Chapter 163: The Hill Study (4) Death of the Book Thief
"The little one thinks that this murderer may be someone inside our study." The person in charge was praised by Liansheng, and couldn't help but be proud.
"Okay, executives, you have so many words, adults will answer whatever you ask, and if you don't ask, you will shut up." Yan Xiao Xiaoshan interrupted him.
"Boss, boss, something big is wrong!"
A guy ran from the front yard in a panic.
The senior management was ridiculed by Yan Xiaoshan and was uncomfortable, and suddenly found a target to transfer, and scolded: "What are you panicking about, what else is bigger than a dead person?" ”
"Gao Tou, boss, our books have been returned!"
"Why was you dismissed?"
Yan Xiaoshan is very confident in his books, the cover and printing of Xiaoshan's study are first-class, not to mention that "The Legend of Ruyu" is the only one, he has also seen the counterfeit, it is far worse than the books in his own study, he doesn't believe that all bookstores are so visionless.
"The Legend of Ruyu", it turns out that the second and third copies of "The Legend of Ruyu" have come out, and only the second copy has been printed in our study, how can I think that everyone has come out, the price is lower than ours, and now the bookstores in Hangzhou City are all in the Green Garden study room and I don't know which study room has books, our books have been returned!"
"Green Park Study? Why haven't you heard of it in the past? ”
Yan Xiaoshan's brows furrowed, this matter was really more troublesome to him than a dead man.
"Could it be that the owner of Mingyue will sell the original manuscript to others?"
Liansheng said on the side.
"It's absolutely impossible." Yan Xiaoshan's answer was categorical.
"How can you be so sure? You believe in the owner of the bright moon building so much? ”
"Yes, I'm pretty sure this guy would never sell the manuscript to anyone else. There must be something else going on in this Green Garden study. ”
Seeing Yan Xiaoshan's affirmation, Lian Sheng had an idea.
This should be the first copyright case she has encountered. First of all, the book of Xiaoshan Study was pirated, and the counterfeiters obviously copied the "Legend of Ruyu" of Xiaoshan Shufang, with only slight differences in trademarks, and the paper and printing were worse than the original version of Xiaoshan Shufang; Then a batch of blank paper books appeared, only exposing Yan Xiaoshan's murder of the author of "The Legend of Ruyu" on the front page of Mingyue Mansion: Now there is a book in the Green Garden Study, which is actually in front of Xiaoshan's study, and "The Legend of Ruyu" According to Yan Xiaoshan, the copyright was bought out by Xiaoshan Study, and it can be pirated and imitated. There is absolutely no chance that there will be a third part.
At the same time, a typesetting mechanic in Xiaoshan's study died mysteriously and tragically. It's getting more and more confusing.
At this time, the official messenger of the Hangzhou prefect's yamen had already arrived, and he knew that the criminal master was here, so he came to meet him first, and then the head of the team took the gang and others to investigate the scene.
Yan Xiaoshan no longer has the calm and leisure he had just now, and it seems that the situation of the third part of "The Legend of Ruyu" is a heavier blow to him than the appearance of dead people in the study.
He insisted. A third part is not possible. But he was worried about it. Xu Yan, who was waiting for the results of the on-site investigation, found the problem, and she whispered to Liansheng: "Master, how do I think this Boss Yan has a ghost in his heart. ”
"Hmm. How can you see that? ”
His expression was obviously flustered, and he looked a little more gloomy between his eyebrows, if it was as he said, it was impossible for anyone to get the third part of "The Legend of Ruyu", why was he so nervous, there must be something wrong with this. The owner of Mingyue Mansion who wrote "The Legend of Ruyu" must have been killed by him. ”
"It's strange, didn't you worship him just now, why did you change your mind after a while."
Lotus Shengqi Dao.
"Oh, master, haven't you heard, the little girl's mind, the child's face, change when you say it."
Is there such a saying?
At this time, he had already walked out with an extremely ugly face.
"How?"
"Tell your lordship, it is true that the dead were poured into copper water and died, as your lord said."
The man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and it seemed that he was also shocked by such a tragic death.
"Did you find anything else?"
"The deceased's stomach was exposed, and nothing else was found, except that this was found under the deceased." Then the team leader who walked out handed Liansheng a piece of paper.
The paper was also tainted with a strong stench of corpses. Xu Yan wrapped her hand in a handkerchief and took it and showed it to Liansheng.
I saw that there were five big words written on it: "Death to the book thief".
Yan Xiaoshan also saw this piece of paper, his expression was shocked, and Lian Sheng asked, "Boss Yan, have you thought of anything?" ”
Yan Xiaoshan hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just think that this note is inexplicable, "The Legend of Ruyu" was authorized by the owner of Mingyue Mansion to the study, this is the only one, I don't know what this theft means." ”
"Boss Yan is different from what I think."
Lian Sheng smiled and pointed to the note: "Most people will think that the person who stole my book will think that they are stealing the books in the library, right?" Why did Boss Yan think of the version of "The Legend of Ruyu" first? ”
"This ...... Yan is doing this, so he naturally thought of things in his own industry, and a batch of counterfeit books appeared in the morning, so he naturally thought of this. Yan Xiaoshan paused obviously when answering, and Lian Sheng nodded, "Oh, I see." What Boss Yan said is extremely true. The official also thinks that stealing a few books will not make people die such a miserable death, I am afraid that it is not the printed books that are stolen, but the original manuscripts. This deceased Zhu Li seems to have something to do with the imitation of Xiaoshan's study, and he may be the one who leaked the secret. ”
She looked at Yan Xiaoshan with a cold gaze, and accentuated her tone: "In this way, Boss Yan, you are the most suspicious. ”
"My lord, if you are killing someone, why do you need to put the body in the storehouse, isn't this setting yourself on fire?"
"Boss Yan hasn't heard that the most dangerous place is the safest? Smart people do the opposite. ”
"My lord, this is a sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse."
"Haha, Boss Yan, it's really not as calm and relaxed as just now."
"Adults have been in prison for a long time, so they naturally have an awe-inspiring attitude, how can Yan not be afraid?"
"Awe-inspiring attitude, hehe, not bad." A familiar voice came from the door, and Xu Yan exclaimed, "Ying...... Master Yu! ”
It was Yu Shizhao who was shaking a fan and was the head of the style.
"Ah, you...... How did it come? Liansheng himself didn't realize that this voice was obviously agitated, trembling slightly, listening to Yu Shizhao's happy mood, the hard work of the two-day journey was gone.
"I heard that my family is here, so I came here on purpose." Yu Shizhao stepped forward with a smile: "I don't know what case my family has encountered?" ”
"This is the master of the adults?" Yan Xiaoshan hurriedly moved.
"The owner of Xiaoshan's study is really good!"
Yu Shizhao let him do it, and he didn't support him politely, of course, he has a noble status and a very picky personality. That Yan Xiaoshan was also extremely natural and thoughtful, and Lian Sheng couldn't help but look at him secretly, wondering if he had seen something.
The officials endured the stench and wrapped the body in linen cloth and carried it away.
"My lord, we should go back too."
Yu Shizhao saw that Lian Sheng glanced at Yan Xiaoshan several times, and this Yan boss was handsome and chic, with an outstanding temperament, and the boss in his heart was unhappy, so he urged Lian Sheng to leave quickly.
"There's no hurry." Liansheng saw that his face was not good, and hurriedly winked at him: "I'm very interested in the theft of the "Legend of Ruyu" in Xiaoshan's study. ”
"Stolen books? Someone else steals books? How many copies can you steal? ”
Yu Shizhao scoffed.
Liansheng Fu forehead: Don't you be so ignorant, Your Highness.
Of course, in this era, there is no copyright consciousness yet, and Xiaoshan Study's purchase of Mingyue's novel is only for commercial competition, and others cannot be expected to understand the truth.
However, Yan Xiaoshan explained very patiently: "Here's how it ......."
After he finished speaking, Yu Shizhao shook his fan: "Then let's go and see what the Green Garden study is for." ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Yan Xiaoshan with a fan: "Boss Yan, lead the way ahead." (To be continued......)
