Chapter 86 086. Investigate the real murderer (one more)
Because of the jade pendant engraved with the word "Ning", both Su Liang and Ning Jing thought that Ning Yao was the most suspicious.

But this is just a guess.

Ning Jing has other enemies, and there is one in Pingbei City. Mr. Li, who wanted to take away Zhenger, married his younger sister, Miss Li Si, who is now Mrs. Xiao, who came to Pingbei City.

As for Su Liang's plan to go to Xunyang City to kill Ning Yao first, let's talk about it after Ning Jing has said it.

Whether it was Ning Yao or Mrs. Xiao, the goal was all for tranquility.

But after Su Liang calmed down, he realized that something was wrong, "Ning Yao and Li Si are not good people. With their previous methods, as long as they make a move, they will not leave you alive. In this case, only when someone dies in the academy can you Completely dependent."

Even if it is found out that it was not Ning Jing who did it, but his enemy, he will definitely be caught by the victim, and the world will think that he brought disaster to the academy.

Ning Jing was thoughtful, "You mean, the poison in the well water tonight is not poisonous enough?"

Su Liang nodded, "It's really not enough. If you really plan to poison people to death to harm you, there is a 'better' option, and you won't give me a chance to save people. Even if I'm not here, I believe the doctors in Pingbei City will There is a way to detoxify, but it may lead to the death of some seriously ill people if they are not treated in time."

Because of that jade pendant, Ning Ping has been thinking about himself, and after all he doesn't know medicine and poison.

Hearing Su Liang's words, he also felt that something was wrong.

Su Liang suddenly thought, "Is there anyone from the Xiao family in the academy?"

They all thought that someone had sneaked into the academy to poison, but the poison was not ruthless enough.

In case someone in the academy did it, in order not to be suspected, they were also poisoned. As long as they are young and healthy and eat less dinner, they can guarantee that they will be perfect victims and not be in danger...

Even if Su Liang didn't take action, the least poisoned group, more than a dozen people, would not die even if they didn't specialize in detoxification.

Among them, will there be poisoners?
Ning Jing was about to ask Lin Shuzhi when Lin Xueqing came.

She has been helping to take care of poisoned people, her clothes are dirty, her hair is messed up, and she looks tired.

"Sister Su, Dad asked me to tell you that everything is fine!" Lin Xueqing looked at Su Liang gratefully, her eyes were red, "I was scared to death, what if someone died! Sister Su, you are really amazing!"

Su Liang didn't care about this, and asked Lin Xueqing directly, "Is there a young master from the Xiao family in the academy?"

Lin Xueqing was stunned, "The Xiao family? Is it the Xiao family in Pingbei City that does ceramics business? There is Mr. Xiao, the youngest brother of Patriarch Xiao, named Xiao Shirong. He didn't pass the exam for a scholar. It was forced in. The government exerted pressure several times, and the Xiao family paid for the repair of the road from the academy to the foot of the mountain, and built a new dormitory for the academy. In the end, father could only agree to accept Xiao Shirong. In fact, the academy’s My father can no longer make decisions about many things. The Xiao family even approached my father to propose marriage to me on behalf of Xiao Shirong, but my father refused me without asking. If I asked, I would definitely scold him!"

After Lin Xueqing finished speaking in a fit of anger, she remembered to ask Su Liang, "What's wrong with the Xiao family? Why does Sister Su ask this?"

"Has Xiao Shirong been poisoned?" Su Liang asked again.

Lin Xueqing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I didn't see him tonight. He is not used to living in the dormitory of the academy. The Xiao family originally proposed to build a yard for him to live alone, but my father sternly refused. He probably wanted to I won't be back until tomorrow."

It didn't match what Su Liang guessed, but Su Liang became more suspicious of Xiao's family.

She asked Lin Xueqing to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a "questionnaire", "Give this to Master. The well was poisoned, everyone in the academy today is suspected, including the poisoned person, everyone should investigate .”

Lin Xueqing saw that there were many questions written on it, including the five days of the holiday, where she was every day, what she did, whether anyone could testify, everything from eating and sleeping to details, covering twelve hours without omission.

"Paste it out and let them write it themselves, and hand it in when they're finished." Su Liang said, "The government will investigate such a serious matter later." But the Xiao family obviously managed the government well, so they had to act first. get evidence.

Su Liang felt that if it was the Xiao family's work, it was not a small possibility that Mr. Xiao did it himself and found someone else.

Lin Xueqing was about to leave when Su Liang asked again, "Who does Xiao Shirong have a good relationship with in the academy? He is rich and powerful, so he should have a follower."

"Yes, there are several people behind him every time he appears. But I hate that person very much, and I don't pay attention to who is getting close to him." Lin Xueqing said, "Oh, yes, there is one I know! It is Ma Yaozu who is the top case in your Bei'an County Court Examination with Senior Brother Ning! He is also very annoying. I only noticed him when he spread a lot of bad things about Senior Brother Ning in the academy. The other two talented scholars are a bit at odds."

Because after Lin Xueqing learned that Ning Jing was taking the imperial examination in Bei'an County, she wanted to find someone from there to inquire about Ning Ning, but she didn't say that she knew Ning Ning, she just said that she was curious about what kind of person he was and why he didn't come to Qianshan Academy.

In this way, Lin Xueqing got to know the two scholars who were always together, and also knew Ma Yaozu, who was the leader of the case.

Su Liang was thoughtful, "Ma Yaozu? Is he poisoned?"

Lin Xueqing nodded, "I won, but it's not a big deal. I said I ate lunch in the city. I wasn't hungry at night, so I didn't eat much."

She didn't ask those people one by one how much they ate, but passed by and heard Ma Yaozu talking to others.

"I see. You go to Master first." Su Liang became suspicious of Ma Yaozu, but now he can't jump to conclusions, first investigate everyone, who has questions, and when he gets the questionnaire, maybe the answer will surface.

After a lot of tossing, it was almost dawn.

Ning Ping fetched water, Su Liang simply washed up, then lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Ning Ping went out, looking at the hazy sky at dawn, his face was cold, as cold as a sculpture.

……

When Lin Shuzhi saw the questionnaire that Lin Xueqing had brought, he asked her to find a large piece of paper and copy it out, so that no one would recognize that it was Su Liang and Tranquility's handwriting.

After Lin Xueqing finished copying, Lin Shuzhi had someone paste the paper on the wall, and told everyone to answer the questions on the paper after recovering, and hand in their statements before noon today.

During this period, no one is allowed to enter or leave the academy.

Those doctors who Lin Shuzhi let go but didn't leave were also kept.They approached Lin Shuzhi for a theory, and Lin Shuzhi said that this was to avoid unnecessary panic caused by the spread of the news, so that they could understand and cooperate.

The poisoning turmoil seems to have subsided, but only superficially.

……

Su Liang slept very deeply this time, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.

Officers and soldiers brought porridge and steamed buns from the foot of the mountain and distributed them to the people in the academy.

On the table in Su Liang's room were two bowls of cold porridge and two big steamed buns.It was Lin Xueqing who brought it to her and Ning Jing, but she didn't see Ning Jing, saw Su Liang sleeping, and didn't call her.

Su Liang got off the bed, stretched her arms, took a deep breath, walked over and took a bite of the steamed bun, she was really hungry.

When Su Liang drank a bowl of cold porridge and left after eating half a steamed bun, Lin Xueqing happened to come in.

"Sister Su, are you awake? I'll go and heat up the porridge for you to drink." Lin Xueqing said.

Su Liang shook her head, "I've already drank it, don't need to heat it up."

Lin Xueqing hadn't closed her eyes since last night. After Su Liang asked about the current situation, she asked her to sleep for a while.

"No, I want to stay with dad." Lin Xueqing yawned as she spoke.

Su Liang hugged her into the room, "I'll go."

"Sister Su, you are really kind, you are much more useful than me." Lin Xueqing hugged Su Liang as she spoke, and sighed, "When the matter is cleared up, help me persuade Dad to let him put down the Let’s go to the capital. The academy is no longer the pure school he wanted, and if this continues, I really don’t know what will happen next time.”

Su Liang nodded, "I also have that intention."

"That's great. Dad will definitely listen to what you say." Lin Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief before going to bed with peace of mind.

Su Liang didn't know where Ning Jing was. When he found Lin Shuzhi, he was carefully reading through the questionnaires he handed in.

Seeing Su Liang, Lin Shuzhi asked her if she was hungry.

Su Liang said that he had eaten, and sat down to watch it with Lin Shuzhi.

"Someone from the government came to ask me just now. They mentioned that Xunyang Ning's family came to the academy to make trouble a few days ago, saying that it might be Ning Yao's actions to murder Ning Jing, and other innocent people were implicated." Lin Shuzhi's face was serious, "There is no evidence There is no evidence, it is basically pouring dirty water on Ping Ping!"

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Master, what if Ning Yao really did it?"

Lin Shuzhi frowned, "There is a grievance and a debtor. Even if Ning Yao did it, Ning Jing is still a victim, not a culprit."

"That's the truth, but if someone is killed, it's not something that can be uncovered with a word of peace." Su Liang shook his head, "Master protects the weak, and outsiders don't care so much."

Lin Shuzhi's face darkened, "Do you really think Ning Yao did it?"

Su Liang shook her head, "I thought so at first. But now I feel that someone else did it, and wanted to plant it on Ning Yao's head."

Even Ning Jing and Su Liang subconsciously doubted Ning Yao, let alone others?
And after the turmoil of the Ning family a few days ago, the fact that Ning Yao and Ning Jing are in a relationship is well known in Pingbei City, especially in Qianshan Academy.

It may not be that someone deliberately took advantage of this and played a very clever trick.

After all, Su Liang felt that if Ning Yao made a move, he would rather poison Ning Jing to death directly, rather than take so much trouble and implicate himself in a big case.

"Who would do such a sinister thing?" Lin Shuzhi was puzzled.

Su Liang told the truth that Ning Jing found a jade pendant engraved with the word "Ning" by the well last night.

Lin Shuzhi's expression changed drastically, "Tell him not to show it, otherwise many people will believe that he did it, and they won't care what the truth is."

Lin Shuzhi is not trying to hide the truth.He knew that Tranquility did not do it. He did this to protect Tranquility, and also to better find out the truth and prevent the real mastermind behind the scenes from succeeding.

Su Liang nodded, "Master, don't worry, he knows." Then he mentioned the child named Zheng'er that Lin Shuzhi knew a long time ago.

After Lin Shuzhi listened, he learned about the child's origin and what happened, and finally realized that what Su Liang really suspected was the Li and Xiao families who had a grudge against them because of Zheng'er.

The Xiao family is actually a subsidiary of the Li family, and the fourth lady married to the Li family is the master.

But Mr. Xiao was not in the academy yesterday.

Su Liang turned to Ma Yaozu's questionnaire and took it out to read alone.

There was no big problem in the first few days, he mostly stayed in the academy and didn't go out.

Yesterday was the day when the results were released, and Ma Yaozu wrote that after learning that he had failed the results, he was depressed, went to drink, and stayed at the largest Huixiang Restaurant in Pingbei City for two hours before returning to the academy.

But as far as Su Liang knew, Ma Yaozu's family was poor.It doesn't cost money to study at Qianshan Academy, but you have to spend money to eat out by yourself.

Two hours in a restaurant is too long. If you don't spend enough money, even the restaurant will drive people away.

Su Liang and Lin Shuzhi read through everyone's questionnaires and picked out a few suspicious ones.Except that Ma Yaozu was Su Liang's first suspicion, there are a few others who wrote a little vaguely.

Lin Shuzhi called people over and asked them one by one. Ma Yaozu was in the middle.

Among them, a student was asked to go to the brothel the day before yesterday, and he dared not let others know.

The other two went to the casino together.

When he arrived at Ma Yaozu, he was very calm.

"You have been in the restaurant for two hours, why do you say that there is no witness?" Lin Shuzhi looked serious.

Ma Yaozu replied, "The student is thinking that there are so many people coming and going in the restaurant every day, Xiaoer must not remember when he received any guests, so he wrote the certificate of no one."

"Most people don't stay in the restaurant for so long, it just happened yesterday, Xiao Er will definitely remember you." Lin Shuzhi said, "I'll ask the officers and soldiers to bring someone to the restaurant."

Ma Yaozu's eyes were obviously flustered, "Principal, are there any witnesses for everything the students and the others do?"

Lin Shuzhi said in a cold voice, "Not all of them are there, but if there are none, we have to check them out one by one. Murdering nearly a hundred famous people is such a serious crime, we must not let any clue go."

"Why does the dean think that someone in the academy did it? Maybe someone sneaked in and poisoned it." Ma Yaozu said.

"It's all possible. But first we need to find out the people in the academy, what do you think?" Lin Shuzhi asked back.

"Yes." Ma Yaozu narrowed his eyes, "Actually, the student has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Tell me." Lin Shuzhi nodded.

"The student is from Bei'an County. Someone from Ning's family in Xunyang framed Ning Jing in the college examination. Before this time, people from Ning's family came to force him to give up the imperial examination and go home, but to no avail. The results were released yesterday, and I learned that Ning Jing knew that Yuan, I think those who want to harm him in Xunyang Ning's family will be unable to hold back their actions. If they think that Ning Ning lives in the academy and then poisons him, it is very possible." Ma Yaozu said righteously, "Last night Ning Jing went to check the well, if he finds any evidence, in order to clear himself, he may not deliberately conceal it. He is the person who should investigate the most!"

Lin Shuzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, "You are thoughtful."

Ma Yaozu said hastily, "The students are just voicing their own guesses, which may be wrong, but I hope the dean will report to the government, investigate carefully, and let the truth come to light."

"Okay." Lin Shuzhi nodded, "Go out and wait for the people from the restaurant to come."

Ma Yaozu's face froze, he didn't expect that Lin Shuzhi would continue to investigate him, he hesitated to speak, and finally left without saying anything, with his head down.

The officers and soldiers brought the manager of the restaurant and Xiao Er to the academy.

They all said that they saw Ma Yaozu go to the restaurant yesterday, and the time in the restaurant was also suitable.

"Mr. Ma went with Mr. Xiao. They ordered the most expensive private room, and ordered the best food and wine." One of the waiters said.

Ma Yaozu had been prepared for a long time, "Principal, it was Brother Xiao who found out that I failed the exam, invited me to drink, and kindly explained me. But I thought that Brother Xiao didn't go back to the academy, and it had nothing to do with him, so I didn't write in such detail."

Su Liang came out from behind the bookshelf with an indifferent expression, "Since that's the case, Dean Lin invites Mr. Xiao to come over and ask questions. Mr. Ma, tell us now that you and Mr. Xiao had a drink together in the restaurant for two hours yesterday. What did you say? You are all people who are going to take the imperial examination. You must have a good memory. You will not forget what happened yesterday, right? I will ask Mr. Xiao alone at that time. As long as you can match, Mr. Ma will have nothing to do .”

Ma Yaozu's face turned pale, "You...why do you order me?"

"Because she saved the entire academy last night." Lin Shu Zhihan looked at the officers and soldiers next to him with a cold face, "Please go and invite Xiao Shirong immediately." Then he found another person in charge of the government and asked him to watch from the side and give Ma Yaozu recorded a statement.

"I... Brother Xiao and I drank a lot of wine yesterday, and I don't remember what we said." Ma Yaozu said with his head down.

But Xiaoer confessed that Ma Yaozu and Xiao Shirong were not drunk yesterday, and they were sober when they left.

Su Liang looked at Ma Yaozu and said coldly, "You better think clearly, don't be used as a gunman, you won't know how you died!"
