Seeing the fake Qiu Yongnian being beaten almost brutally by the guards, Xu Zun was shocked and thought he was going to cut off his tongue to silence him!
But he soon discovered that the guard did not hesitate to put his hand into Qiu Yongnian's mouth, as if he was searching carefully for something.
At the same time, another person searched Qiu Yongnian carefully, even leaving behind his ears and hair.
After fiddling with it for a long time, the two guards released their hands and took back the plier-like object.
Looking at the fake Qiu Yongnian, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, his hair was disheveled, and he was extremely embarrassed.
But despite this, the two guards behind him still held the chains tightly, not daring to relax at all.
"I'm sorry," Cai Kun said, "This is the process of the Imperial Guard. These days, poison is too cheap."
oh……
Only then did Xu Zun realize that they had been making trouble for a long time because they were afraid that the fake Qiu Yongnian would commit suicide by taking poison.
Professional enough!
Xu Zun admired in his heart that the internal guards pounced on him at just the right time. Even if the fake Qiu Yongnian had poison in his mouth, it would be too late to take it!
"Okay," Cai Kun waved his hand and asked the fake Qiu Yongnian, "Now can you tell me who you are? Why do you want to frame Mr. Shen? And where did that jade pendant come from?
Coming?"
"Haha...hahahaha..." Fake Qiu Yongnian suddenly laughed, "As I said just now, I still have a few questions that I haven't figured out yet. When I clarify them, I will tell you the truth!"
"Problem?" Li Yan glared, "You actually still have questions?"
"Xu Zun," the fake Qiu Yongnian glared at Xu Zun, "I ask you, about You Dalang, how did you judge that he committed suicide? Is it because you found that his arm was broken?"
"Wrong," Xu Zun replied readily, "the answer is - lock!"
"Lock?" Qiu Yongnian was puzzled.
"When it was found that You Dalang died after hitting the wall in the cell, Zhao Yu broke the lock of the cell because he did not have the key," Xu Zun said, "You didn't notice, I took it away quietly.
That lock.
"Later, on the day I went crazy, I deliberately went to the prison to lose my temper, just to ask for the key to the cell leader.
“As a result, when I compared the lock with the key in the cell, I couldn’t open it at all!
"From this, I made two judgments: First, someone secretly changed the lock, not the key, so You Dalang committed suicide!
"Second, the suspicion of the cell leader can be eliminated."
"You..." Fake Qiu Yongnian took a breath and asked with great confusion, "When did you become so smart?"
"Hahahaha," Xu Zun borrowed an ancient poem to show off, "Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can't see through it!"
"You...are you pretending to be confused?"
"Wrong, it's rare to be confused!"
"This..." Fake Qiu Yongnian frowned and asked, "What about Liu Zhang? Do you know why Liu Zhang's body appeared in the iron coffin?"
"Of course I know," Xu Zun said, "Do you still remember the day before the iron coffin case happened, when I, Master Liu and you met by chance in the second hall?
"At that time, you said that Chief Liu was a little absent-minded.
"Later I recalled the details of that time and found that Mr. Liu was not absent-minded.
“When he saw me, although he was a little panicked, he responded calmly and there was nothing wrong with me.
"But after meeting you again, Master Liu seemed to be 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.
"This makes me suspect that the real reason that makes him nervous is you!"
"Awesome," the fake Qiu Yongnian asked curiously, "Then why did he die?"
"I guess I must have stumbled upon your conspiracy!" Xu Zun speculated, "Based on Master Liu's route at that time, I judged that he either wanted to go to the archives or to the warehouse.
"At first, I just thought that Mr. Liu had discovered some written or physical evidence of yours. It wasn't until I discovered the iron coffin secret room in my home that I finally guessed the reason."
"Oh?" Fake Qiu Yongnian was shocked, "At that time, you had already guessed it?"
"Yes," Xu Zun replied, "there is only a wall between my home and the county government. If someone builds a secret room under my home to blame me, then the entrance must not be in my home.
"So, I suspect that the entrance should be in the county government office. Anyway, the county government office is full of your people, and it is enough to cover up people's eyes by doing some criminal activities.
"And before you framed me, you sealed this entrance in advance, creating the impression that my bedroom is the only entrance and has been maintained for a long time, making it difficult for me to defend myself.
"If my guess is right," Xu Zun said leisurely, "that entrance should be in the county government's warehouse, right?
"Because I have knocked down the bookshelves in the archives before, and I didn't find anything wrong with the archives.
“Moreover, the archives are full of books, and they are easily discovered by people if they are covered in dust.
"But the warehouse is different. The tools stored in it are commonly used, and some dust is completely normal.
"So, I guess..." Xu Zundao said, "Did Chief Liu discover the entrance to the secret passage? That's why you want to kill and silence it?
"The disappearance of Director Liu is obviously detrimental to your plan, so you simply put his body in an iron coffin to confuse the direction of our investigation.
"This is why Mr. Liu did not die of poisoning, but there were signs of poisoning. You want us to think that Liu Zhang is also an accomplice of the Japanese assassin, right?"
Oops...
Xu Zun's incisive reasoning is completed in one breath, which is intoxicating to listen to.
After a few seconds of silence, the fake Qiu Yongnian nodded and said:
"It's amazing. Nothing can escape your eyes. You...you are truly worthy of being Xu Changlin's son!"
"No, not everything can be escaped," Xu Zun said modestly, "I was sure that You Dalang was a homicide before, but I never imagined that the murderer would be you!
"Because, when You Dalang was killed, the two of us were discussing the matter between Chun Niang and me. You have the most complete alibi, and it is impossible for you to kill the person.
"It wasn't until later that Wei Zuoyan confessed that I learned the truth," Xu Zun said. "It turns out that there is 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 him with your own hands.
Got You Dalang!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Fake Qiu Yongnian nodded frequently, with complex expressions in his eyes.
"After you have asked me, it's my turn to ask you too!" Xu Zun asked, "There are two questions that I have never been able to figure out. Since you have made such careful preparations, why did you still commit these two questions?
What about low-level mistakes?
"One is that You Dalang didn't hesitate to kill his wife and put the blame on me. It was really unprofessional and full of loopholes.
"The other thing is, since you imprisoned the real Qiu Yongnian in the secret room of the Immortality Temple, why did you allow him to carve words on the wall and leave such a fatal message?"
"Haha...haha..." Upon hearing this question, the fake Qiu Yongnian first giggled, and then replied blankly with four words, "Ur-ren-not-shu!"
"Is your employment unkind?"
"Alas!" Fake Qiu Yongnian sighed and said sadly, "You Dalang is usually very talkative, but he didn't expect that he was neither attractive nor useful.
"As for the inscription on the secret room, alas," he said with sadness in his eyes, he said four more words first, "I'm afraid he will die!"
"Afraid he's dead?"
"Yes," the fake Qiu Yongnian admitted, "Qiu Yongnian's body was weak, and carving was his only motivation to survive, so we allowed him to carve.
"But the engravings are not the key," the fake Qiu Yongnian glanced at the crowd and said helplessly, "the key is that I have sent people to clean up the engravings, and I have told them to delete all the engravings, and then
Set fire to the temple again...sigh..."
"oh……"
Xu Zun remembered that only a very small part of the inscriptions in the secret room had been crossed out. It seemed that the people responsible for cleaning up did not cross out all the words because they thought it was troublesome.
"I can't believe," Xu Zun said sadly, "that the answer to a completely incomprehensible question can be so simple.
“But 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 fake Wang Shuncai play in the iron coffin case?"
"Oh?" Fake Qiu Yongnian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking about him?"
"We asked these people, but none of them knew that Wang Shuncai was one of yours," Xu Zun replied.
"Then why are you so sure?"
"Not only am I sure," Xu Zun said, "I am also sure that he is a person who is not lower than you, or even higher than you!"
"Ah!?" Fake Qiu Yongnian was shocked, "You...how did you know?"
"Because he has been in Xinye County longer than all of you," Xu Zun analyzed. "After the first iron coffin case, he had already come to Xinye County, and he was obviously your vanguard.
"After You Dalang was killed, he disappeared mysteriously and avoided all the limelight. Isn't he still a high-ranking figure?"
"Okay, awesome, awesome!" Fake Qiu Yongnian nodded and said, "In this case, I have one last question. After you answer it, I will tell you..."
