After hearing Zhu Zhuzhi's words, Yang Shen said, "That's true. Reasoning alone is not enough to solve this case. Brother Zhu has no reason to poison Brother Zhu, and there is no evidence."
Butler Bai also nodded, "Your reasoning sounds very reasonable, but there is no evidence, and there must be a reason for killing, right? You can't just jump to conclusions just to solve the case."
Knowing that Mr. Su had arrived, Yun Pan also relaxed completely, stood up gracefully and said, "Speaking of reasons, let's talk about the second case."
"What do you mean? Could it be that Master Jin was also killed by Zhu Zhuzhi?" Liang Su reacted immediately and jumped away from Zhu Zhuzhi as if scared.
"Actually, when Jin Dan was murdered, we were also very surprised. If Jin Dan was related to the case, Zhu Zhuzhi could have killed him in advance. There was no need to wait until people from the Ministry of Punishment came to the academy before taking action. After all, this The risk has gone up too much.”
"If he has nothing to do with the case, why would Zhu Zhuzhi risk being suspected and testify against Jin Dan? Is it suicide to bite Jin Dan to death?"
"The only thing that changed was that Jin Dan and I had dinner and drinks that night, and we mentioned a lot of things about Zhu Kexin. It was these things that drove Jin Dan to a dead end."
Yun Pan paused and asked Zhu Zhuzhi: "I asked the old woman at Zhu Kexin's house. All Zhu Kexin's pen, ink and paper were taken away by his classmates, saying they were to keep in mind."
Zhu Zhuzhi nodded calmly and said: "I did ask the boys at home to pick up a few pieces and keep them in mind."
Yun Pan added: "But I asked your book boy, what do you mean by asking him to burn all these writings?"
"Sir, I wanted to leave a souvenir at that time, but I found out later that he died for me. I felt sad and missed people when I saw things, so I let them be burned again." Zhu Zhuzhi said calmly. : "Besides, I don't know why Sir is holding on to this place. If we talk about pen and ink, there are various pen and ink by Brother Zhu in the academy."
Everyone agreed when they heard it, and Butler Bai on the side also said: "Zhu Kexin's homework for all subjects is here, and there are a lot of pens, inks and papers. You can check it out."
Yun Pan chuckled lightly and said: "Zhu Zhuzhi, you know that what Zhu Kexin left behind in the academy is something that Zhu Kexin can show to the world. You have made sure that all his things that cannot be shown to others have been burned, right?"
Zhu Zhuzhi smiled and said, "I don't understand what you are referring to?"
Yun Pan stopped talking to him, turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone must be confused by the interrogations I just carried out. I mentioned before that Jin Dan was talking to us at night, why did he suddenly mention the writing in Zhu Kexin's house? .”
"First of all, Jin Dan's death makes me feel strange."
"I said just now that the murderer must have overheard or seen Jin Dan that night and had some conclusive evidence proving that the murderer was related to Zhu Kexin's death, so he took the risk."
"An Lushi and I carefully recalled every word Jin Dan said that night. We found that two places have profound meaning."
"Jin Dan mentioned that Zhu Kexin can paint with both hands, and besides the calligraphy and paintings he gave us, there are also a lot of Zhu Kexin's pen and ink, which he can give us next time."
"What's so strange about these two things?" Yang Shen said anxiously, "Don't keep telling me off, I don't understand."
Liang Suze was surprised: "He can actually paint with both hands?"
An Ying stepped forward and opened a few paintings and said: "These are all Zhu Kexin's paintings that Master Jin found that night." He nodded to Yang Ye and Liang Su and said, "That night I passed by Liang Su and Yang Ye holding the paintings. It was scattered on the floor in front of my residence. I heard someone moving around at that time, but Liang Su said it was a wild cat."
Liang Su asked strangely: "Isn't that true?"
An Ying shook his head: "Afterwards, Xiaowei Yi and I went to check. They were traces of people walking by. Let's take a look at these paintings first."
Everyone gathered around to watch.
Most of the characters in the paintings were just line drawings, and they were all images of ladies. Yun Pan took a few paintings to show to Chief Liu Shan and Butler Bai.
Liu Shanchang nodded while looking at it: "These line drawings of characters are indeed good. The lines are clean and strong, and the inscriptions are all in Zhu Kexin's handwriting. He may really be a famous person in the future. It's a pity."
Yun Pan said: "You can pass it around to see if this painting of a beautiful lady looks familiar?"
Everyone looked at it for a long time, and someone shouted: "The face of this lady is obviously Brother Zhu himself!"
Only then did everyone react, and were surprised to see so many paintings, all of which were Zhu Kexin's own appearances as ladies.
Mr. Bai Deacon said while looking at it: "It is common to draw Guanyin with one's own face, but this picture of a lady is really rare."
Yun Pan smiled and asked someone to bring over some letters and notes. It was the same paper Mrs. Ge used to draw flowers on.
Yun Pan walked down the hall and said as he walked: "What can you see?"
"It's just some women's love affairs." Butler Bai looked through it. At this time, Yang Ye suddenly picked up one of the pieces of paper and compared it with Zhu Kexin's painting of a lady, and said, "It's strange. Although this handwriting is She looks like a woman, and her brushwork is delicate, but her style is indeed the same as Zhu Kexin's. Look at the hook of the word "I". Zhu Kexin always likes to exaggerate to the point of crossing. I have told him several times to pay attention to neatness. The inscription on this painting follows Forget about sex, if this is a scientific examination, it must not be written carelessly."
But Butler Bai disagreed and said, "You can't just look at one word. I see that this handwriting is very different from Zhu Kexin's."
Yang Shen and others gathered around to look at it and said in unison: "This is definitely not Brother Zhu's handwriting."
Yun Pan pointed to a few places and said: "These notes were taken from Mrs. Ge, who lives next door to Zhu Kexin. All the pen and ink in Zhu Kexin's own house have disappeared, and even the paper used for patterns by his mother-in-law has been collected. But fortunately, Mrs. Wang didn’t dare to say that she gave a lot to Mrs. Ge next door.”
Yun Pan turned to Zhu Zhuzhi and said, "I'm afraid you didn't expect this."
Zhu Zhuzhi was noncommittal.
At this time, Chief Liu Shan, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth and said, "Master Yu showed us so many handwritings, what do they mean?"
Liang Su was puzzled and said: "Senior Brother Yun, you are making me feel anxious."
Yun Pan picked up the piece of paper from Mrs. Ge and said: "When I first saw these handwritings, they were definitely not Zhu Kexin's notes. I thought Mrs. Ge mistakenly put something belonging to a young lady from the neighborhood into Zhu Kexin's daily life. In the pen and ink. I have always studied handwriting a lot, and I am extremely confident in this conclusion."
"Fortunately, the person who handled the errand was careful and was not confused by my words. Instead, he visited the area around the alley where Madam Ge and Zhu Kexin were. The situation is that the people living in this alley are all doing coolies, and no young lady from any family can Writing poems and paintings, and Mrs. Ge only took some paper from Zhu Kexin's house, so these things can only belong to Zhu Kexin. But why is it so different from his handwriting in the academy? "
"Then let's think about what Jin Dan said again."
Liang Su immediately reacted, picked up the piece of paper, looked at it, and exclaimed: "Zhu Kexin can write with his left hand. These are all written by his left hand."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Chief Liu Shan and Butler Bai were also shocked. They picked up the various pens and inks on the table and looked at them.
Yang Ye suddenly realized: "No wonder the handwriting is different, but the habits are still the same. That's why the way of writing the word "I" is so similar."
"That's right." Yun Pan looked at the chair where Jin Dan usually sat and said slowly: "Jin Dan must have seen Zhu Kexin writing and drawing with his left hand, so the murderer had to kill him."
