In the evening, An Tong came to have dinner with An Ying, but An Ying was very concerned about eating, and was still looking through the waste paper that he took from Ge Niangzi.

An Tong asked while eating, "Sister, did you go to Senior Brother Zhu's house and find out something?" ”

"No, there is nothing wrong with the handwriting, and the content of the writing is also some common literary and poetic writing, nothing special. There are a few love poems, and I care a little about them, but Mr. Guo knows handwriting, and I think it was written by a girl who mixed it up in the tricks. But I always felt that something was wrong. ”

An Tong looked at it for a while, leaned over mysteriously, pointed to a piece of paper and said: "If you ask where to rest in lovesickness, meeting is lovesickness" I know that once I heard Zhu Ke read it in the library of the academy at noon. ”

An Ying asked him in shock, "Are you sure?" ”

An Tong said very firmly: "It's true. He put the cup in his hand again and said, "Sister, I remembered that day when I saw Zhu Kexin in the library reading this sentence to a scroll of paintings. At that time, I also walked over to say hello, Zhu Kexin rolled up the painting, I thought that he didn't want me to see it, so I didn't ask much. ”

"There are a lot of paintings from his predecessors on the second floor of the library, and he has always had poor grades in painting classes, so I thought he was hiding in the library to paint alone in order to improve his painting skills. At that time, Zhu Kexin may have been a little embarrassed. So he brought me another painting to look at. ”

An Ying hurriedly asked, "Then what did he show you later?" ”

An Ying smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me what the one he rolled up is?" ”

An Ying looked at it in surprise, An Tong scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said, "My eyes are good." The first scroll of paintings is a white drawing of a woman, I wanted to say that Senior Brother Zhu can even draw white drawings of characters, but who knew that he rolled up nervously, so he was embarrassed to say. The scroll he showed me later was a colored landscape, which was good, but I thought the colors were too ......."

"Too what?" Anjou poured a bowl of clove soup.

"It's hard to say. You know, the landscapes that are now taught in the academy are all taught by Li Tang and Ma Yuan's school, and if they are colored, they are also green and ochre. Zhu Kexin's crimson and vermilion used for the mountain stone are also chopped with an axe, which makes people's hearts tremble. ”

An Tong said again: "He put his paintings in the pile of calligraphy and painting scrolls of his predecessors. I guess he must have secretly drawn quite a bit. ”

An Ying was about to go to find Yun Pan and the others, when he met Xiao Yi hurriedly running over and said, "Oh no, it's dead again." Come with me."

An Ying lowered her head and whispered a few words to An Tong, and said to Xiao Yi: "I have something to ask my little brother to help me run." You call a catcher to come with him. The matter was urgent, and I reported it to Mr. Guo later. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and An Tong and An Ying parted ways.

The person who died was Jin Dan.

He hanged himself in the stack, with a fallen ladder next to him.

Guo Xi took a piece of paper and said, "This is his suicide note." He said that he was jealous of Zhu Kexin's poisoning. ”

Yun Pan gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense! ”

There were a lot of students gathered in the library at once. One person walked out of the crowd, it was Zhu Zhuzhi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, I passed by the library with zongzi that day, and happened to meet Master Jin Dan, so I chatted with him for a few words. In the middle of the day, I went into the library to pick up some books and walked away for a while. I didn't tell you that it was a big deal. Now it seems that it was at that time that Master Jin Dan could take the opportunity to poison him. ”

Yun Pan glanced at Zhu Zhuzhi coldly, and watched more and more students gather around.

Deacon Bai and Chief Liu Shan of the academy also arrived, and Deacon Bai glanced at the suicide note and said, "The handwriting is indeed Jin Dan's." They have been at odds for some days. ”

Other students also responded, "It's also the college where they quarrel every day." "Hey, it's more, it's not just painting, why bother with it?" "You don't understand, those who paint are stubborn, and the pursuit of art ......"

Seeing this, An Ying shouted: "The handwriting can be forged, but I am sure that Master Jin Dan did not commit suicide." ”

"Last night, you drank and ate food around the fireplace, and Master Jin couldn't even get the paintings on the top of the bookshelf at that time."

Yun Pan suddenly faced the corpse of his friend, completely unable to think, and was a little bit of An Ying, he immediately reacted, and said to Deacon Bai and Liu Shanchang: "This wooden ladder weighs more than ten catties, Jin Dan can hold it?" ”

He said to a group of students: "Your master Jin Dan was talented back then, but unfortunately he suffered from rheumatism and joint pain all year round. Otherwise, he would not have given up his career and nested in this library. ”

Liu Shanchang nodded, "Indeed." It seems that Jin Dan was also murdered. ”

Zhu Zhuzhi sighed, "The academy has been so restless recently, so how can we stay in the academy with peace of mind." Who knows if it's going to be me next? ”

The other students all responded, "The former government can't solve the case, and the people who take the zongzi shop fill their lives, and this time the people from the criminal department can't look down on the thieves in the academy." ”

"It's scary, I'm going home!"

"Yes, yes, I'm going home."

Yun Pan looked coldly at Zhu Zhuzhi who was smiling in the crowd, and clenched his fists. An Ying firmly grasped Yun Pan's sleeve, afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary.

Guo Xi bowed deeply to the mountain chief and said, "Now that two people have died, the murderer must be in the academy." If you let everyone go back, it may give the murderer a chance to destroy the evidence, or it may be that the murderer will run away. Wouldn't that be a failure? ”

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment, called the deacon Mr. Bai and said, "Old Bai, you and the children should not gather to make trouble, stay in their own room in groups of four, and go out with a companion." ”

Mr. Bai didn't move, but saluted and said: "Mountain Chief, this zongzi case has dragged on for a long time, but the Fang family has been forced to a dead end in the previous round, if it weren't for the Fang family's daughter-in-law who hit her head at the door of the Criminal Department, Boss Fang would have been beheaded." "Several of the most proud students in our academy are all suspicious, and there is no explanation so far. Another teacher died under the nose of the Criminal Department, and for the sake of safety, I should let the students go back first. ”

Mr. Bai has been a deacon in the academy for many years and has been in charge of the general affairs of the academy, and when I heard him say this, I obviously disagreed with Mr. Liu's meaning.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Mr. Liu glanced at Deacon Bai and said, "That's it, Lord Guo, Yun Pan, it's not a way for you to delay like this." I'll give you three days, and if the case is not solved after three days, I'll let the students all go home first. What do you think? ”

Guo Xi and Yun Pan were helpless, and when they were about to agree, a sentence came from the crowd, "Ah, it's going to take three days." I'm not going to die. ”

"Hey, I don't know who's going to die next."

Deacon Bai stepped forward and said, "Three days is too long. Only one day. At this time tomorrow, whether the case is solved or not, the adults of the Criminal Department are invited to loosen the guards of the mountain gate, so that the students can enter and exit freely. ”

Guo Xi and Yun Pan had no choice but to agree.
