Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 305 The Chunwei Exam Is Over
"It's really too tragic!"

Liu Ruoxin couldn't help but say the same.

She had been in Xichang for so many years, but she had never seen such a bloody scene.

Bai Zhantang nodded, he adhered to the principle of no killing and would not kill easily, and Bai Zhantang had never encountered such a situation in Mr. Zhou's house.

"People should not have gone far."

Zhang Chen tested the temperature of the corpse, then turned to look at the courtyard wall and said.

"I go!"

Bai Zhantang said out loud that he was the fastest among all the people except Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.

With a whoosh, Bai Zhantang's figure quickly disappeared into the courtyard.

"Let's look for it and see if there are any useful clues."

Zhang Chen looked around for a while, then looked at the rest of the people and said, they came in time, and the silence of this person is obviously not long after he got the news.

"Hopefully there will be clues."

Liu Ruoxin sighed.

Several people began to search the courtyard and the house, and the moon fell silent again for a while, only the sound of their own breathing and subtle noises remained in their ears.

Zhang Chen and the others didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and carefully searched every corner in the courtyard. The situation at this time was very dangerous, and they didn't know if they would encounter any danger.

During the search, they had the same question in their minds. The news leaked out too fast this time. They had just left the emperor when Mr. Zhou was wiped out.

In Master Zhou's study room, they found some sand tables and books, which made them more sure that there were indeed important clues in this place.

However, the few of them didn't see what was on the sand table. At the same time, they found a mysterious document in the basement. The content was very complicated, and Zhang Chen and others couldn't understand it.

"This document looks very valuable. It seems that the killer has not completely erased the traces."

After searching the entire secret room, Liu Ruoxin lowered her voice and said, this is a surprise, maybe they came so fast that the killer didn't have time to destroy these things.

However, Zhang Chen had another guess. This secret room was probably built quietly by Mr. Zhou himself, and his purpose was to study this map for himself.

"Huh? You disagree with my guess?"

Liu Ruoxin noticed Zhang Chen's expression.

"I just can't draw conclusions, because this secret room is secret enough, and it's not very frequently used in terms of the degree of use."

Zhang Chen looked at the secret room and said.

"Don't talk about it, you two, let's study this strange map again."

Zhu Yipin interrupted the conversation between the two, his attention was all on the map, Zhang Chen and Liu Ruoxin nodded, and squatted down to observe carefully together.

This map is not a standard map, but a blurry hand-drawn map. Many places and routes are marked on the map, but the specific terrain and physical features are not marked, making it difficult to see where it is.

"What is this place?"

Zhang Chen frowned and asked suspiciously, the matter had developed to the point where he could not predict it.

"I don't know, but this route and the marked location seem very mysterious. Maybe it's the base of some secret organization? Do you think it's the old lair of the fellow boat club?"

Liu Ruoxin guessed, this guess fits the current scene very well.

"Maybe it is some kind of mysterious ruins, where the gold and silver treasures of a rich man are hidden?"

Zhu Yipin agreed, but his guess was more conjectural.

The two of them put forward various guesses, but they didn't get a response in the end. Zhang Chen and Yang Yuxuan tried to find some clues from this map.

Although they may not be very clear about the meaning of this map, their evidence-based thinking in this case tells them that the routes and markings on this map should hide some secrets.

At such an important time, the two of them certainly didn't have time to listen to these words, and their attention was all on this map.

After some careful research, they finally found some clues. These clues may not be very intuitive, but they are related to the case. The two began to record these clues on paper, and then sorted out the relationship between them, trying to find a breakthrough in the case.

"Hey, Brother Bai is back!"

Just when Zhang Chen and Yang Yuxuan were connecting these clues, Bai Zhantang finally rushed back from the outside, and Zhu Yipin hurriedly shouted.

"How, have you found anyone?"

Zhang Chen looked up, wanting to know the final outcome of the matter.

"People have seen it, but it's not very good."

Bai Zhantang shook his head, and then introduced the situation he had encountered before. After Bai Zhantang went out, he did catch up with the killer. Originally, he wanted to capture him back alive, but who would have thought that the killer would directly swallow the medicine and commit suicide? It made Bai Zhantang look regretful.

"Where is that person's body, have you found out who it is?"

Liu Ruoxin quickly asked.

Bai Zhantang shook his head again, after the killer died, he searched his body, and there was nothing on the killer to prove his identity.

"Suicide by swallowing medicine is too common in assassin organizations in Jianghu, and it really can't be used as a useful clue."

Yang Yuxuan calmly analyzed.

"But it's not in vain. At least we know that this is an organized operation, and we also have new discoveries here."

Zhang Chen finally concluded, and then focused everyone's attention on the map in his hand.

"I already have some clues here, we still have to rush to the other few houses, I don't believe he really dared to let them all be killed.

But you can't ignore it here, Yipin, you take my waist card to find someone, and then ask them to pack the things here, remember not to let them miss the slightest detail. "

Zhang Chen continued.

Zhu Yipin nodded first, and after realizing it, Zhu Yipin asked in surprise: "Ah? Leave me here to find someone? How about you?"

"We have to act separately and arrest them according to the list given by the emperor."

Zhang Chen divided the list among several people.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chen took them and left the Zhou Mansion directly. After a while, Zhu Yipin was the only one left in the Zhou Mansion.

"Why does it feel so gloomy, I'd better find someone to clean up the scene."

Zhu Yipin shivered all over, even though it was daytime, he didn't feel the slightest warmth.

When Zhu Yipin was looking for someone to clean up, the rest of the people also completed their tasks. This time they didn't encounter anything in the Zhou Mansion, and they arrested him very smoothly.

What they didn't know was that when they started to arrest everyone according to the list given by the emperor, the spring exam finally came to an end.

Scholars from all over the world went out one after another, but if they paid attention to their surroundings, they would find that individual scholars always disappeared.
