Day 34

The sky turned white to dispel the darkness of the night, and a figure flashed out, it was Lin Feng, holding a flying fish knife, who came out of the room while the night was dark, and kept hiding in the dark, just waiting for the murderer of the cook to take the initiative to appear.

At this moment, his brows furrowed, and he kept watch all night, and he never saw anyone, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment, or that method did not work.

Lin Feng first said that the murderer reassured the murderer by committing suicide to make the chef feel at ease, and he also lost his vigilance, and then put forward the theory of ghosts, people are the most superstitious, the dead cook is fully dressed, and there is no trace of violation on the body, since there must be no grudge with others, it must be for money, where did the burden on the cook's body go!

"My lord, can you come out?"

"Come out."

A person came out of a hidden position, jumped from above, and most of them had been squatting in it for a long time, and his legs were unstable and he knelt directly on the ground, it was Xiao He.

Lin Feng pulled his hands, and Xiao He stood up from the ground, "My lord, the murderer didn't appear!" ”

"Go see Uncle Xu."

"Okay."

Lin Feng was in front, Xiao He was following behind, his legs were slightly lame, so he had to take three steps and two steps to follow, the cook's residence was in the backyard, Uncle Xu lived in the side yard, and Lin Feng and Xiao He lived in the front yard.

Entering the side courtyard, I pushed it with my hand, and the courtyard door was inserted from the inside, "Strange." Xiao He leaned on the crack of the door and looked in, "Usually Uncle Xu got up early, what's wrong today!" ”

"Get out of the way."

Xiao He was also obedient, his figure flashed to the side, the flying fish knife in Lin Feng's hand flickered, the thin blade poked into the crack of the door, picked it up, snapped, and the wooden bolt on it fell to the ground and made a sound......

"Good knife technique." Xiao He couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his eyes, it seemed simple, if it was aimed at and slowly probed in, it would definitely be easy, Lin Feng made a knife in an instant, accurately, the flying fish knife slipped in along the crack in the door like having eyes, this trick couldn't be done without a few years of hard practice.

Lin Feng pushed, the courtyard door opened, there was no one in the yard, and he entered and bent down to pick up the wooden bolt from the ground, which was intact, and it was certain that someone had plugged it in from the inside. The cork is made of hardwood, which is so strong that it cannot be pushed away from the outside unless it is done in this way.

"Uncle Xu, I'm Xiao He." Xiao He shouted, but there was no response inside, so he simply raised his voice, but still did not respond, and came to the door and gently pushed it with his hand.

The door opened.

The door of the side courtyard is closed, the door is indeed open, slowly opened, creaking, crunching, fortunately, the sky is already bright, if it is night, this sound is creepy, plus the kitchen lady who died in the room, it is easy to make people imagine.

"Uncle Xu." Xiao He probed in, his voice was lowered, there was no one in the house, his clothes were hanging on the wall, and he usually used cleaning tools.

"Where can I go so early!"

The gate of the side courtyard was inserted from the inside, and the courtyard walls on both sides were more than one person high, Lin Feng carefully checked, and there were no traces of climbing on it, so it was strange that a living person disappeared without a trace under the noses of Lin Feng and others.

"Anywhere else in the side yard?"

"There's a small backyard that usually uses to stack sundries."

"Check it out."

Xiao He promised to lead the way in front, and there was a passage more than one person wide in the corner, and after walking through the passage, there was indeed a small courtyard, piled up some unused tables and chairs, although it was the other party's sundries, and it was very neatly tied, it can be seen that Xu Bo must like to be clean on weekdays.

"My lord, no."

"There's a problem there."

Lin Feng pointed with his hand, it was also a corner, a broken grass mat fell to the ground to block most of the sight, Xiao He glanced at it, "Adult, it's nothing!" ”

Lin Feng shook his head, "The items in other locations are neatly placed, but the straw mat in this place is thrown on the ground at will, and a person's habits will not be easily changed." ”

Xiao He nodded, walked a few steps quickly to the front, and pulled out the straw mat, "My lord, there is a hole here." ”

The straw mat was opened, and finally I saw that there was a hole in the corner, most likely because of disrepair, a large stone fell down, and the bricks on it were also neatly placed aside, just as Lin Feng said, this is a person's habit.

The entrance of the cave appears, enough for a person to drill out, a seemingly unachievable thing becomes possible with the appearance of the hole, Jinyiwei is no longer impervious to wind and rain, from here you can enter and exit at will, the death of the cook must be related to Uncle Xu, and the height of the beam hanging on the beam can also be explained clearly, the real murderer may not be Uncle Xu.

In any case, Uncle Xu must have something to do with this matter, otherwise he would not have slipped away from the secret 1 cave overnight.

"Go out and have a look."

As soon as Lin Feng bent down, the flying fish knife moved forward, fortunately, there was no danger, if there was an ambush in front of him, his arm could not be waved freely, and the power of the flying fish knife was greatly reduced.

The body jumped out, rolled around, looked around, everything was completely unfamiliar, and he could only wait for Xiao He to come out to figure out what kind of place this was.

"How did you get here all of a sudden?" Xiao He looked at the front of him and sighed with such emotion.

"Where is this?"

"My lord, go further, and jump over a wall to find the backstreets of the outer city, where men seek pleasure."

"Is there a gambling house in the back streets?"

"Yes, there's anything in that kind of place as long as there's silver."

Lin Feng nodded, Uncle Xu was a gambler, and accidentally found that a stone fell from the corner of the side yard, so he simply used it, which could save a lot of footsteps, and it was also not easy to be discovered.

"Let's take a look."

Xiao He led the way in front, the location here is extremely remote, the left side is a high courtyard wall, it should be an abandoned place behind the inner city mansion, a small road in the middle, only one person is allowed to pass, judging from the footprints on the ground, Xu Bo has not entered and exited from here.

"Ahh With an exclamation, Xiao He stopped, and the whole person stood there, Lin Feng was behind him, and his vision was completely blocked by Xiao He, "What happened?" ”

"Uncle Xu, he's dead."

Xiao He's body got out of the way, Lin Feng came closer, and probed his neck with his hand, there was no pulse, the person was already dead, and a red mark appeared on the neck, it should have been suffocated by someone with a rope from behind.

"The killer was a left-hander with a disability in his right hand."

"How do you decide?"

There were marks on the corpse, and the marks on the right side of the neck were obviously deeper than the left side, Lin Feng picked up a blade of grass, made a circle, and pulled it with the trend, his right hand controlled the left area, and his left hand was the opposite.

Xiao He nodded, "This can only show that the strength of the murderer's left hand is greater than that of the right hand, how do adults judge that the other party's right hand is disabled?" ”

"Do you remember the bruise on the cook's neck?"

"Yes."

"The left side is obviously missing a piece compared to the right side, and it was not clear when the body was found, so I took a special look, and the marks on the neck deepened, revealing finger marks, a total of nine fingers."

"The murderer is missing a finger on his right hand!"

"If the inference is correct, it is the same person who killed the cook and Uncle Xu."

Xiao He sighed, "I know what, where to find it." ”

"Casino."

Lin Feng judged that there was nothing wrong, Uncle Xu had stayed in Jinyiwei for more than ten years, and he couldn't fit in at all from his identity, the whole person became isolated, and his only hobby was gambling.

Xiao He turned around to leave, but Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop him, "My lord, aren't you going to the gambling house?" ”

"Go this way."

Xiao He shook his head, "No, there is a city wall in front, and you have to go around the outer city and go out through the inner city gate." ”

"If Uncle Xu thinks the same way, he doesn't have to take this path at all." Lin Feng walked out quickly, Xiao He had to follow behind, all in order to find Uncle Xu, he didn't want to see that it was indeed a corpse, who was the murderer, so vicious, killing two people in a row.

The death of the cook must have been arranged by someone, first using some method to lure the cook away, and finally killing her, sending the body back with the help of the side yard passage, and finally creating the illusion of hanging herself.

According to common sense, there are only two possibilities, the cook committed suicide, or was killed by Uncle Xu, if it wasn't for Lin Feng discovering the passage in the side courtyard, Uncle Xu's death would inevitably become an unsolved case, and in the end, it can be concluded that the murderer had taken this into account before deciding to kill Uncle Xu.

Lin Feng quickly analyzed all the possibilities in his mind, and in front of him was the courtyard wall mentioned by Xiao He's mouth, which was not high, as long as he could pass through it smoothly with the help of certain tools, what was puzzling was that there were no stones here, there were no ladders, and there was no secret passage, how did the murderer return after killing Uncle Xu.
