Chapter 278 It didn't take much effort to get it
Xu Xinyi thought hard, but he couldn't find the answer, he felt that his brain was a mess, and he glared at the blue, white, and yellow generals, only to feel that each of them looked like murderers, but each of them had a reason to get rid of suspicion, and he didn't feel depressed.
Inadvertently found that the corners of Qin Lin's mouth were slightly bent upward, and the familiar evil smile hung on his face again, Miss Xu was overjoyed: Could it be that this guy has found something again?
"Hey," Xu Xinyi secretly scratched Qin Lin's palm: "What did you think of again?" Don't sell it! ”
Qin Lin looked at the whole case and saw some clues, but there was a key link that had not yet been solved, he touched his chin and muttered in a low voice: "How did he do it?" ”
"Who is he?" Xu Xinyi's eyes widened.
Qin Lin hesitated and shook his head, and suddenly said loudly: "Come on, detain the three generals, blue, yellow, and white, and guard them carefully!" ”
The three generals were taken aback, and shouted injustice, Ma Debao didn't care so much, and immediately sent soldiers to guard them separately, and sent two guerrillas and four thousand generals, with many soldiers, all wearing helmets and armor, swords and guns, and firmly guarded.
Xu Xinyi's plump red lips pouted high, and he patted Qin Lin unhappily: "I hate it!" Who exactly is the murderer? ”
The heroic and sassy Miss Xu also had a time when she was coquettish, and many officials and generals below Ma Debao secretly looked at Qin Lin, surprised and envious, and felt very funny when they saw that the eldest lady who had never been pretentious about different surnames had changed her surname.
Qin Lin laughed dryly twice and attached it to Xu Xinyi's ear: "Generally speaking, I have guessed the facts of the case, but there is a key link in it that has not been solved yet, let me go back and think about it, what is going on." ”
Tickled by the heat in Qin Lin's mouth, Xu Xinyi's heart fluttered, and then he laughed evilly: Cut, it turns out that you haven't figured out the original story of the case, hum, this time Miss Ben will definitely be able to solve the case before you!
"Then, I'll go back first," Qin Lin made a gesture inviting his peers.
"Won't you stay and continue the investigation?"
"Maybe lie in bed and get a good night's sleep, and you'll wake up with the answer."
Xu Xinyi thought for a while, and said seriously: "Then you go back first, Miss Ben's female soldiers and sisters will come in a while, let's run a few laps of horses here and then go back to the city." ”
Qin Lin knew her plan and didn't reveal it, so he beckoned Lu Yuanzhi and Bi Maokang back to the city - Lao Bi ran away for nothing this time.
Looking at Qin Lin's distant back, Xu Xinyi grinned, revealing two naughty little tiger teeth: "Hehe, when you come back, Miss Ben has already investigated the case...... Maggardau! ”
General Ma Shen bowed his head and clenched his fists with a snap: "The end of the crime will be here." ”
"Follow Miss Ben to investigate the case!" Xu Xinyi crossed his waist with one hand, and waved down with the other hand, which was really majestic-
Qin Lin returned to the mansion, but the mystery was puzzled, so he issued an extremely strange order - let Han Feilian lead the brothers of the Gengzi Institute to the docks, bathhouses, etc., to inquire if there was a person with sarcoma on his left elbow who had disappeared recently.
"Brother Qin!" Lu Fatzi's little eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that the person who was killed in the powder magazine was not Li Huowang?" ”
Qin Lin nodded: "Very likely." ”
The strangeness of this matter lies in the several contradictions embodied in it.
First of all, it is determined that the person killed in the powder magazine died of homicide, because if you commit suicide, you can just light the fire directly, and there is no need to use the fire rope, once the traces of the burning of the fire rope are found, it means that the real murderer imprisoned the victim, and left after lighting the fire rope.
If it was Li Huowang who was killed, why did he run to the powder magazine? And what about the fortune he claimed before?
A poor military craftsman, what he can rely on to make a fortune is the technology in his hands, and there is nothing else, but fireworks are strictly prohibited in the powder magazine, even if Li Huowang wants to show any new inventions and new technologies, it is impossible for him to go to the powder magazine to conduct experiments, so he will not go to the powder magazine at all except to receive gunpowder!
In this way, although the two commanders in charge of the patrol post before and after are also suspicious and cannot get rid of it, the general manager of the treasury is the most suspicious, because the three people who directly manage the powder magazine, and the other two veterans have all died in the explosion, and he is the only one who survived!
Hearing this, Fat Lu blinked his eyes: "Brother Qin, is this a coincidence?" Could there be a possibility of a real culprit? ”
Qin Lin shook his head.
Huang General said, the general manager of the treasury is in charge of the entry and exit of gunpowder, and the two old soldiers are in charge of the key, this is a system to prevent malpractice in the barracks, so even if the old army can open the door to people privately and put Li Huowang and unknown criminals in, how can they prevent others from coming to receive gunpowder, and Huang General found that something was wrong after entering the warehouse?
Li Huowang disappeared yesterday evening, and it didn't explode until after noon the next day. Won't be discovered by the yellow general?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Huang Jiang to be completely unaware!
Taking this conclusion as the starting point, continue to push down: since Mr. Huang is involved in the case, the facts of this case will change.
Someone saw Li Huowang enter the treasury from a distance when Shen Shizheng was in the middle of nowhere, and if Li Huowang was imprisoned at that time, it would not be clear why Youshizheng was still with his apprentices of the military craftsmen; If he later entered the gunpowder storehouse, it was also said earlier that it could not be explained, whether he wanted to make a fortune or experiment with new technologies, he could not do it in the warehouse where fireworks were strictly prohibited, and the only possibility was to receive gunpowder, but he had already gone to "receive" it when he was Shen, so why did he go to "receive" it every hour or so?
Therefore, it is very likely that Mr. Huang played a trick, and the person who died in the gunpowder warehouse was not Li Huowang himself at all!
"So, when did the Yellow Commander get the victim into the powder magazine?" The fat man was convinced by Qin Lin's inference, and involuntarily asked.
Qin Lin narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Do you remember what the blue commander of the patrol always says?" ”
The fat man slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly: I see!
The blue general began to say that it was Li Huowang who entered the powder magazine when Shen Shi, and then he was suspected and forced to ask by everyone, and he quickly changed his words in shock, saying that he might have read it wrong.
At that time, Xu Xinyi and Lu Yuanzhi both suspected that Mr. Lan was incompatible with the preface and afterword, and it must have something to do with the case, but now that he thinks about it, he admits that he was wrong, it must be because the person who entered the powder magazine is slightly different from Li Huowang.
Li Huowang disappeared after the first moment of the unitary time, and Huang always let the "suspected Li Huowang" enter the gunpowder magazine at the beginning of the Shen period, which was to use the time difference to play a trick!
"Then, why didn't Brother Qin interrogate Mr. Huang strictly?" Lu Fatzi rubbed his hands, and wanted to run back to pull Huang out and torture him.
Qin Lin smiled and shook his head: "Evidence, no evidence." There are not many people with sarcoma on their left elbow inside and outside Nanjing! ”
Lu Fatzi suddenly realized, and he was a little deflated.
As Qin Lin said, people with sarcoma on their elbows are rare, for example, Li Huowang is the only one in the entire Zhejiang military battalion, so when he found a sarcoma in his mutilated arm, the soldiers immediately identified it as Master Li, a blacksmith.
If Jin Yiwei accuses Huang Jiang and Li Dai of being stiff, it will not be convincing at this point: You said that it was not Li Huowang who died, so where did Huang Jiang find the second person with sarcoma on his elbow? This is too unbelievable, isn't it?
At that time, Huang Jiang always shouted grievances, although Qin Lin could torture to extract confessions, in the eyes of the officials and generals of the Zhejiang military battalion, it was "tortured into a trick", in case Huang Jiang committed suicide, Qin Lin had to sit on the charge of forcing people to die, and became an incompetent person in the eyes of everyone.
So he must find the person who, like Li Huowang, has a sarcoma in the elbow area.
From the analysis of the case, Mr. Huang also found the stand-in with sarcoma through a certain method, so he substituted himself into the other party and thought about what method could be used to effectively find the stand-in?
No one's eyes can see anyone's elbow through their clothes, only the bathers in the bathroom who have taken off their clothes, and the dock workers in the docks who are half naked and working hard, can see their left elbow at a glance, and it is most convenient to find a stand-in!
"Brother Qin, you are really my uncle!" The fat man shook his face, admiring his body to the ground, he really couldn't think of what Qin Lin's brain was made of, and he could even think of these.
Qin Lin was also full of confidence, and felt that he should be able to find Huang Jiang's flaws.
Unexpectedly, until the evening, Han Feilian mobilized the brothers of the Gengzi Institute to search all the docks and bathrooms, but still failed to find the "missing person with sarcoma in the elbow", so he had to order the brothers to go to the hospital and other places to inquire to see if they could find clues.
"Sir, the brethren have searched everywhere, and there is no such person as you say!" Han Feilian came back dejectedly and reported.
Qin Lin also wondered, could it be that the stand-in was accidentally discovered by Mr. Huang?
No, no, there is no such coincidence in the world, and such a well-thought-out and well-planned crime will never pin the key link on luck!
So, what is it that is not well thought out? You need to take off your clothes to expose your elbows, is it the Records Academy? But if Huang sent someone from house to house to ask that scoop customer had sarcoma in his elbow, it would be easy to expose his crime!
At this moment, Niu Dali and You Kidnapper walked in from the outside talking and laughing, and they took turns to take a holiday, went out to play all day, and came back happily.
"Bad luck," the ox complained loudly, "if he still pretends to be big there, my old cow will definitely cut off that piece of gold!" ”
"That's it, do you still need to talk about Brother Niu's strength?" You Kidnapper echoed, "It's just bad luck, Tete rushed over, who knows that the wronged head has been gone for four or five days, it's a pity......"
Above the main hall, Qin Lin's half-narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and suddenly they were shining!
