"Guess what she said to me?"

Ji Xingxuan slowly turned her head and looked at Yu Shu who walked in front of her, the sun was shining, and she could see the tiny fluffy hair at the corner of her forehead clearly, the slightly bruised eye bags, and the sluggish eyes made her look a little lifeless.

Ji Xingxuan quietly clenched the lock in his hand and said coldly, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Hehe," Yu Shu suddenly chuckled, stared at her as if he had seen through, turned around and walked to his room, his figure disappeared into the half-open door, and there was no follow-up.

Ji Xingxuan sank his face and stood in place for a long time before raising his hand to relock the door and hurriedly leaving the women's house.

Yu Shu stood at the window and watched Ji Xingxuan walk away quickly, his eyes contemplative.

***

Yu Shu sat in a restaurant near the library to eat, while listening to the discussion of the drinkers next to her, while eating light and tasteless Yangchun noodles, she had only seen a dead person last night, if it weren't for the hungry cooing, she couldn't even drink a mouthful of noodle soup.

Throwing down a dime of silver, Yu Shu stood up and walked out of the restaurant, walked back to the library, and walked directly in the direction of the stargazing platform.

Occasionally, I met a few people on the road, whispering about the dead people last night, some were afraid, some were embarrassed, and the atmosphere in the library became sluggish overnight.

It will cause this kind of chaos, and it is also the malpractice of the Taishi Academy, the eighteen academicians only manage teaching, otherwise they find that there are students who violate the rules and need to come forward to expel them, in addition, they are not involved in other affairs, and even if there is a murder, no one has come forward to calm the commotion.

Yu Shu walked through the long Donghuang Zhao Wall, and he didn't see a single idle person, but he was stopped by two officers and soldiers outside the gate of the stargazing platform.

"Stop, no entry or exit here."

Yu Shu looked at the other party's poor clothes, which were different from the clothes of the officials of Shuntian Mansion she had seen before, and guessed that it was the manpower of Dali Temple. So he stopped:

"I want to see Lord Xue, please help inform me, I was the first person to find the body last night."

The two officers and soldiers glanced at each other, and one asked Yu Shu to wait. I went in and asked for instructions, and after a while, I trotted back:

"Girl, please come with me."

An officer and soldier led the way and led Yu Shu into the hospital. During the day, the stargazing tower was even more empty, and Yu Shu looked around and saw several officials scattered on the wide lawn, bending down to look for something.

Look up. There were figures walking on the gray-walled and white-walled stargazing platform, and Yu Shu climbed up the steps of Panhuan, and saw Xue Rui standing at the door of the hut where the body was found last night, as if he was thinking about something.

"My lord, the girl brought it." The words of the officers and soldiers interrupted Xue Rui's train of thought, he turned his head, and when he saw Yu Shu, his frowning brows scattered. Smiling at her, he walked over.

"Have you rested?"

"Hmm," Yu Shu glanced at the dead man's hut. He swept around the platform and rummaged through the hands of people who were looking for clues, and said:

"Miss Cao was killed by someone, right?"

Xue Rui naturally heard that this was not a question, nodded, and did not hide her truth: "The deceased was strangled with a rope and then hung on the roof beam, and there was no trace of the body dragging nearby, obviously the crime occurred in that hut." The hour of death was between the time of the hour of the sea and the time of the child, but after the examination, no one else came to the observatory during this time. It is likely that the murderer sneaked into the Taishi Academy in the middle of the night to commit the murder, but unfortunately there are stone roads around this observatory, and the usual cleaning is also clean, there is no dust, and even a series of suspicious footprints have not been left, I deduce. The murderer was supposed to be a martial artist and a man. ”

Yu Shu hesitated: "Just knowing this, it is difficult to find out the murderer, is there no other clue?" ”

Xue Rui nodded, and said firmly: "The deceased is a girl, avoiding others so late, and quietly running to the stargazing platform alone, there must be a big problem, I don't know if it was tempted by someone, or if there is another reason." I have sent someone to collect the confessions of the informants and search the deceased's residence, and I should be able to find some clues. ”

While the two were talking, an official ran from the stairs, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, turned to a page and handed it to Xue Rui:

"My lord, this was found in the residence of the female student in the Shuyuan, in the deceased's room, please take a look."

Yu Shu turned his head to look and saw a note sandwiched between the two pages of the book, because of the angle, he couldn't see what was written, but he saw Xue Rui's face change slightly, and he looked up at her with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Yu Shu asked curiously.

Xue Rui didn't say anything, just handed it upside down in front of her eyes, so that she could see what was written on the note-

Tonight, on the stargazing platform, enjoy the wind and the moon, and Mo Yu others.

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, not only because the word "Jingchen" was written on the signature of this note, but also because the handwriting of the short eighteen characters on it was exactly the same as Jingchen!

"When you entered the deceased's room, did you find anything unusual." Xue Rui first asked about the official who found this note.

The official immediately understood what he was worried about, and replied: "My lord, the door of the deceased's room is locked, several of his subordinates broke in, the doors and windows in the house are closed, and there is no trace of anyone sneaking in. ”

After Xue Rui asked for verification, he turned back to Yu Shu and said, "You should recognize his handwriting, can you see that he wrote it?" ”

Yu Shu took a deep breath, picked up the note and carefully identified it, but she was not proficient in calligraphy and couldn't see anything boring, so she had to tell Xue Rui frankly:

"It looks like his words."

Xue Rui's face was straight, and he immediately ordered his subordinates on the side: "Find Daozi and invite someone." ”

When he checked this morning, he heard the news that Jingchen had become an academician in the Taishi Academy, and before that, he hadn't heard any rumors, and at the moment of the murder, he didn't have the extra mind to worry about Jingchen's approach.

After sending someone to go, Xue Rui left the two of them to continue to guard at the top of the stargazing platform, took Yu Shu downstairs, walked in front, and asked casually:

"Ashu, what do you think?"

He originally thought that Yu Shu would defend Jingchen for something, but who knew that her tone was cold:

"When the people come, the eldest brother asks, I am not a fast catcher, what can I think."

Xue Rui looked back at her unexpectedly, and saw that she looked indifferent, and suddenly remembered that after the wine banquet in Wangjilou was dispersed a few days ago, he went to look for her, but he bumped into Jingchen at the door of her house to send her back, and after a distance, I don't know what the two of them said, which would make her so sad.

Doubts, Xue Rui didn't ask at the time, and now he won't take the initiative to mention it, in short, he has already expressed his heart to Yu Shu, if he sees what she has to do with Jing Chen, he will not ignore it again.

***

Yu Shu and Xue Rui were sitting in a small building near the stargazing platform, with fragrant tea in their hands, and before they could wait long, there was a sound from outside:

"My lord, Daozi is here."

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Yu Shu lowered his head and drank tea, and sat there without raising his head.

Jing Chen, who was dressed in a yellow dress and a white shirt with a hosta, was quiet and elegant, quite a teacher, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the two people present, his eyes swept over Yu Shu, his expression remained unchanged, and then fell on Xue Rui, who stood up, and said:

"Why is Lord Xue looking for me?"

Xue Rui raised his hand to signal him to take a seat, and Jing Chen sat down opposite him and Yu Shu, looked at Xue Rui, and did not look away.

Xue Rui's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he took in the blindness of the two, and it was not difficult to see that the relationship between the two of them was even stiffer than he imagined.

"That's right," he began, "and a schoolgirl hanged herself on the stargazing platform last night. ”

Jingchen said: "I heard about it when I came this morning. ”

"Then do you deny the deceased Cao Youling?" Xue Rui didn't mention the note directly, but asked from elsewhere first.

"I recognize, after I became an academician, a total of 37 students have come to me this year, and Miss Cao is one of them." Jingchen did not shy away from talking about the intersection between her and Cao Youling.

Xue Rui pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did you have any contact with her yesterday?" ”

"I lecture on the stargazing platform during the day, and she's there."

"Then do you know why she went to the stargazing platform alone in the middle of the night last night?"

Jingchen said without thinking: "I don't know. ”

Xue Rui picked up the book in hand, took out the note in it, handed it to the official on the side, and asked him to hand it to Jing Chen.

"Isn't this written by Michiko himself?"

Xue Rui, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who has solved more than a dozen serious cases in a year, has keen observation and subtle thinking, and the most important thing is that he is never emotional when he investigates the case, so although he believes in Jingchen's character, it is under the black and white paper, and his suspicion is not ruled out.

Jing Chen stared at the note in his hand, showing a hint of surprise, looked up at Xue Rui, and asked, "Where did you get this from, and it is so similar to my handwriting?" ”

Xue Rui said coldly: "This was found in Miss Cao's room, and it was confirmed that it was left by the deceased before her death, and she should have been killed on the stargazing platform because of this note." Now I suspect that you led the deceased to the observatory with a note, and you say that this note was not written by you, and that it is empty words, but what evidence do you have? ”

Jingchen was forced by him aggressively, not in a hurry, he lowered his head and read the note again, recalled for a moment, and said:

"It says 'tonight', and according to the time, it means that Miss Cao got the note yesterday. I was giving a lecture at the observatory yesterday, and although she was present, there were other students with me, and if I gave her a note in person, or what I received, it should be seen by others, and you can find those students and ask them to understand. ”

Xue Rui frowned and said, "There are a few people present who see it, who are they." ”

Jingchen thought about it, he has a very good memory, and he has the ability to never forget, and in just a few days, he remembered all the students who worshiped him, and then slowly said a few names: "Yesterday was a measuring instrument, not many people came, there was Qin Yuerou, the young lady of the Qin family, and the young lady of the Cui family."

Yu Shu listened to Xue Rui's questions one after another, drinking a cup of tea, without interjecting a word, let alone saying anything, and looking out of the way, until Jingchen said a name after the most embarrassed, she raised her head and glanced at him.
