This is a ** calf, sticking out from under a thick beam, full of dust, only judging from the appearance, you know that it is a leg.

The porters sped up, moved the rubble near the beam, and then worked together to move the beam to the side. The person who was pressed below was finally revealed, this person was naked, his chest and abdomen had been flattened by the beam, but his head was still intact, and he washed off the dust covered with water, revealing his true face, and sure enough, it was Xu Feng! He has already died.

Xu Feng actually died in the bed of the county magistrate, and he was naked, which made everyone feel inexplicable, only Cheng Luojie faintly guessed what happened.

After Leng Yi determined that Xu Feng had died, he counted the number of people again, and made sure that no one was missing, so he deduced that there would be no more people under the ruins, so he ordered the excavation to be stopped, and everyone retreated, and he personally stepped forward to check the cause of the accident.

He first examined the body and determined that it was a pre-mortem injury, that is, he had been smashed alive in the chest and abdomen and died. Instead of transferring the body after the murder. Next, it is to determine how to die.

One got the impression that this was an accident, however, Leng Yi quickly ruled out this possibility. Because although this post station is relatively old, it has not yet reached the point of collapsing at any time, and the upper house is still relatively new, and there must be a reason for the sudden collapse.

If he hadn't been deceived by Xu Feng into going to the old locust tree, he would probably have died.

After Leng Yi found this, he felt a chill in his back. He remembered what the man in white had said, that they would do anything to murder him!

In Bazhou, he has encountered an assassination of a drunkard, and then, he encountered this "accident", last time he was clever and recognized the killer in time, and this time, he was lucky to avoid this "accident", I don't know if the next time, if there is such luck, as long as there is a negligence or unlucky, he will die!

He didn't believe that it was an accident, and he decided to find out the murderer as soon as possible, and capture the mastermind behind the scenes, so that he could do it once and for all.

Leng Yi called Cheng Luojie aside and said, "I suspect that someone deliberately created this accident in an attempt to murder me, so please tell me what you know, so that I can solve this case and bring the real culprit to justice." - Tell me first, what's going on with Xu Feng? Why did he strip naked and hide in my bed, you must be honest, it involves the issue of my surname. ”

Cheng Luojie was very embarrassed, and said with a red face: "Xu Feng has always liked me, but I don't like him at all." It's true! Just now I guess he heard the two of us talking, he is a person, he likes to be jealous, I am not him at all, but he is jealous, he must have some bad intentions for me, and he wants to make some bad water on me, so he stripped naked and hid in your bed, master......"

Leng Yi said: "That's not right! If he has any bad intentions for you, he should hide in your bed, not in mine! ”

Cheng Luojie's face turned even redder, and said: "He ......, he must have misunderstood, thinking that I was ......, thinking that I was going to your bed, so I ......, he is not a good person!" There should be this newspaper! ”

Leng Yi suddenly said: "I see, no wonder he lied to me about what you said, let me wait for you under the old locust tree, if you have something to say, let me go through the window." I went, and waited for a while, and when I didn't see you coming, I heard the sound of the house collapsing, and when I came, I saw you. - By the way, why did you take off your shirt in my house at that time? ”

Cheng Luojie was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Changing the subject, he said: "I went to your room to look for you, I was next to the bed, I heard a loud bang, and saw the beam collapse and smashed the bed flat. I knew things were not good, so I jumped out of the back window and the house collapsed. ”

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "You saw the beam collapse, and then the house collapsed?" ”

"Yes, it's good that I didn't go to bed, otherwise ......" Thinking of this, Cheng Luojie was also afraid for a while, if she was stoned to death with Xu Feng naked on the old man's bed, it would be the wrongful death! Luckily, I hadn't gone to bed yet.

Leng Yi said: "There must be something wrong with the beams of the house!" With that, he quickly returned to the scene, lifted his official robe, and squatted down to inspect the thick beam that crushed Xu Feng. I picked up the rubble and looked at one end, and found that although it was cracked, it was torn by gravity. And on the other hand, I saw the clues! -- The other end of the beam is mostly neat, with only a small amount, which is broken by gravity.

Leng Yi carefully checked that the fracture was very neat, and determined that it had been sawed off by someone with a saw, and there was a little left. At the broken end of the beam, a rope was tied, and at one end of the rope, there were burn marks. It seems that the murderer first hung one end of the beam with a rope, then sawed more than half of it, and then burned the rope when the time came. The beam broke down under the action of gravity, killing Xu Feng on the bed, and at the same time, causing the entire house to collapse.

Who set up this murderous mechanism? Could it be that Cheng Luojie killed people in anger because Xu Feng plotted against him?

No, if this is the case, Cheng Luojie will use martial arts to injure or even kill Xu Feng on the spot, with Cheng Luojie's martial arts, it is very easy to kill Xu Feng directly, why bother sawing off the beam, tricking Xu Feng into bed, and then breaking the rope, this is not logical, Cheng Luojie does not have the time to cut the thick beam. This beam has to be sawn off, and it will take at least a meal, and he and Cheng Luojie are separated until the house collapses, and there is only a tea time before and after. Cheng Luojie wants to create an accident to kill Xu Feng out of anger, and she doesn't need to trick him into her own bed to die. It is even more counterintuitive to do so.

Therefore, the possibility that Cheng Luojie is the murderer can be ruled out.

Who is the murderer? This requires the first gathering of clues to figure out how the killer tied the rope and how he burned the rope, which requires a detailed examination of the ruins. Now it's getting late, only dim lanterns, can't see clearly, so I can only wait for the next day to check.

Leng Yi gathered everyone together and said, "After a preliminary investigation in this county, it is determined that this is a murder case!" The criminals originally planned to murder the county, but by mistake, they killed Xu Feng. The county believes that the murderer is among you, so no one is allowed to leave the inn until the case is solved. ”

The soldier and the hunter who delivered the letter were very helpless, and when they encountered this kind of thing, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Leng Yi said to Cheng Luojie: "Come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Cheng Luojie hurriedly followed him and walked to the side, not daring to look up at him, for fear that he would see his blushing face. In fact, it is very dark here, and you can't even see each other's expressions clearly, and you can't see the red glow on your face.

Leng Yi said: "What you said earlier and what you want to tell me, can you say it now?" ”

Cheng Luojie didn't react for a while, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"As the head catcher in the capital, why did you come to me to be a guard for me, a small county from the eighth grade?"

Cheng Luojie smiled a little narrowly, and said, "I said that I can say it in your room, but now that the upper room has fallen, naturally I can't say it." ”

"No one here hears it, can't you say it?"

"No, you can't." Cheng Luojie tilted her head and said timidly: "Some words can only be said on specific occasions. I'll talk about it next time I have a chance, and I'm not in a hurry anyway. ”

Leng Yi glanced at her and nodded: "Okay." After thinking about it, he said: "In this case, I am worried that the murderer is one of us, so I ......"

Cheng Luojie was taken aback: "Won't it?" Is there a throttle among us? ”

"I'm just talking about one possibility, maybe it's still the guy at the inn, or it could be the murderer who sneaked in outside. It's all possible, before the possible surname is not ruled out, I don't believe in other people, you were with me all the time last night, only you and my wife, and the maid grass sui, the two of them can't commit the crime, you don't have the time to commit the crime, and I don't know about others. And at the time of the crime, you were in the house, almost crushed to death, and escaped at the last moment. If you were a murderer, you wouldn't use such a risky method to kill someone, and if you want to kill me, you have many opportunities, and you won't use such a stupid method to assassinate. So, I can rule out the possibility that you are the murderer. ”
