Chapter 747 Wine Pot

Shen Hao has his own set of investigative methods, many of which come from what he learned in another world, and can be applied by copying, and it is very different from the investigative practices of this world.

Shen Hao likes deduction, but his deduction needs to have certain facts that have happened as the basis of deduction, instead of relying on imagination.

Xue Gui, the chief case officer, summoned all the investigative experts under the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and found nothing. Shen Hao relied on the first-line intelligence analysis of the deacon of the royal family ancestral hall for many times, but also failed to make any progress.

Shen Hao faced the same difficulty as Xue Gui: the cause of death was found, but the murder method and clues were completely clueless.

But the difference from Xue Gui is that Shen Hao has more information in his hands. He holds the black water, knows the news of Yang Wenguang, and at the same time knows the filth between Yueyinglou and Lingwang. From another side analysis, the conclusion is basically It can be determined that it is very likely that Yang Wenguang started the fire and wanted to burn King Ling, and the dead King Lu was just an unlucky guy who just happened to be right.

However, the emperor's attitude made Shen Hao wonder, did he really want to treat Yang Wenguang as a temporary difficulty of the "big exam" and turn a blind eye? Or did the emperor have other plans?

On the contrary, Jiang Cheng came to inquire about the case several times during this period, and stated in the private letter that Shen Hao should do his best to find out the truth of the case, and that weird talisman master who could kill people secretly could not stay. Of course, if the case could be solved, even secretly, it would be a great achievement, and it would be very helpful for Shen Hao's future experience.

Don't pay attention to Yang Wenguang, but care about the talisman master who can "melt skills into words"? This. To be honest, Shen Hao didn't quite understand it.

But an order is an order. Since Jiang Cheng used the saying of "doing his best", he didn't want the case to be buried like this. He dug out the talisman teacher and took a look. If you can master it, it will be considered a great contribution, right?

Repeatedly analyzed the facts of the case passed over by the steward of the royal ancestral hall more than a dozen times, the breaking point was that he could not find any carrier that could cast the "melting spells into words" or "nine spells to disperse the soul".

Even Shen Hao suspected that the royal guards were lying, and made a hindrance to kill King Lu. But in the end, this idea was rejected when it was reported, saying that the royal ancestral hall had already passed the trial, and there was no problem with the inner guards guarding King Lu.

Now in the residence of the yamen of the Black Flag Battalion in Fengri City, Shen Hao had someone build a gazebo, and planted some flowers and plants. In the gazebo, there were also wine and vegetables, and a dummy lying on a stone table as a corpse.

This is Shen Hao's last resort now: go back to the scene.

It is all thanks to the deacon of the royal family's ancestral hall that it can be simulated like this. A dozen or so drawings were sent over, together with text descriptions, which basically restored the scene of King Lu's death.

But after restoring the scene, Shen Hao still didn't find anything. He had been walking around the temporary gazebo for half a day, his brows were furrowed, and he felt like his thoughts had reached a dead end.

"Could it be that something was wrong from the beginning?" Faced with such a predicament, Shen Hao couldn't help but start to doubt his previous judgment.

As soon as he raised his hand, the dummy was blown out of the pavilion by Shen Hao's true energy, and then Shen Hao sat in the place where the dummy was before.

At that time, King Lu should have been sitting like this. It was night and the moonlight was good. King Lu's mood should be that he was very depressed because he was blamed and blamed. He drank wine while watching the moonlight.

While imagining every possible behavior of King Lu before his death, he followed suit. Pick up vegetables and pour wine

"Hmm..." Shen Hao took a sip of the wine on the table, and his thoughts were subconsciously interrupted. The main reason is that I am used to Wuliangye and then drink the mincemeat wine on the table. I feel that the taste is very strange. The taste of the wine is weak, but the fruity and sweet taste is very strong. It doesn't taste like wine at all.

The interruption of emotions caused Shen Hao to break away from the state of being in the same place, frowning a little, secretly thinking that drinking was a mistake. Then he put down the flagon in his hand. At this moment, something seemed to come to him, Shen Hao's expression froze for a moment, and a series of strange expressions flashed in his eyes.

"This jug is here! Bring the previous paintings, hurry up!"

The guards under his command hurriedly responded, and ran to find out more than a dozen of the portraits that had been passed down before, and presented them to Shen Hao.

They are all the on-site portraits sent by the steward from the royal ancestral hall. The scene of the crime is drawn from all directions and angles, and even the sky at that time is painted on it, which is very detailed.

Shen Hao quickly dug out a few of them from the stack of portraits, all depicting scenes in the gazebo, including the location of King Lu's corpse at that time.

Shen Hao's eyes flicked back and forth on the stone table on several paintings.

"This jug is not right!" The jug is the same as in the painting, but the more it looks like this, the more it feels wrong to Shen Hao.

Wine shops in this world rarely sell wine in small bottles. Or it is in bulk, sealed in a big wine tank, and you can make as much as you want. Bring your own things for wine. Either the cellars kept in the wine shop are sold one jar at a time, the small ones are five or six catties per jar, and the large ones are more than ten or twenty catties or even fifty catties per jar.

How do ordinary people drink when they buy back wine? Most people buy it in bulk, and they have a wine jug at home, pour it into the wine jug and serve it on the table. After all, it is not easy to pour wine in a large container, and a small-mouth flagon is a must for ordinary people to drink.

Those who are a little more particular, or those who are of high status like King Lu, are even more particular about jugs and wine utensils. I have seen Ling Wangshu's drinking utensils before, from the pot to the cup, they are all magical objects, which are extravagant.

So here comes the question, why is the wine jug on the stone table in Lu Wang's gazebo an ordinary small celadon pot? Even the bowls and chopsticks in the Wangfu are inlaid with jade, is the jug so casual? And now that Shen Hao thinks back, it is not the first time he has seen the same jug.

"Where did this flagon come from?" Shen Hao called his guards to ask. Because the layout of this simulation scene was made by the people below according to the pictures, and all the objects were handmade by Qin Weijing.

Before the guard who handed over the portrait walked away, he bowed and replied after hearing Shen Hao's question: "My lord, the jug was bought from the Wang's Wine Shop in the Xicheng District of the Imperial City."

"Wang's wine shop?"

"Yes, my lord, your order should be exactly as in the picture. The dishes and wine on the table are prepared according to the picture. This wine pot is specially used by Wang's wine shop to hold their signature mince wine. Don't worry. You can't buy it anywhere." The guard's mind was very active, and when Shen Hao mentioned it, he knew what his lord wanted to know, so he quickly told him everything he knew.

Shen Hao picked up the jug again and looked at it carefully: less than a foot high, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, blue and white all over with bright yellow embellishments, and a small mouth at the mouth of the jug for easy pouring.

The flagon has no stopper, should it be sealing mud?

"Are there any unopened ones?"

"Also, I bought five pots before, and now there are three pots left unopened. Wait a moment, my lord, and my subordinates will go get them right away."
