Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 300 Found him!

The two made up their minds in this way, and then started their patrol mission in the Gongyuan.

Time flies, the sun slowly sets, Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang finished their patrol mission, and they returned to the rest area.

In the rest area, Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang began to exchange today's patrol situation with the rest. The two of them did not patrol together. Instead, they came separately to search for clues in the Gongyuan, but nothing unusual happened to the two of them today.

"How are you doing there?"

Zhang Chen looked at Zhu Yipin.

"There are some clues, but we couldn't be too sure here."

Zhu Yipin was hesitant. They still got something in the afternoon, but there were many scholars with the same surname in the tribute courtyard, so they didn't dare to confirm it.

"Oh!"

Bai Zhantang was interested, but they hadn't gained much this day.

"We went to investigate the scene of Suzhen's death before, where we found a scholar surnamed Lin who may be related to him. In the afternoon, we also found a lot of scholars surnamed Lin, but we can't take them directly. ?”

Zhu Yipin briefly talked about the case, and then replied with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Chen nodded, expressing his understanding. They need to be cautious when handling such cases. They cannot easily draw conclusions and take actions. They must have sufficient evidence and basis.

This is the Chunwei exam. They can't directly take down many suspects right now. They must really confirm who they are, and they must have evidence before they can act.

"Don't be discouraged. We still have time to investigate one by one. It will definitely not take a day or two to find the real culprit. We need patience and perseverance."

Bai Zhantang encouraged them, saying that they don't have anything else now, but they really have plenty of time, and this exam will take ten months to finish.

…………

After a period of investigation, Zhang Chen and others finally confirmed the suspect.

"It's this guy!"

Standing by the corner, Zhang Chen pointed to a scholar not far away and said.

"Looking gentle, doesn't it look like you have a relationship with Suzhen?"

Zhu Yipin touched his chin and said.

"Hmph, knowing people, faces but not heart, who knows if Suzhen was deceived by him."

Liu Ruoxin snorted coldly and said, when they were investigating the scene, she felt that Suzhen might have been killed by this scholar.

"Okay, okay, everyone is your own person, don't make noise, we have found the person, so what should we do next?"

Bai Zhantang hurriedly tried to persuade them to quarrel, the public couldn't let them quarrel.

"Uh~"

Speaking of the point, the two sides stopped arguing, but they couldn't make up their minds.

"Don't wait any longer~"

Zhu Yipin said tentatively.

Now that scholar is still answering questions, he is afraid that if they catch him but it is not him, then the future of this scholar will be gone, and secondly, they will also take certain risks.

"When will it be? Time waits for no one." Liu Ruoxin frowned.

"Now is really not the time, do you have any solid evidence, the kind of evidence that we can do something to confirm that he is the murderer?"

Zhang Chen then asked, Ren Yijing cannot escape here, and what they lack now is the evidence to stare at him. However, according to Zhang Chen's knowledge, this guy may have just suffered an innocent disaster.

"What Xiaochen said makes sense. We can definitely inquire about his background first. By the way, you said his relationship with Suzhen? Let's see if there are any clues."

Bai Zhantang also suggested aloud.

"What you said, after a few days of unannounced visits by us, the general situation has been grasped, but the only conclusive evidence is a similar sandalwood box"

Zhu Yipin patted the dust off his body, then recalled what happened at the scene before and said.

"That's right, I also asked the residents living nearby. If there are any suspicious people or things, they must know about this young scholar."

Liu Ruoxin added what Zhu Yipin said, they were not idle in those few days.

"Hey, look!"

Yang Yuxuan suddenly pointed at the scholar and said.

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, but none of them noticed anything unusual. The scholar was answering the question vigorously.

"what happened?"

Bai Zhantang asked suspiciously, in his eyes, that scholar was no different.

"No, I seem to know what Yang Yuxuan is talking about. Look at how he is different from the scholars around him."

Zhang Chen noticed the clue, and then motioned everyone to look at the scholar.

"Hey, the answering speed is so fast, as if you don't even need to think."

After Zhang Chen's guidance, Liu Ruoxin was the first to discover the difference between him and the scholars around him. His answering speed was too fast.

"What can this explain? What if it's because someone writes with skill, or because he's a good learner so he doesn't need it?"

Bai Zhantang said indifferently, this alone can't explain anything.

"But have you noticed? He didn't even pause when answering the questions, as if he had practiced in his mind?"

Liu Ruoxin pointed to the hand of the scholar who was writing vigorously and said.

"That's right, I also noticed just now that his eyes have been staring at the paper, but the pen in his hand seems to be answering instinctively."

Zhu Yipin also agreed, even a genius can't even stop thinking, such a person can no longer be called a genius.

After everyone gathered and played with their findings, the expressions on their faces changed drastically. Everyone noticed that this scholar was cheating, but what did his cheating have to do with the victim Suzhen?This is also a question, could it be that Suzhen was killed because this scholar cheated?
These questions popped up in the minds of several people investigating the case.

"I don't know if Suzhen had a collection of imperial examination books when she was at home. If she really had them at home, then this scholar's cheating behavior has something to do with Suzhen's murder."

Liu Ruoxin made a guess.

Zhu Yipin felt that Liu Ruoxin's guess was very reasonable, but at that time the focus of their draft was on the handkerchief, so they planned to go back to the scene of the crime and conduct another investigation to see if they found anything between Xiucai and Suzhen. connect.

"Let me tell you what's good about you. The question now is whether this scholar cheated or not. The question now is whether the imperial examination questions were leaked. This is even more terrifying than this person from the same boat club."

Zhang Chen supported his forehead and said, don't they think that the matter of this scholar is more important?The focus now should be on the leakage of the imperial examination answers.

　Thanks for the support!
