Chapter 57: The Murder of Zhai 7

However, these words reminded everyone, and Li Tuiguan hurriedly said: "Are you saying that the murderer is someone else?" Maybe maybe a woman? ”

"But the rule of our academy is that young women are not allowed to enter! They were all servants doing odd jobs. ”

The mountain chief immediately retorted, this is the rule of the academy.

"Although it is a rule, if it is violated, no one will report it, and I think it will not be investigated." Zhang Fuzi said suddenly.

"If you want to know if there are any young women coming in and out, just ask the gatekeeper and the guard of the back mountain."

Su Yi is so good that it is impossible for people to fly in out of thin air.

Li Tuiguan glanced at Yang Nu, at such an age, presumably the merry Zhu Tian would not be able to look down on her.

He pointed to a servant at random and said, "You go and check, you must find out." ”

"But if that woman, the sky is blue and the sky is white, she dares to walk out of the fasting house? Although it was not yet bright, many students had already gotten up. ”

Zhang Wei thinks this is very risky, this woman is so bold?

"Then what if Senior Brother Zhu died last night?" Su Yizhao looked back at Zhang Wei and said with a smile.

Those extremely outstanding eyes, as if blooming with colorful divine light, firmly attracted his attention.

Zhang Wei was stunned, he had never seen such a beautiful pair of eyes, like bright stars.

"Died last night? But after the inspection, it was said that it was about midnight today. ”

Li Tuiguan was taken aback when he heard this, and said suspiciously.

Su Yizhao took out the handkerchief in his arms, "Please take a look!" ”

Li Tuiguan took it suspiciously, and found that there was a little green trace on the azure handkerchief.

It's like scratching, it's so faint that I can't tell what it is.

He knew that Su Yizhao would not take out this handkerchief for no reason, so he put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

"Huh? This smells familiar! ”

Li Tuiguan wondered where he had smelled this smell, but he thought about it, but he couldn't remember what it was.

He handed the handkerchief in his hand to the mountain chief, who took it and looked at it carefully, and after a moment shook his head.

Zhang Wei looked over and looked thoughtfully.

"This is moss?" After a moment, Zhang Wei asked uncertainly.

Su Yizhao nodded, "Exactly!" ”

"I touched the inkstone and found that the small amount of ink in the inkstone had dried a little, and it should have been the ink I had sharpened last night. The woman must have been here last night, so I think that Senior Brother Zhu's death was mostly related to the woman. ”

Su Yizhao walked next to Zhang Wei as he spoke, and took the handkerchief he had just handed over from him.

"Dare to ask the mountain chief, is there a stream in the mountain behind this academy?" Su Yizhao looked at the mountain chief with a smile, and then his eyes swept over a person.

When the man saw her looking at him, he quickly let go of his grip on the hem of his clothes.

Hearing this, the mountain chief said without thinking: "There is a clear spring in the mountain, there is one from the mountain behind our academy, not far away, and there is a small pond that stores water in the stream. ”

"Although the weather is not cold now, there is a large temperature difference between the mountains at night, especially this mountain spring, the water temperature must be extremely cold, right? If the body is soaked in it, will it delay death? ”

Su Yizhao turned his head to look at the servant, and said, "Master, is what the student said wrong?" ”

I didn't expect Su Yizhao to understand this, but when Su Yizhao said this, he was shocked.

"Not bad! If so, then it is true that the time of death does not correspond to the actual time of death. ”

"But I've already examined the general, and his body is not cold and hard."

He felt that Su Yizhao's guess was wrong, he was a fake, and he knew more about these than Su Yizhao.

"If you push back the clock an hour or two, and before we come, fish the body out of the spring and put it in hot water to soften it for a while, it should be able to mislead your judgment, right?"

He was stunned when he heard this, "If there is only a difference of one or two hours, it is indeed possible to mislead me." ”

"This thing was wiped off Senior Brother Zhu's hair, which is moss, which usually grows near the water. I think the murderer put it in the spring water and soaked it accidentally on it. It is then put into the fasting house before the end of the day, and then softened with hot water. ”

Everyone was shocked, this modus operandi was really unheard of.

Su Yizhao looked around, with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Li Tuiguan pondered for a moment and said, "Then according to what you say, the time of his death will be pushed forward by an hour or two?" ”

"Exactly! The murderer went to such great lengths to create an alibi. ”

After Su Yizhao said his guess, everyone suddenly realized.

"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Li Tuiguan looked at Su Yizhao and asked with hope in his eyes.

"Naturally, the one who plans everything and has a perfect alibi, Aunt Yang!"

Su Yizhao's eyes sharpened, and then pointed at the pale Yang woman.

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and couldn't help but be surprised.

Yang Nu's heart jumped suddenly, and her eyes looking at Su Yizhao were extremely complicated.

Even the mountain chief was shocked and asked, "How do you know it's her, and what evidence do you have?" ”

"Dare to ask Senior Brother Jiang, when you opened the door this morning and looked here, did you see Senior Brother Zhu with your own eyes?"

As soon as Su Yizhao said this, everyone understood.

Jiang Haosheng hurriedly shook his head, "I glanced at it from a distance, but I didn't see Senior Brother Zhu." But the door was opened from the inside, and the man did not speak. ”

"That's it! will make a big noise, and the murderer must be very familiar with Senior Brother Jiang's daily habits, and he also knows that Senior Brother Jiang sleeps lightly. After waking you up, you will see that the hour is almost up, and you will definitely get up and wash. ”

Jiang Haosheng's face sank when he heard this, he was calculated.

He said clearly: "Even if I don't look at it, when I hear the movement, I must take it for granted that Senior Brother Zhu opened the door." And if you hear a movement and don't respond for a long time, most of them will open the door and take a look. ”

"But you said that the person who opened the door was not Zhu Tian, so who could it be? I'm afraid that there must be an accomplice, right? How else to behave? ”

Zhang Wei immediately thought of the key, which couldn't be explained at all, unless there was an accomplice.

Su Yizhao shook his head, "Naturally, the murderer can't do it alone!" You can send hot water to the house and soak the corpse in it, then you have to help Aunt Yang! ”

"According to your analysis, Yang Nu may be just an accomplice." The mountain chief immediately questioned.

Su Yizhao shook his head, "What if she is an accomplice?" Anyway, she had to carry the corpse and implement the plan. And the mastermind has a lot to do with Aunt Yang. ”

Yang Nu's face was as pale as paper suddenly, but her lips were tightly pursed, and she couldn't say a word.

"Aunt Yang, who was the woman who came to the house last night? What is the relationship between her and Senior Brother Zhu Tian, and what is the relationship between you and her? ”

As soon as Su Yizhao asked, he saw that Aunt Yang's legs suddenly weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.
