Chapter 259: There's a Mystery Inside!
"Fools?"
Lin Yiqiu was stunned.
Good guys, that's a rare thing.
No wonder the two sons, none of them cried, and one of them still smirked.
"Alright, let's be quiet."
Lin Yiqiu raised his hand and shouted.
The lady and the concubine hurriedly wiped away their tears with handkerchiefs, and said tremblingly: "My lord... We.... We are sinless! ”
"I haven't said you're guilty? Besides, he's committing suicide, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Lin Yiqiu said casually.
Hearing this, several women breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yiqiu continued: "Is there anything wrong with your master these days? Why did he kill himself? Who is the conflict with? ”
It's just a very common question, Lin Yiqiu tried to use a very gentle attitude, so as not to scare them.
After listening to this, several women looked at each other a few times.
"Something is wrong? Our lord has always been normal, but there's really nothing wrong with it. ”
The little concubine scratched her head and didn't come up with it for a long time.
"That's really incomprehensible, inexplicably committed suicide? Could it be a family conflict? ”
Lin Yiqiu leaned over, did you quarrel with him? Have you had a conflict?
"Huh? My lord? We're all honest! ”
The lady and the concubine hurriedly knelt on the ground.
They all thought that Lin Yiqiu was looking for a murderer when he asked like this.
Seeing this, Lin Yiqiu shook his head helplessly.
It seems that these ladies are indeed not suspicious, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is round and heavy.
If these women want to hang him, it's unlikely.
At this time, Zhao Ting, who was watching from the side, spoke.
"What good means will I have when I investigate the case in the West Factory, I have asked about those things, and there is no abnormality."
"It looks like it was indeed a suicide, and there is a high probability that the case can be closed."
Yan Liben also shrugged his shoulders and said.
Lin Yiqiu ignored them, and was just about to turn around and go back to the house to continue the investigation, when he suddenly thought of something.
Then, he asked a different question.
"In the past few days, have you done anything you haven't done before?"
This sentence is to ask everyone in the house.
The servants looked at each other, as if they didn't quite understand.
Lin Yiqiu continued: "It's something he hasn't done before, or a habit that he didn't have, and it suddenly appeared in the past two days, you should think about it." ”
When the words fell, everyone lowered their heads, thinking about something.
However, after a while, they all shook their heads.
Only the little concubine suddenly patted her head!
"By the way, my lord, I've been going to the old man's house to rub his shoulders these days, but I really found out that he did something he hadn't done before!"
"What's the matter?"
Lin Yiqiu asked.
"The master seems to have stabbed a villain! I've been holding it for the past few days, and I won't let go! ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”
Lin Yiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly continued to ask: "Where is the villain?" Show it to me? ”
"Oh, it's in this drawer."
The concubine quickly entered the house, pulled out a wooden drawer next to the bed, took out the little person tied with strips of cloth among them, and handed it to Lin Yiqiu.
At this time, Cang Hong and the two people from the Ministry of Officials also surrounded him.
"What is this for?"
There was a wave of confusion.
Lin Yiqiu was embarrassed in place, looking at the densely pierced holes on the villain, he was really a little speechless.
Boy! This waiter of the Ministry of Rites is also really ruthless, he won't really be at home, stabbing him every day as a villain of a eunuch, right?
As for it? Yes? As for it?
What a grudge, what a grudge?
Lin Yiqiu sighed helplessly, thinking that the reader's heart is small, and what he did was too tasteless.
"Nothing other than that?"
Lin Yiqiu turned his head and asked again.
The concubine really couldn't think of anything else, so she could only shake her head and say, "It's really gone." ”
"Alas, stabbing the villain, hanging himself, strange, strange."
Lin Yiqiu held the villain and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At present, except for the fact that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites hanged himself can be determined, everything else seems to be normal, and there is nothing particularly strange.
And the more this is the case, the more Lin Yiqiu feels that something is wrong.
Holding the villain, Lin Yiqiu was about to hand it over to the Jinyi guard next to him.
At this time, when I glanced at it, I found something different.
The cloth strip villain is dark and black, but inside the hole, there is a faint white!
It doesn't seem reasonable!
"Canghong, lend me the knife!"
Lin Yiqiu immediately stretched out his hand.
Cang Hong did not hesitate, pulled out the knife and handed it over.
Lin Yiqiu cut the line on the villain with a knife, and then directly ripped off the strip of cloth on the villain!
After all the tears were done, a light-colored letter paper suddenly fell!
"There's a mystery inside!"
Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong looked at each other.
Subsequently, open the stationery.
A piece of handwriting of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing comes into view, and there is a large paragraph!
After waiting for half an hour, Lin Yiqiu suddenly showed a surprised expression!
"This is a bribe letter that someone wants to buy exam questions with a lot of money!"
Holding the letter, Lin Yiqiu's face suddenly became solemn.
The content of the letter is actually very simple, a person asks the waiter of the Ministry of Rites about the price of the exam questions.
To put it bluntly, I just want to use the money to buy the exam questions for this exam.
Hearing this, Zhao Ting and Yan Liben, who were standing next to them, couldn't help but be surprised.
This eunuch really let him find some clues.
"So, does his death really have anything to do with this test?"
Cang Hong immediately speculated.
Lin Yiqiu shook his head.
"It's not directly certain yet, but for now, the death of the Ministry of Rites is definitely not that simple."
"And even if he really committed suicide, then the matter of buying exam questions is just as important! Who can be sure it hasn't happened before? Who can be sure if the exam questions have leaked out? ”
The last question is the key!
Did the waiter of the Ministry of Rites reply to the past, and did he really leak it! If you don't find out this, I'm afraid that this exam will be greatly affected!
Thinking of this, Lin Yiqiu deeply felt the seriousness of this matter.
"How are we going to investigate? If you just have faith, it's useless, right? ”
Cang Hong frowned.
The information revealed in the letter, while important, was unsigned and had no other key clues.
If you look at it like this, you can't see it at all.
Lin Yiqiu chuckled at the corner of his mouth.
"Sometimes, a simple piece of physical evidence actually reveals a lot more information than we think."
After touching the letter several times and sniffing it again, Lin Yiqiu closed his eyes and thought about it from time to time.
Cang Hong watched quietly like this, he believed in Lin Yiqiu's ability.
But Zhao Ting and Yan Liben couldn't wait.
"I know that the test questions may have been leaked, so let's catch them quickly!"
"Yes, what's the use of just reading the letter here? It's the right thing to do! ”
Hearing this, Cang Hong was speechless.
"Do you know who to arrest? How many candidates are there for this examination? Still some haven't arrived in the capital? Isn't it necessary to arrest them? ”
"In order to investigate the case, I have to do this!"
Zhao Ting and Yan Liben continued.
