Chapter 32 Advice
"How can there be such a thing?" Uncle Li replied in an orderly manner: "I said at the beginning, the reason why I want to let Master Lin go ahead is because he is carrying a heavy load, and it is better for him to decide the speed at which we enter the mountain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Dagongzi is a martial arts person, and he is familiar with the vast mountains, so let him walk in the front, even if he encounters a snake, there will be no problem. I can be distracted when I walk behind, and see if the branches above my head are coiled with snakes or something, so that I can protect you to the greatest extent, Miss Xia. ”
"Well, well said. But I want to ask you, what's going on with this little porcelain vase? Xia Shuanghan said as he took out the small porcelain bottle that he had just searched from Uncle Li's waist from his sleeve, threw it to Lin Xiran and said, "Lin Gongzi, please open this bottle and take a good look, is it really an ointment in it?" ”
Lin Xiran took the small porcelain bottle, and when he opened it, his face changed, because the porcelain bottle was not filled with ointment, but with medicinal powder. He raised his hand and fanned the wind to smell the contents of the bottle, and said with a solemn face: "This is 'falling against the wind'!" It is a drug that can make people sleep for two hours after inhalation. ”
"Exactly." Xia Shuanghan said and raised his hand to take the small porcelain bottle back from Lin Xiran's hand and put it away again, and then turned his head to look at Uncle Li. Xia Shuanghan didn't plan to ask about the dagger, after all, a sentence of "with self-defense" could fool the past, so she just wanted to wait for Uncle Li to explain the drug clearly.
"How could it be, how could it be windy?" For the first time, Uncle Li's face showed panic and disbelief, but these two emotions were quickly replaced by sudden realization. "I must have taken the wrong bottle! All the various plasters and powders in my house are in small porcelain bottles with the same shape, and today I must have taken the wrong bottle because I accidentally placed several bottles in the wrong place with each other last time. This windward is what I use to deal with wild boars on a daily basis. I usually go into the mountains, and when I walk deeper, I occasionally encounter wild boars, and everyone knows that wild boars are not easy to deal with, so the reason why I have to prepare drugs is completely for self-defense. ”
"Okay, Uncle Li, I'll just believe that you were so confident that you took it with you without opening it to see what was inside. But don't you think you have too many doubts and denials when I suspect that this graveyard may have been excavated?! ”
"It is said that the renovation of the cemetery may be the work of wild beasts, and that no one wants to have a body that has been buried for seven years, so it is impossible for the grave to be stolen. At first glance, this sounds like a lot of sense, but when you think about it, it seems strange to me. Xia Shuanghan turned to Lin Xiran as he said and confirmed: "Young Master Lin, you said that you and Uncle Li have known each other for more than ten years, and Uncle Li has been serving as the forest keeper of the vast mountain for more than ten years, right?" ”
"Yes." Lin Xiran nodded affirmatively.
In other words, Uncle Li must know these villagers who were buried in the ground only seven years ago. So, what was his first reaction when he heard that the bodies of these acquaintances he had known for several years had been dug up after death? Shouldn't his first instinct be to inspect the grave so that he can report it to the government as soon as he confirms that the grave has been stolen? But no. ”
Uncle Li's reaction was to refute my conjectures with endless questions and denials! This reaction is really strange, after all, even if he has a bad relationship with the villagers of this village, he should go to the cemetery for the reward of the government, right? ”
"Why don't I want to come down and check it out?" Uncle Li still confessed with a face full of injustice: "I just haven't heard that bones can be stolen, so I can't believe it for a while!" ”
"Oh...... So that's the case? Xia Shuanghan dragged out his tone and continued: "But when I mentioned to you the reward for sharing the report equally, didn't your reaction be very strange? In the case that it is very likely that you will get a bounty, and when your own family is so poor that you don't even have decent furniture, what is your top priority, Uncle Li? ”
"Shouldn't you ask how much the bounty is, or how you plan how to spend it? After all, the reward is calculated according to the number of stolen corpses, so many villagers have been poached, how much should this reward be! But you didn't ask these questions, and the question you were most concerned about was the sentence of the thief! Isn't that strange? ”
"I ...... I didn't know that there could be so much bounty. ”
"Is that really the case?"
"What is it that way or not? What exactly are you trying to say? ”
"I mean......" Xia Shuanghan looked back at Lin Xiran to make sure he had been listening to the conversation, so he continued: "If you imagine Uncle Li, you are an accomplice of the thieves, don't you think all this will become more convincing?" The reason why you cook too much is because you have to prepare food for your accomplices who are digging up bones in this graveyard. ”
"I walked behind me with a dagger and a drug, so that I could be caught and used to coerce Lin Gongzi. I asked a bunch of questions crookedly to prevent Lin Gongzi and I from being suspicious of the renovated cemetery. Asking about the sentence of the thief is to determine whether it is worth killing us for the sake of a few bones. Do you think my explanation sounds reasonable? ”
"Miss Xia, it's too much for you to turn black and white upside down like this and spew blood, right?!" Uncle Li's face was full of humiliation and anger, and he said in a cold voice: "According to what Miss Xia said, if I want to do something to you, why don't I do it when the three of us walk from the slope to this graveyard?" After all, at that time, I was still at the back, and there was a chance, didn't I? ”
"No, you don't." Xia Shuanghan raised a finger and shook it: "When I went down the slope, I walked to the front first, and I turned back from time to time to talk to you and Lin Gongzi, even if you wanted to, you didn't have a chance." With a dagger? You can't beat Lin Gongzi. With drugs? The downhill journey is full of headwinds! ”
"And after we arrived at the cemetery, Lin Gongzi stayed away from you because he wanted to investigate around, and I deliberately avoided you from a distance. What do you think are the odds of you succeeding in that situation? So, instead of taking the plunge in this graveyard, spend all your energy on the question of how we can keep us from doubting you." After all, as long as you deal with us, you can find another chance to do it on the way down the mountain to report the crime, right? ”
"It's ...... It's nonsense! Uncle Li was so angry that even the muscles at the corners of his mouth began to tremble, but even so, he couldn't stop Xia Shuanghan from continuing.
"Lin Gongzi, from the time we arrived at the foot of the vast mountain to see Uncle Li, to the time when Uncle Li was knocked out by me. Is there anything about him that arouses your suspicions? ”
Lin Xiran pondered for a moment and confessed, "No." ”
"I don't know if you have noticed Lin Gongzi, when someone is asked about a certain past, before this person makes an answer about this past, he will always stop and think about it like Lin Gongzi. The greater the implications of his question, the greater the impact of his answer, the longer the silence of the person being questioned. ”
After all, they need to figure out whether they can take responsibility for what they say. But when Lin Gongzi asked Uncle Li, what suspicious people have you seen in the last few **** days, what is his performance? Without even thinking about it, he asserted that he hadn't seen it, and even began to impatiently pick himself out. So, isn't it worth my suspicion of such a response? ”
"Lin Gongzi, you just said that the perpetrator of the robbery has been digging in this cemetery for many days, and he should still be in this cemetery even before we enter the mountain. Personally, I think they're still here after we went into the mountains. Xia Shuanghan said and held up a broken forsythia flower she found on the graveyard to Lin Xiran, and said, "Lin Gongzi, look, this forsythia flower was obviously trampled on not long ago, because the flower juice in the broken petals is still half dry, so the whole petal is muddy-shaped. You know, it's a windy and rainy spring, and if it weren't for the fact that the person who trampled on the flowers had just left, how could the damaged parts of the flowers still be half-dry? ”
