"You've found out the murderer?!"

When Lin Xi heard this, she was taken aback, although she felt that with Shen Chen's ability, it would be a matter of time before she found out, but she really didn't expect it to be so fast!

She hurriedly pulled Shen Chen to sit down and asked curiously: "Then tell me what the hell is going on, you don't know, I was thinking about these cases in my dreams when I slept last night!" ”

Shen Chen hummed, pulled her to sit down, and then he walked quickly to the soft couch, lifted a corner and took out the Zhiyi, went back to sit down and handed it to Lin Xi.

"What are you giving me this?" Lin Xi asked suspiciously.

Shen Chen said: "You open it and take a closer look, is there anything strange in it." ”

Lin Xi looked at him in confusion, knowing that Shen Chen must have a deep meaning like this, so he did it.

It's just that she looked at it twice, but she didn't understand where the strangeness was, and she couldn't bear to ask Shen Chen to tell her directly.

Shen Chen shook his head helplessly, and opened a small half of the different aspirations for Lin Xi to see.

More than 30 years ago, a child was extremely ruthless and poisoned his father and stepmother with arsenic.

Because of his disregard for human morality, he was executed and imprisoned by the county lieutenant.

However, just the night before the execution, the child mysteriously disappeared from prison, and no one has been found.

"You let me see this ......" Lin Xi was puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with the Yueqin case we are investigating?" ”

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "When I was talking to Lin Yiling in the morning, he proposed that I investigate the man who died in this inn a month ago, as well as the Zhiyi of this county. ”

Lin Xi was stunned.

Shen Chen continued: "After I returned to the Yamen, I checked the case file from a month ago, read it carefully, and then looked through the county records, and I saw it more than thirty years ago, and I found that this was the most strange. ”

"Where's the weirdness?" Lin Xi asked, "Do you think that in this strange incident, it is difficult for the child to start, or that the disappearance of the child is very strange......

Lin Xi suddenly reacted, "The mysterious disappearance, no trace can be found, this is similar to the disappearance of Yueqin that we are investigating, they are all missing for no reason." ”

Shen Chen bowed.

Lin Xi said: "But it's different now." We have already discovered that there is a secret passage in the inn, and Yueqin must have disappeared from that secret passage, and the body that died in place was probably transported up from that secret passage. ”

In this way, the mystery of the secret room in Yueqin's case does not exist.

So what else is the same?

Shen Chen explained: "It's not just Zhiyi, but also the man who looked like a month ago. I looked through the case files at that time, and the most obvious thing about the man's physical appearance was that he had a mole on his back. I also asked the county lieutenant to find an old man who had lived in the county for decades, and asked about the old news in the county, and when he described the child, he mentioned that this person also had a bruise on his back. ”

Lin Xi understood in seconds: "The child of the year is the one who died a month ago?" ”

Shen Chen said: "It seems that this should be the case at present. For the sake of stability, I also asked the people of the yamen to rummage through the records of old cases in the past, and finally found the relevant case files, which recorded exactly that. ”

Lin Xi was suspicious: "But at this age...... Isn't that right? ”

"It's a human skin mask." Shen Chen said.

Lin Xiluo sat up straight.

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "After proving that the child and the man who died a month ago are the same person, I still don't understand how these two things are related to the Yueqin case, so I went to interrogate the suspect I caught. In the end, he confessed that he was indeed a fine work planted here by the Hu people, and he was indeed acquainted with Yueqin. ”

He said his brother was not a local and was not the owner of the shop. A month ago, they received an order from someone above them to come here to deal with a traitor, and they came here in disguise. And this inn is where they connect. ”

The meaning given to them above is to take a list of the traitor before he can be dealt with. But they didn't succeed. While they were pressing, someone broke in, and instead of saving the man, they took the list with them. ”

Lin Xifu was heartfelt: "This person can't be Yueqin, right?" The important thing that Yueqin has in her hands is this list? ”

Shen Chen bowed: "Not bad." ”

Lin Xi was a little confused: "Then this traitor, is it the young man who died a month ago?" ”

"Hmm."

"But since he is a traitor, in order to prevent the news from leaking, why didn't the two of them secretly execute him, but let his body be discovered? It doesn't make sense. "Lin Xi Road.

Shen Chen explained: "In fact, he was trying to drag those two people and deliberately seek death to attract other people from the inn, so that Yueqin could take advantage of the chaos to leave." Later, in order to find other information, the two men deliberately spread rumors and pretended to be ghosts in that room, so that there would be no tenants in the room, so as not to discover their secrets. ”

"That being the case, what does that man have to do with the childish case back then?" Lin Xi couldn't figure this out.

Shen Chen stretched out his hand to take Zhiyi, and turned to the last page, which had the names of the county lieutenants of the past dynasties.

He pointed to one of them and said: "This childish man did not murder his father and mother back then, but the words of the people were terrible, and there was no evidence to prove his innocence, so the people forced the county lieutenant to execute him." And the county lieutenant was kind, and secretly let him go, and handed him over to an official who went to his place. The officer appreciated his intelligence and cultivated him carefully. In the end, he became the liaison and meticulous work between the official and the Hu people. ”

Lin Xi understood, "That's why this person will have a list, and that list is most likely the officials he came into contact with when he was doing things for that official." Wait—"

Her eyes widened slightly, "Isn't this official betraying Qin Tonghu to put it bluntly, aren't the people on the list in this person's hand all officials who colluded with the Hu people?" ”

Shen Chen nodded solemnly.

That's why this list is so important that it can shake the people behind it.

It is estimated that the people who colluded with the old party of the Five Princes are also on that list!

At this point, Shen Chen understood why this case was related to the old Yanmen Pass case back then.

"Something must have happened that caused this man to want to leave his old master, so he disguised himself and returned to his homeland. Perhaps, he knows that his time is running out, and he wants to return to his roots at the end. Shen Chen said, "Perhaps, Yueqin, who has been lurking here for a long time, also has a sense of leaving, and happens to know him, so I sent him a message, and he is back." ”

Lin Xi thought about the clues he had discovered earlier and said, "But they definitely know that it is impossible for them to escape with their whole body, so Yueqin wants to use this list to exchange with Yang Shizhong for a chance to leave safely when she knows that Yang Shizhong may come to the county?" ”

"Yes." Shen Chen said.

In this situation, Yang Shizhong was the biggest protective shield they could come into contact with.

"But before they could see Yang Shizhong, that person was killed, and Yueqin had to go back to the county governor's mansion with the list to hide."

Lin Xi was a little puzzled, "That being the case, why did Yueqin say that there would be her accomplices to see Yang Shizhong?" Her accomplices are all dead. ”
