Doctor, you are so cold

To fight outside, you must first be safe inside.

Only the Qi family can govern the country.

Yan Yunqi is very clear about these reasons.

For Ning Wuxin these past few months, he has driven himself into despair.

Although there is no promise yet, he always sees hope.

After Ning Wuxin settled down here, he finally found the feeling of solving the case.

Early the next morning, he asked someone to transfer all the evidence of the case from the yamen.

The seven people who raced with Wang Zhengxin are all at Dayue Pass, so it is best to investigate here.

Among the seven people who participated in the competition at that time, Wang Zhengxian and Wang Zhengran were also among them, No.4 and No.6 respectively.

Among the remaining five people, No.1 is the school lieutenant Liu Yiqing, No.2 is the deputy lieutenant Nan Yinxing, No.3 is Sijie Chen Liye, No.5 is the school lieutenant Peng Yue, and No.7 is the deputy lieutenant Sun Zhiyan .

Liu Yiqing, who ranked first, and Peng Yue, who ranked fifth, were detected by Yan Yunqi. They are currently the two people who have the final say in the barracks.

It wasn't long before physical evidence was delivered.

All physical evidence, including Wang Zhengxin's clothes, personal belongings, ten topographic maps and ten written descriptions.

Wang Zhengxin's clothes and belongings were burned, and a topographic map and a text description were also burned a little bit. The label stated that it belonged to Wang Zhengxin.

The corpse, of course, could not be seen.

However, since the death of the guard was of great importance, the inspection made at that time was quite meticulous, and the records were considered comprehensive.

Yan Yunqi had already seen these things, and had already made some assumptions.

Most importantly, he already had a suspect in his mind.

The question is, what about the evidence?

Yan Yunqi thought for a while, and asked someone to call over the people who were in charge of the competition at that time.

Not long after, six people filed into Yan Yunqi's tent.

Among these people, one is named Feng Qi, who is Si Jie, who is considered to be the planner in charge of the entire competition.

Among the other five people, three were soldiers and two were clerks.

Yan Yunqi said, "Tell me about the tasks you have assigned."

Feng Qi hurriedly explained everyone's tasks.

There are not too many people who can write in the army, so the task of the clerical staff is naturally to draw topographic maps and write explanations.

The other four are responsible for choosing the race location and setting the course.

The four selected the location half a month before the competition.

The entire journey is fifty miles long, with uphills, downhills, turns, and thorns, which can be said to be quite a test of skill.

Once the route was determined, two documents were brought there, and the route was drawn on a topographic map, and the route was written down.

"After the route is confirmed, have you told anyone?"

Feng Qi said, "Once the route is determined, we will naturally report it. The general and the other seven know the approximate location of the competition and what difficulties there are in the route."

Yan Yunqi nodded, "When was the road map drawn?"

A clerk hurriedly said, "I drew it five days before the competition. I drew ten pictures in total, eight for the generals and two for spare. I drew all the pictures."

"What about the text description?"

Another clerk said, "I wrote that all. There are also ten copies."

Yan Yunqi raised the evidence in his hand, "In other words, it's all here."

The two nodded quickly.

"After the route map is drawn, has anyone seen it beforehand?"

Feng Qi hurriedly said, "No. After the picture is finished, it will be sealed together with the text description in an envelope. The names of the generals and lieutenants are written on each envelope, and I will keep it. On the morning of the competition, we will be in front of the generals. Unpack the lieutenant's face and present it to them."

Yan Yunqi lowered his head and thought.

Then, he handed over the topographic map and the written description to the two clerks, "Is this all written by your own handwriting? Is there any possibility of forgery?"

Check the two documents, "It's all our own pen and ink, and it can't be wrong."

The two looked at each other for a while, and one of them said, "My lord, even after we opened the envelope on the morning of the competition, we took a rough look at it. The pictures and text descriptions inside each envelope were drawn by ourselves. Written in my own handwriting. As soon as the case happened that day, the government office came, and every picture and text description was handed in immediately."

Another said, "It really has nothing to do with pictures and text descriptions."

Yan Yunqi lowered his head again.

Whether it is related to the picture or not is not up to them.

It's up to you whether you believe what they say or not.

He said, "Okay, it's none of your business here. Stand by at any time."

The six people retreated quickly.

Ning Wuxin looked at him, "What are you doing now?"

Yan Yunqi thought for a while, "Find someone to talk to."

————————————————————————————————————————

After walking around Dayue Pass, Yan Yunqi finally asked what he needed to ask.

Among the seven, Liu Yiqing ranked second from the beginning.

Logically speaking, Wang Zhengxin should be right in front of him.

However, until the end, he never saw Wang Zhengxin.

In other words, Wang Zhengxin ran in front and disappeared.

Of course, the premise of this is that Liu Yiqing is telling the truth.

It is also possible that he caught up with Wang Zhengxin and killed him while no one was looking.

The confessions of several other people were basically the same, and they all said that no one had seen Wang Zhengxin.

All in all, Wang Zhengxin seemed to disappear suddenly, and after he died, he suddenly reappeared.

Peng Yue, Wang Zhengran, and Sun Zhiyan mentioned that their horses had some problems with their hooves today, and they couldn't run fast, especially Sun Zhiyan's horses, whose hooves were badly injured.

They suspect someone did it, but can't figure out why and who would do it.

Back in the account, Yan Yunqi carefully studied the road map and written instructions.

The text description is very simple, only a few numbers.

"After starting from the starting point, less than one mile away, you will see a small lake. After turning a big bend, after going forward for one mile, turn right to a small road. Follow the small road all the way downhill, and you can't turn to other roads , turn two big bends, and travel fifteen miles, and you will see a lake. Then follow the road all the way uphill, walk twenty miles, encounter thorns on the road, and then walk ten miles along the road, you can reach the pennant.”

(The author's classical Chinese is not good, and for the convenience of reading, the text description is written in vernacular. Please refer to the author's words to see "the original map", "the map that was burned" and "the text description that was burned" for more clarity the scene at that time.)

After watching it for a long time, Yan Yunqi felt that he understood.

He found Feng Qi and the two documents again, and asked a few questions carefully.

Feng Qi and the two documents thought for a long time, and finally remembered something.
