After going out, without any hesitation, Lin Jinxiu first took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped off the cow's blood stuck to his hands.

Although the blood on her hands was wiped dry, she was covered in blood, and she still looked full of evil spirit, as if she had just come out of a slaughterhouse.

Lin Jinxiu swaggered through the market like this, walked directly to the vicinity of the mansion, bypassed the courtyard wall to find a corner where no one was around, and took out the piccolo that Huai Yanqing gave her.

When Huai Yanqing, who was inside the mansion, was reading the papers, there was a sudden sound of birds outside the window.

This burst of bird calls is actually not abrupt, because the weather is warmer at this time, and the birds are gradually coming out of the nest.

But Huai Yanqing read a message to be passed on to him in this burst of bird calls.

"The girl who was robbed as a concubine by Yan Shaoqiang, her sweetheart is a cook."

After a while, another voice came from the previous words.

"It's my senior brother."

As soon as he heard this message, it was from Lin Jinxiu, and Qin Shuyao, who couldn't understand the code, looked at Huai Yanqing, waiting for him to translate the matter.

"The sweetheart of the salt merchant's daughter is a cook, and the shopkeeper can reach him." This is the result of Huai Yanqing's summary.

"Cook......" Qin Shuyao fell into thought.

If you are a cook, then you can do a lot of things, after all, people eat whole grains.

But to what extent he can only know after asking Lin Jinxiu.

After all, Qin Shuyao and they don't know how to cook.

"There's new news from the Jing family." Qin Shuyao thought about the chef for a while, and it was better to go back and discuss it with Lin Jinxiu, so he changed the topic,

"My people investigated and found that about a month ago, their family seems to have bought a murderer to assassinate Yan Shao."

"But it is clear that the assassination was unsuccessful, and it is reported that the assassin did not return."

"Probably disposed of."

Qin Shuyao was talking, and suddenly a very noisy sound came from outside.

"What's going on?" Huai Yanqing asked.

The two glanced at each other, and suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition.

In the blink of an eye, Tanaka Jing pushed the door in, without even knocking.

"My lord, it's not good." Gu Zhongjing's expression was very serious, "Lord Thorn Shi said that the real murderer of Yan Shao has been caught." ”

"What?"

The news came as a surprise.

They are still investigating, where did Yu Lixing find the real culprit?

At the entrance of the palace, two officials escorted a person who looked like an attendant, and they were walking on the stone road to the prison.

Seeing Qin Shuyao come out, Yu Jianshi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Qin Shuyao.

"Lord Qin had a good rest last night?"

Qin Shuyao frowned, not knowing what he meant.

That thorn Shi's face was full of pride, this time Qin Shuyao was about to admit it, the real culprit that Qin Shuyao didn't investigate actually let him investigate it, can it prove that his ability is stronger than Qin Shuyao?

If the result of this case reaches the head of the Yan family, in the ears of that great farmer, I am afraid that he will be promoted to become rich!

But Qin Shuyao always felt that something was wrong, and he just secretly poked out some eyebrows, what did this assassin do so that he could find the real murderer?

Speaking of the real murderers......

Qin Shuyao set his eyes on that person.

I saw that the guard-like man was full of horror, as if he didn't know what was happening, and the whole person looked like he was enveloped in great fear, and his mouth kept shouting:

"The little one obviously didn't do anything! Why did you arrest me? ”

"Now all the evidence points to you." The assassin who was standing on the side sneered, "It's useless for you to quibble, you are the real murderer who killed Yan Shao!" ”

"Yan Shao? What Yan Shao? When the attendant-looking man heard that he was the real murderer of Yan Shao, the whole person panicked even more, "I don't know Yan Shao at all!" Why kill him? ”

"Hmph, that's a hard mouth!" Seeing that this attendant did not let go, "Come on, throw this person into the prison for me, I don't believe it, can he not let go after a few days?" ”

The attendant was dragged away, and his desperate shout echoed throughout the palace: "Your Excellency! ”

"The villain is wronged!!"

The terrible shouts continued for a long time, until the man was imprisoned and could no longer be heard.

"Something is wrong." Huai Yanqing only said these four words.

"Hmm." Qin Shuyao nodded in response.

What happened next was naturally unexpected, and Yu Lixing put the evidence he had collected in front of Qin Shuyao for him to review.

He himself went back and forth between prisons every day, tortured to extract confessions, trying to make the man relentless and admit that he was the real murderer.

Qin Shuyao looked at the documents that Yu Lixing had sorted out.

Whether it was the timing and whereabouts of this person to buy the rat medicine, or the person's movements at the time, the people he had contacted, and he also found the clothes of the guards in Tongque Terrace when he went to Tongque Terrace to poison him.

Although this one completely denied that these things were his, it was found from his home after all.

Someone in Tongquetai also confirmed that he had indeed seen this person in and out of Tongquetai that day.

It can be said that there are all kinds of human and material evidence, and all the evidence points to this person.

The reason for killing Yan Shao is also very simple, the wife of this attendant is also one of the people who has been harassed by Yan Shao.

But the attendant himself didn't seem to know about it, and it was precisely because he claimed that he hadn't even heard of Yan Shao's name that it was even more suspicious.

After all, a family industry as big as Yan Shao, in this state capital, it is really not credible to say that he doesn't know him.

But Qin Shuyao didn't believe that he did it.

It is precisely because all the evidence is so conclusive that it seems to be deliberate.

"This man was falsely accused." Although Qin Shuyao couldn't be sure, he still made a bold guess, thinking that his guess was actually exchanged for Huai Yanqing's nod.

"The former shopkeeper said it when he talked to me about solving the case." Huai Yanqing touched his chin, not realizing that this was Lin Jinxiu's action when he was thinking.

"Because human memory is limited, the brain will inadvertently delete the memories that people don't need and leave the ones they need most."

When recalling Lin Jinxiu's words, Huai Yanqing obviously spoke a little intermittently.

Because she used modern terminology when she said this, he could only understand it in Lin Jinxiu's explanation.

Qin Shuyao listened carefully.

"We usually seem to see someone, what we had for breakfast the day before yesterday, this kind of question, unless it is a very memorable experience, will be automatically filtered out under normal circumstances."

Huai Nianqing gestured with his chin to the document in front of Qin Shuyao: "Why do I think this testimony is strange? ”

"Because I have a question."

"In a place like Tongquetai, I don't know how many people will come in and out in a day, and the attendant is unknown."

"Why would the guards of the Bronze Bird Terrace insist that it must be that person? After all, that was nearly a month ago. ”

Qin Shuyao heard what Huai Yanqing wanted to say: "So, you want to say that a lot of the evidence in this document may be fake?" ”

Huai Yanqing shook his head: "I'm not sure it's all fake, but I'm sure there must be something wrong with this evidence." ”

"The real murderer will definitely not be the squire."

Qin Shuyao also felt the same.

Originally, this case was complicated enough, whether it was the collusion between officials and businessmen or the pressure from above, it was not easy to get myself out of the concealed things, but now there are new changes.

Who is trying to blame this innocent man?

Is it the real culprit or someone else?

Now that he couldn't say anything clearly, Qin Shuyao decided to personally meet the arrested attendant.

If this charge was really planted on the head of this attendant, then he would definitely lose his head.

In order not to kill innocent people by mistake, Qin Shuyao was determined to restore the truth of the matter.

……

After Lin Jinxiu returned to the academy after delivering the news, he was always a little absent-minded.

Thankfully, she had done all her homework and didn't hold back the other three, and even her team got the best results.

However, Lin Jinxiu was also kind, knowing that today's results were not her efforts, so she distributed all the rewards given by the master to the remaining three people, and she herself quickly returned home.

Zhao Kang didn't know what happened to Lin Jinxiu today, but he didn't ask much, just sent Lin Jinxiu back home and told her to have a good rest.

Lin Jinxiu knew that Zhao Kang was concerned about herself, and told Zhao Kang that she was okay before entering the door, but she had some concerns about the case and needed to communicate with Qin Shuyao and them.

Zhao Kang also knew about this case, Lin Jinxiu was more involved than him, and Qin Shuyao's trust in Lin Jinxiu made him very pleased.

This sister of mine is much more promising than herself.

After Zhao Kang left, Lin Jinxiu waited anxiously for Huai Yanqing and them to return in the dining room, but after the two of them came back, they told Lin Jinxiu the news that someone had blamed an innocent person.

"What?" Lin Jinxiu only heard a few words and knew that there must be something wrong with the matter, "Is he a pig in the assassin history?" I can see that something is wrong, and he can't see it? ”

Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao did not speak, but kept looking at Lin Jinxiu.

Looking at it, Lin Jinxiu understood.

It cannot come out of their mouths, and if it is spread without evidence, it is slander.

"Do you suspect that he had other reasons for doing so? Maybe it's whose money is collected" Lin Jinxiu, as a small citizen, naturally said whatever he wanted.

Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

Now Lin Jinxiu can understand, in fact, this time Qin Shuyao decided the case, and the trouble was not the murder itself, but these own people who were corrupt and bribery.

"Brother Yao, it's really time for the people under your command to investigate." Lin Jinxiu didn't believe it at first, there would be such a situation under an official like Qin Shuyao.

But then I thought about it, working under a clean official like Qin Shuyao who was upright and did not accept bribes, it was estimated that he would not be able to make any money.

That is to say, Qin Shuyao's existence is, to a certain extent, a way to cut off people's money.

It's no wonder that some people have always wanted to remove him from power.

Lin Jinxiu suddenly understood a little.

It's really hard to be an official!

"So what now?" Lin Jinxiu asked Huai Yanqing and them, "If that assassin has always insisted, you can't help but be promoted to this hall." ”

But if he is promoted, that attendant is definitely a capital offense.
