you asked a Song person to investigate with you. Isn't that bad?"
"That's right. Who knows if he's the murderer or not." Prince Zongzan of Tubo said.
Yelu Nanxian said coldly, "This is Western Xia's territory. Naturally, we have the final say. As long as Goryeo has no objections, there's no need for anyone else to interrupt." She looked at Goryeo's people.
Jin Ruoxian and the Fu sisters gathered together and discussed in a low voice. Jin Renjun was only a retainer of the Cui family and had no right to enter the decision-making circle.
"Ladies, what do you think?"
"Great Song and Goryeo have always been on good terms. Logically, they have no motive to harm Cui Shi. I think there's no problem."
"I feel that there's a big conspiracy against Goryeo. It's good to investigate it. But according to our intelligence, that Jia Baoyu is only a playboy. Does he really have the ability to investigate it? "
"I've heard of that Song Ci. It seems that his' Record of Redress' has also spread to Goryeo. He is indeed an expert in this field."
…
They discussed for a while and Jin Ruoxian said, "We have no objections. We trust the Crown Princess' judgment."
Fang Yeyu, who was not far away, snorted coldly, "Stubborn. Let's see what you can find." Then he flicked his sleeves and left.
The people from other countries saw that there was nothing to see, so they also left.
"Thank you, Crown Princess, for helping us out." Nalan Rongruo also thanked Yelu Nanxian with the Dark Cloud Pearl. After exchanging greetings, they went straight back to their rooms and closed the door. They didn't talk to Goryeo anymore. Obviously, they had been disgusted by them for the past two days.
Fu Junyi looked worried. Not only did they gain nothing from this trip to the Central Plains, but they also lost Cui Shi and offended their neighbor, the Manchurian Qing. How was she going to face her master and the court officials when she returned?
Yelu Nanxian looked at Song Qingshu and asked, "What should we do next?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had thought Yelu Nanxian was just casually adding Jia Baoyu to the investigation team, why did it sound like Jia Baoyu was the leader of the investigation team?
Song Qingshu's scalp went numb. Even if you want to make me proud, this is not the time. It will easily arouse unnecessary suspicion. He hurriedly coughed to cover up the awkwardness in his heart. "Let's go take a look at the scene first."
Yelu Nanxian looked at the people from Goryeo and saw them nodding their heads in agreement. With a wave of her hand, she called for a group of people to hurry over to the Gaoli Guesthouse.
The yellow-robed woman moved closer to Xue Baochai and gently touched her shoulder. She whispered, "Your childhood sweetheart hasn't been hiding her abilities all these years, has she?"
Xue Baochai was also confused. "I don't know either."
"Let's go take a look?" The yellow-robed woman grew curious.
"Okay." The doubts in Xue Baochai's heart grew stronger.
A group of people quickly arrived at Choi Shi's room in the Korean Embassy. Naturally, Choi Shi could not still be hanging on the beam. Now, he had been placed in a coffin and was waiting to be transported back to Korea. The Starting Point
Fu Junyi explained from the side, "You said it was a homicide, but the problem is that we checked the room before. The door and windows were tightly shut, and there were no signs of external force opening the door. That's why we think Young Master Choi committed suicide because he couldn't bear the humiliation."
"Murder in a secret room?" Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. This kind of thing was common in movies and dramas, but it was the first time he saw it in this world. After all, there were all kinds of mysterious martial arts here, there was no need to do anything unnecessary. He could just kill the person and leave without anyone finding anything.
However, noticing the suspicious gazes of the Goryeo people, Song Qingshu decided to dispel their doubts first, to avoid any more trouble later.
"It's not difficult to build a secret room. There are many martial arts in the martial arts world that allow for telekinesis, such as the Dragon Capturing Skill, the Crane Controlling Skill, and so on. After killing the person, build the scene, walk out of the room, and lock the door from the outside." Song Qingshu was clear that with his martial arts, it would be a piece of cake to do this.
The yellow-robed woman quietly asked Xue Baochai, "How did he know so much about the martial arts of the martial arts world?"
Xue Baochai shook her head, her eyes became more and more confused.
Yelu Nanxian's eyes lit up, "There is someone in the Xingqing Prefecture who is an expert in the Crane Controlling Skill, and that is the Tufan Imperial Advisor, Jiu Mozhi." She originally knew that Xiao Feng was also an expert in the Dragon Capturing Skill, but as they were both from Liao, she naturally didn't want to put any suspicion on him, not to mention that Xiao Feng didn't come this time.
Fu Junyu immediately denied this speculation, "Impossible, when the Dark Cloud Pearl was rescued, we immediately sent people to guard the house. Unless Jiu Mozhi's martial arts had reached the level of a Grandmaster, there was no way he could hide from the eyes of so many guards."
Song QingShu fell into deep thought. Jiu Mozhi indeed had no motive, and he couldn't do it either. If he wanted to enter the house and kill Cui Shi under the watchful eyes of so many guards, he was afraid that only a great grandmaster could do it. Moreover, great grandmasters had their own specialties. Not all great grandmasters could do all this.
But no one would think that it was a Grandmaster who did it, because a mere Cui Shi didn't have the qualifications to trouble a Grandmaster.
"There are actually other ways to do all this without relying on force," Song Qingshu recalled the various methods he had seen in his previous life, "For example, the door might not really be locked, and the first person to push the door deliberately pretended to be unable to open it."
"Impossible!" Fu Junyu directly denied, "At that time, my sister and I came to investigate together, and we pushed the door together, unless you think that the two of us colluded."
Song Qingshu glanced at them and smiled slightly, "I'm only providing a possibility, I'm not suspecting you. There are many other possibilities, for example, these doors and windows were actually tampered with, so that they look undamaged, but in reality, the nails and chisels inside have been sawed off, and the whole thing could be pushed down with force. "
Jin Ruoxian frowned, and signaled his subordinates to immediately check.
Song Qingshu continued, "Or the murderer didn't leave the room at all, but hid behind the door, waiting for you to come in, then mixed into your group and left without anyone knowing."
"How is that possible, the murderer can mix into our group without being discovered, does he think that we are all blind?" Jin Renjun, the henchman of the Cui family, sneered.
Song Qingshu's expression became solemn, "Then what if the murderer is someone from within your diplomatic mission? The clothes, appearance, and so on would not be out of place, and in addition, after you entered the door, you would definitely be shocked by Cui Shi's strange death, and your attention would be attracted, not paying attention to your own people behind the door. "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people of Goryeo changed, and Jin Ruoxian also said with an unfriendly expression, "You mean that the murderer is someone from within our diplomatic mission?"
Song Qingshu nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility."
Next, they began to check the alibis of everyone in the guesthouse last night, and found that other than the guards who often moved in groups, there were only a few people without alibis: the Crown Prince of Goryeo, General Jin Ruoxian, henchman Jin Renjun, and the Fu sisters!
The yellow-dressed woman whispered to Xue Baochai, "This guy doesn't seem to be such an idiot, he actually has some temperament when handling the case."
