Chapter 253: Late Night Investigation

In the afternoon, Lei Luo had been in Jinshan Academy, accompanied by Lu Linglong to study the book, but at this time, he was obviously not in this way, so naturally he couldn't listen much.

In the evening, he walked with Lu Linglong again and returned to the Lu family's mansion.

"Lei Gongzi, that's all for today, I'll come to you again tomorrow," Lu Linglong said with a blank face.

"Thank you Miss Lu for your guidance, I'm a little tired today, so I'll see you tomorrow," Lei Luo was also used to it, so he said with a fist salute.

"Then Lei Gongzi, say goodbye," gently lifting the skirt, Lu Linglong also returned the salute and said goodbye.

However, after seeing Lu Linglong walk away, Lei Luo did not return to his courtyard.

After jumping high, he flew to the roof of the small courtyard, and then flew in the direction of Jinshan Academy.

On the way, he saw a large number of students and scribes, one after another, walking out of various academies and private schools, and then walking in different directions in the city, thinking that they had finished their day's homework and went home.

Lei Luo naturally ignored these people and flew to the eaves of a slightly higher house, where he could clearly see the inner courtyard and square of the Golden Mountain Academy.

Seeing that there are still students busy coming in and out at this time, and the lights in the academy are gradually lit, I think that some students are ready to light up the lights and study at night, and this is not the best time to enter.

I have been waiting for more than an hour, after the sky gradually darkened, it was already night, at this time in Jinshan Academy, most of the lights were also extinguished, obviously there were not as many people as imagined.

"It's time!" Lei Luo flew down without hesitation, his body turned into a black shadow in the air, and landed in the compound of Jinshan Academy.

Following the direction in his memory, he went straight to the room where he met with Dean Kong during the day, and had already inquired with Lu Linglong before he came, in the room full of classics, the bookshelves were all the information of the students in the academy and some college accounts, so if you want to check the Xiucai who committed suicide, you naturally have to go to that room.

Because of the blessing of the Breathing Technique and the Evil Control Technique, Lei Luo easily avoided the people patrolling the academy, and after avoiding some students who were still studying at night, he came directly to the outside of Dean Kong's room.

The divine sense was released, and no one was confirmed in the room, Lei Luo hurriedly performed the Dividing Swordsmanship, and attached the power of the divine sense to the wooden pin behind the window, and with a slight click, the wooden pin was pushed open by a soft force, and the window was not locked.

After looking left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, Lei Luo quietly pushed open the window, and then flew into the room, and after glancing at the books in the room, he could only release his divine sense and began to examine it carefully.

"The Xiucai who committed suicide was born in Jinshan Academy, and the time of suicide was before the announcement of the imperial examination last year, and this person happened to participate in that imperial examination, there must be something strange about this matter!" Lei Luo calmly analyzed in combination with the information written on the file.

"Found it!" On a row of bookshelves, Lei Luo's divine sense finally found a roster, which was the ranking of the students of the Jinshan Academy faction in the annual imperial examination.

Lei Luo hurriedly opened the book and rummaged through the rows, and after a while, he found last year's imperial examination ranking, and also found the ranking and information about the dead Xiucai.

"The second and seventh place in the gold list, Li Tianyi, born in Jinshan Academy, lives in ......" Lei Luo looked at a line of words in the roster, and muttered slowly.

Seeing this line of information, Lei Luo also understood that this person could never commit suicide because he felt that his ranking was too poor after the scientific examination and he was ashamed of his family and teacher's cultivation.

"The biggest dream of a student is the title of the gold list, it is impossible for someone to commit suicide before the results of the imperial examination are announced, and he ranks second and seventh on the gold list, it is impossible to commit suicide, a good future is still waiting for this person!" Lei Luo noticed a hint of strangeness.

"Since suicide is impossible, it can only be murder!" Thinking of this, Lei Luo glanced at the other party's residence by the way, then put the book back in its place, turned over and left the room, and did not forget to put the windows and wooden pins back in place before leaving.

This Li Xiucai's residence is in a dilapidated courtyard on the border of Xicheng District and Beicheng District, when Lei Luo followed the address to this place, he found that it had been abandoned for a long time, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and quite depressed.

At the gate of the courtyard, there was also a notice pasted, on which the words 'Tiger Dart Bureau' were actually written at the beginning, and Lei Luo naturally glanced at the content of the notice when he saw this.

On this notice, it probably shows that after this Li Xiucai committed suicide, there was no one in the house, and then this courtyard was idle, and finally bought by the Tiger Dart Bureau from the government.

"The Tiger Dart Bureau is the force on the surface of the Tiger Hall, does this matter have anything to do with that person named Ah Hu?" Lei Luo guessed after thinking about it after seeing the notice.

Coming to the place, with the mentality of looking for it, he still walked into this small courtyard, released his divine sense, and began to rummage for clues.

This Li Xiucai may really be a hard-working scholar, or someone from the Tiger Hall came to take some things, Lei Luo rummaged here for a long time, and only found some pots and pans.

In line with the principle of prudence, Lei Luo released his divine sense again, directly covered all the courtyards, did not miss a single thing, and carefully checked it again.

"What is that under the earthen kang?" Suddenly, Lei Luo was quite surprised

In his divine consciousness, under the earthen kang, a boxy box appeared in a piece of debris, and the previous divine consciousness only swept the earthen kang and debris, so this small box was missed.

Although it was possible to see the contents of the box through the enhanced Divine Sense, Lei Luo still walked into the house and found the box from under the dirt pit by himself.

This is an iron box more than three feet long and one foot wide, which should have been buried under the earthen kang by that Li Xiucai, and then a bunch of sundries were placed on it, I don't know what it was to cover up.

When Lei Luo opened the iron box, he found a long oilcloth bag and several books, and when Lei Luo took out the oilcloth bag and opened it, he found that it was actually a painting inside.

After opening a few books, Lei Luo immediately flipped through them, only to see a few lines of large characters written on the first page of the first book, and Lei Luo was slightly surprised after a glance.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent, My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good!" Lei Luo repeated himself.

Then I opened the other books, and found that they were all poems and songs of love, and looking at these handwritings, most of them were written by the same person, and they were transcribed by one person.

"This Li Xiucai won't be someone he likes, showing love can't be a suicide!" Lei Luo guessed a little speechlessly.

When the scroll was opened, there was a woman in front of Lei Luo, who was wearing a white shirt, a blue tunic and a purple culotte, with a beautiful appearance and a dusty temperament.

And the woman in the painting wears many jewelry, sapphire waist ornaments, cufflinks, and forehead with a touch of forehead, the most attractive thing is that the woman's eyes and pupils are like sapphires, but this woman's face is cold, her expression is flat, it's not Lu Linglong!

"No, this Li Xiu likes Lu Linglong, so he drew a portrait of the other party, and then showed that his love was rejected, so he committed suicide!" Thinking of Lu Linglong's indifferent character, Lei Luo could only guess like this, and felt that this was very likely.

"No!" After opening all the scrolls, Lei Luo found something unusual, this painting was not painted by Li Xiucai.

"In this painting, the fuchsia hakama is made of cinnabar red, this Li Xiucai's family is poor, it is impossible to have the money to buy this kind of paint, and he will hide this painting, indicating that it is not painted in the academy, and the painting in the academy will be known, so the situation is a little complicated," Lei Luo also saw some clues.

"This painting may have been painted by someone else and given to that Li Xiucai!" "After thinking about it, Lei Luo said with some certainty.

However, this time, when I got here, the clue was broken, someone else drew a painting of Lu Linglong, and then gave it to Li Xiucai, this painting was not signed, and there was no mention of words, how could Lei Luo find it.

After feeling that the night had been in vain, Lei Luo put the painting in a storage bag, and then set off towards the Lu family's mansion.
