Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 48 Murder
Official Li Tui ordered people to look at the food boxes. The two big food boxes were full of Korean food, including steamed stuffed buns, rice porridge, flower rolls, crystal shrimp dumplings, etc.

Su Yizhao probed over to look, heh!This Zhu Tian is extravagant, can he eat so much early in the morning?This must be the amount of two or three people, right?
"You are in charge of this fasting house on weekdays?" Li Tuiguan asked.

"My lord, there is usually a round every five days, and one person is in charge of five rooms. This time, the women are in charge of numbers one to five."

The woman was a little nervous, twisting the corners of her clothes with both hands, even her breathing was a little short.

"Do you know his daily eating habits? Does Chaoshi eat so much?" Li Tuiguan pointed to the food box and asked.

The woman nodded, "I've also taken court food for him before. He doesn't have a big appetite, so he only eats a little of each item, but there must be a lot of variety."

Li Tuiguan snorted coldly, he was more extravagant than an imperial official like him.

Thinking of this person's identity, and thinking of the Lord Zhu in the court, he couldn't help but feel a little headache.

At this time, Zuo Zuo had to come forward, Su Yizhao took a look and found that he was not the same person as the last time he saw.

"My lord! The deceased was hit on the back of the head and died of excessive blood loss. Judging from the degree and angle of the impact, in comparison, it matches the inkstone. Looking at the water stains on the ground, it was caused by a slip. The size of the footprints can That's right."

The assistant didn't say much when he stepped forward, and directly stated the results of the inspection.

Li Tuiguan nodded, "Maybe the timing is right?"

"The preliminary judgment is that he died an hour ago!" Wu Zuo said without thinking.

Su Yizhao also checked it just now, and what he said is correct.

At this moment, it is the appearance of Sishichu, and it has been almost an hour since the class.

Huh?wrong!

Su Yizhao suddenly noticed something unusual, so Zhu Tian had to use morning food after taking a bath, at least it would take about a quarter of an hour, right?
It should be almost an hour since the academy bell rang, shouldn't that woman bring the court food earlier?
Su Yizhao thought about it, she had already calculated the time before she came, and went into the bookstore a quarter of an hour earlier to make some preparations.

Bring the food box for the woman, and she has to go back immediately.

The morning reading time of the Tiandi class was two quarters of an hour earlier than that of their yellow character class, so the woman should have sent it as if it were two quarters of an hour before she met her.

Glancing at the woman again, the woman was sweating nervously on her forehead, but her eyes were not flustered.

"That means he came outside after taking a bath, but he didn't want his feet to be slippery, so he fell and hit the inkstone."

As Li Tuiguan said, he walked to the desk.

There are still two large characters on the desk, and the ink has dried.

The pen stand was not straightened, and the writing brush that was originally placed on the pen stand moved, and the white paper beside it was stained with ink.

"It should be that his foot slipped, and he wanted to support the desk with his hands, but he didn't grasp it firmly, but knocked over the inkstone on the desk. He just fell on the inkstone and died."

Li Tuiguan looked at the traces in front of him, thinking and making assumptions.

Su Yizhao looked at the inkstone, it was a pottery inkstone, but there were mountains carved on the side of the pottery inkstone.

She couldn't help but think of the Twelve Peaks pottery inkstone she had seen in her previous life. Judging from its old appearance, it looked more like an antique.

Zhao Xi and Zhao Xi said before that Zhu Tian has a hobby of shopping for treasures.

When Zhu Tian fell, he just fell on the raised mountain carving on the inkstone platform, which was covered with blood at the moment.

Su Yizhao dipped a little bit of remaining ink in the inkstone with her hands, and looked at the little ink stains on her hands, she was thoughtful.

I put my ink-stained finger on the tip of my nose and smelled it, and found a strange fragrance coming from it.

Very sweet and slightly dizzy smelling.This is definitely different from the various ink fragrances she has smelled before, and it has an indescribable feeling.

She quickly glanced at the table, but did not find the ink ingot. She was still puzzled, but someone grabbed her collar from behind.

"You little baby, don't move around!" A rough voice came, and the sound was harsh.

Su Yizhao looked back and found that it was a government servant.

The bearded face, the eyes staring like copper bells, and the fierce appearance can scare ten children to tears.

Without any explanation, he carried Su Yizhao to a corner and put it down, then strode away.

Su Yizhao sighed, but someone beside him asked: "But what did you find?"

Um?This throwing threw her to Zhang Fuzi's side.

"What did Master discover?" Su Yizhao asked without answering.

Before Mrs. Zhang could reply, Li Tuiguan asked puzzledly: "But after he took a bath, he didn't have any clothes on, so why did he come outside?"

Su Yizhao pouted, and finally got to the point.

The ancients paid attention to etiquette. It should be rare for people to wander around the room without closing the door or wearing clothes in the early morning.

"That's right! He doesn't wear shoes yet! He doesn't take his clothes or shoes when he takes a bath, and he doesn't even have a change of clothes. It's so strange."

Su Yizhao pointed to the screen where there was only one outer garment.When she said this, the people present suddenly realized.

is not that right?Who doesn't take a bath without changing clothes?So even if you don't change your clothes, where do the clothes you can change go?
No wonder they felt that the room was too tidy, except for some clutter at the desk, the rest was neat and clean.

Even the bathroom is very tidy after taking a shower.

"The time that the woman said is wrong! Shouldn't the food be used up before you come? When you came, the Dizi Bookstore had already been studying for a quarter of an hour, right?"

Zhang Fuzi suddenly whispered a few words beside Su Yizhao, causing Su Yizhao to turn his head to look at him immediately.

"Why? Do you wonder if I didn't make it clear just now?" Master Zhang smiled slightly, his eyes were full of coldness.

"Actually, there are many doubts, but what does it have to do with me?" Mrs. Zhang straightened up and looked down at Su Yizhao.

Su Yizhao was a little astonished, isn't this person the master of the academy?Then Zhu Tian is still his student!So cold?

Then she suddenly felt a little funny, and when she found a doubt, she didn't bring it up immediately, but she was actually weighing it.

After what happened last time, she felt that sometimes it was better not to meddle in other people's business.

However, she still couldn't pass the test in her heart after all.No way, she is so kind.

well!Su Yizhao sighed.

"Pass down the order! Students from several nearby bookstores, as well as Zhu Tian's classmates, and even those who have had contact with Zhu Tian, ​​must be brought for interrogation."

Li Tuiguan's eyes were fixed, this was not an accident at all, but murder!

have to!She won't be able to take this class today.

……

"When did you go to the bookstore this morning?"

A yamen servant was taking notes for the students in the neighboring dormitory, and Su Yizhao took advantage of his small size to run around and listen to their questions.

"The bookstore I went to at a moment."

"Did you hear anything before you left?"

"Time is tight in the morning, and the students are not paying attention!"

Su Yizhao wandered among the students who were interrogated, heard some and nothing, and didn't have any clues for a while.

"Hmph! He has offended so many people on weekdays, so it's not unusual for him to be killed."

Su Yizhao immediately turned his head when he heard the words, and found that the person being interrogated was the student who was sneering in the crowd before.
