Nightwatcher

v1 Chapter 195: Solve the mystery

"Then let's analyze it from the beginning. If you were Zhou Min, how would you handle this?" Xu Qi'an looked around the crowd and asked.

People will discuss it in one word:

"Using a secret signal to make a change of people's yamen?"

"Didn't you just say that the secret level of this code is not high enough."

"Then if it is me, I hide in a place where no one can find it."

"Nonsense, if no one can find it, what's the point of hiding evidence?"

At this point, everyone was stunned, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

Xu Qi'an snapped his fingers and looked at the gong that unwittingly revealed the mystery, and said, "Yes, Zhou Min's purpose of hiding evidence is to be found and to be found by us. Follow your train of thought and think again."

Governor Zhang gave a boxing palm, a pile of praise, and said with excitement:

"For this reason, Zhou Min will not hide the evidence where no one can find it. Then the objects that hide the clues will not be valuable, but they are very conspicuous."

Suddenly, everyone's thoughts were opened, and they felt that they had touched the door of a new world. Use your brain excitedly.

After a few minutes, the people in Dagong looked at each other blankly, "But, these objects have been checked. There is no secret code, and there is no match with the jade pendant."

The door to the new world closed suddenly, and he began to doubt life again. So everyone turned their attention to Xu Qi'an.

...There are too few front clues to find out. However, investigation is to find clues. A good criminal investigation expert is good at scrutinizing from all angles and looking for clues from details.

And the rookie would only be like a child, full of question marks... Xu Qi'an turned a blind eye to everyone's eyes and was immersed in his own world.

"Do you have any clues..." A silver gong couldn't help asking, but Jiang Luzhong sealed his mouth without saying a word.

"Don't disturb him." Jiang Luzhong said solemnly.

Governor Zhang also squeezed his hand to signal everyone to stay calm. He pressed the treasures on Xu Qi'an, and this young Gonggong proved his value and ability with his "records".

Governor Zhang couldn't help wondering whether the reason Wei Gong sent Xu Qi'an had expected the changes in Yunzhou.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of this case...that Xu Qi'an, a prodigy who solves the case, was sent to help the official...Wei Gong really had a foresight and a far-reaching layout.

"Correspondingly, the brilliant Wei Gonghui sent Xu Qi'an to show that he will be able to solve the case." Governor Zhang was secretly excited, feeling relieved all at once, and no longer so irritable.

He is from a royal background, it is too difficult for him to solve the case, fortunately there is Xu Ningyan...

Xu Qi'an didn't know Governor Zhang's rich inner drama, and was immersed in his own reasoning:

Are there really clues in these relics? If I were Zhou Min, I would find a way to leave clues to the caller...but not necessarily in the relic, because it is too easy to destroy, it only needs a fire to turn to ashes...but It is impossible to leave no clues, so the safest way is to operate in two lines, and the eggs are not put in one basket.

Correct!

Two-lane operation, Yang Yingying is Zhou Min's other basket.

Yang Yingying was an unexpected gain, not a clue left by Zhou Min to fight the guard. Since no clue was found in Zhou Min's remains, why not try to break through from Yang Yingying.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an lifted his spirits, and felt a sudden enlightenment.

The silver gongs of the God Refining Realm were keenly aware of Xu Qi'an's emotional changes, and they were also refreshed. They were about to ask questions, and found that Xu Qi'an's eyes were darkened again, and they fell into hard thinking again.

The reasoning of the famous detective Xu Ningyan encountered a bottleneck again, that is, there were too few clues on Yang Yingying.

"It's still the problem. There are too few clues. It's just a piece of jade pendant. At best, I guess it is some kind of token... Re-organize the clues, eliminate Zhou Min's other line, and focus on the basket of Yang Yingying...

"Suppose Yang Yingying arrives in Qingzhou, finds the Ziyang layman, and offers a jade pendant, Dao Ming's original plan..." Xu Qi'an simulated the process in his brain:

"What should Lay Ziyang do? He will also face my current dilemma: lack of clues.

"When I am confused and lacking clues, I must find a way to obtain more information, so how do I obtain the information? Of course it is to ask the person who brought the jade pendant... people."

"I thought about it, I thought about it!" Xu Qi'an said loudly.

"What did you think of?" everyone said almost in unison.

"No hurry," Xu Qi'an ordered: "Call Yang Yingying over, I have something to ask her."

"Go, go!" Governor Zhang urged.

A gong immediately went upstairs and invited out the plump young woman who stayed in the room after eating.

Yang Yingying was still the coarse cloth skirt when she first saw her, and she gave a salute: "Why did the adults call the women downstairs?"

Xu Qi'an asked, "What else did Zhou Min say when he handed the jade pendant to you that night?"

Yang Yingying shook her head: "Except for those mentioned by the local woman, Lord Zhou did not give any additional explanation. Otherwise, the local woman would not forget it."

She called Zhou Min her husband all of a sudden, and Lord Zhou all of a sudden, this was an expression of extreme unconfidence. I thought Zhou Min was the husband, but felt that he had no status and was not worthy of his name. Therefore the title changes repeatedly.

Xu Qi'an rubbed the tea cup, there must be something to explain, otherwise, even if the layman Ziyang was a god, he would be helpless. Zhou Min is a veteran dark son, IQ is absolutely online...Well, Yang Yingying doesn't know, maybe she didn't notice it.

"You repeat what Zhou Min said to you that night."

"This..." Yang Yingying said, "Where can the local women remember..."

"You don't need to miss a word, just talk about it." Xu Qi'an said relieved, and at the same time, his heart sank slightly. The reason why Yang Yingying didn't remember it was that what the two of them said that night was some short words from their parents.

It's like when you walk on the street and see all kinds of people, you won't remember their appearance, even the color of your clothes will be forgotten.

The more usual, the less it will be remembered.

"That night, Lord Zhou came to see the women of the village, as before, brought me some rouge gouache and small gifts, and then a pot of wine and a few catties of pig meat...

"When I was right, he talked to me about some official affairs and the banditry in Yunzhou...

"But because the local women are a female stream, they don't like to listen to this, so Master Zhou didn't say much. Then it was a word puzzle...

"After the meal, when the lady was serving him, he told me about it and gave me half of the jade pendant."

Xu Qi'an asked her to focus on "officialdom" and "bandits", but found that it was only Zhou Min's complaint.

"What about anagrams, all those anagrams?"

Yang Yingying thought for a while, and said softly: "Ten mouths and one heart."

As soon as Xu Qi'an was about to think about it, Governor Zhang answered: "Think!"

"Exactly." Yang Yingying continued: "One is lost for a thousand miles, and one is lost for a hundred miles."

Governor Zhang: "Bo."

Yang Yingying nodded and said, "Eat the tail of the cow in one bite."

Governor Zhang: "Report."

"The governor is great." Da Gengren and Hu Benwei cast admiring gazes.

I don't know why, Governor Zhang has a feeling of exuberance. That kind of feeling is finally not useless, and the official is also a dragon and phoenix~lightnovelpub.net~ How can Xu Ningyan's exquisite sense of smoothness arise spontaneously.

Character puzzles are completely commonplace for scholars.

Xu Qi'an was dissatisfied that Governor Zhang always interrupted, interrupted his thoughts, knocked on the desk, and said solemnly:

"Master Governor, I also have an anagram, which has been troubled for a long time."

Governor Zhang nodded slightly and motioned for him to ask the question.

Xu Qi'an said: "Girl Wen is married."

Governor Zhang frowned first, then frowned, and then his face became stiff. Finally, the whole person was at a loss and stood there blankly.

Xu Qi'an nodded in satisfaction, looked at Yang Yingying, and asked her to continue.

"The last two different anagrams are:'Baiyu Wuxia' and'Sun Moon Same Sky'. The former is the character for'huang' and the latter is'ming'."

Xu Qi'an ordered his colleagues to find paper and pen, spread them out on the table, and write: Si, Bo, Gao, Huang, Ming.

Five characters.

Jiang Luzhong read it many times, "What do these five words mean?"

The five characters cannot be connected together. Each character is independent. What does Zhou Min want to express? Or is it really just a casual anagram?

Xu Qi'an turned to look at Governor Zhang, the Governor was immersed in his own world...

No matter, these five characters are obviously not anagrams, so the governor's role is gone, let him go to compete with Wen Girl.

Afterwards, Xu Qi'an was also immersed in his own world: "If this is a clue Zhou Min wants to reveal to Lay Ziyang, then it will not be too esoteric and obscure, and it must be easily discovered by people who come to Yunzhou for the first time.

"What can be easily discovered by a newcomer? Another way of thinking, what is needed by a newcomer to Yunzhou"

I got it!

Xu Qi'an let out a long breath: "I have solved the mystery."
