Chapter 50
Hearing Zuo Qi's exclamation, the crane and white sheep hurriedly came to the window. When I saw the footprints on the windowsill, my face changed suddenly.
Spider has been following Lu Sheng to solve cases these days, and has also learned some ability to collect clues. But staring at this footprint for a long time, the spider was still confused.
"Is there anything strange about this footprint? It's just an ordinary footprint. The shoes were stained with wet soil, which has not rained in recent days, and this wet soil should be caused by a humid climate in a shady place.
It is certain that the murderer had just returned from the jungle, and after killing someone, he jumped out of the window and fled. Judging from the humidity of the footprints, the murderer should have left for a short time, and now the chase can find clues. β
After the spider's guess was completed, the three people around him were still indifferent. And the disciples of Jingyangmen stared at their master with a look of eating melons.
The crane white sheep's face was still so gloomy, even if he knew that the murderer of his disciple did not run away, he did not chase after him angrily.
"Spider, you're right. But you forgot, Master Crane and Elder Zuo Qi came from the back window just now.
If the killer had fled through the back window, they should have seen it. But looking at the faces of the two, it is obvious that there is no trace of the murderer.
The head of the crane knows Jingyangmen well, and his martial arts are even more extreme. However, the murderer was able to escape silently in front of the two of them, and his cultivation was so high that he was afraid that he was already above the innate. β
After listening to Lu Sheng's explanation, the spider figured out the trick. If the murderer's martial arts are really so high, he will only have the share of meat buns and dogs if he catches up rashly.
"Crane Master, where is the sacred?" Zuo Qi retracted his gaze with a solemn face and looked at the crane and white sheep.
"My Jingyangmen door rules are extremely strict, and no one is allowed to go down the mountain if I can't do martial arts. In the past ten years, no one has walked the rivers and lakes. Practice behind closed doors and never participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. How do I know what is sacred to offend?
Moreover, if you have a holiday with Jingyangmen, you can find me, so why kill my disciple? Lao Wu is usually dull, rarely speaks, and can't think of ......"
"We came as soon as we heard the screams, and it took no more than ten breaths to break the man's hands and feet, and to break his neck, and then to flee...... It's hard for me to imagine how high this person's martial arts are, I'm afraid, even Mr. Sun can't do it, right?"
Lu Sheng's gaze kept scanning the room, and suddenly, the abnormality in the small cabinet of the bed aroused Lu Sheng's idea. Lu Sheng hurriedly strode to the bedside table and squatted down, stretching out his hand to touch the marks on the ground.
"My lord, is there a clue to the murderer?"
Lu Sheng was silent, and quickly got up and moved away from the bedside table. Under the bedside table, there was a hole in the mouth of a flare. The hole is the size of a bowl, and it is chiseled all the way downstairs.
Lu Sheng stretched out his finger and touched the edge of the hole, and the marks were already very smooth.
And seeing this hole, the face of the crane and white sheep instantly became ugly.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up and looked at the dead Hou Yong, with a slight disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Jingyangmen is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"
"My lord, what is this hole used for?" the spider asked suspiciously, suddenly as if she had thought of something, and her face suddenly turned red, "I remember that this is Yan Bijun's room below, right?"
"Yes, this hole was secretly dug by Hou Yong to peep at his junior sister, and judging from the traces of the movement of the bedside table, this hole is at least some years old. Tut-tut...... Yan Bijun doesn't know how many times he has looked at it......"
"Brute...... Bastard thing!" Crane Aries trembled angrily, if it weren't for Lu Sheng, Zuo Qi and others present, maybe Crane Aries would have directly pulled out the goods and whipped the corpse.
"Actually, I don't think the murderer's martial arts are as high as you think. Lu Sheng suddenly rubbed his chin and said lightly.
"Why did Lord Lu say this?" Zuo Qi frowned slightly, he had a lot of experience in estimating the opponent's martial arts from the clues, and he had rarely made mistakes in the past few decades.
"Two, I think the murderer didn't start when Hou Yong screamed. He should have been killed earlier. And it's not about breaking limbs and then choking throats.
The killer must have choked his neck with the first move, then broke his limbs and pressed him into the basin. β
"No way, if you cut his throat first, he would already be dead, what's the use of breaking his limbs?
"The situation should be like this, Hou Yong was planning to wash his face. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and that person must have been known by Hou Yong and was unsuspected.
The moment the door was closed, the murderer suddenly shot out, instantly choking Hou Yong's neck, so fast that Hou Yong didn't even have time to lift his internal force. Otherwise, if it weren't for the defenseless, the murderer would not have been able to kill without making a sound.
After choking Hou Yong's neck, he broke his limbs again, just to make us think that Hou Yong was tortured to death. After arranging everything here, the murderer left in a dignified manner, and entered Yan Bijun's room, screaming at the entrance of the cave.
The entrance of the cave is in the shape of a trumpet, and it shouts at the entrance from below, and the sound seems to come from this room. The killer didn't jump out of the window at all, and of course you didn't see anything. β
After listening to Lu Sheng's speculation, Zuo Qi suddenly showed a happy and sincere expression of admiration, "Lord Lu is worthy of being Lord Lu, and with this clue, he can deduce such an impeccable modus operandi."
Indeed, if the murderer's martial arts are really that high, why do you need to take action against the disciples of Jingyangmen? Wouldn't it be more refreshing to go directly to the head of the crane? But if it is really as Lord Lu speculated, then the murderer must be one of the Jingyangmen. β
At this moment, the crane and white sheep have long been colorless, and their bodies are constantly trembling and trembling violently.
"Who is my insider...... Who is it?"
Suddenly, the crane white sheep stared at the disciples behind him with red eyes, and the expression of eating people like a wild lion frightened the disciples to their knees.
"Master, it's not meβ"
"Master, it's not me!"
"Master, you know, I had a fight with the fifth senior brother a few days ago, and he definitely wouldn't be defenseless against me......"
One by one, the disciples hurriedly cleared up the relationship, but the more they cleared up, the more sad and sad the bottom of the crane white sheep's heart became.
Fellow siblings, killed. None of them cried sadly, and none of them vowed to avenge Hou Yong. They were all watching the excitement, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.
"The one who died in the room, but it's your fellow brother!" Crane Aries looked up to the sky and sighed, and after a sigh, the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant.
"What is the purpose of the murderer to kill Hou Yong so deliberately? The spider asked, confused.
"That's a good question. Lu Sheng smiled faintly and gave the spider a thumbs up, "The murderer's motive for killing, I guess it should be to kill the mouth." β
"Extinguish?"
"Yes, extinguish. I also figured it out when I saw this hole. What happened that night, Hou Yong should have seen it through the hole. Therefore, Hou Yong should be the one who knows all the truth.
The reason why he didn't come forward to testify on the day of the accident is that I think he wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to reach some kind of agreement with the murderer. This is why Hou Yong is tight-lipped about it.
Originally, everyone was satisfied with the outcome of this transaction, but I came and the murderer panicked. The murderer was afraid that this matter would be found out, so he had to kill Hou Yong, the only one who knew the truth, immediately.
And this just proves that Lu Qin is not the real murderer. β
Lu Sheng's speculation is reasonable, but it is just speculation. Although these words have made Zuo Qi and Crane Aries believe that Lu Qin is not the murderer. However, the government's handling of cases is a rigorous job, and even if the speculation is reasonable, there must be sufficient evidence.
Therefore, even if everyone now believes that the real murderer is someone else, Lu Sheng can't release Lu Jian.
Although the murderer is self-defeating this time, the murderer is still a clever murderer. Even if Lu Sheng knew the murderer's modus operandi, he still didn't leave any clues. So it's impossible to catch the real culprit.
Lu Sheng came to Yan Bijun's room downstairs, and sure enough, he left some unclear footprints in the room. At the window opening, there is also a looming footprint, which should have jumped out of the window to leave.
Open the window, the air outside is a little humid.
The night passed in uneasiness, and Lu Sheng didn't know how many people hadn't fallen asleep last night. But the little junior brother of Jingyangmen is full of spirit when he sleeps.
The next day, through the window, I could see Shao Jie chasing birds all over the sky.
"Shao Jie, come on!" The spider downstairs suddenly stopped Shao Jie, Shao Jie's figure was in the air, and he paused for several breaths before slowly falling.
Lu Sheng was also washing up in front of the flower garden at the moment. Suddenly, a clear footprint appeared in the corner of his eye, which made Lu Sheng's face change suddenly.
Hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down and looked carefully.
The footprints should have been left by the murderer yesterday, and the murderer jumped out of the back window of Yan Bijun's room after arranging all this. It coincides with the location of this footprint.
The size of the footprints is a little larger than the average person, and from the depth of the footprints plus the height of the jump, Lu Sheng can easily conclude from experience that the height of the murderer should be more than seven feet and close to eight feet. The weight should be around seventy kilograms.
If the murderer is in this weight range, then the suspect is narrowed down a lot. Second, fourth, ninth, eleven.
Only these few disciples have a height and weight that meets this range.
Lu Sheng showed a happy smile on his face, and he didn't expect to inadvertently grasp another valuable clue. But in an instant, the smile was put away, and his face became gloomy.
Good guys, it's even a maze!
"Mother, you call me?"
"Mother?" This call didn't frighten the spider, even Lu Sheng raised his head with a blinded face.
Lu Sheng's eyes kept scanning Shao Jie and the spider. Spiders should ...... You can't give birth to such a big son, can you?
