A scream came from the backyard, and in an instant, Lin Feng was three steps away, his legs were spread, the wind was gusting in his ears, and the heavy footsteps of Xiao He and a few people came from behind him.

Sitting on the ground alone, with his back bent, it was Uncle Xu who had just cleaned the room, staring straight inside with his eyes, Lin Feng looked at it, and a figure swayed, his legs were suspended, and his neck hung on the rope hanging from the beam of the room.

The knife flashed, the rope was broken in an instant, Lin Feng grabbed it with his left hand, his body was cold, and he should have been dead for a long time, "MILFs, why are you here." ”

Xiao He ran to the front, kept panting, his mouth opened wide, he couldn't believe it at all, the cook who left here three days ago appeared in his room at this moment, and at this moment he had become a corpse.

"Uncle Xu, is that the body you found?"

Uncle Xu nodded, Xiao He stepped forward to help him up from the ground, and he didn't care about removing the dust on his body, "My lord, I just wanted to clean up while no one came over, and I didn't want to push the door open, so I saw the cook and she hanged herself." ”

"How do you tell if the cook hanged herself?"

"This!" Uncle Xu frowned, "My lord, this is a clear thing, the rope is hanging here, the person is dead, what is it if he is not hanging!" ”

Lin Feng snorted coldly, "Everything is just a surface, the rope is just a tool, there are many ways to kill people, whether the cook was still alive when she was hung on it, whether she was willing or forced or there are other possibilities, without figuring it out, you must not easily draw conclusions." ”

"What the adults said is reasonable, but I am talking nonsense."

Lin Feng squatted down, picked up the tip of the knife, wrapped around his neck and the rope fell aside, looking carefully, people can deceive people, but corpses can't, and they can often leave valuable evidence to find out the murderer.

In addition to the marks left by the rope, there was also a bruise on the neck, which was slightly larger than the palm of a person's hand, and it should not have been left by the corpse rubbing on the rope.

"My lord, did you find anything?" Xiao He looked in, Li Xiuer and the dumb girl hid aside, and twisted to the side, the daughter's family was timid after all, especially afraid of the dead.

"Nope! Who was the last to see the deceased? "After all, the dead must have an explanation, Jin Yiwei can kill people when he executes the order, and he also needs to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty at ordinary times, which is a rule that cannot be broken.

"Uncle Xu."

"No, no, my lord is aware of it, there is something at home these days, and I only rushed back this morning, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people who defend the city, those few know me, and you will know it when you ask."

"When are leaving?"

"Three days ago."

"What are you carrying?"

"A burden, saying that I haven't been back for a few years, this time I want to stay a few more days, the adults are not there, no one is in charge here, Xiao He saw that there was nothing to do, so he simply agreed."

"How much is the cook?"

"Ten taels of silver a month."

Lin Feng nodded, there must be some oil and water in this kind of place, plus Yu Lu, if you don't go back for a few years, there is not a small amount of silver in your hand, judging from the wrinkles on the faces of the, the age is between forty and fifty, it is not unusual for a woman not to go home for a few years, and there is no one in the family who can judge, and the other half must be vacant.

The face is slightly pale, the corpse falls to the ground, the body is plump, the skin is fair, is there one more possibility!

"The cook committed suicide."

"Suicide?"

"What's wrong?"

Xiao He shook his head, "Adults say that they are suicides, so naturally they can't be wrong, they just think it's strange, how can a good person say that he will die." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "It's a pity that someone has bad intentions and touched the deceased's things, but I'm afraid that the ghost will not go away, so it's best to hide in the room tonight to avoid suffering." ”

"Ghosts, do you mean that' ghosts will come back tonight?"

"What would happen to you if someone touched your baby?"

"Grab it back, of course." After speaking, he put his finger to his mouth, "I understand what the adult means, although the committed suicide, but the burden is gone, so they will die without turning a blind eye." ”

In an instant, the eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened, and the gray eyeballs stared at a person, Xu Bo was so frightened that he retreated again and again, Lin Feng saw it in his eyes, although it was just a guess, this matter must be related to this person.

"Xiao He stays, the others go back first, remember that no matter what movement you hear tonight, you can't come out."

The three of them left, Lin Feng looked at the situation in the room, the quilt was folded neatly, it seemed normal, if you carefully inferred that it was not at all, how could a person who wanted to seek death care about these details, folded the quilt, and the shoes were also placed neatly, Lin Feng's eyes fell on the wooden bench on the side.

The beam is some distance from the ground, the flying fish knife is upward, just against the position of the beam, the toe is a little, the wooden bench is arranged, "Bring a piece of rope." ”

"What's the use of adults?"

"Take it and you'll know."

Xiao He agreed, trotted out all the way, and after a short time, he took the rope and came back, "Adult, is it enough?" ”

"Enough."

With a shake of his left hand, the rope accurately bypassed the wooden beam, Lin Feng stood on the wooden bench, his head poked in, this time he frightened Xiao He on the side, and hurriedly kept his hands, "Adult, adult, don't think about it." ”

"Let it go."

"Why don't you let it go."

Lin Feng looked helpless, sometimes he really didn't have a problem with Xiao He, his head was not slow, and sometimes he couldn't go around the corner, "This is a repetition of the case." ”

"A repeat of the case? Didn't the adult say that the committed suicide? ”

Lin Feng sneered, "Do you understand?" ”

Xiao He shook his head, looking at the rope above with a puzzled expression, Lin Feng came down from above, "It's the height, the position of the rope happened to be here when I entered!" Lin Feng pointed with his hand, and the height of the rope he was now tied to it was almost exactly the same.

"What does that mean, sir?"

"If you're going to hang yourself, do you have to work hard to climb up and hang your neck on it?"

"Climb up?" Xiao He bit his lip, how could he be more confused the more he listened, "My lord, don't be embarrassed by Xiao He." ”

Lin Feng kicked down the wooden bench with a snap, Xiao He's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of something, "I understand, the height of the is too short, even if the height of the wooden bench below is not enough, if so, how can I commit suicide?" ”

"It's not suicide."

"It's not! My lord said yes just now. ”

"Don't make a noise, let me ask you, how is this Uncle Xu?"

"To be honest, when Xiao He came, I heard that Uncle Xu had been here for more than ten years, and the only problem was that he liked to gamble a few times, which was nothing."

"Uncle Xu's back has always been bent?" Since Sanjiang County was attacked by poisonous camels, it has been invisibly a little more vigilant against hunchbacks.

"It's always been like this, when I'm older, sometimes I don't bother Uncle Xu if I can clean up by myself."

Lin Feng nodded, the flaw in the death of the is in the height, a woman can't do it, this Xu Bo can't do it either, unless you use other methods, look at it carefully, on the wooden beam, there is no other trace of friction except for the rope left a trace, here is Jinyiwei, ordinary people can't enter at all, thinking of this, I can't help frowning.

"That?"

Xiao He hesitated, "My lord, it's always bad to say bad things about dead people, so forget it." ”

"It's better than saying bad things about living people behind your back, you can't say anything to people, just say it."

"Okay, are good at everything, and the meals are good, it's just a little bit of that." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, this kind of thing doesn't need to be too clear.

"The murderer will be revealed tonight."

"My lord, was the really killed?"

"The truth will be known then."

There was nothing to do for a day, several people were worried, and the dumb girl also lost interest in preparing meals carefully, especially Xiao He, who was timid by nature and looked left and right from time to time.

"It's going to be dark, go back first, plug in the door tonight and don't come out, Xiu'er, accompany Xiaoyu."

"Got it, Brother Lin."

Lin Feng returned to his residence, pushed open the door, turned around and closed it, and moved his left hand slightly, leaving a gap on it, through which he could vaguely see what was happening outside the door.

Xiao He also hid at the door, clutching the scimitar, whispering something in his mouth, mostly the words of the Bodhisattva's blessing, and just waiting for the murderer to appear according to Lin Feng's instructions.

The night is frighteningly quiet, and often sin occurs at this time, and those who hide in the dark with ill-intentioned eyes, most of them lie dormant during the day, or wear masks, only to wait for the moment when night falls to completely tear off all disguises.

"Ahhh Xiaoyu gestured in his hand, pointing outside and then pointing at Li Xiu'er.

"It's going to be fine, you must believe in Brother Lin.
