723 What's the Motive?
[One shift today, slowly, two shifts tomorrow. ] γ
The person who triggered the mechanism was either in the alley or in the courtyard at the bottom of the alley?!
Huang Bin was shocked when he heard this, and he forgot about his superiority and humility for a while, and blurted out and questioned: "My lord, you can't be mistaken, right?!" β
It's no wonder that he reacted like this, before Sun Shaozong and the others rushed over, the alley had already been blocked, and all the people who could enter and exit were the officials of the government.
Sun Shaozong's words just now, didn't he mean that among the officials present at the time, there were actually fellow thieves, and even intended to assassinate high-ranking officials of the fourth grade? !
This......
How is this possible?!
However, after questioning, Huang Bin quickly reacted - Mo said that Master Sun had a reputation for divine judgment, even if he was just an ordinary official who did not know the name of punishment, how could he tolerate the questioning of the officials in person?
Thinking of this, Huang Bin's knees suddenly weakened, he knelt down in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Villain...... The villain is clumsy for a while, and he has no other meaning! β
As he spoke, he slapped his two big mouths hard.
Sun Shaozong didn't pay attention to him, but stared at the crossbow on the wall and frowned, first carefully looking at the middle and upper parts, then slowly moving his gaze down, and then his head and neck, waist pole......
In the end, he was almost completely unfigured, lying under the wallβand his gaze was fixed on a hole that was almost close to the ground.
It's the only hole that doesn't have a crossbow, but it could never have been used for prying eyes - unless what the dead wanted to see was dirt in the alley across the wall.
Looking at the slender traces on the inside of the cave wall, Sun Shaozong's brows became tighter and tighter.
This small hole is very likely to be the fuse of Fang Cai's killing.
And......
It was also given the purpose of recovering incriminating evidence!
As mentioned before, there were traces of something rubbing on the brackets of those hand crossbows, and the marks on each bracket were slightly different.
What's different is where the friction marks are.
The hand crossbow on the left side of the earthen wall, the friction mark is on the upper left of the bracket; on the right, it appears in the upper right; The one in the center appears directly above......
At first glance, it may sound like all nonsense.
But it actually vaguely indicates where the 'fuse' of the pull bracket extends from - if the thief is operating from the front, the main force surface is undoubtedly the inside of the bracket, not biased upward.
Now these traces fully prove that the force of the pulling bracket actually comes from the foot of the earthen wall, that is, this hole that is almost close to the ground!
And after the crossbow was triggered, the 'fuses' tied to the bracket were further torn off by the murderer, and then passed through the hole.
The evidence is that the traces of the lines in the holes are almost all around the walls of the holes, which must be the traces that are possible when many threads pass through the holes at the same time.
Sun Shaozong Huo Ran got up, and under Huang Bin's puzzled gaze, he took a few steps back, grabbed the earthen wall with a run, and neatly turned back into the alley.
Jumping to the ground against the south wall, Sun Shaozong immediately lowered his body again and looked at the hole that was close to the ground.
But the ground was empty, and there was no trace of any thread slipping.
What's going on here?
It stands to reason that since the 'lead' was triggered from outside the hole, it should leave some traces.
Even if it was laid out at the beginning, it didn't leave a trace on the ground, and when all the threads were pulled out later, it should have left a trace.
It's really weird, isn't that trace gone......
Wait a minute!
Sun Shaozong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he didn't bother to get up, he moved five or six steps away with his hands and feet, stretched out his hand to grasp a ball of air, but he really wanted to pinch something in the palm of his hand, and slowly pulled it with his body.
Wrong!
It shouldn't be pulled like this, because it's too conspicuous.
Sun Shaozong stopped what he was doing, thought about it for a while, and a few fingers began to roll strangely again, as if he was constantly wrapping something around his hand.
In the middle of the sound, he suddenly stopped all movements, then suddenly reached into his arms, and grabbed it with his left hand.
Yes!
Ying Ah is right!
As long as the string that triggers the mechanism is arranged a little above the ground in advance, when pulled at the back, it is always tight, and finally when those 'ring sets' are stuck in the hole, they pull it out with one fell swoop.
In this way, you can leave no traces, and the string on the bracket will be put into the bag without a trace.
If that's the case, there should be a ...... around here
Sun Shaozong turned around and began to search the ground.
In a short time, he pulled out a slender iron wedge from not far away.
And so it was!
This is supposed to be the thing that was originally used to hold the 'leads'.
But if that's the case, isn't that the only one who can do it?
But that doesn't make sense, does it?
Let's not say that he has no reason to attack Dao Yan's master and apprentice, even if there is really any unsightly reason, he shouldn't harm his own uncle, right?
He is a famous filial son in the capital!
That's right, the object of Sun Shaozong's suspicion at the moment is Su Xingfang, who died of his maternal uncle and went away in grief.
He was the only one who had the opportunity to stumble and pounce on his uncle, and then help the corpse cry to untie the rope on the iron wedge, and then quietly retract those threads.
Now that I think about it, he is still wearing a big hat outside, let alone Sun Shaozong, even the two errand officers in front of the right are difficult to see his every move clearly.
At that time, it was in the midst of chaos, and the alley was already dark, and this method in full view of everyone also had the prerequisites for completion.
But what about his motives?!
What motive did Su Xingfang have to concoct such a trap and compensate his maternal uncle for life?
In fact, it's just my mother's uncle, and I can barely explain it by surviving with a broken tail.
But if Sun Shaozong hadn't made a timely move at that time, he himself would have suffered a few poisoned arrows!
If all this was really designed by him, how could he not be wary of it?
He couldn't have set up these organs just to bring himself to the funeral, right?
Or did he think he would definitely save him?
But at that time, even Sun Shaozong himself might not be able to dodge it......
Doesn't make sense!
It really doesn't make sense!
The traces of the scene all show Su Xingfang's suspicion, but his actions really don't look like the culprit behind all this.
"Your Excellency."
Chen Jingde, who was frowning, squatting on the ground and meditating, finally relieved himself on the side, cautiously came up and inquired: "The bloodstains in the house, do you think we still can't check it?" β
"Check, of course you have to check!"
Sun Shaozong Huo Ran got up and ordered: "You take that Huang Bin and investigate carefully here!" β
"As for the official......
"I can't say that there are still some things, I have to talk about it with Su Zhi County!" ()
