The First Criminal Judge of the Zhenguan Era

Chapter 103 The clues have gone cold? No! This is the breakthrough!

Chen Wu dared not hide the truth and hurriedly said, "Master drank quite a bit of wine and is a little drunk, so after the banquet, I helped Master back to his room to rest."

"that's it?"

Liu Shuyi stared at him intently: "After you helped Doctor Wan back to his room, Doctor Wan fell asleep?"

"No."

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "After returning to his room, Master felt a headache and couldn't sleep, so he asked me to go to the kitchen to make a hangover soup."

"I quickly prepared the hangover soup and brought it to you, sir. After drinking it, your head didn't hurt as much, but you still couldn't fall asleep."

Liu Shuyi nodded, "That's right."

If Wan Rong, like Zhang Xu, slept until dawn, then there would be a problem.

"And then?" Liu Shuyi asked. "What did Wan Langzhong do after he lost his sleepiness?"

Chen Wu said, "Check the books and files."

"The master has a habit that if he can't sleep, he won't waste time in bed. So, seeing that he wasn't sleepy, he got up, put on his clothes, took out his books and files, and checked them carefully to avoid making mistakes in official business."

Wan Rong was indeed a very responsible person. Liu Shuyi nodded slightly: "Where was he checking the books and files?"

Chen Wu pointed to the table in the outer room and said, "It's right here..."

How was he sitting?

"Huh?" Chen Wu didn't expect Liu Shuyi to ask such detailed questions, but he still said, "He was sitting upright at the table with his back to the window."

Liu Shuyi stroked his chin, nodded, and continued, "He just kept checking the books and files and didn't go out? Did anyone come looking for him during that time?"

Chen Wu said, "Before I left, you were sitting at your desk handling official business and never left. No one came looking for you either."

"Before leaving?"

Liu Shuyi raised an eyebrow and said, "You left before your master went to sleep?"

"Yes."

Chen Wu nodded: "I stayed with you until around midnight. When you saw that I was tired, you said that you were no longer feeling unwell and that you would fall asleep at any time. You told me that I didn't have to stay up with you, so I went to rest."

Liu Shuyi tapped the table lightly with his fingertip and said, "Before you went back to rest, did your master show any unusual behavior? Was his mood strange?"

Chen Wu thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

Chen Wu served Wan Rong every day, so he must have been very sensitive to Wan Rong's emotional changes. His statement that there was no such thing was enough to prove that Wan Rong had not yet obtained the important secret of the illegitimate son of the Prince of Xi before midnight.

"When you saw Dr. Wan the next morning, was he acting strangely?"

"This..." Chen Wu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Although the master did not show it very obviously, I could feel that the master was in a bad mood and his mood was very heavy. But since the master did not say it, I did not dare to ask. I do not know what the master is worried about and why he is so heavy-hearted."

Liu Shuyi nodded; Chen Wu's words were consistent with his own speculation.

It seems that Wan Rong obtained the information about the illegitimate son of the Prince of Xi within the three and a half hours between midnight and 4:45 a.m. the next day.

The time span has been reduced from six and a half hours to three and a half hours, but it's still not enough.

"When you left, did you notice any candlelight in the other rooms? Were any people still awake?" Liu Shuyi asked again.

Chen Wu shook his head: "When I left, everyone was resting, only the master's room was still lit."

"The next morning, your husband fell ill, and other people came to visit him. At that time, did your husband react unusually to anyone?"

Liu Shuyi looked at Chen Wu and said, "For example, when you see someone, do you frown more than usual, showing a resistance to contact, or do you have more contact with someone than usual, or are you more affectionate towards that person?"

Upon hearing this, Du Gou's heart stirred, and he quickly understood Liu Shuyi's meaning.

The two different reactions represent the thief and the murderer, respectively.

Wan Rong learned the secret from the thief and must hate the thief to death. He definitely cannot treat the thief as usual.

As for the murderer... Wan Rong trusted him so much and was even willing to leave with him. The two must have had a secret agreement. If the murderer had also contacted Wan Rong at that time, Wan Rong's reaction would definitely have been different.

He stared intently at Chen Wu, perhaps because of this, the thief and the murderer would be revealed.

However, to Du Gou's disappointment, Chen Wu thought for a long time after hearing Liu Shuyi's words, but finally shook his head: "I have not noticed anyone that you are being special to, sir."

"Or……"

He carefully considered his words and said, "The master was in a bad mood at the time, and his attitude towards everyone was colder than usual. Only when facing Prefect Zhang could he still smile a little."

Du Gou frowned. It was normal for him to smile at Zhang Xu, after all, Zhang Xu was the host of this place and had even specially invited a doctor for Wan Rong. If Wan Rong still had a sour face towards Zhang Xu, it would be too impolite and too ignorant of human relationships.

But since he was indifferent to everyone else, there was no way to determine who the thief was.

In the end, it didn't help them at all.

Du Gou sighed inwardly and looked at Liu Shuyi.

However, Liu Shuyi showed no sign of frustration or disappointment, as if he had expected what Chen Wu had said.

At this moment, Liu Shuyi looked up at Du Ying, and without him saying a word, Du Ying poured him another glass of water.

Liu Shuyi took the water glass, gently swirled it, and watched the ripples spread across the surface. He said, "You've been in the patrol team for a while now, so you must know the members of the team quite well. If you had to choose one person you find strange and who might have problems, who would you choose?"

"what?"

Chen Wu was taken aback, not expecting Liu Shuyi to ask such a question.

"This..." he hesitated.

Liu Shuyi leaned forward slightly, his dark, deep eyes fixed on him, and said, "Don't be nervous, just say whoever comes to mind."

Chen Wu pursed his lips, frowned, and thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "I didn't find anyone strange. Everyone was doing their job, no one was shirking their duties, and no one was overly enthusiastic or indifferent, so..."

Seeing Chen Wu's furrowed brows and his hands clenched tightly in distress, Liu Shuyi said, "Alright! I understand what you mean. These are my questions. Go and rest now. If you have any further questions, I will call you again."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he turned and left.

Watching Chen Wu's retreating figure, Du Gou asked, "How was it?"

Liu Shuyi took a sip of water, his gaze deep, and said, "I've made some progress, but it still needs to be verified... Let's ask others."

With that, he put down his water glass, stood up, and walked outside.

"Who's next to ask?" Du Gou asked.

Liu Shuyi raised his hand and pointed to the left: "Next door, ask whoever lives here."

…………

Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door.

crunch--

As the door opened, Liu Shuyi discovered that the person living in the room on the left side of Wanrong's house was the Censor Ding Feng.

"Imperial Censor Ding, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Liu Shuyi cupped his hands in greeting.

Ding Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "Having suddenly learned of what happened to Master Wan, how could I possibly be in the mood for rest? If Master Liu doesn't come soon, I'm even thinking of asking someone to inquire when he will arrive."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to let Liu Shuyi and the others into the room.

Liu Shuyi glanced at it briefly and saw that Ding Feng's room was the same as Wan Rong's room, indicating that they were built according to the same standard.

He sat down and said, "Since Imperial Censor Ding is so concerned about the matter of Doctor Wan, let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

Ding Feng nodded: "Okay."

"What did Imperial Censor Ding do after the banquet that evening?"

"I am not a good drinker; even a little alcohol makes me dizzy. So I went back to my room to rest after the banquet that evening."

Liu Shuyi said, "You went back to your room and went to sleep?"

"Yes."

Did you wake up during the journey?

"He did wake up once."

"Oh?"

Liu Shuyi looked at him: "When? And why did you wake up?"

"I don't know when it happened. It was pitch black outside, and I didn't hear the watchman's voice. As for why I woke up..." he said somewhat embarrassedly, "My stomach was churning, so I went to the outhouse and threw up."

"Go to the outhouse..." Liu Shuyi said, "I wonder if there was still a candle lit in Dr. Wan's room when Imperial Censor Ding left?"

"It's on."

Ding Feng nodded: "I felt terrible in my stomach when I went out, and I was also dizzy, so I didn't pay attention. But when I came back after vomiting, the candles in Wan Langzhong's room were indeed lit."

"Did you go see Master Wan?"

"No." Ding Feng shook his head: "I don't know what time it was. I was afraid the candle would be lit. I just forgot to blow out the candle when Dr. Wan was resting. I was worried about disturbing Dr. Wan's rest, so I didn't go to see him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuyi astutely grasped a key point and said, "You mean... when you came back, you didn't see Wan Langzhong's shadow on the window paper of Wan Langzhong's room?"

“That’s right. Although the lights were on in Wan Langzhong’s room, I didn’t see anyone.”

Upon hearing this, Du Gou's pupils dilated, and he abruptly looked at Liu Shuyi.

Then Liu Shuyi's lips curled up slightly: "The turning point has finally arrived!"

Du Gou nodded emphatically, a hint of joy on his face.

When Liu Shuyi questioned Chen Wu earlier, he specifically asked Wan Rong where he was sitting that night while handling official business.

Chen Wu said that Wan Rong was sitting upright with his back to the window.

To illuminate the files and books, a candle must be placed in front of him, so Wan Rong's shadow would inevitably be projected onto the window paper.

However, Ding Feng said that he did not see Wan Rong's figure on the window paper.

This can only mean that Wan Rong either left the room or had already gone to sleep.

However, the candles in Wan Rong's room hadn't burned out completely; a significant amount remained, indicating that the candles hadn't burned all night...

In other words, Wan Rong didn't just fall asleep without blowing out the candles.

It's highly likely that he happened to leave the room at that time!
So he must have obtained the secret of the illegitimate son of the Prince of Xi at that time!

At this moment, Du Gou understood why Liu Shuyi had asked Chen Wu such detailed questions. It seemed that Liu Shuyi had already considered that if someone went to the outhouse in the middle of the night, they might notice Wan Rong's shadow.

He couldn't help but admire Liu Shuyi's keenness and control over details when investigating cases, which was truly something he could learn from.

Liu Shuyi straightened his back slightly, his eyes becoming more serious as he looked at Ding Feng, and asked, "Besides Wan Langzhong's room, were there candles in the other rooms at that time?"

"No."

Ding Feng shook his head: "The other rooms are all dark."

"When you went to the outhouse, did you hear any noise? Like footsteps or very faint conversations?"

"This……"

Ding Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No... but my mind was foggy at the time, so maybe, but I didn't notice."

"Drunkenness leads to trouble..." Liu Shuyi thought for a moment and continued, "What did you do during the two days that Doctor Wan was pretending to be sick?"

"I didn't do much. I went out for a walk on the first day and read books all day on the second day."

"Wandered? Where did you wander off to?"

"It's right here in Shangzhou City. This is my first time here, and I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come again. I'm free since I don't have any missions to do, so I thought I'd take a walk and have a look around."

Liu Shuyi nodded: "Can I take a look at the books you're reading?"

"of course."

Ding Feng cooperated readily, going directly to the dressing table next to the bed and picking up the book placed on it.

Liu Shuyi took the book, looked up, and then his eyes flashed.

This is a copy of the Tao Te Ching.

The book's cover and page size are exactly the same as the copy of the Tao Te Ching that his elder brother Liu Shuzhong left him.

The only difference was that the book Liu Shuzhong left him was brand new, without any signs of having been turned.

This book has been read countless times and is filled with dense reading notes.

Liu Shuyi said, "Is Imperial Censor Ding very fond of the Tao Te Ching?"

Ding Feng nodded: "The Tao Te Ching encapsulates the wisdom of living in the world, and reading it is very beneficial."

Liu Shuyi thought for a moment and said, "Can I borrow this book to take a look?"

Ding Feng was somewhat surprised, but still said, "Of course, as long as you don't mind that this book is worn out from being read so many times, and my interpretation is so shallow."

Liu Shuyi laughed heartily: "Imperial Censor Ding is too modest. Although I only flipped through two pages, I think Imperial Censor Ding's interpretation is excellent and gives me a refreshing feeling." Ding Feng heard Liu Shuyi's praise, and even though he knew that Liu Shuyi might only be speaking out of politeness, he couldn't help but feel happy.

As a scholar, and a rather pure-hearted one at that, nothing pleases him more than others recognizing his abilities.

"If you like it, Mr. Liu, you may take your time to read it. I have brought other books with me, so there is no rush to take it back."

Liu Shuyi cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you very much, Imperial Censor Ding."

He borrowed Ding Feng's book not because he discovered anything unusual.

Instead, he wanted to study the Tao Te Ching carefully and compare it with the version left to him by Liu Shuzhong to see if there were any differences.

Liu Shuzhong must have had a purpose in specifically asking the restaurant owner to hand over the Tao Te Ching to him, but even now, he has not been able to decipher the secret of that book.

This time, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could learn from others' experiences.

After carefully putting away Ding Feng's copy of the Tao Te Ching, Liu Shuyi finally asked, "If you were to let Imperial Censor Ding choose someone from the inspection team who might have problems, or someone you feel is unusual, who would you choose?"

"This……"

Ding Feng frowned deeply. He hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Please forgive me, Mr. Liu. I do not have the habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs. Moreover, I have not found anyone to be problematic. Everyone in the inspection team is conscientious and diligent. I only appreciate and approve of them and have no other thoughts."

Seeing Ding Feng's serious expression, and his nervousness at the thought of offending him or interfering with his investigation, Liu Shuyi smiled and said, "Imperial Censor Ding, you don't need to think too much. What you said is also an answer to me. Moreover, I greatly admire Imperial Censor Ding's character. There are many villains in this world and few gentlemen. It is extremely rare for Imperial Censor Ding to be able to stick to his principles even at this time."

Ding Feng was overwhelmed by Liu Shuyi's seemingly endless praise, and he said with a embarrassed expression, "I'm afraid I can't help you, sir..."

Liu Shuyi smiled and shook his head: "You've already helped me a lot."

"All right."

He stood up and said, "I have a general understanding of the situation. Imperial Censor Ding, please get some rest. If there is any news about the murderer, I will send someone to inform you immediately."

After saying this, he left the room with Du Gou and Du Ying.

Upon entering the cold and empty courtyard, Du Gou looked at Liu Shuyi and said, "Now we can finally confirm that Wan Langzhong did indeed leave the room that night. He must have obtained the secret of the illegitimate son of the Prince of Xi at that time. However, we cannot determine when he left, where he went, or from whom he learned the secret."

Du Ying's pretty brows furrowed slightly. This was indeed a problem. There had been gains, but the gains were incomplete, leaving her stuck in the middle, unable to move forward or backward, which made her not too happy.

Liu Shuyi looked up at the star-studded night sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "As for the time, there is a way to roughly estimate it."

"How do we estimate it?" The two looked at Liu Shuyi.

Then Liu Shuyi said, "The burning speed of a candle is constant, so we can ask Chen Wu how long the candle was when he left, find another candle of the same thickness, cut it to the length it was when he left, and then light it."

"Calculate how long the candle burns to match the height of the remaining candle in the room..."

"In this way, we can know when Dr. Wan went to sleep, and thus indirectly know the time range of when Dr. Wan went out."

Du Gou's face lit up with surprise: "That's right, how come I didn't think of using candles to indirectly estimate?"

Liu Shuyi smiled and said, "However, there is another possibility: that Wan Langzhong did not leave while handling official business, but rather took a nap first and then left."

“In this situation, using candles to estimate time is inaccurate.”

"But if that's the case, and there's a lantern outside the door, if Wan Langzhong, like Imperial Censor Ding, went out for some reason, there's really no need to light a candle. The light from the lantern would be enough for him to get dressed and go out. So it's more likely that he left while handling official business."

Du Gou nodded and said, "I'll send someone to inquire with Chen Wu and then fetch candles to conduct the experiment."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Shuyi to nod, he went to find the Imperial Guards and instructed them on what to do next.

Seeing Du Gou's anxious expression, Liu Shuyi smiled knowingly. He knew all too well that Du Gou's urgency was for his own sake; he wanted to help him relieve the pressure and find clues as soon as possible.

Not long after, Du Gou returned: "Everything has been arranged. The Imperial Guards will help us determine the burning time of the candles."

Liu Shuyi nodded. Such a small matter could be left to the trustworthy Jinwu Guards; there was no need for them to personally oversee it.

"Let's go."

He glanced at Ding Feng's room, where the candlelight had gone out, and walked toward the adjacent room on the other side of Wan Rong's house. As expected, he figured this should be the room of Ren Cheng, the Dali Sizhi.

The same knocking procedure, the same efficient entry into the room.

Looking at Ren Cheng, who was even more composed than Ding Feng, Liu Shuyi said, "Director Ren, I won't waste any more words. Let's get straight to the point."

Ren Cheng stroked his beard and said, "I understand the procedures. If you have any questions, please speak up."

"What did Director Ren do after the banquet?"

"I had drunk quite a bit at the time. After I got back, I quickly washed up and went to bed."

"Did you get up and go outside at any point during the journey?"

"No, I slept soundly until dawn."

"Sleeping very soundly?"

"Yes."

Liu Shuyi frowned. Ren Cheng's answer was destined to give him little useful clues.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What did Director Ren do during the two days that Doctor Wan was feigning illness?"

"I didn't do much, just read books here, reviewed the results of the inspection, and made sure that I wouldn't make any mistakes in my official duties."

"You haven't left the governor's mansion?"

"No."

Liu Shuyi stroked his chin: "On the morning that Dr. Wan feigned illness, did Director Ren feel that Dr. Wan's attitude towards you was bad?"

"This……"

Ren Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wan Langzhong is indeed a bit distant, unlike a few days ago, but at the time I thought it was because he was sick, so I didn't think much of it."

Liu Shuyi stared intently at Ren Cheng: "Director Ren, why do you think Dr. Wan is so distant from you?"

Ren Cheng frowned and shook his head: "I can't guess, and I can't figure out the reason. He shouldn't have changed his attitude so drastically after just one night."

"If you were to ask Director Ren to name someone in your inspection team who might be problematic or unusual, I wonder who he would name?"

Ren Cheng lowered his head and pondered for a while before finally saying, "Should I tell the truth?"

"of course."

"No."

He looked at Liu Shuyi and said, "I can't find fault with anyone in the inspection team."

Du Gou frowned subconsciously as he listened to these answers.

Although Ren Cheng cooperated, his answer was actually of no use whatsoever.

They are far inferior to Chen Wu and Ding Feng.

However, Liu Shuyi's expression did not change at all. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Director Ren. That's all for now. If I have any new questions, I will bother you again, Director Ren."

After saying that, he left Ren Cheng's room with Du Gou and Du Ying.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Du Gou said, "Could the person with the problem be Ren Sizhi? His answer was not helpful at all, and it felt to me that he was deliberately hiding something."

Liu Shuyi did not answer Du Gou immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying, "Du Sicheng and Ren Sizhi are both colleagues in the Court of Judicial Review. You know him best. Do you think his reaction just now was different from when he was in the Court of Judicial Review?"

"This……"

Du Gou frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "There's no difference."

Liu Shuyi said, "His reaction was no different from usual, and I had been watching him the whole time, but I didn't notice any of the subtle reactions or movements that one would make when lying."

"This suggests that either he is cunning enough to control his subconscious physical reactions, or he truly knows nothing."

Du Gou rubbed his forehead and sighed, "If others were like him, knowing nothing when asked, then this case probably wouldn't go as smoothly as we've hoped."

Liu Shuyi wasn't too discouraged by this. Investigating cases is never an easy task; encountering setbacks and frequently losing leads is commonplace.

Not to mention, Ren Cheng wasn't without clues.

Often, even useless answers can represent something.

"Let's go."

Liu Shuyi didn't give Du Gou a chance to be discouraged, saying, "Hurry up and question a few more people. If their answers are all similar, have the Imperial Guards help with the questioning..."

Thus, Liu Shuyi and the Du siblings, Du Gou and Du Ying, questioned three clerks and two guards, and their answers were the same as Ren Cheng's.

They all slept through the night and knew nothing about what happened that night.

During the two days that Wan Rong disappeared, he, like Ren Cheng, rested at the governor's mansion.

Liu Shuyi did not obtain any new clues. Seeing that the sky was beginning to brighten, Liu Shuyi ordered the Imperial Guards to continue questioning the others, while he, Du Gou, and Du Ying took a short rest.

Zhao Feng's hurried return startled the three people who were taking a nap at the table.

"Sir, something terrible has happened!"

Hearing Zhao Feng's unusual tone, the three who were still somewhat confused suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Liu Shuyi looked at Zhao Feng and asked, "What happened?"

Du Gou and Du Ying also looked at Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng said, "Didn't the Assistant Minister ask me to investigate whether Master Wan had purchased any horses? I first went to the horse shop in the west of the city, woke up the shopkeeper, showed him Master Wan's portrait, and asked him if Master Wan had come to his shop to buy horses two days ago."

"After looking at it for a long time, the shopkeeper said he had never seen Wan Langzhong. He said that only two people had rented horses in the past two days, and the horses had already been returned, so it could be confirmed that it was not Wan Langzhong."

"After that, I rushed to the horse stable in the east of the city, but before I even arrived, I discovered..."

He took a deep breath, looked at Liu Shuyi, and said, "We discovered that the horse track in the east of the city was flooded and burning with flames."

"What!?"

Du Gou's expression changed: "Fire?"

Liu Shuyi's eyes flashed, and he quickly asked, "Was it an accident or deliberate? What about the manager of this horse trading company? Is he still alive?"

Zhao Feng unconsciously clenched his fists and said, "When I saw the horse stable on fire, I immediately woke up the surrounding people and asked them to help put out the fire."

"With the help of the people and the officials, the fire was extinguished in about 15 minutes."

"Then I immediately rushed into the horse stable, but the result was..."

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "The shopkeeper is dead, but he wasn't burned to death."

Liu Shuyi's pupils dilated: "Killed?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Feng said, "He has obvious wounds on his body, and his throat has been cut."

"But I don't know exactly when he died."

Upon hearing this, Du Ying immediately stood up: "Where is the corpse?"

"It has already been taken to the governor's office and is being placed in the morgue."

"I'm going to perform an autopsy."

Du Ying picked up the black wooden box and said to Liu Shuyi, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to bring you all the information that was on the corpse."

After saying that, she quickly left.

Liu Shuyi asked Zhao Feng, "Is the manager the only one in the horse trading company? Is there no one else?"

Yes, it was just him.

"Have you found the horse rental and sales records book?"

Zhao Feng shook his head: "A lot of papers were burned, and the shopkeeper's room was ransacked. I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find any books."

Du Gou couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the murderer was afraid we would find him through the shopkeeper, so he killed him to silence us and try to cut off our leads?"

Zhao Feng pursed his lips tightly: "Judging from the condition of the innkeeper's room, this is very likely."

Du Gou looked at Liu Shuyi with a solemn expression: "The murderer acted before us, which means that, as you predicted, he did leave with Wan Langzhong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to kill to silence him! Moreover, he must be in Shangzhou City right now, otherwise he couldn't have acted so quickly!"

"And he is very likely watching us from behind, keeping a close eye on all our actions."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng felt a chill run down his spine, as if a venomous snake was staring at him from behind, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He couldn't help but look at Liu Shuyi: "Sir, this... the manager is dead, and the horse shop's rental and sales books are also missing. How are we going to find him?"

Liu Shuyi's expression flickered, and just as he was about to say something, he heard another series of hurried footsteps.

"We're back!" Along with the sound of footsteps came Cheng Chumo's loud voice.

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Shuyi raised an eyebrow. He looked at Zhao Feng and smiled, "Don't rush. There's more than just Ma Xing as a way to find the murderer. Look, a new clue is on the way..."

　This case involves too many people, and the design is different from previous cases, so it can be a bit confusing. I've sped up my writing to finish the process of searching for clues, but these testimonies are necessary foreshadowing and foreshadowing, so I have to keep you waiting a little longer.

　　However, the clue-finding phase is almost over, and the mystery will be revealed starting tomorrow or the day after. There are only a few chapters left before the case is closed.
