……
Afterwards, Su Nan and Nangong Qianrou returned to the post station, and the prefect sent a carriage to return all of Zhou Min's belongings.
After the two returned to the post station, Tang Yinluo and the others also returned.
They went to the outskirts of the city and examined Zhou Min's body.
Everyone had a faint stench.
This must be a tough job.
“Lord Nangong, I have examined Zhou Min’s body and there are no external injuries.”
"It can be basically concluded that his death was the work of the Witch God Cult."
"..."
Su Nan and the others had previously speculated about the cause of Zhou Min's death.
Since the Qi faction colluded with the Witch God Cult, it is highly likely that the person who killed Zhou Min was a member of the Witch God Cult.
The fourth rank of the Witch God Cult is the Dream Witch, who can kill people in their dreams, causing them to die silently.
This is consistent with Zhou Min's death.
With the investigation conducted by Tang Yinluo and others, Zhou Min's death can be basically confirmed.
"Examine Zhou Min's belongings."
Su Nan immediately ordered people to examine the Zhou Min relics that had been brought back.
Immediately, a group of people gonging and playing the gong went through Zhou Min's belongings, searching for clues.
More than two hours later, the group stopped searching.
Nothing was found!
Even Governor Zhang came to inquire.
"What have you discovered?" Governor Zhang asked, his brow furrowed.
The night watchmen shook their heads.
Su Nan looked at Nangong Qianrou and asked, "Zhou Min is the night watchman's mole. Don't you night watchmen have any secret communication signals?"
Tang Yinluo shook his head and sighed, "I've looked everywhere, but it doesn't match up."
"Could it have already been taken or destroyed by the murderer? All that's left for us are some useless junk," another silver gong speculated.
A bunch of useless trash...
Governor Zhang felt somewhat irritated upon hearing these words.
He was originally an imperial censor and was unfamiliar with criminal cases.
But these night watchmen didn't seem to be very capable.
Hope lies in southern Jiangsu.
Governor Zhang then looked at Su Nan and asked, "What does Su Shi, the banished immortal, think?"
Su Nan put down the wine gourd and frowned, saying, "I'm more inclined to believe that Zhou Min didn't use the night watchman's signal."
He looked at Nangong Qianrou and asked, "Is the code of the night watchman's office kept secret?"
"Those above the silver gong level all know this, and those at the bronze gong level who have been in contact with the mole also know it."
"That means it wasn't kept secret enough."
Su Nan said calmly.
"Zhou Min, a veteran of twenty years, is thoughtful and experienced. He would not use a code that is not high enough in terms of security."
"So in my opinion, he did not use the communication code of the night watchman's office, but used another method to hide the evidence."
"Now we need to find it." (Extract group 97563&2410)
After a moment's thought, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
The pile of relics before us may seem disparate, but there is actually only one possibility.
Zhou Min used other methods to hide the evidence.
Governor Zhang agreed with Su Nan's view, then frowned and asked, "Then how can we find the evidence that Zhou Min is hiding?"
Everyone turned to look at Su Nan.
Everyone was well aware of their own abilities, and right now they could only rely on Su Nan to find clues about Zhou Min's hidden evidence.
"We can think about the problem in the same way as Zhou Min."
"He did not use the secret signal of the night watchman's office because the security level of that signal was not high enough."
"But if you hide the evidence in a place where no one can find it, then the act of hiding the evidence loses its meaning."
“Zhou Min hid the evidence itself so that it could be found. Therefore, the object containing the evidence and clues must not be valuable, because it would be very likely to be confiscated by the government officials.”
"But in order for us to find this thing, it must be very conspicuous."
"..."
Su Nan's words opened everyone's minds, and everyone excitedly started thinking, their eyes scanning the pile of relics in front of them.
But soon, a look of confusion appeared on everyone's faces.
"But among Zhou Min's belongings, there was nothing particularly conspicuous, and nothing related to the jade pendant!"
A gong-wielding man sighed.
There are far too few clues. If Zhou Min really tries to hide the evidence in other ways, it will be extremely difficult to find.
"Does Su Zhexian have any other ideas, or any guesses about that object? That would make our search easier!"
A silver gong looked towards Su Nan and asked.
However, Nangong Qianrou snapped, "Shut up."
Because she noticed that Su Nan was deep in thought, his expression extremely focused.
It seems he's thought of something.
Nangong Qianrou didn't want the words of her foolish subordinates to interrupt Su Nan's thoughts!
A jade pendant?!
Governor Zhang also gestured for everyone to quiet down.
Right now, only the people of southern Jiangsu can turn the tide.
"Jade pendant..."
Su Nan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the jade pendant!"
He couldn't help but smile with delight.
Seeing Su Nan's joyful laughter, everyone smiled and eagerly asked, "Has the Immortal Su already discovered a clue?!"
"But the jade pendant that Yang Yingying handed over is related to Zhou Min's belongings?!"
Everyone was both delighted and incredibly curious!
What clues did Su Nan discover?
They were all eager to know.
"No, you're mistaken."
"Yang Yingying's jade pendant and Zhou Min's belongings have nothing to do with each other."
Su Nan's words left everyone with question marks on their faces.
It's...it's nothing?!
What were you laughing at just now...?
"What do you mean by Su Zhexian's words?" Governor Zhang frowned slightly.
Given Su Nan's expression, he must have gained something.
Nangong Qianrou was also curious about the answer.
Although she was a judge, she was not good at solving cases, but rather skilled at interrogation.
So this kind of mentally taxing task is really difficult for her.
Facing the anxious and eager gazes of the crowd, Su Nan calmly said, "Let's consider this issue from Zhou Min's perspective."
Are there any clues among these relics?
"If we were Zhou Min, and we wanted to leave a clue for the night watchman, would we leave it in his belongings?"
“I don’t think so, because the risk is too great. A single fire would be enough to burn all the relics to ashes and destroy the clues he left behind.”
"Therefore, I am certain that Zhou Min will never put all his eggs in one basket."
"..."
Everyone perked up upon hearing this!
Su Nan's analysis was indeed very reasonable; Zhou Min, as an experienced undercover agent, would not have overlooked these points.
"But... what does this have to do with Yang Yingying and the jade pendant?"
"Could there be a hidden secret within that jade pendant?"
A flash of inspiration struck Nangong Qianrou, and she felt that she had grasped the key to the problem!
"Yang Yingying was an unexpected bonus during our trip to Yunzhou."
"She is just another basket where Zhou Min puts his eggs!"
"But... the jade pendant is just a smokescreen; Yang Yingying herself is the key!"
Su Nan chuckled softly.
Upon hearing this, many people looked puzzled.
