"Then let us analyze from the beginning. If you were Zhou Min, how would you deal with this?" Xu Qi 'an looked around at the crowd and asked.
The night watchmen started to discuss one after another.
"Using the secret code of the night watchmen?"
"Didn't I say it just now? This secret code's confidentiality level is not high enough."
"If it were me, I would hide it in a place where no one can find it."
"Nonsense. If no one can find it, then what's the point of hiding the evidence?"
At this point, everyone was stunned. The scene fell into a short silence.
Xu Qi 'an snapped his fingers. He looked at the gong that inadvertently revealed the mystery and said, "That's right. The purpose of Zhou Min hiding the evidence is to be found, to be found by us. Follow this train of thought and think again. "
Inspector Zhang clapped his hands and praised repeatedly. He said in a slightly excited manner, "That's right.
Zhou Min wouldn't hide the evidence in a place where no one can find it. Then the object that hid the clue wouldn't be valuable, but it would be very conspicuous. "
All of a sudden, everyone's train of thought opened up. They felt that they had touched the door to a new world. They started to think excitedly.
A few minutes later, the night watchmen looked at each other in confusion. "But, these objects have all been checked. There's no secret code, and there's nothing that fits the jade pendant. "
The door to a new world suddenly closed. They started to doubt their lives again. So, everyone looked at Xu Qi 'an.
… There were too few previous clues. There was no way to investigate. However, investigating a case was to look for clues. A good criminal investigation expert was good at thinking from all angles and looking for clues from the details.
And a rookie would only be like a little kid with a head full of question marks … Xu Qi 'an turned a blind eye to everyone's gazes. He was immersed in his own world.
"Do you have any clues …" A gong couldn't help but ask. But before he could finish, his mouth was sealed by Jiang Lvzhong.
"Don't disturb him," Jiang Lvzhong said in a deep voice.
Inspector Zhang also gestured with his hand, indicating for everyone to remain calm. He placed all his bets on Xu Qi 'an. This young gong used his own "battle record" to prove his value and ability.
Inspector Zhang couldn't help but wonder if the reason why Duke Wei sent Xu Qi 'an here was because he anticipated the changes in Yunzhou.
It's precisely because he predicted that this case would be difficult … that he sent Xu Qi'an, a genius at solving cases, to help me … Duke Wei is indeed far-sighted and far-sighted.
"Correspondingly, Duke Wei, who is a master of foresight, will send Xu Qi 'an here, which means that he will definitely be able to solve the case." Inspector Zhang was secretly excited, he felt his mood lighten up, he was no longer as agitated as before.
He used to be an imperial censor, so solving cases was really difficult for him. Fortunately, there was Xu Ningyan …
Xu Qi 'an did not know about Inspector Zhang's rich inner drama. He was immersed in his own deduction.
Are there really clues in these relics? If I were Zhou Min, I would think of a way to leave a clue for the night watchman … But I might not leave it in the relics, because it would be too easy to destroy. All it would take was a big fire to turn it into ashes … But not leaving a clue was out of the question. So, the safest way was to work on two fronts, and not put all my eggs in one basket.
'That's right!
If I work on two fronts, Yang Yingying will be Zhou Min's other basket.
Yang Yingying is an unexpected gain, and she is not the clue Zhou Min left for the night watchman. Since I can't find any clues in Zhou Min's relics, why not try to break through Yang Yingying? '
When he thought of this, Xu Qi 'an became spirited, and he felt as if he had been enlightened.
The silver gongs in Soul Refinement Realm keenly noticed the change in Xu Qi 'an's emotions. They became spirited, but just as they were about to ask questions, they noticed that Xu Qi' an's eyes darkened again, and he sank into deep thought again.
The famous detective Xu Ningyan's deduction ran into a bottleneck again, and it was that there were too few clues on Yang Yingying.
'It's still the same problem. There are too few clues, and it's just half a jade pendant. At most, I can only guess that it's some sort of keepsake … I reorganized my thoughts and eliminated the other clue related to Zhou Min. I'll focus on Yang Yingying …
'If Yang Yingying goes to Qingzhou, finds Layman Zi Yang, offers him the jade pendant, and tells him the whole story …' Xu Qi 'an simulated the process in his mind.
'What should Layman Zi Yang do? He'll also face the same predicament I'm facing now: lack of clues.
'In a situation where he's confused and lacks clues, he'll definitely think of a way to obtain more information. But how do I do that? Of course, I have to ask the person who brought me the jade pendant … Yes, yes, yes! I have to ask the person who brought me the jade pendant.
"I've got it, I've got it!" Xu Qi 'an said loudly.
"What did you think of?" Everyone asked in unison.
"There's no hurry. Call Yang Yingying over, I have something to ask her," Xu Qi 'an ordered.
"Go quickly, go quickly!" Inspector Zhang urged.
One of the gongs immediately went upstairs and invited the plump young woman, who had been staying in her room since she finished her meal, out.
Yang Yingying was still wearing the coarse dress she wore when they first met. She bowed gracefully. "Sir, why did you summon me downstairs?"
Xu Qi 'an asked, "What else did Zhou Min say when she handed the jade pendant to you that night?"
Yang Yingying shook her head. "Other than what I said earlier, Sir Zhou didn't say anything else. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten about it. "
She suddenly called Zhou Min husband, then Sir Zhou. This was a sign of extreme lack of confidence. She firmly believed that Zhou Min was her husband, but she also felt that she didn't have the status and didn't live up to her name. Thus, the way she addressed him changed repeatedly.
Xu Qi 'an stroked the teacup. There must be something else. Otherwise, even if Layman Zi Yang was a deity, he wouldn't be able to do anything. Zhou Min was an experienced spy, so her intelligence was definitely on point … Hmm, Yang Yingying didn't know. Maybe she didn't realize it.
"Tell me what Zhou Min said to you that night."
"This …" Yang Yingying said awkwardly, "How could I remember …"
"There's no need for you to miss a single word. Just give me a rough idea." Xu Qi 'an comforted her. At the same time, his heart sank. Yang Yingying probably didn't remember because the two of them talked about trivial matters that night.
It was just like when you walked on the street and saw all kinds of people, you wouldn't remember what they looked like. You might even forget the color of their clothes the moment you turned your head.
The more ordinary someone was, the less you would remember it.
"That night, Lord Zhou came to find me. As usual, he brought me some rouge, cosmetics, and small gifts. There was also a pot of wine and a few catties of pig head meat …
"When we were drinking, he talked to me about some matters related to the officialdom, as well as the bandits in Yunzhou …
"But because I'm a woman, I don't like to listen to these things, so Lord Zhou didn't say too much. After that, they talked about word riddles …
"After dinner, when I was serving him, he told me about that matter and gave me half of the jade pendant."
Xu Qi 'an asked her to focus on "officialdom" and "bandits", but he found out that it was just Zhou Min's complaints.
"What about word riddles? What kind of word riddles do you have?"
Yang Yingying thought about it and said gently, "Ten mouths, one heart."
Xu Qi 'an was just about to think when Inspector Zhang answered, "Think!"
"Exactly." Yang Yingying continued, "Throw one out of a thousand miles, throw one out of a hundred miles."
Inspector Zhang, "Uncle."
Yang Yingying nodded and said, "Eat the ox's tail in one bite."
Inspector Zhang, "Tell."
"Inspector Zhang, you're amazing." The night watchman and the Stalwart Tiger Guards looked at him with admiration.
For some reason, Imperial Inspector Zhang actually had a feeling of exaltation, that feeling of finally not being useless, that he himself was also a dragon among men, how could he let Xu Ningyan outshine others, a feeling of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
Guessing crossword puzzles was a common practice for scholars.
Xu Qi 'an was displeased that Inspector Zhang kept interrupting and interrupting his train of thought. He knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,
"Inspector Zhang, I also have a word riddle that has been bothering me for a long time."
Inspector Zhang nodded slightly, indicating for him to speak.
Xu Qi 'an said, "Miss Wen is getting married."
Inspector Zhang frowned slightly at first, then his brows furrowed tightly, then his face stiffened. In the end, he was at a loss, standing there in a daze.
Xu Qi 'an nodded in satisfaction and looked at Yang Yingying, indicating for her to continue.
"The last two word riddles are: 'Flawless White Jade' and 'Sun and Moon in the Same Sky'. The former is' Emperor ', the latter is' Ming '. "
Xu Qi 'an ordered his colleague to find a pen and paper, spread it on the table, and wrote: Si, Bo, Tell, Huang, Ming.
Five big words.
Jiang Lvzhong looked at it many times, "What do these five words mean?"
These five words couldn't be connected, each word was independent. What was Zhou Min trying to express? Or was it really just a random word riddle?
Xu Qi 'an turned to look at Inspector Zhang, the Inspector was immersed in his own world …
Forget it, these five words were obviously not a word riddle. Then the Inspector's role was useless, let him go and compete with Miss Wen.
Soon after, Xu Qi 'an was also immersed in his own world, "If this is the clue that Zhou Min wanted to reveal to Lay Practitioner Zi Yang, then it won't be too profound and obscure. It must be easily discovered by someone who came to Yunzhou for the first time.
"What thing can be easily discovered by someone who just came to Yunzhou? Let's think about it from another perspective, what thing is needed by someone who just came to Yunzhou … "
I got it!
Xu Qi 'an let out a long breath, "I solved the riddle."
