In the evening, the whole village was called to the backyard of the ancestral hall.

Teacher Tang and Zhang Xiaoxian also came out together, of course, how could they be missing from such an important moment?

There are really not many people in this village, I probably saw no more than a hundred people, and they are all some old people, and the youngest is fifty or sixty.

"Patriarch, please let people confirm whether they are really here first. "This is very important, I said that the murderer is among them, and everyone in the natural village must have it.

The patriarch asked two of the elders to confirm again and again that all but Elder Tang had not arrived.

"Excuse me, please ask Elder Tang!" said the patriarch.

The person who went to invite Elder Tang hadn't walked a few steps before Elder Tang himself came over, and I looked at him with a complicated expression, because he was the last to arrive, so everyone was staring at him, Elder Tang felt weak for a while, and was a little impatient.

"What to see, what to see, can't you be late?" Elder Tang defended himself.

"Alright, let's be quiet, everybody! Now that everyone is here, let's get started! Young man, you said you found the murderer, can you tell us who the murderer is?" said the patriarch to me.

I nodded: "That's natural, since it's Haikou that I boasted about, if I don't find out the murderer today, we will have to be dealt with as murderers." ”

Zhang Xiaoxian ran in front of him: "Wang Bo, do you really know who the murderer is?"

I smiled at Zhang Xiaoxian and asked her to stand for a while, and the mystery would soon be revealed.

I took a sip of water, then sorted out my thoughts in my head and said, "Before I tell the murderer, I want to tell you about yesterday's rumors. Someone is rumored that I have found the murderer, and there is a very important piece of evidence, that is, the murderer was wearing a blue dress at the time, and if you look at what everyone is wearing today, several of them are wearing blue. ”

That's right, yesterday when I asked the patriarch to send a message, I specifically mentioned this, because that day in the cave, the strip of cloth I picked up was blue, although this kind of cloth is ordinary, but through these days' observations, it is found that women rarely use this material, basically some men are wearing, it is the kind of tunic suit.

As soon as everyone heard about blue clothes, they were looking at each other's clothes, and there were quite a few people wearing blue clothes, and they were basically men.

One of them will ask: "You said that the murderer was dressed in blue, and we have at least a dozen of them here, do you mean that they are all murderers?"

"That's right, if you can't find the murderer, you can just identify it, it's clear that you're excusing yourself. Someone else said.

Suddenly, the scene was like ants on a hot pot, and everyone discussed.

"Everyone first be quiet and listen to me slowly, if you wear blue before yesterday, you may be regarded as a suspect, but today it is the opposite, wearing blue is safe, because the murderer also knows the news, he has a weak heart, so he will definitely not wear blue today. I said.

After listening to my explanation, everyone thought it made sense: "But there are more people who don't wear blue than they wear blue, how do you know who the murderer is?"

"That's a good question, I need you to do one thing now, everyone proves that you were not present at the time of the crime, starting from left to right, standing on the left if you can prove it, and standing on the right if you can't prove it, let's start!" I said.

"At noon that day, I was working in the fields with Aunt Wang and Aunt Li, and several people were there at the time, so we could prove each other. ”

"You're all right, stand on the left. I said.

Another person said: "My family happened to be repairing the house, and several neighbors were helping me with the work at that time, so we couldn't be the murderers." ”

"It was all right to repair the house at the time, standing on the left. ”

"The road in front of the village had collapsed a few days ago after heavy rain, and several of us were working on the road. One said.

"That's fine, we saw you when we first arrived in the village that day, standing on the left. I said.

Wave after wave of elimination, the more people on the left are standing, and there are fewer and fewer people left who have no proof, and I believe that the real murderer should be in a very nervous state now, thinking about the proof of alibi.

"Aunt Li, who gave me oranges, it's your turn. I said.

Aunt Li was in a trance, and her two hands on her chest should not be put down: "I, I, I'm taking a nap, no one can prove it, but, but the murderer is really not me." ”

"No one can prove it, stand on the right. I said coldly.

"It's really not me, I'm wronged, everyone have to believe me. Aunt Li reluctantly stood to the right.

"It's your turn, Elder Tang. "I'm looking forward to Elder Tang's proof.

"I was in the back mountain that day, and everyone knew that the back mountain had always been guarded by me, and I would go there when I had time, and no one could prove it. "Elder Tang finished speaking, he was the last to prove himself.

My gaze suddenly sharpened, I pointed at Elder Tang with my finger, and said very decisively: "The murderer is you, Elder Tang, I'm right!"

As soon as everyone heard that the murderer was Elder Tang, they suddenly exploded again, because usually Elder Tang and Zhang Xiaoxian's grandfather have the best relationship, iron buddy, I said that he was a murderer, and many people didn't believe it.

Even the patriarch began to interject: "Young man, could it be a mistake, how could it be Elder Tang?"

"Yes, although I don't have an alibi, but you have to tell the evidence that you say I'm the murderer. "Elder Tang is very confident, making me feel as if I have really wronged him.

"Don't worry, I'll convince you. Do you know why I deliberately asked the patriarch to send out the news yesterday? In order to make the murderer anxious and make him not calm, I had already guessed that if the news was released, the murderer would definitely pretend to come to test my tone, so yesterday I waited at home all day, waiting for people to come to me, Elder Tang came to me yesterday!" I said.

Elder Tang's face changed color, and he even began to stutter when he spoke.

"I did look for you, that's because I have an iron relationship with Old Tang, shouldn't I care about him?"

"You just said that you were in the back mountain at the time of the crime, but how do I remember that one of the people who arrested us at that time was you, and I have been to the back mountain, and even if you run for at least 20 minutes! I am curious about how to rush back and arrest us with everyone when I heard someone shouting for help, and this time is no more than five minutes at most, and I can only explain it with one reason, that is, you were lying just now, and you are not in the back mountain at all, because you are the one who called people. I said.

My words sparked a unanimous discussion among everyone, and indeed as I said, everyone knows the distance from the back mountain to the old Tang's house, and it is impossible for Elder Tang to run a single trip in less than five minutes, even if he is replaced by Liu Xiang.

I continued to analyze: "I don't know if you have noticed the situation of the old Tang family at the time of the crime, the house was turned into a mess, and it looked like a robbery, but if you think about it, what is there to rob the old Tang family? If my guess is correct, at that time, the old Tang couple was drinking tea in the courtyard, the water in the teapot had just been brewed, and the two empty cups were placed on the table and the water had not yet been poured into them, but why did the old Tang couple die in the house again? There were no traces of a fight in the yard, which only showed that the murderer and the deceased knew each other, and did not know that the murderer would kill them, and then the murderer took the old Tang couple to the house and killed them while they were not paying attention. ”

"Makes sense, makes sense. Someone nodded.

"Then why do you think it's Elder Tang and not anyone else, compared to Aunt Li, she doesn't have any alibi. Someone asked again.

Knowing that everyone would be suspicious, I took out two pieces of cloth from my pocket and asked everyone to take a closer look: "Let's see what's the difference?"

"These two materials are of the same material, so they should be the same fabric. ”

"Isn't this just the fabric of an ordinary blue tunic suit?"

"What do these two pieces of cloth have to do with the deceased?"

"Good question, if I remember correctly, when I met Elder Tang on the first day, he was wearing clothes of this material at that time, and I have observed that Elder Tang has a habit of cleanliness, and all his clothes are the same color, as for the dress he is wearing today, I am afraid it is to hide his weakness!" I said.

"It seems to be true, I really haven't seen Elder Tang wear other clothes. ”

"Yes, yes, my family lives next door to Elder Tang, and I have also discovered this problem. ”

"Even if I like clothes of this color, it doesn't prove that what you say is right, it's just your assumption. Elder Tang said.

He's right, and this prima facie evidence really doesn't prove the problem, but well, I have a solution.

"Zhang Xiaoxian, come here. "I called Zhang Xiaoxian.

Zhang Xiaoxian didn't know why I called her, but she still came over after hearing the voice.

"This friend of mine has a keen sense of smell, she can smell it just by her nose, you smell these two pieces of cloth first, and then smell Elder Tang's. I said.

Zhang Xiaoxian did as I asked, and she said, "That's right, the taste is the same, these two pieces of cloth are indeed owned by Elder Tang." ”

"Is this girl really such a god? can you smell it just by her nose?"

"They're playing tricks!"

"I think it's true, I've heard the old man say it before, some people do have this kind of excellence, but the taste alone can't say anything!"

There was another lot of discussion, and the patriarch began to speak again: "Apart from this, can you find any more direct evidence." ”

"Now I'll convince everyone, Zhang Xiaoxian, bring the things. Zhang Xiaoxian picked up the bag I gave her just now.

"Elder Tang, you didn't expect it! This piece of clothing that you lost will fall into my hands, everyone now put the fabric on it and compare it to see if it is from this dress." I said.
