After the death of Zhan Xueyuan, the road building of the Taishi Book Garden was sealed, and every day there were officials of Dali Temple guarding outside, and idlers were not close.

Zhan Xueyuan's body was taken back by the Zhan family's house slaves in the capital, the ancestral home of the Zhan family is in Jiangxi, and it will be a month later at the earliest.

According to the results of the autopsy, Zhan Xueyuan died in the early morning of July 15, the murder weapon was a rope, and near the well where she was thrown into the body, Jingchen's academician signature was dropped.

Xue Rui personally took the confessions of several students who were familiar with her, and determined that Zhan Xueyuan did not return to the Zhan family's annex in the capital the night before he was killed, but stayed alone in the women's dormitory for the night.

In addition, the gatekeeper of the library building had seen Zhan Xueyuan enter the top floor with the academician signature.

The guards in charge of patrolling the courtyard unanimously said that in the early morning of the day of the incident, they did not see any suspicious characters near the Zaidao Building.

Other than that, there are no other reliable clues.

And the two biggest suspects among them, the servant who found the body, and the gatekeeper of the library, both have someone to prove that they are not present.

The doorkeeper was in his fifties, and he didn't look like he could lift it well, and the sweeping servant was a skinny and dry boy.

So, this became another unsolved case.

Xue Rui came to the Taishi Book Garden again this morning, and he only brought one catcher with him, he entered the library building, and slowly moved from the first floor to the third floor.

On each floor there are rows and rows of bookcases and bookshelves, and the killer wants to hide them from being discovered. It's just too easy.

According to his speculation, Zhan Xueyuan sneaked into the study building before dawn, and then was attacked from behind by a murderer hiding behind a bookcase in advance, strangled to death with a rope, and then carried her body downstairs and threw it into the well, so as to delay the time when the body was found, so as to find a chance to escape.

There are many doubts in this, such as: There is a lock outside the door of the library. The key is at the gatekeeper, and the door is opened every day after the hour to allow the students to enter, how did Zhan Xueyuan come in quietly?

Another example. Where did Zhan Xueyuan get Jing Chen's academician signature. Did she sneak up to the library to find something?

These questions. It seems that only the dead Zhan Xueyuan can answer, but Xue Rui knows that it is the same as Cao Youling's murder. Zhan Xueyuan was also lured to the scene of the crime by the murderer or his accomplices, and then killed.

In the two murder cases before and after, the murderer was cautious and terrible, there were no eyewitnesses, the place where the crime occurred was cleaned up neatly, and there was not even a single footprint left on the ground, so it was completely impossible to find out what Zhan Xueyuan was looking for before he died.

Therefore, Xue Rui can be sure that the academician sign that fell by the well was not accidentally left by the murderer while carrying the corpse, but a clue deliberately left by him, pointing to Jingchen.

This time, it was not a blame-setting, the murderer's intention was to tell those who knew that he killed people for the sake of great safety.

Such an unaware method, once the emperor hears about it, it is impossible not to be in a hurry, and the greatest possibility is to arrange the marriage of Jingchen and Yu Shu as soon as possible, so that Yu Shu will be completely exposed.

"Cautious, smart, and confident."

Xue Rui figured out the characteristics of the murderer, and painted a vague image in his mind, his eyes kept flashing, and he was a little excited.

It is said that it is a happy thing in life to meet an opponent in chess, and it is also rare for him to meet a smart and cunning murderer.

"My lord, did you find anything again?" Caught quickly asked expectantly, because of this case, their brothers have not been able to sleep well for a few days.

Xue Rui stood by the window on the third floor and looked down, just in time to see the well, turned his head and said to his subordinates:

"This library has been inspected inside and out, there is no suspicious place, and tomorrow, the ban will be lifted, and there is no need to send people to guard it."

"This, yes."

Xue Rui turned around again, swept the mountains of books stacked in front of him, the ink in his eyes turned, and said in his heart, you hide it, wait for me to arrest you.

***

Yu Shu went to the newly built Jingwang Mansion and met Liu Tan there.

She originally thought that Liu Tan was looking for an excuse to win her over as a Miao Ling messenger, but who knew that people really asked her to come to see the house, from beginning to end, it revolved around feng shui, and there was no more off-topic.

Yu Shu didn't come in vain, needless to say, the feng shui of the palace must be good, the Ministry of Engineering contributed people, and Si Tianjian sent two great masters who were proficient in feng shui to participate in the design of the palace's Kanyu drawings, the standard well-being mansion, a good one.

After she watched it this time, there was Liu Tan explaining from the side in the large and small courtyards, but she learned it effortlessly. Of course, Liu Tan only showed her the layout of the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard would not let her in.

"Lianfang thinks, how is this king's palace built?"

"The prince came to me, but I was clumsy, when it comes to arithmetic, there are few people in Anling City who can compare to me, but to say this feng shui knowledge, I am not enough to lift shoes for several masters." Yu Shu shook his head and hurt himself.

Since the Qixi Festival, she has not deliberately pretended to be so polite in front of Liu Tan, after all, she is her best friend's future husband, as long as Liu Tan doesn't think about recruiting her as a younger brother, she might as well be harmonious.

Liu Tan smiled slightly: "But your ability to call the wind and rain is something that no one in the world can do." ”

"I can't say that, and my master."

"Ling Shi is afraid that he is already an immortal, how can he be compared with mortals."

Yu Shu was impatient and flattered with anyone, so he said: "The prince is recuperating in Longhu Mountain, have you seen fewer old immortals, I often hear people say that some of the old people of the Taoist sect have lived for hundreds of years." ”

Liu Tan shook his head, "Where is the longevity of hundreds of years, the eldest among the elders of the sect only passed the ninety-nine years old last year. ”

Yu Shu wanted to ask him about the things on Longhu Mountain, but he was afraid that Liu Tan would be keenly aware of something, so he pulled the topic elsewhere.

The two chatted for a few words, and a servant came over to whisper, Liu Tan's expression changed, and he turned his head to Yu Shu and said apologetically:

"I originally wanted to invite my cousin to have lunch with you and taste the live fish sent from the south this morning, but unfortunately there is something urgent, and this king has to go out."

Yu Shu was interested, "The prince has something to do, I'll go back, the big brother is investigating the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to find time to eat and drink with us." ”

This is the resignation, Liu Tan was supposed to be sent to the gate in person, but Yu Shu refused, and was sent out of the house by the steward.

As soon as she left, Liu Tan frowned, turned his head and asked the servant, "You tell me about Fang Cai again." ”

The servant hung his head and said, "Someone saw the eleventh prince in a Chu pavilion on Qianyuan Street last night. ”

Liu Tan's face was cloudy, in the recent Qincha headless case, Liu Yi was not defeated by King Ning's cunning, and was driven out of the capital by Emperor Zhaoqing in anger.

As for King Ning, at this time, he is still "honestly" facing the wall in King Ning's mansion.

"Master?"

"Let someone go to the annex and invite Mr. Situ to come."

"Yes."

"Let people go to Qianyuan Street and stare at it again and confirm it."

There are some articles that can be done on this matter. (To be continued......)
