The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 113 Wang Xing is not dead

Qi Zhen watched the interaction between the two with amusement, and went to the old case office to find the test paper he brought back that day.

At this time, the secretary came in to report: "Secretary Lin, Princess Annan is here."

Ye Xi.

Lin Shanjuan still liked chatting with her. After all, this person was a friend, and last time he personally came to the door to welcome her in, so she also stood up to greet her.

But Ye Xi had already walked outside the hall. Seeing her come out to greet him, he smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? The officer at the door could have just let me in. Why would you bother coming to greet me?"

Lin Shan smiled wearily: "Isn't this just superficial work? How about it, does it seem enthusiastic?"

Ye Xi knew her personality very well and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, you are very enthusiastic."

The two walked in laughing. Seeing Bai Shu, who looked exhausted, Ye Xi took the initiative to ask, "Where have you been, Bai Shu?"

Lin Shanjuan: "It's still the Yingbinlou case. It's even more complicated now. He went to Quxian Town to look for the handwriting of those four people for the past two months and just came back."

"Four people?" Ye Xi was surprised. "I only heard that there was another murder at Yunqi Inn a few days ago, so I came to see you. How come there are so many deaths?"

Lin Shanjuan shook his head and decided to tell Qi Zhen about the case in general while she was still here.

Following Lin Shanjuan's explanation, Bai Shu, who had fallen behind by two months, finally made up for the missed lessons and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, there's another piece of gossip." Bai Shu approached Lin Shanjuan with a sly look in his eyes. "Boss, do you want to know who this love letter is written to?"

Lin Shanjuan picked up the cheesy love letter and continued to read it, "Stop keeping me in suspense and just say what you want to say."

Bai Shu: "Xiao Lian! This is not the point. The point is - Xiao Lian is Zhao Chuan's wife!"

Lin Shanjuan paused, and exchanged a glance with Ye Xi, both a little surprised: "You mean, Zhao Chuan?"

Wang Xing, Zhao Chuan, Xu Feng, and Du Nan are from the same hometown?

Bai Shu became more excited and spoke more passionately, "The four of them and Xiaolian are childhood sweethearts. Xiaolian is indeed beautiful, and she is the daughter of the village head. All four families want to marry into her social status."

"Initially, Wang Xing's parents casually said that Xiaolian and Wang Xing were the best match, but Zhao Chuan resorted to despicable means and snatched her away."

"Later, I asked this question to all four families, and they all said that Xiaolian and their sons were in love."

"Then I simply went to ask Xiaolian, but Xiaolian was a mute girl, she couldn't say anything and couldn't write anything. So I just treated it as gossip and let it go."

Lin Shanjuan's brows knitted together after hearing this—

In other words, Wang Xing and Zhao Chuan have a grudge against each other over who stole his wife?

If that's the case, it should be Wang Xing who killed Zhao Chuan. Why was Wang Xing killed instead, and why did two Wang Xings appear?

Ye Xi also thought about the two Wang Xings, so she asked, "What does Wang Xing look like? Do you know?"

Bai Shu shook his head. "I don't know what he looks like. I only know he's tall, the tallest of the four, and also the best looking. His family is better off than the others, and he's never worked, so he's a bit paler."

There were a ton of people who fit this description. Qi Zhen, returning with his papers, happened to hear this and sighed, "Where can I find them? There are people like them everywhere in Beijing."

Lin Shanjuan thought of a way to use this information: "There are indeed many people like this in the capital, but among the four of them, only one is like this."

Ye Xi suddenly remembered the corpse he saw in the reception building that night, and followed the line of thought provided by Lin Shanjuan:

"The first one, Wang Xing, was skinny, with a pale, hungry complexion and calluses on his hands from work. He didn't fit this description."

Qi Zhen also suddenly understood: "So, even though the second Wang Xing is rotten beyond recognition, he is still not as tall as the first Wang Xing, so it must not be true!"

Several people looked at each other and thought of the key to the matter -

"These two Wang Xings are fake. The real Wang Xing is not dead yet!"

Lin Shanjuan continued his analysis, "If that's the case, then it's possible that Wang Xing wasn't the deceased, but just the name used for registration! The number one private room in the Yingbin Building, and the number one private room in the Yunqi Inn, aren't something their wallets can afford."

Her gaze suddenly sharpened, piercing through the mist, and she hit the nail on the head: "And the murderer can."

As Qi Zhaomian said, the murderer colluded with court officials to leak the questions, so he must have offered something as a bribe, or the officials took the initiative to help him hide in order to protect themselves.

No matter what, the fact that the two dead people were named Wang Xing is definitely not a coincidence.

Wang Xing is the most likely murderer.

The person who died in the welcoming building should be Zhao Chuan. Wang Xing killed him not only for fame and fortune, but also probably to avenge his wife's theft!

With just one clue, they were led directly to the truth. The three of them were completely impressed by Lin Shanjuan's thinking ability.

Bai Shu lowered his eyes and saw such a huge pile of red scrolls. He vaguely guessed Lin Shanjuan's intention and was surprised but also a little bit hard to accept.

"So many? Do you want to check the handwriting one by one?"

Lin Shanjuan scratched his forehead. "I was originally thinking of looking for some more clues here, but now that we've identified the culprit, we can look for some evidence."

Bai Shu's lips twisted, "Ah—Boss, you know I get dizzy just looking at words."

Lin Shan gave him a tired look. Ye Xi smiled and said, "I'll help you find it."

Bai Shu quickly took the opportunity to escape: "Then let's go catch Wang Xing now!"

He was about to take off with the knife in hand when Qi Zhen stopped him: "How are you going to catch him when you don't even know what he looks like? Are you going to run away?"

Bai Shu smiled awkwardly and immediately changed his mind: "Then I'll go get Wang Xing's parents back now! If you can find them in the time it takes to go back and forth, I can also bring his parents here to identify them!"

Lin Shanjuan was the first to flip through the papers: "Try to ask as much as possible about the feud between Wang Xing and Zhao Chuan. If possible, it would be best if all four families can come."

Bai Shu nodded, and set off on horseback with a group of people.

Seeing this, Qi Zhen regretted not thinking of it earlier. He sat down dejectedly and began to flip through the red scroll.

Ye Xi and Lin Shanjuan looked at each other, both feeling a little helpless.

The three of them compared their photos one by one, from morning till sunset, but they couldn't see any difference.

It is because the late emperor loved calligraphy very much and was particularly fond of people who wrote neatly, so until now, this style of writing has been popular in Jingguo.

These students have studied poetry and literature for many years, so of course they would not miss such an obvious point to score points. Therefore, the handwriting is mostly similar and you can't tell anything if you look hard.

It was dark, and Lin Shanjuan was already feeling visibly dizzy and blurry, so he simply picked up the love letter and studied it again.

At first, I thought the content was corny, but now Lin Shanjuan feels like he has been brainwashed, and his mind is full of these lines of words.
