In the end, the few inkstones smashed out, along with the ink-black pen holder, are the same, and there are thousands of years inside.

Pei Qingqing counted on the side and said, "Four ink inkstones, three pen holders, add up to a little heavy." ”

Of course, that weight is nothing to her, but according to the gold, it should be a lot of money, and she can buy a few rooms of sugar cakes! Really, when I think of this, it makes my mouth flow out.

Everything the little girl thought was written on her face, Qiao Ran rubbed her head, and pondered the heavy gold objects in front of her.

Just as the little official who took care of the evidence said: "Look at this Xue Huai's clothes, which are distributed by the Guozijian all year round, he definitely doesn't look like a person with so much money on his body." ”

Previously, when investigating the Que Lou case, they also investigated the relationship between Xue Huai and the Huaiguo Mansion, and the conclusion was very cold, but it was a matter of face. The Huaiguo Mansion said that he would ask him to go to the account office to get the money himself, but Xue Huai was arrogant and arrogant, and felt that the Huaiguo Mansion was "charity" for him, and he rarely withdrew money from the account office of the Guogong Mansion.

The money he used on a daily basis was all earned by painting in the studio or copying books on behalf of the studio.

The money obtained from this is not much, and it is very difficult to live on weekdays.

Well...... Constrained, Qiao Ran lowered her eyes and looked at these pure gold inkstone pen holders, and at this time, thinking of the results of the previous investigation, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

As a suspect and a victim, can Xue Huai still find out two different people at the same time?

Qiao Ran picked up the painting paint scattered on the side again, this paint is not the best, it can only be regarded as medium, when he checked Xue Huai, he found that he almost didn't need any money in his life, and used all the money to buy painting utensils, and he was shy in his pocket, and within the scope of his ability, there was no problem in choosing medium-grade paints.

This is also the reason why she did not suspect the things about Xue Huai that she found out before.

Judging from the external performance and the objects used on Xue Huai's body, everything found was reasonable.

Now that others are dead, this smash is "unreasonable".

Obviously there is so much money, why do you still show that to the outside world?

Qiao Ran said to the little official who was in charge of the physical evidence, and took Xue Huai's bag of things to Zhen Shiyuan.

When several pure gold ink inkstones and pen holders were placed in front of Zhen Shiyuan one by one, Zhen Shiyuan's face changed slightly, pointed to the ink inkstone and pen holder, and asked her, "This is Xue Huai's?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded.

Zhen Shiyuan still seemed to be a little incredulous, and even picked up one of the ink inkstones and looked at it for a while, before putting it back on the table, looking at Qiao Ran, and said, "You say...... Why is this person ...... Xue Huai?"

He didn't finish his sentence, and sometimes the person listening to him understood what he meant.

Obviously, the girl in front of her understood the meaning of his words.

If you look up a person, will you find out that a person has changed halfway?

"This man simply peels back layer after layer." Zhen Shiyuan knocked on the table, had a headache, and said, "It's really weird!" ”

If these were found during the investigation of the Que Lou case before, I am afraid that the whole person would have to go around it.

However, just in case, Zhen Shiyuan still asked more: "Xue Huai's situation should have nothing to do with the Que Lou case!" ”

Qiao Ran shook his head and said, "The clues of the Que Lou case are all clear and clear, and the matter should have nothing to do with Xue Huai." ”

Zhen Shiyuan let out an "oh", his eyes fell on the row of gold objects on the table again, he stared at the row of gold objects and was silent for a while, then looked up and asked Qiao Ran: "Then Xue Huai's matter still needs to be investigated?" ”

"If it has nothing to do with the copper plate, then check." The girl said to Zhen Shiyuan, stretched out her hand and pointed to her forehead, and said, "My lord, Xue Huai did not die from drowning, but from this blow on the head." ”

Zhen Shiyuan nodded casually and looked at her: Isn't this nonsense that everyone knows? Why do you want to stress it again and again?

"He didn't die when he hit the head, and he was still awake." After a pause, Qiao Ran said, "Otherwise, it is impossible to survive in the water." ”

"I'm thinking that if Xue Huai's death has nothing to do with the copper plate, then the person who gave him a visit before may not know that he is the murderer." When the girl said this, the expression on her face became subtle, and she said, "So on the way here, I actually thought of another possibility, and I was able to explain the matter." ”

After hearing her say, "There is another possibility", Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Tell me about it." ”

The girl nodded and spoke slowly.

"That day, Xue Huai detoured to the old east gate, there must have been something else to make an appointment with someone, but I don't know why, he had an argument with the person who made an appointment with him, and even pushed and shoved under the dispute."

"In the process of pushing, Xue Huai fell and was injured."

Then the man left, because Xue Huai didn't have an accident immediately, because neither he nor the man, nor the coachman or the servant noticed anything. As a result, Xue Huai ran into the person who led him to swallow the copper plate again, perhaps because he sensed that the danger was approaching," Qiao Ran said this, pausing slightly, but the danger was unspeakable at the moment.

However, if it was the kind of danger they thought, a smart and vigilant person like Xue Huai would definitely find a way to escape.

"Later, because he was in a hurry to avoid urging the coachman to hurry, the carriage skidped, hit the bridge, and overturned into the river."

This speculation can also explain the whole thing.

Zhen Shiyuan listened, his eyes sank: "If this is what happened, then the death of the coachman and the little guy was an accident." ”

"It's because of the death of the coachman and the little maid that we can't speculate why Xue Huai took a detour to the old east gate that day, so compared to this unexpected speculation, I think there will be another possibility." The girl said, glancing at Zhen Shiyuan, "Could it be that the truth of everything is just the opposite, the death of the coachman and the little guy who have always been thought to be accidental deaths is not an accident, and Xue Huai's death is an accident caused by unintentional pushing." ”

Zhen Shiyuan instinctively patted his head, and he was a little confused.

For a while, the three of them were accidents, and for a while the coachman and the little guy were accidents, and Xue Huai was murder, but now she said that Xue Huai was an accident, and the coachman and the little guy were murders.

Others are already confused.

But any master investigator has a much richer imagination than ordinary people, because many times it is necessary to speculate on the possible events based on the existing clues.

But sometimes, not everyone has this ability to create things out of thin air, and many times listening to her speculation is like reading a book of whimsical words.

"That's it, this case has been handed over to you." Zhen Shiyuan waved his hand, held his forehead, and said a little weakly, "You can do it yourself!" I'll give you Tang Zhongyuan...... No, Tang Zhongyuan was transferred away by Xu Hexiu, I still assigned Pingzhuang to you to help you do things. ”

The young juniors he values are so sought-after, it's really a headache.

"Wait until you're done investigating and then tell me what happened to the case." Zhen Shiyuan stood up as he spoke, glanced at her faintly, and his expression was a little more solemn, "Compared to Xue Huai's case, the case of Yuanheng Qianzhuang has been dragging on for a long time. ”

In fact, it didn't drag on for long, and before that, it was normal for a case to be handled for half a year or a year, and there were even many cases that took ten years to handle.

But since she came to Dali Temple, the case has been handled quickly.

Of course, this is a good thing. Facts have proved that within half a month to a month after the case occurs, it is the time when there are the most evidence and clues, and many evidence and clues will disappear as the case drags on.

From this point of view, the faster the case is handled, the more it can be guaranteed that it will not become an unsolved case.

Qiao Ran let out an "oh", looked at the sky outside, and said, "It's time." ”

It's time to place a value.

She's always been the most active.

However, the case was handled well, and there is nothing to say.

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her, shouted "Wait", and then turned out a map of Kanyu from a stack of books and files piled up on the table, handed it over, and said, "The topographic map of the old east gate, you can take it back and see it yourself!" ”

……

When you go home, you have to take Kanyu with you, this Lord Zhen is really a strict peak.

Pei Qingqing nagged all the way and returned home with Qiao Ran.

In the past, the red beans who were waiting at the door early did not wait for them at the door as before, and no one even responded to knocking on the door.

Seeing this, Pei Qingqing simply flipped over the wall, and then opened the door for Qiao Ran.

When the two of them walked to the hall, they knew why Hongdou didn't come to open the door.

There was a stack of notebooks on the table in the room, and when they entered, Fang Xiuting was reading the contents of the book for the red beans.

"What a book is so good!" Pei Qingqing shouted seriously with a small face, "You didn't open the door to Miss Qiao and me!" ”

Hongdou was startled when he said this, his face changed slightly, and his eyes were relieved when he saw Qiao Ran, and then he lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Miss, the slave and maid forgot ......the book for a while."

Qiao Ran didn't care about this, the walls on the left and right sides of the house were not high, even if she didn't bring Pei Qingqing, she couldn't climb it herself, or she just worked hard.

"Slave and maid, let's go to the kitchen to heat the meal." After admitting his mistake, Red Bean hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

The meal was prepared early in the morning, but it was cold, and the meal was cold quickly, and it needed to be reheated every time it was served.

Qiao Ran nodded and picked up the notebook on the table.

Fang Xiuting, the initiator who was holding the book on the side, said: "This is the most popular book of words these days except for the one written by Miss Xu Shi, which tells the story of a scholar who got a magic pen." ”

"The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Pen".

The name of this book has already been mentioned by Zhang Xie once, and Qiao Ran is rarely interested, so she took the book and flipped through it.

Fang Xiuting saw that she was interested, so she said a few more words: "Although the "Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush" in this Sande Bookstore is not as good as yours, it is also very good-looking. ”

Why didn't she find the book so beautiful before? It's just that after discovering it, the few copper plates in the pocket were sent in.

Qiao Ran only read a page, and couldn't help but ask Fang Xiuting: "This book is about a story about a scholar who gets a magic pen and uses a magic pen to live a proud life?" ”

Probably because of the old problem, I just read the first page and began to speculate about the future direction. There are too many cases to investigate, and there are some such problems.

Hearing her ask this, Fang Xiuting, who had already read "The Legend of the Scholar's Divine Brush", thought seriously for a while before saying, "It seems that you can't say that." ”

Qiao Ran let out a "huh" and looked at her: What do you mean?

Fang Xiuting said: "At the beginning, it was indeed the down-and-out scholar who got a magic pen, that magic pen can draw by himself, and he also wrote a good hand or something, the first few volumes of "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Pen" were all written by the scholar with a magic pen, and the words written made friends with powerful characters, and won the hearts of beauties. ”

She said how many volumes were there before? Could it be that it will change its flavor later?

Qiao Ran sat down on the embroidery stool and waited for Fang Xiuting to continue.

"Today's new book is not quite the same as the previous one," Fang Xiuting said and found out the new "Biography of the Scholar's Divine Pen", flipped through it, and said, "Originally, the scholar asked the divine pen to draw whatever the divine pen painted, and the scholar asked the divine pen to write whatever he wanted, but in the previous volume, it was said that the divine pen began to listen to the scholar's painting, the scholar asked the divine pen to paint landscapes, but the divine pen drew characters, the scholar asked the divine pen to write birthday greetings, but the divine pen wrote scolding words, and the scholar also offended the ......adults who were optimistic about him."

didn't expect such a twist, Qiao Ran had a little more interest in her eyes, and asked Fang Xiuting: "And then?" ”

"And then there's a new one." Fang Xiuting spread her hands and flipped to the last page of the latest volume and pointed to her, "It's already written." But this last volume looks weird.,Didn't the previous volume say that the magic pen began to be disobedient? This volume said that the magic pen was just a temporary failure, and it was good, the scholar apologized to everyone and the adults who were optimistic about him, and finally won the hearts of everyone's young ladies and became the adult's fast son-in-law, and since then he has soared. ”

"How did you suddenly become like this?" When Qiao Ran heard this, she said strangely, "If it is according to the direction of the previous volume, shouldn't you ask the scholar to spit back all the benefits of the magic pen?" ”

"yes!" Fang Xiuting said, also with an emotional look, "Many people are chasing this book, and when a new volume comes out, many people are scolding this scholar for being a thief, stealing the words and paintings of the magic pen, how can he still soar?" Because of this, many people went to "Sande Bookstore" to throw vegetable leaves or something to protest! ”

When they went to buy books, they saw a few people throwing stones into the "Sande Bookstore" and cursing.

Speaking of this, Fang Xiuting pursed her lips and said: "It's all a book to see the devil, it's just a made-up story, and as a result, there are people who want to find out the person who wrote the "Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush" and ask him to write a new one." ”

When Qiao Ran heard this, she couldn't help but glance at the lower right corner of "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush".

The book's signature is: Jia Shusheng.

Fake scholars? This pen name is reminiscent of the "Biography of the Scholar" he wrote, and I always feel that the person who wrote the book is a very interesting person.

"Then find out Scholar Jia," Qiao Ran said, "The owner of the bookstore should know about this Scholar Jia!" Everyone outside protested like this, so it was better to ask him to persuade Jia Shusheng to write another one. This book is so popular, he can not only make everyone feel comfortable, but also make more money for a book, the owner of this bookstore should be willing! ”

Although books are not mundane things, the owner of the bookstore is essentially a businessman.

The ready-made opportunity was here, and Qiao Ran couldn't think of a reason why he would refuse.

"The owner of the bookstore naturally wants to find Na Jia Scholar to re-write," Fang Xiuting couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and said, "But I heard that Na Jia Scholar didn't want to write it, saying that he was too tired to write these books, and he wanted to leave the capital and go to other places." ”

This book is so popular, Qiao Ran counted the stack of books in his hand, there are as many as seven or eight, well, it seems that this Jia Shusheng has indeed made a lot of money.

Enough for him to go somewhere else.
