【Three more supplements】

When listening to the story, the most unbearable part is probably the most exciting part, but suddenly there is no text.

This kind of behavior is put on hold in modern times and is called 'out of context dog'.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have such a statement, the audience who had just listened to half of the reasoning and were stopped outside the Wenxin Pavilion were the same itching and insatiable desire.

Although no one dared to attack the cordon set up by the yamen, various complaints came one after another.

There are even more gangsters inside, shouting slogans such as 'My father is Li Gang, the head of the Ministry of Justice', 'My father is Li Erjiang, a member of the military department', and 'My brother is Li Zongrui, the secretary of the Jiaofang Division'. let go.

Not to mention the chaos below.

But he said that after Sun Shaozong entered the door, he asked the room where the deceased was, and let the shop assistant lead him up to the third floor.

Lin Delu had been waiting at the entrance of the stairs for a long time, while sloping his shoulders flatteringly, he led Sun Shaozong to the deceased's room, while reporting: "Sir, the deceased's name is Su Kunmao, from the capital, and the 126th high school this time. "

"In addition, there are a total of 72 people living in the inn. Because during the autumn season, the guest rooms are charged according to the number of occupants, so the guests live alone, and there are no servants to serve."

Because there were always some poor scholars in the past, in order to get a taste of the senior's style, they collectively pooled their wallets and set up a guest room, and then a dozen or even dozens of people spread dry food on the floor.

The inn near the Gongyuan was too much trouble, so I set the rule of charging per person during the autumn season.

"Don't worry about others."

Sun Shaozong stopped, stretched out his hand and swiped from east to west, and ordered, "Call all the guests in these guest rooms, and remember to ask them to bring the round table in the room with them."

The third floor of Wenxin Pavilion is a standard L-shape, with a north-south corridor and an east-west corridor respectively.

The stairs are located at the southern end of the north-south corridor, while the east-west corridor is connected to the northern end of the north-south corridor.

As for Su Maokun's room, it is located at the end of the east-west corridor, which is also the most suitable room for a bird's-eye view of the Gongyuan in the entire Wenxin Pavilion.

As for Sun Shaozong's drawing, it covered nearly a dozen guest rooms in the entire east-west corridor.

"Let them bring the round table over here?"

Lin Delu said in amazement: "Sir, why is this?"

"Because the round table is the most important physical evidence in this case, remember, they must be brought in by themselves!"

Sun Shaozong said nonsense with a blushing face, and then Shi Shiran walked into Su Maokun's room.

This room is not very spacious, and it is divided into two inner and outer rooms by a wooden lattice, which makes it even more cramped. It is estimated that if it is not for some 'wenqi' bonus, Su Maokun may not be able to live in such a place.

On the round table in the center of the outer room, there is a table of remnants. There are four wine glasses, but the dishes have not been touched.

Seeing him staring at the wine table, Lin Delu hurriedly explained: "After Su Maokun held it in the middle, he immediately set up a table and invited some familiar classmates over to celebrate, but he didn't have a few drinks, so he put the three of them together. After a bit of sarcasm, the banquet naturally broke up."

"Among those three people, does anyone live in the corridor of this thing?"

"One of them lives diagonally opposite, and his name seems to be... Liu Xianglian!"

Liu Xianglian

I really don't know how his parents came up with this girly name.

During the conversation, the seven guests who lived in the east and west corridors carried the tables to the door one after another.

There was only a creamy boy with a face like powder and picturesque eyebrows, holding the table with one hand, and he didn't feel any reluctance at all.

Sun Shaozong's gaze stopped on the man for a while, and he bowed alertly and said, "Student Liu Xianglian, I have seen the tour envoy."

It really matches the name!

But looking at this meaning, it seems that he has martial arts.

Sun Shaozong was a little more suspicious of him, but he still commanded with a blank face: "You raise the table higher, so that this official can take a look."

Except for Liu Xianglian, most of these people were weak scholars. Even if they obediently exerted their strength to suckle, only two of them succeeded in raising the folding round table above their heads.

Sun Shaozong first walked up to the four losers and observed it carefully, and then waved his hands until the faces of the others were pale, "You four step aside first."

Then he turned to the other three and asked, "You three, tell me what you were doing when the crime happened?"

Liu Xianglian was the first to say: "If you go back to the adults, the students broke up because they had an unhappy quarrel with Su Kunmao. After returning, they drank two pots of suffocating wine and sang some ditties for fun."

Generally, even if he is not a murderer, he is reluctant to reveal information that is unfavorable to him, but this Liu Xianglian did not hide the conflict with Su Kunmao at all.

This made Sun Shaozong take another look at him.

"Go back to the words of the adults."

The second person said with a face full of frustration: "Because the student fell out of the list, so he hid in the room and was sad. He didn't do anything special."

"grown ups."

The third person said triumphantly, "The student was lucky enough to be lucky. At that time, he was writing a letter to his family in the room, so that he could tell the good news to his father who was working in Zhizhou."

"So, neither of you have been drinking?"

After Sun Shaozong listened, he immediately ordered: "Come here, give me a good sniff, and see if these two have alcohol on their hands!"

The fallen scholar was a little puzzled, but the man in Zhongju changed his expression and hurriedly defended: "Sir, what do you mean? I did drink a few cups outside, but what does this have to do with Su Kunmao's death? "

"Is it?"

Sun Shaozong said with a sneer: "Then open your mouth and let out a few breaths, and let my yamen take a sniff—you are both a researcher of ink and a family letter, and the smell of alcohol in your hand has never dissipated, and the smell of alcohol in your mouth always smells. Shouldn't it be gone first?"

The new imperial examiner panicked even more, but still tried his best to argue: "Even if this is the case, what can it prove? We can't just say that I killed Su Kunmao for such a ridiculous reason?!"

"That alone is not enough, but you are showing more than a little bit."

Sun Shaozong continued with a sneer: "First of all, I asked the shop assistant when I went upstairs. Before and after the incident, he was cleaning near the entrance of the stairs, and he didn't see anyone entering or exiting the east-west corridor, so the murderer must be among the seven of you."

"Secondly, in order to create the illusion that the deceased was drunk and fell out of the window, the murderer sprinkled some alcohol on the collar of the corpse—probably because of his hurry, some of the alcohol spilled on the handle of the pot, which naturally also wet the murderer. hand."

As Sun Shaozong said that, he picked up the jug, revealing the slightly reflective water stains on the handle of the jug.

Then he pointed to the window of the room and said, "Furthermore, the height of the window here is nearly four feet. It takes a lot of effort to throw the slightly fat dead person out, and I just passed my test..."

"grown ups!"

The new Imperial Examiner hurriedly interrupted Sun Shaozong's inference, pointed at Liu Xianglian and said, "Isn't he also in line with these three criteria? And he is so strong, it's easy to throw Su Kunmao away!"

"I did doubt him at first."

Sun Shaozong said: "However, in his testimony just now, there is one sentence that is enough to prove his innocence."

The new Imperial Examiner immediately roared again: "Which sentence? Why didn't I hear it? Besides, he clearly didn't say anything special!"

This is still a product that will not die until the Yellow River.

A little helpless, Sun Shaozong walked to the wooden wall, tapped lightly with his fingers, and said, "The guest rooms here have all been remodeled, and the wooden walls added at the back have poor sound insulation. If someone sings a ditty in the room, you say Will it spread to the next door?"

"Yup!"

As soon as Sun Shaozong finished speaking, a scholar who had been excluded before suddenly said: "I did hear Brother Liu singing a ditty next door, and he seemed to be..."

A person next to him said, "It's "The Story of the West Chamber", and the lyrics are still sung by Cui Yingying!"

"look."

Sun Shaozong threw his hands at the new Imperial Examiner: "Now you are the only one who meets all the suspect conditions."
