Zhengyang Village is not particularly far from Xiaozuo Village, and the woods between the two villages are not particularly large, and if they were placed elsewhere, this forest may not be called a large forest.

However, this forest is larger than the other forests around Xiaozuo Village, so it is called a big forest by Shaoshan.

The road in the woods is indeed difficult to walk, there are a lot of stones, if it is dark to walk at night, and it is a woman like Huang Meiyu to walk, then I am afraid it is not uncomfortable, but quite hard.

Seeing such a stone ground, the two brothers Huang Wen and Huang Hu almost shed tears together, such a difficult road, my sister will definitely suffer a lot of crimes, maybe her legs and feet will be injured.

Those kidnappers must be dragging their sister away, so they won't carry her on their backs, and if they really want to carry Huang Meiyu on their backs, it is estimated that they will knock Huang Meiyu unconscious, they will definitely be afraid that Huang Meiyu will struggle and shout, so will Huang Meiyu's head be broken?

The two brothers of the Huang family just thought about this kind of thing, and they both felt like they wanted to cry.

Li Rizhi only took a short turn in the woods, and then returned to Xiaozuo Village.

To do on-site investigation, the most important thing is to restore the scene of the crime at that time, so Li Rizhi must know how the three kidnappers entered the Zuo family's mansion, and then how they dragged Huang Meiyu out, this process needs to be re-demonstrated.

Li Rizhi personally led people to the outside of the fence wall, and he carefully looked at the outer wall of the pigsty to check the footprints on the outer wall.

There are as many as six footprints on the exterior wall, which are divided into two types in terms of size, one is slightly larger and the other is slightly smaller.

These two footprints are the footprints of the forefoot, but they can also distinguish the size of the footprint, and the soil on the footprints belongs to the same place, which place is it? I'll have to look for it later.

The larger footprints have only two, while the smaller footprints have as many as four.

This is actually obvious, these are two people, one tall and one short, the tall one is estimated to be the normal height, but the short one is very strange.

In fact, the outer wall of the pigsty of the Zuo family is not very high, how high can the pigsty for the pigs be, and there are no pigs in the pigsty of the Zuo family, it is an empty pigsty.

If a normal person wants to jump over the outer wall of the pigsty with such a high height, he only needs to use his hands on the top of the pigsty and push on the wall with both feet to climb onto the top of the pigsty.

Although it is said that it is a bit redundant to go in and steal chickens instead of climbing over the fence wall, it is a bit suspicious of taking off your pants and farting.

However, since this is how the two thieves went, it can only be inferred from the outside of the pigsty.

Li Rizhi pointed to a few small footprints on the outer wall of the pigsty, and said to Cheng Zizi: "Could this be a child's footprints, how old is a child?" ”

Cheng Zizi deduced in his heart, and then said: "If you judge from these footprints, it may be a child of about 10 years old." But can a child around 10 years old kidnap Huang Meiyu? Even if you are an accomplice of the thief, this age is a little too young! ”

Li Rizhi then called Shao Shan over and asked him, "Are there any of the three people you see who are very short, about the height of a child about ten years old?" ”

Shao Shan thought about it, and looked at him as he was recalling carefully, and after a moment, he said: "It seems that there is a person who is not tall, but not as tall as a ten-year-old child, and the villain really doesn't dare to say it." Because the villain was a little far away from them at that time, and the short man didn't come, so how tall that person was, the villain really didn't dare to say! ”

Li Rizhi didn't ask again, but from the distance between the footprints, he could roughly estimate that it was about the height of a ten-year-old child, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many footprints on the wall, and it was obvious that he had climbed several times.

As a county magistrate, of course, Li Rizhi would not climb the wall of the pigsty himself, so he asked two servants to climb the wall of the pigsty, and then jumped into the fence yard of Zuo's house.

Li Rizhi suddenly said: "You guys check that pigsty and see what's inside!" ”

The two servants immediately looked into the pigsty, which was not very large, and it was very clean, and there was nothing in it.

An errand officer actually got into the pigsty in order to behave well in front of the prefectural magistrate, but as soon as he entered, he shouted, "Prefectural magistrate, it seems that something was buried in it before, and then it was dug out!" ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "I know that this is the case, why didn't those two thieves walk through the fence wall that was easier to get in, instead of jumping in from the pigsty, which shows that they don't want others to know that they have come in, maybe it's because they have hidden something in the pigsty of the Zuo family, and they don't want the people of the Zuo family to know!" ”

The servant crawled out of the pigsty, and then said: "There is a pit in it, this pit is not very big, it is as big as the mouth of a bowl, but it is very deep, and it cannot be penetrated after the arm reaches in, and the soil next to the pit is still fresh, not completely dry, and the pit is dug very round, it is almost as neat as the edge of a bowl, even if I were asked to dig this hole, it is impossible to dig it, so it is absolutely impossible for a pig to dig it, and there are no pigs in the pigsty in the first place!" ”

When Li Rizhi entered the fence yard, he called for a lamp to be brought in, and with the lamp, he also leaned into the pigsty to check the deep hole.

I saw this deep hole, it was really very round, the hole was neat, it was really like the mouth of the bowl, and this depth was extremely deep, and the oil lamp was illuminated, because of the angle, so I couldn't see the bottom of the small hole.

He had a stick of wood brought and lit it, and threw it into the little hole, and by the light of the fire he saw that there was nothing in the little hole, which was very deep, as deep as one and a half of a man's arm.

It's hard to believe how a person can dig such a small and deep hole in such a small space as a pigsty!

And what is the purpose of digging such a deep hole?

Is it just to hide something?

Digging such a perfect hole in a pigsty is an incredible thing!

Li Rizhi came out of the pigsty, and then called Cheng Zizi, and said: "You also go in and see, what is that little hole inside used for, is it used to hide things, or is it used to grab things?"

Could it be a trap?

I really can't think of what such a small trap is used to catch? ”

Cheng Zizi agreed, and then he also got into the pigsty, and after he looked at the small hole, he shouted from inside: "This little hole is definitely not used to grab things!"

But it's not used to hide things, I really can't guess this, what can be used to hide such a small one? ”

Cheng Zizi climbed out of the pigsty, he and Li Rizhi both shook their heads, this is considered to have touched something that the two of them have never been in contact with, for people who understand this kind of thing, it may be very simple, just look at it to know what it does, but for a layman like them, that is, how to guess, I can't guess!
