"There are several deep scratches on the side pillars of the verandah outside Liu Lao's study, which look like sword qi, and I also picked this up. "Xing Yan took out a small piece www.biquge.info of red lacquered log and put it on the stone table, "It is completely consistent with a broken fence in the verandah, which should have been caused by the fight." ”

Qian Xing picked up the red lacquered log and looked at it: "The incision is smooth." His thumb suddenly clicked on something, and he looked stunned. When I looked closely, I saw two small cuts on the red lacquered log.

He pinched the ends of the log and gently broke it along the cut marks, and the log was not damaged at all. It can be seen that the cut marks are very shallow.

Xing Yan said: "I have carefully looked at several other railings, and there are several similar traces, and the wood is not deep. ”

Qianxing put the log back on the table, shook the fan, and said nothing.

Kiyohara pondered: "If the murderer is absolute, these marks are indeed like those caused by his soft sword. But how can we explain the fatal wounds on the deceased's body? In my preliminary judgment, the blood marks between the eyebrows are most likely caused by flying needles, while the small blood marks around the neck are like thin threads. You must know that killers only use soft swords and always act alone. ”

"Are you sure?" asked Twilight, who had been in the middle of the audit.

"I'm sure. Kiyohara nodded vigorously, "Since ancient times, some well-known black and white ones have their own quirks, habits, or principles. For example, the picture boy smiled coldly and drunken laughed three times, someone will die, the two monsters of Yingcheng have always been Meng Bujiao, and the day before the theft of the thief Flying Fox must be informed by letter, even the most despised flower thief Mu Qingfeng only attacks those who are willing to do it, and never makes it difficult for others. And the famous killer has always been a man with a sword, and he commits a crime alone! Therefore, we can completely rule out the possibility of a masterpiece. ”

Xing Yan nodded slightly in approval of Qingyuan's words, and then talked about a domestic servant who died outside the study. The cause of death of the servant was different from the previously stated, there was no blood on the neck or between the eyebrows, but a large bruise on the chest, apparently due to the rupture of the heavy object. Next to the dead servant, there were two large stones with neat sections, and it is conceivable that his sternum was struck by the stones.

"It stands to reason that the murderer controls the stone with internal force, and the stone will fall apart after hitting the human body. Those who have deep internal strength can crush stones into gravel. Xing Yan groaned.

What is the cause of that? If it is a sword, it can indeed split the stone in two and level the cross-section. But if it is a sword, why would the murderer use a large stone to kill someone?

Qingyuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, looked up and saw the eldest prince on the opposite side, and suddenly patted his head, "I know! It's a thin line! That time the red girl made us glutinous rice dumplings, she didn't use a knife but used a thin line to divide it, piece by piece, and it was quite evenly divided." ”

This said, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"I think it's not impossible to split the stone as long as the thin thread is tough enough. If the thin line is used as an external force, the stone will be split by the thin line instantly after hitting the servant, and the section will inevitably be flat. The more Kiyohara spoke, the more his mind cleared, and he felt that all the clues were connected, "And judging from the blood marks on the eyebrows or neck of the deceased, this weapon should be as thin as a silver needle, as soft as a rope, and extremely sharp." It should be a thin line when you think about it. Including those marks on the railings on the posts can be caused by it. But I don't know if it's gold wire, silver wire, or gold silk?"

Twilight Yang hooked his lips and said: "In today's martial arts, there are not a few people who use gold and silver silk or gold silk as weapons. The tips of his eyes glanced at Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao immediately stopped writing and reported the names of the people who used this as weapons in black and white today.

Qingyuan listened attentively one by one, not paying attention to his senior brother's slightly frowning brow.

"None of these people are. Qianxing spoke unhurriedly.

Kiyohara was stunned. Xing Yan bowed his head solemnly and looked at Qing Yuan: "Senior sister, have you forgotten?"

What have you forgotten? Kiyohara frowned, had she forgotten anything important? her mind went back little by little, back to the moment she first entered the scene of the crime to examine the wounds of the deceased. She finally knew what she had forgotten.

"Look at this carefully. Qianxing pointed to a circle of tiny cuts on the red-lacquered log, then turned to Twilight and suggested, "You can try touching it." ”

Twilight raised her hand to touch the cut mark, isn't it just a cut mark?

Hmmm? Not true!

If you feel it finely, there are fine scratches on both sides of the cut marks.

Kiyohara said: "The deceased also had these small scars on his body that were born close to the wounds. He also pointed to the cut surface of the red lacquered log on the table, "The section of the broken stone at the scene is evenly covered with these fine marks, and you may not be able to notice it if you don't look closely." If the murderer used a silk thread weapon, then his silk thread must have another mystery. It is as if there are countless tiny hooks attached to the silk thread. ”

"I've been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, but I've never seen such a strange weapon. Qianxing shook his head and chuckled.

Xing Yan also said: "I have been in the rivers and lakes so far, and I have never heard of it. ”

Twilight's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her gaze fluttered lightly over the folding fan that was slowly swaying on Qianxing's chest.

This hundred-bone fan that the thousand princes never leave is also a peerless weapon! How many people know about it?

Qianxing put away the fan and whispered in her ear: "I am good at using poison and don't like to use weapons." ”

Use poison ......

Twilight's heart froze, and she quietly moved half an inch away, and then calmly glanced at him. I saw that his eyes were gentle and full of smiles. The two on the other side were meditating, and neither of them noticed their abnormality.

Twilight glanced at Chu Xiao, who nodded at her. He said, "That's all for today." Please give the moon fan a little time, and I will give you a satisfactory answer another day. ”

Qianxing nodded and left first. Xing Yan pulled his junior sister to resign, but heard her sister ask: "If the Moon Fan Workshop can't be found, will the three thousand taels of silver be returned?"

Chu Xiao, who was in charge of the intelligence network, naturally couldn't hear such words, and his eyes swept coldly towards Qingyuan. But I heard the owner of the workshop say: "Retreat." Double refund. ”

※※※

After everyone left, Chu Xiao also retreated to sort out the clues. Twilight sat alone in the pavilion for a while, and a series of steady footsteps came from behind her.

"Master of the Twilight Workshop. ”

Hearing this, the corners of his silent lips rose slightly: "Xing Zhutou went and returned, did he remember any important clues?"

She looked back, with a faint smile, and her clear gaze fell on Xing Yan.

"Don't hide it from the owner, it is true. Xing Yan hugged his fists and saluted, and then said, "When my father was alive, there was a codex that recorded some of his experiences and insights in the rivers and lakes. When I was a child, I read a few pages, and vaguely remembered that there was a peerless weapon called 'Xuan Silk Wind', which was quite legendary. It's a pity that I don't know where to throw this codex. The owner may be able to check this silk winding. ”

In this regard, Dui Yang did not express his position, but asked him rhetorically: "You can't ask why you go to Wanren Mountain Villa, do you think Yuefan Fang can give you this answer?"

Xing Yan was silent for a while, and said lightly: "I thought that Wan Ling Villa didn't know, but it was at the wrong time to go down." With that, he hugged his fists and retreated.

At night, Twilight asked Chu Xiao to find out that Xing Yan's days in Wanren Villa were the sacrifice days of Jiang Xiaoming, the third son of the Jiang family's prodigy.
