Chapter 22 Puppet Town (5)
"He Jian's identity should be that he has a crush on Lin Meiren. Judging from the silence shown in his character, he and Zuo Si may have become enemies because of love?" Hua Rong didn't want to persuade her, so she discussed the clues with Shu Li first.

"Based on this portrait, it is indeed very possible." Shu Li held the cracked sword and was more concerned: "The blade is damaged like this, like a murderer hiding the murder weapon."

"It's just..." Shu Li glanced at the shop again and said, "Actually, he just wiped the blood and put this sword together with the others, so it's not so obvious."

"The evidence that is too obvious is often not the murderer." Hua Rong said.

It was indeed possible. Just as Shu Li was about to speak, she felt a small bump on her hand.

Shu Li lifted it up and identified it carefully.

"Yunfan Hotel..."

Shu Li: "..."

Huarong: "...poof..."

She didn't doubt Shu Li, but she just found this change very interesting.

The broken sword was turned around twice in the hands of Lin Mei and Hua Rong but these four little words could not be found. Shu Li saw it and blew himself up just 2 minutes after taking it...

"Don't worry, I think you..." Hua Rong paused deliberately: "... your identity is not so stupid that you would put evidence on someone else's territory."

"Thank you, I have been comforted!"

Lin Meiren, who didn't find any more clues on the other side, finally gave up. The three of them set off towards the last stop, Qianjin Bookstore, while exploring their existing guesses.

"I think Bai Shu is more suspicious than He Jian!" Lin Meiren said seriously.

Huarong immediately added: "Don't take it personally."

Lin Meiren rolled her eyes: "This is my intuition. The last copy I relied on was my intuition."

"When facing men, men still have more equal rights to fight. How can we three girls have the ability to cut their throats with a knife face to face?" Lin Meiren is really not talking nonsense. According to common sense, this is true.

Huarong said: "Actually, if he is undefended, it is not impossible. When ordinary people are completely relaxed and unguarded, they are indeed easily hurt by people weaker than themselves."

"But the wound won't be that deep, right?" Shu Li asked.

"Yes. With such a deep wound, it is difficult for him to do it without defense, given our size." Hua Rong added: "Moreover, there is no trace of secondary injury, just a sword to seal the throat."

"So, the focus is still on the three boys." Lin Meiren's eyes were shining.

"That's right." Huarong smiled and they arrived at the place.

Qianjin Bookstore is next to Huarong's flower shop. The fragrance of books, ink and flowers and trees overflows, and there is a strange and fresh fragrance.

Shu Li stood there stroking her chin and said abruptly: "Is it possible that there is an emotional line between you two?"

I thought Huarong would remain silent even if she didn't blush, but unexpectedly she raised a charming smile and said, "Hey, that's really profitable."

Shu Li: "..."

She is awesome.

Qianjin Bookstore is divided into two floors, with mahogany walls and gold paint, and the atmosphere inside is even more impressive.

The downstairs is full of tall bookshelves spaced in an orderly manner, except for the counter at the entrance, which is a wide space separated for checkout.

Not to mention the second floor where you can’t see the whole thing.

The three of them looked at each other, and Lin Meiren felt that she was about to suffer from study fatigue.

"There are so many books, so you don't need to look through them, right?" She said weakly, trying to save herself.

Although Qianjin Bookstore looked clean and tidy at first glance, Lin Meiren felt that it was much more difficult to search than He Jian's place.

Hua Rong also fell silent, and Shu Li suggested: "Why don't we search the second floor first?"

"There can't be so many books, right?" Shu Li also felt a little guilty.The three of them unanimously decided to go upstairs first, leaving aside the bookshelves downstairs for the time being.

There are three large rooms upstairs, a master bedroom, a study room, and another room filled with many musical instruments.

Although there are many musical instruments, you can still see the traces of careful maintenance.

"One room per person?" Hua Rong suggested with a smile.

Although Shu Li was puzzled, she wasn't one to force things, so she readily agreed.

So, Lin Meiren searched for the musical instrument room, Huarong searched for the bedroom, and Shu Li searched for the study.

The study room has a square layout, and the furnishings inside are all ordinary.

Shu Li even felt that the wood used here was not as good as the bookshelf downstairs.

The tables and chairs were covered with dust. Just looking at it, Shu Li felt that it had not been used for a long time.

Shu Li didn't want to touch it, but there was a piece of paper pressed with an inkstone on the table, and the ink stains on it penetrated into the back.For fear of missing a clue, you can’t just ignore it.

Shu Li twisted a corner with her nails and turned the paper over.

She flicked the dust on her hands frantically while struggling to decipher the words on the paper.

This is a letter written to my family, but it has not been sent.

The letter briefly described how he was ridiculed at home, rejected by his parents, and even locked in the basement.

The second half of the letter was almost all about praising the girl he loved, the girl who saved him, and the person who gave him a beam of light.

Apart from this, there are no clues in Bai Shu's study.

Shu Li simply went downstairs and searched inside the counter.

The counter is divided into three levels. The top level is an open account book, the middle level is a list of all the books on the bookshelf, and the bottom level is a box with money.

Shu Li flipped through a few pages of the account book. Although there was nothing strange about it, the fonts on it always made Shu Li feel a little awkward.

For a while, she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she took out the book list and looked through it.

Most of them were chronicles with the names of various places, and there were also personal chronicles of strangers. There was no place or person whose name Shu Li had ever heard of.

Shu Li saw the name of the book "Qi General Zhi" on it, and wanted to see if there were any other records about puppets, so she searched for it according to the registered location.

Shu Li looked at both sides of the bookshelf as she walked, and had to say something about Bai Shu's attentiveness.

There is a small round stone inlaid at the bottom of all books. If the book is still there, it will be the symbol of a small flower. Otherwise, it will show the appearance of a small tree.

You have to be a scholar, so meticulous!
Shu Li looked up at the place where the books were placed. The dozens of books around the place where "Qi General Zhi" was originally placed were no longer in their places, but they were all still with the sign of Xiao Hua.

Early this morning, the cause of Zuo Si's death was reported, and everyone rushed over.

There are also normal marks on the account books that were checked yesterday, which can only mean that these books were stolen last night.

This also proves that Bai Shu went out last night.

Bai Shu's departure time can be used to verify the time of the wrong month.

Thinking of this, Shu Li suddenly remembered something that she had ignored.

No, or should I say, ignored by everyone.

Under that person's deliberate neglect...
