Daxianguan

Chapter 556
Possibly, this is the reason for He Changgui's sudden disappearance.

But Chu Xian always felt that something was wrong.

If the murderer behind the scenes wanted to get He Changgui, he should have done it a long time ago. Why did he wait for several days? It happened that something happened to He Changgui when he went to find He Changgui himself.

Could it be such a coincidence?

This doubt could not be resolved for the time being, but Chu Xian did not stop looking for He Changgui. Although Chu Xian knew that the possibility of finding He Changgui was too small under the current circumstances, but he had to look for it.

Chu Xian went to investigate He Changgui's school immediately, including the things He Changgui left behind, and Chu Xian also withheld all the things in the name of the law enforcement team.

Not only that, Chu Xian also needs to know more about He Changgui.

Because of He Changgui's disappearance, the murderer may have done it, but there is another possibility, that is, He Changgui is the murderer and he has already escaped.

It's not that there is no such possibility, so it is necessary to take out all kinds of possibilities, verify them one by one, and eliminate the impossible, and what remains is the only truth.

For this reason, Chu Xian wrote letters to Kong Qian, Cui Huanzhi, and officials he knew, asking them to help him find out about He Changgui.

But in two days, the reply came back like snowflakes.

In more than a dozen replies, Chu Xian gained a relatively in-depth understanding of He Changgui through his profile and his known cognition.

To put it simply, He Changgui has no skills.

Cui Huanzhi is an official of the Ministry of Officials, so it is easy to find out He Changgui's official position. He Changgui's promotion, all the way, is to curry favor with others.

Of course, it cannot be said that He Changgui has no ability at all. He still has relative ability, but he mainly relies on currying favor with the superior to seek promotion.

Even this time when he came to Tianyuan Academy for further study, He Changgui was able to come here through his connections.In fact, the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty is a giant, with tens of thousands of officials. It is not surprising that there are indeed some people like He Changgui.

With this level of understanding, the possibility of Chu Xian knowing that He Changgui was the murderer of Lian Qing is not great.

The reason is very simple, if it is such a person, how could it be possible to kill Lianqing, and He Changgui's past is also very detailed, there is no dark place or unknown place, because those senior officials who helped He Changgui in the past, this Cui Huanzhi also checked everything once, and it can be said that this knowledge is reliable.

However, although it can basically be confirmed that He Changgui is not the murderer, it is not certain whether the other party has any other relationship with the murderer.

In addition, He Changgui's promotion all the way is not from a family background. He has done some dark things more or less, and the other party is not a good person.

Just using excuses to coerce other officials to help him, He Changgui has done a lot of this kind of thing, and he is proficient in it.

After gaining an understanding of He Changgui, Chu Xian focused on how He Changgui disappeared.

It is extremely unlikely to get a student out of the academy. Even Chu Xian just used spells to wander around the academy, and even Chu Xian couldn't do it if he wanted to leave.

But now, in order to find He Changgui, he was short of digging three feet. How could He Changgui, a living person, just disappear like this?

In the next few days, the atmosphere in the inner courtyard was tense. The law enforcement team investigated day and night, but there was still no result. Neither the murder of Lian Qing nor the unexpected disappearance of He Changgui made any progress.

On the contrary, Chu Xian heard that the place of the law enforcement team was stolen and lost things last night.

Chu Xian didn't know what was lost, and few people in the law enforcement team knew. Xu Yan must know, but the other party probably wouldn't tell him.

So Chu Xian simply went to Mr. Ouyang directly.

Mr. Ouyang returned from Jingzhou a long time ago. To be honest, although there are many Taoist immortals in the academy, the identity of the enemy is unknown, so no matter how high the cultivation base is, it is useless.Otherwise, if he knew who the culprit was, the other party would have to kneel in an instant. No matter how powerful he was, he would never be able to resist in the future.

Mr. Ouyang was really capable. He asked Chu Xian to wait a while, and then used his magic to investigate with his clone. Before it was time for a cup of tea, Mr. Ouyang told Chu Xian that what the law enforcement team lost last night was a roster.

"Roster?" Chu Xian had a flash of inspiration, secretly thinking that it was broken.

"It's just that you lost a roster, why did you look so ugly all of a sudden?" Mr. Ouyang couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

And Chu Xian didn't have time to respond, he was thinking quickly at the moment.

Because if Chu Xian's guess is right, the missing roster must be the list of all the monster or half-monster students in the academy recently sorted out by the law enforcement team.

After all, Lianqing's death method is too similar to the rumored spider demon murder 50 years ago. Whether it is unintentional or intentional, he will inevitably focus on the demon students in the academy.

Tianyuan Academy has been all-encompassing since ancient times, and there is no discrimination. Although most of the students are from the human race, there are also students from the monster race and witch race. Although the number is not many, there are thousands of them in total.

Because this incident may be related to the Yaozu, it is normal for the law enforcement team to investigate the Yaozu students in the academy as usual.

It's just that in Chu Xian's view, this is probably a trick of the murderer.

Killing Lianqing deliberately did exactly the same as the spider demon killing 50 years ago. This is definitely not aimless. To divert attention.

But now, hearing that the roster was lost, Chu Xian immediately reacted.

This is probably the murderer's most important purpose.

At this moment, Chu Xian was thinking quickly, but Mr. Ouyang, who was next to him with the cultivation level of Immortal Feiyu, had nowhere to use his strength. Things can't replace the ability to deduce the case and determine the murderer. This thing has nothing to do with cultivation.

Chu Xian is very anxious now.

From the very beginning, they were always lagging behind the murderer. To put it bluntly, they were played by the other party between applause. After all, one was in the open and the other was in the dark. If they wanted to overtake their opponent and seize the opportunity, they could not follow the murderer's lead. Follow the routine, otherwise, you will follow farther and farther away, and you will never be able to catch up with the other party.

Chu Xian took a deep breath. Since he became an official, he has solved many unsolved cases and tracked down many cunning criminals. Regardless of the city of mind, he is always first-class. This time, Chu Xian knows that he has met a master, and Chu Xian is sure , the other party will soon achieve his goal. By then, he must have already thought of a way out. If he really missed the opportunity, it would be almost impossible to pursue him again.

So now is the last chance for Chu Xian.

In such a situation, the most taboo thing is to be led by the nose by the opponent. Now the law enforcement team has made this mistake. They think they are extremely tyrannical, but they are being played around by the opponent without any progress. Of course, the law enforcement team cannot be blamed. , the opponent is really too strong.

What Chu Xian has to do now is to simplify the complexity, find a clue and pursue it without interference from other things. As long as this clue can be reached to the end, the murderer can definitely be found.

Chu Xian was still concerned about He Changgui.

Assuming that He Changgui is the murderer, this possibility is too small, no matter the city, cultivation level, character, or even purpose, it does not support this assumption.Then the best thing to do is, will He Changgui be an accomplice?

Chu Xian thinks that the possibility is not great.

Judging from what Chu Xian knew, He Changgui is a mercenary person who is mercenary, and he has no control over his mouth, and is easy to leak information. He would not work with someone like He Changgui.

What's more, if you do something like this, you will lose your head if you are not careful.

The hypothesis of an accomplice does not seem to hold water either.

Then, there is only one last possibility left. He Changgui knew something and was silenced. This point has been confirmed by Chu Xian in a letter from Cui Huan later. If he died, he would be able to see it in the official book. Cui Huanzhi had already asked the immortal official who guarded the official book to confirm this.

The murderer did not kill He Changgui for no reason. Then, when he was drinking tea and chatting in his school that day, He Changgui must have seen something he shouldn't have seen and knew something he shouldn't have known. kill.

But when I saw He Changgui for the last time, the other party didn't confide anything. How can I explain this?
Chu Xian felt that he was about to grasp the key point.

In Chu Xian's view, the murderer of He Changgui was definitely not planned in advance. This is completely different from the situation of killing Lianqing and Mr. Jiang Luo.

So, why did the murderer kill He Changgui?
Thinking of He Changgui's method of promotion all the way, Chu Xian suddenly realized.

What He Changgui is best at is to gain influence and curry favor with others. This is his main method, but in the same way, He Changgui also often does things that take advantage of others and threaten benefits.

This is his nature, then, could it be that He Changgui saw something, took this thing, blackmailed the murderer, and sought benefits, but in the end he was mistaken by his cleverness and lost his life?

This possibility is not impossible, on the contrary, it is very large.

Chu Xian dipped into the Shenhai library again, mirroring the scene of drinking tea and chatting when they visited him that day, carefully observing bit by bit.

Finally, Chu Xian discovered something.

There were two of them and something was wrong.

One is naturally He Changgui. This person looks left and right, obviously observing everyone, especially himself. After all, he is also a governor and an example of literati. According to He Changgui's character, he must pay more attention to observation, understand his preferences, and then In order to further curry favor.

He Changgui not only observes himself, but also observes other people. The surprising thing is that He Changgui looks at Lianqing more often.
