I am the best in the world with the crime solving system

Chen Chaoyan glanced at the surrounding people from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk in the house first."

"Yes, yes, the first room, the first room." Mrs. Zhou said as she was about to welcome her into the room.

Chen Chaoyan didn't move, and waited for Xie Xuan to leave first before she followed closely.

Mrs. Zhou focused all her attention on her. Seeing that Xie Xuan was there, her feet softened and she was about to kneel down.Chen Chaoyan held her hand in a timely manner, "Don't be too polite, it's important."

"Miss Chen is right." Mrs. Zhou forced herself to stand still, and took two small steps back calmly.After Chen Chaoyan left first, she helped her mother-in-law to follow slowly.

Entering the gate, the chaos outside is gradually isolated.

Although Mrs. Zhou was afraid of Xie Xuan, she couldn't wait to speak: "Miss Chen..."

"Go to the study first." Chen Chaoyan interrupted her.

Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth and swallowed the words reluctantly.

When Chen Chaoyan saw it, he deliberately took two steps slower, and after walking a dozen or so steps side by side with her, he asked slowly: "Recently, no one has been to the study room, right?"

Mrs. Zhou slightly tightened the hand holding her mother-in-law, "No."

Chen Chaoyan continued to ask without doubt, "Aside from the account book that Mr. Feng gave, do you have any other account books?"

Mrs. Zhou's hand holding the mother-in-law tightened again, and a little panic flashed in her eyes.When Chen Chaoyan couldn't wait for her answer and looked at her, Mrs. Zhou quickly said: "No."

Chen Chaoyan looked at her fixedly, "No, or don't know?"

Mrs. Zhou avoided her gaze, and at the same time held her mother's hand tightly and said, "I, I don't know."

After Chen Chaoyan glanced at her a few times, she looked away and didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't ask, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't help it anymore. After she hesitated to speak for a few times, she quickly glanced at Xie Xuan who was walking in front, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Ms. Xianggong's murderer..."

The study has arrived.

Xie Xuan was waiting for Chen Chaoyan at the door.

Chen Chaoyan stopped in her tracks, looked at Mrs. Zhou who stopped the second half of the conversation with a guilty conscience, and asked again: "Whether the account book has anything to do with the murderer who killed your husband, you will only know after reading the account book. So I will ask Madam again." Ma'am, are you sure your husband didn't leave any other account books?"

Mrs. Zhou avoided her gaze again, "I..."

"Ma'am, you'd better think clearly before answering." Chen Chaoyan said.

"I married him..."

Seeing that she was still struggling and hesitating, Chen Chaoyan interrupted her impatiently, and deliberately said: "The murderer who killed your husband is not Ma Huai!"

After saying that, without giving Madam Zhou time to react, she turned and went into the study.

"Miss Chen!"

Mrs. Zhou turned her head back in horror, and after a few quick steps she wanted to chase her, but Yuejian reached out to stop her at the right time, "Madam, please stay."

"I……"

Yuejian interrupted her calmly: "Madam, if you have anything to say, it won't be too late to say it after Miss Chen comes out of the study."

Mrs. Zhou looked anxiously at the study, wanting to break into it, but she was afraid of Ruolan who was wearing a sword beside her.

And when she was worried.

in the library.

Chen Chaoyan glanced around.

On the bright side, the study is still the same as before, and there is no trace of being touched.

But Mrs. Zhou's concealment of the account books made Chen Chaoyan uneasy open the light screen, as if looking for faults, and compared them one by one from left to right.

Xie Xuan stood beside her, and after following her gaze around for a few times, he asked, "What did you find?"

While comparing, Chen Chaoyan recounted the previous conversation with Mrs. Zhou one by one.After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then said: "From the last time she took out the account book that exposed Song Yanzhong's corruption and perversion of the law, she still knows Zhou Zhongcai's actions. The sentence I asked just now is No or I don’t know’, it’s just a routine. If she insists that she doesn’t have it, I probably won’t doubt it. But her hesitation let me know that she is lying.”

"The reason for lying is not clear at the moment."

"Leave her alone for a while."

Xie Xuan looked sideways at her slightly.

Chen Chaoyan said: "I did say that we must use evidence to speak, because the most fatal mistake in solving a case is to conduct blind reasoning or guessing without evidence as the basis. Guess. But..."

Chen Chaoyan turned to look at him, "I never said that reasoning, guessing, assumption, and assumption are wrong and unfeasible. As long as you make fantasies and assumptions based on existing clues, you can boldly verify them. A way of finding evidence."

Xie Xuan smiled lightly, "I didn't say a word, good and bad, you will finish it."

Chen Chaoyan smiled, "It's true that the prince didn't say a word, but his eyes said a lot."

"Really?" Xie Xuan asked with great interest, "Tell me."

"It's a long story, so I'll just say it briefly..." Chen Chaoyan looked at the second shelf from the left on the third floor, suddenly stopped talking, and said in a deep voice, "Let the yamen servants outside the house and Mrs. Zhou come in!"

After Xie Xuanshun glanced at the cubicle twice, she cast her gaze on the five yamen servants and Mrs. Zhou who came in one after another.

"During this time, who has entered the study?" Chen Chaoyan glanced at Mrs. Zhou, then looked at the five yamen servants.

The five yamen servants glanced at each other, and when they were about to answer, Yue Jian stepped forward and said, "It's best to think clearly before answering!"

That's what he said, but one of the yamen servants didn't think much about it, so he pointed to Mrs. Zhou and said, "She came in and said she wanted to fetch two books for the children."

Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuan looked at Madam Zhou together.

The rest of the people also looked at Mrs. Zhou at the same time.

Mrs. Zhou could hardly stand leaning against her mother-in-law's arms, and tears flowed down before she spoke.

The sun had already set, and the sky was full of sunset glow, which reflected the whole courtyard red.The red fell to the study through the window, as if laying a layer of fine silk and satin for the study.

It's just that if you don't look closely at the silk, it looks more like it's been stained with human blood.

"It is true that I took two books, one is "The Analects of Confucius" and the other is "Book of Rites." After Chen Chaoyan finished speaking quietly, he turned his head and ordered Yue Jian to take out all the books in the compartment.These books, after Zhou Zhongcai's case happened, she asked people to check them carefully. They were all old books, scattered and full of bugs.

Mrs. Zhou's previous explanation was that Zhou Zhongcai collected the books one by one from other places.Based on the account book she handed over, Chen Chaoyan had no doubts before.

But at this moment, I checked a few books again, but there was still nothing.

Seeing her eyebrows gradually knit together, Xie Xuan gave a low laugh, then tapped her head twice with a jade bone landscape fan, and when she looked up, he casually reminded: "There is no problem with the book. Try to check it out again."

After thinking about it, Chen Chaoyan immediately went to the cubicle, and stretched out her hand to feel around the cubicle.After only a moment, she felt a bulge the size of a fingernail, and without thinking about it, she pressed it down.

A soft sound.

A box that was slightly smaller than the cubicle and embedded in the wall was exposed.

The casket is empty.
