Chapter 186: Old, not many real chapters
The short man, who looked a little old, looked like an honest man as he looked at the prince with a simple smile.
【You thought it was "honest people don't talk much." 】
[It actually means “When people get old, they don’t tell the truth much.”]
[Congratulations, Prince, the murderer has been caught! ]
The prince, who was carried away the whole time, raised the corner of his mouth, then quickly suppressed it and asked the man.
"Are you the manager here?"
"What is your name?"
He asked casually, as if he had no doubts at all.
"My humble name is Old Sheep."
"I am indeed the steward here. What do you want to see me about, Your Highness?"
Lao Yang nodded obediently, his eyes fixed on the corpse covered with white cloth, his eyes cold.
"Has any student disappeared in this dormitory in the past four months?"
When a person dies without any news, it means that he has disappeared without any reason to the outside world. But it has been several months, it is impossible that no one has noticed.
"Your Highness, no students have been reported missing, but a few left the academy at the end of last year."
"If you want a list, I'll get it for you."
The old sheep tried to leave but was held down by someone.
"No need, someone has sent the list over."
The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man with a kind appearance came over. He was wearing simple clothes, but he had an extraordinary aura.
This is the dean of Baitong Academy, Wen Bufan.
After the body was dug out, he sent people to find Wen Bufan.
"Your Highness, this is the list you requested."
There are several names written on it, and the date of leaving the academy is clearly written for each one.
After looking at the specific time and comparing it, the prince circled the names of three people.
"You two, do you have any impression of these three people?"
The prince asked Gu Cheng and Xiang Yuanliang.
"know."
"These two entered the academy with me, but... their talents are a little shallow and they can't keep up with the academy teachers' courses."
"So these two agreed to leave the academy together at the end of last year."
"As for this..."
As Gu Cheng spoke, he looked at the last name and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Oh, what's there to hide? Cui Rui is a liar. He used someone else's identity to enroll in school. He was afraid of being exposed, so he ran away."
When Dean Wen Bufan heard this, his eyebrows twitched.
"It was my dereliction of duty."
Just as Wen Bufan was about to apologize, he saw the prince waving his hand, indicating that there was no need to do so.
Just from what I heard, these three people all left "safely".
Could it be that this corpse is not someone from the academy?
[Why don't you check how Cui Rui got the quota? ]
The quota was not obtained by himself, so he must have used some dirty means to enter the academy.
"Do you know whose identity Cui Rui is replacing?"
The prince asked again and asked someone to take him to the house where Cui Rui had stayed before.
"It was a student named Yu Buwan. After we found out that Cui Rui was suspicious, we tried to find Yu Buwan, but unfortunately we were too late."
"He died of illness."
Wen Bufan recalled.
In the entrance examination, Yu Buwan's results were average.
After learning that the other person had passed away, I just felt a little bit of regret.
[He didn't die of illness, he was murdered to silence the witnesses. 】
In Mu Yue's arms, Ji Qionghua participated in the topic very actively.
Unfortunately, there were only two people at the scene who could hear these words.
The prince's expression remained unchanged as he walked into Cui Rui's room.
As the new round of enrollment has not yet begun, this house is temporarily vacant.
All of Cui Rui's things were cleared out, leaving only simple ornaments.
After the prince looked around the place, he signaled the guards to check.
The old sheep who followed was very calm, as if he knew that it was impossible to find any evidence against him here.
No emotion could be seen on the face of the prince who had been observing Lao Yang.
This old sheep is thoughtful and calm enough after committing the crime.
[There is evidence.]
Because of Qiong Huaer's words, the prince personally joined in the search for evidence.
He had seen many secret compartments and based on his experience, he continued searching the house.
There were footsteps behind me, it was the little guy.
She followed behind him, clacking steps with her short legs, so cute.
"oops."
After Ji Qionghua rushed forward, he lost his balance and fell, rolling under the bed.
"Wow!"
When the little princess cried, the prince quickly pulled her out. He saw that the little girl, who was rubbing her eyes, was holding a package-like object in her other hand.
The prince shook the things open and found several letters inside.
It clearly records how Cui Rui hooked up with Lao Yang, and how Lao Yang transferred Yu Buwan's quota to Cui Rui.
Lao Yang has been working in the academy for many years and is considered a minor manager.
After the admissions list came out last year, Lao Yang took the initiative to copy the list and post it.
This is how Yu Buwan's name was replaced by Cui Rui.
He was afraid of being discovered if he did too much, so he only did it once.
After the private deal was reached, Cui Rui was admitted to the school.
But Lao Yang was always hungry, so he used this incident to threaten Cui Rui for money.
Cui Rui came to the academy with the intention of using his status as a student of Baitong Academy to seek benefits for himself, but he flatly refused and even threatened to report the matter to the dean.
The old sheep has become "obedient".
The above records the general course of events.
In order to avoid suspicion, the two communicated privately through letters.
【Cui Rui is a liar who thinks highly of himself. 】
[He used the evidence against Lao Yang to threaten him, thinking he had won.]
[But he didn't know that the old sheep wanted to kill him.]
[Lao Yang found him privately and pretended to tell Cui Rui that he had a guilty conscience and wanted to surrender to the dean, and asked Cui Rui to come with him.]
[Cui Rui was afraid that he would be punished if the matter was exposed, so he left the academy on the grounds that he had limited ability.]
[Not long after Cui Rui submitted her application for resignation, the truth was exposed. It was Lao Yang who took the initiative to spread the news, letting the others know Cui Rui's true identity.]
【It’s the students’ annual holiday again. 】
[Cui Rui was unwilling to give up and wanted to find Lao Yang to get back the money he had used to buy the quota. Lao Yang was well prepared and killed him with a single blow.]
[He also used his position as a manager to say that Xiang Yuanliang's house needed to be repaired, and used this as an excuse to hide the body inside.]
【It was sheer bad luck that this guy was chosen. 】
[As for this piece of evidence, it was a backup plan that Cui Rui left before he left.]
[He didn't want Old Sheep to have an easy time, so he left evidence, hoping that students who would live here in the future would be able to find the evidence and expose Old Sheep.]
Come to think of it, these two people have successfully plotted against each other.
Lao Yang didn't expect that Cui Rui would leave the evidence here before leaving.
He thought he had done it perfectly.
In fact, when those letters were taken out, Lao Yang knew that he was finished.
He took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him and was about to run out, but the guards reacted quickly and kicked him to the ground.
This time, Xiao Xuzi borrowed the smelly socks of others to shut up Lao Yang who was trying to defend himself.
Faced with everyone's strange looks, little Xuzi smiled shyly.
【Sock Man. 】
This matter was clear, but what the prince couldn't understand was Yu Buwan's death.
When the government officials arrived, they brought with them the case file about Yu Buwan.
