Chapter 8: Antique Shops (8)

Bai Shui was small, but Qin Fang was frightened by him from behind, he was half paralyzed, and immediately half a body shorter, so he grabbed his collar and said angrily, "Okay, you are a disciple, you dare to tease me." ”

Qin Fang shouted injustice, "If you don't let me in to tell the truth, I can only tell lies, if you don't believe it, ask him if I am his brother-in-law." ”

Su Yunkai really wanted to say no, but if he said no, it was estimated that he would be torn by the angry white water, "He is my brother-in-law, please open the net of Bai Zhutou, don't worry about him." ”

Mingyue also came to intercede, and Bai Shui let go, "Next time you dare to come nonsense, I have to break your neck." ”

"......" Qin Fang was speechless, even if it was the Jingshi's fast catch, it was not so fierce.

"Bai Zhutou, is there someone guarding Baibaozhen now?" Su Yunkai wanted to go to the antique shop in person, maybe he could find other clues.

"Naturally, there is." Bai Shui knew that he wanted to go, so he immediately led them over, and when he saw that the liar was also coming, he stopped him with a big knife, "Idle people are not allowed to go." ”

Qin let off his breath and said, "You are the 'idle'." ”

Mingyue interjected, "His name is Little Monkey, Little Monkey, his name is Bai Shui, and he is the most powerful head catcher in our county." ”

Qin Fang's eyes widened, and he said inexplicably, "I'm not called Little Monkey." ”

"Yes, yes, your big name is Qin Fang, but it's kinder to call your nickname, so don't stare at Brother Bai and reconcile."

“…… My nickname isn't called Little Monkey! ”

Mingyue Fox said suspiciously, "But that's what Gongzi Su called you." ”

"I ......" Qin Fang remembered that he had met at the inn just now, and he was immediately interrupted by him when he heard that he was going to call him "Little Marquis", leaving only the word "Little Marquis". He suddenly smiled bitterly and couldn't explain clearly, and after explaining, he had to reveal his identity, "Okay, my name is Xiaohou." ”

Bai Shui was quite impatient, "Manly man, how can you drag mud and water." ”

In order not to be escorted back to Kaifeng, Qin let it go.

Bai Baozhen is one of the dowries of the Liu family's maiden family when she first married, in addition to this shop, there are four other shops, but the rest are rented to others, only this one is done by herself. The antiques were all sold, and now most of them have been stolen, and the store looks empty.

Because the case is not closed, there are still officials guarding the door, and no one can enter. So except for the day of the crime, after Lord Qin brought someone to check on it, no one came in.

The yellow mud footprints on the ground have dried, and when the wind sweeps the open door, it gently flies and turns into dust.

Su Yunkai squatted on the ground and looked at the footprints, which he could see more clearly than he could see outside that day. Although it was messy, it was vaguely visible that it was indeed entering through the main entrance, and then it seemed that there was a small area of chaos because of the fight. It's just that some footprints are clearly printed, but there are still defects on the front edge. He gestured, it rained heavily that night, the ground was muddy, and it was normal for shoes to be muddy when he came, but why was the edge of each toe not a complete semi-oval?

couldn't tell clearly, he put it down for the time being, his eyes wandered around, and a Taohe inkstone came into his eyes. The inkstone is hollow and open-carved, the pattern is layered, the stone pattern is like silk, and it has a unique posture of rolling clouds and waves.

Seeing that he was reaching out to take it, Bai Shui hurriedly said, "That inkstone is the murder weapon that caused the wound on the top of Liu's head." ”

Su Yun was surprised, and Mingyue next to him had already handed over a plain white handkerchief. He took it, picked up the handkerchief, picked up the inkstone and turned it upside down, and the dry ink in the inkwell shook off like black charcoal. He held the inkstone in his right hand, smoothed the floor with his left, and turned to look elsewhere.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking for something, Mingyue squatted down and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

Su Yunkai replied, "See if there are any smashed dents on the ground." The corner of the inkstone is missing half an inch, which should be caused by falling to the ground. ”

"That may also be caused by smashing Liu's head, and there is ink in Liu's Baihui acupoint."

"It's not." Su Yunkai took the inkstone and showed it to her, "The corner of the head that was smashed had blood stains, but it was not damaged." The broken corner is the other corner, and the damaged place is still the primary color of the stone, and if it is also smashed here, the primary color will also be stained red with blood. ”

Mingyue suddenly realized, and also carefully looked for traces on the ground. When he found the door, he saw that the light was blocked, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Fang standing there with his nose covered and disgusted, and he didn't mean to come in at all, "It doesn't stink here, you don't have to cover your mouth." ”

"Hmph." Qin Fang snorted lightly or heavily, covered his nose and frowned, "The wine inside is sky-high, and it smells very bad." ”

Mingyue sniffed, "It's a little bit of wine, but it's not to the point of being unpleasant." ”

Su Yun laughed, "He is a well-known dog-nosed in Kyoto, and he is still an alcoholic. ”

"Brother-in-law, what you said is not right." Qin Fang retorted, "I'm a fairy nose, and I'm still a wine fairy. ”

Bai Shui glanced at him, "Gentleman, then tell me what kind of wine is here." ”

Qin Fang hesitated slightly, unwilling to go in. After a look, the evil catcher raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had contempt, his heart was horizontal, he stepped in, and sniffed around, "It's not easy to identify, I guessed about seven or eight kinds, but I don't know which one." ”

"Didn't you say it was a dog's nose?"

"......" Qin Fang almost pounced on him and fought with him, forget it, he couldn't beat him.

Mingyue listened to them talk and went to find the dent, turned around for another half a circle, and finally saw it, "Found it!" ”

Su Yunkai immediately looked in the direction she was pointing to, and really saw a depression in the ground. Compare it with the inkstone, and the dents are almost the same. In the pit, there are still a little stone chips. Dip it up with your fingertips, and the color contrast with the inkstone notch, which is completely consistent.

But when he looked up and saw where the dent was, he was a little confused.

Mingyue saw that his brows were not loosened, and she whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not in the right place." Su Yunkai stood up and looked around the shop, "I thought that the dent would be near the table, where it is convenient to take the inkstone, but I didn't expect it to be not far from the door." ”

Mingyue looked at what he said, and also sensed that something was wrong-if the murderer picked up the inkstone without anything, Liu Peizhen would definitely be alert. Even if Liu Peizhen didn't doubt why he took the inkstone and walked to the door, the murderer didn't have to take the inkstone far from the door. There is a potted plant next to the door, and two flat stones are placed in the potted plant, which can completely replace the inkstone, so why do you have to get the inkstone?

She slowly stood up and turned to see if there was anything unusual at the front door. As soon as he stood still, he heard Su Yunkai call "don't move". provoked Bai Shui to look curiously, and saw Su Yunkai walking behind Mingyue with an inkstone in his hand, and suddenly understood, "Liu Peizhen was attacked by someone with an inkstone when she was closing the door." ”

Mingyue suddenly felt a chill behind her, not afraid of Su Yunkai, but thinking of Liu Peizhen's situation that day - someone behind her wanted to kill you, but you didn't know it at all.

Qin Fang was still trying to save his name as a wine fairy, sniffing around, smelling it on the ground, and immediately returned to his complacency, and said freely, "I know what kind of wine this is, it's a mouthful of wine." ”

Su Yunkai looked at him, "Tell me carefully." ”

"Kouzi wine is produced in Suzhou, the wine is colorless, and the aroma is strong. The most suitable way to drink is to drink in large gulps, if it is accompanied by roast chicken, brine duck, and oil-consuming goose paws, it is even better. He had forgotten that there had been a murder here, and he wanted to drink very much.

"Kouzi wine ......" Su Yun thought suddenly, "Bai Zhutou, in Ge's confession, can there be anything about him drinking when he was entertained last night?" What kind of wine are you drinking? ”

Bai Shui immediately went out to find the official and asked him to take a confession. It didn't take long for the official to find him, and at a glance, Ge Cheng and his four friends confessed, and they drank only one kind of wine, Sangluo wine.

This time, without waiting for anyone to ask, Qin Fang explained, "Sangluo wine is imperial wine, and the folk call it Puzhou wine, and the winemaking recipe is slightly different from the imperial wine. This wine is also colorless, but the taste is mellow and fragrant. The color is more tender than the elixir, and the fragrance is still spring with nectar. ”

Su Yunkai asked, "What about the side dishes?" ”

"Of course, it is accompanied by light flavors, such as stir-fried shrimp, fish head tofu, white chopped chicken or something."

Su Yunkai was silent for a moment, and then said, "The murderer is not Ge Xiang. He put the inkstone back on the ground, and www.biquge.info some ink dust in the Fun Pavilion, "According to Wu Chip, after Liu Peizhen and Ge sent to meet, there was a happy movement. Later, it stopped for a long time before there was any movement again, and by that time Ge Cheng should have left. ”

Bai Shui frowned and questioned, "But it is also possible that after the exchange, there was some conflict between the two." ”

Su Yunkai said, "If that's the case, then the wine left here shouldn't be Kouzi wine, but Sangluo wine." Ge Chuan is a good winemaker, and he is also well versed in the way of winemaking, they drank Sangluo wine that day, and the side dishes were the same as Qin Fang said. But the smell left here is the mouth wine. ”

"If the murderer is someone else, then why did two people who had both drunk come here, but only the murderer left the smell of alcohol?"

"On the day of the incident, I was also outside the Baibaozhen shop and found faint traces of water on the ground. And does Bai Zhutou still remember that during the autopsy, Liu's face was stained with oil, and there was wine and water in his mouth and nose? I think that when it rained heavily at night, the murderer did not have an umbrella, so he got his clothes wet. What was used to cover Liu's death was probably the clothes on his body. He inhaled the wine, but there was no trace of heavy pressure on his face, because the clothes were soft, and by the time you arrived at the scene of the crime, the traces had disappeared. ”

Mingyue suddenly shuddered, "Didn't Ge send that Liu Peizhen came out to see him off when he left?" Could it be that in that gap, someone slipped into Baibaozhen, but Liu Peizhen returned to the shop and didn't find it? ”

Su Yunkai felt that it was not impossible.

The wound on the top of Liu Peizhen's head is a dead hole in the middle, and if someone wants to smash an inkstone on the top of her head, it is best to attack her in the back.

But the cause of her death was not a wound on the top of her head, it was possible that she was not knocked unconscious, but fought with the other party. It was also because of the fight, so the guide zhì inkstone was inadvertently kicked away and did not stay in place.

Now to prove that Ge Cheng is not a murderer, there is a very important thing to do. Su Yunkai faced Qin Fang and said solemnly, "You go and see what kind of wine is left in Liu Peizhen's mouth and nose, if it weren't for Sangluo wine, Ge Cheng's suspicion would have been cleared." ”

When Qin Fang heard that he was going to see the dead man, he almost collapsed to the ground again. Bai Shui tugged at his collar again, "Let's go, Brewmaster." ”

“…… Brother-in-law save me! ”

Su Yun smiled softly and waved his hand, "Go quickly." ”

"......" are all bastards!
