In the early morning of the next day, Xu Jianping came to the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division early in the morning, and was now in the hall to inquire with the deputy envoy of the Transshipment Department for details, "Lord Wang, is there anyone who offends in the Division on weekdays?" ”

"That's never been the case, Lord Li even takes care of the people in the department on weekdays, and if there are occasional omissions in everyone's affairs, Lord Li will correct them again and again, and the old man has worked with him for three years, and he has never seen anyone offended" Deputy Envoy Wang obviously recognized Li Guyuan's personality.

Xu Jianping took out the case file, which contained the inquiry records of the people in the yamen yesterday, thought about it, and asked again and again: "According to yesterday's description, Master Li felt wrong in the lobby of the department, so let Er wait for the official, why is his body at the door of the study 100 meters away?" Lord Wang, you can't be mistaken, right? ”

Vice Envoy Wang frowned and thought about it, "I am not mistaken, it is true, what is the reason, I don't know what the old decay is." ”

Xu Jianping pondered for a while, and decided to go to the study to see, hoping that Li Guyuan had any clues left in the study, otherwise why did he deliberately go to the study when he was dying.

The study room is not large, and there are bookshelves built of carved wooden boards on all sides, or "Three Friends of the Cold Year", or "Mountains and Flowing Water", and different types of books and documents are placed in each room. In the middle of the study, a rosewood-colored desk is placed here, and there are many documents scattered on the table.

Xu Jianping stepped forward, picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them at random, most of them were leisurely and elegant, and there was nothing special about them. Xu Jianping carefully searched the study, but still found nothing. Is your inference wrong?

Impossible, Xu Jianping believed in his instincts very much, Li Guyuan must have left some clues, but he didn't find it.

Xu Jianping then unwillingly patrolled around the desk for a week, and knocked on the desktop carefully, afraid that there would be any mezzanine or something, but he found nothing. Xu Jianping sat down in his chair a little disappointed and fell into deep thought.

If I were Li Guyuan, if I were going to die today, if I knew who was going to kill me, how would I leave a clue?

Xu Jianping thought about it and fell asleep involuntarily.

"Lord Xu, Lord Xu."

In the haze, Xu Jianping seemed to hear someone calling for him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Guyuan standing beside him, constantly telling something, but Xu Jianping couldn't hear anything, slowly Li Guyuan became more and more anxious, his body became more and more illusory, Xu Jianping stretched out his hand to grab it, but it passed through Li Guyuan's body.

"Uh" Xu Jianping woke up directly, and saw that there was really a person standing next to him, but it was not Li Guyuan.

"What do you mean?"

"Besides, didn't you say that you would go drinking with us today? After waiting for you for a long time, Wang Lin told me that you came here. It was Chen Yibing who spoke, and when he went out this morning, Xu Jianping had made an appointment with him to have a drink together in the evening.

"What, is it dark?" Xu Jianping obviously didn't expect that he just sat on the chair and took a nap, but it turned out that it was already night.

"It's time now, we're not going, the restaurants are closed." Chen Yibing pulled Xu Jianping and left.

"I heard that you have been in the Transshipment Division all day, how is it, what have you discovered?" Chen Yibing was drinking wine, and asked Xu Jianping with a match.

"Well, I haven't found it for the time being, but there must be clues hidden in the study, but I haven't found it yet" Xu Jianping was also dizzy from hunger at the moment, and he didn't eat at noon, so he devoured it hungrily.

"This case is very tricky, don't be impatient, I'll take a look with you tomorrow."

Following.

Xu Jianping and Chen Yibing came to the study of the transfer division early in the morning.

"Flip through all the books on the shelves and see if there are any notes or anything like that" Xu Jianping thought about it all night last night and decided to dig three feet into the ground today to find the clues left by Li Guyuan.

"All of them?" Chen Yibing looked at the huge study, and there were at least 10,000 books and documents around, "When are we going to get it." ”

"Do things first, what is so much nonsense, please drink at night" said Xu Jianping and started to move directly.

Chen Yibing also likes to play tricks on weekdays, and he is still very serious about doing things, the two of them flipped through all the books on the shelves from morning to night, not only turned over all the books on the shelves, but even carefully checked all the bookshelves.

"Brother Xu, did you make a mistake, this study has been turned over by the two of us, even a needle should be found" Chen Yibing was obviously a little discouraged, for this case, it had been three months. Chen Yibing's passion also slowly subsided, and if it weren't for Xu Jianping's presence at this moment, it was estimated that Chen Yibing would have to go home directly and lie down and fall asleep.

"Well, let's go, let's drink."

"Let's go, drink you to death tonight" Wine is spiritual food, as soon as he mentioned wine, Chen Yibing was suddenly refreshed, "This Lord Li is too, life is short for decades, it's not good to eat meat and drink wine, a huge study room makes me easy to find today." Chen Yibing put his right hand on Xu Jianping's shoulder and walked out muttering.

"Wait."

Xu Jianping suddenly thought of something, and then broke away from Chen Yibing's hand, returned to the study, and looked around the books all over the ground.

"You have thought it strange that not a single volume in this room full of books is from the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division." Xu Jianping suddenly woke up to this at this moment.

The Salt and Iron Transfer Division, as a court institution, will record all the salt and iron transportation routes and approvals, but there is not a single volume in the study of the Salt and Iron Transfer Division, which is very strange, just like the study of the Yamen, which is basically full of all kinds of cases. And this study is actually full of books for leisure and leisure.

Is the clue in the document of the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division? Where did the book go? Was it taken away by the murderer? Or did you hide it for Li Guyuan?

"I think I know why Li Guyuan was killed." Xu Jianping exhaled deeply and closed his eyes.

Inside the yamen, Xu Jianping summoned both Qian and Wang to the study, "Boss Qian, Brother Wang, don't blame you for calling you here so late today." ”

"What's the matter, I heard that you have been in the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division for the past two days, but what clues have you found?" Qian Zhutou originally wanted to lead a group of officials to take Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but Xu Jianping was worried about startling the grass and snakes, so he did not agree to such an action.

"Well, of course, it's just speculation, it's up to you to verify, first of all, let's take a look at the situation of Li Guyuan's murder, he died at the door of the study of the transfer department, today I searched the study with Brother Chen for a day, originally I thought that Li Guyuan left clues in the study before he was killed, but I found nothing. Although we didn't find any useful clues, we did find a particularly strange thing, there was not a single record book of salt and iron transfer in the transfer department in that study. ”

Xu Jianping paused when he spoke, stretched out his finger and pointed around, "Let's see, in the study of our yamen, a room full of case records, record books, and confession records. ”

"Well, that's a bit weird to say that." Chen Yibing also reacted at this moment.

"So someone in that study room has done something to cover up the motive for the killing, and the reason why Li Guyuan was killed was the salt and iron transfer book."

Speaking of this, everyone fell into deep thought, Chen Yibing secretly admired Xu Jianping's strength, obviously he didn't find anything, but he was able to find clues from it.

Xu Jianping was thinking that if he could kill people in a court organization like the Transit Division, and take away all the salt and iron transfer manuals, the background and methods of the murderer were not simple.

"How to investigate next" Qian Zhutou was a straightforward person, and when he saw that there were finally clues available, he hurriedly asked.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, the big guys are tired today, and I have to think about what to do next."

In the middle of the night, a man in a black robe and a hat on his head was walking through the woods.

"He seems to know something."

"Why, didn't we destroy all the materials? He shouldn't be able to find any clues," said an old man in his early sixties, surprised.

"It's because there is no clue, so he guessed the clue, hehe, yes, I met a smart guy this time" A man in a gorgeous satin brocade robe walked out, with a slender figure and a smile on his cold face.
