Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Pleasant Conversation

After a brief recollection, he continued, "It seems that he was discussing something like an article, because that Zhang Xiucai didn't want to resonate, so it should be quite normal to discuss things like articles, I didn't think much about it at the time, although it was quite late, but nothing happened, and I didn't leave directly without being careful." ”

These words directly made Shen Lian's heart start to think about it, even if she hadn't said anything yet, she already had some thoughts.

Seeing that she didn't say anything about this, but lowered her head and was silent, not knowing what she was thinking, Yin Chen answered and began to speak.

"Can you see his own figure and appearance clearly?" After a brief recall, Wang Sheng replied, "Although I only saw a back, it can be determined that it is a man, and the tall and thin person and that Zhang Xiucai should know each other, otherwise the two of them would not have a good conversation." ”

After hearing these words, Yin Chen also nodded thoughtfully and began to connect some of the clues they currently had in their possession.

But the county magistrate standing on the side was still confused about this matter, and he didn't have any opinions, and he also thought that maybe the case would not be solved.

After a brief inquiry, Wang Sheng had no way to continue to provide more useful clues, so they left first.

However, after walking out, Shen Lian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, talking about the clues they had so far, as well as some of her personal analysis.

"The person also said just now that the person who went to Zhang Xiucai's library was a man, and the two talked very happily, it seems that they should know each other, and the people who have a better relationship are acquaintances."

"What might it mean?" The county commander sighed, "Zhang Sheng himself said that he didn't see the person's appearance clearly, he just saw the back, and he could be sure that it was a man and quite young, tall and thin, other than that, there were no other clues at all, how could he determine who this person was?" "Glancing at him, Shen Lian felt quite helpless in his heart, he really didn't know how he came to be this Xie Ling, he couldn't even figure out this question, he was really stupid!" The two of them had a good conversation, and they started discussing it on the article, which means that this person should be the murderer, when we went to Zhang Xiucai's bookstore, all the papers and other things in it were all over the ground, it should be that they suddenly had an argument, and then started to do it. ”

Regarding her speculation, Yin Chen nodded in agreement.

"That's right, and since they're talking about articles, it's more likely that this person is Wang Meng, because the two of them have gained fame together, and there will definitely be some ideas in this regard, maybe the two of them don't know what kind of contradiction arose between them later, so they started to do it."

However, at present, they still have a problem, even if the head of the analysis is Dao, it sounds quite reasonable, but they have not seen the real face of the person who entered Zhang Xiucai's library, so there is no way to determine Wang Meng at all.

This is also what makes Shen Lian feel a little headache.

Suddenly, Yin Chenmao suddenly opened his mouth and thought of a particularly important place.

He boldly guessed, "Could it be because two people had a conflict because of the article, and they made a big move?" Shen Lian was a little puzzled by him repeating such a point of view.

"We've already discussed just now that it's possible to disagree because of the article, and then fight, but the possibility of this is too small, it's impossible for two people to disagree because of a certain point of view, and then suddenly get emotional and kill each other, it's a bit unlikely."

Shen Lian's eyes sank, and then he opened them, and his eyes radiated a wise light.

"As far as I know, in ancient times, you needed to write an essay of your own as a final review."

Hearing her words, Yin Chen was a little confused.

"Ancient?" After being reminded by him like this, Shen Lian realized that what he just said didn't seem to fit the current scene a little, and hurriedly explained.

"I mean, don't you need to submit an essay that you have prepared in advance as the final assessment when you take the test to gain fame?" After hearing this, Yin Chen nodded.

"That's true, there's nothing wrong with that."

After answering, he immediately realized the meaning of Shen Lian's words, and hurriedly said, "So you're saying that Wang Meng and Zhang Xiucai quarreled over this article, and Zhang Xiucai died in the end, right?" ”

"Nope."

Shen Lian's face became serious.

"It's not that simple, I suspect it's very likely that Wang Meng snatched Zhang Xiucai's article and then killed him."

This speculation is not unreasonable, because there is indeed a lot of paper on the ground, that is, it is possible that the murderer turned the paper after killing someone and then fell to the ground.

Maybe it was because he was too panicked and scared, or because he was worried that someone else would come to find him, so he fled the scene in a hurry.

Now all the problems are pointed at Wang Meng, but the most important point is that no one can prove that he was the one who went to Zhang Xiucai's library at that time.

Even if the person who fights the watch does see a back, a person who is very similar to him, he can't be sure that that person is Wang Meng.

So if you want to be sure that this person is him, you have to find some other evidence to prove it.

However, it may be a bit difficult to find witnesses, after all, it was late at night, and there were not many people going out, so it was already a good thing to have a hit with your old man.

Therefore, it can only be pointed out from some evidence, or it can be judged in time.

If there is evidence that can be directly proven, then even Wang Meng's lies will not help, and there is no need to check the timeline at all.

But if there is no evidence, it can only be judged that he is lying by saying that he has been staying at home last night and has not come out to judge him for lying.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the county magistrate began to make trouble, and he didn't know what to do next.

"But if this person is really killed by the king, then it will be troublesome, no one has seen it, he came out last night, and he has been staying at home all the time, even the only person who is on the watch outside only sees one person, but the face is not seen, and he can't be sure that the person is him."

In this case, there is no evidence in between, and even if you want to find a witness, it is almost impossible.

But if Wang Meng is really the murderer, then how can he confess everything? I will definitely insist on staying at home and not going out.

And Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, who are neighbors, happen to be able to prove it directly to him, which is difficult to overturn.

Later, they went to Zhang Xiucai's mother's house, which was proposed by Shen Lian, because she thought of a very important place and had to verify it.

After I went, I didn't have time to ask directly.

"Has your son ever told you about him writing articles?" After hearing this question, Zhang Xiucai's mother lowered her head and pondered for a while, after all, she was old, and she didn't know anything about it, so she definitely needed to remember it well.

Soon she thought of something her son said to herself, but she didn't know if they asked, so don't say it directly.

"It's true that he said that it was like an exam or something, and it needed to be written in advance, and he pondered it for a long time, and every time he came back for dinner, he had to sit there alone and think about it repeatedly."

After receiving this answer, the three of them soon returned to Zhang Xiucai's bookstore again.

Since there is an article, then they will look for it and see if they can find it, if they can't find it, then they must have been taken away by the murderer.

Then it can basically be judged that this matter was done by Wang Meng, if the article can be found in his house, this matter is already a certainty, no matter how he quibbles, there is no way to clear his charges.
