Chapter 164: Chess players, step by step

Mu Nan came to the place where the books were stored, and his fingers passed by them one by one. Xuan Zhengsi's book room was very empty. Except for a table in the middle, there were four walls, and the books were stored in the wall.

These books are divided into information from certain people, and there are also case studies in the capital. Xuan Zhengshi is not an intelligence agency after all, and even if it has its own intelligence personnel, it cannot be compared with Tianshuyuan at all.

The big and small events that happened in Jiang Kingdom, even those worth recording in other courts, and even some miscellaneous trivial matters, are recorded in Tianshu Court, which is a truly observer of intelligence agencies in most of the human world.

Among all the dynasties in the world, the Tianshu Academy of Jiang Kingdom is the most peak existence in the intelligence agencies.

No one knows what the information storage place of Tianshu Courtyard is like, but the Xuan Zhengsi's bookroom also looks extraordinary. The four walls are hollowed out. According to the book classification, there are special devices that can be transported out. On the surface, the wall surface also has rectangular notches, and wooden signs are hung next to it, indicating the book classification and number.

The corners of the four walls are also inlaid with lamps, but the light is darker and the atmosphere in the book room is very strange as the candlelight sways.

Xu Hexian looked at the rabbit-faced mask and said softly: "When Li Mengzhou attacked Zhang Chong, a deputy general of the military headquarters on the night street because of a girl in Wenrou Township. Before Dan Tai Jing was assassinated outside Jialan Temple, although Li Mengzhou often appeared in Wenrou Township, no one could guarantee whether he was really in Wenrou Township when Dan Tai Jing was assassinated."

"Combined with the former, it is normal for Wenrou Township to help him conceal his whereabouts. Now Zhu Zaitian is killed in his home. Although all the evidence points to Lu Changge, the person who exposed the murderer was Li Mengzhou. This is no longer a coincidence, but a bit deliberate."

Mu Nan frowned slightly and said, "Shou Shi thought that Li Mengzhou thief called to catch the thief? He killed Zhu Zaitian, but he deliberately pointed the finger at Lu Changge, but why did he choose Lu Changge?"

Xu Hexian smiled and said, "It's not that Li Mengzhou insisted on choosing Lu Changge, but that he could only choose Lu Changge. On the surface, they did not have any grudges, and some were just grudges from their respective mountains, but on the five-story building, Lu Changge lost to Li Mengzhou."

"For young people, especially those with smaller minds, they are obviously stronger but lose to people who are weaker than them. Then it seems reasonable for Lu Changge to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Li Mengzhou."

"But the turning point of the matter should be that Lu Changge failed to successfully take revenge on Li Mengzhou, but instead he discovered it. Then Li Mengzhou used the trick and framed Zhu Zaitian's death on Lu Changge. This is also reasonable."

Mu Nan said: "What Sishou said is indeed very reasonable, but the key question is, why did Li Mengzhou kill Zhu Zaitian?"

He agreed with Xu Hexian's inference. After all, the intersection between Li Mengzhou and Lu Changge was there. Apart from the grudge between the mountain gate, there was only five floors left. But the premise for this incident was Zhu Zaitian's death.

Could it be that Li Mengzhou discovered that Lu Changge wanted to take revenge on him, so he went directly to kill Zhu Zaitianlai to frame Lu Changge?

Even so, why did Li Mengzhou choose Zhu Zaitian?

Baihu Lane in the inner city is not close to Chaosi Lane in the outer city. It is definitely not something you can pass by by just a coincidence. It must be carefully considered and specially chosen.

Mu Nan didn't know that Zhu Zaitian had an arbitrarily appointed to invite Wang Zhong's assistant minister to intercept Li Mengzhou outside the city, which resulted in Wang Zhong's death. Regarding this matter, Xu Hexian's explanation was that Wang Zhong died unexpectedly while performing a certain task.

The minister of Xuan Zhengsi will also go out of the city to do business. Xuan Zhengsi's responsibility is the entire Jiang Kingdom, not just the capital city, which is just the most important place.

Under the premise that Mu Nan was not aware of this matter, it was just because Zhu Zaitian had arrested Li Mengzhou on the street that he had not succeeded in the end, and it seemed that Li Mengzhou wanted to kill Zhu Zaitian.

Mu Nan was a little confused.

Of course he couldn't imagine that Li Mengzhou was just looking for the wrong person, so he made the mistake, but there was also the idea that Zhu Zaitian once wanted to kill him and solved the hidden dangers.

Xu Hexian's speculation is basically the same as the facts, but some details do not feel clear, but he did not care about these things. Instead, he looked at Mu Nan and said in a deep voice: "With Zhu Zaitian's strength of being close to the top level of the fourth realm, even ten Lu Changges do not have the ability to kill him. Li Mengzhou did not even cross the threshold of the fourth realm. Even if he has the record of defeating the enemy across the border, he is far from qualified."

"But if Gu Shiyan is around Li Mengzhou's side, the situation will completely reverse, and Zhu Zaitian will only have a dead end no matter what he does."

Mu Nan pondered for a moment, grinned and said, "Thinking about this, Li Mengzhou is indeed more suspicious than Lu Changge. And if all this was his plan, if the Sishou had not been paying attention to him for a long time, he might have completely removed himself."

He still had a vague appreciation for Li Mengzhou. If Xu Hexian had not done a lot of investigations on Li Mengzhou, if it were ordinary people, he would have never thought so much.

Even if Mu Nan had some doubts about Li Mengzhou, he would not be able to do anything to Li Mengzhou without providing evidence.

Suspicion is doubt after all, and everything depends on the evidence. At present, in terms of evidence, it is extremely unfavorable to Lu Changge, and Li Mengzhou is the smallest.

Although it cannot be said that being able to control the situation to such a level is perfect, it is also a very powerful method. A brave and resourceful person is naturally much better than a reckless man.

No matter how high a person's cultivation level is, if he has no brains, he is likely to capsize in the gutter. If he has a little brain, he will at least not be defeated too badly.

If Mu Nan's usual style, when there is insufficient evidence and he is particularly suspicious of a person, the most effective way is to directly catch him and torture him for confession. He only needs to be satisfied with the result.

But Li Mengzhou is a disciple of Ligong Jianyuan and a disciple of the inner court, so he cannot be arrested casually. Once the case of coexistence between court officials and practitioners and the identity of the practitioner is extraordinary, it is undoubtedly the most troublesome thing.

In ordinary cases, we need to rely on evidence to speak. If we want to arrest a practitioner with an identity, we need more sufficient evidence.

The current situation is that Xu Hexian and Mu Nan can both confirm in their hearts that the murderer was Li Mengzhou, but due to the lack of evidence, they could only stare at him.

Of course, they can also get rid of Lu Changge's suspicion, overturn all the evidence, conduct a new round of investigation, and turn the direction to Li Mengzhou. The final real murderer will still be unable to escape the French Open.

But Xu Hexian also has his own considerations.

Li Mengzhou is a disciple of Ligong Sword Academy and a spy of Tianshu Academy. At the same time, he also suspected that Li Mengzhou and Buer Cave were related. In his original intention, of course, he hoped to take the opportunity to kill Li Mengzhou. However, under the protection of Ligong Sword Academy and Tianshu Academy, before there is no direct evidence to prove that Li Mengzhou is the murderer, once he acts rashly, the result will only be the same as last time.

This is a very detrimental thing to Xu Hexian thinks.

This situation is not the best time to kill Li Mengzhou.

He had used it once to directly arrest Li Mengzhou and imprison him in Xuanzhengsi. Before taking action by Li Gong Jianyuan and Tianshuyuan, he asked Li Mengzhou to confess his guilt first, but unfortunately he failed that time.

The problems we are facing now are the same as last time, and they are all due to insufficient evidence, and even this time it is even worse. The evidence points completely to Lu Changge. He cannot catch Li Mengzhou just because of suspicion. This will only make Li Gong Jianyuan and Tianshuyuan understand that he is deliberately targeting Li Mengzhou, which will cause unexpected trouble.

Li Mengzhou bet on this bet is actually Xu Hexian's attitude. If Xu Hexian insists on arresting him without any consequences, then Li Mengzhou can only admit that he is unlucky, but it does not mean that he will really face a death challenge. In the final analysis, it is still his identity.

The only thing that is troublesome is that even if Li Mengzhou doesn't die, he will face imprisonment.

So when Xu Hexian did not have absolute confidence, no matter what his attitude was, it was difficult to kill Li Mengzhou directly.

Then the choice Xu Hexian made was the answer Li Mengzhou wanted.

Mu Nan looked at Xu Hexian at this moment and said meaningfully: "Now I have to see what the attitude is there."

In terms of evidence, it is not enough to deal with Li Mengzhou, but what he said to Xie Chunfeng in Bulushan also planted the seeds that provoked the dispute between Li Gong Jianyuan and Bulushan.

Of course, Xu Hexian's words were instructed. If you just watched Li Mengzhou watching the show next to you and was completely out of the matter, it would also be something that made Xu Hexian feel very angry.

Li Mengzhou killed Zhu Zaitian and stood directly in front of him to point out Lu Changge, just holding a cat to play with a mouse. Xu Hexian hated mouse very much.

Xu Hexian is happy to see that without deliberately targeting Li Mengzhou, causing some trouble for Ligong Sword Court.

He picked up the rabbit-faced mask, looked carefully, and said calmly: "When young people play chess, most of them will only see the surface. He does not feel that he is gradually falling into the trap of a veteran."

Mu Nan looked at Xu Hexian's face that was invisible to see his emotions and remained silent.

Many things have happened in the capital recently. Although Tianshu Yuan was threatened by monks outside the mountain due to a temporary failure of supervision, the death of the court officials made Xuan Zhengshi much busier than usual.

There is a river in Tianshu Courtyard.

But Xuan Zhengsi also has Xu Hexian.

Even at some point, Xu Hexian is much more dangerous than Jiang Tingyu.
