Chapter 241: Poor Place
Although Li Rizhi and Zhao Jian are not very familiar with each other, Zhao Jian does not wear linen clothes, but Li Rizhi knows this, those who wear linen clothes are poor, almost destitute, and Zhao Jian is definitely not poor, he can afford to read and pay the travel expenses to Beijing, so he cannot be said to be almost poor.
Li Ri knew: "This is very likely to be the murderer, so it means that the murderer is very poor, almost destitute." Of course, if you are rich, you will not come out in the middle of the night to block the road and rob, but this range is narrowed! ”
Fu Guibao said: "Yes, what the eldest brother said is true, let's go and find out, there is anyone in the vicinity who was originally very poor, and suddenly became rich, isn't it okay, the murderer must be that person!" ”
Li Rizhi waved his hand and said: "Suddenly got that a lot of money, there is a chance that seven or eight times out of ten will hide it first, it is impossible to take it out immediately and spend it, maybe it will wait for a year and a half, how can we have so much time to wait!" ”
Zhao Xiaofu came up and said, "The little one listened to a few Lang Jun and felt that he was poor and a person with strong legs and feet, could it be a sedan chair man, or a porter coolie?" ”
This Zhao Xiaofu is quite clever, Li Rizhi nodded at him and said: "You said well, but it can only be that one of them is so, and the other person is ordinary, and he can't judge what to do." ”
After saying this, Li Rizhi lowered his head and searched for it in the grass on the side of the road nearby, trying to find out if there were any other clues, but he didn't have much hope, this is next to the main road, where people come and go, even if there were any clues at that time, it is estimated that they have disappeared now.
The vegetation in this area is not very vigorous, and there are some low shrubs at most, so even if you can't find a clue, you won't waste much time looking at it.
Li Rizhi looked for it with the attitude of giving it a try, but after looking for a while, he found half a dice in the grass, he picked up this half dice, and found that this dice was very special, the same size as ordinary dice, but it was broken in half, and the fracture was very new, it should have been broken in the past few days.
Fu Guibao came over, he didn't like gambling very much, but there were several pairs of dice, all of which were very valuable, and they were used for collection, he looked at the dice in Li Rizhi's hand, and said: "This is a dice ground out of cow bones, and it is the kind of dice that are specially used for cheating." ”
I saw that this half of the dice is made of cow bones, because it is broken, so you can see the structure inside, this dice is dug out of a small hole, there is a small lead block in the small hole, the lead block is very small, but the lead is heavier than the cow bone, so if you throw the dice, the side with the lead block is heavy, it will hit the ground first, so as to achieve the purpose of cheating.
Li Rizhi took the dice and observed it carefully, and said, "Look for the other half, it should be not far from here!" ”
Fu Guibao and the others immediately separated, each looking for a piece, and after a while, Chen Yingying shouted: "Found it, there is still half of it here!" She picked up the half of the dice, ran over, and handed it to Li Rizhi.
Li Rizhi put the two halves of the dice together, and it was indeed a complete one, but for some reason, it broke into two halves, and he said: "Could this dice be dropped by the murderer, if it was dropped by the murderer, then the murderer is a bad gambler!" ”
Can be used as a cheat, generally speaking, it is a bad gambler, there are not too many entertainment activities in this era, even if it is to lose, come and go is just a few, just eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, this dice does not mean gambling!
The scope of finding the murderer is a little smaller, poor, almost destitute, with strong legs and feet, and a bad gambler, so a few things are combined, and the outline of a murderer will probably appear in front of everyone's eyes.
Li Rizhi looked at the village and town in the distance, and then looked around, the closest thing was the small village and town, although other villages and towns were not too far away, but the closest to here was only that one village and town.
Li Ri knew: "Let's go to that town and see if there is a gambling house in the town, maybe we can find some clues!" ”
He turned his head again and said to Zhao Xiaofu: "You go home first, you don't have to follow us, you keep your mouth tight, don't tell irrelevant people what happened here, so as not to leak the news." ”
Zhao Xiaofu really wanted to follow and have a look, but when he heard Li Rizhi say this, he had no choice but to agree, leave the main road, and return to Liyang County.
Li Rizhi walked to the town and said: "Generally speaking, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, even if there is a strong man who wants to rob the road and make a fortune, he will not do this kind of thing at his own door, but rotten gamblers are different, this kind of person dares to do anything, and he is reckless!" ”
Fu Guibao said: "There are so many of us to investigate, it is easy to startle the snake, it is better to pretend to be a gambler, go to gamble, then it will not attract the attention of others, I have some gold and silver on me, just to show the white, attract the attention of others!" ”
Cheng Zizi said: "I know what you mean, but I don't think it can be so easy!" You went to the casino and showed your name, and then you were seen by the murderer, and the murderer came out to rob you, and then we caught you, you mean that, right? ”
Fu Guibao smiled: "Don't look at this simple trick, the simpler the better, maybe you can catch the murderer at once!" ”
Chen Yingying stood on Cheng Zizi's side and said: "What if the murderer is not from this town, what if he didn't go to the gambling house today, in case your money is exposed, and you don't let the murderer see it, but you attract other wicked people and rob you, what should I do?" ”
Cheng Zizi smiled and said, "What should you do if that wicked person robs the money and wants to rob you again?" ”
"Rob my sex? Alas, how bad the eyes of the wicked man were, and if that were the case, then I would have no choice but to obey! Fu Guibao shook his head and sighed.
Quan Shufang followed behind a few of them and kept silent, at this time, he said: "Even if your eyes are good, but the black light is blind, it is difficult to distinguish the beautiful from the ugly!" ”
Fu Guibao narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you saying that I don't look good?" Okay, then I won't pay for dinner today, whoever looks good, who pays well! ”
"I'll pay!" Chen Yingying said triumphantly.
After a short time, I arrived at this town, the town is medium, there is an earthen fence outside the town that can reach people's shoulders, and the town is enclosed, this wall is not used to prevent people, it is used to prevent wolves, it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and several places have collapsed, but this does not affect safety, and there are no wolves in the Gyeonggi area for a long time.
The houses in the town are low and dilapidated, and it seems that this used to be a place where the army was stationed, at least before the Sui Dynasty, and now the army is long gone, and it has become an ordinary people's family, but the people who live here are obviously not too wealthy.
After entering the town, they walked around with a little effort, however, they were all disappointed that there were no gambling houses here, and there were even very few men in the town, most of them were old people and women, and there were children running around the ground!
