Chapter 402: The Assassination of House No. 25 Thirty-Seven
Candidates with a benevolent name can easily know when the cook in the room will leave, or they can keep secretly staring at the scholar's every move, and wait until he climbs over the wall to the next room, and then follows, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, to kill the scholar Zhongju from behind.
According to this reasoning, the scholar Zhongju, who was stabbed in the back, just fell on the pool of blood left by the pig killing before.
Then the blood that flowed out of his body covered the blood that had coagulated before, and after more than an hour, the blood of Scholar Zhongju gradually coagulated, and then it became the same as Mu Yirong and Seocho saw when they arrived.
Before the scholar Zhongju was killed, Mu Yirong and Seocho had not entered the room, and they didn't know what the pool of pig blood left on the ground looked like, so when they heard that the two cooks said that it was pig blood, they did not have suspicions.
But Aunt Hao and Aunt Ding, the two cooks, noticed the pool of blood on the ground, but when Dali Temple investigated the case, they didn't think much about it.
And after cleaning the blood stains on the ground, after thinking about it carefully, I found something abnormal.
If the gang is the first scene of the killing of scholar Zhongju, then, is there any useful clue that may be left here?
The floor of the kitchen had been cleared, and there was no trace of the pig's blood, and the firewood piled up in the house was more than half, and it seemed much empty.
Mu Yirong and Ruicao went around the room again and again, searching from the inside out, but they still didn't find anything abnormal.
Seocho was a little frustrated, Mu Yirong comforted softly, and said that since he knew the scene of the murderer's crime, it was not difficult to deduce the identity of the murderer.
Now that Enke has drafted the questions from scratch, the candidates have all returned to the inn where they lived before, which is just convenient for them to visit one by one.
The unwilling Ruicao nodded, and when she was about to leave with Mu Yirong, Aunt Hao, who had a smile on her face, suddenly asked Mu Yirong if she had already married a wife?
Mu Yirong, who was stunned by the question, subconsciously shook his head, and Aunt Hao immediately showed a bright smile and slapped Mu Yirong's arm suddenly.
"Lord Squire, my daughter is sixteen years old this year, and she looks very good, so she is just right for you. ”
Aunt Hao, who wants to marry her daughter to Mu Yirong, enthusiastically promotes her daughter, praising her daughter's strong body, big breasts and round buttocks, and she is definitely a life that can give birth.
Mu Yirong, who was helpless and embarrassed, looked at Ruicao, and Aunt Ding, who had some eyesight, saw the way out of the door, and hurriedly grabbed Aunt Hao, saying that a good man like Mu Yirong must have already decided to marry in the family.
Aunt Hao looked at Mu Yirong suspiciously: "Didn't Mu Shilang say that he hasn't married yet?"
"It's true that the official hasn't married yet, but he has already made a marriage. ”
Seeing that Mu Yirong's tone was full of some official skews, Aunt Hao's face suddenly became unsightly, and she muttered and complained: "Since you are married, why didn't you say it earlier, it will cause me to waste my tongue in vain." My fat girl is a good girl, and she will never be small. ”
Aunt Hao'er's disgusted and guarded eyes and tone were like Mu Yirong concealing that she had already made a marriage and wanted to deceive her daughter.
However, Mu Yirong remembered that the second aunt in the second room, Hua's family, had a maid who was also called a fat girl.
The appearance is very distinctive, with a big cake face, garlic nose, and beard, and it is easy to be arrested as a robber when he walks on the street.
If this fat girl is the daughter who is as beautiful as a fairy in Aunt Hao's mouth, Mu Yirong suggested that Aunt Hao go to the hospital to heal her eyes.
Leaving the room, Mu Yirong and Seocho searched the other rooms in the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy, but still found nothing.
The two had no choice but to leave the Gongyuan and go to the Laifu Inn in the west of Shangjing City.
Laifu Inn is the largest inn in the West City, which is full of students who have entered Beijing to take the exam this year, and several candidates of Renzi have lived here.
It's just that as soon as Mu Yirong and Ruicao walked to the door of the Laifu Inn where the red lantern was hung, they bumped into Teng Xuan, who was also going to enter the inn.
Teng Xuan, the invigilator of the Gongyuan Renzi, didn't seem to expect to meet Mu Yirong and the others here, and was slightly stunned, then turned around and wanted to leave.
Mu Yirong, who was frowning, hurriedly stopped the invigilator Teng Xuan: "Lord Teng, please stay." ”
Teng Xuan, who stopped stubbornly, turned around mechanically, showed an embarrassed expression, and said with a fluttering look in his eyes: "What a coincidence." ”
Coincidental?
Mu Yirong didn't believe that this was a coincidence, and asked the invigilator Teng Xuan with a smile which candidate was he looking for?
Teng Xuan, the invigilator who hurriedly waved his hand, said that he was just passing by. As he spoke, he looked up at the plaque hanging on the door frame and slapped his head sharply.
"Look at my confused memory, how I mistook this place for a tavern. ”
As he spoke, he bowed to Mu Yirong and bowed goodbye.
said that Mu Yirong was busy with official business, so he didn't bother much.
Mu Yirong, who was smiling, spoke up again: "Lord Teng, please wait a little longer, this official has something to ask for advice." ”
A thin bead of sweat climbed onto the invigilator Teng Xuan's forehead at some point, and he nodded obviously very uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"Mu Shilang doesn't know what he wants to know, and the subordinate must know everything, and he must say everything. ”
"This official remembers that your hometown is also in Guannai Daoning Prefecture, and you are the same townsman as the slain scholar Zhongju. ”
When Teng Xuan heard this, the sweat on his forehead became more and more dense, and he hesitated slightly before nodding: "Xiaguan is indeed the same villager as the scholar Zhongju. But the lower officials really don't know why he was stabbed to death. ”
Mu Yirong, who didn't answer this topic, continued to ask: "Xiaguan still remembers that the fellow villager who lived in the same room with scholar Zhongju in the Laifu Inn was also Xingteng. Are you the same as you, but the family?"
In the past few days, Mu Yirong has checked the household registrations of the candidates, invigilators, and scholars Zhongju and several friends and fellow villagers, and then found some information.
For example, Teng Huangyu, a fellow villager who lives in the same room with the scholar Zhongju, and Teng Xuannai, the invigilator of Renzihao, are from the same family with the same surname and clan, and Teng Huangyu wants to call Teng Xuan a cousin.
glanced at Mu Yirong, who was in the noisy hall of the Rifle Inn, and asked again: "Lord Teng came here, didn't he come to find your cousin Teng Huangyu?"
Teng Xuan, who just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, shook his head again and again, saying that he really just went to the wrong place, he had made an appointment with his friends to drink in a tavern, but he mistakenly saw the Fu Inn as a tavern.
Mu Yirong didn't ask Teng Xuan which friend he was with and which tavern he was in to get into, but threw out the last question.
"Lord Teng, I think you should have heard about it. This year's Enke exam questions were leaked, and the Holy Lord ordered Lord Honglu Temple to draft new questions. Then do you know that your cousin Teng Huangyu once gave the leaked Enke exam questions to the scholar Zhongju?"
Like my family, the immortal is a bird, and my family's immortal is a bird.
