Shoe?
Feng Chuan suddenly remembered that Xiaoqin had no shoes on her feet, where did the shoes go?
She went to ask her mother, and then asked Xiaoqin's mother, and finally determined the dark blue floral cloth shoes that Xiaoqin was wearing that day.
The most important thing right now is to find these shoes.
Two of them went to the river to fish, two of them went to the street to look for them, and the rest of the people began to pay attention to such a pair of shoes.
"Feng Chuan, if these shoes float away along the river, I'm afraid we won't be able to find them in our lifetime, right?" Master Li had some doubts, and what was even more worried was that this Xiaoqin's property was not lost, and it was not violated, so what was the purpose of the murderer?
A quick catcher walked in, and saw that Master Li was busy explaining that he had just found a witness, who saw a man riding by the river in the east of the city that day, and this person was startled when he saw the horse, and a girl was almost knocked on, and it was the blue floral shoes he was wearing.
"What about people?" Master Li naturally asked, the man said, people are outside, I don't know if he is passed in?
Lord Li invited the man to enter the door, and a thin old man slowly walked into the yamen, seeing that the adult was a little scared, trembling nervously, what happened to that girl?
"She's dead."
This person didn't know that Xiaoqin was dead, and he was stupid now, knowing that the girl was dead, and she might not come out.
He hesitated, vaguely, I don't know if I saw it clearly that day, maybe I was wrong.
Wrong?
"Didn't you just say you could see clearly?"
"This?"
He suddenly didn't want to say what he saw and heard, and kept saying that he was old and dizzy. Can not see clearly.
Feng Chuan knew that he must be afraid of offending someone, and the people were afraid of being involved. He was afraid, which could only prove one thing, that is, she knew who this person was, and this person must be a powerful person, so he would be afraid.
How do you make him feel comfortable telling who that person is? He may not be the murderer, but he may know something.
"Uncle, you tell the truth. We will definitely guarantee your safety, we just want to investigate the real culprit in this case. ”
The old man was scared when he locked it up, and that day he saw the son of the Kang family riding a horse. He had probably just learned to ride a horse, and when he didn't hold the reins, the horse was startled, and knocked a girl down.
Why did he notice the blue floral shoes?
He was already passing by. In the middle of the argument. The girl said that her newly worn shoes were all dirty, and asked the son of the Kang family what to do?
"What did Kang Gongzi say?"
The old man sighed, if she wants to say that this girl is too simple, who is the Kang family, she may not know, and then she pouted, which angered the young master of the Kang family. The old man recalled. At that time, there were several people around, and the young master of the Kang family was alarmist. If they are nosy, they will not find their way home, so everyone leaves.
"Eh, I'm so troublesome, I shouldn't have just said that I saw these shoes, I thought there was some reward, but now I think about it, it's really a trouble."
Feng Chuan watched the old man spin helplessly, comforting that it would be fine, if everyone who told the truth was punished, wouldn't no one dare to tell the truth.
There is a pot of flowers on the side of the yamen, she explained, the moment the flowers bloom is the most beautiful, but the flowers fall but no one cares, people are different, people help each other, do good deeds, and eventually someone will come back to help you.
Those who do bad deeds are like petals that must eventually fall.
"Uncle, do you know where this Kang family lives?" Feng Chuan turned around and his eyes burned.
The old man was even more afraid, saying this would have caused trouble, if it was......
"We won't let him know what you said, if the old man is worried, he can go to the yamen for a few days. As long as we solve the case, you don't have to worry. ”
The old man justified himself, it stands to reason that it is just a quarrel, and it will not kill anyone, and the girl is afraid that it has nothing to do with Gongzi Kang.
Feng Chuan reluctantly twisted the corners of his mouth, maybe it has nothing to do, after all, he is just investigating, don't worry, there are so many people he saw that day, if he doesn't say it, of course, no one will know what he said, and the old man thinks about it, so he said with peace of mind, he doesn't know the specific location, but he knows the approximate location.
He gave an address, and Master Li sent someone to ask.
Feng Chuan asked the old man to leave first, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and he would contact him again if necessary.
Then send someone to ask Xiaoqin's mother, if she was wearing new shoes that day?
Xiaoqin Niang thought about it, it was new, she was looking for Fengchuan to go out that day, she was so happy, she said that the new shoes were very beautiful, and she also said that she was stinky and beautiful.
Xiaoqinniang cried again when she said this, the child left too suddenly, she was really wronged!
The person sent came back to report that the eldest young master of the Kang family admitted that he had hit a woman that day, and she was quite unreasonable, but good men did not fight with women, and finally he gave silver to eliminate the disaster.
Indeed, a piece of silver was found in the sleeve of Xiaoqin's jacket.
"Didn't you ask him where he went after that?"
The person who sent it did ask, and he said that he went to the place and gambled a few games with the sons of several rich families.
"Master Li, I went to ask, and those people confessed the same, and they said that the approximate time was around that hour, not much difference."
Master Li carefully calculated, the time from the east of the city to where is about a moment, and the time that those people said is only a quarter of an hour different from the time of the crime, if Kang Gongzi committed the crime, there is not enough time.
"Did he see where Xiaoqin went? Or in which direction? ”
He said that he had sent the girl away and had not paid attention to her whereabouts, which should have been to the east.
East?
That's exactly where the river is, what does she go there for?
Feng Chuan never believed that Xiaoqin committed suicide, and she would be suspicious of what the man said, so she had to go to the river again.
There the willows have begun to fall catkins, looking beautiful from a distance, layers of catkins on the river surface, like white mist shrouding the silent earth.
The footprints were a little shallow, and there were still no clues nearby.
Why did this person kill Xiaoqin, and why did he deliberately leave this series of footprints?
Feng Chuan looked at the series of footprints and walked through them according to the approximate location.
She followed the trail of footprints, gently closing her eyes and feeling the thoughts of the murderer at that time.
One step, two steps, three steps......
Plopped, Fengchuan fell into the river, she could swim, but her leg cramped for a while, so she struggled in the water.
It happened that a man passed by and rescued him, and asked with concern why he couldn't think of it.
She spat out a mouthful of water, slightly resentful, "I can't think of anything, I just accidentally fell down." ”
The man pouted, he was still capable, if it weren't for himself, I'm afraid her life would be gone.
"Thank you for saving your life, and Fengchuan will never be forgotten."
The man looked at Feng Chuan, who was slowly getting up, "You're done with it." ”
"I've said thank you, what else do you want, I don't have much silver with me." (To be continued.) )
