Lin Xiran took the broken forsythia flower from Xia Shuanghan's hand, looked at it carefully, and nodded for Xia Shuanghan to continue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"After seeing this forsythia flower, I put myself in my shoes, I thought, if I were a thief, would I choose to commit a crime in the graveyard in broad daylight? The answer is, no, because it's too risky to do so. ”

"Yes, it is true that this village in the vast mountains is rarely visited by passers-by, so it is not impossible for the thieves to choose to do it during the day in order to collect intact bones that are not protected by coffins and may have been scattered everywhere. However, there is a problem with this. The thieves could indeed find two people to hide at each end of the path passing through the village, and once they found someone approaching, they would send a secret signal to the gravediggers to disguise the scene, and then quickly conceal it. However, passers-by can control it, but what about the forest guards? ”

"Uncle Li, who guards the vast mountain, knows this area well, and he also has a dog at home. What if Uncle Li didn't take the path, but crossed the hillside from the unknown? What if the person who was guarding the side of the road was found by Uncle Li's dog? ”

"Knowing that there are so many hidden dangers, the thieves still dare to act in the daytime, isn't it because Uncle Li is their accomplice? After we entered the mountain, Uncle Li, who had been silent for more than half an hour, but suddenly sang when we approached this cemetery, wasn't he sending a signal to the thieves through his singing? ”

"Bloody mouth! It's bloody! Uncle Li finally burst into a rage, "Miss Xia, the so-called empty words have no evidence, and the investigation of the case is based on evidence!" ”

"Evidence? Didn't I say it at the beginning, if someone searches your cabin, you should be able to find the money from the sale of bones. Xia Shuanghan said this, seeing that Uncle Li's face was still unmoved, he said with a flash of inspiration: "If you can't find it, you can go to the casino brothel and ask, maybe the silver has been spent by you?" Or do you actually want to redeem a good Qinglou girl? Or will you take the money and hire some little widow? Oh, I don't care about this, let Lord Yao beat you a few boards, and it is estimated that you will recruit them all. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Li's face was distorted, I don't know if it was because Xia Shuanghan was annoyed and angry when he told him where the stolen money went, or if he was simply frightened by Xia Shuanghan's outrageous words.

"Uncle Li, actually, if I can't find anything in you after knocking you unconscious, then I may suspect that everything is just my care. However, the dagger and the drug are genuine, so ......" Xia Shuanghan swallowed the unfinished words and turned to Lin Xiran: "Lin Gongzi, after listening to all my reasons, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Miss Xia, I admit that everything you said is very reasonable, and I have also decided to check Uncle Li after I go back today. Only, I have one last question. ”

"You say."

"Miss Xia, you slapped Uncle Li in the ear when he was about to wake up, what is this for?"

"Oh, that's it." Xia Shuanghan couldn't help laughing, "When you ascend to the hall in the yamen, don't the hall officials always shoot the shocking wood first?" I've always thought it was fun to take a picture, so I've always wanted to take a look. But I couldn't shoot it, so I had to slap it instead. ”

"Poof." This time, Lin Xiran couldn't help laughing.

"Lin Gongzi, now that we have reached a consensus that 'Uncle Li is suspicious', is it time to go down the mountain?" Xia Shuanghan said and put the water bladder and stone paperweight into the cloth bag, and then put the cloth bag on his shoulder, and said: "I will carry the things on my own on the way back, please take Uncle Li to the head, and be vigilant against possible ambushes along the way while preventing Uncle Li from escaping, is this an arrangement?" ”

"Yes." Lin Xiran nodded yes, then turned to Uncle Li, bent down to untie his acupoint, and said: "Uncle Li, although I personally don't fully believe that you are really one of the perpetrators of this skeleton theft case, after all, everything that Miss Xia said just now is just her conjecture and there is no real evidence, but it is undeniable that all of Miss Xia's analysis is very reasonable. So ......"

"Of course, you can rest assured that Jingzhao Yin Yamen will not let go of any bad person, and will never wronged any good person. If it is found out afterwards that Uncle Li and you are wronged, then Miss Xia and I will definitely come to the door with heavy gifts to apologize. But for now, let's keep you tied up. ”

Uncle Li, who was still tied with his hands behind his back after unlocking the acupoint, was expressionless, perhaps at this time he was feeling resentful that he was being treated like this; Perhaps it was because he knew that he was in danger of escape, so he was more silent than dead, and he was too lazy to argue; More perhaps, he was quietly thinking in his mind about how to escape, and how to survive after escaping.

But anyway, in Xia Shuanghan's opinion, everything she can do has been done. As for whether she will be retaliated against by Uncle Li in the future? Xia Shuanghan decided to think about this problem after going home.

The group that embarked on the return journey was headed by Uncle Li, and Xia Shuang was the queen of the palace. Uncle Li, whose hands were still firmly tied by the belt, did not have a situation where his pants could not be hung, after all, the pants were directly worn with a string trouser belt, so even if he untied the belt outside, his pants would not fall off.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Xia Shuanghan only felt more tired walking all the way than when he came. She was full of energy when she came, and although she felt strange about some of Uncle Li's behavior, she was still able to devote most of her mind to enjoying the scenery. But now on the way back, everything is different.

Xia Shuanghan had already consumed a lot of physical strength, but he had to look around distractedly while he was busy hurrying with heavy loads, and he turned back frequently to prevent someone from sneaking up from behind. So, Lin Xiran, who couldn't bear to see Xia Shuanghan make himself so tired, couldn't help but speak.

"Miss Xia, why are you so sure that someone will come to attack us quietly?" When stepping on a relatively flat and wide mountain road, Lin Xiran, who restrained Uncle Li and made him slow down a little, asked the doubts in his heart.

"I'm not sure it's okay at all! I'm just suspicious. "I died in my previous life because of someone else's plot, and I don't dare to be careless in this life." The reason why I suspect that the skeleton thieves will attack us on the way down the mountain is actually very simple, except that all this speculation is based on the fact that Uncle Li is an accomplice of the skeleton thieves. So, Lin Gongzi, do you really want to listen to these speculations that have no evidence at all? ”

"Miss Xia, please speak." Lin Xiran didn't raise any objections to Xia Shuanghan's speculation, he just wanted to hear the following.

"That's right, didn't I say just now, the people who excavated the cemetery hurriedly disguised the scene after hearing Uncle Li's singing, and then hid. So will they go far after they hide? I don't think so. Xia Shuanghan said and looked at Uncle Li, who was being guarded by Lin Xiran, and continued: "First, Uncle Li's act of preparing to bring them lunch shows that they were ready to continue digging in the graveyard after lunch. ”

"Second, even if someone passes by, as long as Uncle Li's inducement goes smoothly and the passers-by do not suspect the renovated cemetery, then the prisoners who are hiding can continue the unfinished work after the passers-by leave, and the original plan will not be disrupted at all. Thirdly, if the excavation of the graveyard is revealed, and Uncle Li really intends to attack us to prevent us from reporting the crime, then the thieves hiding nearby can support us if necessary. So based on the above three points, I speculate that when I just knocked Uncle Li unconscious, the hidden robbers did not go far. ”

"At that time, at the cemetery, Uncle Li failed to catch me at the first time and use me to coerce you Lin Gongzi, which is already a missed opportunity. In the circumstances that were unfavorable to him at the time, Uncle Li probably took advantage of our inattention to give a secret message to his accomplices, suggesting that they should be calm and impatient, so that he would have time to stabilize us and maintain our trust in him, and then attack us on the way back. ”

"It's a pity that Uncle Li couldn't say a few words to Lin Gongzi, and he was quickly knocked out by me. With such a loss of one man, it would undoubtedly be foolish for the thieves to break out of their hiding place and engage in hand-to-hand combat with us on open ground. Therefore, their best choice at that time was a long-range projection weapon such as a bow and arrow. ”
