The two walked for about an hour and found the skeleton of the fallen kite at the bend of the river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The huge kite was only half shattered, and when it fell from mid-air, it fell apart.

Li Canghai asked Lu Jitong to pick up the kite skeleton, and then continued along the river.

Along the way, the two found more and more skeletons, and Li Canghai picked them all up.

For him, this was the main reason for the fall of the lanterns, and perhaps some clues could be found in these kites.

In addition, Li Canghai also found some cotton wool that had been burned by fire in the water.

After bringing back everything they had found, the two returned to Fufeng Town.

When I returned to Fufeng Town, it was close to noon.

Li Canghai took all the things he picked up to the ancestral hall, and then stared at those things alone, falling into deep thought.

Not long after, Di Qing walked in with a box and playing with Li Yu.

"Canghai, I'm bringing you food!" As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Di Qing said loudly.

Lu Jitong, who was guarding the door, hurriedly saluted the two of them and whispered: "Lord Wang, county lord, my lord is thinking about the problem inside. ”

Di Qing immediately came to her senses, hurriedly covered her mouth, and walked towards Li Canghai lightly.

At this time, Li Canghai had woken up from his contemplation, he looked at Di Qing, who looked like a thief, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, are you going to be a thief?" ”

Seeing him wake up, Di Qing gave him a blank look, put down the brocade box, and said reproachfully: "Canghai, even if you encounter a murder, you have to pay attention to rest!" Since last night, it's okay if you don't go to bed, but you can't skip eating! However, fortunately there is a woman here, otherwise you would have starved to death! ”

As she spoke, Di Qing took out a few steaming dishes from the brocade box and put them on the table.

Li Canghai only felt that his stomach had been protesting for a long time, he smiled slightly, then picked up the steamed bun and ate it with side dishes.

Li Yu looked at some messy things on the table curiously, and suddenly asked a little inexplicably: "Sir, why are you in a daze with these messy things?" ”

Li Canghai was eating steamed buns and said: "The prince is wrong, these are not useless things, but the most important clues about this murder." ”

Li Yu scratched his head, he and Di Qing had also seen what happened last night.

Originally, Li Yu planned to follow Lu Ji to find the body, but was stopped by Li Canghai and asked him and Di Qing to return to the inn to take care of his luggage, because he didn't know much about the murder.

"Sir, I don't understand, it's just an accident, why do you think it's a homicide?" Li Yu asked puzzled.

Li Canghai ate steamed buns and said, "At first, I also thought it was just an accidental crash. It wasn't until the body of the deceased was found that I felt something odd. ”

"What's weird about that?" Li Yu asked.

Li Canghai chewed a few bites, put down the steamed buns, and said, "This strangeness lies in the location of the deceased's body. According to Brother Lu, the body of the deceased was found ten miles away from the town. Before, I also went to the place where the body was found, and went up the river, and I found that the water at the bottom of the cliff was not turbulent, and the water was rocky, and at least three bends almost cut off the water flow, and these kite skeletons were found in those three bends. ”

"What does that mean?" Li Yu was confused by what he said, and he was even more inexplicable.

Li Canghai stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Not long after the deceased fell from a high altitude, Brother Lu and the others went down the cliff to look for the body. At that time, he did not find the body at the bottom of the cliff, and after the villagers descended the cliff, they began to search, which was only half an hour, and then they searched for the body along the river. As far as I can see, the ground where the body fell was flat and the water was slow, so it stands to reason that the body should have been found nearby. However, the body was found ten miles away, which had to be a little strange. ”

Li Yu blinked his eyes and suddenly realized: "I know!" It turned out to be the gap in distance that made Mr. have doubts about the case. ”

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Yes, if the corpse falls and is swept away by the current, it will never be washed away ten miles away in just half an hour." This morning, when Brother Lu and the others brought the body back, they said that it was found ten miles away, and I felt strange. This is even more certain after I have checked the river at the bottom of the cliff. Neither by the current nor by the topography, the corpse should not be ten miles away. ”

"But we clearly saw that the deceased fell to his death?" Di Qing asked puzzled.

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said, "Qing'er, what you see with your own eyes is sometimes not necessarily true. What's more, the night was dark at that time, and the deceased was in mid-air. When the fire caught fire, the view was blocked, and no one could be sure whether it was the dead or not. ”

Li Yu smiled and said, "Sir, I understand what you mean. You mean that the sight of the deceased was killed and then thrown into a river ten miles away. But if there is someone else on top of the kite, where is that person? The kite was in mid-air! He was neither thrown to death nor seen in sight, could he have disappeared into thin air? ”

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "I haven't figured this out yet. ”

Di Qing tilted her head, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Canghai, since you think this is a homicide, what is the motive?" ”

"Murder is generally divided into two types, one is impulsive murder, and the other is premeditated murder. Impulsive killings are caused by being too emotionally agitated without thinking. Generally, this kind of murder will leave a large number of clue traces, which can be seen through at a glance. The premeditated murder is different, there are very few clues to the premeditated murder, and the murderer will erase all kinds of traces. And this case, if it is not an accident, must be a premeditated murder. There will be a reason for murder. ”

After a pause, Li Canghai muttered: "The reason for killing is nothing more than vendetta, love killing, and desire to kill." If you want to know why the murderer killed, you have to start the investigation with the deceased. ”

"So, it's very likely that the murderer was someone who had a deep hatred for the deceased?" Li Yu touched his chin and asked.

"I don't rule it out. However, the truth still needs to be carefully investigated. Li Canghai said.

As he was talking, there was a sound of horses' hooves and hurried footsteps outside the ancestral hall.

Li Canghai looked back and saw a man dressed in an official mansion, hurrying towards the ancestral hall with several officials. (To be continued.) )
