The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi asked: "Did you agree?"

Guo Qirui nodded and said, "I agree. The master is very kind to me on weekdays, so I will definitely help with this little thing. So I went to visit famous talents from all over the country and told the master where they lived one by one so that he could send someone to negotiate."

Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "Then why didn't you say these things last time in the Dali Temple?"

Guo Qirui's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. "The teacher said that this must be kept secret. Otherwise, if other students knew about it and accused us of cheating in the gathering, it would be counterproductive. So I... I didn't say it."

Chu Yunxi gritted her teeth and asked again, "Did you mark the doors of those talented men's rooms?"

"How did you know that, young lady?" Guo Qirui looked surprised. "I drew a small cross on the door of their residence, always in an inconspicuous place. Later I heard that several people died, all of whom were the ones I drew the cross on. At that time, I was a little nervous, but I wondered if it was a coincidence..."

There aren't so many coincidences in this world. Chu Yunxi was so angry that she almost laughed. She asked, "Is Yu Xinfei from your hometown?"

"Yes, you know this girl too? Yu Xinfei is my good friend, he is very talented, but he was delayed by something at home, so he didn't come to the capital with me. He wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he would be in the capital soon. I thought of his great talent, so I told the teacher to reserve a place for him. I want him to be famous at the elegant gathering first, which will also be good for his future."

"But your words are a death warrant that sends him to hell." Chu Yunxi said coldly. She was really angry at this man's stupidity. Of course, she didn't know if he was really stupid, but no matter what, it was because of him that so many people died.

When Guo Qirui heard what Chu Yunxi said, tears immediately fell. He cried, "I really don't know. I just want to help him. Girl, please believe me."

Chu Yunxi said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that if you really want to make amends, you have to cooperate with us and tell me which academy and which teacher it is."

Guo Qirui said hurriedly: "It's the Hongmeng Academy not far away. The Master Tan inside is about forty years old."

"Who is his master?" In fact, Chu Yunxi had some guesses. Mr. Tan's master was going to hold an elegant gathering, and He Yuanjun's father was also going to hold an elegant gathering. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Guo Qirui shook his head, "Master Tan didn't tell me this."

"Change your clothes and take us to find him." Chu Yunxi stood up and walked out the door.

After Guo Qirui waited for Chu Yunxi to leave, he quickly changed his clothes and came out, nodding and bowing to Chu Yunxi, saying, "Miss, please follow me."

Chu Yunxi and Zi Han followed Guo Qirui out of the inn, and Wen Rulan followed them in the dark. The three of them walked a short distance along the street, turned two corners, and saw Hongmeng Academy.

It was almost evening, Hongmeng Academy had closed its doors, and all the students had gone home. Chu Yunxi motioned for Guo Qirui to go up and knock on the door, so he started knocking on it, shouting, "Master Tan, it's me, open the door."

After knocking for a long time without anyone responding, Chu Yunxi asked, "Could he have gone out?"

Guo Qirui said doubtfully, "It shouldn't be like this. I used to come here often at this time. Mr. Tan lives in the academy. Now that the students have just finished school, he should be correcting essays in the academy."

Chu Yunxi had a feeling that something was wrong, so she signaled to Zi Han, who then flew up and jumped over the wall, opening the gate from the inside. Chu Yunxi and Guo Qirui walked in together. As soon as they stepped into the gate of the academy, Wen Rulan suddenly shouted, "Who is it?"

Then, two figures flashed across the roof like lightning. Chu Yunxi cried out inwardly that something was wrong and hurried inside. Guo Qirui pointed to a room on the north side of the yard and said, "Mr. Tan usually corrects essays there."

Zi Han walked quickly in front of Chu Yunxi and rushed into the open door. As soon as she entered the room, she stopped and turned back to Chu Yunxi and whispered, "Dead."

Chu Yunxi paused, and Guo Qirui also stopped, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who...who died?"

Chu Yunxi sighed, it was still too late, so she took out three shoe covers from the Liyue bracelet, handed a pair to Guo Qirui, and said, "Put them on your shoes."

He handed another pair to Zi Han and put on one himself before walking in. Guo Qirui shivered outside for a long time before he put on the shoe covers tremblingly and walked in.

There was a sandalwood table in the room, with a lot of white papers covered with words on it. I guess they were the essays handed in by students today. A man was lying on the table with an essay under his head, but it was soaked with blood.

As soon as Guo Qirui came in, he was so frightened that he sat down on the doorstep, his voice shaking like a sieve, "Yes... yes... Tan... Tan..."

"Is it Master Tan?" Chu Yunxi had already walked behind the table and saw the dead man's face clearly. His eyes were wide open, his arms were hanging under the table, his mouth was wide open, and he looked terrified. Chu Yunxi saw from the side that blood was still dripping from his neck, and realized that his throat had been cut.

After checking around and finding nothing special, Chu Yunxi lifted the dead man's head and leaned back on the chair. Sure enough, his neck was cut by a knife. The cut was very deep and almost cut off half of his neck. He should have died instantly, and the time of death was just when they knocked on the door.

It seems that Master Tan was silenced because they found out this. When Guo Qirui saw the bloody wound on Master Tan's neck, his eyes rolled back and he fainted out of fright.

Zi Han covered her face helplessly. How could this guy be so cowardly? What should she do? Should she carry him back?

Chu Yunxi didn't care about Guo Qirui. She carefully examined the body of Master Tan. The murder weapon should be a long sword. The murderer should be in a hurry, so he used such heavy hands. Wen Rulan was always there when they were in the inn just now. No one should have overheard her conversation with Guo Qirui. The other party must have discovered them after they left the inn.

The murderer is killing people continuously in order to cover up the truth. The person behind this is probably crazy and must be caught as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows how many more people will die at his hands. Chu Yunxi began to investigate the scene again. The scene was in good order. It can be seen that Mr. Tan should be an organized person in his daily life. He keeps everything in order, even the articles piled on the table are neatly arranged.
