"But...... There is one more problem. ”

Following Lu Li to the resting room, Shen Wansha tilted his head, "Can the murderer really stand up by himself?" "What if one person doesn't cooperate?

Lu Li poured himself a cup of herbal tea, looking very confident, "He will definitely come out." ”

"Why?" Shen Wansha licked his lips, he was also a little thirsty, but he was lazy to move, obviously he was used to being served. Thinking about it this way, picking stars is also quite useful, and Shen Wansha decided to wait for the stars to come back to be a little nicer to him. Well, a little bit.

Lu Li smiled slightly, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Shen Wansha and pushed it over. Before Helian Yu appeared, he had always done these jobs, and he had long been used to them.

At the same time, he also poured a cup for Zhao Zhu.

Although he was not very satisfied with the fact that he liked Zhao Zhu, his body was much more honest than his mouth, and he didn't want Zhao Shu to be thirsty and tired. A temper tantrum is a temper tantrum, and he won't hesitate when it's critical, but love is coming, and big men are so shy! Zhao Shu has a lot of firepower, he sweats a lot in summer, and he is still busy tonight, so he can't add some water.

After a long time, enjoying this kind of treatment again, Zhao Zhu's heart is going crazy! He was not flattered, but felt that he had finally been able to see the moon.

The daughter-in-law must be seducing him! Express the irrepressible deep affection in your heart in your own way!

What's next? Vindicate? Or do you want to kiss? Or just pounce on ......

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li directly, and his nosebleed almost came out.

Lu Li had never understood the content in Zhao Zhu's eyes when he made a second mistake, thinking that he was staring at him so directly just because of accident and gratitude.

Then he smiled at Zhao Zhu.

He never knew that his smile had always been a killer.

Some people laugh is particularly infectious, when they don't laugh, at most people feel good-looking, and when they laugh, they seem to be able to light up the whole world, warm, brilliant, sunny, healing, all beautiful words are not exaggerated, Lu Li is exactly this one.

He is different from others, his skin is whiter than ordinary people, but it is not pale, containing a pearl-like glow, full and elastic; His facial features are exquisite, his eyebrows and eyes are particularly delicate, and his facial lines are soft, which makes people feel good-looking and not aggressive; His lips are red and his teeth are white, his little tiger teeth are exposed, and his temperament is cute and smart; The worst thing is that it's night, and there is candlelight.

Look at the beauty under the lamp. On weekdays, Lu Li smiled like this, Zhao Shu couldn't stand it, and now he suddenly came like this......

Zhao Zhu's crotch is tight, and at the same time, his nose is hot-

He really had a nosebleed.

And there was a reaction.

Zhao Shu coughed twice and changed his posture, his body was tense, painful and happy.

His daughter-in-law is so seductive, is this a hint that he can swallow it immediately!

Lu Licai didn't care what Zhao Shu was thinking in his mind, and directly answered Shen Wansha's question, "The murder scene was chaotic and brutal, but the murderer had many crimes and arranged them properly, he was not a person without organizational skills, he was very smart." He actually knew in his heart that if he continued to kill like this, he would one day be captured by the government, or die at the hands of the silver corruption organization, so he didn't care about being captured so far. ”

"But it doesn't prove that he will stand up on his own!"

Lu Li lowered his head slightly, his white fingers swept over the teacup, his eyes were sinky, "But he cares about another thing." ”

"Another thing?" Shen Wansha didn't understand.

"Human heads." Lu Li's voice was slower, "Why does he have to cut off his head?" If it is just to confuse the eyes and make it difficult to find the identity of the deceased, there are many methods, such as scratching the face of the deceased, pouring hot oil, etc. If you take it back as a souvenir, it is too large, it is not easy to preserve and there is no beauty, no one will want to keep such a memorial, unless there are other plans. ”

"When there is a blood feud between people, we often say that the head of the other party is cut off to sacrifice the spirit of whoever is in the sky, so the murderer beheads people...... Does it do the same thing? Lu Li smiled lightly, "I said that I could pull him out, he may not care, but if I say that the head has been found, he will definitely be anxious." ”

Shen Wansha listened, his eyes turned confused, "Yes, yes, this makes sense, the murderer will definitely jump out!" ”

"But there may also be accidents, I can recognize things like human heads, which are buried and broken, but in case the murderer burns them and turns them into ashes, the gods will be gone." Although there is such a possibility, Lu Li feels that this kind of accident is very small, the ancients rarely cremated, and the cremation of corpses is extremely rare, and the possibility is very small.

Sure enough, Zhao Shu and Shen Wansha shook their heads at the same time, and said categorically, "Impossible!" ”

"Hope...... bar. Lu Li held the teacup and drank tea.

But not long after, Lu Li began to urge Zhao Zhu, "It's not early, you should go." ”

Zhao Zhu's eyes never left Lu Li, and there was a faint struggle in his eyes.

Shen Wansha was curious, "Where is Brother Zhao going?" ”

"Huajinfang has been making trouble for so long today, and I just told me about the murderer here." Lu Li's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, looking at the boundless night outside the window, his voice was slightly deep, "The party in the silver corruption case wants to use the murderer, and must have been paying attention to the murderer's news, the murderer did not kill as they wanted, but they can't help but do it, tonight, it's a good time." ”

"Ahh They will take advantage of the chaos! Shen Wansha waved his fist, "There is a disturbance here, they are just going to kill Yu Tianyi!" ”

That's why Zhao Shu needs to leave.

The plan was made early in the morning, and no matter how nostalgic Zhao was, he had to work.

He got up and straightened his clothes, refilled a cup of herbal tea for Lu Li, glanced at Lu Li deeply, and left without looking back......

Shen Wansha looked at Zhao Zhu's back in a daze, isn't there still a bunch of subordinates?

Lu Li saw Shen Wansha lying on the table, "Tired? When you're tired, you can sleep for a while, and it won't end so soon. ”

"Don't!" Shen Wansha immediately sat up straight, his eyes shining, "I want to witness a miracle!" ”

Lu Li: ...... All right.

……

After Lu Li left, the atmosphere in the room with more than 20 people became very depressing.

The more fierce the people who made trouble before, the more they were scared, and tried to shrink their bodies to reduce their sense of existence and prevent murderers from targeting. Gradually, led by Li Gui, a group of people subconsciously crowded together, with their backs to the wall in fear, and the people standing scattered in the four corners, all of them whispered 'I'm not, I'm not I'm not ......'.

The people standing on the walls and at the corners looked at each other, some walked into the crowd, and some still stood and did not speak.

Helian Yu followed the observation points given by Lu Li and saw that now, who was the murderer had basically been determined, but factual evidence was still needed.

Helian Yu began to look as if he was frightened, and talked to himself. He plays a dust-free, somewhat high-minded, but smart thief, his frightened expression must be low-key and obscure, and his voice must be very soft, and he can't see it if he doesn't pay special attention.

"It's just stealing something, and it's such a big battle......"

"The people of the Yamen must be lying......"

"They must not be there to catch some decapitator...... It must be in the old cloth puzzle ......"

"They're going to pull me out......"

"They don't want to take me to jail...... In doing so, they were trying to kill me...... What to do......"

Helian Yu bit his nails and tangled, his eyes were slightly panicked, and his complexion was pale.

At this moment, there were a lot of people talking to themselves in the room, and the group of people holding the ball in the middle were talking to themselves while shaking, and Helian Yu's expression was not abrupt at all.

But the man standing directly in front of him against the wall tilted his head slightly, and pressed his ears closer to the wall.

Helian Yu noticed it and performed harder.

Waiting for the affection to be paved layer by layer, sublimated, and finally panicked, he touched his left chest, and his low voice suddenly became pleasantly surprised, "Fortunately, the officials didn't search ......."

He looked left and right, feeling that no one was paying attention, and carefully took out a wax pill from his arms, narrowed his eyes and chuckled in satisfaction, "Just hold your breath with this for a moment...... Hey hey ......"

After waiting for a long time again, until someone was about to lose his breath, Helian Yu finally moved.

He held the wax pill between his fingers, slowly approached the middle of the room, took a deep breath, and held it while no one was paying attention, while his knuckles were quickly twisted, and a pungent smell spread throughout the room.

Helian Yu noticed out of the corner of his eye that someone was also holding his breath under his reminder, and the corners of his lips were lightly hooked.

There was not a single scream in the room, and everyone fell asleep almost immediately, with the sound of 'plopping' falling to the ground.

Helian Yu looked at the people sleeping on the ground, and he really smiled, "A bunch of idiots!" ”

Then he turned around, took off the hairpin on his head, twisted it twice, and unscrewed it with a 'click', and he took out two slender silver needles from it, and stomped to the door.

Leaning on the door, his ears were propped up and he listened, as if he didn't hear anything, and he pulled the door with satisfaction.

Unlike modern times, most of the doors in ancient times were opened and closed side by side, if the inside was latched, the outside could not be opened, and if it was locked on the outside, a narrow slit could be opened when the inside was pulled.

The screeching sound of the huge iron chains wrapped around the lock was especially noticeable in the silence of the night.

Helian Yu paused, and found that there was still no movement outside, so he continued lightly.

After that, he hooked the lock with two silver needles in his hand, reached into the lock hole and stirred it twice, and the lock clicked and opened.

Of course, he did this very easily, but in order to show his nervousness, he didn't do it quickly, the lock slipped three times when he hooked the lock, and the silver needle of the tool fell out of the door when he unlocked the lock, and he took it back with difficulty and continued to open the lock.

This three times and twice, accompanied by the fear that someone will come at any time, the atmosphere is extremely tense.

When Helian Yu finally opened the lock, he cheered himself excitedly, and quietly noticed the person lying by the wall out of the corner of his eye. Seeing the slight movement of the eyelids, he relieved himself, untied the chains, and jumped out.

"Hehe, Ye is really powerful, the strength of the medicine is not ordinarily strong, even the guards are dizzy!"

Helian Yu's proud voice came from outside the door.

The figure lying by the wall scrambled to his feet, walked to the door, and quietly peered out.

Helian Yu stood in the middle of the courtyard with his arms crossed, muttering softly, "There must be people guarding outside the gate, you can't go, it's better to climb the wall......" He circled around the root of the wall, and from time to time his ears were close to the wall to listen to the movement, probably choosing a route.

After a while, his eyes lit up, he chose a good position, his body was light, he jumped on the wall, the cat lowered his body and looked around vigilantly, and smiled, "Little officer, do you still want to lock up the master?" No way! ”

After saying that, he jumped down again, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.

The people at the door listened quietly, and did not hear the sound of the thief being frustrated.

He lowered his eyebrows and sneered, walked out from behind the door neatly, followed the route that the thief had just chosen, climbed up the wall, and left.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, he thinks he is the smart yellow finch, but he doesn't know that behind the yellow finch, there is an eagle staring at him closely.

Recently, Jingzhao Mansion is very lively, the King of Chefs and Doctors will be held, there are a lot of people coming and going in the city, and the Mansion Yin Jia sent people to patrol the streets, reducing the curfew of one hour in the morning and evening, so on the fourth watch, the city gate was opened.

The man fled from his room, and ran to the gate, and when he reached the gate, it would be four watches, and as soon as the guards opened the door, he ran out in a puff of smoke.

The guard felt very suspicious, and was about to stop, when the brother who was on duty with him next to him killed a chicken and wiped his neck, and he looked back suspiciously, and was startled.

Okay, the head of the guard catches the team, and there are a bunch of people, at least no less than thirty! Although it was a little far away, there were not many people rushing out of the city early in the morning, and these people were obviously aiming at the person just now!

The guard knew the head of the guard and knew that he had been working on a big case recently, so he didn't ask anything, and he stepped aside to salute and let him go.

Wei Zhutou took Lu Li, Shen Wansha and two teams to catch quickly, walked through the city gate, and fell far behind the man.

The man seemed to be in a very anxious mood, and kept running on without stopping until he reached a grave slope in the suburbs.

When he came to a low grave bag, he stood still, stooped down, and immediately took a thin, sturdy plank from the surrounding area, and dug it up two feet from the tombstone.

No matter how thin the plank is, it is not sharp enough, digging a pit is not as good as a hoe, but fortunately, this man is very strong, and the position is also very accurate, after dozens of times, the pit is three inches deep, this person squatted down, directly with his hands, even planing and picking, and finally dug out a head that was almost rotten, leaving only Sensen's white bones.

"Hahaha - you lied to me! I knew you couldn't find the head, you couldn't find it! ”

The moon was gone, the stars were dim, the night was dark, it was the darkest hour before dawn, and the sound of his smug laughter was heard far away.

Suddenly, numerous torches lit and flanked him from all sides, surrounding him.

Wei Zhutou, Lu Li, Shen Wansha, and He Lianyu all occupied one direction, blocking him from flying.

His gaze swept over the crowd, as if he didn't understand why.

"Mao San, it's really you!" Lu Li squinted, and his tongue bloomed with spring thunder.

Shen Wansha also crossed his waist and laughed, "Hahaha, the iron!" I've caught you now, see where else you can run! ”

Wei Zhu also looked relieved and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He Lianyu stood between Shen Wansha and Lu Li, and while he was satisfied that he had guessed correctly, he was wary of Mao San's unusual behavior. Zhao Zhu is not here, he wants to protect the two people, and his eyes can't be staggered at all.

The torch illuminated the man in the middle. This person is very short, thin, wearing a short shirt, with a loose belt, high sleeves, a red face, and sweat all over his body, except for the different clothes, almost exactly the same as when the drunken eight immortals first met, it is Mao San.

Wei Zhutou took a step forward and looked at Mao San coldly, "You confess yourself, or do you want me to torture?" ”

When Mao San saw Helian Yu, he already understood that he had already been tricked, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "This head was just picked up by me, and my kindness is buried here, I don't know what the head catcher asked me to confess, why did you torture me?" ”

"You don't know your sin!" Shen Wansha jumped out and dragged Mao San angrily, "You used Mei Niang's own advantages and habits to follow him all the way to several places, killing countless people, and now that the physical evidence is available, you still can't deny it!" ”

Mao San looked at Wei Zhutou quietly and did not speak.

Shen Wansha was ignored and was very unhappy, and ran to Lu Li, "Little Lizi, look at him!" ”

Lu Li patted his little friend's shoulder and looked at Mao San, "So far, it's useless if you don't admit guilt." The head of the guard has sent someone to your residence and the blacksmith's shop, and I think that I will soon be able to find your murder weapon and get a confession from the shopkeeper and his acquaintances. At the same time, the government also contacted the government offices of Chengdu and Xingyuan, and ordered the arrest to help investigate the place you passed through and the foothold. Your daily routine, your habits, what you do, we can get it all. ”

"As for the head in your hand—"

Getting closer, Lu Li saw the skull in Mao San's hand more clearly.

Mori Bai's skull is very damaged. There are pitted depressions, circular collapse fractures, and bone injuries such as arc, annular, and circumferential fractures of the outer plate of the bone; star-shaped, multiple continuous blunt-angle contusions, soft tissue defects; There were also several sharp, what looked like wounds from triangular blunt objects.

For such a scar, the murder weapon should have been a hammer head with a diameter of less than two inches, a round face, or a rounded hexagon. Because he went to the blacksmith shop to make a post-mortem tool, Lu Li knew a little about the iron-making tools, and the wound was very similar to the special small hammer used by the blacksmith.

This kind of small hammer is somewhat like the modern claw hammer, the top and bottom are different, the lower end is flattened, which is convenient for hammering, and the upper end is bent, which is convenient for hooking and pulling the hot iron sheet during operation, and the curved end is not as large as the arc of the claw hammer, but it is sharper than the claw hammer.

In this way, the small hammer is generally not too big, the palm is slightly wider to hold, the handle is not too long, and it is very convenient to carry around, but if you see it small, it is wrong to underestimate it. The hammer was small, but it was heavy, and some blacksmiths accidentally struck themselves and broke their bones.

The human skull is so hard that it can be wounded like this, and you can imagine how much strength the murderer used and how deep the hatred felt in his heart when he created these wounds.

Lu Li's eyebrows raised slightly, "In Xia Lu Li, he is the best at distinguishing bones, even if there are only bones left, he can also detect the exact time of death, bone age, men and women, regional characteristics, and what murder weapon the scar is caused by." ”

Mao San was stunned, obviously a little unconvinced.

Everyone didn't mean to entangle with him, especially Wei Zhutou, beckoning to the catchers, "It's been a busy day and a night, it doesn't matter if you recruit or not, once you go to prison, you will be willing to recruit." Brothers, give it to me! ”

Because of the tight grasp above, everyone turned around for this case, working overtime day and night, and there was no rest for a long time.

Lu Li was in a very comfortable mood at this time, "I am not familiar with the trial of the case, so I will trouble the head arrester and the official." ”

"This big case has been solved, and Mr. has contributed a lot," Wei Zhutou was a little anxious, "It's almost the last trembling, how can Mr. not care?" "Is this conceiving?

Lu Li waved his hand, "We are a team, we should have helped the government to conduct an autopsy and chase the murderer, and the trial is not under our control, everyone is doing their duty, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Sure enough, it's making work. And resolutely.

Wei Zhutou didn't say anything more, frowned and said, "If the case is necessary, I will come to ask for Mr." ”

"This is natural, if there is any need, the head catcher only needs to send someone to say it."

"Lord Fu Yin has made an agreement with Mr., Mr. can not forget."

"Xie Wei catches his head and reminds me, I remember."

Jingzhao Mansion Yin previously said that he wanted to see Lu Li, but he was so busy that he couldn't spare time, and now that the big case has been solved, it is time to have time. Lu Li didn't understand what Fu Yin was looking for him, but if he had no grievances or hatred, people would never want to harm him, so he agreed very easily.

After carefully examining the skull again, Lu Li listened to the shape, size, and description of the murder weapon to Wei Zhutou, and asked him to send someone to pay attention to it, and finally said a few words before saying goodbye to Wei Zhutou.

After Wei Zhutou led the people away, Shen Wansha rubbed in front of Lu Li, "I still don't understand one more thing. ”

After catching the murderer, Lu Li was in a good mood, walking with a smile on his face, "What's the matter?" ”

"That...... In the Yuanlai Inn," Shen Wansha blinked, "Didn't Xiao Er, who was on duty, see the murderer and say that the murderer was tall?" Mao San is very short! ”

"When did Xiao Er see the murderer?"

"If it's on duty, it's naturally at night!"

"Xiao Er also said that there was a light in the room."

At this time, the eastern sky is white, the morning star is shining, and it is about to dawn.

Lu Li pointed to the sky and reminded Shen Wansha, "When the light hits people, what will happen?" ”

Shen Wansha suddenly figured it out, and slammed his palms with his fists, "It's a shadow!" ”

"The candlelight will stretch the figure very long, even if you see the shadow and think it is high, it does not mean that the person is really tall." Helian Yu added.

"Then Brother Zhao used this point to refute me!" Shen Wansha puffed up his little face, very unconvinced.

"Well...... Lu Li tilted his head slightly, "but it's a good thing that the case is solved." ”

Shen Wansha is not good at holding grudges, and he was happy again when he spoke, "Also, watching the murderer be arrested in person, it's so exciting!" No matter how many times it passes, the young master likes it! ”

A few people chatted lightly and walked back, the road was very quiet, and the morning air was very fresh.

Lu Li looked at the sky that was getting brighter and brighter, and secretly wondered what happened to Zhao Zhu?

After a fierce battle, Zhao Shu was quietly wiping the blood on the knife and suddenly sneezed.

When he entered the door, Hong You, who was about to report the news, asked first, "The prince is unwell?" But caught the wind chill? ”

Zhao Zhu raised his eyes and looked at the eastern sky, "It's fine." "It must be the daughter-in-law who misses him! I thought about it after being separated for a while, and it was too clingy!

Seeing Hong You's stern expression, Zhao Shu put away his eyes and asked, "Can you recruit it?" ”

"Back to the prince, it's recruited." Hong bowed right and stepped forward and whispered a name.
