Chapter 217

Meng Xing looked around, the houses around them were not very dense, they were a little far apart, although the screams of Ding Hai when he was dying could be heard a little farther in the middle of the night, but the surrounding residents might be much quieter if they heard it while they were asleep.

However, these three people were very diligent in their studies, and they were still sitting in the courtyard reading in the middle of the night.

…… No, it could also be that Ding Haishi knew that the person who instructed him might come to kill him, so he called two companions to study in the courtyard, one was to be bold and fearful, and the other was to scare away the person who instructed him?

I'm afraid he didn't expect that the person who instructed him turned out to be a powerful master, and it was effortless to kill him.

Meng Xing guessed in his heart, imagining the scene at that time.

When they walked into the courtyard, the three bodies were still lying in the courtyard and had not yet been moved.

Meng Xing looked at the three corpses carefully, and as he analyzed, the two students were killed suddenly, but Ding Haishi should have been killed after being interrogated, with a frightened look on his face. The three bodies showed signs of movement, apparently seen by others as well.

Meng Xing looked at the courtyard, this courtyard is not big, there are five trees about two zhang high, some flowers and plants are planted, and a few small stone paths are planted, but they are elegant and chic, which is very suitable for scholars to be vassal.

Meng Xing looked at the book that Ding Hai was reading again, and there were some blood stains on the book, and the blood stains on one of the pages were particularly obvious, obviously he was reading this page at that time.

Meng Xing took a closer look, and one of the words actually had a relatively deep blood mark, which seemed to have been scratched by Ding Haishi's finger before he died.

Zhong Zhutou asked, "Master Meng, have you found anything?" ”

"The word 'zuo' should have been crossed out by Ding Haishi before he died." Meng Xing said.

"This is the word 'composition' for poetry, and he wants to tell us that he regrets writing a poem? Well, Brother Meng, he should have regretted writing your poems. Zhou Jingyun leaned over, glanced at it, and said.

Meng Xing said: "There is this possibility. ”

"It's useless to regret it, even if he was forced, he shouldn't plagiarize your poetry and promote it as if it were his own." Zhou Jingyun Road.

At that time, when Ding Hai and Meng Chun had a conflict, he was also at the scene, but he didn't bother to care about the matter between the Guozijian and Qingfeng Academy, as long as they didn't kill anyone, they didn't have to worry about these soul angels.

Meng Xing nodded and said, "There are no other clues at this scene, if you want to find the murderer, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

In ancient times, there was no surveillance, and it was impossible to know the appearance of the murderer. This murderer is also a cultivator, whether it is the martial arts cultivation system, the Dao Gate system, or the Demon Gate system, after killing someone, it is easy to escape.

Zhong Zhutou said: "Yes! The murderer kills cleanly, and he is a monk, so it is even more difficult to catch him. ”

Zhong Zhutou, who has been doing criminal investigation for many years, naturally knows the difficulties, the probability of catching the murderer in this kind of case is very small, unless the blind cat touches the dead mouse, otherwise it is good to solve one out of ten cases.

Xing Yixuan sneered, he naturally didn't want Meng Xing to find out the murderer, although finding out the murderer could clear his relationship, but it also made this kid show his face in Princess Yangping.

Princess Yangping specially came with her for a long time, I am afraid that it is also for this kid, either she wants to recruit him, or she is greedy for his body, no matter which one it is, it makes Xing Yixuan jealous in his heart.

As the most promising young talent in the Soul Angel Yamen, what is he not as good as this guy?

Meng Xing asked, "Where is Meng Chunhua?" ”

"Stay in the government jail." Zhong Zhutou said.

"Let's go back and ask him and see if we can find anything." Meng Xingdao.

So they walked out of the house.

Meng Xing asked, "Isn't Ding Haishi a student of Guozijian?" How do you rent a house here? ”

"The management of Guozijian is not very strict, these students can rent a house outside, as long as they go to class." Zhong Zhutou said.

"From here to Guozijian, it only takes three quarters of an hour to walk."

Meng Xing nodded, three quarters of an hour, and only about forty-five minutes, which is much closer than the office workers of 996.

The people got on their horses and galloped away to the palace. Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the palace.

Meng Xing followed Zhong Zhutou to the prison, while the others stayed in the office.

Entering the torture room of the prison, there was a messenger to take Meng Chun out.

Meng Chun's hair was a little scattered, his expression was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Zhong Zhutou, he said, "My lord, I didn't kill anyone, why did you arrest me?" ”

"You're suspected of murder. After the interrogation is clear, you will naturally be released. Zhong Zhutou said coldly.

"Then my lord should ask quickly." Meng Chun said.

"It's up to this Meng Gongzi to ask you." Zhong Zhutou pointed at Meng Xing and said.

"Meng Gongzi?" Only then did Meng Chunhui see clearly that Meng Xing next to him was the original author of the poems he met yesterday.

Meng Xing said: "It's me." There are a few questions I would like to ask you. ”

Meng Chun sat on the stool, was silent for a while, and said, "You ask." ”

"Where did you know about my fortune telling?" Meng Xing asked.

"The Chunyi Building in Guangyang County, where your calligraphy and paintings are hung, and the girls in the Chunyi Building also sing. It should be the day after you went to the Chunyi Building, I went there, and the girl there said that yesterday there came a talented man who is very good at writing poetry, surnamed Meng, and I don't know the real name. Meng Chun said.

"I thought it was a great song, so I memorized it. After returning to the capital, I revised it according to the original poem, and took it out as something I wrote. The edict thought that I had written well, so it was included in the "Yajun Collection". ”

"I thought that if you found out, I would pay you some money. And if you're in Guangyang County, you won't necessarily come to the capital, so you don't take it seriously. He said with some shame on his face.

Meng Xing nodded and asked, "Then how did you have a conflict with Ding Haishi?" ”

"Ding Hai was a native of Wuyang County, and somehow he also knew this poem, and he promoted this poem as his own, and it was included in the "National Elegance Collection", probably someone found that this poem was similar to what I wrote, and yesterday he brought someone to question me for plagiarizing his poems. Everyone was so angry that they almost got into a fight. Meng Chun said.

"That's the whole thing, in fact, no one has a deep hatred. Unexpectedly, he was killed last night, so the people of Guozijian thought that I killed people to vent their anger and went to Qingfeng Academy to make trouble. ”

In order to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible, Meng Chunhua also spoke in detail.

"I'm a helpless scholar who has never killed a person, so how can I kill him?"

Meng Xing asked a few more questions, then left the prison with Zhong Zhutou and returned to the office.

"How? Has there been any progress? Zhou Jingyun asked.

"Humph! This case is so tricky, the murderer has come and gone without a trace, how easy is it to find the murderer? Xing Yixuan sneered.

Meng Xing glanced at him and said, "I have already checked it out." Let's do it together, the murderer is him! ”
