Chen Chaoyan silently withdrew her gaze and didn't explain much.After drinking a few sips of tea and calming down, he went on to say: "The white jade four-ear furnace was found in Song Yanzhong's study. Although the box is in Ma Huai's study, since there are problems with the three secret letters, Then you can check this woman again."

"in addition……"

Chen Chaoyan looked up at Xie Xuan, "Those Zuo, Shi, and yamen servants who have been replaced in the past four or five years, the time when they entered the county guard's mansion is not much different from that of Song Yanzhong. Everyone has been replaced, and he is the only one who stayed in place. , it is difficult to prove that he is innocent. Of course, the more important point is that although the prince came to Luyang County to investigate, although there is no result yet, since he has tried everything possible to imprison Meng Baishan in the North Prison, then he and the investigation There is always some connection between them. And Meng Baishan and Song Yanzhong have a very close relationship, which he can't get rid of. Therefore, Song Yanzhong's relationship is also the focus of investigation."

Xie Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Chen Chaoyan simply asked: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Xie Xuan looked at her with a smile on his thin lips, "Miss Chen's memory is really good."

Chen Chaoyan frowned in confusion, "What exactly does the lord want to say?"

Xie Xuan raised his hand, and after Shi Shu and Wen Mo both retreated, he sat up, propped his leg with one hand, and leaned over.From a short distance of fifteen to six minutes, he looked at Chen Chaoyan with frivolous eyes, "Miss Chen has never suffered setbacks, or can she not bear setbacks?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

Xie Xuan looked at her steadily, "I just praised Ms. Chen, but Ms. Chen is like a frightened bird. Why?"

Chen Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, "Praise me?"

"At least there are 700 people in the county guard's mansion. Miss Chen can remember the information of 700 people exactly. With such a strong ability to memorize and use, not to mention preserving the history, it can also be the best in the world." Xie Xuan relied on Going back to the pillow, unfolded the jade bone landscape fan, and said while fanning, "I used to hear people say that I can't forget my memory, but I always sneered at it. Now that I see Miss Chen, I feel that my knowledge is shallow."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chen Chaoyan said a few words casually, and then returned to the main topic, "Wang Da is a member of the Judiciary Cao's military service, and has been in the Sheriff's Mansion for 15 years. At the same time, compared with Ma Huai, he is more satisfied with the characteristics of the murderer who murdered Zhou Zhongcai, such as anti-reconnaissance ability, and participation in the Bao family massacre, etc. Although no evidence about him was found during the investigation, if the three letters There is really a problem with the confidential letter, he is undoubtedly the most convenient person to obtain Ma Huai's fingerprints."

"In addition, we have made it clear that the murderer who murdered Shi Zhi is the same person or the same organization as the murderer who murdered Zhou Zhongcai. According to what I said just now, the murderer will return to the scene of the crime, and has been following us from door to door to investigate. And Wang Da, who investigated the case of Shi Zhi and Shi Jiaoer, is undoubtedly the person who knows the progress of solving the case best, and also the person who knows my method of solving the case the best."

"I also think he is the most suspected." Yuejian suddenly interjected, "When Shi Jiaoer committed suicide and Shi Zhi was killed, Miss Chen originally planned to go to the mortuary to see their bodies, but she was lured by him later. Only then did I go to Shi Jiaoer's residence and the gambling house where Shi Zhi was killed."

"That said, I also remembered." Lingyou said not to be outdone, "The matter of Ma Huai's family opening a medicine store was also on the way back from investigating the case of Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi. After he went to grab medicine for Miss Chen, Said it."

Yue Jian nodded, "Since he joined the army as a judicial officer, it is impossible for him not to know about Bai Shao and I's medical skills. If he knew about it and went to grab the medicine, then he had ulterior motives."

"Also, in the mortuary, if Ruolan and I hadn't rushed quickly, he would have pushed Miss Chen to investigate the case of Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi." Ling You continued, "He is so active, it must be It was arranged long ago."

The attendant glanced at Chen Chaoyan, then at Xie Xuanhou, and said slowly, "That's not all. On the day Mrs. Zhou took out the account book, the young master originally wanted him to play the murderer, and Ma Huai was also specially called by him."

Xie Xuan looked at Chen Chaoyan.

Chen Chaoyan looked at Wang Da's personal relationship map on the light screen.

Wang Da's personal relationship chart is extremely complicated.

Of course, this relationship diagram is entered based on the information on the fingerprint card, so many pictures are grayed out.Putting these pictures aside and looking only at the text, it can be clearly seen that Wang Da has one wife and two concubines.Among them, there is one legitimate son, two legitimate daughters, two concubine sons, and one concubine daughter.The first son married the noble lady of Luyang County, the eldest daughter married the eldest son of Qi Wu, and the second daughter married the second son of the county school chief. , but they are all families or merchants of some status in Luyang County.

You know, joining the military in the judiciary is not a low-level official.

In other words, in terms of strength and prosperity in Luyang County, Feng Shoudao was far inferior to him.

For comparison, Chen Chaoyan also pulled out the information of Song Yanzhong and Shen Jimin who were of the same rank as him.Song Yanzhong entered the Sheriff's Mansion six years ago, while Shen Jimin entered three years ago. Perhaps because of the time difference, the two are far behind his glory.

In the entire county guard's mansion, the only one who can compete with him is Qi Wu.

But Qi Wu was five years ahead of him in the county guard's mansion, and his rank was also half a rank higher than him.

Chen Chaoyan didn't want to use his family background to judge a person's quality, but when all kinds of 'coincidences' came together, it had to make people suspicious.

Not caring about making Xie Xuan suspicious of her, Chen Chaoyan went straight to Wang Da's house to check the video.

Wang Da's house is within ten miles of Zhou Zhongcai's house.

I don't know if there is a preconceived notion, but looking at the confessions of everyone in Wang Da's family, Chen Chaoyan's brows unconsciously tightened.

"Strictly speaking, Ma Huai often went to the gambling house and was familiar with Shi Zhi, and Zhou Zhongcai went to the gambling house. Seventy-eight times out of ten, he lost to Shi Zhi and Ma Huai. It was he who led us to Jishanfang and forced the Mrs. Zhao told me. So, I can't wait to go back to the Sheriff's Mansion." Chen Chaoyan looked at Xie Xuan, "Please send someone back to Luyang County, and secretly investigate Wang Da's interpersonal relationship outside the Sheriff's Mansion, such as Whether he has a concubine or an illegitimate child emotionally, as well as the various contacts between him and his in-laws, etc. In addition, the case files of the Sheriff's Mansion for 15 years and the white linen paper used in the three secret letters must also be Let's investigate together."

"Remember to be careful when conducting secret investigations, and don't disturb Wang Da."

"Besides, I have to trouble the prince to send someone back to Luyang County to investigate the white jade four-eared furnace. Since Master Yiqing is a jade carving master that ordinary people can't wait for, then ordinary people will definitely not be able to invite him. That's the case , who asked him to carve the white jade four-eared Yi stove, it is not difficult to find out. The prince has a high status, so it must not be difficult to find out how the white jade four-eared Yi stove was transferred to Ma Huai."

"After finding out the ins and outs, please invite someone to invite the mother-in-law of the Song family to buy vegetables at Ma Huai's house, and let her identify one by one who gave her the white jade four-eared Yi furnace."

"It's not a trivial matter to kill someone and blame others, and the white jade four-eared furnace is not an ordinary item. It is impossible for Ma Huai to let others do it with confidence. So if the white jade four-eared furnace is really Ma Huai's, then the greatest possibility That is, he arranged for his confidantes at home to do this."

Xie Xuan put away the jade bone landscape fan and tapped on the table twice.

There was no movement around, but the sudden silence of Lingyou, Yuejian and others let Chen Chaoyan know that someone had already returned to Luyang County as ordered.

After a while, Xie Xuan tapped the table twice again with the jade bone fan, "Lingyou."

"My lord, let Chonglou go." Lingyou said without thinking.

Xie Xuan looked at him, "Are you sure?"

Lingyou hesitated and said, "Master, let me think about it?"

Xie Xuan snorted, "Go back to Luyang County immediately!"

"I'll be back." Lingyou muttered a few words in a low voice, raised his smiling face, and chattered with Chen Chaoyan for a while before leaving.

Chen Chaoyan watched him go away, although she wished she could go back immediately, Xie Xuan didn't seem to feel her urgency.Still the same as when I came here, it took almost four days to stop and go, before returning to Luyang County.

Despite Lingyou's guarantee, Feng Shoudao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Chaoyan get off the carriage with his own eyes.Obviously, he already knew about Wen Kui's solicitation of her, and he was very annoyed.In his opinion, if a person as capable as Chen Chaoyan wants to stay, he should stay in the county guard's mansion so as not to waste everything. What's the matter with staying in Beilu county?

In the name of their hard work on this trip, after really showing off the solid confidence of Luyang County, Feng Shoudao began to boast again when he was full of wine and food.

During the bragging process, Chen Chaoyan stopped him several times one after another. After Feng Shoudao pretended not to see, Chen Chaoyan had no choice but to look at Xie Xuan for help.

Not only did Xie Xuan not help, but he also ordered Ling You to invite two actors to sing to cheer.

Seeing this, Feng Shoudao naturally praised him even more.

Chen Chaoyan endured it again and again, but finally couldn't take it anymore, took two sips of tea, calmed down his irritability, and asked Lingyou directly: "How's the investigation on the white jade four-eared furnace?"

"Miss Chen has just returned to Luyang County, so let's rest for the night first, and it won't be too late to check tomorrow." Feng Shoudao said.

"I'm really tired." After waiting for his words, Chen Chaoyan quickly put down the teacup and got up, and after giving Xie Xuan and him each a hand, he said, "I won't disturb the lord and your lord's pleasure."

After the words fell, before Feng Shoudao could speak, she quickly turned around and left.

The speed was so fast that it took Feng Shoudao a long while to recover.

Lingyou complained, "I'm not talking about Mr. Feng, but with your attitude, you will push Miss Chen to Beilu County sooner or later."

Feng Shoudao immediately asked, "How do you say that?"

"How else can I say it?" Ling You snorted, "Miss Chen's ability to solve cases and perform autopsies is real and can stand any test. I just heard your flamboyant and flamboyant flattery just now. Insincere, let alone Ms. Chen. On this point, you should learn from Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen always praises Mrs. Chen in moderation. "

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Lingyou said again: "Don't think I'm scaring you. Ms. Chen did not refuse Mr. Wen's solicitation. The reason why she came back to Luyang County with us was because she thought that Zhou Zhongcai's case There are still some places that are not clear."

Feng Shoudao looked at Xie Xuan questioningly.

Xie Xuan said: "He is right."

Feng Shoudao still questioned, "Will the prince not plan to take Miss Chen back to the capital?"
