Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Solving the Mystery

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Solving the Mystery"Then let's analyze it from the beginning. If you were Zhou Min, how would you handle this matter?" Xu Qi'an looked around at everyone and asked.

"Use the code of the night watchman's office?"

"Didn't I just say that the confidentiality level of this code is not high enough?"

"If it were me, I would hide it where no one could find it."

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

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

Xu Qi'an snapped his fingers, looked at the gong that inadvertently revealed the mystery, and said: "That's right, Zhou Min hid the evidence in order to be found, to be found by us. Think about it again along this line of thought."

Governor Zhang clapped his fists, praised repeatedly, and said excitedly:

"That's the reason. Zhou Min would not hide the evidence where no one could find it. Then the object containing the clue would not be valuable, but very conspicuous."

All of a sudden, everyone's thoughts were opened, and they felt that they had touched the door to a new world. Excited to think.

A few minutes later, the night watchmen looked at each other blankly, "But, these objects have been checked. There is no secret code, and nothing that can match the jade pendant."

The door to the new world slammed shut, and they began to doubt their lives again. So everyone turned their attention to Xu Qiyan.

...There are too few pre-clinical clues, and there is no way to investigate. However, investigating a case is to find clues. A good criminal investigation expert is good at thinking from all angles and looking for clues from details.

And the rookie will only be like a child, with a head full of question marks...Xu Qiyan ignored everyone's gaze and immersed himself in his own world.

"Do you have any clues..." A silver gong couldn't help asking, but before he could say anything, he was sealed by Jiang Luzhong.

"Don't disturb him." Jiang Luzhong said in a deep voice.

Governor Zhang also pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be patient. He put all his bets on Xu Qiyan. This young copper gong proved his value and ability with his "achievements".

Governor Zhang couldn't help but wonder if the reason why Duke Wei sent Xu Qian'an was because he had anticipated the changes in Yunzhou.

It was precisely because he anticipated the difficulty of this case... that he sent Xu Qian'an, a genius in solving cases, to help this official... Duke Wei was indeed far-sighted and far- reaching.

"Correspondingly, the ingenious Duke Wei would send Xu Qian'an, which means he will definitely solve the case." Governor Zhang was secretly excited, and felt his mood suddenly relaxed and no longer so irritable.

He was born as an imperial censor, and it was really difficult for him to solve the case. Fortunately, there was Xu Ningyan...

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

Are there really clues in these relics? If I were Zhou Min, I would find a way to leave clues for the night watchman... but they might not be left in the relics, because they are too easy to destroy, and only a fire can turn them into ashes... but leaving no clues is not okay, so the safest way is to operate on two lines, and not put all the eggs in one basket.

Right!

Two-line operation, Yang Yingying is another basket for Zhou Min.

Yang Yingying is an unexpected gain, not a clue left by Zhou Min for the night watchman. Since no clues were found in Zhou Min's relics, why not try to break through from Yang Yingying.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiyan was refreshed and felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The silver gongs in the Refining God Realm keenly noticed Xu Qiyan's emotional changes, and they also refreshed their spirits. Just as they were about to ask questions, they found that Xu Qiyan's eyes were dark again and fell into deep thought again.

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

"It's the same problem. There are too few clues. It's just half a jade pendant. At most, we can guess that it is some kind of token... Re-sort the clues, exclude Zhou Min's other line, and focus on Yang Yingying's basket...

"If Yang Yingying goes to Qingzhou, finds Ziyang Jushi, and presents the jade pendant to explain the whole story..." Xu Qiyan simulated the process in his mind:

"What should Ziyang Jushi do? He will also face the same dilemma as me now: lack of clues.

"When you are confused and lack clues, you must find a way to get more information. So how to get information? Of course, ask the person who brought the jade pendant... Yes, yes, yes! Ask the person who brought the jade pendant."

"I thought of it, I thought of it!" Xu Qiyan said loudly.

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

"No hurry," Xu Qiyan 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 had stayed in the room after dinner.

Yang Yingying was still wearing the coarse cloth dress she wore when they first met, and she bowed: "Why did you call me downstairs?"

Xu Qiyan asked: "What else did Zhou Min say when he gave you the jade pendant that night?"

Yang Yingying shook her head: "Except for what I said before, Master Zhou didn't say anything else. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten it."

She called Zhou Min husband and Master Zhou at the same time, which was an extremely unconfident performance. She believed that Zhou Min was her husband, but she felt that she had no status and was not worthy of the name. Therefore, the name changed repeatedly.

Xu Qiyan stroked the teacup, there must be something else to say, otherwise even if Ziyang Jushi was a god, he would be helpless. Zhou Min was a senior hidden man, and his IQ was definitely online... Well, Yang Yingying didn't know, maybe she didn't notice it.

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

"This..." Yang Yingying said in embarrassment: "How can I remember..."

"You don't need to miss every word, just give a general idea." Xu Qian'an comforted him, and at the same time his heart sank slightly. The reason why Yang Yingying didn't remember it

was probably because they talked about trivial things that night.

Just like when you walk on the street and see all kinds of people, you won't remember their appearance, and even forget the color of their clothes as soon as you turn your head.

The more ordinary it is, the less you will remember it in your heart.

"That night, Mr. Zhou came to see me. As usual, he brought me some rouge and powder, small gifts, a pot of wine, and a few pounds of pork head meat...

"While drinking, he chatted with me about officialdom and the banditry in Yunzhou as usual...

"But because I am a woman, I don't like to hear these things, so Mr. Zhou didn't say much. Then it was a riddle...

"After dinner, when I served him, he told me about that incident and gave me half of the jade

pendant."

Xu Qi'an asked her to focus on "officialdom" and "banditry", but found that it was just Zhou

Min's complaint.

"What about the riddles? What are they?"

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

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

"That's right." Yang Yingying continued: "One lost in a thousand miles, one lost in a hundred

miles. "

Governor Zhang: "Uncle." Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

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

Governor Zhang: "Say."

"Governor, you are awesome." The night watchman and the Tiger Guards looked at him with

admiration.

For some reason, Governor Zhang felt proud, as if he was finally not useless. He was also a talented person, so how could he let Xu Ningyan stand out?

Guessing riddles is a common thing for scholars.

Xu Qian'an was dissatisfied with Governor Zhang for always interrupting him and interrupting his thoughts. He knocked on the table and said in a deep voice:

"Governor, I also have a riddle that has troubled me for a long time."

Governor Zhang nodded slightly, indicating that he should ask the question.

Xu Qian'an said, "Miss Wen is getting married. "

Governor Zhang frowned slightly, then frowned, then his face stiffened, and finally he was completely at a loss, standing there blankly.

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

"The last two riddles are: 'Flawless white jade' and 'Sun and moon in the same sky'. The former is the word 'Huang', and the latter is 'Ming'. "

Xu Qian'an asked his colleagues to find paper and pen, spread it on the table, and wrote: Si,

Bo, Gao, Huang, Ming.

Five big characters.

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

The five words cannot be linked together, each word is independent. What does Zhou Min

want to express? Or is it really just a riddle?

Xu Qian'an turned his head to look at Governor Zhang, the governor was immersed in his own

world...

Never mind, these five words are obviously not a riddle, so the governor's role is gone, let him compete with Miss Wen.

Then, Xu Qian'an was also immersed in his own world: "If this is the clue that Zhou Min wants

to reveal to Zi Yang, then it will not be too profound and obscure, and it must be something that people who come to Yunzhou for the first time can easily find.

"What is something that can be easily found when you first arrive? Change your thinking,

what is something that people who first come to Yunzhou need..."

I thought of it!

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