Chapter 677 The Most Taboo Secret

After Rong Su finished speaking, Li Jun was surprised: "It's really unique that there is such a concubine in this palace."

It's just a pity that beauty is so miserable.

Li Jun didn't dare to say the latter sentence, but almost everyone present thought so.

Liu Wei could imagine what kind of woman Concubine Min was. Thinking about it, only a woman with such a temperament could stand up to help Rong Leng, who had nothing at the beginning.

Liu Wei was grateful to Concubine Min, whom she had never met before. Liu Wei thought that if the case was solved this time, perhaps Concubine Min's case could also be solved.

After all, it seems from now on that both cases, whether Concubine Chang or Princess Yuping, are based on the word Concubine Min.

And judging from the current evidence, Liu Wei has to guess that the murderer behind the scenes did all this for Concubine Min?

Of course, this is just a wild guess.

"This painting can be concluded from the paper, the brush strokes, the ink, the scraps of the painting, and the fibers of the paper. This painting was painted three years ago. To be precise, it was painted in the winter three years ago. , because there is pollen from wintersweet in the ink, and the person painted is of course not Concubine Min, but someone deliberately imitating Concubine Min."

"Imitation?" Rong Su looked confused.

Liu Wei said: "Isn't it strange? Concubine Min is so special. Doesn't the Seventh Prince still remember Concubine Min? Then there is no guarantee that other people in the palace will not miss Concubine Min. They imitate Concubine Min's painting method and use it to paint a picture. It’s normal to feel lovesickness.”

A solution to lovesickness? What kind of word is this?

Rong Su frowned.

Liu Wei didn't think it was inappropriate. This painting was indeed made by a man.

In the past few days, Liu Wei had been suppressing his own chemicals in order to extract all the available ingredients in the painting, and Liu Wei got the most clues from the ink and the cortex of the painting paper.

It was determined that the painter was a man because Liu Wei extracted a small amount of old sweat stains on the surface of the painting paper.

It stands to reason that after three years, let alone sweat, even if you pour a basin of water on it, it should be completely dry.

But the problem is that the density of the drawing paper is staggered, and the liquid that penetrates into the second layer of the drawing paper instead of the surface layer will show some visible spots after condensation, just like the books in the bookcase are damp. No matter how you wipe it from the outside, you will see that the paper pages will turn yellow and have spots. This is something that cannot be wiped away by foreign objects.

In fact, ordinary calligraphy and painting are susceptible to a series of paper deterioration due to weather and environmental factors after more than a year.

But fortunately, this painting has been preserved very well. From the outside, it is almost flawless. It can be seen that it has been carefully preserved and maintained by people for three years.

And because it was so well preserved, although nothing could be seen on the outside, the small flaws on the second floor were clearly visible after Liu Wei made a simple magnifying glass and microscope through the glass mirror Jin Nanyun finally developed. .

Liu Wei cut off the problematic part and tested it several times with the help of chemicals. It took two days to analyze the gene chain in the sweat from the degree of fermentation in the area of ​​the piece of paper. Sweat belongs to men.

At the same time, Liu Wei also saw from the splatters of ink and the finishing strokes that although this person deliberately imitated Min Fei's style of painting, he could not be wrong from beginning to end.

And the position of the final stroke is the most easily overlooked.

Liu Wei checked every inch and every moment of the scroll frame by frame, and the answer he came up with was very clear - judging from the hardness and boldness of the details, the probability that this painting was painted by a man is as high as 8%. Fifteen and above.

The probability is as high as 85%. Although it is not 100%, it is at least an obvious direction.

Solving crimes requires bold assumptions and careful verification.

Now Liu Wei's assumption is that someone in the palace was in love with the deceased Concubine Min and was very familiar with Concubine Min's painting style.

The man imitated Concubine Min and drew a portrait, which he then treasured and carefully preserved.

But three years later, the man suddenly made a decision and sent the painting he cherished so carefully to the palace of Princess Yuping.

Later, Princess Yuping died.

Before the death of Princess Yuping, Concubine Chang, who was Concubine Min's biological sister, was linked to a treasonous crime and died.

Before Concubine Chang's death, the portraits placed in the palace were still ordinary, but after her death, someone filled the entire Changyang Palace with Concubine Min's old paintings.

Concubine Min is the starting point, Concubine Chang is the transition, and whether Princess Yuping is the second transition or the end is unknown now.

But Liu Wei believed that, leaving aside the death of Concubine Chang, the death of Princess Yuping must have a lot to do with the person who admired Concubine Min.

It's even possible that that person is the murderer behind it.

It's just that the palace is so vast, where can I find this person?

So in summary, the clues we have now are - the suspect is male, his age is unknown, but if you guess based on Concubine Min's age, it is roughly estimated that she is between thirty and forty-five years old, her identity is unknown, her height is unknown, the other party has She has a certain degree of literary accomplishment, good calligraphy and painting, and she was once a close friend of Concubine Min. Without being close, it would be impossible for her to be so familiar with the painting style of Concubine Min in the deep palace.

After explaining all this to Rong Su, Rong Su, Li Jun, and Lin Sheng all fell silent.

Lin Sheng's record has already been recorded for three pages.

Both pages contained words that even he could not understand, such as microscope, gene chain, etc. He had never heard of them, but Mr. Liu asked him to write them like this, so he had no choice but to write them like this.

But now, Lin Sheng didn't dare to write.

It was originally an investigation into the case of Princess Yuping, but it was inexplicably led to the case of Concubine Chang. Now it is actually involved in the case of a deceased noble concubine from more than ten years ago.

He even revealed that the imperial concubine still has an admirer?

If you are still in love with someone who has been dead for more than ten years, what was the relationship between the two more than ten years ago?

Lin Sheng almost didn't dare to think deeply, and his hair stood on end when he thought about it.

These are the secrets of the palace. Even after many years, they are still extremely taboo secrets.

Lin Sheng didn't want to know what happened in the palace at all, let alone what would happen in the future.

Lin Sheng's pen paused here.

Liu Wei looked at the three people who were silent, exhaled, and said to Rong Su: "I have said before that this case is very involved and it is a case within a case. You insist on taking it. Now, you should know You know everything, how do you plan to solve the case?"

Solve the case?

Rong Su couldn't help but sneer, this case has been dragged so far, why is there any talk of solving it? Don't say whether he wants to break it or not, he just wants it. Does the emperor want it?

Concubine Min's death was a mystery back then.

Rong Su didn't think that his father was willing to expose this matter again and cause trouble for him again.
