The main street of the county is paved with stone slabs, the wooden buildings of shops on both sides, the door panels facing the street are all carved door panels, soaked with traces of time, moss grows in the corners of the steps under the door panels, the old man and the old lady with a deflated mouth, the face is engraved with wrinkles, the head is wrapped with Papa, lying on the bamboo chair basking in the rare warm sun in winter, the body moves, the bamboo chair creaks, and occasionally a dog of whose family scures out, wagging his tail and going away.

If there were no murders, this small town would be a quiet place.

According to the old policeman's instructions, Luo Yin and Su San walked out of the back door of the American Academy and walked west along the main street of the county seat, intending to go to the small river that Wei Yan said.

"Miss Su, Mr. Luo."

Wang Ma leaned out of the Dai restaurant. The last time I had dinner at Dao Meixiu's house was at night, and it was the first time I came here, Su San's sense of orientation was not strong, and now I thought: Oh, yes, Dao Meixiu's house is on this street.

"Mom Wang, things are going well."

Su San asked.

"Okay, the proprietress is really a good person, and the eldest lady of this family is also kind."

Wang's mother was carrying a large washed mustard green, and the mustard root was tied with a straw rope, and it seemed that she planned to take advantage of the good sun to hang it at the door to dry.

Wait a minute! Straw rope!

Su San smelled the spicy taste of mustard greens and also smelled the sweetness of pampas grass.

She looked at Wang Ma's hand: "Wang Ma, I want to see this mustard green." ”

"Dried vegetables, look how fresh this is."

Mother Wang thought that the young lady in the city had never seen such a big vegetable and was curious, so she handed the mustard greens to Su San.

Su San and Luo Yin's eyes both fell on the straw rope tied to the mustard greens. The rope is made of three strands of cattail straw with the same knot at both ends.

Yes, the familiar way of tying the knot. Three knots, the first is a flat knot, that is, it consists of two single knots in opposite directions, and then a larger knot on top of the flat knot, and at the same time this knot and the second knot tied in the opposite direction! The knotting method is exactly the same as the straw rope that strangled Qin Meiyu!

Su San opened his eyes wide and asked, "This straw rope is really good, so smooth and delicate." ”

"Yes, the young lady of this house, Yao is the young lady who is a nurse, and she is skillful. The rope is also sturdy, and it won't break no matter how you pull it! ”

The young lady who worked as a nurse. Su San looked at Luo Yin, and the latter's eyes also flashed with surprise.

"There are a lot of ropes like this here." Su San asked.

"Well, the river in front is full of grass, and Miss Daojia has made a lot of such ropes."

Su San and Luo Yin said goodbye to Wang Ma and continued to walk towards the river.

"Be careful." Luo Yin saw that Su San was in a trance, tripped over the upturned stone slab, and hurriedly reached out to grab her arm.

Su San nodded, and shook his head again: "No, Dao Meixiu won't kill people, she doesn't look like she can have anything to do with the deceased." ”

"If Wei Yan is telling the truth, when the first deceased, Du Yanmei, was killed, he saw Dao Meixiu by the river, then these two people can testify to each other, which means that both of them have alibi evidence to rule out suspicion."

"What about Qin Meiyu? Du Yanmei is not sure if she was strangled to death by a rope of grass, but Qin Meiyu was really strangled by such a rope, and Dao Meixiu is suspicious. ”

Su San still felt sad.

"You also heard what Mother Wang said, there are a lot of such ropes in the Dao family, and there will be no fewer people going to her house to eat, and it is not strange that someone takes it away, we will continue to investigate whether Dao Meixiu had an alibi when Qin Meiyu died, and there must always be a reason for the killing, what is the contradiction between her and Qin Meiyu? These need to be understood before making a judgment. ”

Su San sighed: "In short, the straw rope that strangled Qin Meiyu is very likely to have been made by the knife nurse, in my heart, it's really not a taste." ”

Walking to the end of the street, sure enough, there was a river in front of me, and the cattails on both sides of the river bank were very luxuriant, swaying gently in the wind.

Luo Yin looked at the watch on his wrist: "We walked out of the backyard of the American College, and it took one hour and five minutes to walk to the Daojia Restaurant, and it took thirteen minutes to get here from the Daojia Restaurant. Looking at it this way, it would have taken nearly an hour. According to the old policeman's on-site investigation, Du Yanmei's body was found at around 1:30 noon, and Qin Meiyu went to the studio to find her. And Wei Yan said that he would go to the river to take pictures after lunch, it was around one o'clock at noon, judging from the time, Wei Yan was indeed not a murderer. ”

Su San sighed: "But we have to find Dao Meixiu to make sure that she saw Wei Yan here around noon that day." ”

The two of them walked back to the hospital the same way, and Dao Mihide was bandaging the wounds of a mountain man who looked like a hunter. He made a big cut on his leg, and after the knife Meixiu disinfected and medicated, he wrapped the wound with a bandage, and then tied the knot.

Su San's eyes stared at Dao Meixiu's knotted hand. First there are two flat knots, then one in opposite directions. A total of three knots are superimposed. Dao Mixiu's hands are very good-looking, and they fly up and down in knots, like happy butterflies. Su San's heart gradually sank, and it was cold.

Dao Meixiu sent the patient away, looking back at Luo Yin's serious face, while Su San stared at him with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, what's wrong?" But there's news from Dr. Leng's? You're going to release people, aren't you? I've heard that the students at the art college are making a fuss. ”

"Meixiu, the knot you just tied is very special."

Su San's voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, it's called a triple knot, also called a triple knot, which is a kind of knot in surgery, in fact, this knot will be a little defective in surgery, and the ligature head is larger, but my hands are very clumsy, so I can tie this kind of knot with thick benzene spots, and I'm used to it."

"You have a lot of grass ropes in your house, and the knots on them are like this."

Dao Meixiu nodded: "Yes, I've liked to braid since I was a child." ”

She has a cute little round face, a sweet smile, crooked eyebrows, and a warm and generous girl no matter how you look at it.

Su San really didn't know how to continue asking.

"On December 13, the day Du Yanmei was killed, where were you around one o'clock in the afternoon?" Luo Yin asked

"The day before yesterday, the day you came to our hospital?" Dao Meixiu smiled.

"That's right, that day."

"A little more, well, I ate too much for lunch and went to the river for a walk, by the way, I saw that annoying Director Wei of the American Academy there."

"Hey, why do you say he hates it?"

"Because as long as Dr. Leng is present, he looks at Dr. Leng's eyes as if he has suddenly found a big gold mine, looking at a big box of gold, sticky and crooked, especially annoying." Dao Meixiu felt a little strange after answering, "What are you asking for?" Don't? Could it be that the murderer was not Principal Liang but Director Wei? ”

"Your words just prove that Wei Yan didn't have time to commit the crime."

What Su San didn't say was: In fact, it also ruled out the possibility of you killing Du Yanmei.

"Are you familiar with the two art college students who died?"

Luo Yin saw Su San's gloomy expression, so he could only continue to ask by himself.

"I've heard of them." After Dao Meixiu answered this, seeing Luo Yin's interested eyes, she hurriedly explained, "It's not that I heard what Dr. Leng said, Dr. Leng never talked about these rights and wrongs, but heard what other doctors said, and they said behind their backs that Principal Liang and those two girls were unclear, and they all felt sorry for Dr. Leng." I also found that since last year, the relationship between Dr. Leng and Principal Liang has been getting worse and worse. ”

"How did you find out?"

"Principal Liang doesn't come to pick up Dr. Leng from work, and Dr. Leng always locks himself in the office and doesn't pay attention to anyone. Doctor Leng is such a good person, how can Principal Liang be like this? It's too much, where are those two students better than our Doctor Leng! If you want me to say that Principal Liang is simply blind! Such a person, hmph, is not worthy of Doctor Leng at all! Vixens deserve to die! ”

The more Dao Meixiu spoke, the more angry she became, her emotions were a little excited, and her face instantly turned red.

Su San glanced at Luo Yin and drew a question mark in his heart: How could Dao Meixiu be so angry when she mentioned Principal Liang? This kind of anger is exactly the same as Kong Liren in the morning.
