"In addition, have you noticed that among all the dead are women far more numerous than men, and that they are mainly women between the ages of fifteen and forty? ”

Ye Xiu said with a smile: "Why are there many women, and most of them are young women, because young and beautiful women like to dress up, and they naturally can't do without the mirror, so the number of deaths is the largest; ”

"And among the men who died, the majority were wealthy and less commoners. This is also a corroboration, because wealthy men pay more attention to appearance and appearance, so they need to be groomed and dressed up from time to time, and need mirrors, while ordinary civilian men are relatively less concerned about appearance and do not need to look in the mirror from time to time, so the number of deaths is relatively small. ”

All of this shows that the deceased is related to the mirror, and it seems to be related to the length of time spent in the mirror. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Xiu paused and said slowly: "The most critical point is that all death scenes have mirrors, although the mirrors have different styles and shapes, but without exception, there is a mirror, and they are all bronze mirrors. ”

"Yes, that's true!" Song Yi nodded in response.

Ye Xiu continued: "Mirrors are a necessity of life, so it is not strange that there are mirrors in the home, but this world is not different from our world, the level of productivity in this world is low, and the process is not developed, so the mirror is generally cast in bronze, and the casting process of bronze mirror is complicated, so naturally the price is not bad, and it cannot be done in every household, so only some families with relatively wealthy families have it, and generally poor people will only use clean water or polished smooth iron and other things as mirrors." ”

"In the case of mysterious death, all the deceased have a mirror in their homes, and conversely, those who do not have mirrors in their homes, or rather, do not have bronze mirrors, and none of them are fine, which proves that the deaths of these people are related to mirrors. ”

This explains why none of these dead people were beggars or poor people who had no food or clothing, because they had no money to buy bronze mirrors. Jiang Ge followed Ye Xiu's train of thought.

"But ......" Shen Fangyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "But even if there is a problem with the bronze mirror, there are so many bronze mirrors in Ganquan County, how to check it?"

Mei Qingyu said: "Not all mirrors should have problems, otherwise, it will be more than these people who die." ”

Ganquan County has a population of nearly 50,000 or 60,000, and even though not every household has a bronze mirror, there are by no means a small number of people who have a bronze mirror, at least 6,700 households, 30,000 or 40,000 people. If there were problems with every bronze mirror, then there would have been more than one hundred and five deaths, at least tens of thousands.

"Sister Qingyu is right!" Ye Xiu agreed: "It should just be that there is a problem with some specific bronze mirrors, and this also explains why among all the dead, most of the ordinary people are all dead in the family, but on the contrary, some large and wealthy families, as long as a few people die, there are more survivors." ”

"Because most of the ordinary people's families only have a copper mirror, which is shared by the whole family, so if there is a problem with the copper mirror, then the family will suffer; ”

"That's true. Jiang Ge's eyes lit up, and he answered: "In this way, the scope of our investigation will naturally be greatly reduced." As long as we focus on the mirrors in question, we may be able to find the real culprit. ”

"Great. Shen Fangyuan was overjoyed and admired: "Brother Ye, you are really such a genius, you can find such a secret clue!"

Although Jiang Ge, Song Yi, and Mei Qingyu did not speak, they obviously agreed with Shen Fangyuan's opinion, and they admired it very much. These clues sound very simple, you can understand it as soon as you think about it, and you can understand it at one point, but it is very difficult to really associate this aspect.

After all, it's normal for women to dress up and like to look in the mirror or something, and mirrors can be seen everywhere, and ordinary people will not be suspicious, let alone think of the mirror that can't be hit.

So, if you don't admire it, you can't do it!

"Hehe, it's over, it's over, it's over, although everyone says so. Ye Xiu touched his nose and brazenly admitted the title of "genius".

To tell the truth, he also discovered it by accident, that is, when he asked an old man a question today, the old man told him that Ye Xiu and his wife liked to dress up and look in the mirror very much before she died, and he had heard similar words two days ago, so he paid attention to it, and then noticed the mirror in the old man's house.

And the mirror was covered with dust, Ye Xiu was very strange, so he asked the old man why he didn't wipe the mirror clean.

The old man told Ye Xiu that he had a problem with his eyesight, and the ancient bronze mirror was generally blurry, and the old man rarely looked in the mirror because he couldn't see his figure in the mirror clearly, and the mirror was generally used by his wife before her death.

Ye Xiu was curious, so he touched it with his hand and found that the bronze mirror was covered with dirt and dust, and the old man's wife had just died three days ago, so it stands to reason that there would not be so much dust, and the dirt on it did not look like it was left by the old man, so there was only one possibility, that is, the bronze mirror was covered with dirt and dust before the old man's wife died.

Just ask, how can a person who often dresses up and looks in the mirror before his death let the mirror be dirty and dusty without wiping and cleaning?

There is only one possibility, that is, the old man's wife has been wrong a long time ago, and since something is wrong, it is even more abnormal to dress up and look in the mirror every day.

Linked to the fact that he had heard similar things from others before, he became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, and then slowly contacted the bronze mirror.

In order to verify the guess in his heart, he went back to re-examine the death scene of the mysterious death case, and sure enough, he found that there was a bronze mirror at each death scene.

Although he checked it several times, the bronze mirrors were still only copper mirrors and found nothing, but he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with these bronze mirrors.

A kind of man's intuition.

"Okay, low-key, let's be low-key, I'm a low-key person!" Ye Xiu saw Shen Fangyuan's sluggish appearance, and waved his hand, looking like don't be like this, I'm a low-key person.

“……”

Don't you see that we are shocked by your brazenness? A few people pursed their lips, and the sense of admiration that had just been born in their hearts suddenly dissipated.

"Okay, now that we know that the bronze mirror is the key, let's quickly find a few bronze mirrors and see if we can find anything!" Jiang Ge said.

"No need to go, I have it all here!" Ye Xiu snapped his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, a bunch of bronze mirrors appeared on the table.

Ye Xiu said: "These mirrors are all brought back by me from the scene of death, they should be those strange mirrors, everyone take a look at them to see if they can find any problems?"
