Leng Yi paused, and then said: "It's just right, that wolf may not have been grilled yet, and everyone is uncomfortable after eating." followed out one by one, so that everyone was suspected of murder. As a result, after entering the cave, he was poisoned by the miasma inside, and his death became suffocating. Since he already had a choke mark on his neck before, I was misled into thinking that he died of strangulation, and I conducted a wrong investigation based on that time period. And you, deliberately followed us out for convenience, thus proving that you were not at the scene of the crime. The first got rid of suspicion. ”

Xue Siniang's face turned pale and lowered her head.

He Hei said with a black face: "Is there a miasma in the cave where my brother died?" Why did I go in with you and not be poisoned? ”

"That's because the miasma inside has dissipated! When Xue Siniang found this cave, the inside of Shandong was blocked by stones, which was the stone at the mouth of the cave! She asked He Erniu to move the stone away after coming, and went in first to wait for her inside. He Erniu didn't know that there was miasma in the cave, so he moved the stone into it, but he was poisoned and died. Since it was already a few hours later when we found the body, most of the miasma inside had dissipated, but when we went inside, we still felt a little dizzy, and the flame of the torch was not as full as it was outside. This is the best proof that there is a miasma in it. ”

He Hei said with a black face: "Yes, yes! I went in and felt dizzy. I didn't expect there to be miasma in there. - Unexpectedly, it was you, the silver woman, who killed my brother, and I killed you to avenge my brother! ”

He Hei was about to pounce as he spoke, but was stopped by Leng Yi. said to Xue Siniang: "One thing, I don't understand, what did you kill He Erniu for, and why did you kill Damaga and Lao Liu Tou, do you have the same motive for killing the three of them?" ”

He Heimian and the others were even more surprised, and asked together: "Damaga was also killed by her?" ”

Xue Siniang shook her head a little flustered: "I didn't kill him, he went to report the case with He Heiyan and the two of them, and he was killed on the way, I have been here in the cave, how can I kill him?" ”

"Of course you can, we've used your methods to cross the cliff and prove that you can get to the other side of the cliff in less than a cup of tea. - He Heimian and Sister-in-law Lu, do you have a number of arrows? ”

"Of course there are, fifteen arrows in a pot. Thirty in total! The two said.

"Then you count, right?"

The two of them took the quiver and counted it, and sure enough, there was one missing!

Leng Yi looked at Xue Siniang and said, "This arrow was taken away by you and used to shoot Damaga to death!" In the past few days, you should have understood everything around you, you estimate the time it will take them to walk that way, and then you take your son out to build a snowman under the pretext of taking him, you avoid him, you cut down a bamboo, climb over, wrap your feet in dead pine bark, cover your smaller footprints, and then, with a bow made of bamboo, with a stolen arrow, shoot Damaga from the side of the road, at close range. After I found out that it was you who killed Dharmaga, I began to understand a little, why did you kill them, and at the same time, I also understood that the old Liu Tou who stayed in the cave must be in danger, so I used your method to cross the cliff and rushed back, fortunately, because it was in time, it stopped you from continuing to kill, and successfully saved the old Liu Tou! ”

Old Liu Tou said sharply to Xue Siniang: "Why do you want to kill us? ”

"His goal is not only to kill the three of you, but all of us!"

"Why?"

Leng Yi pointed at her cheek and said, "These are the stabbing words of the thorn with the army!" If I'm not mistaken, all three of you, including Pigtail, are prisoners who have escaped from exile! ”

Xue Siniang and Lao Liu Tou both had discolored faces.

Xue Siniang said: "What about my son! Pig tails! Pig tails! ”

The pig's tail agreed from outside the cave, ran in, and threw himself into Xue Siniang's arms.

Xue Siniang hugged her son, burst into tears, and said: "On the first day we fled to this cave and met He Erniu, He Erniu actually saw the tattoo on my son's cheek, and secretly threatened me that if I didn't listen to him and destroy the silver, he would denounce us." I can only listen, I suspect that he told his brother about it, so I kept provoking their relationship, wanting He Erniu to kill his brother He Heiface, and then I found another opportunity to kill him. But when you came, I changed my plans, and it just so happened that I found a miasma cave in which someone died in our penal colony. I just thought Brother Leng said that, it just so happened that he also liked stimulation, I first choked his neck, and then let him go into the cave to wait for me, but he was poisoned by the miasma. ”

Leng Yi said: "Then you killed Damaga because you wanted to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

"Yes, at that time I estimated that I only had one chance, I could only shoot one of them, the other one would definitely run, I could shoot at close range, but not at a distance. However, the two of them went to report to the police together, and the two of them had a grudge, so that if one of them died, the other would also be beheaded as a murderer. Originally, I wanted to shoot He Hei to death, because I suspected that He Erniu had already told him about it. However, at that time, Damaga was in front, so I could only shoot first, so as not to catch me from behind. ”

"You want to kill Lao Liu Tou so that he wants to denounce you?"

"Yes!" Xue Siniang said: "He guessed that I killed He Erniu, and he also guessed what the purpose was, so he threatened me that if I didn't agree to sleep with him, he would tell you about it, so that my son would go to exile again." For the sake of my son, I had to agree, and it just so happened that he, like He Erniu, also had a hobby of excitement, so I killed him in the same way. I didn't expect you to be able to save even the dead. ”

Leng Yi looked at Lao Liu: "She's right, right?" ”

Lao Liu lowered his head and said: "Yes, I also said it casually, if she really doesn't agree, I won't sue her, after all, once I say it, he and I will both escape from the exile, and I myself will be implicated." ”

Leng Yi said: "No matter what, you use coercion to annihilate silver women, which is also a crime!" And be punished! What's more, you're still a criminal on the run! ”

Old Liu Tou knelt down and said, "I was wrong, little brother, you can forgive me!" I will remember you well for the rest of my life! ”

"Needless to say, I won't let you go." Leng Yi took the belts of the two of them and tied them up.

He said with a black face: "The real murderer has been caught, what should I do?" ”

Leng Yi said to He Heimian and Sister-in-law Lu: "You two immediately go to the yamen to report the case, bring the arrest quickly, and my wife and I are guarding the two prisoners with the corpse here." ”

He said with a black face: "What about ...... and those jewels?" Do you want me to take it to the yamen and give it to them? ”

"No need, don't worry, we have all seen the number of jewels, and when the people from the yamen come, I will take them out on the spot and count them and hand them over to the yamen. After finding this Tibetan relative, he handed them over. ”

Transmitted? Who believes you! He Heimian thought to himself, won't you wait for us to leave and run away with your jewels? If something of value is so valuable, a fool will stay here and wait to hand it over to the yamen. However, I can't beat him, so I can only listen to him. At that moment, they left a bow and arrow for Leng Yi to defend themselves, and took his wife and sister-in-law Lu to the county seat overnight.

In the next few days, Lao Liu Tou and Xue Siniang kept begging Leng Yi to let them go, but Leng Yi ignored them, and the two of them also shut up. Anyway, there was wolf meat from the two wolves, and dry food, enough for them to eat, so they didn't have to go out hunting, so they guarded the two prisoners in the cave.

Four days later, Master Dong and Wu Zhutou of the Yamen arrived with the catcher and the leader. Leng Yi called the two aside, took the mask and showed his true face, the two were shocked and hurriedly saluted.

Leng Yi told the story, explained the case, told the two not to reveal their whereabouts, and said that he would take his wife and continue the private visit to Weifu. The two hurriedly agreed.

Leng Yi put on a mask, and in front of He Heimian and Sister-in-law Lu, he sorted out the jewelry and handed it over to Master Dong and them. At the same time, the organization searched again to find the nine-eyed stone jewelry. However, in the end, it ended in disappointment.

In the past few days, he has asked Xue Siniang, and learned that there is still a family in the penal camp, so he asked Wu Zhutou to send someone to send the pig's tail back to the penal center, and Xue Siniang and Lao Liu Tou need to make a new verdict after the trial of the new crime.

After the confession, the arresters carried the corpse, escorted the prisoner, and returned to the county seat.

Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang continued to stay in this cave, where there were no people for more than 100 miles, and it was the best place to hide. They left some dry food, enough for them to eat for a while.

The two stayed in the cave for a month, during which they went to the cliff to climb and exercise many times, and Zhuo Qiaoniang had changed from the original only being able to let Leng Yi hang it to learning to climb some places that were not too steep. At the same time, I am no longer afraid of climbing.

Spring is blooming, everything is recovering, so the snow is gradually melting.

Leng Yi estimated that the killer already knew the news that the thing was not with him, and he should not come to assassinate him again. Only then did he take his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang to prepare to go down the mountain and return to the county office.

When they walked out of the cave and passed by the place where the pig's tail had built a snowman before, Zhuo Qiaoniang suddenly sighed, pointed to the trunk of a crooked old pine tree and said, "What was then?" ”

Leng Yi raised his eyes and sighed, only to see a thumb-sized gem full of holes, placed upright on the trunk of the tree!

Leng Yi picked it up and looked at it, and said happily: "This should be the nine-eyed stone jewel lost by the Tibetan Damaga!" How can it be on the trunk of a tree? ”

It turned out that when Pig Tail was holding this gem in his hand, he didn't know how valuable these beautiful little stones were, so he grabbed a handful of snow and formed a snow ball, and during a snowball fight, it happened to be the snow that fell on this pine tree. At that time, all eyes were focused on the ground, and they neglected to check the snow on the trunks. So, none of them were found. The spring flowers are blooming, and the snow is melting, and this is revealed.
