"Canghai, what the hell is going on? Why do you say he's a murderer? When this king came, he asked everyone carefully, when Han Da died, he was still outside the Zhangxu, how could he kill people? Li Yu asked with a puzzled face.

"Yes, Lord Li, when the lower official came, he also restored the case, judging from the situation at that time, when the deceased died, no one approached at all, how could he be the murderer?" Luoyang Mansion Yin also echoed and said.

"Who said you can't kill people if you're not around?" Li Canghai asked rhetorically with his hands in his sleeves.

Li Yu and Luoyang Mansion Yin were stunned at the same time.

Li Yu touched his chin and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Oh, this king knows, is he a master?" Able to use internal force to stab the dagger into the chest of the deceased in the air? ”

Thinking of this, Li Yu took a few steps back in surprise, waved his right hand, and shouted: "Come on, take him down!" ”

At the same time as his words fell, Qi Yunhe's figure suddenly went castrated like the wind, and with one move, he held the owner's veins in his hand.

Hearing a crisp sound of Gaba, the owner's arm suddenly dislocated, and he howled in pain.

"Rao...... Spare your life! The owner's face was pale, and cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead, and he almost lost his breath from the pain.

Li Canghai rolled his eyes and said, "Lord Wang, I didn't say that he knows martial arts!" ”

At this time, Qi Yunhe also frowned and said, "Lord Wang, this person really doesn't know martial arts. ”

Li Yu grinned awkwardly, and said with a smile: "This...... Ahem, this king is testing your reflexes to see if you can really protect this king. ”

Qi Yunhe shrugged helplessly. With a sigh, he put the owner's dislocated arm on him.

"The sea. Don't sell it anymore, tell this king quickly. What's going on here? Li Yu asked impatiently.

"It's actually quite simple, he's just using some props." Li Canghai said lightly.

"Props? What props? Li Yu looked around and asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Canghai stared at the owner and said deeply: "Since you don't want to speak, let this official speak for you." ”

"Grass People...... I don't know what the adults mean! "The owner of the workshop was dislocated from his arm, and although he was put back again, his face was still blue from pain.

"Then the official will let you die and understand." Li Canghai walked to the corpse and said, "Actually, the most critical part of the whole case. It's about the method of killing. As everyone can see, the deceased died on the inside of the table, and there was no one around him, how was he killed? As long as you know this, the whole case will be solved. ”

Li Yu frowned, made a thoughtful gesture, and nodded: "Yes, what you said makes sense." But the question is, how did Han Da get killed? ”

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes. said: "Don't worry, wait for the next official to talk about it one by one." In order to understand the murderer's murder methods, we must first understand one thing, whether the murderer killed impulsively. Or is it a premeditated murder? ”

Li Yu shook the folding fan and said puzzledly: "What's the difference?" ”

"Impulsive killing, all because you can't control the anger in your heart will kill in anger. This method of killing often does not have much preparation, and the clues left behind are relatively obvious. Murder is different. Premeditated murder is a method of murder that is carried out after careful consideration. There will be very few traces of this technique, because every step is expected by the murderer. Li Canghai explained.

Li Yu gently patted it in his hand with a folding fan, and muttered: "So, this is a premeditated murder?" ”

Li Canghai snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, because there are very few clues left at the scene, it can be concluded that this is a long-planned murder, not a suicide." ”

"Oh, no wonder you didn't believe that Han Da committed suicide in the first place, I see!" Li Yu suddenly realized.

Li Canghai nodded, and then said: "After determining this, all that remains is to look for relevant clues, although the murderer will try his best to erase all clues when he kills, but Skynet is magnificent and not leaky, there will always be something he misses." ”

"So, you found some clues?" Li Yu asked.

Li Canghai did not speak, but took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and opened it, which contained the vermilion lacquer powder he had found under the pillars.

Li Yu and Luoyang Mansion Yin hurriedly approached, the two looked at the handkerchiefs, and glanced at each other again, both confused.

"What is this?" Li Yu scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"This is the clue." Li Canghai said lightly.

"What kind of clue is this?" Li Yu's brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Li Canghai with a strange look, wanting to see if Li Canghai was deliberately playing tricks on him.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "Lord Wang, please come with me." ”

Li Canghai led Li Yu to the pillar and said, "The thing on this pillar is the vermilion lacquer on this pillar." ”

Li Yu patted it on the pillar with his hand, got some vermilion lacquer, and then compared it with the powder on the papa, nodded and said, "This is indeed vermilion lacquer, but what does this mean?" ”

Li Canghai pointed to the bottom of the pillars and said, "The suspicion is actually here. ”

Li Yu and the others hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, and found that there was a clear trace of vermilion paint falling off at a finger's height from the ground on the beams and columns.

He and Luoyang Mansion Yin looked at each other, but they were still confused, and said in their hearts, what kind of suspicion is this?

Li Canghai said lightly: "The reason why there are such obvious traces of vermilion paint peeling off here is because there was a rope tied here. ”

Li Yu and Luoyang Mansion Yin nodded at the same time, but he still asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?" ”

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and then said: "Let's press this matter for the time being, and then talk about the second doubt." ”

Li Yu looked at him inexplicably and said, "Canghai, this matter of vermilion paint has not yet been clarified, why is there another suspicious point?" ”

"Don't be impatient, these two doubts are closely related, and when the lower officials make it clear, the prince will understand." Li Canghai said.

After a pause. Li Canghai walked up to the corpse and said, "Back to the original question. The biggest mystery in this case is how the deceased was killed, when the deceased died. There was no one around, and the closest person to the deceased was more than four feet away. Beyond this distance, no one would be able to plunge a dagger into the chest of the deceased, unless the other party was a martial arts master. ”

Qi Yunhe nodded and said, "Yes, what Master Li said is reasonable, ordinary people at this distance can't insert a dagger into the chest of the deceased." ”

He paused and said with certainty: "The people present are all ordinary people, and no one knows martial arts. ”

"That's where everybody is most confused." Li Yu touched his smooth chin. frowned.

Li Canghai picked up the dagger and said lightly: "Actually, when I was inspecting the corpse, I found a little dirt on the dagger. ”

"Strange, how can there be dirt on this dagger?" Li Yu stared at the dagger and looked at it carefully, and indeed found some dirt on the handle of the dagger, but the dirt had been splashed with blood.

Li Canghai smiled slightly and said, "At first, I also felt strange. How can there be dirt on this dagger? To understand this, there is another thing involved. ”

"What?" Li Yu asked.

"During the prince's interrogation, I found a half-finger-deep depression on the inside of the table." Li Canghai said.

"Dents? What depression? Li Yu frowned and asked.

"It's a hollow covered in a pool of blood, if I'm right. The depression is where the dagger was in the body of the deceased. Li Canghai took a few people to the inside of the gaming table and said, "I said that the murderer used some props to kill people. These props are inconspicuous and even difficult to arouse suspicion. ”

Li Yu knocked on the door of his head with a folding fan. Shaking his head, he said: "The more you talk about this king, the more confused you become, what is going on?" ”

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes. "Actually, it's very simple, the murderer first dug a depression in the inside of the table, and then turned the dagger upside down in it, and surrounded it with loose soil. When the deceased approached the table, he tripped over him with a rope tied to the supporting pillars, and the dagger was naturally plunged into the deceased's chest. ”

After saying this, Li Canghai looked at the owner and said lightly: "Did the official make a mistake?" ”

The owner's face turned pale, his pupils constricted, he gritted his teeth, and said with some trembling: "Grass people...... I don't know what the adults are talking about. ”

"You still don't plead guilty?" Li Canghai changed his previous gentle complexion, and his eyes instantly became cold.

"The grass people don't know!" The owner bit his lip and said deadly.

Li Yu touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly slapped his chin and said, "This king knows!" It turned out that this was the cause of Han Da's death! ”

Li Canghai almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, and said in his heart that the reaction of this prince was really no one.

"But this king still doesn't understand, the inside of this table is half a foot in circumference, and the place where the dagger is placed, there is only such a small area, this leg is long on Han Da's body, how can he let Han Da fall down, just let the dagger into his chest?" Li Yu said puzzled.

This is something he can't figure out anyway, to say that the owner of the workshop killed Han Da by setting these up, but how did he make Han Da fall on the dagger just right? After all, if there is only the slightest difference, the plan can be revealed.

Li Canghai said lightly: "This is his smartest point, it has rained continuously in the past two days, and the ground has returned to the tide a little, and there is even a lot of stagnant water." It was by using this stagnant water that he brought Han Da to a dead end. ”

"Why is that?" Luoyang Mansion Yin Qi said.

Li Canghai picked up a dice from the gaming table, threw it into the stagnant water, and said: "He made some stagnant water on the way to the inside of the table beforehand, leaving only a road to the inside of the table, and he tripped in this direction, and his chest was right where the dagger was. ”

"Just these stagnant waters, how can a person honestly go to the road of death?" Li Yu frowned.

"Lord Wang, if it were you, in the face of this situation, how would the Lord choose to go?" Li Canghai said calmly.

Li Yu walked to the back of the table, looked at the stagnant water on both sides, and the slightly protruding road in the middle, and said, "Naturally, choose a place without stagnant water." ”

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." In the case of stagnant water on both sides, people will subconsciously choose to step on the place where there is no stagnant water, which is a psychological manifestation of people. ”

"I see." Li Yu suddenly realized, now he finally understood completely, he shook the folding fan, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, you are so bold!" How dare you kill your own guy! What else do you have to say now? ”

The owner of the shop turned pale, and kept kowtowing: "Lord Wang, you are wronged!" Grass Folk ...... The grass people didn't kill anyone! ”

"You didn't kill anyone? Who can prove that you didn't kill someone? Li Yu glared and said angrily.

"Wang ...... Lord Wang, they can all prove that when Han Da died, the grass people were far away from his father-in-law, how could they kill him? Even if, as the adults said, Han Da died under the calculations of others, who can prove that he was tripped up? And who can prove that I tripped him with a rope? The owner was dripping in a cold sweat and plucked up the courage to say.

"Where were you when Han Da died?" Li Canghai asked lightly.

"The grass people sit there and drink tea." The owner pointed to the tables and chairs that were a few feet away from the gaming table.

Li Canghai walked over, sat on the chair, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "If this official is not mistaken, you are the rope that you pulled up here and tripped Han Da, right?" ”

"My lord, there is no basis for what you say, and the grass people are not convinced! All this is the speculation of adults, how could Han Da not see the dagger on the ground upside down? The adults said that the grass people made the peg trip over Han Da and cause him to die, so the grass people want to ask, where is this rope? The owner plucked up his courage and continued.

Li Canghai glanced at him and said lightly: "The gambling table is a blind spot in the viewing angle, and it is a rainy day today, so the vision is getting darker and darker, so naturally I can't see the dagger clearly." As for the rope ....... Li Canghai sneered and said: "After the incident, the prince controlled everyone, so you don't have time to take the rope out at all, this rope must still be on you!" ”

When Li Yu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and immediately made a gesture to Qi Yunhe.

Qi Yunhe stepped forward and pressed the owner to the ground, and sure enough, he found a rope from his arms.

"What else do you have to say?" Li Canghai stared at him and said coldly.

"What does a rope mean? I'm not convinced! The owner of the shop, with his whole face on the ground, struggled and screamed.

"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin!" Li Canghai snorted coldly and said lightly: "You have calculated everything, but you have always ignored one point. When you tie the rope to the pillar, the rope rubs off the vermilion lacquer, and after the vermilion paint falls off, it not only spills on the stagnant water, but also seeps into the rope. If you want to know if this rope is the rope that tripped Han Da and caused him to die, you just need to see if there is any residue of vermilion lacquer powder on this rope. ”

The owner's pupils contracted, and his body suddenly shook violently.

"You...... How do you know so clearly? That's impossible...... I've done it very carefully, why did you find out? The owner muttered to himself in horror.

"How can this be reasonable, fortunately, this king guessed that you are the murderer early on, otherwise how can this truth be revealed to the world?" Li Yu shook the folding fan and said angrily: "Tie up this murderer to this king!" (To be continued.) )
