When Leng Yi finished checking, the Rob brothers had already come running on horseback. With a waist knife at his waist and a hand on the hilt, he looked at the little bazaar vigilantly. Worried that the little bazaar would blame them for their brother's death, and fight with them.

At this time, the Middle Bazaar had not yet come.

Leng Yi asked Ram, "Where might he have gone?" ”

Ram said, "He probably went to see the sheep." It should be in the meadow upstream of the river. ”

"Who's going to call him?"

Little Bazaar said, "I'll go!" "Crying and running to lead the horse.

At this moment, I heard a person running along the path on the riverbank, panting, it was the Middle Bazaar! Hold a knife in your hand!

The middle bazaar saw the corpse of the eldest brother on the grass at a glance, he was shocked and angry, and ran over to see that the eldest brother was dead, and his chest was full of blood, he stood up, roared and brandished the knife and rushed towards the Rob brothers, but was grabbed by Leng Yi next to him, and snatched the waist knife in his hand. Said: "Don't mess around! Who exactly killed your big brother is still unclear! ”

"It's definitely them! Don't check, let me kill them! As he spoke, he was about to rush forward again. was grabbed by Leng Yi, took a few steps back, and almost sat on the grass.

Leng Yi said sharply: "Who dares to mess around, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

For a while, everyone in Changzhong stopped talking.

Leng Yi turned to look at the little bazaar: "Where were you just now?" ”

"Me?" Little Bazaar was a little flustered, "I'm sleeping on the hillside!" You are a guest of our tent, and Ram will spend the night with you, and we will have to sleep on the mountain. ”

Leng Yi was a little embarrassed. Ram said suddenly: "He said it was an overnight stay, but in fact he didn't do that with me at all, he wrapped me in my clothes and held me without moving." ”

The two brothers in the bazaar were very surprised, looking at Leng Yi, they wondered why this eldest brother of the Han family didn't eat the fat meat sent to his mouth. Jiazhen looked at Leng Yi and was very happy.

Leng Yi quickly changed the topic and asked the little bazaar: "Are you really sleeping alone on the top of the hill?" ”

"yes......"

"He's lying!" Jia Zhen said in general: "He has been next to me just now. ”

Little Bazaar was embarrassed and lowered his head.

Leng Yi said: "What's the matter? ”

Jia Zhen said: "We came out of the tent, I was going to sleep on the hillside, and he followed me and kept saying that he liked me or something. I was annoyed, he didn't listen to what I said, I lay on the grass, he was going to lie next to me, I scolded him, and he laughed. So I ran to the river and went to sleep, and he followed. I also want to move my hands and feet. I warned him, saying that if he dared to touch me, Brother Leng, you would definitely kill him, and he would be honest. But he still sat next to me on the grass and talked. Until I heard screams. ”

Leng Yi nodded, looked at the little bazaar and said, "Is that the case?" ”

"Yes." Little Bazaar cowered and said, "I don't dare to say it, because I'm afraid that you will get angry and hit me." ”

Leng Yi turned his head to look at the middle bazaar and said, "What about you?" Where were you just now? ”

"I'm guarding the sheep over the valley! If they don't watch it, the wolves on the steppe will run away with the sheep. ”

"Who can prove it?"

"It's just me, how can I prove ......" Zhong Bazaar reacted and glared at Leng Yi: "Brother Han, you won't suspect that I killed my eldest brother, right?" ”

"There is a homicide case, and all the people who are suspected of committing crimes, I have to investigate them one by one! It's not just you! ”

"Why should I kill my eldest brother?"

On the side, Jiazhen suddenly put her head to Leng Yi's ear and whispered a few words.

Leng Yi nodded and said, "Does your eldest brother rarely let you and your brother touch Ram, and he is alone?" ”

Jiazhen translated this sentence, and Ram next to her said: "That's the case." When the two of them slept with me, they complained to me about the eldest brother! Even wanted him to die. ”

Both the middle bazaar and the small bazaar changed color on their faces, looked at Leng Yi and said, "No, I was joking, we never thought of killing the eldest brother." ”

Leng Yi said: "This already shows that you have a motive to kill!" Anyway, who can prove that you were guarding the flock? ”

The middle bazaar said: "I said, I am alone, no one proves it!" ”

"Then you are the murderer of your brother!"

"Why?"

"Because this place is in the middle of nowhere, and no outsiders can come in the middle of the night. Just a few of us. Ram and I were in the tent and could testify to each other. Jiazhen and Little Bazaar talk by the river and can also testify to each other. The Rob brothers were on the other side of the river at the time, and there was no way to kill them. There is alibi. It's just you, there are no witnesses, who are you if it's not you? ”

"I ......" Baza stammered: "I ......, so to speak, I also have alibi!" ”

"What evidence?"

The middle bazaar pointed to the opposite side of the river bank and said, "At that time, I was in the grove above the valley behind Rob's tent. ”

"What are you doing there?"

The middle bazaar pressed the hilt of the knife and said, "Let's be honest, I'm looking for an opportunity to kill Brother Rob there!" ”

Brother Rob was furious, and also pressed the hilt of his knife with his hand, glaring at the middle bazaar: "You want to kill us?" After drinking before, the eldest brother of the Han family said, it will be a family in the future, why do you still use the knife? ”

Zhong Bazaar said: "Okay, you are not the same, just wait for the eldest brother of the Han family to leave, so that you can rob Ram, anyway, either you die or we die, everyone understands in their hearts!" ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, how could these two brothers be like this? If you say it well, you will change your face when you turn your face. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Okay!" Say no more! Find out who the murderer is first! - Middle Bazaar, you said that you were on the other side of the valley at that time, what proof do you have? ”

"I was guarding the flock, thinking about the smirk of Brother Rob, I guessed that they would definitely wait for the Han family's eldest brother to leave before they moved, I was afraid that they would not only rob Ram, but also kill us! It's better to strike first. So I crept into the hillside behind their tents, and as I approached them, I heard you shouting, because they were far away, and I couldn't see or hear them, and then I saw them come out of their tents and talk to you, and then they took their horses out and rode away. - If I wasn't there, I shouldn't have known about that. ”

Leng Yi thought for a while and said, "You come with me!" I'm going to ask you separately! ”

Leng Yi called the middle bazaar aside, translated by Jiazhen, and asked: "You say a little more specifically, what you see, so that you can know whether you are telling the truth or not by comparing it with what they said!" ”

"Good!" The middle bazaar said: "Their situation by the river is far away, so they can't see clearly, but when they came to the back of the tent to lead the horses, they were close to me, and I saw clearly, it was the big Rob who wanted to put on the saddle, and the little Rob said no, so he rode like this." Little Rob also said that he should bring a knife so as not to suffer anything. When Rob the Great, who was on his horse, heard this, he turned over and dismounted, and went back to the tent to get his sword. Then they rode away. As soon as I heard that, I was worried that something would happen, so I ran all the way back. ”

Leng Yi asked, and then asked Brother Rob separately, and sure enough, it was the same as what the Bazaar said.

Since the Central Bazaar can tell the specific situation of the Rob brothers on the other side, and these situations cannot be seen on this side of the river, only on the other side of the river. Therefore, the Middle Bazaar was also on the opposite side of the river bank at that time, and it was impossible to commit a crime!

At this time, Leng Yi felt that the case had reached an impasse, and all the suspects had no possibility of committing the crime. It's dark now, and I can't see clearly. Only after dawn can we re-investigate the scene and try to find new clues.

Leng Yi walked to the shore first, took the murder weapon knife, returned to them, and said, "It's too late now, I'll continue to investigate the case tomorrow morning." Because the murderer is among us, no one can leave here. You give me all the knives, and I will keep them for you for the time being until the culprits are found. lest you fight with knives! ”

The Bazaar and Rob brothers did not dare to disobey, so they had to hand over the knife to Leng Yi.

Leng Yi said again: "Put the corpse in place and don't move." You all rest on the grass outside the tent, watch each other, don't go to the corpse, and don't leave without permission, or you're the murderer! ”

After arranging, Leng Yi asked Jiazhen and Ram to sleep in the tent with him. Of course, sleep alone and let Jiazhen and Ram's second daughter sleep together.

The Grand Bazaar died, Ram had been crying, and he didn't have the heart to find Leng Yi to make love. After all, living together for so long is somewhat emotional. In particular, the Grand Bazaar hardly allowed the two brothers to touch Ram, so she lived mainly with the Grand Bazaar.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning the sun came out and everything was bright.

Jia Zhen and Ram have already gotten up and made breakfast and tea together.

Leng Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, he didn't go out to investigate the case, because he didn't know how to investigate next.

In front of him were the knives of the Bazaar and Rob brothers, four knives of varying lengths.

Leng Yi hadn't seen what the ancient Tubo waist knife looked like, so he picked one up, took it out and looked at it, the cold light was sensitive, it was not bad. He picked up another handful, and at this point, he was stunned for a moment, because he felt that the ribbon wrapped around the hilt of the knife was wet. He touched it again, and it was indeed wet. Put it down, picked up the other knives and felt it, the ribbons wrapped around the handles of the other three knives were all dry, but the only one was wet.

He placed the knife side by side with the other three knives, and after observing for a while, he picked up the bloody murder weapon he had taken back from the scene, compared it, and couldn't help but light up his eyes.

Leng Yi asked Ram, who was busy making tea, "Where was the knife that cut the meat last night?" ”

Ram quickly took the knife out of the empty bamboo basket containing the meat and handed it to him. Leng Yi didn't answer, and asked again: "How many knives do you have at home?" ”

"Four, one for each of the three brothers, and one for each of them, and one for cutting meat or something."

"Do you know how many knives Rob has?"

"It's also three, one for each of them. Keep one at home. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, they negotiated with the Bazaar brothers to share me, I have followed the Bazaar to their tent a few times, helping with cooking and stuff, I know what they have in the house."

Leng Yi said: "Okay, I already know who the murderer is, you two come out, let's go find out the murderer!" ”
