At that time, it was also Xiaoshu's share that was used to deceive Zhang Qiang. When Xiao Shu recited the text, I also carefully compared it with the transcription in my hand, and the words were the same, and the score was exactly the same.

In other words, the transcript is indeed an article written by a small tree.

Then, the handwritten scroll of the so-called Xiaoshu that was recited by the stick and posted on the outer wall of the Gongyuan on the day of the Zhang Bang......

I suddenly realized that the so-called handwritten scroll with hidden anti-characters, as the key evidence in this case, was destroyed by the troublesome students, and I had never seen it.

I looked down and thought for a while, and suddenly I realized something in my heart.

Previously, due to Feng Sheng's strange death, I have been focusing my investigation on the early stage of the examination, suspecting that someone had infiltrated Xiaoshu's prison and secretly altered his papers; was also suspicious of Feng Sheng, and as a transcriptionist, he did something on Xiaoshu's test paper......

Now it seems that it is really the opposite of the opposite.

Girl, I stood still thinking for a while, then turned around and walked in the direction of Yingtianfu.

In my previous life, when I was still young, I watched a Japanese detective drama called "Detective Galileo", and now I don't remember the plot, the only thing that impresses me is that one of them is a handsome physics teacher named Yukawa Gaku, who said coolly with messy hair and wise glasses:

"All phenomena must have a reason."

At that time, I was in the prime of my cardamom and youth, and I was a budding and ignorant girl's heart, and I was provoked not to want it.

Now that I think about it, it's just nonsense.

But in the detective dramas of the previous life, there are many such seemingly cool but nonsense quotes, such as Conan's familiar sentence "There is only one truth", which also poked the hearts of thousands of girls.

But these nonsense and famous sayings also warn us: don't be deceived by some superficial phenomena, mindsets and illusions deliberately created by opponents, because the truth is often hidden in the least noticeable place.

For example, in my previous life, not long before I crossed over, my father, who was the deputy mayor of Nanjing at the time, was unfortunately involved in a bizarre group poisoning incident.

At that time, a primary school in Nanjing suddenly broke out of a large-scale food poisoning incident: more than 100 primary school students had abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms after using the milk provided by the school during recess, and several serious ones were even life-threatening.

As soon as this incident came out, it aroused widespread concern from all walks of life, and even alarmed the main departments of the province, demanding that Nanjing City strictly investigate the root cause of the poisoning incident. As a city leader in charge of food and drug safety, my father naturally has a great responsibility.

However, the strange thing is that from the source of milk to the milk company, and then to the supermarket where it is sold, a series of strict inspections have not found any problems.

In the face of the pressure from superiors, the attention of public opinion, and the accusations of more than 100 families of primary school students, my father was pointed at for a while, and his reputation plummeted. Public opinion believes that because of his involvement in the poisoning incident, he will no longer be able to compete for the post of mayor of Nanjing.

It wasn't until five days later that a senior chemistry teacher gave his own inference on the Internet based on the symptoms of the student's poisoning, which happened to attract the attention of the reporter girl, me, so he provided this information to the helpless father, and finally found the initiator of the poisoning.

The initiator, very unexpectedly, was the truck driver who went to school to deliver milk that day.

Later, according to his confession, he studied in this school when he was a child, and was treated unfairly by teachers, which caused a psychological shadow, and when he grew up, he caused a distortion of his three views.

When he found out that the supermarket he worked for had to deliver milk to the school every day, he thought about revenge.

Through covert channels, he bought poisonous gases used for mass spraying of insects and sprayed them in the wagons that carried milk. The toxic substance then adheres to the surface of the milk bag.

When the milk is delivered to the students, they often drink it directly from the bag, and the toxic substances attached to the bag are swallowed into the stomach, causing poisoning.

At that time, I was struck by this truth: the truth is often in places you don't expect.

I don't know if my dad succeeded in the election...... I can't help but worry about my dad in another world. If he suddenly finds that his precious daughter has evaporated from the world, he is afraid that he will be heartbroken, where else can he think......

I was sitting on the stone well railing in the courtyard thinking nonsense, when I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps at the door, accompanied by Li Lei's unique loud voice: "Leng girl! Fortunately, it is not disgraceful! โ€

I hurriedly got up to greet him: "Can you find out?" โ€

"I sent someone to check on the few things you told me." He sat down on the stone bench familiarly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Let's talk about the Zhang family first." This Zhang Qiang is not the princess's younger brother. โ€

"Oh? Could it be that he is an illegitimate child?"

"Not really. Zhang Qiang's mother was not from a high background, she was Zhang Shangshu's personal maid, but she was later infected by Zhang Shangshu and became pregnant, so she was raised to be an aunt. It's just that I heard that this aunt is not high but very arrogant, relying on Zhang Shangshu's favor, she often does some things to restrain her, which makes the eldest lady, that is, the princess's mother, unhappy, and even dislikes Zhang Qiang. โ€

"The eldest lady doesn't like it, and the crown princess shouldn't pay much attention ......to this concubine's younger brother Zhang Qiang."

Hearing me mutter, Li Lei immediately answered: "That's ah!" The crown princess has her own brother Zhang Wei, and she has a younger brother Zhang Zhuo, how can she care about this younger brother Zhang Qiang? โ€

That's strange, unless you ...... "Zhang Shangshu himself, what is his attitude towards Zhang Qiang?" โ€

Li Lei shook his head and sighed: "Zhang Shangshu has six sons and three daughters under his knees, Zhang Qiang is not only a concubine, but also has dull qualifications and will not come to trouble, Zhang Shangshu has never been interested in this son, listening to the people of Zhang's house, Zhang Shangshu has scolded Zhang Qiang in public more than once for having no talent and no gain, and this life is mediocre." โ€

The corners of my forehead are black: This Zhang Qiang is really a little pitiful because my grandmother doesn't love my uncle and doesn't love it.

That's strange: Miss Zhang, the crown princess, has never liked Zhang Qiang, why is she willing to risk the world's disapproval and take the risk to do something for him?

This love is too broad and selfless......

"Another thing, the senior old locksmith you are looking for, I also found it."

"Oh?" I bounced to my feet and said, "Take me to meet him." โ€

According to Li Lei, this Nie Ji lock shop in the west of the city is the most senior time-honored brand in Jinling City, and if his family ranks second, no one dares to call it first.

Along the way, Li Lei babbled to me about the third thing I entrusted him to do, and I listened to it without a match, but there was always a bit of heaviness in my heart, as if I had a lock on my heart.

When I came to Nie Kee's lock shop, I relied on my memory to describe the appearance of the big copper lock on the storage cabinet of Hengjian Hall, and showed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and invited us to sit in the main hall for a while, and opened the curtain and entered the inner room.

Li Leizheng told me that Ying Tianfu is too prestigious, and even a locksmith's shop dares to give him a cold spot, but when he saw the shopkeeper go and come back, he respectfully invited a white-haired elder.

This old man has a flowing white beard on his chest, and he seems to be the same age as my master, the old Taoist, but he is obviously a senior craftsman, with a lean body and a bright eye.

"You drew this lock?" The old man pinched my sketch and looked me up and down, "Who are the two?"

Seeing that I hesitated, Li Lei said: "I am here to investigate a case in response to the arrest of Tianfu. โ€

The old man twisted his long beard and said leisurely: "I'm afraid that I will try a case of fraud." โ€

As soon as he said this, I was immediately surprised, so I got up and bowed to the old man and said, "The old man is as wise as a torch, and he must know this lock." โ€

The old man bowed slightly, looked down at the pattern's eyes, and sighed a little more: "Naturally...... This is the old man's proud work, speaking of which, I haven't seen it for twenty years. โ€

The tone was like talking about a child who had not returned for many years.

I sighed: "The old-timers are wonderful, this lock is unique and unforgettable, it can be described as ...... Unique. โ€

Girl, I've never thought about praising a lock, and I'm really a bit of a word.

The old man glanced at me, and obviously saw that I was a layman, "My brass inverted pillow lock, weighing twelve taels and seven inches long, is in the shape of a tortoiseshell, and is engraved with three groups of nine lotus flowers of different shapes. The turtle is the symbol of the official seal, and the carved lotus flower means "Lianjia Dengke" and "Lianzhong Sanyuan"; โ€

As the old man spoke, I nodded busily, I didn't expect a big copper lock to be so exquisite.

The old man continued to immerse himself in the memories of his precious lock: "Back then, the old man was invited by Lord Huang, the head of the Gongyuan Academy, to make a lock for his newly made storage cabinet. Lord Huang is an elegant person, and everything big and small is particular about individual ingenuity, so I made this lock especially for him. Is it still in the Hall of Constant Knowledge? โ€

I replied, "I am still on the locker, guarding the splendid articles of the students." โ€

The old man twisted his beard and his head, and with a look of relief, he took out a small copper lock from his sleeve and handed it to me, "I don't know what the two officials want to ask, but I have made this sample in my spare time, and it is the same as the one on the locker. โ€

I hurriedly took it respectfully, and subconsciously wanted to take the key to open the lock, but I couldn't open it after a few stabs.

Li Lei leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you dazzled?" The keyhole is clearly on the other side. โ€

"Oh?" I held the small lock in the palm of my hand and raised it between my eyebrows, looking at the keyhole on the left side of the word "taxi", "This small lock is really unusual." โ€

It was night, and I was still sitting at the table, waiting for someone, thinking about my thoughts.

The delicate little lock was placed in front of me, but I stared at the beeping lights, and I was fixedly distracted.

"I sleep so late every day." Behind him, the clear and glutinous voice came, with a bit of doting reproach, "I have broken my body, who is responsible for me?" โ€
