Chapter 6 Murderer

next morning

Everyone gathered in the lobby, which had been cleared away last night. The door was closed, and the government officials surrounded the inn.

On both sides of the Yamen Branch in the inn, Shen Luo takes the main seat, while Xi Shengdong and Xie Yunsheng occupy the two sides.

On the left and right sides of the hall sat the dean and vice-dean of Jinghe Academy. When they heard that Zhou Yu was trapped, they went to Xi Shengdong to take Zhou Yu back, fearing that the reputation of the academy would be affected by this incident.

Xi Shengdong said that he could not make the decision, so he left the two of them behind and said that he could take them away after the case was over. The two had no choice but to stay.

Shen Luo wanted to bring Jin Ruixuan out to be interrogated together, but Xie Yunsheng dissuaded him. He felt that Jin Ruixuan's life in the Jin family was not easy. If he were to directly participate in the investigation, he would be exposed as the person who corresponded with Miss Gu's family. In the future, his The road will be more difficult.

He had never been involved in this case in his previous life, and Shen Luo did not make the truth public for the sake of the academy's reputation. He only publicized it to the outside world, saying that the case had been solved.

Later, Jin Ruixuan broke with the Jin family for some unknown reason and passed the Jinshi examination. Unfortunately, he fell seriously ill and died on the day of the examination.

In order for Jin Ruixuan to have a future, Xie Yunsheng ordered his men to knock him out and left him a letter and sent someone to send him back to the Jin family.

The Gu family couple looked at Shen Luo and were very angry: "Everyone in the world says that Mr. Shen is a god in solving cases and has great martial arts skills. Why can't he avenge my daughter's justice?"

"It's unprecedented for a woman to be an official. I thought you had some abilities, but I didn't expect that you are also someone who is just trying to gain fame! You can't even find a murderer."

Shen Luo was a third-rank official, but they lost their only daughter, and their hearts were full of resentment. They didn't care about their status, and they just wanted to vent their anger and unwillingness.

"Master Shen, your delay in solving the case will make us doubt whether you are a person who is not worthy of your name." Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter's body and cried so hard that she almost fainted.

Shen Luo glanced at the two of them indifferently, with a calm face: "I said yesterday that I would give you an answer, why should Mrs. Gu be anxious?"

"This officer has repeatedly inspected the scene. Although the crime scene of this case is different from the previous cases, the murder method is exactly the same."

After saying that, Shen Luo lifted up the white gauze on her left hand side. On it were placed a piece of incense with some traces of burning and a piece of broken cloth.

Shen Luo pushed the two pieces of evidence forward so that everyone could see them more clearly.

Shen Luo looked at Mrs. Gu who collapsed and said softly: "This piece of cloth is the evidence I found behind the door when I re-examined the crime scene last night."

"The reason why you didn't see the murderer flee is because the murderer is someone you know well. He stayed at the scene of the crime. When you opened the door, he slowly walked out from behind the door, so he was ignored by you."

After saying that, she picked up the torn cloth on the disk and looked at the servants of the Gu family: "Take this mess of cloth and look for it yourself. If anyone's clothes are damaged and match this piece of cloth, he is the murderer. .”

They looked at each other's clothes of the servants beside them, and then quickly dispersed: "It's him, the murderer is him, it's Lu Wenzhao."

Lu Wenzhao stood there, looking at Shen Luo with burning eyes, and said: "Only a piece of rag, how can you claim that I am the murderer?"

"I was framed." Lu Wenzhao looked calmly, without fear, and refused to admit that he was the murderer.

Seeing Lu Wenzhao being so aggressive, Xie Yunsheng turned to look at Shen Luo and asked, "Sir, you must be a little tired after running around for several days. Can you leave this case to me?"

His voice is very soft, like a symphony of rings, crisp and sweet, like the sound of a clear spring, immersing the heart and soul.

"Okay." Shen Luo nodded lightly.

There is still a big drama next, so I might as well leave this case to Xie Yunsheng!

Xie Yunsheng received the approval, turned to look at Lu Wenzhao, and asked: "A man dares to do something brave, do you think the things you did can escape Master Shen's eyes?"

"Mr. Shen and I have already asked the rest of the people this morning. When Mr. Fu Yin and Mr. and Mrs. Gu had dinner, you were present at first, but then you disappeared."

"When Mrs. Gu screamed, everyone rushed over. The last person to enter was Liu Hua beside Mrs. Gu. You suddenly appeared behind her and shouted "Miss."

"My lord and I have asked Xiaolian that you often hang around Miss Gu's yard. You are also the only person besides her who knows about Miss Gu's correspondence with others."

"We have found out who the person who corresponded with Miss Gu was. We learned that before the incident, he left a letter to Miss Gu. You have admired Miss Gu for many years but have not received a response. After getting the letter, you replaced that person. Identity, killed Miss Gu."

"Who is the person communicating with her?" When Lu Wenzhao heard that the person communicating with her was at the inn, he went crazy and roared hysterically: "Why, my knowledge is not any worse than him, why can't she see me?"

"She forced me to kill her. She forced me to kill her."

After he finished speaking, he stood there in a daze, and then asked angrily like he was crazy: "Why? I'm just down and out, and she can't see me, but I'm obsessed with poems written on fine silk."

He suddenly looked back and looked at Zhou Yu with a sinister look: "Is it you? Is it you?"

Jin Ruixuan was a dandy, and the young lady looked down on him. It was this academy master who must have seduced the young lady.

As he said that, he rushed forward and pinched Zhou Yu's neck: "Women hate poverty and love wealth. You scholars are claiming to be romantic and flirting with each other. You don't give me a way to survive and trample on my feelings."

"As a teacher, you dare to seduce a young girl and secretly send her poems. You deserve death."

Zhou Yu slapped Lu Wenzhao's hand desperately: "Let me go."

Lu Wenzhao stared at Zhou Yu as if fascinated, and threatened in a hoarse voice: "I have killed so many people, and I don't care about killing one more!"

"Do you know why I killed her? Because she deserved to die. She didn't want to marry that mediocre person like Xike. She wanted to elope with you. She wanted you to be among the top three and become the first lady."

The dean of Jinghe Academy stood up and said furiously: "That's nonsense."

Shen Luo and Xie Yunsheng took everything in front of them and paid no attention to it.

"Go and stop him." Xi Shengdong immediately ordered.

How could Lu Wenzhao be willing to let go: "Did you know? She is even willing to commit herself to you in order to be the wife of the number one scholar."

Three government officials drew their swords. Two government officials grabbed Lu Wenzhao's hands, one on the left and the other on the right, trying to pull him away. Zhou Yu felt his neck was slightly loose and pushed his hands away with all his strength.

"Pfft." Zhou Yu tried his best to break free but fell to the ground. Lu Wenzhao was pushed away hard and hit the long knife drawn by the officer behind him, killing him on the spot.

The dean and vice-dean of Jinghe Academy immediately stepped forward to help Zhou Yu up: "Master Shen, since the case has been solved, please allow me to take Master Zhou to heal his injuries."

After saying that, the dean helped Zhou Yu up and walked out.

Zhang Liao hurried to Xie Yunsheng and handed the case file to Xie Yunsheng: "Young Master."

Xie Yunsheng pushed the case file in front of Shen Luo: "Master Shen, what you asked for has arrived."

Shen Luo did not look at the case file, but looked at the three people who were leaving, and said coldly: "Stop."

"Who gave you permission to leave?"

With a cold shout, the three of them took a breath and stopped.

The dean of Jinghe Academy turned around and said aggressively: "Shen Luo, I have been teaching and educating people for thirty-five years. There are many disciples under my disciples who are in high positions. You are only a third-rank official, how dare you show your authority in front of me?"
