72. What did you say yesterday

After listening to the brief introduction of this uninvited guest, Chen Lang suddenly lost his sleep. Chen Lang had never heard of the title of the Central City Order Tang Quan before, but what Tang Quan said just now proved that he was not an ordinary person.

If Huaining has any difficult case, he will always find Tang Quan as soon as possible...

Based on this, Tang Quan was the famous detective Conan of this era, or Bao Zheng of this era.

Awesome!

"If Your Highness doesn't dislike Tang, can you let Tang ask a few questions?" Tang Quan smiled and sat on the dirty and smelly floor.

Humph, it’s almost the same to ask Emperor Xu to come and talk to me in person!

Chen Lang looked at the man in front of him and was originally going to throw out the above sentence and make a statement. But after thinking for a moment, he felt it was unnecessary. He thought that he was thrown into the prison by the army last night, and the first person to appear this morning was Tang Quan. This shows Xu Huang’s trust in Tang Quan and the ability of Tang Quan.

Ask questions just by asking, can Conan even wrongly accuse a good person?

Thinking of this, Chen Lang shrugged his shoulders and sat down in front of Tang Quan with his legs crossed.

Tang Quan was calm on the surface, but actually paid attention to Chen Lang's every move, including his subtle facial expressions.

With the many accumulated case handling experience in the past, Tang Quan was confident that he could see through the suspect with his naked eyes, whether the suspect was a noble person, a noble person, or a royal relative.

So at this moment, how did Tang Quan look at Chen Lang sitting cross-legged?

To be honest, he didn't see it. The reason is probably because the case is of great importance and the identity of the suspect is not small. Tang Quan, a small third-rank official, dare not make a rash judgment.

On the way back, Tang Quan thought about the interrogation procedure, but now sitting face to face with Prince Liang, Tang Quan suddenly realized that there was no need to use any tricks to Chen Lang. The two sides had an open and honest conversation, which was undoubtedly the best way to talk.

Chen Lang had no expression on his face and paused for several seconds before he could speak. So he simply said straightforwardly: "The fire at Zhaixing Tower last night had nothing to do with me, and the assassin who assassined Xu Huang also had nothing to do with me."

"Well..." Tang Quan nodded slightly, and simply asked Chen Lang's topic: "How can your Highness prove that you have nothing to do with the two cases?"

After hearing what he said, Chen Lang got angry and stubbornly said, "If I knew that the Zhaixing Tower was about to catch a fire, why would I attend the banquet of Emperor Xu?"

Tang Quan shook his head and said angrily: "This does not prove that you have nothing to do with the case."

I'm gonna be!

Chen Lang cursed in his mind with resentment. But no matter how angry he was, Chen Lang knew it clearly. He could not prove his innocence just by saying a few words. On the contrary, the assassin's false accusations and accusations before his death were very lethal.

Anyone would have doubted Chen Lang because of this.

"I heard that you didn't drink much wine at the banquet last night." Tang Quan began to take the initiative in an orderly manner, "This is slightly different from the previous style of Your Highness at the reception banquet."

"The dust banquet is just to play, and I am the protagonist, so I forget it while playing; but the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is more like the family banquet of the royal family of King Xu. During the banquet, I have to recite poems and essays to cheer up. I am a little talented and knowledgeable, so how dare I drink too much."

Chen Lang made a quick guess and made a mistake.

"Last night, the fire in Zhaixing Tower was getting stronger and stronger. How did you come up with a quilt to make a rope to get out of danger?" Tang Quan continued to ask.

"It's just a survival instinct." Chen Lang blurted out. He would definitely not tell Tang Quan that when he was studying, Chen Lang and his classmates used similar tricks, twisting a quilt into a rope, and then slipped away from the exterior wall of the school dormitory.

"Yeah?"

Tang Quan deliberately delayed his tone.

Chen Lang said coldly: "If I really want to assassinate Xu Huang, why should I help Xu Huang escape from the fifth floor of Zhaixing Tower? You must know that the fire will burn to the fifth floor, not only Xu Huang, but also other royal members will be buried in the sea of ​​fire."

"Your Highness is not wrong to say this." Tang Quan suddenly changed his subject as he spoke, "But last night, a commoner saw that the assassin had had a conversation with you before assassin assassin assassin. How do you explain this?"

Chen Lang was a little confused when he heard this. Unexpectedly, even such details were grasped by Tang Quan. There was no way, Chen Lang could only reply in a low voice: "At that time, I held the quilt and rope in my hand, and the assassin asked casually, and I answered casually."

"What is the assassin asking? What is the answer of His Highness?" Tang Quan speeded up his speech.

Chen Lang murmured in his heart that the crowds of people last night, and it is said that the common people could not hear their conversation with the assassin. In this way, should Chen Lang choose to lie now?

After all, that simple question and answer may aggravate Chen Lang's suspicion.

"Your Highness has forgotten what happened last night?" Tang Quan deliberately increased the volume of his speech.

No!

You can't lie now! Maybe Tang Quan had known the content of Chen Lang's conversation with the assassin for a long time. The reason why he pretended to be unknown was to see if there was any ghost in Chen Lang's heart.

"The assassin asked me if the person who had slipped off the rope over there was Emperor Xu, and I answered a word casually, right." Chen Lang did not hide it in the end.

Alas ~

Tang Quan sighed suddenly, then shook his head helplessly: "I had a conversation with you before the assassination. The conversation was concise and to the point, just to tell the assassin who was Xu Huang. The assassin committed suicide after failing to act, and he pointed it out with his own fingers. You were manipulating it behind the scenes. Don't tell me, all this is just a coincidence."

Well……

This question is really hard to explain.

Chen Lang frowned: "According to Lord Tang's words, I can't prove that I have nothing to do with the case, but the assassin can prove that I have something to do with the case?"

Tang Quan kept smiling, without saying anything.

Chen Lang felt that his eyes were dark, and he had nothing to do with him, but now he had the evidence. He tried hard to recall, recall the detective animation and TV series he had watched in the past. In desperation, Chen Lang gritted his teeth and said, "In legal theory, we should pay attention to the suspicion of guilt..."

"What?"

Before Chen Lang finished speaking, Tang Quan interrupted him in a daze.

"Have Lord Tang considered my crime motive?" Chen Lang quickly changed his words. He smiled bitterly in his heart. In this era, he was basically equivalent to quibbling, and he committed another crime in the second grade.

"I thought about it, but Tang really couldn't think of it." Tang Quan didn't keep it.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Chen Lang quickly asked: "Did you catch suspicious people last night? Have you visited the scene of the fire in Zhaixing Tower?"

Tang Quan said slowly: "A lot of suspicious people have been arrested, and the yamen runners are conducting preliminary examinations. At the scene of the fire, we will go to inspect after leaving the prison later."

"I'll go too." Chen Lang said loudly. He knew very well that only by going deep into the front line of the case could he be more likely to wash away the grievances he had been burdened.
