Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"what?"

"They gave each other a knife?"

"This……"

When everyone heard Qin Wenyuan's words, their faces changed.

Even Chu Suiliang looked surprised.

When they saw the situation in front of them and the two of them lying in a pool of blood, their first impression was that they might have been murdered by thieves.

But who could have thought that they would be killed by each other.

Qin Wenyuan listened to everyone's exclamations and said calmly: "In fact, the scene is already very obvious."

"You can think about it. If there was a third person when the two of them died, the blood would not have spurted out in a fan shape like this."

"There's definitely something that's missing."

“But what about the scene?”

"Except for the area behind the two people where there was no blood, everywhere else there was normal fan-shaped splatter."

"So, this clearly proves that there are only two of them here."

Sishe suddenly asked, "Master, what if there is someone standing behind them? In that case, when the blood splatters, it will be blocked by the two of them and will not splash onto the person hiding behind them."

"Nice idea."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "It's good to be able to think for yourself and not completely trust the judgment of others. It's worth praising."

Snake's face turned red instantly.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Qin Wenyuan would praise him like this for just asking a question.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Go and check on their wounds."

"They were all injured in the chest area, and the wounds were straight and facing outwards, which means that the dagger that stabbed into their chest must have been stabbed horizontally."

“And to do this, except for the person standing opposite them, no one else can do it.”

"But based on the bloodstains on their clothes, we can tell that they were the only two people facing each other at the time, and there was no one else."

"Therefore, the possibility of hiding behind them is gone."

Snake thought for a while, then nodded suddenly.

"So that's it."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Think about it more. When you go back, you can also try it out."

"Of course, don't take a real person. You can buy a pig's lung, fill it with water, let it expand, and then pierce it with a knife to let the water inside splash out. In this way, you will have an intuitive feeling gone."

“Experiment more, think more, analyze more, and these experiences will naturally become your own skills.”

Sishe nodded quickly: "I understand, thank you, Master."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said no more.

At this time Chu Suiliang frowned and said: "So there is no third murderer, the two of them killed each other."

"But why?" Chu Suiliang was puzzled.

Xu Gou said: "Maybe they had a quarrel? In anger, they accidentally killed each other?"

Qin Wenyuan laughed and said, "Look at their clothes. Do they show any signs of disorder?"

Everyone looked over there.

Then I saw that both of them were wearing their clothes neatly, without any wrinkles on them.

"No." The Dog is very honest.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Why not?"

"This..." Xu Gou scratched his head and shook his head truthfully: "I don't know."

Qin Wenyuan was amused.

He looked at the waiter again and asked, "Has anyone heard any noise coming from this room?"

The waiter shook his head hurriedly: "I just asked, and the people in the nearby rooms said they didn't hear any sound."

"That's right."

Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "The two of them didn't quarrel, and their clothes didn't have any wrinkles, which means that they didn't push or shove each other."

"That is to say, when the two stabbed each other to death, they were both very calm and composed."

"This... why is this happening? Why would we stab each other to death for no reason?" Xu Gou was confused.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Don't you understand yet?"

"They didn't fight, they didn't fight each other, they died because... they had to die."

"Because they know some secrets, and they are not sure if they can keep these secrets."

"So, they have no choice but to die!"

At this point, Qin Wenyuan sighed softly: "They are really two loyal people!"

Chu Suiliang and others were slightly stunned when they heard Qin Wenyuan's words.

They stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, staring blankly at the two people lying in a pool of blood, their hearts filled with shock and fear.

Xu Gou's eyes widened immediately and he said, "Master, what you mean is... these two people, they, they are all Beichen's men?"

"Did they die in order to protect Beichen's secret?"

Sishe and others also looked at Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan walked slowly towards the window, and as he walked, he said calmly: "When the clues and evidence point to this point, no matter how shocking their direction is, it is the truth."

"The room Beichen lived in did not give him any chance to escape, and he had never been to the lobby on the first floor, let alone walk out of the main door."

"But he did disappear, so...how did he disappear?"

"No one in this world can disappear out of thin air. No one has such ability, not even Beichen!"

"So, he must have left in some way."

"And there are no secret passages and organs in the inn, so if you want to attract people's attention and not be discovered by others, there is only such a room that can do it!"

Qin Wenyuan walked to the window, pushed hard with both hands, and pushed the window open.

The fresh breeze from outside blew in, sweeping away the heat in the room.

Qin Wenyuan looked out the window and said, "Only here are there alleys with few people and backyards with no one to leave."

"Beichen is such a cautious person, he would definitely leave a way out for himself, so this room..."

"It's obvious that this is the way Beichen left for himself!"

"He did this on purpose so that his confidant could rent this place as a fallback. If anything unexpected happens, he can leave here quickly!"

"In order to prevent us from knowing that he left here as quickly as possible, his two confidants can only stay here to delay time so that we can't know in time that Beichen left here."

"Thereby providing the greatest opportunity for Beichen's evacuation."

"And when Beichen left safely, their value would be gone, so they were afraid of revealing the secrets about Beichen and the Big Dipper Society, so they used this method to prevent themselves from revealing the secrets forever by dying."

"This is their loyalty to Beichen, so I just said that they are two truly loyal people."

When everyone heard Qin Wenyuan's words, they didn't know what to think.

Anyway...it's complicated.

Beichen is cunning and difficult to deal with.

The loyalty of these two people...

They didn't know whether they should hate these two people for making them lose the best chance to hunt down Beichen. Or they should admire them, at least... loyal people are always worthy of respect.

Qin Wenyuan waved his hand and said, "Xu Gou, let someone collect their bodies. Putting aside the faction, their loyalty without fear of life and death is worth burying."

Xu Gou nodded quickly: "Yes, I understand."

Qin Wenyuan looked out the window and saw that the window faced a remote alley...

The alley is not too big, and it is connected to the back doors of some nearby mansions.

The back door is usually where servants go when they occasionally go out.

In this era, servants have very little freedom.

Therefore, there are very few people in the alley, and sometimes there may not be even one person walking by in a whole day.

The other end of the alley is directly connected to the busy road.

Therefore, if he could enter the alley, change his appearance, disguise himself, and blend into the crowd, even a god would not be able to find this cunning fox in Chang'an City with nearly one million people.

Qin Wenyuan walked to another window, pushed it open, and saw the backyard of the inn outside the window.

The backyard is usually where people like waiters and cooks live.

When it's busy, there's basically no one in the backyard.

There is a back door in the backyard, and outside the back door is a busy road.

So, no matter where you go, as long as no one is paying attention to this place beforehand, you won’t be discovered.

In addition, the two of them stayed here, even Chu Suiliang was deceived. No one paid attention to the room here at all, and naturally the best opportunity to hunt them down was lost.

Therefore, Beichen is now like a mud dragon entering the sea, and it is very difficult to find it.

However, Beichen escaped.

But the clues he left behind are indelible.

And this will also become Qin Wenyuan's greatest reliance in taking action against Beichen.

"I couldn't do it before, I knew nothing about you, but now... you already have an image in my mind."

"Beichen, do you think you can really escape from my grasp?"

The breeze blows gently, making the willow branches sway.

Qin Wenyuan withdrew his gaze from the window, and there was no disappointment or shame on his face because of Beichen's escape.

Some are just calm and indifferent.

It was as if Beichen's final escape had no effect on Qin Wenyuan at all.

Qin Wenyuan glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go. Since Beichen has already escaped, there is no point in staying here."

After saying this, he calmly walked out of the room.

Chu Suiliang chased after him and couldn't help but say, "Master Qin, don't you care? We were just a little bit away from catching Beichen."

Qin Wenyuan chuckled when he heard this.

He was very chic and straightforward, and said with a smile: "For people like us, there are only two results in everything, either we can do it or we can't do it."

"There is never any room for just a little difference."

"Don't even mention that I was almost there. Even if I had grabbed Beichen's arm, Beichen would have cut it off and then escaped... That still didn't change the fact that he escaped. In the end, I still didn't do it."

"So, if it's not done, it's not done. I never think about things that are just a little bit off or not a little bit off."

"Because the facts are already there, no matter how much you think about it, what else can you do except to sigh sadly?"

What Qin Wenyuan said was simple and clear.

For him, there are only two outcomes for anything.

Did it, didn’t do it!

Apart from this, there is no third outcome or emotion.

Therefore, feelings such as disappointment and regret absolutely do not exist for Qin Wenyuan.

Because Qin Wenyuan never bothers himself.

He only thinks about the next goal. If he fails to achieve it this time, he will just do it next time.

Instead of regretting because you were just a little bit short of achieving it.

This kind of emotion is the most useless to him.

That's why he can be so carefree and indifferent.

It felt to Chu Suiliang, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of the world, and Chu Suiliang only felt admiration.

After all, Chu Suiliang himself couldn't do what Qin Wenyuan did.

In Chu Suiliang's view, this was an idea that only a hermit could have.

But he doesn't have it.

In these turbulent times, how many people can see things clearly?

Qin Wenyuan walked out of the inn without hesitation and said, "Withdraw all the troops. There is no need to continue guarding the inn. It will affect the business of the inn and make the people more nervous."

He looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "Mr. Chu, you will officially take up your post at the Dali Temple from now on."

"After this incident, His Majesty and all the civil and military officials in the court have come to know your abilities and will be grateful for what you have done."

"So your path in the Dali Temple has been paved. When you handle cases in the future, they will cooperate with you even if they only consider this favor. You don't have to worry about meeting someone like Hou Junji who refuses to cooperate, as I did at the beginning."

When Chu Suiliang heard this, his heart moved.

His eyes widened slightly, and he realized only now that the reason why Qin Wenyuan used this to test him was not only to see his true ability, but also to pave the way for him!

After all, Chu Suiliang was an official of the previous dynasty!

After all, Chu Suiliang had never entered the core circle before.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang's rash joining of the core circle and taking up such an important position as Shaoqing was bound to cause dissatisfaction among others.

But after what happened today, they will definitely not be dissatisfied with Chu Suiliang anymore.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang's future path will be smooth!
At least, it will be smoother than Qin Wenyuan's at that time.

And all this was Qin Wenyuan's plan.

Qin Wenyuan solved these troubles for Chu Suiliang without realizing it!

one stone two bird!
Extremely exciting!

At this moment, Chu Suiliang realized how terrifying Qin Wenyuan really was.

Control everything silently.

This ability is truly terrifying!
Similarly, Chu Suiliang admired and respected Qin Wenyuan even more.

He was very smart and could understand Qin Wenyuan's painstaking efforts for him.

He took a deep breath, then bowed deeply to Qin Wenyuan and said, "Thank you, Lord Qin!"

"From now on, I will follow the orders of Master Qin. As long as Master Qin tells me to do something, I will do it no matter how hard it takes!"

"If you break this oath, God will strike you with lightning!"

Chu Suiliang looked determined and made a vow directly.

Qin Wenyuan simply helped Chu Suiliang up and patted him gently on the shoulder.

His eyes were deep, as if there were stars shining in them.
