Chapter 369: Assassination Case 4 of No. 25
Candidate Jun Jian has a lot of bad intentions, but he is very timid.
When he said these words, he cursed and swore again and again, saying that although he had friction with the scholar Zhongju, he definitely did not attack him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have screamed in horror when he found out that the scholar Zhongju had died.
After listening quietly to the examinee Junjian's narration, Seocho said expressionlessly that this may also be Junjian's self-directed and self-acting, in order to get rid of his murder suspicion.
Jun Jian, a candidate who was about to cry, was wronged and asked Ruicao not to wronged him, he really had nothing to do with the death of scholar Zhongju.
Moreover, he saw the murderer at that time, and he had already reported it to the imperial court and arrested him.
As he spoke, he looked at Ruicao and Mu Yirong suspiciously, and asked why the two didn't interrogate the suspect, but suspected of interrogating him?
It turned out that it was this scholar Junjian who reported Tao Dasheng as a murderer, and Seocho's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Some unreasonable people around, hearing Jun Jian's words, also felt that Dali Temple's aggressive interrogation here was a little strange.
Candidate Junjian was suspected of changing the topic, and after Mu Yirong quickly observed his expression, he felt that he was just simply puzzled, so he told him that investigating the scene of the crime and visiting and questioning was the accusation of Dali Temple. As for the interrogation of the suspect, it is in the hands of the Criminal Department, and it is hoped that he will actively and honestly cooperate with the questioning.
When candidate Jun Jian heard this, he immediately nodded clearly, raised his hand again and swore that everything he said was true, and if there was half a lie, he would be punished for not being able to win the gold list this year.
Hearing this gambling oath, Mu Yirong almost laughed, how confident this candidate Jun Jian is in his literary talent!
Ruicao, who has always had something to say in his heart, said directly to the candidate Jun Jian without giving face: "You may not be able to win, what's the use of making such an oath!"
Jun Jian, a very uncomfortable candidate, hurriedly said that he really didn't lie, if he did, he would punish him for the same thing as the scholar Zhongju.
This oath is vicious enough, but listening to the two of them, they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
Mu Yirong, who saw the change in Seocho's mood, hurriedly spoke first, and continued to ask the candidate Junjian, saying that he only found out that the scholar Zhongju had died after convenience, and he did not see anyone committing the murder, how did he assert that Tao Dasheng was the murderer?
Candidate Jun Jian, who swallowed his saliva, hurriedly replied that he came to Shangjing to catch the exam, and happened to live in the same Laifu Inn with candidate Zhongju.
Just two days ago, there was a candidate who was familiar with the scholar Zhongju who wanted to live in the Fu Inn. But at that time, there was only one room left in the Laifu Inn, and it happened that Tao Dasheng also wanted to stay.
At that time, the two walked to the counter of the passenger station almost at the same time to check in, but the scholar Zhongju thought that it was his friend who was one step ahead of Tao Dasheng and deserved to get the room.
However, Tao Dasheng insisted that he and his friend from the scholar Zhongju arrived at the same time, and there was no distinction between before and after, so they should compete fairly and guess the winner. Whoever wins, the remaining room goes to whomever it is.
And the scholar Zhongju, who has a board and a glance, insists that it is his friend who is one step faster, adhering to the principle of first-come, first-served, and there is no need to guess with Tao Dasheng to win or lose.
The owner of the Laifu Inn saw that Tao Dasheng was tall and big, like a mountain bandit leader, and he didn't look very good-tempered, and he was worried about fighting in his inn, so he suggested that the scholar Zhongju's friend live with Zhongju and give the room to Tao Dasheng.
Tao Dasheng thought that the innkeeper's suggestion was very good, but the scholar Zhongju said that he was already living with a fellow villager, and he really couldn't live there, so he asked his friend to open another room.
Tao Dasheng said disapprovingly, Zhong Ju and Zhong Ju's friends just squeezed the three of them, and gave him the room, or he had no place to live, so he had to sleep on the street.
Zhongju, a scholar who likes theories with people, naturally refused to back down, so he chased him on the street and knocked over the goldfish stall.
At that time, Jun Jian was watching the excitement in the inn, and secretly hoped that Tao Dasheng would teach the scholar who refused to admit defeat a good lesson. As for the small body of the scholar Zhongju, it is estimated that he will be punched by Tao Dasheng, who is as strong as a bear, and he will not have to take this year's Enke exam.
Jun Jian, a candidate who witnessed the dispute between Tao Dasheng and the scholar Zhongju, said that when he was at his convenience last night, he saw a black shadow jumping from the courtyard of the house to the next room.
It's just that he slept in a daze at that time and didn't care, thinking that someone was hungry, so he went to the room in the middle of the night to open a small stove.
But when he found out that the scholar Zhongju of the same township was dead, he immediately recalled that figure, which was obviously the Tao Dasheng who had a dispute with the scholar Zhongju before.
It must have been Tao Dasheng who had a friction with the scholar Zhongju before, and he was unhappy, so he broke into the examination room and committed murder.
Candidate Junjian's inference is not tenable at all, first of all, although scholar Zhongju had friction with Tao Dasheng, but after the two got acquainted with Mu Yirong and Ruicao, they immediately turned their rivalry into jade silk and became friends, and they also agreed to drink together in the future, and there was no such thing as holding a grudge at all.
Second, the examination institute that the candidates entered into the examination hall of the Gongju Academy was immediately assigned, and Tao Dasheng, who did not participate in the Wenju examination, had no way of knowing which examination institute the scholar Zhongju was in.
Even candidates who are also taking the Wenju exam may not necessarily know which examination hall the other person is in. Unless, it is a person in the same examination center, or a person who is familiar with the Renzihao examination center where the scholar Zhongju is located.
Even if Mu Yirong and Tao Dasheng are not familiar with each other, and judging from his previous investigation experience, Tao Dasheng is unlikely to be the murderer.
The person that candidate Jun Jian saw at night was nine times out of ten someone else.
Next, Mu Yirong asked candidate Jun Jian again, when did he see the black shadow suspected of Tao Dasheng?
After carefully recalling it, the candidate Jun Jiandao should have been between the ugly hours at that time, when the sky was just about to dawn, but it was not yet bright, it should be between early morning and dawn.
Mu Yirong nodded, then looked around and asked, "Last night, who else noticed an abnormal movement, or who had a night in the middle of the night?"
Yesterday's exam subjects were "Ming Jing" and "Ming Zi", and the exam lasted for several hours, so it can be said that the candidates were in a highly concentrated exam all day long, and the feeling of physical and mental exhaustion can be imagined.
Sleepy in spring and lack of napping in summer, and cool weather in autumn, many people who are already physically and mentally exhausted fall asleep groggily after dinner.
The rest of the people, after reading a book for a while, or exercising for a while in the narrow courtyard of the examination hall, also went back and forth into their respective dormitories and fell asleep.
A rough estimate of the time should be at the end of the day, and all the candidates in the Renzi number have fallen into a state of deep sleep.
After Mu Yirong calculated the time in his heart, he asked the few people who went to bed late, did anyone notice the situation of the scholar Zhongju at that time?
