Chapter 53: Luck
After the people dispersed, An Ying whispered to Yun Pan: "Mourn." ”
From yesterday's dinner, it can be seen that they were friends when they were young.
Yun Pan's face was expressionless, and Xiao Yi gritted his teeth on the side and said, "That scholar surnamed Zhu is really hateful. We all know that he killed people, but there is no witness, no physical evidence. He was still laughing there. ”
"He also instigated students to make trouble, which is really vicious!"
"Jin Dan and I were separated last night. The body was found by students at noon today. During this time, no one came from the vicinity, and no one could provide clues. ”
Guo Xi's face was full of sadness, and he asked, "Did Master Su say when he would come over?" Have anyone who gone to Wu County come back? ”
Xiao Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, "There is no news, it is estimated that it will be these two days." ”
An Ying suddenly said, "Why did Zhu Zhuzhi kill Master Jin?" ”
Xiao Yi said: "Isn't it just to let Master Jin bear the sin of killing Zhu Kexin?" It's just that I didn't expect to be spotted by you on the spot. ”
Yun Pan and Guo Xi were silent.
"So far in this case, we have no direct evidence, it is all speculation, there is no way to make Zhu Zhuzhi subdue, he can wait. Wait until the case is closed. ”
"Now that the academy has a lot of people from the Criminal Department, he has to take a great risk to kill Master Jin."
An Ying lowered his head and pondered, "Unless Master Jin is alive, he is more at risk." So the thing that made him so worried was nothing more than Zhu Kexin's death. ”
Yun Pan smiled when he saw An Ying bowing his head. She was very devoted, dressed in the clothes of a coarse cloth servant, but with unquestionable majesty. He collected his thoughts and began to keep up with An Ying's rhythm.
"Jin Dan doesn't even know that Zhu Kexin can't distinguish red and green, and he doesn't have a deep friendship with Zhu Kexin."
An Ying asked, "You and Master Jin were drinking and chatting last night, were anyone else seeing you during the time?" ”
Yun Pan shook his head, "No one has ever been in the library, let alone at night. ”
An Ying said as she walked: "It has been five or six days from the time the Criminal Department received the case to the time when it entered the academy, plus the misjudgment of the capital government in front of it. It stands to reason that Zhu Zhuzhi should have ample time to destroy all the evidence. ”
Yun Pan continued: "So he just found out, what might Jin Dan know?" ”
An Ying nodded, "You and Master Jin's drinking is an emergency, and no one should predict it." So I'm sure he was nearby last night, and he saw or heard something about Master Jin and Zhu Kexin. And this incident made him have to take a risk and kill Master Jin. ”
Yun Pan shook his head and said, "After you left last night, we basically talked about the past, and it had nothing to do with Zhu Kexin. ”
Yun Pan thought as he walked, suddenly looked around and flipped up the books on the shelves: "These are some Confucian classics. ”
Guo Xi disagreed: "Aren't these books in the academy?" ”
"No, someone has touched these books. Someone rummaging through what?! Yun Pan walked quickly among the bookshelves, looking back and forth.
He said as he walked: "Jin Dan doesn't like to read Confucian classics the most, he likes the collection of tablets and posts, travelogues and miscellaneous books. He has a bad arm, so he usually puts the ones he often looks at within his reach. Now many books in the lower layer have become Confucian classics, and the upper layer has upside down his favorite "Water Jing Note" and "Qiren Ji", especially Liu Shan's long annotation "Qiren Ji" He likes it the most, and he will never put it in a place where he can't reach it. ”
An Ying nodded, "He couldn't reach the top of such a low bookshelf last night, let alone these big bookshelves." ”
An Ying suddenly thought of last night's conversation and said, "Yun Pingshi, I remember that Master Jin said last night that he still had a lot of Zhu Kexin's paintings here, but he didn't know where to stuff them?" ”
Yun Pan nodded.
Guo Xi: "Could it be that Zhu Kexin's paintings have evidence of Zhu Zhuzhi's murder?" It's been so long from last night to noon today, and there is evidence that he has taken away. ”
Yun Pan looked around the library, "Let's look for it again." I think Zhu Zhuzhi may not have found it? ”
"Why do you say that?"
"The college has a rule that there are usually morning reading classes in the morning. I asked Deacon Bai, everyone in Class A was there early this morning. The rest of the time, Zhu Zhuzhi has time witnesses. Zhu Zhuzhi must have come in and killed Jin Dan after I left, so the only time he could find it was after last night's ugly time, and the period was only two hours. ”
"This library has five rooms and two floors, and if you only find the lower floor, it will take ten days and a half months."
"What's more, he doesn't know that Jin Dan's arms can't be lifted high, so he finds each bookshelf from the beginning to the end."
An Ying nodded, "It's true that the library can't be finished in two hours, but it can't be ruled out that Zhu Zhuzhi is lucky, and he will find it in one go." ”
Yun Pan looked at the small stove on the table that had not yet been cleaned up, his heart was gloomy, and as if he had figured it out, he tied his cuffs and said in a deep voice, "Then let's see whose luck is good!" ”
Xiao Yi, An Ying and Master Guo couldn't help but be boosted by him, and nodded one after another, and Guo Xi called a few guards to come in and find him.
An Ying suddenly remembered what his younger brother An Tong said, and pulled Yun Pan to the second floor.
"My younger brother told me that day that he had met Zhu Kexin painting on the second floor, and there were many paintings of his predecessors on the second floor. At that time, Zhu Kexin painted a white figure, that is, a portrait of himself. Then he inserted his own paintings into the pile of works of his predecessors. ”
Yun Pan nodded: "Actually, Zhu Kexin is extremely confident in his paintings. ”
He took a few steps into the second floor, looked around carefully, and couldn't help but be excited.
"He didn't have time to turn over the second floor! You see, it's all dust. ”
An Ying also became excited, and called Xiao Yi to come up and rummage together.
Yun Pan quickly found the bookshelves of the pile of former herringbone paintings, and several people opened them one by one.
As the minutes passed, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and more and more calligraphy and paintings were sorted.
An Ying and Xiao Yi are not good at reading these paintings and calligraphy, so they can only be anxious on the sidelines.
At this time, An Tong, who was sent out by An Ying, was brought back.
"How?" An Ying hurriedly asked.
An Tong was a little nervous when she saw the official of the Criminal Department for the first time, looked at Master Guo, and still plucked up the courage to say: "Sister, you asked me to go to Ge Niangzi to ask, these notes are indeed taken by Zhu Kexin, she only knows how to write, not very good at writing, let alone such esoteric poems."
"And I also visited the whole alley, where the people live are all coolies, and none of the little ladies can write poems and paint, so these things can only be Zhu Kexin's."
Guo Xi exclaimed: "How is this possible? How can I be mistaken in that handwriting? ”
At this time, Yun Pan also heard it, he took a scroll of calligraphy and paintings, and said, "It seems that God has given us luck." ”
Guo Xi, An Ying and Xiao Yi ran to see the calligraphy and painting in surprise.
Yun Pan said: "I almost know why Zhu Zhuzhi killed Zhu Kexin and Jin Dan. I hope that Lord Su will arrive in time tomorrow. ”
