Chen Chaoyan took two steps forward, stood a little closer to the wall, and made a comparison with his hands.She remembered that when she was looking for clues inside the fence, the height was at the same level as her eyes.Now... the height of the fence is at the tip of her nose.

Is she growing taller, or is the height different inside and out?

Chen Chaoyan stood on tiptoe and looked in, but the wall was about six inches thick. After the line of sight was blocked by the wall, he could only see the ground a little further away. Such a distance could not be compared with the ground outside.

Chen Chaoyan stepped back, and was about to ask Yue Jian to come and have a try, when Xie Xuan's voice sounded in her ear first: "Not bad, I've grown a lot taller."

Chen Chaoyan turned her head and found him standing beside her.After subconsciously taking two steps back and keeping a certain distance from him, she unexpectedly discovered that the last time her eyes were level, what she saw was his chest.This time the eyes were at eye level, but an inch and two above his chest.This is, four centimeters taller?

Her original height was 1.7 meters two, and the previous height of this body was about 1.6 meters two.Now after growing four centimeters taller, it becomes 1.6 meters six.It doesn't need to grow to be as tall as she is, just need to grow another three or four centimeters, which is about the same level as Yue Jian and the others.

Thinking of this, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help looking at Xie Xuan.

She is 1.6 meters six, and the top of her skull can probably reach his lips, and the distance from the lips to the top of her head is about 23 centimeters, so isn't he 1.8 meters five and up?

Glancing again at Wang Da and the yamen guard who only reached his ears, Chen Chaoyan was secretly tucking at his long body and stalking Feng Shoudao, who was on the investigation record, and said: "Compared to when she first came to the sheriff's mansion, Miss Chen He has indeed grown a lot taller."

Chen Chaoyan saw that he didn't even raise his head when he was talking, and then turned his head to look at him, and persuaded him: "Since the investigation has no results, it's not too late to look at these records after you go back."

Feng Shoudao almost blurted out his words of reprimand, but hurriedly stopped, and then changed his words temporarily: "It has been twenty days since Zhou Zhongcai's case happened. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it won't be easy to break."

Chen Chaoyan, who was conceived, joked: "It seems that if the case is not solved, the adults will not trust me."

"Miss Chen's ability to solve the case is obvious to all. The officer said hurry up, but I am worried that if the delay continues, the murderer will escape." Feng Shoudao also knows that there is no rush to solve the case, but he has not found a single clue in the past [-] days. Some dissatisfaction accumulated.

Besides, he has another worry.

The booklet to be sent to the capital has already arrived, but the emperor has not given an explanation so far, which makes him a little uneasy.

I was worried that the emperor would suddenly order Xie Xuan to go back.

This matter was placed more than half a month ago, so he naturally wished that Xie Xuan would leave quickly.But to this day, he doesn't want Xie Xuan to leave, or in other words, he is afraid that Xie Xuan will leave.

Xie Xuan is here, taking over the case, which is tantamount to taking the responsibility away.The case was solved, of course it was his credit.If the case is not solved, then he can bear half of the responsibility.If he leaves, all the responsibility will fall on him.

Not that he was afraid of taking responsibility.But judging from the way he got along with Chen Chaoyan in the past twenty days, if he wanted to leave, he would definitely take Chen Chaoyan with him.If Chen Chaoyan can't solve the case, Wang Da and the others don't even have to count on it.Moreover, with the understanding of this case, Feng Shoudao also vaguely noticed that Zhou Zhongcai's case seemed to be aimed at Xie Xuan.

Then he's leaving...

"Your Excellency, you can rest assured. The murderer who murdered Zhou Zhongcai must be someone who had frequent contacts with him. After more than half a month of investigation, we have found that the people who have frequent contacts with him are nothing more than the Sheriff's Mansion, Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop and Jishan Workshop. There are yamen servants arranged by adults to watch at Yingou Cabinet Square, the people in the county guard’s mansion have their official records, and the people in Jishanfang have their records in their hands.” Chen Chaoyan didn’t know what he was thinking, and kindly comforted him. , "Is it the king's land in the world, unless they escape from the Great Wei, otherwise, even if they escape to the ends of the world, the court can arrest them all and bring them to justice."

Feng Shoudao said insincerely: "Then I will borrow Miss Chen's auspicious words."

Seeing him like this, Chen Chaoyan stopped persuading him, but turned around and looked at Zhou Zhongcai's study again.

After a while, she said: "In the past 100 days, we have investigated more than 100 households in Yingou Cabinet Workshop and the Sheriff's Mansion. The study rooms of these more than [-] people are basically located in secret locations, or in other words, they are hidden places. The position of a person. Why is Zhou Zhongcai's study located here alone?"

Chen Chaoyan, who hadn't paid attention to this issue a few times before, looked back at the courtyard behind him.The courtyard behind and Zhou's house are separated by a three-foot-wide alleyway. The layout is basically the same as Zhou's house, but the study room is not set on the side like Zhou's house.

Looking at the other courtyards adjacent to it, almost all of them are like this.

Chen Chaoyan withdrew her gaze, and continued incomprehensibly, "Standing here at my height, I can almost see his study room at a glance. And people's curiosity is the most irresistible. People who pass by here may consciously and Unconsciously, he would turn his head and look at his study a few times. It is impossible for him not to know this. Now that he knows, why..."

Lingyou came over, followed her for a second look, and said carelessly: "If he sets up his study here, how would the murderer kill him?"

Chen Chaoyan's heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Zhongcai set up his study here, certainly not for the convenience of the murderer to kill him.

Neither is it convenient for the murderer to kill him...

Then, after knowing that the murderer who killed him was someone close to him, and that his death was for money and power, the purpose of setting up his study here is self-evident: to facilitate contact with people!

It is also known that the murderer who killed him was one or two of the eight people whose fingerprints were left on the deed, and that one or two of them were in... Chen Chaoyan glanced at the two with his peripheral vision calmly He glanced at Feng Shoudao and Qian Wen and Zhao Wuwei behind him, then at Wang Dahou, and then at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan also looked at her.

Seeing that the two had the same idea, Chen Chaoyan blinked quietly and asked, "Why don't you find someone to test it out?"

Xie Xuan curled his lips slightly, "What is the experiment?"

Chen Chaoyan said: "How about letting someone pretend to be Zhou Zhongcai to sit in the study, and then let someone pretend to be a murderer to sneak into the study and kill him?"

Xie Xuan tacitly glanced at Lingyou and Chonglou, then at Yuejian and Shishu, and said, "They are not suitable."

after that.

He looked at Wang Da.

Wang Da reacted quickly and said: "Then let Ma Huai come! This stinky boy has been using the excuse of protecting Zhou Zhongcai's study recently, always stealing, playing tricks and not wanting to work too much! If you come here today, let's see if he has any reason to come again." be lazy!"

Anyway, Ma Huai was also one of the eight people whose fingerprints were left on the lease, Chen Chaoyan said noncommittally, "Then let him come."

Wang Da suppressed the sharpness in his eyes, and took a quick look at the yamen servant.

The yamen servant immediately called Ma Huai a few times at the top of his voice.

Ma Huai was dozing off on the elm tree outside Zhou Zhongcai's study, when he heard a voice calling him, he jumped off the tree and followed the sound into the green bamboo forest.Seeing Xie Xuan, Chen Chaoyan, and Feng Shoudao through the gap between the green bamboos, my heart skipped a beat in fright, and I immediately flew out of the fence, bowing to each other in salute.

Huiwu, running a pharmacy at home, one of the judicial history of the county guard's mansion, and participating in the massacre of the Bao family, everything can be perfectly portrayed by the murderer who murdered Zhou Zhongcai.Moreover, he also likes to gamble, and often goes to Jishanfang, so he must know Shi Zhi.In addition, he went to Silver Hook Cabinet Shop to find the cashier surnamed Jiang and Wang Quan's pawn... Chen Chaoyan took a few deep glances at him.

Seeing this, Wang Da couldn't help but take a deep look at Ma Huai, and then told the yamen servants around him to let him enter the study to pretend to be Zhou Zhongcai.Then, he ordered Ma Huai: "My lord and Ms. Chen have an order for you to disguise yourself as the murderer and enter the house to murder 'Zhou Zhongcai' in order to find traces of the real murderer."

"Do it well, don't steal and play tricks again!"

"Who is stealing and playing tricks?" Ma Huai retorted a few words in a low voice, then quickly glanced at Xie Xuan and Feng Shoudao, seeing that neither of them objected, he quickly climbed over the wall, past the green bamboo, and entered the study through the window, and put the just The yamen servant who sat down in front of the desk was hacked with a knife and passed out.

After that, he came out quickly again, stood on one side, and waited for orders.

The whole process took less than twenty breaths.

But Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuangu couldn't care less about him, they both looked at the green bamboo forest in unison.
