Yang Qiuchi nodded: "It's completely possible." So what exactly does this graphic mean? ”

Song Yun'er glared at Yang Qiuchi dryly and shook her head.

Yang Qiuchi sighed, ordered Peng Laoqi to be brought up, and explained to him that his suspicion of crime had been eliminated and released.

As for Xie Deshun, because he tried to steal Chunhong, although he failed to succeed, he had already violated the king's law and should be punished according to the law. So he is still in custody.

Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a name. After a busy afternoon, all the clues were broken, and both of them were very frustrated. It was getting dark.

Nangong Xiong came in with two people, and Yang Qiuchi looked up and saw that it was Master Jin and Zhan Zheng, the head catcher. The two bowed to Yang Qiuchi, and reported that the yamen's arrest had arrived and was waiting downstairs.

Yang Qiuchi beckoned them to sit down, explained the two cases, and then let the two of them look at the pattern next to Chunhong's corpse. Let the two analyze what Chunhong is drawing.

The two studied for a long time, and also said that it might be a surname from the side, and they couldn't think of other possible surnames.

Master Jin carefully looked at the shoe prints on the ground and said, "Sir, do these footprints need to be investigated?" "He has been following Yang Qiuchi for so long, and he also knows some of Yang Qiuchi's detection skills.

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "These should be the ...... left by the turtles in the Spring Mansion when they came in to check after they found out that Chunhong had died" Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi suddenly stopped, pondered for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, why must they have left it when they came in?" Why can't it be left behind by the murderer after stepping on the blood! ”

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what Yang Qiuchi was talking to himself.

Yang Qiuchi walked to the window, touched his chin and thought for a while, it is unlikely that the murderer will leave from the front after the murder, because he has to pass through the lobby, he is worried that he may be seen by others, so it is very likely that he left from the back window, although the murderer stepped on the blood, but he found it in time, took off his shoes and fled, so that he would not leave other shoe prints!

Therefore, in those bloody footprints, there may also be the footprints of the murderer!

When the most likely becomes impossible, the unlikely becomes the most likely. Now it's time to look into these unlikely possibilities - analyze the bloody footprints left at the scene!

In order to prevent the net from slipping through, Yang Qiuchi instructed Zhan Zheng to immediately collect all the shoes of all thirty-two people in the garden, and take them to the scene to compare them with the bloody footprints at the scene. The focus is on the bloody shoes of people who were there at the time.

Several lanterns were lit in the room, and after comparing them one by one, Yang Qiuchi pointed to a bloody footprint on the floor and said, "This footprint is likely to have been left by the murderer!" ”

Song Yun'er, Master Jin and Zhan Zheng hurriedly gathered around to look, and Song Yun'er asked in surprise and joy, "How do you know?" ”

"All the bloody footprints on the floor have found their owners, and these people have alibi evidence of the fifth watch." Yang Qiuchi pointed to a large pile of shoes next to him and said, "None of these shoes are the same as this bloody footprint on the floor, so this bloody footprint is not left by the people in the garden, it is likely to be the murderer!" ”

Song Yun'er said: "Can't the shoes be missed and not extracted?" And the shoes that were not extracted happened to be this one shoe print. ”

Yang Qiuchi turned his head to look at Zhan Zheng, and Zhan Zheng hurriedly said: "No, we searched carefully, all the shoes of everyone in this garden are here, even the shoes on their feet have been pulled off, and all the bustards, girls, and others are now barefoot." ”

Song Yun'er smiled: "I know you are very serious, I just said that there is such a possibility." ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "There is such a possibility, but the surname may be very small, didn't I say that it is necessary to start from the place with the largest possible surname, not the other way around." ”

Song Yun'er sighed, and said: "That's not right, let's not analyze, should the murderer be the person in this garden?" ”

"That's just one of the biggest possibilities," Yang Qiuchi said, "Now that this greatest possibility has become impossible after investigation, we will start investigating those possibilities that were originally determined to be not too big." This possibility is that the murderer came from outside the garden. ”

"From outside the garden?" Song Yun'er had a bitter face, "Outside the garden, it's the entire Enyang Town and even the entire Bazhou, how can I check!" ”

Yang Qiuchi touched his chin and groaned for a while, after he found this clue, the corresponding detection plan was quickly formed, and he ordered: "If outsiders want to enter Lichun Garden to kill people, there are only two possibilities, one is to pass through the gate, and the other is to enter through the wall." Yun'er, you are the best at climbing over the wall, you go to carefully inspect the outer wall of Lichun Garden to see if there are any traces of climbing and climbing. I'm here to interrogate the old man who watched the gate in the garden. ”

Yang Qiuchi said that Song Yuner is the best at climbing over the wall, and if she is someone else, it is dejorative, and if she is replaced by Song Yuner, it is a compliment, because she is most proud of her cornices and walls. nodded and smiled at the moment and went out.

Yang Qiuchi instructed Zhan Zheng to lead the arresters to investigate Peng Si's case first, and find the local Li Zheng to investigate and visit, to see if Peng Si had fought with someone or had been hit on the head a month ago.

Then, Yang Qiuchi instructed Nangong Xiong to bring the old man Long who was guarding the door of Lichun Garden.

Long Laohan is in his fifties, his body is quite sturdy, and he looks honest on the outside. When he came in, he looked at the corpses covered with white cloth and the bloody faces on the floor, and he was suddenly frightened. Walk to the makeshift lobby with your head bowed and kneel down and kowtow.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Raise your head." ”

Old Man Long raised his head slowly, although his face was facing Yang Qiuchi, he couldn't look directly at the eldest master according to the rules, so he still lowered his eyes.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Old man Long, when I sent someone to investigate earlier, you said that no one in the garden had ever come in, right?" ”

"Back to the old man's words: no one has really come in." Long Laohan's voice trembled slightly, and he didn't know if he was afraid of officials or afraid in his heart.

"Humph!" Yang Qiuchi didn't speak, and stared at Old Man Long with a sneer.

Long Laohan didn't hear Yang Qiuchi's question for a long time, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at it, and when he saw Yang Qiuchi's cold gaze, he was startled, and hurriedly lowered his eyes: "Villain...... What the villain said is true. ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "You just entered the door, have you ever seen bloody footprints on the floor?" ”

The room was brightly lit, as bright as day, and of course Old Man Long saw the scattered bloody footprints on the ground. Busy said: "Yes, the villain saw it." ”

"Tell you, this official has compared the bloody footprints at the scene, and one of the shoe prints was not left by someone in the garden, indicating that someone must have come in last night, hehe, how do you explain it?"

Long Laohan's forehead had begun to sweat, and he looked at the bloody murder scene next to him with a slight side face. A loud bang scared the old man Long. Yang Qiuchi shouted: "Dare to disobey the people, dare to deceive the official, and still don't tell the truth, do you really want the official to be punished!" ”

The old man of the dragon prostrated on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said tremblingly: "Big master, villain...... The villain is recruited. ”

"Speak quickly!"

"Yes...... Someone came in. ”

"Who?" Yang Qiuchi held back the joy in his heart, leaned out and asked.

"Yes...... It is the maid cuihuan on the old man's house. ”

"What? Old Man Peng's maid Shui Wanqi's maid Cuihuan? Yang Qiuchi was shocked, the suspect was actually Shui Wanqi's personal maid ring cuihuan, and then immediately thought of the symbol that Chunhong drew before she died, her eyes lit up, yes, that pattern that is not round and square, isn't it just a circle, it's just that it is not drawn in a coma!

The word Cuihuan has to be written, which is impossible for Chunhong, who is seriously injured and about to die, so she drew a ring to indicate that the murderer is related to the ring, isn't the cuihuan an emerald green ring, haha, it turns out that the murderer is Shui Wanqi's personal little maid Cuihuan!

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, this is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, hahaha.

But Yang Qiuchi only laughed a few times, and then realized that something was wrong, this Cuihuan was a woman, and it was impossible to do that with Chunhong, and obviously it couldn't be the person Xie Deshun said who was doing things with her on Chunhong's bed, and it couldn't be the person who left semen in Chunhong's body.

Yang Qiuchi frowned and thought, if Cuihuan was the murderer, who was the man who left semen in Chunhong's body?

There are two possibilities: first, this man, like Xie Deshun, was stealing food in the garden, but he was very cunning in concealment, and he couldn't find out, he arrived before Cuihuan, and took advantage of Chunhong's coma to finish the matter and slip away, and then Cuihuan came to kill Chunhong.

Second, the man and Cuihuan were in the same group, and the man first annihilated Chunhong, and then killed Chunhong. Since Cuihuan is the maid of the Peng family, and Chunhong is the concubine of the seventh master of the Peng family, who has already decided to marry and is about to pass through the door, the two should know each other.

So before Chunhong died, she recognized the cuihuan, and then drew the ring to remind the murderer.

Yang Qiuchi figured out this and asked, "When did Cuihuan come?" What are you here for? ”

"It seems to be the middle of the day or the end of the day, and the sky is not yet dawn. She's coming...... She came to ......," the old man couldn't say clearly.

At the end of the day or at the end of the day? It was around five o'clock in the morning, within the predicted time of death. Yang Qiuchi shouted: "What a fame! What the hell is she here for? Say it! ”
