Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 118 I Know How to Solve the Case!
When the poisoned scholars were carried out one by one, Zaoyi Wuhou began to wash the ground with fire-fighting equipment, and the smell of the school compound finally dissipated.

Everyone rushed in, especially the officials from the Ministry of Punishment, who ran the fastest.

Li Yan, Di Renjie, and Pei Xingjian didn't compete for this moment's success, and came to the door in a leisurely manner.

Seeing Doctor Chen sitting on the ground, sweating profusely, he was too tired to speak.

Li Yan was filled with respect, stepped forward, and sent a stream of pure inner strength of alchemy to help him regain his energy.

With his help, Doctor Chen's vitality finally recovered, he nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you, Li Jiyi."

Li Yandao: "No need, we should thank you for the parents of doctors!"

Doctor Chen was very moved in this era, and he said, "Please rest assured, Li Jiyi, Mr. An Xiaolang is not in danger anymore, he is strong, not deeply poisoned, and he vomited in time. Next, he will cultivate for a while." months, it will recover."

"That's good!"

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but his pupils shrank when he heard that it was a month: "Where are the other scholars?"

Chen Yu said: "It's almost the same. They are not too poisoned, and they can recover after a good rest. It's just that they will not be able to participate in this imperial examination."

The three of Li Yan exchanged glances, and Pei Xingjian asked: "If we have to ask these scholars these few days, can their bodies support them?"

Doctor Chen showed a look of embarrassment: "I'm afraid I can't, I have to wait at least ten days!"

The faces of Li Yan and the three of them all sank.

The empress only gave ten days to solve the case, but the interrogation has to wait until ten days later?

Li Yan said coldly: "What a vicious plan, as long as the murderer pretends to be weak and doesn't answer our questions, he will be invincible. Even if we find out that he is hiding in it, it is difficult for us to torture all the sick and weak scholars." ?”

Pei Xingjian said: "The murderer definitely didn't know that the sage would ask us to solve the case in a few days, but the impact of this case is bad. The more it drags on, the more damage will be done to the court's majesty. When the news spreads, the next imperial examination will be deeply affected!"

Seeing that the two leaders had finished speaking, Di Renjie could only say: "That's true."

Li Yandao: "Huaiying, first take us to the scene where Zhang Yang died. The key to solving this case lies in this person!"

Guided by Di Renjie, everyone came to Zhang Yang's room.

It was a rule in the Zhenguan period to arrange dormitories for Xinke scholars.

Later, as Li Zhi attached great importance to the imperial examination, he simply built this stretch of courtyard houses in the imperial city to provide free accommodation for scholars from other states.

Although many students still have to find a place to live due to the limited space, the needs of some people have been met.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect good conditions. The people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice rushed in first, and once they stopped in the room, it was crowded.

Seeing the officials of the Ministry of Punishment circling around Zhang Yang's body, Li Yan didn't bother to squeeze with them and looked at the books that fell on the ground.

Every scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam was the pride of heaven in the local area, especially Zhang Yang, who failed repeatedly in the exam.

Because Wenjie is not made for life, but becomes invalid after the annual tribute.

In the second year, if I want to go to Beijing to take the exam, I have to take the state-level exam again.

In other words, Zhang Yang basically has to maintain his status as the number one student in the city's first-level college entrance examination every year in order to come here to take the exam many times.

That's all for other books, Li Yan also saw Taoist classics such as "Tongxuan Jing", "Nanhua Jing" and "Baopuzi".

Zhang Yang's examination is Jinshi, but there are so many Taoist classics, it seems that he is really obsessed with Taoist culture.

Many of these books were soaked in the filth and were kicked aside by officials of the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Yan thought of the stains on the diary just now, and Di Renjie's flipping pages, and understood Pangpang's good intentions: "That diary was also soaked in filth at that time?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Zhang Yang fell by the bookshelf, the books were scattered on the corpse, and the diary was in it, which was stained with filth. This should be designed by the murderer. I hope that the person who found the body will take this key book when cleaning up the filth. All the evidence will be cleaned up..."

"Zhang Yang's death was very painful. His neck was covered with scratches and several nails were cracked. Judging from the flesh between his fingers, he should have strangled his neck when he couldn't breathe, so that blood was dripping..."

"There is a desk here. There is a cup of buttermilk on it. I drank most of it. I don't know if Zhang Yang drank it himself or used it to entertain the murderer."

Hearing Di Renjie's concise description, Pei Xingjian became more and more impressed with him.

Thinking about how talented this man has been in the prefecture and county for more than ten years, after Pei Xingjian plans to go back, he will further optimize the merit assessment of the county lieutenant.

But thinking about Li Jingxuan, the real head of the Ministry of Officials, he sighed again.

Difficult!

Li Yan thought about it: "The murderer and Zhang Yang are indeed acquaintances. They came here late at night to discuss the matter of pills, and then they will kill the killer."

Three days later, the imperial examinations will be held. Many students have been burning candles for the past few nights, studying hard all night, hoping for the final sprint.

If it weren't for such an atmosphere, Zhang Yang's elixir would not have sold so well.

A total of more than [-] scholars bought it and took it together tonight, hoping for the miraculous effect of never forgetting it.

Thinking of this, Li Yan asked: "When did Zhang Yang start selling pills?"

Guo Yuanzhen also followed in, and replied: "Since this morning, I have just confirmed with those scholars who did not take the elixir that Zhang Yang's first target is Su Weiwei. After Su Weiwei refused, he lied that Su Weiwei has already taken the pill to attract the attention of others."

Di Renjie didn't know Su Weiwei, so he was a little strange when he heard the words: "Isn't anyone asking this Su scholar for proof?"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled wryly: "Su Weiwei is self-reliant on his talent, has an arrogant personality, and is very out of company, so no one goes to ask for proof. However, many scholars have heard of his talent, and seeing that he is taking pills, they bought it."

"Moreover, Zhang Yang started taking this pill ten days ago. According to him, every time he takes the pill, he writes a lot of good articles, and circulates those articles to everyone. Believe in him, so if you sell it today, there will be many people asking for it."

Li Yan said coldly: "It seems that he came prepared. Why did he do this kind of thing? The name of the picture? For profit?"

Guo Yuanzhen shook his head: "I don't know, but ten pennies a pill doesn't seem to be expensive..."

"Ten coins for one piece..."

Li Yan murmured, and suddenly asked: "More than fifty people were poisoned, and Zhang Yang sold more than one hundred pills before and after. Where is the money for selling medicine? Go inside and search!"

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaojie, Qiu Shenji and others who also rushed over took orders, immediately walked into the room and began to search.

During the process, the two sides inevitably pushed and shoved.

But under the threat of Qiu Shenji's fierce eyes and Peng Botong's huge body, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment still backed away.

However, the money was not found.

The consistent money here, the accurate name is a string of money, and the string is the rope through which copper coins are worn.

Throwing up a thousand Wen coins, it's a big lump, and it's heavy in your hand.

More than a thousand coins, several big bags can't hold it, so it stands to reason that it is extremely eye-catching.

But Zhang Yang's room was obviously not there.

The Ministry of Punishment was concerned about the corpse at first, but when they saw them searching, they also realized the strangeness, and as soon as they made a gesture with their eyes, someone ran out immediately.

Li Yan, Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian turned left and right again, and came outside the courtyard, silent.

Pei Xingjian, the most official, looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan, the second most senior official, looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie also wanted to look at others, but he was the youngest, so he could only look at his own toes.

But my stomach has grown bigger these days, and I can't even see my toes for a while, so I smiled wryly.

In the end, it was Li Yan who said: "Now that the clues are gathered, there are two major doubts."

"The first is that Zhang Yang started taking pills ten days ago, not to mention whether the effects of his Wensi Ruquan are real or not, at least the pills he used are okay, otherwise he would have been poisoned, and today he sells pills on a large scale , All the scholars fell down after eating it, which means that the medicine pill was probably stolen, how did the murderer do it?"

"The second is Zhang Yang's money from selling pills, more than a thousand coins. How did it disappear? Where did it disappear?"

After Li Yan finished speaking, he fell silent.

In his present wisdom, the analysis ends here.

How to find the murderer next is at a loss.

First, the murder weapon could not be found, and the murder weapon was the pill, which was eaten.

The second scene was extensively destroyed, and vomit was everywhere, making it difficult to find clues such as footprints.

Thirdly, the suspects cannot even be interrogated, because the scholars are now in their weakest state, and according to Doctor Chen, they will have to wait ten days for questioning.

Di Pangpang was also silent.

This is the limit of wisdom.

For some problems, there is no solution, no solution, no matter how smart you are, there is no solution.

Seeing that the two had changed from two to two, Pei Xingjian also knew that the case was really difficult, so he said, "Everyone, go back and rest first, come back tomorrow, maybe there will be new clues!"

As soon as this remark came out, he looked down on the current ethos of the inner guards, Di Renjie immediately said: "Leader Pei Ge, Li Jiyi, I'll go to the scene again!"

Qiu Shenji, Guo Yuanzhen and others also pleaded: "So do we!"

"go Go!"

Pei Xingjian was in awe of this perseverance, watched the crowd disperse, and searched for all clues as much as possible.

"Jia Sibo, is this another case you set up?"

Li Yan looked in the direction of Dali Temple Prison, and somewhat realized Tubo's advantage over Datang.

The side that takes the initiative to attack is really taking advantage.

Every time Jia Sibo sets up a case, it is actually not complicated.

But because he is the one who takes the initiative to strike, what he finds is the key point of the target, so he can often design it precisely and lethally.

The difficulty this time is a race against time.

"If I trigger my talent and reach the state of detective, not only will my wisdom increase to 15 points, but there will also be more clues and hints. Can I overcome obstacles and quickly solve the case?"

Li Yan knows that there is no if in the world, and if it is not triggered, it is not triggered.

Although in Jia Sibo's eyes, he has always been a detective.

It’s also interesting to think about what Jia Sibo said when he was arrested: “What I admire most about Yuan Fang is that she usually pretends to be stupid to confuse others, and only shows extraordinary wisdom at critical moments...”

Li Yan was quite angry at the time, but now he is relieved.

After all, he was really a little bit stupid at that time, and he hated being called stupid, but now he is smart, and he can say what he likes.

"The Liangzhou case hasn't been that long, but it's interesting to recall!"

Li Yan pressed the center of his eyebrows, and just about to join the overtime crowd, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a bold idea suddenly jumped into his mind:

"Wait a minute, if that's the case..."

"I know how to solve the case!"
