Seeing Lord Su staring at him, Zhao Ren anxiously explained: "Master Su, I really didn't kill anyone. I went back to the boat that night and fell asleep without knowing what happened."

"On weekdays, do you sleep so deeply?"

Zhao Ren thought for a while, "It's not all. When I got up in the morning and set off, I woke up earlier. I didn't know what happened that day. I just felt sleepy. I wondered if it was because of drinking? Actually, I was still thinking about the first day. I set off on the morning of the second day, and told myself to be more energetic."

"Are you familiar with the people who drank with you that night?"

"They're all old neighbors."

"How many people are there?"

"Three people, add me four."

"Did they know the dead?"

Zhao Ren was stunned for a moment, apparently no one had asked him this question, Zhao Ren looked at Mr Wang, then at Su Jizhi, and replied in a stuttering manner, "Mr Wang, they probably don't know each other."

When Mr. Wang heard Su Jizhi's question, he was also stunned for a moment.

He really never thought about it, and asked Su Jizhi guilty, "Master Su, I don't know about it, and I haven't done any investigation on it."

Su Jizhi shook his head lightly, and turned to Lord Wang: "I have read the autopsy report in the file, the deceased was strangled to death, his name is Zhang Kairong, he is 40 years old, tall?"

Mr. Wang realized what Su Jizhi wanted to ask, and replied affirmatively: "Mr. Su, I can assure you of this. I have also questioned Zhang Kairong's mighty figure before. Can Zhao Ren kill him?" Not sure anymore."

Mr. Wang told the truth, looking at Zhao Yi: "Mr. Su, the two brothers look very similar in shape. Zhao Ren has lost a lot of weight because of being locked up in the prison. In fact, they have the same figure before April."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Yi lowered his head slightly, and then argued: "Lord Su, my brother can't kill someone."

Su Jizhi slightly lowered his eyes, "Zhao Ren, your boat stays on the shore all year round?"

"Yes."

"If it was you, wouldn't it be better if you threw someone into the river in the dead of night after killing someone?"

Everyone was stunned, and then Zhao Yi raised his voice excitedly, "Master Su, do you also think that my brother didn't kill anyone?"

Su Jizhi smiled slightly, "It's too early to be sure that Zhao Ren is not suspected, but there are indeed many doubts in this case."

Brothers Zhao Ren and Zhao Yi looked at each other in disbelief, and fell to their knees with a plop.

"Master Su, thank you for being so discerning and giving my brother justice."

"Please get up quickly." Su Jizhi said as he stood up and helped the two brothers up, "Zhao Yi, you are a policeman, you should know that it is my responsibility to enforce the law impartially, you don't need to say thank you, now you go and take away the people who drank that night. Three people came over."

Zhao Ren watched his younger brother go out, weeping with joy.

"Zhao Ren, if you were wronged, I should find out the truth. Now tell me, how many times have you met the deceased? What impression? Did you know him before?"

"They are from Lingjiang Mansion. They didn't know each other before. They rented my boat because they were going to Bao'an Mansion."

The details on Su Jizhi's memory file, "Recall the memory again, according to what you just said, you only met the deceased once, but the other person twice?"

"Yes, these two people came together when they chartered the boat, and when they asked to change the itinerary, it was the other person who came to talk to me."

"Think about it again, when you returned to the ship that night, there was no one in the cabin?"

"No."

"But you just said that you went back to the ship and went to sleep on the deck of the ship."

"This... I..., I did take a look at the cabin, but I didn't see anything."

"Are you sure you read it? You were so drunk at the time, are you sure there is no one in the cabin?"

Su Jizhi repeatedly questioned Zhao Ren, and Zhao Ren became more and more uncertain. Finally, he said vaguely, "Master Su is right. I'm really not that sure."

"I've read the files. The name of the deceased is Zhang Kairong, and the person with him is Ruan Jingshan. Let me ask again. When did Ruan Jingshan come to see you for the second time?"

"You hour."

"Did they confirm that the time of departure is at [-] o'clock the next day?"

"Yes."

Seeing that the adult was lost in thought again, Wan Yan knew that he had thought of something again.

"Master Wang, I've finished asking all the things I wanted to ask, what else do you have in mind?"

Mr. Wang looked sincere, "I don't have any more. I have asked hundreds of people about this case, and no one has provided any detailed clues."

Su Jizhi looked at the sky, and stood up slowly, "Ms. Xue and I just arrived at Lingjiang Mansion. We wanted to look around. Detective Zhao quickly found the three drinkers and asked them to stay in the waiting room for a while."

"Okay, Mr. Su, the lower officials of the inn have made arrangements. Please, Mr. Su, come with me."

"No, no, no." Su Jizhi quickly denied: "My trip is on official business, so of course I can't let Mr. Wang spend money. Secondly, I need to investigate the case, and I will look at the location to find a suitable residence."

"Oh, Mr. Su, if this is the case, it will be embarrassing for the lower officials."

"Master Wang, there is no need for us to see each other." Su Jizhi looked at Wan Yan, and then hinted at Mr. Wang with his eyes, and the old man suddenly understood.

"Okay, okay, I will follow Master Su's arrangement." Master Wang smiled, and dared to feel that Su Jizhi's intentions were on this girl.

After Zhao Yi left, there were only three people left in the room. The old man asked Su Jizhi seriously, "Master Su, now that Zhao Yi is not here, do you really think Zhao Ren is okay?"

Su Jizhi smiled slightly: "It's still the same sentence. It's too early to say anything now. I have read the files recorded by Mr. Wang carefully and there is no problem."

The old man frowned hesitantly: "Master Su, like you, I have already identified the murderer as Zhao Ren, but I believe in Zhao Yi too much, and I don't want to admit that Zhao Ren is the murderer."

Wan Yan saw a trace of anxiety in the old man's brows, such a Lingjiang governor is indeed a good official.

"Lord Wang, I think about it this way. If Zhao Ren is not guilty, all the evidence we have now is false. As long as we find out what is behind these false appearances, the case will be solved."

Lord Wang opened his eyes wide, shocked that Su Jizhi's investigation method is so simple, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"So, now I'm going to follow Mr. Wang's original investigation direction. I will implement them one by one. As long as there is a problem in one place, then Zhao Ren must be innocent."

There were waves of heat waves on Wan Yan's body, and the adults were always inadvertently inspiring.

The two of them walked out of the Lingjiang government office, and the night wind blew in, dissipating the summer heat, with a hint of autumn coolness.

"My lord, Lingjiang Mansion is colder than the capital city."

Su Jizhi looked around, pointing to a clothing store not far away: "Go, go and have a look."

Wan Yan smiled and refused: "I brought a lot of clothes here, adults don't have to worry about me, I have other very urgent questions for adults to answer."

Su Jizhi's smile deepened: "Your thoughts are all on the case."

Wan Yan lowered her face and said seriously, "My lord, I'm asking seriously, is Zhao Ren really the murderer?"

Su Jizhi stopped and looked at Wan Yan slowly: "How do you know that Zhao Ren is not the murderer?"

"My lord said so."

"When did I say that?"

Wan Yan smiled: "It's been so long, I can see it from the expression of the adults."

Su Jizhi: "..."
