Li Rizhi happened to turn around at this time and saw Wu Eryou's expression, he said, "What, is this window safe?" ”

Wu Eryou hurriedly said: "Before going to bed at night, the window must be plugged in, and there is a bell on this window, as long as this window is moved, the bell will ring!" ”

Saying that, Wu Eryou stepped forward and inserted the small latch on the window frame into the window, and sure enough, there was a crisp clang, and there was a small bell on the latch, although the bell was not large, but the sound was not small!

Li Rizhi sighed and said, "This window was hidden just now, and I didn't touch the latch, so I didn't notice this little bell." ”

Install a small bell on the window, don't look at the small thing, but it does have the effect of anti-theft, of course, it is only to prevent some petty theft, for example, if a thief wants to climb in from this window, as long as you push the window, you don't need to push it open, the window latch moves, it is a clank, the thief will be startled, afraid of alarming the owner, naturally will not dare to come in again.

Li Rizhi toggled a few small bells, and he asked Wu Eryou: "If you forget to insert the window latch, then this little bell will not be useless." ”

Wu Eryou shook his head and said: "This is definitely not, my sister-in-law has to use this room every day, and she is very careful and cautious, so she will never forget!" ”

"Use this room every day?" Li Rizhi sighed again, could it be that Pan's takes a bath every day? However, this is the privacy of the Wu family, and Wu Er is a little uncle, so he can't say it.

Wu Er was a little embarrassed, but still nodded and said: "When I was at home before, my sister-in-law was like this, and the night I came back a few days ago, my sister-in-law was still like this, so I guess it should be like this every day!" ”

Li Rizhi nodded, but he didn't say anything more, he thought to himself: "The murder happened at night, but the Pan family didn't plug in the window latch, is it that the murderer climbed up from here?" However, on the day when Pan's did not insert the window latch, a homicide occurred, which can almost directly prove that the murderer is an acquaintance! ”

The clues in the store have almost been ruined, and now it is hard to find new clues, of course Li Rizhi attaches great importance to it, he carefully looked around the window, but found nothing, but there are no clues in the room, it does not mean that there are no outside the room!

Li Rizhi climbed out of the window, jumped onto the pile of dry firewood, and then looked back to see the wall with the window.

These two footprints were not kicked into the window, that is to say, they were not left by the murderer when he entered the window, but the other way around, when he jumped out of the window, the murderer must have hesitated in the window, afraid that it would be too high below, so it is very likely that his legs came out first, and then he sat on the window, supported by his hands, and observed the following, and then jumped down!

Li Rizhi looked at the two footprints, the footprints were toes hitting the ground, heels facing up, not too obvious, just two scratches, looking at the traces were left a few days ago, although it was not obvious, but for clues, this is enough!

Li Rizhichong, who was still in the room, said: "Who in your family will jump around this window?" You, or your brother, or even your sister-in-law? ”

From Wu Eryou's point of view, he didn't see those two footprints, and he said in surprise: "How can someone in our family jump out of the window, if there is a door and don't leave, how can they jump this?" ”

Li Rizhi hummed, he said: "You come out, you look at the two footprints on this wall, I think they are new footprints, you recall, you have seen it before, or you haven't seen it!" ”

Wu Er was taken aback, there were footprints on this wall, that must not be a good person, he jumped out of the window, and also jumped on the dry pyre, and then looked back at the wall, and naturally saw the footprints on the wall!

Wu Eryou pointed to the footprints and shouted: "This, this must be a bad person, it must be left by the murderer, who jumped in and out from here, how can it be a person from my family, and it is impossible to be a good person!" ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Jump in and out? You can think wrong, it was only jumped out, not jumped in, the murderer should have entered the store through the front door, and then for some reason, he had to jump out of the window and leave! ”

But Li Rizhi didn't say it, and there was no need to make anything clear to Wu Eryou at this time.

Wu Er had a shout, Zheng Gangling and the servants naturally heard it, they all entered the bathroom, looked down, but they couldn't see the footprints clearly, Zheng Gangling couldn't jump out, so he went downstairs and looked around the back from the front door.

At this time, many people in the small market town put down their business and ran over to see the excitement, after all, it was the first time that there was a murder case in the small market town, and the county magistrate came to judge the case in person, so of course they wanted to come over to see the excitement.

Wang Po is the most active in watching the excitement, she ran faster than Zheng Gangling, the first one rushed to the backyard, saw two footprints on the wall, and then saw Li Rizhi!

Wang Po hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said: "Oh, this son, it turns out that you are an official family, the woman was neglected just now, and I hope that the son will forgive her sins!" ”

Li Rizhi jumped down from the stack of firewood that came from one person high, and said with a smile: "Whether you are guilty or not, you have to say it to the county commander, I think you must have stolen the pears scattered on the ground in this store, and even stole the basket, so I'm afraid you are really guilty!" ”

Wang Po instantly showed a shocked expression on her face, and she shouted: "No, no, those pears were not stolen by the people's women, and no one ate them when they were thrown on the ground......

As soon as Li Rizhi heard this, he knew that she had stolen it, and he had stolen all the evidence, how greedy this was, it was estimated that it was sold to passing guests, and she could make a little more money!

At this time, Zheng Gangling, surrounded by the servants, also arrived in the backyard, he looked up at the footprints on the wall, nodded, waved at Li Rizhi, and called the eldest nephew over.

Zheng Gangling waved his hand to keep the servants farther away, and he asked Li Rizhi in a low voice, "How, what clues have you found?" What do these footprints prove? ”

Li Ri knew: "Uncle, I analyzed it like this, this person who jumped out of the window is definitely not from the martial arts, this is certain, and there are only these two footprints on the wall, which means that this person came in from the main entrance, but for some reason, he can only jump out of the window and leave!" ”

Zheng Gangling snorted and said, "What's so hard to guess about this, the thief will definitely not go through the main door!" ”

Li Rizhi sighed, and said: "This person who jumped out of the window left these two footprints, which shows that he doesn't know the situation in the backyard, so he sat on the window for a while, and then his two feet hit the wall, so these two footprints should be left at night, when there is no light."

When Wu Eryou and I jumped down from the window just now, we didn't sit on the window, but stepped on the window, and then jumped down directly, because we can all see this firewood stack and know that it's okay to jump down directly, only people who don't know this firewood stack, and people who jump down when it's dark, will sit on the window, see the situation clearly, and then jump down! ”

Zheng Gangling nodded and said, "This person must have been forced to jump down from here because the front door was blocked and he couldn't get out." I know that you don't have to cover up anything for the martial arts, this is a case, just say anything clearly. ”

Li Rizhi looked at Wu Eryou not far away, Wu Eryou and a group of neighbors who were watching the excitement, especially the Wang Po, were all looking over here, but they couldn't hear what Li Rizhi and Zheng Gangling said.

Li Rizhi said: "Uncle, in my opinion, Wu Dayou didn't go home for a few nights, then Pan couldn't bear the loneliness, and found a lover to come to the house for a private meeting, but he didn't expect that Wu Dayou suddenly went home, and the lover had nowhere to escape, so he had to escape from the bathroom, he was not familiar with the situation in the backyard, so he hesitated for a moment before jumping, so he left footprints on the wall, if it was a thief, then there should be footprints of stepping into the wall, it is impossible to only have footprints out!" ”

Zheng Gangling nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, to become Pan's lover, must be a young and strong person, Pan's is not very old, and her family life is not poor, she is looking for a lover to have fun, it can't be for money, then it should be a person!" ”

Li Rizhi nodded, and whispered again: "In fact, the suspicion of the princess and the shopkeeper of Ximen can be ruled out, although the basket of pears was left at the scene, and they both had pears, but neither of them can be the ones who jumped out of the window!" ”

Wang Po is a woman, let alone the Pan family, even Wu Dayou can't take a fancy to her, and she is an old woman, and the thing of jumping out of the window has absolutely nothing to do with her, so she definitely has no possibility of committing a crime, and looking at the obscene appearance of the shopkeeper of Ximen, it is impossible for the Pan family to fall in love with him!

Zheng Gangling didn't know about Wang Po and Ximen's shopkeeper, so Li Rizhi gave him a few simple words, Zheng Gangling listened, but said: "It may also be one of the two apprentices!" ”

Li Rizhi said: "This is unlikely, if it is one of these two apprentices, then he must be able to go out of the window directly, without pausing to observe the situation below, maybe this firewood pile is piled up by the two of them, and there is no possibility that they are not familiar with it!" ”

Zheng Gangling touched his beard and said with a smile: "Rizhi, it's just a pair of footprints on the back wall, but it can make you analyze so much, if the case is really solved as you said, then Rizhi will really have a bright future for you in the future!" ”

Li Rizhi smiled: "My nephew thinks so too!" ”

"It's so immodest!" Zheng Gangling said with a smile.

Li Rizhi's face turned straight and said: "Now the scope of the murderer's investigation is very small, it must be people from this small market town, it must be a young man who is young and handsome, and the people who meet these two conditions, I am afraid that there are not many people in this small market town!" ”

As long as the scope of the murderer is determined, then one by one is eliminated, and the case has the possibility of being solved!

In the minds of Li Rizhi and Zheng Gangling, a person appeared at the same time, this person completely met the above two conditions, and even had something to do with pears, although pears were not any special evidence!

Zheng Gangling's expression was serious, and he shouted at the officers: "Gather all the people in the town, the three families are guaranteed, identify each other, if there is a lack of men from any family, they must be arrested immediately, and treat him as a murder suspect!" ”

The servants immediately shouted all over the town with sticks and iron rulers, gathered all the people in the small market town, and gathered at the entrance of the Wuji steamed cake shop.

First, the small market town is not big, the population is not large, and secondly, the people in the town are very concerned about this matter, so it only takes a moment to gather all of them at the door of the Wuji steamed cake shop, but there are only about 100 people, which also counts the old people and children, and Wang Po is among them!

The three families are guaranteed to identify each other, so it is most convenient to recognize people, who is short of people, you can find it directly, and it is only a moment of effort, you will know who is not here now!

The princess shouted, "Old dog Simon...... Ah, the shopkeeper of Ximen is not here, and Brother Yun is gone, but Brother Yun is going to return the carriage! ”

The servants moved a stool for Zheng Gangling, and Zheng Gangling sat at the door of the store, with a calm face, and asked, "Are there only two of them missing?" ”

The people in the town nodded one after another, now there is a lack of Brother Yun and the shopkeeper of Ximen, everyone else has arrived, and even many passing travelers have been driven over by the servants!

Now here, there are only two missing, and Brother Yun and the shopkeeper of Ximen are gone!
