Chapter 50: Xinglong Street Tengu Heart-Eating Incident [II]
A hairy tengu with a mouthful of human teeth - no matter how you think about it, it seems a little funny!
Therefore, Jia Yucun couldn't help but blurt out: "In this way, Ge Shilang was killed by someone, not by some tengu asking for his life?" β
"Of course!"
Sun Shaozong said disdainfully: "It was someone who killed Ge Shilang and learned to bark in the room, intending to disguise himself as a tengu to ask for his life!" It's a pity that his arrangement is too clumsy, but instead of playing a role in covering up, it completely exposes the horse's feet! β
Poor?
Except for Sun Shaozong himself, I am afraid that no one in the audience would use the word 'clumsy' to describe these arrangements - in fact, if it weren't for Sun Shaozong himself, it would be impossible to see any flaws from a ball of meat foam!
It's just that......
"Sun Tong's sentence."
I heard Ge Shilang's eldest son Ge Xiaorui question: "You just said that after the murderer killed his father, he hid in the house and learned to bark as a dog?" But if that's the case, when we arrived in the courtyard, the murderer should still be in the house, so how did he disappear from the house out of thin air? β
"That's right!"
The second son, Ge Xiaoxian, also helped: "When we knocked on the door, except for the body of our father, we didn't talk about people, even hairs...... I didn't even see a single figure! β
He wanted to say, 'I didn't even see a single hair', but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the handful of dog hair, so he hurriedly changed the following lines.
The remaining third elder Ge Xiaoyi and fourth elder Ge Xiaowen also raised questions.
The godly Aunt Zhang, who had been beaten silently, saw that Sun Shaozong had suddenly become the target of the public, and suddenly trembled again, and shouted in a sharp voice: "I'll just say it!" It must have been Tengu who killed the old man, otherwise, how could it disappear without a trace under the noses of all of us?! β
Seeing that the 'Tengu Seeking Life' theory that had just been overthrown, it was noisy again for a while, and even Jia Yucun and others became suspicious again.
If you want to break feudal superstitions, you really have a long way to go!
Sun Shaozong smiled helplessly, pointed to the bedroom and said, "Actually, if you want to disappear from this bedroom out of thin air, it's not as difficult as you thinkβif you don't believe it, everyone will understand it if you come in with me." β
As he spoke, he called Zhou Da to explain a few words, and then walked into the bedroom first.
Everyone also hurriedly followed the fish in, and saw Sun Shaozong stretching out his hand and pointing to the corpse and the bath bucket, and said: "Actually, when I first saw the corpse and the bath bucket, I felt a little strange, even if I wanted to wash away the remaining clues on the corpse, I didn't need to scoop out the water of the entire bath bucket, right?" β
"You know, no matter how you scoop water out of the tub, it's going to be extra troublesome when you get to the bottom, and it makes sense to say that the murderer doesn't need to scoop the water dry at all - unless he has another purpose!"
"Following these suspicions, I carefully investigated the scene, and finally found that the reason why the murderer repeatedly washed his chest with water was not to clean up the traces on the corpse, but to achieve two other purposes!"
"Two other purposes?"
"That's right!"
Sun Shaozong stretched out two fingers and continued to talk: "First of all, the first purpose is to cover up the fact that he once took a bath in the bathtub after he killed people......
"Wait!"
Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, the Aunt Zhang jumped out again and questioned with a sharp voice: "How do you know that the murderer once took a bath in the tub?" β
"Because of the red marks on the inside of the tub, of course!"
Sun Shaozong walked to the bath bucket, pointed to the inside of the bucket, and said: "Although the murderer pretended to clean the body and splashed all the water in the bucket on the ground, he didn't notice that in fact, when he was also taking a bath, the dirty blood on his body was already inside the bath barrel, dyed a circle of light red traces!" β
Everyone went up to check one by one, and sure enough, they found that there was a very inconspicuous light red trace on the inside of the barrel, near the top! β
Everyone else was amazed by Sun Shaozong's insight, but Aunt Zhang still questioned unconvinced: "Then how can you be sure that this trace was stained when taking a bath, and not accidentally made by the murderer when scooping water?" β
This woman is so messing around, it can't be that she has a ghost in her heart, right?
Sun Shaozong silently listed her as the first suspect, then put his hand into the bath bucket, hung it at the level of the red mark, and tapped the corpse on the ground with his chin, and said: "With Ge Shilang's rich size, if there was so much bath water in the bath bucket, what would happen to him after he went in?" β
"It's going to overflow!"
Zhao Wuxing was the first to reply: "Don't say it's Lord Shilang, even if it's a small one, I'm afraid it will overflow a lot of water." β
"That's right!"
Sun Shaozong took advantage of the situation to spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders at Aunt Zhang, and said, "The subordinates of your mansion shouldn't be negligent to such a point, right?" So this layer of traces must have been left by the murderer after soaking in! β
At this time, Aunt Zhang finally had no words, so she had to retreat behind the people stupidly.
Sun Shaozong raised two fingers again and said: "In addition to covering up the traces of the bath, his other purpose is to make the scene more chaotic and terrifying, so that others can completely ignore his tricks!" β
"Tricks?"
Jia Yucun deserved to be the tallest of the two merchants among the people present, and when he heard this, he suddenly pointed out the key to the matter: "What does my brother mean, could it be that the murderer actually disappeared from the room at all?" What kind of trick did you use to hide it from everyone's eyes?! β
"That's right!"
Sun Shaozong paced back and forth, and said in a chiseled manner: "The murderer first stabbed Ge Shilang to death with a sharp weapon naked, disemboweled him and stripped out his heart, arranged him to look like he was killed by a tengu, and then washed off the bloodstains in the bathtub, and then put on his clothes......"
He paused, stretched out his hand and pointed behind the door, and said, "Hide behind the door and learn to bark, and when someone breaks down the door, then quietly blend in!" β
Before Sun Shaozong's words fell, everyone in the room was already in an uproar!
"This ...... How is this possible?! β
"yes, if someone is hiding behind the door, how can we not see it?!"
Even Jia Yucun, who had just taken the initiative to put forward the hypothesis, shook his head at this time, only feeling that what Sun Shaozong said was as absurd and bizarre as a fantasy.
Alas~
A group of people who have not watched "Young Bao Qingtian" want to understand the essence of this plan, and it is really a little difficult.
Fortunately, he was prepared!
"Everyone!"
Sun Shaozong raised his voice and asked loudly: "Didn't you notice that there is actually a person in the house who shouldn't have existed but got in halfway?" β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, but I really can't see who is someone who 'shouldn't exist'.
In the end, a thin little guy took the initiative to stand up, and in front of the Ge Xiaorui brothers, he hunched his waist and sneered: "A few masters, the little one is the one who came in halfway - because when he slammed the door and came in, the little one was not present, so he was not called over by the official master for questioning." β
As he spoke, he pointed to Zhou Da again and said, "Fang is the official who found the little one, let the little one sneak into the house, and the little one is ......."
"How is that possible?!"
Without waiting for the Ge brothers to react, the old housekeeper of the Shilang Mansion shook his head first: "Liu Rui, you are the master's personal servant, how could you not be there when you smashed the door?!" β
"This ......"
Liu Rui was about to explain, but the two familiar guys next to him had already come to their senses, and hurriedly said: "Old housekeeper, Brother Liu was really not there at that time!" Because he had a stomach fuss in the middle of the night, he squatted in the hut for half an hour, and he just missed it! β
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar, both feeling incredible, but they had to believe it.
"Everyone should understand by now, right?"
Sun Shaozong's eagle vulture also swept his gaze over the people of Ge Mansion one by one, and finally Sen Ran sneered: "The real murderer who killed Ge Shilang is among you people!" β
