Chapter 3 Exploring the case together

Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng and said, "Tell me, what did you find?"

Xie Yunsheng knew that Shen Luo acted decisively and resolutely, and would never waste his time for others, so he replied: "The Gu family and Mr. Xi did not tell the truth just now."

"Miss Gu's family left the meeting halfway because she didn't agree with this marriage."

"A woman who doesn't agree to the marriage is just because she has a sweetheart."

As he said that, Xie Yunsheng looked at Xi Ke: "Master Xi's body smells of alcohol and his face is solemn. It's probably because he was rejected by Miss Gu and left the table angrily."

After finishing speaking, Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo and smiled slightly: "Master Shen should have concealed the cause of Miss Gu's death."

"That's right." Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng, a fleeting look of surprise and appreciation flashed between his brows.

Shen Luo looked at the confused and anxious eyes of the Gu family couple and Xi Shengdong, and said softly: "This case is complicated."

"To avoid collusion, I will question you all individually." Shen Luo stood up and looked at Xie Yunsheng, who was as bright as the moon: "Together."

"Okay." Xie Yunsheng immediately stood up and followed.

The first person Shen Luo asked was the Gu family couple and the Gu family slaves. They learned that Gu Qingyan would rather die than agree to the marriage because she had someone she liked, but they didn't know who that person was.

They only knew that the two had been exchanging letters but had never met. Gu Qingyan admired the man's literary talents and had been fascinated by him for a long time. In the last letter, the man promised to be named on the gold medal list and marry her.

However, the scientific examination will not be held until next spring. Now her parents suddenly mentioned the marriage proposal. She refused in every possible way, inadvertently revealing that someone had been communicating with her. Mr. Gu was furious and beat Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan ran back to the house crying and was killed.

The second interrogator was the Xi family father and son. They didn't know that Miss Gu family had someone they liked. Seeing that Miss Gu family refused to marry, they felt that they had lost face. The Gu family wanted to join the Xi family and beat Gu Qingyan. They tried every means to dissuade Xi Shengdong. Resentment. The young master of the Xi family was very angry when he was rejected from marriage and ran to his wife Zhou Yu's room to drink.

The third interrogator was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took the initiative and said: "I am the wife of Xi Ke. I am entrusted by the magistrate Xi to come here to protect the matchmaker. At that time, Xi Ke came to my room to drink. I couldn't persuade him, and I was too drunk, so I stayed aside. I kept him company by copying scriptures, but I have never seen Miss Gu."

"Although Xike has an impulsive personality, he respects teachers and is kind to others. He has a good family background. I heard that he and Miss Gu are childhood sweethearts. I don't understand why Miss Gu refused this marriage?" Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of confusion.

"You were a successful candidate four years ago. Why didn't you take part in the scientific examination and gain fame instead of becoming an unknown teacher in the academy?" Xie Yunsheng looked at Zhou Yu, who was wearing civilian clothes, and asked.

Zhou Yu gently shook his folding fan, sighed, and then replied: "I am a bit more straight-tempered. I don't know the way of officialdom and have no one to help me. I know that I am not suitable to be an official, so I turned to teaching."

"The mountains are beautiful, the books are loud, and the people are carefree." As he spoke, Zhou Yu sighed, his eyes full of sorrow: "It's a pity that this young lady from the Gu family lost her life in her prime years."

"In this case, you can go back first without delaying Mr. Zhou's rest!" Shen Luo ordered: "By the way, I want to send a message to Jin Ruixuan to come in."

"Yes." Zhou Yu stood up and saluted, then turned around and stepped back. He behaved politely, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, quite like a scholar.

Seeing Zhou Yu step out of the room, Xie Yunsheng said: "Master Situ, can you truthfully tell me the cause of Miss Gu's death? Is it related to the previous case?"

"The inn is not big, and my two guards are good at martial arts, but they didn't hear any movement when the crime happened. This murderer must be a master."

Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo, with a hint of worry in his eyebrows. He raised his hand to pour a cup of tea and gently placed it in front of Shen Luo: "I also ask Mr. Shen to tell all the cases so that the case can be solved as soon as possible."

Shen Luo took out the case file and Gu Qingyan's autopsy report from his waist and handed them to Xie Yunsheng. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "See for yourself."

Xie Yunsheng took the case file and looked through it carefully. Jin Ruixuan stepped into the room and asked coldly: "Shen Luo, can you really investigate this case clearly?"

"Others don't know, but I know that in these years you have only been responsible for chasing the murderer and rarely participated in the investigation of the case." As he said, he glanced at Xie Yunsheng: "And you, how did you get injured? Why can you Participate in the investigation?”

"To save a very important person." Xie Yunsheng replied lightly and continued to look through the case files in his hands.

Talking too much will make many mistakes. In front of Luo'er, keeping silent is the right way.

Faced with Jin Ruixuan's doubts, Shen Luo said, "You are the one who has been corresponding with Miss Gu all this time, right?"

After a while, she expressed her guess: "I think Miss Gu doesn't know that the person she is communicating with is you, and she even dislikes you because of your dandy name and dazzling dress, right?"

Jin Ruixuan suddenly stood up and looked at Shen Luo in shock.

Shen Luo ignored Jin Rui

"Mrs. Kim is fierce and jealous, and you have been smart since you were a child. You know very well that with such a eldest lady, you can only grow up safely in the family by hiding your clumsiness. After all, no one will be wary of plotting against someone who is not liked by the family. Rich playboy."

"How do you know?" Jin Ruixuan changed his usual playfulness and his eyes became serious.

"I am the Situ of the Beizhen Prefecture, and the case file resources of the Ministry of Household and Criminal Affairs are shared with each other. The Jin family is a famous family, how could I not know these things!"

After saying that, Shen Luo looked at Jin Ruixuan and asked, "Do you want to know how Miss Gu died?"

Jin Ruixuan looked at Shen Luo with burning eyes. He was no longer arrogant and asked anxiously: "How did Qing Yan die?"

Shen Luo looked at Jin Ruixuan and said in a deep voice: "She was strangled to death with hands, and there were not many traces left at the crime scene. The perpetrator was ruthless and clean, so he must be a martial arts practitioner."

"As far as I know, you can also do martial arts." Shen Luo stood up and looked at Jin Ruixuan, waiting for his answer.

"How did you know I knew martial arts? Why did you doubt me? I love her so much, how could I kill her?" Jin Ruixuan became extremely manic when his love was doubted.

Shen Luo raised her eyes and said without anger: "Miss Gu's personal maid told me that those letters appeared quietly in Miss Gu's boudoir. How could you do it if you didn't have the skills? You were communicating with her. Of course, you are the most suspect."

After saying that, Shen Luo raised his hand and tapped the table, threatening: "You'd better tell me everything, otherwise it will be difficult to prove your innocence!?"

Xie Yunsheng put down the case file in his hand, raised his hand to empty the teacup for Shen Luo and poured another cup of tea, and said softly: "Don't tease him, you know he is not the murderer!"

She was always so busy that she couldn't care about anything, her lips were dry and she couldn't even think of taking a sip of tea.

Sometimes, intimidating a suspect will make the suspect fearful and tell him everything he knows. But the man in front of him wants to find out the truth more than anyone else, so there is no need to intimidate.
