Chen Chaoyan took two steps forward, stood closer to the wall, and compared with his hands. She remembered that when she looked for clues inside the fence before, the height was level with her eyes. Right now...... The height of the fence was at the tip of her nose.

Is she getting taller, or is it different inside and out?

Chen Chaoyan stood on tiptoe and looked inside, but the wall was almost six inches thick, and after the view was blocked by the wall plane, he could only see the ground a little farther away, and such a distance could not be compared with the ground level outside.

Chen Chaoyan retreated, and was about to open her mouth to let Yue Jian come and give it a try, when Xie Xuan's voice sounded in her ears first: "Yes, I have grown a lot taller." ”

Chen Chaoyan turned around and found him standing beside him. Subconsciously took two steps back and kept a certain distance from him, and unexpectedly found that the last time she looked at the level, what she saw was his chest. This time his eyes were level, but he was an inch and two above his chest. This is, growing four centimeters taller?

Her original height was 1.72 meters, and the previous height of this body was about 1.62 meters. Now after growing four centimeters tall, it becomes one meter six six. She doesn't need to grow to be as tall as herself, she only needs to grow another three or four centimeters, which is about the same level as the moon and them.

Thinking like this, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but look at Xie Xuan.

She is 1.66 meters, and the top of her skull can probably reach his lips, and the lips are almost twenty-three centimeters to the top of his head, so isn't he 1.85 meters up?

Glancing at Wang Da and the officials who only reached the root of his ear, Chen Chaoyan was secretly sighing at his long body in his heart, and Feng Shoudao, who was focused on checking the records, said quietly: "Compared with when she first came to the county guard's mansion, Miss Chen has indeed grown a lot taller. ”

Chen Chaoyan didn't even raise his head when he spoke, and after tilting his head to look at it twice, he persuaded: "Since there is no result in the investigation, it is not too late for the adults to look at these records after they go back." ”

Feng Shoudao's words of reprimand almost blurted out, and after he stopped his voice in a hurry, he temporarily changed his words: "Twenty days have passed since Zhou Zhongcai's case occurred. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will be even harder to break. ”

Chen Chaoyan, who was connotated, joked: "It seems that if I don't solve the case again, adults should not trust me." ”

"Miss Chen's ability to solve the case is obvious to all. The official said to hurry up, but he was worried that if it dragged on, the murderer would escape. Feng Shoudao also knew that he couldn't rush to solve the case, but he didn't find out a single clue in the past 20 days, and he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

In addition, he has another concern.

The excerpt sent to the capital has already arrived, but the emperor has not yet given an explanation, which makes him really a little worried.

I was worried that the emperor would suddenly order Xie Xuan to go back.

This matter was placed more than half a month ago, and he naturally wished that Xie Xuan would leave quickly. But to this day, he doesn't want Xie Xuan to leave, or rather, he is afraid that Xie Xuan is gone.

Xie Xuan is here, taking over this case, which is equivalent to taking away the responsibility. The case was solved, and it was naturally his credit. If the case is not solved, then he can also take half of the responsibility. If he leaves, all the blame will fall on him.

It's not that he's afraid to take responsibility. But judging from the way he and Chen Chaoyan get along in the past 20 days, if he wants to leave, he will definitely take Chen Chaoyan away. Chen Chaoyan can't solve the case, Wang Da and they don't have to count on it. Moreover, with the understanding of this case, Feng Shoudao also vaguely realized that Zhou Zhongcai's case seemed to be aimed at Xie Xuan.

Then he's leaving......

"Adults can rest assured. The murderer of Zhou Zhongcai must be someone who often corresponds to him. And after more than half a month of investigation, it has been known that the people who often interact with him are none other than the people from the County Guard's Mansion, the Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop and the Jishan Workshop. The Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop is watched by the officials arranged by the adults, the people of the county guard have official books in store, and the people of the Jishan Workshop have their records in their hands. Chen Chaoyan didn't know what he was thinking, and said with kindness, "The whole world is not the king's land, unless they escape from the Great Wei, otherwise, they will flee to the ends of the earth, and the imperial court can also arrest them all." ”

Feng Shoudao said insincerely: "Then borrow Miss Chen's auspicious words." ”

When Chen Chaoyan saw him like this, he no longer persuaded him, but turned around and looked at Zhou Zhongcai's study again.

After a while, she said: "In the past 20 days, we have investigated a total of more than 100 households of Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop and the County Guard's Mansion. The study rooms of more than 100 people are basically set up in a hidden position, or a place to avoid people. Why is Zhou Zhongcai's study located here alone? ”

Chen Chaoyan, who hadn't paid attention to this issue a few times before, looked back at the courtyard behind him. The courtyard behind him is separated from the Zhou family by a three-foot-wide alley, and the layout is basically the same as the Zhou family, but the study is not located on the side like the Zhou family.

If you look at the other courtyards adjacent to it, it's almost all the same.

Chen Chaoyan retracted his gaze and continued incomprehensibly, "Standing here at my height, I can almost have an unobstructed view of his study. And people's curiosity is the most irrepressible, and people who pass by here, consciously or unconsciously, will turn their heads to look at his study a few times. There is no way he didn't know this. You know, why ......"

Ling You walked over, followed her and looked at her twice, and said with a grin: "If he doesn't set up his study here, how can the murderer kill him?" ”

Chen Chaoyan's heart moved.

Zhou Zhongcai set up his study here, definitely not to facilitate the murderer to kill him.

Neither convenient for the murderer to kill him......

Then after it is known that the murderer of him is a person close to him, and his death is for money and power, the purpose of his study here is self-evident: to facilitate contact with people!

It is also known that the murderer of him was one or two of the eight people who had their fingerprints on the deed, and that one or two of them were in the ...... Chen Chaoyan quietly glanced at Feng Shoudao and Qian Wen and Zhao Wuwei behind him, and then glanced at Wang Dahou and looked at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan also looked at her.

Seeing that the two had the same idea, Chen Chaoyan quietly blinked and asked, "Why don't you find someone to test it?" ”

Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "What to experiment?" ”

Chen Chaoyan said: "How about letting people pretend to be Zhou Zhongcai to sit in the study, and then let people pretend to be murderers and sneak into the study to kill him?" ”

Xie Xuan tacitly glanced at Lingyou and Chonglou a few times, and after a few glances at Yuejian and Shishu, he said, "They are not suitable." ”

Afterwards.

He looked at Wang Da.

Wang Da reacted quickly and said, "Then let Ma Huai come!" This stinky boy has been using the excuse of protecting Zhou Zhongcai's study recently, and he is always cheating and not willing to work more! I'm here today to see if he has any reason to be lazy again! ”

Anyway, Ma Huai was also one of the eight people who left fingerprints on the deed, and Chen Chaoyan said noncommittally: "Then let him come." ”

Wang Da suppressed the sharpness in his eyes and quickly glanced at the servant.

The official immediately shouted Ma Huai a few times at the top of his throat.

Ma Huai was lying on the elm tree outside Zhou Zhongcai's study and dozing off, when he heard the voice calling him, he jumped off the tree and followed the sound into the green bamboo forest. Seeing Xie Xuan, Chen Chaoyan and Feng Shoudao through the gap in the green bamboo, he was so frightened that he immediately flew out of the wall and waved his hands to salute one by one.

Huiwu, running a pharmacy at home, one of the judicial histories of the county guard, and participating in the tragedy of the Bao family, each of which can perfectly portray the murderer of Zhou Zhongcai. And he also likes to gamble, and often goes to Jishanfang, and Shi Zhi must know each other. In addition, when he went to the Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop, he was also looking for the account office surnamed Jiang and the pawn of royal power...... Chen Chaoyan looked at him a few times without a trace.

Seeing this, Wang Da couldn't help but take a few deep glances at Ma Huai, and then ordered the officials around him to let him enter the study to pretend to be Zhou Zhongcai. Then, he instructed Ma Huai: "The prince and Miss Chen have an order to let you disguise yourself as a murderer and go into the house to murder 'Zhou Zhongcai' in order to find traces of the real murderer." ”

"Do a good job, don't cheat again!"

"Who cheated and stricken?" After Ma Huai retorted in a whisper, he quickly glanced at Xie Xuan and Feng Shoudao, and seeing that neither of them objected, he quickly climbed over the wall, crossed the green bamboo, entered the study through the window, and slashed the knife of the official who had just sat down in front of the bookcase.

Then he came out quickly, stood on one side, and waited for the dispatch.

The whole process is less than twenty breaths.

But Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuangu didn't care about him, and the two of them looked at the green bamboo forest in unison.
