The solution is very simple, from what Zhuo Xin said, Lin Tianhu's gray face said, there must be dust under the bed, so Lin Tianhu's palm prints or fingerprints will definitely be left. However, as a last resort, Meng Tianchu really didn't want to give these people another fingerprint lesson, teaching this kind of knowledge that was too modern, and if it wasn't done well, it would backfire, making people think they were talking nonsense.

This time, there is no need for Meng Tianchu to be embarrassed by this, because Meng Tianchu's previous speculation was accurate enough for Lin Tianhu to wave the white flag and surrender, he heard Meng Tianchu say it so accurately, knowing that his actions were already in the hands of others, at this time, it was better to behave by himself first, so Lin Tianhu gave himself a few mouths, kowtowed and said: "Master, the little one is guilty, the little one is talking nonsense just now, it's just that the little one just wants to lie under the bed and listen to the new house, there is no other plan, really, ask the master to be clear." ”

This noisy new house, there is a custom of eavesdropping on the root of the wall, including hiding under the bed and eavesdropping, however, this kind of thing is generally done by those half-old children, half lively and half peachy, most of them will be pulled out of the bed and kicked out of the buttocks, haha a fun is over, and there are also those who have not found out, then the next day, the eavesdropper will add fuel and vinegar to the overheard plot and talk about it, for fun. An old bachelor in his thirties like Lin Tianhu eavesdropping under the bed makes people feel that they are not trying to have fun, but making people feel obscene.

Meng Tianchu is not a folklore scholar, he has no interest in eavesdropping on the customs in the new house, what he cares about is whether Lin Tianhu is really just hiding under the bed and eavesdropping, whether he has done something else or seen something else, Meng Tianchu asked: "You tell me in detail about eavesdropping, I can warn you, this time you dare to lie again, you know how we will deal with you." ”

"Yes! The villain doesn't dare! Lin Tianhu shuddered and said, "Last night, Zhuo Xin and I left the courtyard and returned to the banquet. Zhuo Xin was in a bad mood, and he poured wine vigorously, and soon fainted. I wanted to eavesdrop on the corner again, but I knew Zhuo Xin didn't want to eavesdrop, so I didn't tell him..."

Meng Tianchu interjected and asked, "How do you know that he doesn't want to see it, didn't he go with you to peep last night?" ”

"No, he just wanted to talk to Lin Si, when we peeked last night, Yuan Tiehe took off Lin Si's clothes, and he smashed the window angrily and punched him, which made Yuan Tiehe find out."

"You go on."

"Yes, I saw that Zhuo Xin was drunk, so I secretly left the banquet by myself under the pretext of going to the thatched house, avoiding the sight of the servants who were waiting, and came to the new house. I wanted to hide behind the window and continue to peek, but as soon as I entered the small courtyard, I found that the door of the new house was open, I was a little strange, I hid aside and peeked for a while, but I didn't find any movement, only heard the sound of snoring in the house, the sound was very loud. I didn't dare to enter the room directly, so I went around to the window next to me, wet my fingers, gently pierced the window, and looked inside, only to see that it was dark and winter, and after my eyes adjusted to the light in the room, I saw clearly that there was no one else in the room, and the snoring sound came from the bed, probably Yuan Tiehe's. I guess they were already asleep, so I boldly entered through the door and under the bed..."

Meng Tianchu asked, "Everyone is... When you're done, what are you doing under the bed? ”

"You don't know this master, eavesdropping on the root of the wall of the new house is to listen to the second half of the night!" Speaking of eavesdropping on the new house, Lin Tianhu suddenly came to his senses, and he forgot that his face was still hot and painful when he was beaten like a pig's head.

"Why is that?" Meng Tian Chuqi said.

"I eavesdropped a lot, and found that the bride couldn't let go of the first half of the night, and she didn't dare to make a sound when she did that, and she didn't listen to it. In the second half of the night, she also tasted the sweetness, and thought that everyone else was asleep, so she would be relieved to enjoy it boldly, and the sound of the bed would only taste good..."

"You're so shameless!" Meng Tianchu scolded with a smile.

Cai Zhixian on the side wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, so he coughed lightly and took a sip of the tea bowl in disguise. The group of people next to him, such as Wang Zhutou, were all rough people, but they couldn't laugh anymore.

Lin Tianhu was not ashamed but proud, turned his head triumphantly and looked at a few catchers, seeing that they were very interested, he couldn't help but continue: "Some time ago, Zhang Yuanwai's family married a daughter-in-law, and the woman looked at Wenwen weakly, but she could get up, hey, that's really..."

"That's it! You***, do you think this is drinking and bragging on your kang? ”

"Yes, yes!" Lin Tianhu hurriedly shut up and kowtowed.

Meng Tianchu said: "Continue to say just now, what happened to you after you got to the foot of the bed?" ”

Lin Tianhu said: "After I got under the bed, I waited for a long time, and there was no movement on the bed except for the sound of snoring, which is very strange." Jiao Niang is on the side, how can this Yuan fat man still sleep? If it were me, I'd make a fuss early***

The earth was covered. It's really breathless, I waited patiently, and I waited for a long time for someone to come in..."

Meng Tian Chuqi said: "Feel? ”

"yes!" Lin Tianhu pointed to the big bed next to him, "This new bed is so wide and big, I was worried that I would be discovered, so I hid in the innermost, so the outside situation is almost invisible, and this bed is not facing the door, people come in from outside the door, and the bed is invisible, plus there is no light in the room, it is dark, and I can't see clearly." ”

Meng Tianchu turned his head to look at the bed and nodded: "Who do you think this person is coming in?" ”

"How can I feel it, but by feeling, listening to the movement, it should be a man."

"Men? What did he do? ”

"I heard him come in through the door, and he came to the end of the bed, and stood for a moment, and then climbed into bed, and then there was a stirring on the bed, and to tell the truth, I heard this man come into the new house and commit rape, and I was... I regretted it in my heart, why didn't I have the courage to do this, and then I heard the snoring stop, and the person who had stolen the rape did not move, and after a while, the snoring sound sounded slowly, but it was very soft, and it came and went, and the man did not move, and after a while, I heard the man slowly get out of bed from the end of the bed, and then tiptoe away. ”

"Who is this man?" Meng Tianchu knew that there would be no answer from Lin Tianhu's mouth, but he couldn't help but ask. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Cai Zhixian. Cai Zhixian also felt the most critical moment, and also glanced at Meng Tianchu with a nervous expression.

"Master, the little one really doesn't know, it's too dark in the room, I hid in the innermost part of the bed again, I can't see it, anyway, it's probably a man who listens to the movement, besides, what is the woman doing when she climbs into bed at this time?"

This is also true, in this way, this case is even more complicated, one eavesdropped, the other steals adulterous, it's really dirty! If what Lin Tianhu said is true, then this thief is likely to be the murderer of Lin Si, and the time when he appeared was exactly the time when the autopsy proved that Lin Si was killed!

When this person came in and raped him, maybe Lin Si had already realized that it was not his husband and resisted, but Lin Si was originally a weak woman, and she was drunk by Yuan Tiehe, so her resistance was relatively weak, and Yuan Tiehe next to her was already drunk, so he was not awakened. In order to prevent Lin Si from shouting, the murderer covered Lin Si's mouth and nose with his hands, causing Lin Si to suffocate to death.

Meng Tianchu asked, "When did that person come in?" ”

Lin Tianhu thought for a while: "Anyway, I left the room after that, returned to the banquet, and dispersed after a quarter of an hour, and walked about a meal on the way, and when I got home, I heard the sound of the fourth watch." In this way, the person should have come in at about one moment in Zizheng, he only stayed for a while, and when he left, it was about two minutes in Zizheng. ”

In ancient times, the time of calculation was divided into twelve hours, each hour is equivalent to two hours now, and an hour is divided into two parts, respectively called a certain beginning, a certain positive (the consciousness of the punctuality of the hour), and each part is divided into four moments, called a certain beginning and a certain moment or a certain moment. Take the sub-hour as an example, the sub-hour is from eleven o'clock to one o'clock at night, so the sub-hour is eleven o'clock, and the sub-hour is twelve o'clock. This Lin Tianhu said that it was two o'clock, that is, half past one in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Meng Tianchu saw the hope of solving the case, and now what needs to be found out is what these people are doing between the moment and the second moment, and whether there is time to witness.

There are a total of eleven criminal suspects, such a thing as stealing adultery, the Yuan family and the Lin family can be ruled out, Lin Tianhu is under the bed, it can also be ruled out, there are six left, Meng Tianchu thought for a while, and said to Lin Tianhu: "Zhang Chi Zhang Xiancheng, Confucian Lifting Division Instructor Zhou Mo, Torture Room Secretary Wen Ming, Workshop Secretary Ruan Jiali, Scribe Zhuo Xin, Li Worm, among these six people, who do you think is the most likely?" Who else could have committed the crime? ”

Lin Tianhu thought about it with his fingers: "Zhuo Xin shouldn't be, he hates Lin Si to death, and he told me that when he and Lin Si were privately engaged for life before, he had the opportunity to have her, but he didn't ask for it..."

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, this time and that time, I didn't want it at that time, but not necessarily at this time, besides, in a fit of anger, it is common to vent anger and kill people. But Meng Tianchu didn't interrupt Lin Tianhu's train of thought, and then listened to him.

Lin Tianhu continued: "It is unlikely that Zhang Xiancheng and Zhou will be the oracle, they are dignified county magistrates and oracles, how can they do such dirty things..."

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Zhou Jiaoyu is not very clear, according to Zhuo Xin, at the banquet last night, this county Cheng sneaked out several times, and was seen coming back in a panic from the direction of the new house, there must be a ghost.
