Mei Guangtao recognized Li Qingyan at a glance and asked in confusion: "Aren't you Li Ji's friend? Why are you here?"

Li Qingyan bowed to him: "You report to the prefect Mei that the student is here to assist the prince in handling the case."

Mei Guangtao did not expect that an ordinary suicide case could alarm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and investigate it in person.

In addition to being stunned, he keenly noticed the unusual.

He had dealt with the prince and knew that the prince was not a simple person.

The prince must have had the exact evidence and knew that there was something strange about Li Ji's death, so he personally investigated and handled the case.

When Mei Guangtao thought of this, she felt that her hairline seemed to be moving backward again.

He couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Can't you calm down every day?

He didn't have many requirements, he just wanted to go to and from get off work normally.

Why can't even such a humble request satisfy him?

The prince said coldly: "Go and find out who took Li Ji's body? Li Ji's residence, where he has been to and who he has been with during this period, we must find out."

Mei Guangtao had no other way, so he could only swallow his pain and continue working overtime with his fate.

Under the instructions of the prince, Li Qingyan also joined the investigation.

Li Qingyan is a bold and meticulous person, and his brain is very useful. He extracted all the information about Li Ji in his memory, analyzed it one by one, and then confirmed it one by one.

With his assistance, Mei Guangtao checked all Li Ji's activity trajectory over the past half month in just one day.

Mei Guangtao yawned and dragged his exhausted body after working overtime all night to report to the prince.

"Li Ji is not at ease. In order to support his life, he usually helps people copy books and calculate accounts, so as to make some money to subsidize their family income."

"These are the list of people who have been in contact with him recently."

Mei Guangtao handed over a list.

"Weichen has asked someone to check it one by one according to the list, but no problems were found. This is a summary we compiled after the investigation."

He handed over another file.

Luo Qinghan finished reading all the content with one look at the last line, and his eyes remained on the last line of words.

The last place Li Ji visited before his death was Donglailou.

Donglailou is one of the most famous restaurants in Shengjing City. The consumption in that place is very high, and with Li Ji's wealth, it should not be possible to go to that kind of place.

Luo Qinghan asked: "What did Li Ji do when he went to Donglailou?"

Mei Guangtao answered truthfully: "The exam is about to be learned. There are more and more scholars gathering in Shengjing City. They are bored and they like to hold poetry and tea parties. That day, someone happened to have a poetry meeting in Donglailou. Li Ji got an invitation from somewhere. He went to Donglailou to attend the poetry meeting, but strangely, he hurriedly left before the poetry meeting ended."

These are all information provided by the shopkeepers and friends of Donglailou.

Luo Qinghan asked again: "Where did he go after he left Donglailou?"

Mei Guangtao: "He went back to his residence directly and never came out again after that. It was not until the next day that Li Qingyan reported to the official that we knew he was dead."

Luo Qinghan: "Who are participating in the poetry meeting?"

Mei Guangtao said embarrassedly: "This matter is not easy to investigate."

“Why?”

"The person who held the poetry meeting was Qin Wen."

Qin Wen is Qin Lie's son. It is said that he has good grades in the Imperial Academy. He is a famous young talent in Shengjing City. He also happens to take the exam this year.

If you want to check the poetry meeting, you must first pass the Qin Wen level.

But Qin Wen has been staying in the Qin family these two days, and he has not left the gate without leaving the two gates. People from Jingzhao Mansion come to find him, but they are sent away by the Qin family's butler without even seeing Qin Wen.

If it were an ordinary family, Jingzhao Mansion could forcefully take the person away in order to handle the case.

But the Qin family cannot do it.

Not to mention the small officials below, even Mei Guangtao, the top leader of Jingzhao Mansion, went to the Qin family personally, must be careful.

None of them dared to offend the Qin family.

Luo Qinghan asked expressionlessly: "What are you afraid of?"

Mei Guangtao smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Luo Qinghan turned to ask about another thing.

"Have you found the person who took Li Ji's body?"

Mei Guangtao: "Not yet."

Luo Qing looked at him coldly.

Mei Guangtao's scalp was numb by the sight. He didn't have much time since he saw the prince last time. Why is the prince's aura getting stronger and stronger? Now just a look makes people feel uneasy.

Mei Guangtao explained with a tough bullet: "The person who took the body away had done disguise, and his name and identity were all fake. To find him was like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"I don't care about these things, I just have to bear the consequences."

Mei Guangtao hurriedly said: "Weichen will definitely urge the people under his command to find the people as soon as possible!"

He lamented in his heart that it was over and he had to work overtime again!

After Luo Qinghan left Jingzhao Prefecture, he went directly to the Ministry of Justice.

Previously, Yulinwei found out the "Book of Changes" from the bookstore. The Cui family, as the owner of the bookstore, had been monitored by Yulinwei. As for the young master of the Cui family, he had been arrested by the people of the Ministry of Justice, and now he is being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

When Dong Mingchun, the Minister of Justice, learned that the prince was coming, he hurried out to greet him in person.

Luo Qinghan asked while walking into the Criminal Prison Department.

"How is that guy from Cui's family?"

Dong Mingchun reported truthfully: "According to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he specially locked up Young Master Cui in a single room. At first, he kept shouting that he had let him go out, but later he probably said he was tired and he was at peace."

"Take him out, and I will personally interrogate him."

"Here."

Luo Qinghan met Mr. Cui in the torture room.

Young Master Cui was originally stubborn and refused to say anything until the prince asked someone to punish him. Young Master Cui, who had been spoiled since childhood, was immediately scared and admitted his fear and shook everything he knew.

According to his confession, the Book of Changes, which contains the examination questions, was given by his father. As for where his father got the Book of Changes, Mr. Cui didn't know.

The reason why he sells exam questions is for money.

The Cui family has been getting harder and harder in recent years, and the industries accumulated by their ancestors have almost been ruined. They have only two paths next--

Or they will be completely defeated and become ordinary people.

Or take risks and find ways to make money.

The Cui family chose the latter.

They have become accustomed to living a life of luxury and food, and look down on the common people from the bottom of their hearts. It is better to let them die if they become humble common people.

The selling test questions are very risky, but the profit is also very considerable.

For the sake of money, the Cui family doesn't mind taking risks.
