Chapter 285: Gradually Becoming Aware of the Truth and Speculating
Zhao Xuan suddenly opened his mouth coldly, making everyone stunned. Kong Xiuru glanced at him in surprise and exclaimed: "Mr. Hong asked the point, this old man Wan didn't sleep at home in the early hours of the night, but ran out onto the street, which is extremely abnormal. It's just that we are all new here, and we don't know this old man, how do we know where he has gone and who he has met?"
"This ...... I know......" Yan Danchen said weakly.
"You know?" couldn't help but help Kong Xiuru, and everyone looked at Yan Danchen in disbelief.
I saw Yan Danchen cough dryly and said, "When I was arrested at the beginning, that Wan Gongzi was in the county hall. At that time, although my cultivation was sealed, my hearing was different from ordinary people, and I could still hear some conversations between the two people surnamed Wan Gongzi and the surname Shen in the inner hall...... According to their conversation, this Master Wan seems to have gone out at the right time, and the purpose is to find the county magistrate surnamed Shen. It's just that the county magistrate surnamed Shen said that he didn't see Master Wan visit last night, and the people in Hefu also said the same. I don't know if the man surnamed Shen lied, or if this Master Wan lied, but he actually went elsewhere. ”
"If Poor Dao is not mistaken, the previous Wan Gongzi was called Uncle Fan County Lingshi?" Zhao Xuan suddenly asked.
Yan Danchen nodded and said: "Yes, that Wan Gongzi also shouted like that at that time, it seems that the relationship between the two families is very close, otherwise that Wan Gongzi would not have handed over this matter to the surnamed Fan." At that time, the Wan Gongzi went to lead the body of Master Wan, and he was in a hurry, and he asked the surnamed Fan to find out the case and led the body of Master Wan away, thinking that he didn't notice me at all, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized me before. ”
Li Shuhu said to Zhao Xuan: "Do you suspect that Master Wan's death is related to Fan County's order?"
Zhao Xuan shrugged and said, "Suspicion, how is it possible, it's just a casual question." ”
Kong Xiuru said: "Master Fan is a student of one of my uncles. Although there is no entry wall. But I've also listened to a few days of classes. I don't think I will do anything to harm my compatriots. Now that we know very little, it is not appropriate to speculate with each other, so it is better to wait for Brother Yan to accompany me to see the scene of the crime tomorrow, and maybe we can gain something else. ”
Zhao Xuan yawned when he heard this: "It's just right, Poor Dao is also sleepy, everyone should go back to their rooms to sleep." ”
Kong Xiuru glanced at him: "That's fine, Xiuru won't bother Mr. much." ”
said that he was sleeping, but in fact, Zhao Xuan still left Zhang Bairen behind. Teach him the Dao Dharma.
A hurried night passed, and the next morning, everyone gathered in Zhao Xuan's room again, and Kong Xiuru said, "Would you like to follow me to the scene of the crime?"
Without waiting for others to speak, Zhao Xuan said: "You guys go, the poor road won't go." The left and right poor people don't know how to investigate the case, and they don't dare to be interested, so they don't go to join in the fun. ”
Don't know how to investigate the case? Kong Xiuru glanced at him with great suspicion, his eyes full of disbelief.
Kong Xiuru still remembers that yesterday when several people discussed the case again. Although Zhao Xuan didn't talk much, every time he spoke. Get to the point. Especially the reason why Master Wan was still outside so late, and the sentence "Master Wan is called Uncle Fan County Lingshi", it seems to mean something, and people can't help but guess whether he guessed something.
It's just that in the face of Zhao Xuan's insistence on going his own way and insisting on not going to the scene of the crime, Kong Xiuru was not reluctant, so he could only give up.
It's Yan Danchen, who said last night that he would take Kong Xiuru to the scene of the crime today, and to put it bluntly, this is still his business, of course he can't stay out of it, he must follow. And Zhang Bairen also felt that Kong Xiuru was helping them, and it was not good for them not to go, but they also had to walk together. Li Shu likes to be quiet, doesn't want to run outside, and doesn't care much about the case, so she chooses to stay with Zhao Xuan. Seeing this, Jin Yaoci felt that she was a woman and a few men outside, although there was her husband among them, but it was not very good after all, and she also chose to stay with Li Shu.
In this way, Yan Danchen, Zhang Bairen, and Kong Xiuru went outside to investigate the case, and at the same time took Master Wan's body to find an opportunity to go out of the city and bury it, while Zhao Xuan, Li Shu, and Jin Yaoci stayed in the inn.
Although Li Shu stayed at the inn, she also had doubts in her heart, and after Zhang Bairen and the three left, she couldn't help but ask Zhao Xuandao: "You really don't have any thoughts about Master Wan's death?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head: "The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say." ”
Li Shu: "......"
After sending Li Shu and the others away, Zhao Xuan walked to the window, stood and watched for a long time, and then closed the window door. Back in the center of the room, he sat down at the round table, took out the folding fan, waved it left and right, the light flashed, and the golden turtle suddenly appeared.
The little guy was a little confused and a little alert, as if he couldn't understand why the environment around him had suddenly changed. When he saw Zhao Xuan, he reacted, "Jiang Ang" groaned and rubbed his head affectionately.
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Little guy, from today onwards, how about you teach Poor Dao to learn the language in your mouth?" The Sound Transmission Soul Search Technique unfolded, directly imprinting the meaning he wanted to express into the Golden Turtle's mind.
"Gurgling...... "The golden turtle tilted his head, and there was a little doubt in his eyes.......
Zhao Xuan smiled: "It's just a poor way to say a sentence, you repeat it in your language, okay?"
"Jiang Ang, Jiang Ang!" the Golden Turtle nodded quickly, obviously understanding his words.
Zhao Xuanqu flicked his finger on the little guy's head, and said with a smile: "Okay! From now on, I will call you Jin Ao, this name is also appropriate." ”
"Jiang Ang, Jiang Ang!" the Golden Turtle nodded quickly again, and there was a little joy in his eyes, as if he was very happy.
If you pay attention, you can hear that the pronunciation of the next two "Jiang Ang" and "Jin Ao" is very similar, and it seems that he is learning to repeat.
......
In the evening, Zhang Bairen and the three came back together. After dinner, together with Li Shu and Jin Yaoci, gathered in Zhao Xuan's room, Kong Xiuru's face was a little serious: "It seems that our previous suspicions are correct, Master Wan's death is related to the demon clan, and it ......"
"It's very likely to have something to do with Fan County's order!" Zhang Bairen said on his behalf.
Zhao Xuan was surprised: "What do you say?"
Without waiting for Zhang Bairen to answer, Yan Danchen hurriedly said: "Today we arrived at the scene of the crime, and found that the scene had actually been destroyed by passers-by a long time ago. But fortunately, Brother Kong has a 'chasing the wind and shadows' technique, and he can track the enemy with his scent. Although a day has passed since the incident, Brother Kong can still distinguish his anger. Mr. Hong, guess what Brother Kong found there?"
"Demonic spirit?"
"Uh...... How do you know. ”
"Kong had already mentioned the demon clan before, and Mr. Hong had already guessed it. Kong Xiuru explained on his behalf and said to Zhao Xuan: "In the next 'chasing the wind and catching shadows', it is a 'magical power' formed by a poem, which is different from magic, and I think it is also because of this, Master Fan doesn't know about this section, so I can rest assured that I will wait for the investigation." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded clearly, he knew that the supernatural power was a magical ability, which was similar to the ability in the novel, without the medium, that is, the talisman seal, the spell seal, and it could be used directly if it was placed in this world as a trigger such as poetry. It is very difficult to obtain such a thing as supernatural powers, and it takes a great opportunity, and it seems that this Confucian cultivation itself is extremely not simple.
I heard Kong Xiuru continue: "...... I used my magical power 'chasing the wind and shadows' to catch the residual smell, and I did smell a very faint demonic aura. Following the tracking of the demonic energy, he suddenly found that the demonic energy had actually entered Lord Fan's mansion. Mr. may not know that Kong's supernatural power is very sensitive to the perception of breath, and the amount of breath left in a place is related to the time the owner of the breath stays. Through today's observation, it was found that the demonic qi had stayed in Lord Fan's mansion all night the night before. Not only that, Kong also found that there was indeed a remnant of Master Wan's breath in Lord Fan's mansion. ”
"Oh, what does that mean?"
"It shows that the person surnamed Fan is lying!" Yan Danchen said indignantly without waiting for Kong Xiuru to answer: "It must be that person surnamed Fan who secretly colluded with the demon clan and was accidentally seen by Master Wan, so he killed people and killed people!"
Zhao Xuan glanced at him with a smile, knowing that he was still angry about being caught inexplicably. But what he said is not impossible. But how can this kind of thing be said nonsense? Shaking his head, he said, "As a local parent official, Master Fan would not be so unwise to think about it. Maybe Master Wan did go there and stayed there, but Master Fan concealed this matter in order to escape responsibility. As for the remnants of demonic energy...... Maybe it was because the demon clan wanted to do bad to Master Fan, so he hid in the mansion. ”
"How is that possible?!" Yan Danchen expressed doubts about Zhao Xuan's nonsense.
Just kidding, if it's really like Zhao Xuan said, Fan County Ling concealed the things that Master Wan had been to in order to escape responsibility, then it would be really unwise! Besides, the county government is the middle of the imperial court, and the internal battle is in the array, although Fan County Ling is only a jinshi, but with the assistance of the official seal, it is almost comparable to Hanlin in it, and even in some aspects, it is even higher than Hanlin: for example, the sensitivity to the two lich clans...... Fan Xianling's family lives in the county office, how can they not notice that a demon clan has entered?
Kong Xiuru glanced at Zhao Xuan strangely, knowing that he was probably because he was present and distrusted him, so he said this. But this is also human nature, after all, the two are just new acquaintances, and he smiled: "What Mr. Hong said is not unreasonable, but in Kong's opinion, what Brother Yan said is also very likely." It's just that now we are waiting for insufficient evidence, after all, we can't speculate randomly, so as not to have ears on the wall and tell the truth. ”
"Then what should I do? Just let it go?" Yan Danchen obviously planned to do it with the Fan County Order, and when he heard that Kong Xiuru had the intention of staying out of the matter, he couldn't help but say loudly.
Kong Xiuru shook his head, his face became serious: "Collusion with the demon clan is a major matter against the species, can Kong Mouyan sit idly by?" It's just that now we have no evidence after all, in order to avoid wronging good people, we still need to thoroughly investigate this matter before we can make a decision!"
Zhang Bairen sighed: "What Brother Kong said is extremely true, colluding with the demon clan is a great disaster, and even the nine clans are not exaggerated, so we must be cautious and not harm the innocent." It's just that now we are trapped in the city and cannot get out of the city. And Brother Kong also said before that the demonic qi has now left the city, how can we investigate it thoroughly?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath, only Zhao Xuan still looked at Kong Xiuru with a smile. (To be continued......)
