Chapter 21: Conscience
"Master, have you forgotten the Water Governor's Order?"
Zeng Anmin remained calm and looked into the teacher's eyes.
Water Supervisor's Order!!
As soon as these words came out, the teacher's scalp instantly went numb.
An electric shock-like feeling spread from the tailbone to the brain.
He looked at Zeng Anmin and was speechless for a moment.
"Water Governor's Order..."
The Master was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said with a complicated expression:
"If the murderer's target was the Water Governor...it does make sense logically."
In order to prevent theft, the academy's library of sages specially asked the experts from the Xuanzhen Division in the capital to set up a formation.
If you want to pass through this formation safely, you can only use the Water Supervisor's Order as the key.
But due to the limitations of the formation, it's impossible to tailor a unique Water Supervisor Order to each individual...
Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as you have the Water Governor's Order, you can enter the Holy Treasury at any time.
But Zhang Lun is a student of Shuidu Academy!
Who could have expected that someone would take such a huge risk and kill someone for a Water Governor's Order!
This is tantamount to a slap in the face of all the teachers and students of Shuidu Academy.
He even smeared a pile of dog shit on the dean's face.
…
Zeng Anmin looked at the corpse.
He noticed a detail.
There was an unfinished pattern next to the corpse...
Although there are only a few strokes, they can be seen very clearly.
That is the logo of Xuan Jingsi.
“This sign…”
Zeng Anmin frowned.
He could deduce the murderer's portrait based on the clues, but with only this sign, he was temporarily unable to understand Zhang Lun's intention.
Could it be that the murderer is from Xuan Jingsi?
This idea was quickly denied by Zeng Anmin.
The difference in status is too great, there is no connection at all.
"Zhang Lun was a man of high character, having never committed any crime. He must have been unwilling to accept his fate at the hands of a thief. He drew this mark before his death, perhaps hoping that justice would prevail, that the Xuanjing Division would solve the case as soon as possible, and that he would have a clear conscience."
When the Master saw the sign and Zhang Lun's eyes that were still open, he felt a sudden pain in his heart and spoke in a hoarse voice.
This explanation makes sense.
Zeng Anmin nodded thoughtfully.
The Master's face was filled with sorrow, and he bowed deeply to Wang Daoyuan beside him.
"Patrolman Wang, please bring the thieves to justice!"
"Master, please forgive me, I will do my best!"
Wang Daoyuan was flattered to see the Master bowing, and he quickly helped him up.
Then I felt a little bitter in my heart.
Originally, it was thought to be just a vendetta, but who would have thought that after Zeng Anmin's analysis, it would instantly rise to the level of reputation of the Water Governor Academy?
He could foresee how much pressure the Water Governor's Academy would put on the government if the case could not be solved...
"What we need to do now is to search the entire city. As long as we can find the Water Governor's Order, we can follow the clues and find the murderer."
The Master looked at Wang Daoyuan in a deep voice and continued, "If you have any difficulties, I still have some respect with Commander Wang of the Xuanjing Division!"
Wang Daoyuan's eyes lit up. If he could have a relationship with Commander Wang, it would make things easier for him and others.
"No need to bother."
Zeng Anmin spoke lightly.
Um?
Wang Daoyuan and the teacher both looked at Zeng Anmin at the same time.
"It's only been two days since Zhang Lun received the Water Governor's Order. Apart from the students in the academy, this news will definitely not be spread to the outside world."
Zeng Anmin's eyes fell on Wang Daoyuan and the teacher:
"Besides, Brother Tongyu is not the type to show off. He won't tell anyone about this except those close to him."
"So, what we need to do now is to investigate from two directions."
“Which two directions??”
Wang Daoyuan stared at Zeng Anmin blankly and asked subconsciously.
"First, check with Brother Tongyu's close friends to see if he has mentioned this matter to them."
"Secondly, it's the students in the academy."
Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed with brilliance:
"The focus of the investigation is on those students who are guarded by warriors."
Point out the theme!
With just a few words, Zeng Anmin turned this extremely difficult unsolved case into an ordinary case with traces to follow.
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Daoyuan's eyes lit up.
He himself was a captain of the Xuan Jing Division.
Naturally, he also has a certain foundation in handling cases and investigating crimes.
Although he would not be able to put these clues together as clearly as Zeng Anmin.
But it's just a matter of time. He will be able to figure it out in a few days.
Then, Wang Daoyuan suddenly turned around and looked at the Master and said:
"That's it! I still need the Master's help right now."
The Master narrowed his eyes slightly. He first looked at Zeng Anmin deeply, then nodded and said in a deep voice:
"If that's the case, I will personally ask the dean to come out and ask for his conscience."
"Thank you, Master!" Wang Daoyuan bowed directly.
In the Confucian and Taoist tradition, after reaching the middle third level, one will experience an effect similar to "a wake-up call".
With great righteousness, he shouted at people,
People who are not familiar with the matter will reveal all their mistakes like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
The higher the level of Confucianism and Taoism, the more profound this skill will be.
If Dean Qin Shoucheng could take action, this case would become much simpler.
"Okay!" Zeng Anmin nodded slowly.
…
"I haven't told anyone close to me about the Water Governor's Order."
In the college dormitory.
Zeng Anmin listened to Wang Daoyuan's report without saying anything.
He just tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
Wang Daoyuan was a little at a loss for a moment. He rubbed his hands and glanced around.
The young master of the governor's family studied in the academy under an assumed name.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
"Um."
Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head and said, "Then it depends on the dean's conscience."
…
Time passed quickly.
A total of 136 students from the Shuidu Academy were gathered on a lawn.
Everyone looked up at the old man standing on the platform.
The old man was wearing a long gown and had a gloomy look in his eyes.
He held a ruler in his withered hand and looked at the students one by one.
It was the dean of Shuidu Academy, Air Force Number One in the fairy world, Qin Shoucheng.
Now almost all the students have received the news of Zhang Lun’s death.
Everyone was whispering below.
"quiet!"
Qin Shoucheng didn't know what method he used, but when he opened his mouth, it was like thunder.
The whole audience fell silent.
"I'm sure you all know what happened."
Qin Shoucheng's face was gloomy, and he slowly walked down from the platform.
Yes.
Everyone knows.
And now there is a situation where everyone is in danger.
Zhang Lun’s death also reflects a problem from the side.
The Water Governor's College doesn't seem to be as safe as the legend says.
And this just touched the bottom line of the college.
Therefore, Qin Shoucheng had a rage in his heart that he had nowhere to vent. He continued expressionlessly:
"All of you must cooperate with me to find the murderer."
"If anyone resists, they will be guilty of the same crime as the murderer!"
No one spoke.
Such a terrible thing also made the students feel united in their hatred of the enemy.
Someone even stood up first and said loudly to Qin Shoucheng:
"Find the murderer and restore order to Brother Tongyu!"
“Find the murderer!!”
Everyone shouted loudly.
…
It’s great to see so many students so passionate.
Qin Shoucheng's expression lightened up a little.
