Huang Mei nodded and said, "Yes, we originally went to send it together and went back together." Only the last two were delivered separately, so if you go together, the second person's barbecue will be cold when it arrives. That's why it's sent separately. ”

Leng Yi said: "This is where you are smart, you only have two times to act alone, this is not enough to cut the beam,—— this is another fixed thinking of ours, we always feel that the beam should be sawed in one day, so we unconsciously helped the murderer find an alibi." ”

"Didn't you finish sawing in a day?" Cheng Luoyan suddenly woke up on the side, "Could it be that she found time to saw off more than half of the beam first, and then came to cut the rest later?" ”

Cheng Luojie also understood, and immediately said, "That's right! We stayed at this inn the other day, and she had time to cut most of the beams! The upper room of the post house was only inhabited by court officials, and no court officials lived in the post house that day. When the inn guests are not staying, the room is unlocked, which is convenient for cleaning. She could easily go in and saw the beam. The house was very dark, and the saw edge was very small, and after sawing, I smeared the cracks with the dirt on the beams, and I couldn't see it at all! ”

Leng Yi exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the god of the six gates of the capital, and the analysis is the Tao." ”

Lin Ling said again: "Even if this is the case, I am not the only one who lives in the post station, the nine of us live, why do I say that I did it alone?" ”

Leng Yi said: "Because you have to complete the work of continuing to cut the beam, among the nine of you, Zheng Yan and Li Fen have been protecting my wife closely, and they have never left, and my wife can testify." And I know this best......

Cheng Luohuan heard Leng Yi call her a catcher, and called her sister Cheng Luojie a catcher, she looked very intimate, and couldn't help but look at her sister and smile.

Leng Yi continued: "Yin Eagle and Wei are both patrolling outside, and the two of them are walking in opposite directions, and they will meet once in less than a cup of tea, and they can testify to each other. Therefore, several of them can be ruled out because they do not have the time to commit the crime later. Except for the deceased, only you and Huang Mei have time to commit the crime. ”

Lin Ling said: "Then Huangmei is also suspicious, why do you say it's me?" ”

"Because Huangmei doesn't have as much strength as you." Leng Yi walked to the ruins, picked up the short beam on the ground, pointed to the hole left by the arrow on it, and said: "Just now, I was hunting outside with Jiezhutou, and I shot a wild sheep, but I didn't shoot, I shot a big tree behind. The head catcher helped me retrieve the shaft of the arrow, and it came out with a light pull. I was a little embarrassed, but I looked closely at the hole in the trunk and found that it was shallow. I was surprised, and asked Jiezhutou about it, and learned that this bow was just an ordinary iron bow, which ordinary people use. I looked at the hole in the tree, which was far less deep than the one on the beam, and the distance I shot my arrow was about the same distance as the murderer had shot the beam. However, the hole shot by the murderer is far deeper than mine, which means that the murderer's strength is far greater than mine! ”

Speaking of this, Leng Yi handed the short beam with the broken arrow shaft in his hand to Cheng Luojie: "Look at it, is that the case?" This arrow hole doesn't seem to be something that ordinary people can form, right? ”

Cheng Luojie looked at it, and then handed it to Yin Eagle and Cheng Luojie to see. They all nodded together.

Leng Yi said: "After I found out this, I immediately remembered that when we were hunting before, the big bear, so heavy, bent the horse's back. However, Lin Ling, you are alone, so you lifted the big bear up. Huang Mei only helps, in fact, most of them are carried by you, at that time, I was very frightened, you are a girl, why is your strength so great. It doesn't match your name. ”

Cheng Luoyan said: "That's right, she is a famous strong man in our six doors, and she also practices hard martial arts. If you hadn't said it earlier, I would have succeeded in a sneak attack, and it would have been very difficult to catch her. ”

Lin Ling said: "You don't need to have a lot of strength to shoot such a deep hole, you can do it with Zhang Qiang's crossbow." I can't say I did it! ”

"A strong crossbow may be able to create such a deep hole, but hanging upside down and sawing through a thick beam is not something that a strong crossbow can do."

"Hanging upside down?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Leng Yi walked to the broken thick beam and said, "Judging from the fracture and the joints on both sides, the saw edge of the beam is from the bottom up, so that when the hanging rope is burned at the end, the beam can be cracked and broken down." So, the murderer had to cut off the beam from below. To achieve this goal, it is difficult to stand on the ground, and the most comfortable posture is to hang upside down with the short sorghum above the side upside down, and hold a saw in the other hand to see the thick main beam. - Because this position is sawing from the bottom up, you have to have a lot of arm strength to see it in. Huang Mei doesn't have the strength. ”

Lin Ling rolled her eyes and said, "She doesn't have it, and others may not have it!" For example, the hunter, and the officers and soldiers who deliver the letter, they can do the same! And, before that, they had time to cut off the beam! ”

"But they didn't have time to finish the back half and burn the rope! The hunter and the yellow girl in the kitchen were feeding Siniang's child, and the three officers and soldiers were barbecuing, and they never left. The other guys, too, are also helping out and are not leaving, they can prove to each other. It's just you, and on two occasions you act alone, just in time to sawing off the remaining beams and burning the ropes! ”

Lin Ling's face turned pale, she bit her lip and turned out the last hole card: "But I don't know how to shoot arrows, Cheng Luojie can testify that I practice foreign boxing." So, I can't shoot the arrow that burns the rope! ”

"Of course you can't, and neither can anyone else." Leng Yi smiled: "In order to fake the illusion that outsiders are shooting arrows from the wall, you have removed the snow on the wall. However, after testing, we determined that the arrows fired from the wall could not hit this position of the hole because the eaves blocked it. So, the murderer could only shoot in the wall, and we found the place where the hole could be shot, which is this clearing. However, from the archery line shown in the arrow hole, the arrow can only be shot in mid-air at a height of one person to form a hole at such an angle, and it is difficult for anyone to reach such a height as one person in the air. ”

Leng Yi pointed to the open space, and then said: "There is no support and reliance around this place, but the murderer's arrow must be accurate, and it must be shot just under the rope to burn the rope, as I said just now, it is difficult for anyone to jump so high, even if the murderer jumps so high, because of the shaking of the body, the accuracy of the arrow shot must be very poor." - Actually, there is no need for such aerial archery. It can also be achieved by other means, such as by hand. ”

"By hand?" Cheng Luojie asked in surprise.

"That's right! This arrow was not shot, but pierced with a hand! ”

"Pierced in?" Cheng Luojie and the others looked at each other.

"That's right!" Leng Yi said, "As soon as we see an arrow, we will think that it was shot with a bow and arrow, and we will think about the person who can shoot an arrow, but the murderer is a person who can't shoot an arrow." The murderer took advantage of a common habit of thinking to take advantage of the loophole and avoid our attention. In fact, she got on the beam, stuck the rocket under the rope with her hands, and when needed, just ignited the ignition on the rocket. Because of her great strength, this piercing was deeper than an ordinary bow and arrow, and only then did the horse's feet be exposed. ”

Cheng Luoyan said: "There is another question,—— there are three upper rooms in this station, how does she know which one you live in?" And how do you know when you're coming to stay? Cut it in advance, tie the rope, and not be afraid of being discovered? ”
