Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 160 The talent is online, and the detective returns!
"Take Li Shou and his family to the inner prison and lock them in an ordinary cell first, then notify the Ministry of Punishment and let the coordinator who performed Zhang Shizi's autopsy come to see me."

Li Yan waved his hand, and Li Shouyi was dragged down like a dead dog.

Guo Yuanzhen came to the side and said in a low voice: "Liu Lang, you said that this is such a coincidence, could it be that Zhang Shizi is..."

Li Yandao: "Do you think he is the murderer of the poisoning case, using his death to uncover the old murder case in Jiangnan?"

Guo Yuanzhen said: "Zhang Shizi is from Runzhou, and he was able to get Yundan. It is very possible that he has something to do with Qingyang Village. Only by poisoning the Xinke scholars collectively can such a major event make the case of the past reappear in the world. In front of him, especially by the saints."

He asked Dr. Kong, who was walking over, "Doctor Kong, isn't the poison these scholars have suffered that serious?"

Dr. Kong replied: "Yes, the poison was violent in the initial stage, but the recovery speed was very fast. The initial judgment was too heavy."

Guo Yuanzhen said again: "Liulang, the murderer brutally silenced Zhang Shizi, how could he show mercy?"

Li Yan nodded encouragingly: "Your analysis is not unreasonable."

When he saw Li Shouyi and others playing chess, he actually thought of this.

Compared with the heavy casualties in Qingyang Village, and the fact that the villagers who survived were disabled, it was more likely that these scholars had experienced food poisoning.

At that time, it looked like a mess, but the speed of recovery after the incident was faster than Doctor Chen expected.

And since the murderer was able to kill Zhang Yang and kill Zhang Yang, why didn't he use a more ruthless poison to create a more shocking effect?
unless……

In the case of the scholar, the murderer was the victim, and Zhang Yang died for justice.

However, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't figure it out: "I just asked them, and it seems that Zhang Shizi is really unwilling to sell the pill to Li Shouyi, which is strange."

"Li Shouyi's elder brother, Li Sichong, is the absolute murderer of the Jiangnan case, and his father is also a cover-up. With such a deep hatred, it would be nice not to directly poison Li Shouyi to death. Involving them is not just conducive to the investigation of the case. Why should we refuse? Selling medicine?"

"This seems to show that Zhang Shizi is not an insider..."

Li Yan never made any judgments: "We still know too little about Zhang Shizi. Go to the headquarters of the Xiao and Xie Chambers of Commerce in Dongshi and see if there are any managers from Runzhou in these two Jiangnan chambers of commerce. Then ask carefully about Zhang Shizi's situation."

Of the four major chambers of commerce in Chang'an, Dou's has become yesterday, and Li's was affected by Li Jingxuan, and it can't be overpowering.

The remaining two Xiao and Xie families are based on Jiangnan, so Li Yan thought of them.

"understand!"

Guo Yuanzhen took the order and went.

Li Yan thanked Doctor Kong and went to Di Renjie by himself.

Compared with the more than ten Chang'an scholars gathered in one room here, the scholars from other states were scattered.

When Li Yan got there, Di Renjie just finished asking the second person.

This is a real heart-to-heart chat.

Li Yan didn't bother, and walked to An Zhongjing's house.

"L!"

When Li Yan walked in, An Zhongjing was reading a book, and when he saw him, he immediately showed joy.

Li Yan asked concerned: "How do you feel?"

An Zhongjing stood up and put on a stick dancing posture: "The recovery is faster than expected, and there is no serious problem. I will practice Bodhidharma diligently next time! Fortunately, I have martial arts this time, otherwise I will be even more embarrassed!"

Li Yan said: "Are you going to join the army?"

An Zhongjing shook his head: "No, I will take the exam again next year."

Li Yandao: "That's fine, that way you won't have any regrets."

An Zhongjing was not happy: "Hearing your tone, it seems that I can't pass the exam. Believe it or not, I studied hard for a year and was admitted to the Jinshi Department?"

Li Yan said solemnly: "Of course I believe it, calm down, take the test hard, you can do it!"

An Zhongjing nodded: "Good!"

He knelt down again, and said, "The Jiangnan case is over, do you still want to investigate the Shizi case? I heard a piece of news, I don't know if it will help you. Zhang Shizi was bullied..."

Li Yan listened, what An Zhongjing said was exactly what he just said.

There was no difference in the process, except that compared to Li Shouyi's "playing around", the scholar from other states saw Zhang Yang being beaten badly by those people and even vomited blood.

Finally An Zhongjing said angrily, "Li Shouyi and his father and brother are really a nest of snakes and rats!"

This is quite serious, Li Yan agrees in his heart, but he is puzzled.

He asked, "Don't you hate Zhang Shizi?"

An Zhongjing was stunned.

Li Yan looked calmly: "Although Zhang Shizi was killed, if he hadn't sold Yundan to you, you wouldn't have been poisoned and missed the imperial examination. This matter is ultimately his fault."

"But Dr. Kong didn't seem to blame Zhang Shizi, whether it was Dr. Kong who heard the comments of the scholars from other states, or you just resented the insult of Li Shouyi and others."

"Can you tell me why?"

An Zhongjing's complexion changed several times: "As expected of you, Yuan Fang..."

After a wry smile, he said firmly, "Sorry, I can't say anything about this!"

Li Yan frowned: "Zhongjing, there is no need to talk about your relationship with me. I believed you in Liangzhou, but now you don't believe me?"

An Zhongjing hurriedly said: "Of course I believe you. Brother Wu has already told me about the Jiangnan case. Only after you have tried this case can the truth be revealed and the sons of the prime minister be brought to justice! How can you do something like you for the people who died in vain?" How many people are there in the world who seek justice? Even if there is no incident in Liangzhou, I will absolutely trust you!"

Li Yan was puzzled: "Then you..."

"Oops, I don't know how to explain that!"

An Zhongjing scratched his head, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Can you stop investigating this case and accept a superficial truth that everyone is happy with?"

The most hated Riddler is online.

Li Yan didn't have many doubts at first, anyway, the murderer in this case must be related to the Jiangnan case, and the murderer can always be found by following the clues.

The unsolved case from six years ago has been solved, why are you still afraid of the case from eight days ago?
As a result, An Zhongjing's words confused him: "Can you explain it more clearly?"

An Zhongjing also had a headache from thinking about it: "I can't break my promise to others, I really don't know how to explain it! And you have a responsibility, let me tell you, the responsibility becomes yours!"

Li Yan's eyes finally focused.

What An Zhongjing meant was that he thought that after he knew the truth, he would choose to hide it?

Just at this time, the inspectors outside came to report: "Li Jiyi, the clerk from the Ministry of Punishment is here."

Li Yan stood up and patted An Zhongjing on the shoulder: "Take a good rest, don't be burdened, don't worry, everything is by me!"

Walking out of the house, I saw a tall and thin figure, avoiding others, standing far away.

Li Yan walked over: "Who are you? Are you the one who inspected the body of the deceased Zhang Yang?"

He Wuzuo nodded quickly: "Returning to Li Jiyi, Zhang Shizi's body was examined by three witnesses, and I was one of them. There are also two other witnesses from Wannian County in Chang'an."

Li Yandao: "Is Zhang Shizi injured from the beating?"

He Yuzuo was very sure: "Yes, they are all new injuries. That injury almost killed Zhang Shizi. His body is too weak to withstand such a severe beating."

Li Yan recalled it.

When he saw Zhang Yang, the other party was already a corpse, and the scene was full of filth and stench.

But it can also be seen that this person is an extremely thin man.

The reason was found out later. They had taken too much opium, and they all looked skinny.

Li Yan asked again: "Based on your experience, how long can Zhang Shizi live under normal circumstances?"

In this era, in some respects, the doctors are really no worse than doctors, especially when it comes to judging life and death.

Without much hesitation, He Wuzuo made a judgment: "It's just this year or two."

"Zhang Yang is still very young, and his body has already reached such a state. He knows that his death is approaching, so it is entirely possible to use death to avenge his grievances."

"But if that's the case, why did he have to face the beatings of Li Shouyi and others in order not to be robbed of the pill?"

"You don't need to play hard to get to that point. It's normal to be frightened and hand it over. After all, Li Jingxuan was still in full swing at that time."

"He resisted the medicine so stubbornly, isn't he afraid that he will be beaten to death by those six scholars, and the Jiangnan case will never be redressed?"

There were more and more doubts, and Zhang Yang's image became more and more blurred.

After Li Yan asked a few more details, he asked He Yuzuo to leave, stood where he was, and fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly raised his head, and saw Di Renjie coming out of the house not far away.

The two looked at each other.

Di Renjie's eyes moved away for an instant, and then quickly met again the next moment.

Ordinary people can't grasp these fleeting details, but Li Yan's martial arts is so strong that he can see them clearly.

Seeing that Di Renjie wanted to come over, Li Yan waved his hand and asked him to continue to ask questions.

Di Renjie's fat body stopped, hesitating for a while, and entered the next room.

Li Yan frowned: "Huaiying also knows the truth? Then he made the same choice as Zhongjing?"

An Zhongjing and Di Renjie didn't mean to harm him, he knew it very well.

But what kind of truth is it that made the two of them choose to conceal it?
The Jiangnan case came to light, and Li Jingxuan lost power. Under such a situation, it really doesn't make sense...

At this moment, Guo Yuanzhen also came back.

This young man seemed to rush back in one breath, his chest heaving and emotional: "Liu Lang, I went to two chambers of commerce, found the manager from Runzhou, and asked about the important motive!"

Li Yan said: "Take a breath, let's talk."

Guo Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Runzhou has two civil examinations every year, but the scholars only compete for one, and the other must be taken by Zhang Shizi, but this person is not very gregarious and rarely participates in the prefecture. Wenhui, on the contrary, often travels abroad, and I heard that scholars in the state hate and fear him..."

Li Yan nodded slightly.

The top scorer in the city's first-level college entrance examination for many years in a row, this is undoubtedly a man of heaven's favor, and even a businessman is deeply impressed by him.

Guo Yuanzhen continued: "Does Liulang still remember the magistrate Qi of Dantu County who was imprisoned for being implicated in the Jiangnan case? His daughter has a marriage contract with Zhang Shizi!"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "The county magistrate of Qi was imprisoned, and later he was assigned to Leizhou, and his wife and daughter were assigned to Yeting. With Zhang Shizi's family power in the local area, it is not difficult to trace the truth of Qingyang Village. If he is to avenge his fiancée wife ..."

Guo Yuanzhen nodded again and again: "Sure enough, it's much easier to investigate the case if you have a motive. Both the murderer and the victim in this case are Zhang Yang. He used his death to expose the truth of the year. It's just that too many people have been implicated by this action. How innocent is the poisoned scholar?"

After thinking for a while, he sighed again: "However, if only Zhang Yang is poisoned, it really won't attract attention. If there is a grievance, it will be difficult to redress, how desperate!"

Li Yan fell silent.

Guo Yuanzhen thought he was sympathetic to what happened to Zhang Yang, and comforted him: "Liulang, the past bloody case has been revealed to the world, the murderer will be brought to justice, and Zhang Yang will be able to rest in peace. You have done enough."

Li Yan came back to his senses and said: "This case is up to this point. Although there are some regrets, it is considered complete. This is the truth that everyone is happy. But I still have to think about some things here. You can help Huaiying first!"

Guo Yuanzhen was a little puzzled, but he accepted the order: "Yes!"

When he entered the dormitory, he saw Di Renjie chatting with a scholar from other states.

Under the offensive of the benevolent round face, the two quickly became acquainted.

After a quarter of an hour, it seemed like a friend who could talk deeply.

Guo Yuanzhen watched from the side, admiring him very much.

He is also a person who is easy to get acquainted with and make friends with others, but he is often a little more calculating and less friendly than Di Renjie.

After Di Renjie finished chatting, he went out with Guo Yuanzhen: "Yuan Zhen, what did you and Li Jiyi say just now?"

Guo Yuanzhen explained the marriage contract between Zhang Yang and the daughter of the County Magistrate Qi: "The motive is very clear. I thought that Zhang Shizi used his death to unravel the dust-laden grievances, but Liu Lang seems to have doubts, and he still needs to investigate further."

Di Renjie was already mentally prepared: "Then let's investigate further, it's just... some truths are hard to bear!"

He was almost talking to himself in the last half of the sentence, Guo Yuanzhen didn't hear clearly at all, shifted his attention, and said with a smile: "Liu Lang is thinking about the overall situation, and I will be in charge of running errands. Brother Huaiying just asked, and I am studying on the sidelines. Brilliant questioning skills."

Di Renjie shook his head slightly: "There is no great skill, if you want others to open their hearts to you, you just need to keep one thing in mind!"

Guo Yuanzhen's spirit was greatly lifted: "What's the secret?"

Di Renjie stroked his beard and smiled, "If I were you, what would I do? Put yourself in other people's shoes and think about it, and many things will not be difficult to figure out."

Guo Yuanzhen was thoughtful: "If I were you..."

In the next few games, he watched from the sidelines.

Guo Yuanzhen soon discovered that what Di Renjie relied on was not a kind-hearted first impression, but a heart-to-heart, consideration for the other party, and careful notes of many situations, so that he could speak to the other party's heart every time and quickly draw closer to him.

In a daze, what was in front of him was not the little county captain in the past, but Wu Dewei, who had just started in Chang'an, but a capable minister of the ruling party.

Guo Yuanzhen feels that this is not an illusion. Di Renjie, who has accumulated rich experience in the local area, has accumulated a lot of money. With his diligence and wisdom, he will have the opportunity to benefit the people in the future.

Following behind this man, Guo Yuanzhen silently made up his mind: "In the future, I will also be such an official, and I will become a capable minister who governs the world!"

Just as he was determined, Di Renjie in front of him suddenly stopped, almost bumping into him.

"what happened?"

The next moment, he followed Di Renjie's gaze and found that it was Li Yan.

Di Renjie murmured: "Liu Lang seems to have changed a bit..."

But he couldn't tell the specifics. After thinking about it, he still took Guo Yuanzhen to the next place.

at the same time.

Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Gongyuan, but his eyes were not limited to this place.

Countless memory images flowed and began to be stitched together...

Suddenly.

Back to the present again.

Li Yan's eyes were bright, but he sighed.

He thought of the truth.

A bold and shocking truth.

A truth that a good man would go to great lengths to conceal.
