Beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down Teng Xuan's chin, he raised his hand, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, bit his back molars, and denied it, not knowing about it.

Moreover, he also spoke righteously, posing as if he was killing his relatives with righteousness, and said to Mu Yirong with an innocent face: "Mu Shilang, that candidate Teng Huangyu is indeed the nephew of the same sect of the lower officials. However, Xia Guan has been in Beijing for many years and has not had any contact with him, and he didn't even know that he took the Enke exam this year. But if he really buys the exam questions, he asks the adults to deal with it, and the lower officials will not tolerate it and intercede for him. ”

In a few words, he picked himself cleanly, although Teng Xuan looked timid and honest, his brain was still very fast.

Scholar Zhongju was stabbed to death in the examination room, and this incident can almost be concluded to be committed by people in the examination room.

Today, when he met Teng Xuan, an invigilator with an abnormal demeanor, at the door of the Rifle Inn, Mu Yirong had some speculations in his heart.

"On the night of the assassination of scholar Zhongju, did you really not see anything?"

This was asked by Ruicao, and she felt that the murderer killed the scholar Zhongju, and then transported his body from the next room to Renzi No. 25 House, and there must be traces of blood dripping during this journey.

It is unlikely that the candidates and invigilators who can carry the corpses and clean up the traces can not alarm the candidates and invigilators of the Renzi number to complete these things alone.

If it is said that there are helpers for the murderer, then the best helper is undoubtedly the person in the Renzi name.

Teng Xuan, the invigilator with chapped lips, kept swallowing saliva, but he looked a lot calmer, and when he heard Seocho's question, he shook his head again, indicating that he was sitting at the door that night, drowsy, and didn't notice anything abnormal.

Speaking of this, he said goodbye to Mu Yirong and Ruicao again, saying that if there were no other problems, he had to rush to the appointment, so as not to make his friends anxious and think that he was an unpunctual person.

Seeing Mu Yirong nodding, Teng Xuan immediately bowed to the two of them and said goodbye, and his footsteps flew away.

Looking at Teng Xuan's back as he left in a hurry, Ruicao asked Mu Yirong, did he notice anything?

With Teng Xuan's weak-hearted appearance, he must know some of the inside story of the death of scholar Zhongju, and it is even very likely that he is an accomplice of the murderer.

The key is that there must be evidence to prove that Teng Xuan is related to this case.

And this evidence can be found from his nephew of the same clan, Teng Huangyu.

Mu Yirong and Seocho, who had been standing at the door of the Rifle Inn for a long time, finally walked into the inn, and the little two who were full of vision immediately stepped forward to greet the guests, but when they saw Mu Yirong and Seocho wearing official clothes, they hurriedly laughed and said: "Two adults, are you here for business, for dinner, or to stay in the hotel?"

Mu Yirongdao, who took out his waist card, investigated the case and asked if there was a candidate Teng Huangyu from Ningzhou who lived here?

Xiao Er heard that Dali Temple was investigating the case, and hurriedly led the two to the counter, and explained to the shopkeeper the intention of Mu Yirong and the others.

The round innkeeper has a round head and a big nose, and looks like people build snowmen in winter.

Hearing that Dali Temple came here to investigate the case, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the guest check-in register to look through it, but he didn't find this name.

"Zhongju, a scholar from Ningzhou, how many rooms does he live in?"

Teng Huangyu and scholar Zhongju lived in the same room, and it may have been that when they registered, they only registered the name of scholar Zhongju.

Hearing Mu Yirong's inquiry, the round shopkeeper flipped through the roster of occupancy and enthronement again, and at the same time couldn't help but ask Mu Yirong curiously, did the two people he was looking for commit something?

"Don't inquire if you shouldn't. ”

Seocho remembered this sentence for some reason, but the round shopkeeper said with a aggrieved face that he asked in order to prevent any lawbreakers from living in the store.

Smiling, Mu Yirong asked the innkeeper not to worry, they just came to ask the scholar a few words.

The innkeeper who happened to find the name of the scholar Zhongju nodded busily, and informed Mu Yirong that the guest room opened by the scholar Zhongju was Xiangzi, on the third floor, and went up to the first room on the left of the stairs.

Mu Yirong thanked the shopkeeper of the Round Inn, gave Ruicao a look, and the two walked towards the stairs.

Looking at Seocho's back, the shopkeeper of the Round Inn couldn't help but mutter: "Women are too fierce, be careful not to marry." ”

Seocho, who was walking up the stairs, heard the whisper of the shopkeeper of the round inn with the tip of his ear, and immediately turned around and glared at him viciously.

The shopkeeper of the Round Inn was startled, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: You can hear it like this, isn't it a pair of cat ears!

Mu Yirong and Seocho, who stepped on the third floor, moved two steps to the left and stopped at the door of the Xiangzi guest room.

Mu Yirong gave Seocho a cautious look, and then reached out and knocked on the door.

After the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded, there was no sound of response inside, and Seocho asked Teng Huangyu if he was not in the inn?

Mu Yirong frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and pushed the door of the guest room, and the wooden door immediately opened inward with a "squeak".

And at the moment when the door opened, Mu Yirong and Seocho saw at the same time that there was a person standing near the window facing the door, one foot had stepped out of the window, and he was about to jump off.

"Don't jump, if you jump, you'll break your hands and feet. ”

The man riding on the windowsill did not listen to Seocho's loud dissuasion, leaned out, and jumped out of the window.

A loud "bang" came from the window, and Mu Yirong and Seocho hurriedly ran to the open window and looked down.

A young man in a gray robe fell to a vegetable stall below, then rolled to the ground, looking up with great effort.

The light man has towering cheekbones, no flesh on his cheeks, and is not tall, which is the fellow villager Teng Huangyu of the scholar Zhongju.

Seeing Teng Huangyu stumbling up from the ground and stumbling away, Seocho hurriedly stopped again: "Don't run." ”

As she spoke, she jumped out of the window on the third floor of the Rifle Inn.

Mu Yirong, who wanted to stop him, took a step slower, and when he saw that Seocho jumped off and landed firmly on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief and jumped out after him.

In the crowded downtown area, Teng Huangyu, who was limping, kept running forward. After pushing away two passers-by, he flashed and turned into an alley.

Seocho, who quickly dodged the passers-by, also walked into the alley, but she didn't see Teng Huangyu, but was stopped by a few ruffian-looking people.

These ruffians and hooligans, all with big shoulders and thick waists, have reached the season of autumn rain and cold, and they still seem to not feel the cold, wearing cardigans and short hexagrams, with bare arms, and their strong chests exposed.
