Chapter 36: The Suspect
"Yo, Ye Gongzi, you still don't know?"
The woman was surprised, and then she told Ye Heng in detail about Su Qing'er redeeming herself and leaving Miaoyu Tower.
Ye Heng frowned, and then said to these women: "Sisters, please be merciful." Hehe...... Miss Su Qing'er is the Oiran of the Qinhuai River, how could she be like this for Ye Heng and his white clothes? I'm afraid that this will ruin the reputation of the Qing'er girl, and besides...... My name is Ye Heng, my family background is average, and I don't deserve the word "son"! ”
After that, Ye Heng saluted them, and then went upstairs.
The rest of the women stared at each other......
On the second floor of Miaoyu Building, there is a pavilion, and there are two boudoirs on both sides of the pavilion, it is said that only the head card can live on the third floor, and the other room is the residence of ** Zi Qiu Hong.
On the third floor, the official said to Ye Heng: "Last night, on the third floor, there were only Gongsun Yang and Li Yucheng......
"Li Yucheng ......"
Ye Heng muttered the name, and the funny thing was that the owner of the name had been confirmed to have drowned a few days ago! Shaking his head, Ye Heng threw Li Yucheng's name out of his mind, and then asked the officer, "What about the boss lady Qiu Hong?" ”
"This Qiu Hong originally lived on the third floor, but in Qiu Hong's confession, he said that Gongsun Yang asked to stay on the third floor for a while last night, so he sent Qiu Hong away, and later there were guests and girls from Miaoyulou who proved that Qiu Hong went downstairs after sending Gongsun Yang and the two upstairs!"
The words of the official can prove that this Qiu Hong also has evidence of alibi.
Where exactly is the clue?
Luo Ying glanced at Ye Heng, and then he pushed open the door of the attic in front.
This attic is about two meters wide and long, the room is not big, out of the attic outside is the railing, here you can just see the scene of the Qinhuai River, it is a good place for sightseeing.
"Brother Luo, look for it!"
"Looking for what?"
Ye Heng's five fingers were bent and said, "Scratch!" ”
Luo Ying immediately understood, and then pointed to a mark on the railing and said, "Hold on, look!" ”
"Not this ......"
Ye Heng shook his head and said, "Although the traces here are also scratched, they are not what I am looking for!" ”
Luo Ying didn't understand, and asked, "Isn't it that Gongsun Yang's nails have red paint?" How do you know it's not this place? ”
Ye Heng laughed, but did not answer Luo Ying's words.
I saw him return to the attic, at this time, no one in the attic had moved, Ye Heng came to the table, looked for it one stool after another, and then beckoned to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying came over and saw that there were faint scratches on a low stool, and even the paint had been removed, and one of the lines went deep into the wood under the scratches.
"This is it!"
Ye Heng asked Luo Ying, "Brother Luo, do you remember the changes in the nails on Gongsun Yang's hands when we saw Gongsun Yang's corpse at the Splendid Inn?" ”
Luo Ying is also a careful person, Ye Heng understood as soon as he said this, and then said: "Are you saying that Gongsun Yang is a talent, and his hands are also neatly trimmed, but there is a broken nail on his ring finger?" ”
"Not bad!"
Ye Heng raised the low stool, and then said, "This is the murder weapon used by the murderer to commit the crime!" Brother Luo still remembers the wound on the back of Gongsun Yang's head, right? was hit by this stool, but after being hit hard, Gongsun Yang did not faint immediately, but turned around and grabbed the corner of the low stool......"
Showing the scratches, Ye Heng said: "This is it, after Gongsun Yang grabbed here, the murderer pushed him!" At that time, Gongsun Yang was already a little confused, but driven by instinct, he didn't let go of this stool even if he kept retreating, and later ......"
Ye Heng walked as he spoke, as if he wanted to restore the scene of the crime, and when he walked to the front of the railing, he put down the stool and said: "When I arrived here, Gongsun Yang's center of gravity was lost, and his head was knocked out, so he fainted and fell into the water......"
Luo Ying looked at the height of the pavilion, and then said: "Don't say that you were knocked unconscious, even if you are not knocked unconscious, then Gongsun Yang will fall from here, I am afraid that it will not fall lightly!" ”
"Not bad! Even if there is water underneath, I'm afraid that I can fall into a lot of meat, but I won't die! So ......" Ye Heng said very firmly: "The murderer must have injured Gongsun Yang first, and after he retreated from Gongsun Yang, he also tightly grabbed the railing here and squatted down, until there was no movement downstairs, the murderer quickly put the low stool back to its original position, and in the process, the murderer also found the nails left by Gongsun Yang on the low stool, so the murderer also eliminated this evidence......"
Hearing Ye Heng's analysis, Luo Ying frowned, and then said: "After the killing, you can still be so calm, if it weren't for the fact that this murderer is hard-hearted and vicious, then there is only one explanation......
Ye Heng said: "This murderer is definitely not the first time to kill someone! ”
The official who listened to Ye Heng and Luo Ying's analysis suddenly asked: "Ye Gongzi, according to what you said, how did the murderer leave after committing the crime?" According to the memories of the people who were in Miaoyulou at the time, it seems that Li Yucheng did not leave Miaoyulou at all......"
"It's easy!"
Ye Heng came to the railing again, pointed down, and then said, "From here, jump down!" ”
"Jump?" The man dressed as a servant said: "Although it is night, but two people fell from the third floor, isn't the murderer afraid that he will be seen by the people below?" ”
"Since the first person falls down, people can't notice it, then the second person jumps down again, and the people downstairs are naturally difficult to notice! Especially...... This is the Green House! ”
Ye Heng explained to the officials: "The Qinglou is a place of fireworks, especially those things that are fun in the men's and women's rooms, in order not to be discovered by people outside, often the doors and windows are closed, and it is normal for people not to find out!" And...... The murderer was also worried, he was afraid that Gongsun Yang would not die, so he ...... I must jump down and see Gongsun Yang dead with my own eyes before I am willing to give up! ”
Hearing Ye Heng's explanation, the official nodded, and then his face changed, he looked at Ye Heng and said, "Ye Gongzi is ...... say"
Ye Heng nodded and said to him: "Brother Lao, hurry up and find the two adults, just tell me the identity of this Li Yucheng, please trouble them to investigate it quickly!" ”
