Chapter 54 The Last Question
Chapter 54 The last question
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Seeing the fake Qiu Yongnian being troubled by the guards almost brutally, Xu Zun was startled and thought he was going to cut off his tongue and silence him!
But he soon discovered that the guard was willing to put his hand into Qiu Yongnian's mouth, as if he was looking for something carefully.
At the same time, another person carefully searched Qiu Yongnian, not even letting go of his ears or hair.
After fiddling for a long time, the two guards let go and retracted the pliers-shaped object.
Looking at the fake Qiu Yongnian has already been tilted and his eyes are slanted, his hair is messy and he is extremely embarrassed.
But even so, the two guards behind them were still holding the chains tightly and did not dare to relax at all.
"Sorry," Cai Kun said, "this is the process of the Neiwei Mansion. Nowadays, poisons are too cheap."
oh……
Xu Zun then realized that after a long time of trouble, they were afraid that this fake Qiu Yongnian would commit suicide by taking poison.
Professional enough!
Xu Zun admired him. The time point for the inner guards to pounce on him was just right. Even if there was really poison in Qiu Yongnian's mouth, he wouldn't have time to take it!
"Okay," Cai Kun waved his hand and asked Qiu Yongnian, "Now, I can tell you who you are? Why do you frame Mr. Shen? And, where did that jade pendant come from?"
"Ha...hahahaha..." The fake Qiu Yongnian suddenly laughed, "I just said that I still haven't figured out a few questions. Once I've explained them clearly, I will tell you the truth!"
"Problem?" Li Yan glared, "You actually have any questions?"
"Xu Zun," the fake Qiu Yongnian glared at Xu Zun, "I ask you, what did you do to judge that he committed suicide? Is it because you found that his arm was broken?"
"Wrong," Xu Zun answered readily, "The answer is - Lock!"
"Lock?" Qiu Yongnian was puzzled.
"When you found You Dalang dead when he hit a wall in the prison, Zhao Yu smashed the lock in the cell because he had no key," said Xu Zun, "You didn't notice, I quietly took away the lock.
"Later, I went crazy on purpose to go to the prison that day, just to ask for the head's key.
"As a result, I could not open the lock with the key of the prison head!
"From this, I made two judgments: First, someone changed the lock instead of the key, so You Dalang was killed by him!
"Second, the suspect of the prison head can be ruled out."
"You..." Qiu Yongnian took a breath and asked in confusion, "When did you become so smart?"
"Hahahaha," Xu Zun borrowed an ancient poem to show off, "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at me for not seeing through!"
"You... are you pretending to be confused?"
"Wrong, it's rare to be confused!"
"This..." Qiu Yongnian frowned and asked again, "What about Liu Zhang? Do you know why Liu Zhang's body appeared in the iron coffin?"
"Of course I know," said Xu Zun, "Do you still remember the day before the Iron Coffin Case, I, Master Liu, and the situation you met in the Second Hall by chance?
"At that time, you said that Liu Zhubu was a little absent-minded.
"I later recalled the details at that time and found that Liu Zhubu was not absent-minded.
"When he saw me, he was a little panicked, but he responded freely without any problem.
"But after meeting you again, Chief Liu seemed uneasy and extremely nervous.
"At that time, he was going to enter the second hall to look for something, but after seeing you, he returned the same way.
"I suspect from this that the real reason that makes him nervous is you!"
"Awesome," said Qiu Yongnian curiously, "why did he die because of?"
"I guess, I must have encountered your conspiracy!" Xu Zun speculated, "Based on Liu Zhubu's route at that time, he either wanted to go to the archives or the warehouse.
"At first, I just thought that you had some written or physical evidence that you had been discovered by Master Liu. It was not until I discovered the iron coffin secret room from my house that I finally guessed the reason."
"Oh?" The fake Qiu Yongnian was shocked, "You had guessed it at that time?"
"Yes," Xu Zun replied, "My home is only separated from the county government. If someone builds a secret room underground in my house and blames me, then the entrance will definitely not be in my house.
"So, I suspect the entrance should be in the county government. Anyway, the county government is full of your people, and doing some evil things is enough to cover up people's eyes.
"And before you frame me, you sealed the entrance in advance, which made me feel like my bedroom was the only entrance and had been maintained for a long time, which made it difficult for me to argue.
"If I guess well," Xu Zun said leisurely, "that entrance should be in the warehouse of the county government, right?
"Because I pushed down the shelves of the archives room before, I didn't find any problems with the archives room.
“And, the archives are full of books, and they are easily discovered when stained with dust.
"But the warehouse is different. The storage is a common tool, and some dust is purely normal.
"So, I guess..." Xu Zun said, "Is this secret passage entrance discovered by Master Liu? So, you are going to kill someone to silence you?
"The disappearance of Liu Zhubu is obviously not good for your plan, so you simply put his body in an iron coffin to confuse our investigation direction.
"This is why, Liu Zhubu did not die of poisoning, but there were signs of poisoning. You want us to think that Liu Zhang is also a member of the Japanese assassin, right?"
Wow...
Xu Zun's incisive reasoning was completed in one go, and it was intoxicating to hear it.
After a few seconds of quietness, the fake Qiu Yongnian nodded and said:
"So amazing, no one can escape your eyes. You... you are really worthy of being Xu Changlin's son!"
"No, not everything can be escaped," Xu Zun said humbly, "I was sure that You Dalang was killed by him before, but I never thought that the murderer would be you!
"Because, when You Dalang was killed, we were discussing the matter between Chunniang and me. You have the most complete absent proof that people cannot be killed by you.
"It was not until later that Wei Zuoyan confessed that I knew the truth," Xu Zun said, "It turns out that there is also a secret passage from the county government to the prison. Before you met me, you had already gone to the prison through the secret passage and killed You Dalang with your own hands!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." The fake Qiu Yongnian nodded frequently, his eyes full of complicated expressions.
"After you ask me, it's time for me to ask you too!" Xu Zun asked, "There are two questions I have never understood. Since you have made such careful preparations, why do you still make two low-level mistakes?
"One is that You Dalang is willing to kill his wife and blame me. It's so unprofessional and full of loopholes.
"The other is, since you have imprisoned Zhen Qiu Yongnian in the secret room of the view of immortality, why are you still allowed him to engrave words on the wall and leave such a fatal message?"
"Hehe...hehe..." Hearing this question, Qiu Yongnian first smiled foolishly, and then answered four words in a daze, "Use-people-not-shu!"
"Is the right person?"
"Oh!" Qiu Yongnian sighed and said sadly, "You Dalang is so scattered in daily life, but he didn't expect that he would neither be good nor useful.
"As for the engravings of that secret room, alas," he looked sad in his eyes, and said four more words first, "I'm afraid he's dead!"
"I'm afraid he will die?"
"Yes," said Qiu Yongnian to admit, "Qiu Yongnian is weak, and engraving is his only motivation to survive, so we allowed him to engrave it.
"But, engraving is not the key," Qiu Yongnian glanced at the crowd and said helplessly, "The key is that I have sent someone to clean up the engravings and have instructed them to cut off all the engravings and then set fire to the fire... Alas..."
"oh……"
Xu Zun remembered that only a small part of the engravings were cut out in the secret room. It was these people in charge of cleaning who found it troublesome and did not cross them all out.
"I really couldn't imagine it," Xu Zun said sadly, "The answer to the question that I can't figure out is so simple.
"The questions you can figure out are often not the answers you need.
"The laws of this world are really mysterious!
"Then..." Xu Zun looked at the fake Qiu Yongnian and said, "I have another question. What role did the coroner Wang Shuncai play in the Iron Coffin Case?"
"Oh?" Qiu Yongnian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking about him?"
"We asked these people all the time, but they didn't know that Wang Shuncai was yours, too." Xu Zun replied.
"Then why are you so sure?"
"Not only certain," Xu Zun said, "I'm also sure he is a person whose level is no lower than you, or even higher than you!"
"Ah!?" The fake Qiu Yongnian was shocked, "How do you...you know?"
"Because he has been in Xinye County for longer than all of you," Xu Zun analyzed, "after the first iron coffin case, he has arrived in Xinye County, which is obviously your vanguard.
"After You Dalang was killed, he disappeared mysteriously again and avoided all the limelight. Isn't he a high-level figure?"
"Okay, awesome, awesome!" The fake Qiu Yongnian nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I have one last question. After you answer, I will tell you..."
