124 Murder in the Secret Room (3)
"You're a Tiger?"
The manners of the man in coarse cloth were not bad, but he saluted respectfully, "It's just a small one." ”
"You went out with the young master that day, when did you come back?"
He regretted it, the young master didn't let him follow that day, and he got angry, and finally he stayed in the mansion, not wanting the young master to have an accident.
In the afternoon, someone said that there was a noise in the young master's house, and he thought he had entered the thief, and finally knocked on the door and entered the house.
"What were you doing that afternoon?"
After Young Master Chen left, he was a little worried and reported the situation to the master, who said that it was better for him to go out for a walk by himself, as a distraction.
After saying that, he went back to the house, and did not knock on the door until the old man looked for the young master.
Through cross-examination, the only thing that these people said was the same was that no one knew when the eldest young master would come back.
The old man sighed and called the eldest son pitiful, and God was unfair.
The people in the courtyard kept their mouths shut and stood in the corners.
The eldest young master died so strangely that some people even suspected the ghosts and gods.
"Where there are so many ghosts, it's just people doing tricks." Ren Yongyu knew that there must be someone to blame here, so that everyone would not see the eldest young master come back, thus changing the time of committing the crime.
A maid came running from nowhere, saying that there was a slave who left things in a mess and left.
The old man didn't have time to scruple, so he reprimanded him not to shout.
Ren Yongyu took a look, and it was indeed a mess of things.
Without tidying up, it is naturally scattered.
He suddenly understood something.
No one saw what time the eldest young master entered the door.
Maybe he didn't get in at all.
Maybe he was only seen going out.
Or ......
Ren Yongyu turned around and entered the room. The door is closed.
Master Chen didn't take half a step at the door, and waved his hand to the people behind him at the same time.
The people stopped, but waited at the door.
He climbed up the window in his chair. There are two marks on the window as if they were carved with a knife.
The top of the window was clean, but the rest of the place was full of dust.
He sat on the ground, once again pretending to be the way Young Master Chen had been when he was discovered.
The upper body is tilted and the lower body is parallel to the ground.
Glancing at it with slanted eyes, he turned to the position of the window.
Suddenly brightened, deep eyes, and discerned the truth.
These two marks were most likely caused by rope. Feng Chuan once solved a case where the thief hooked the window with a fishing line and stole things.
This. It is likely that the killer used two fishing lines to interact and transport the body back to the house from the outside.
Naturally, no one else can know when the deceased will return.
The murderer then leaves no evidence behind.
If it were true, then this man must have had a lot of arms, otherwise he would not have thrown a man several feet tall through the window.
Ren Yongyu pushed open the window. At the other end is the firewood house.
If the murderer throws a body from the firewood room. You don't have to use a fishing line, you just need to throw the corpse through the window while people are unprepared, so why bother?
His eyes widened, and behind the firewood house was a mountain.
Green hills surrounded by lush small trees.
The hill is not steep, and if you stand on the lower side of the slow slope, you can move the body to the house through the roof of the firewood house.
Ren Yongyu went out, several officials followed, and Master Chen called from behind. Ask him where he goes, and he will not hear.
Go out from the courtyard of the Chen family. Bypassing the wall, Ren Yongyu spent a while, climbed the mountain, searched left and right for a long time, and finally found a location where the body could be thrown to the eldest young master's house through the roof of the Chen family's firewood house.
"There must be a clue here."
He bent down as he spoke, searching carefully.
Several of the servants followed and bent down.
If the inference is correct, there must be a clue here.
There is no unsolvable case in this world, let alone a homicide case that leaves no clues, but whenever you kill someone, there will definitely be clues.
"Brother Ren, there seems to be something here."
Following the call of the servant, Ren Yongyu hurried over, and a purse was buried in the soil.
He opened his purse, and there was only one earring inside.
There was no silver in the purse, only earrings.
If it is not a rare thing, it must be a thought.
This must have a special meaning for the owner.
And in the mountains in the wilderness, the owner may be the murderer.
"What do we do next?"
The little official has no idea, and he must not be able to find any murderer.
An earring, without any marks on it, where to find the owner?
Even if the owner finds it, he may not guess that the earrings have been lost here.
"You, keep watch nearby, this purse is for you, I will keep the earrings, you pay attention to the person who is deliberately looking for it, and then you must ask who is coming."
Anyway, a little minion stayed there.
The other two followed Ren Yongyu back.
Back in the courtyard of the Chen family, he asked a slave for a ladder.
Slowly climbed up to the house, Xiao Mu kicked in the door, kicked outside the door, saw his legs trembling, and was about to laugh, but unexpectedly saw Ren Yongyu fall down, he hurriedly rowed a few steps, and supported Ren Yongyu with his shoulder, Ren Yongyu didn't fall.
"Hey, are you pigs? Clumsy, climbing a ladder will fall, without me today, you are afraid to fall to death. Xiao Mu coldly complained that Ren Yongyu was stupid.
"Come on, then!"
Xiao Mu rubbed his shoulders and flew up to the roof in a few steps.
"What are you looking for?" He asked Ren Yongyu loudly, looking at the roof without looking back, for fear of falling down and losing face.
Ren Yongyu can be regarded as having a chance to take revenge on him.
keeps chattering, a person who solves a case should know best what to find, how to ask outsiders, let people listen to jokes.
Xiao Mu lowered his head, unwilling to pay attention to him, cursing in his heart for this conscienceless man, as soon as he saved his life, he took revenge.
Before he could speak, Xiao Mu found a clue.
On top of the rubble of the roof, there was a rag and some sand.
Not far away, the rubble was mutilated, and a piece was missing.
"Have any tiles fallen recently?"
A small minion who was cleaning said that there was.
It was after noon yesterday that he went into the kitchenette to get some snacks for his wife.
A few steps into the kitchenette when I heard a noise outside.
When he came out with his things, he found that there was no one, just rubble hanging on the ground, and he told the minions who were in charge of trivial chores, and he didn't pay attention to the others, so he went to deliver snacks.
Old Man Chen's vicissitudes of life showed a tired face, looking at the roof from afar, tilting his head, and turning his neck from time to time.
"Xiao Zhutou, what's wrong with this house?"
Ren Yongyu looked at Xiao Mu, did not squint, but replied lightly to the master's words, the murderer is very likely to throw the body in the eldest young master's house through this roof, that is to say, the eldest young master was killed first, and then transported into the house.
The old man was dumbfounded, and Lian Lian said, how is this possible?
"I can't believe it, but the evidence does." (To be continued.) )
