Chapter 698
Xue Gui's reaction did not surprise Shen Hao.
But the case is so easy to investigate? Shen Hao doesn't think so for the time being. Because the weirdness of that book is not just a secret mystery.
When Shen Hao was asking several prison guards, he had been repeatedly exploring his body to see if he had any hidden injuries left by the weirdness in the book.
As a result, it was found that there was no secret injury, but there was an inconspicuous "stain" on the surface of the soul. It was a little small, so small that even with Shen Hao's control over the soul, it was extremely difficult to detect. And it was gently attached to it and could be eliminated with a slight shock.
But this "stain" on the soul did not cause any damage to the soul. In other words, if it weren't for the reminder of the black beast tattoo and the trust in the black beast tattoo, Shen Hao wouldn't have cared even if he coincidentally discovered this inconspicuous small "stain" on the soul.
Think about it again, there are more than Shen Hao who have read that book. Except for the dead Gan Wang, everyone who has seriously investigated this case has more or less turned over a few pages of the book. The "stain" left by the weirdness in the book is extremely likely to be left on the soul.
But has anyone heard of any person who investigated this case suddenly died? Or have they suffered some trauma for no reason? No, none of them.
Shen Hao's guess is that the weirdness in the book can be used as a breakthrough for the current case and continue to investigate later, but he cannot be sure that King Gan was killed by the weirdness in the book, at least there is no evidence in this regard for the time being. However, with Shen Hao's experience, the two should not be related.
Therefore, Shen Hao's thinking is different from Xue Gui. He did not rush to check the documents and wanted to learn what this means to influence the soul through words. Instead, he believed that following the clues of the storybook, the first priority was to understand the origin of the storybook.
He had the command of the commander of Xuan Qingwei and the command of the Ministry of Justice to investigate, so that Shen Hao could do many things in the imperial city. Anyone who could get along with the case would never dare to refuse his investigation.
Finally, I left the shift room and took a walk around the special prison area. Finally, I checked out the entry procedures before I came out of the Ministry of Justice. Next time I went in, I would also need to be led by the people from the Case Department to do so. But I should not come back today.
"Let's go, go to the prince's mansion."
Even though it was already night, the Gan Palace was still brightly lit, and the sound of mourning could be heard vaguely inside.
White lanterns were hung at the entrance of the grand Ganwang Mansion, the door was closed, and the stone beast at the door was surrounded by white cloth, making a funeral atmosphere.
When I knocked on the door, the doorman inside had red and swollen eyes. When I saw that it was Xuan Qingwei, I quickly invited him in. If it were the past, anyone who dared to knock on the door and disturb the rest of the doorman would definitely have to express his dissatisfaction with his beard and stare, but now... it is hard to describe in one word!
The Ganwang Mansion is very chaotic now. The women in the backyard are uneasy and are making noise. Without thinking, they understand that it must be a bloody battle and open and secret battle. If outsiders can't get in, it is considered to be a matter of the royal family. So Shen Hao didn't even go in the main hall. After entering the door, he stayed in the tea room of the doorman, and asked the doorman to call over the leader of the royal guard who served Ganwang's daily life and the safety of Ganwang.
The leader of the inner guard that Shen Hao asked first was also a relatively common question, such as whether he discovered any suspicious characters or suspicious incidents that occurred recently when Gan Wang’s mansion or Gan Wang were traveling, and whether there were fierce conflicts or conflicts directly targeting Gan Wang.
The leader of the inner guard was not vague, nor did he avoid anything. He offered the eldest prince a very bare-spoken prince. He said bluntly: Now the most conflicts with King Gan are the eldest prince, and the other minor conflicts are also between them and the other six princes. As for the conflicts outside the royal family, they have not been there in the past six months.
In other words, in the eyes of this inner guard leader who has always defended King Gan, the person who has conflicts with King Gan and can threaten King Gan is the other six princes.
Even the leader of the inner guard admitted that once the cause of Gan Wang's death was determined, he would live to the end. This is the fate of the royal guards. Even if the emperor granted a mercy to forgive the death penalty, they would not be able to continue to stay among the royal guards. So there was no restraint in the words. I hope that Shen Hao or anyone who could find out the truth would give a tangible explanation, who killed Gan Wang.
This is consistent with Shen Hao's previous speculation. For at least half a year, there have been no enemies other than the "big test".
Could anyone use the name of "big test" to harm the Ganwang? There is also a possibility, but Shen Hao believes that the possibility is not high. Because it is impossible to kill a prince in the prison of the Ministry of Justice in such a hidden way, this will definitely not be an ordinary person or an ordinary force, and it is extremely difficult not to attract the attention of the royal guards.
Later, the question was about the eunuch who served Gan Wang's daily life. A maid and an errand-running follower.
From living habits to dietary hobbies, to daily movement trajectories, Shen Hao was almost restoring the daily life before King Gan died. He also held a small notebook in his hand to pick up important information and write down important things.
"The prince will get up very early every day, fight a fight, wash up, eat breakfast... unless there is anything important at night, he will go to bed before the hour of Hai..."
"Yes, the prince likes to drink 100 fruit wine the most. He says it is not intoxicating and sweet, which is more thirsty than water..."
"In my spare time? In my spare time, the prince likes to read books, read all books, and read books... Who do you like to read? There is no fixed number, as long as you read them, you can read them as long as you read them. The prince is not so picky about the time... There is a board in the bookstore that says it is good. It's just a look. Just look at whether it can be put on the board. You don't need to read it first..."
......
In general, what I asked from the Gan Palace did not exceed Shen Hao's expectations, and even many places supported his speculation.
For example, King Gan is a very self-disciplined and rigid person. Shen Hao had a guess in the cell before that King Gan's cell was messy, because the reason for the messy bedding in King Gan's cell was not that King Gan's sleep did not tidy up, but that the prison guards carried the body up to mess up after death. People who had to fold quilts and make up their beds while staying in prison naturally would not live in disorder, which was proven.
Another point is that Gan Wang does have the habit of reading the storybook when drinking 100 fruit wine, and this habit has been like this for many years and has not been developed recently.
A person with a very regular life is sometimes easily analyzed clearly, and at least it is easy to use some of your living habits to do things that you are difficult to discover. For example, you will be sure that you will continue to read the script and drink Baihua wine after entering the surveillance.
Of course, as the prince, it is impossible for the king to have these two hobbies, such as polo, singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting, all of the king's leisure hobbies, but Shen Hao's focus is on Baiguojiu and the storybook. Who made these two things happen to be there at the crime scene?
