Li Ling had a calm face and asked someone to carefully inspect the body of the deceased, and then asked: "Can Shiwang's body be here?" If what they said was true, then this guy was the key.

As a result, several jailers shook their heads: "The body under Shi Du is still in the room, and we dare not move."

"Huh?" Li Ling looked at them strangely, then signaled to ask someone to lead the way and headed straight to the residence of Shi Wang's prison city. As soon as he reached the door, Li Ling saw the body hanging on the beam of the house. He was not poisoned and died of poisoning like others, but hanged himself.

Li Ling's brows quickly frowned and called Yang Zhen and the two subordinates of the Imperial City Division beside him: "You check carefully to see if he committed suicide."

"Yes!" Several people quickly agreed, stepped forward to investigate first, then skillfully removed the body for further inspection. During this period, Li Ling also walked around this slightly cramped room, checking various objects in the room. Except for some daily necessities, he did not find any suspicious things. Not to mention any poison, he did not even find half a medicine bottle.

Just as Li Ling realized that the matter was suspicious, Yang Zhen had already brought people to serve: "Sir, we have checked the body, and it really seemed like he died of hanging from a beam. Moreover, there was no external injury on his body. He was not knocked out or was hanged up after being knocked out."

Li Ling nodded: "Can you find out the approximate time of his death?"

"It should be shortly after dark, and it is no more than two hours away."

"When did those guys in the prison get poisoned?"

Yang Zhen and the others naturally couldn't answer this, so they waved to a prison guard. The man kowtowed to Li Ling tremblingly, and then said tremblingly: "One... an hour ago, the young men discovered that they had something wrong. As for the poisoning, it should be because they ate the poisoned food after nightfall. Because Shi Duguan has taken care of them these days, so... the young men didn't check it much, and asked the lord to spare their lives..."

Li Ling ignored his words of expelling himself from mercy, but said strangely: "That is to say, they were poisoned only after nightfall, and then during this period, Shi Wang committed suicide for fear of guilt!"

"That's it... that's it." The man who didn't know if Li Ling was talking to him subconsciously replied. Then he saw Li Ling snorting: "Is this really reasonable?"

The prison guard naturally did not dare to speak anymore. However, Yang Zhen, after being stunned, hesitated: "What do you mean is he dying strangely?"

"I committed suicide by fear of sin is just a statement we have drawn based on the results, but is it true? If you were him, as the secret son of Luo Tian Sect here, after being ordered to kill Hu Wenze and others to silence them all and have completed the task, what would be the first choice?" Li Ling asked immediately.

Yang Zhen was still a little hesitant, and Li Moyun had already answered quickly: "Of course, I should get out of here while it's okay. After all, those people were poisoned to death for a long time, and even if they really died, they might hide the eyes and ears of many people at night. It was not until tomorrow that something was discovered. Even if they were guilty, they should think about escaping first, rather than dying!"

"That's the reason, but he simply committed suicide, as if he knew he would be found soon and knew that he could not escape. This was obviously not in line with human nature, and it was not the choice that Luo Tian Sect secretaries should make!" Li Ling's suspicion in his eyes was even more serious, "By the way, where is his family?"

"Shi Duguan lost his parents one after another in his early years. His wife died of illness two years ago and failed to give birth to a son and half of his daughter. So now he is single..." The prisonman replied subconsciously, and then he saw Li Ling's expression move again: "This is another problem. If the Luo Tian Sect deliberately arranged someone, it would always cover him up, instead of making people suspicious as it is now. Is it possible for an adult man who is careless to pay attention to the yamen?"

The prison guard was not good at making a sound this time, so he could only bow his head. Li Ling did not mean to ask him to analyze it for him, and quickly ordered: "You, let me lead the way and let my official's people go to Shi Wang's house to check the truth. By the way, what hobbies do he have on weekdays?"

"Shi Du cares that he is a little greedy, and because he is alone, he always goes to brothels to spend the night, so he is always a little short of money..." After answering, he took several guards out of the prison, and went to Shi Wang's residence not far away to search carefully.

However, Li Ling did not expect too much from there, but then carefully searched for the things in the house and said, "Have you noticed that there is a little missing here?"

"What?" Yang Zhen said in confusion.

"Wine, since he is a greedy person, how could there be no wine around him? Moreover, he is the leader in this prison. It is impossible for him to not even bring in wine because of any concerns. Now that others are dead, where is the wine?" Li Ling said, becoming more and more convinced that his death was a big problem, and it was definitely not as simple as suicide as it seemed.

There is another point that Li Ling didn't say, but it was what he cared about the most. Since he had already made plans to commit suicide for fear of guilt, Shi Wang was a wealthy family who used medicine to kill poison, then he could also take poison and commit suicide. Why do you have to hang yourself in one go?

Coupled with the traces of poison that were not around him, Li Ling had reason to believe that he was just bribed, and was used to poison and kill all the big families without knowing it. Then he was silenced by the people behind him, using his death to cover up the truth, and he gave up and continued to investigate.

Thinking of this, Li Ling had another question in his mind, is it really that simple? The real murderer, the secret son of Luo Tian Sect, really just took advantage of Shi Wang's greed for money and then silenced him together?

No, there is something here that cannot be explained, what is the problem?

After thinking about it, Li Ling still felt something was wrong. He immediately paced in the room and thought about it carefully. It felt so uncomfortable that it seemed that he was about to get in touch with the truth, but was separated by a layer of paper...

After seeing Li Ling's behavior like this, Li Moyun and others who were familiar with him were used to keeping quiet, leaving only one person beside him, and the others temporarily retreated outside the room without any disturbance.

"Where is the key point of breaking the deadlock? What is the key that I overlooked?" Li Ling's pace became faster and faster, and his mind also moved faster and faster. But no matter how he thought about it, he just couldn't grasp the vague key.

"Since my thinking is blocked, let's go over it carefully from the beginning!" Li Ling thought of some experience in solving the problem, so he decisively let go of all these first, and thought about the beginning of this sudden case again. "I decided to investigate the whereabouts of Luo Tian Sect through Hu Wenze and others, and then it came that they were all poisoned... No, it's not how they knew I would find Hu Wenze and others and take action early. After all, they had already taken over me. It's reasonable to be questioned when they were interrogated and finally got it. The question is, why is Luo Tian Sect so eager to kill them to silence them?

"Even though Hu Wenze and others really have something to do with the Luotian Sect, they are just a mutual use relationship. Without any in-depth cooperation, how much information about the Luotian Sect can they take the risk of silence? This is another unreasonable place. Just like rushing to silence Shi Wang, it is a bit strange..."

Thinking of this, Li Ling's steps suddenly stopped, his frowning brows slowly loosened, and a smile finally came to the corner of his mouth: "I've caught the flaw!"

Li Moyun, who had been paying attention to Li Ling's movements, saw this and took a step forward and whispered: "Young Master, have you thought of something?"

"Eighty-mostly there are people planning all this behind their backs. This person is the real secret son of the Luotian Sect in the Wuchang government! If I expected it, he is the key to making these wealthy families willing to cooperate with the Luotian Sect. Because of his identity, they are willing to believe that they can cooperate with the Luotian Sect. But for this reason, when they are taken and about to be interrogated by me, he will be anxious to silence everyone! Because as long as one person admits, he will be exposed to me.

"By the same reason, after poisoning them with Shi Wang's hand, he also got rid of him to silence him. Although I still don't know how Shi Wang was designed to commit suicide by hanging himself, the murder here must be his work."

"But young master, this place is a prison city after all, and ordinary people cannot easily come in even officials. How did he do this?"

"So this person's identity is about to emerge. He must be qualified to enter and exit the prison at will without being suspected. At the same time, he can also have officials who have daily contacts with wealthy families such as Hu Wenze."

Li Ling's statement reduced the suspect target to the smallest. In the entire Wuchang City, in addition to the high-ranking officials who have been detained, there are only a handful of officials with such characteristics who are still in office, which has boosted the spirit of several people.

"There is another point that can also be used as evidence - this person should have a good relationship with Shi Wang on weekdays, or even his drinker. If I guess correctly, Shi Wang's death would be to be knocked down by the drugged wine first, and then commit suicide by forging it!" Li Ling almost asserted.

...

In a yard in Wuchang City, two people stood opposite each other.

"The elder means that you will leave Wuchang immediately before you are suspected."

"If I leave, I will not be able to tell myself. With the power that Li Ling has in his hands now, I may not be able to leave." After a pause, the man smiled confidently, "And I have cleaned up all my hands. Li Ling would only think that Shi Wang is the leader in everything. He would never imagine that I am the secret son of the Holy Sect in Wuchang's official residence, so as long as I don't move, I will be safe. After all, in his eyes, I am still a down-to-earth and reliable subordinate."

The other party looked at him for a while and saw that he had made up his mind, so he sighed: "Since that's the case, then you can do it yourself. But I will leave Wuchang immediately. If there is any news in the future, it will be passed on to..." After the explanation, he quickly flashed away and disappeared into the vast night.
