Chapter 36 The truth comes to light
Xu Yunfeng stroked his moustache with a hint of pride and said:
"It's simple. Shen Liu's death."

Shen Liu?

Zeng Anmin remained silent and continued to look at Xu Yunfeng.

"As a martial artist, a martial artist of high rank, a healthy and alive person, he started coughing up blood due to illness in just a few days and passed away not long after. Isn't this a bit strange?"

"If someone tampered with Shen Liu's death, who is the first suspect?" Xu Yunfeng looked at Shen Jun leisurely.

"I guess it must be Mr. Shen who wants to take over the caravan as soon as possible!"

“Total nonsense!!”

When Shen Jun heard Xu Yunfeng's words, his face turned red instantly.

He wished he could rush up right away and bite this wretched Xuan Jingsi Shangguan to death.

"My uncle treats me like his own son, how could I possibly do such a beastly thing?! Not to mention taking over the fleet, even if I could give away all my wealth to return it to my uncle, if I hesitate for a moment I will be unworthy of being raised by a human being!!"

Obviously, being slandered like this has touched his bottom line.

As a result, I now speak inappropriately in various situations.

"How dare you to commit treason, do you want to die?!!!"

A man in red clothes suddenly looked cold and drew the sword from his waist.

Xuan Jingsi doesn’t care which big merchant you are the young master of.

Zeng Anmin smiled faintly, he looked at Xu Yunfeng and said:
"You Dianli's words really enlightened me."

"Oh?"

Xu Yunfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, with a relieved smile on his face:

"Brother, do you agree with my inference?"

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Shen Jun's body trembled, and then he looked at Zeng Anmin in disbelief.

Those who were close to Shen Jun also looked sad.

Of course, there were also a small group of people who subconsciously clenched their fists, their faces becoming nervous and excited...

"No, your words make me more certain that Mr. Shen is not a suspect."

"Shen Liu has no descendants, and Shen Jun is the only legitimate son of the Shen family. He only needs to follow the routine and live a rich life, and smoothly take over the fleet a hundred years after Shen Liu passes away."

"Why bother? He is rich, not sick."

"And more importantly..." Zeng Anmin slowly looked towards Shen Jun.

Ok?
Xu Yunfeng paused as he was stroking his beard and looked at Zeng Anmin in surprise.

Zeng Anmin raised his lips slightly, he slowly came to Shen Jun and said softly:
"You've never practiced martial arts?"

Shen Jun looked a little confused, and he nodded subconsciously:

"No, I have been weak since childhood, and forcing myself to practice martial arts will shorten my life."

"you sure?!"

Zeng Anmin's eyes narrowed.

"Sure." Shen Jun was increasingly confused about what Zeng Anmin meant.

There were also many servants around who testified for Shen Jun: "Young Master has indeed never practiced martial arts."

"Yeah, we all know that."

"Young Master, I have watched him grow up since he was a child."

"........."

Hearing this, Zeng Anmin nodded with a smile. He looked at Zhenzhu who was beside Shen Jun and said softly:

"He wanted to strangle a woman in her early thirties to death without alerting anyone."

"Can an ordinary man do that?"

His voice was very soft, but everyone present heard it clearly!

In a word, all thoughts are straightened out.

"This……"

"These two people can hear Mr. Shen scolding Mrs. Shen Liu. If Mr. Shen wants to strangle Mrs. Shen Liu to death, the noise will definitely be much louder than just scolding..."

Zeng Anmin's face was serious, and his voice slowly reached everyone's ears:

"Not to mention him, even if he is a strong man, it is impossible for him to do this."

"So, the murderer must be at least a high-ranking warrior!"

Zeng Anmin's eyes swept over them one by one.

The impact of those almond-shaped eyes was so great that many people lowered their heads and dared not look up.

"So your speculation was made by the fleet's guards?"

The Shen family is based on a fleet and is in charge of transportation, so it is natural for them to have a defensive foundation at home.

A sneer flashed across Xu Yunfeng's face.

"Let's not talk about whether those guards had motives or not. If they did it, these two servants wouldn't be alive today." Zeng Anmin's eyes were extremely calm.
"Moreover, if the murderer wanted to enter the mourning hall in front of the two servants without being noticed, it would be impossible, unless a warrior of the third rank did it himself."

"But, it is impossible for a mere merchant's wife to be involved with a warrior of the middle third rank."

Zeng Anmin slowly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the main hall, and there seemed to be a hint of animation in his eyes.

It was the animation of the murder case at the funeral hall that day.

"Strictly speaking, this case is a closed-room murder."

"The crime was committed in a closed room, and the murderer was a martial artist."

"There also needs to be a motive for murder..."

"There is only one person who meets these criteria."

Zeng Anmin slowly looked towards the crowd.

At this point, the mystery is solved! !

"Who?!"

Xu Yunfeng asked subconsciously.

Everyone looked at Zeng Anmin nervously.

"Shen Liu in the coffin."

Zeng Anmin slowly uttered a name that gave everyone goosebumps.

In an instant, the whole yard became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

When all the impossible is eliminated.

The remaining one is the truth no matter how incredible it is.

After reading the file that day, Zeng Anmin carefully considered all the details in the file.

In fact, before coming to the Shen Mansion, Zeng Anmin had never paid attention to the other deceased.

It was not until Xu Yunfeng's words came out that he had a new idea.

How could he not see that, although Xu Yunfeng seemed to be helping him solve the case, he was actually directing all the blame towards Shen Jun?

This Xu Yunfeng, his words were flawless.

But Zeng Anmin could still feel that he wanted to guide his thoughts, so that he could completely convict Shen Jun of the crime of murdering his aunt and then bring him to justice.

So what is his purpose in doing this?
Zeng Anmin slowly lowered his gaze to the main hall of the Shen Mansion.

Don't know yet.

But he had a vague feeling that Xu Yunfeng's actions were related to the Prince Jiang's Mansion.

"This...isn't it too bizarre? I saw my uncle's body with my own eyes."

There was an expression of incomparable absurdity on Shen Jun's face.

He felt like he was listening to a divine book.

"After a warrior reaches a certain level, there will be some magical things."

Zeng Anmin raised his eyelids and said, "It's not difficult to fake death."

"This……"

Shen Jun was dumbfounded.

This reasoning was too bold...he simply couldn't accept it.

"Your aunt seduced you before the funeral and must have said some unpleasant things, right?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Shen Jun indifferently.

Shen Jun nodded with a grim expression.

Zeng Anmin remained calm and his voice remained steady:

"This is Shen Liu's motive for murder."

"As for why he faked his death..."

Zeng Anmin glanced at Xu Yunfeng inconspicuously and sighed softly:
"It should be that he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and he was afraid of implicating his family."

“Hahahaha!! Ridiculous!!”

Xu Yunfeng burst into laughter at this time. He even felt that Zeng Anmin had gone crazy. His laughter was very loud:

"In my opinion, Zeng Zuoshi should resign from the Xuanjing Division and go to a teahouse to be a storyteller! He will surely make a lot of money by telling gripping stories!"

Who can't hear the sarcasm in these words?
Zeng Anmin just sneered:
"All you need to do is go to the tomb, open the coffin and check it out. Whether what I said is true or not, won't you reveal it immediately?!"

"absurd!!!"

Xu Yunfeng suddenly stopped smiling, raised his chin, his mustache trembling, and looked at Zeng Anmin with a cold face:

"The dead are gone, Shen Liu has been buried for many days, but Zeng Zuoli still handed the case over to me. Although I am not a master at solving cases, I am more reliable than Zeng Zuoli's nonsense!!"

Zeng Anmin sneered:
"We are just opening the coffin for an autopsy. Why is Xu Youli so worried?"

Xu Yunfeng's face changed after hearing these ambiguous words.
