Ning Yuanwai was reprimanded by the prefect Wang, and immediately became honest.

Governor Wang looked at Wen Xiaoyun again and asked patiently: "Since Steward Cheng has a weak heart, it proves that the silver is still hidden here, but why hasn't it been dug up?" ”

Wen Xiaoyun turned to look back at the old elm tree, and said thoughtfully, "The trick is usually to make a bluffing small mechanism in the original position, but I didn't expect that this Steward Cheng's methods are quite clever, breaking the convention, and the mechanism design is more complicated." ”

Yin Nuo hooked his lips and smiled, picked up the saber at his waist, walked to Steward Cheng in a big way, and stepped on Steward Cheng's back, "It seems that geniuses also have bad times." Otherwise, I'll teach you a way, and the prisoners will be taken down, and the rest will not be easy to handle? Punished and beaten, I'm not afraid that he won't say anything. ”

Wen Xiaoyun knew that this was Yin Nuo deliberately mocking her, "The prison inferred that if they are all like Yin Zhutou, it will not be far from being beaten into a trick." ”

Governor Wang smiled, "It seems that there is already a way to warm the torture room." ”

Wen Xiaoyun pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the old elm tree, and reached out to stroke the rough trunk, "Since it is the truth, there will always be traces to follow, and those clues are hidden in the details of what happened last night." ”

Wen Xiaoyun suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around to look at the cat's ears, "Brother Er, I worked hard to get yesterday's brothers back to their original positions, this time I will play Steward Cheng and reproduce the scene of last night's trick!" ”

"Okay!" Cat Ears raised his hand excitedly, beckoned a few catchers to hurry away, and returned to the low bushes under the dirt slope.

"Outside the Ning Yuan, ask someone to find another bag and put it with stones as heavy as a thousand taels of silver."

"Okay, okay, I'll call someone to pretend!" Ning Yuanwai also became excited.

After a while, the stone bag was loaded, and last night's catch was back in the surveillance position.

"Lord Prefect, Ning Yuan, please spread out and stand away." Wen Xiaoyun, who was carrying a bag of stones, wiped her sweat and instructed.

"Shall we hide under the slopes too?" Ning Yuanwai swallowed a little nervously.

Wen Xiaoyun waved his hand, "No, if you are under the dirt slope like last night, you probably won't be able to find the flaw in this trick."

Wen Xiaoyun noticed with her afterglow that Steward Cheng's eyes and pupils shrank significantly, and then he didn't resist anymore, and fell to the ground weakly.

"Lord Host, you are so witty, you can solve the case with the experience of micro-expression reaction and magic trick reveal, Yunnan No. 10 is here to give you one hundred and twenty likes, master, you are great!"

"That's not it, if you want to mix in the comic circle these days, what you want is a comprehensive strength!"

After sending the pit daddy system in the brainwaves. Wen Xiaoyun picked up the stone bag and began to walk around the old elm tree.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Go to the east of the old elm tree and dig a pit in three steps, fill it with silver, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five..."

All the people present: ···

What the heck?!

Is this warm torture room really serious about solving the case?

Wen Xiaoyun was not affected by the outside world at all, completely immersed in his own world, squatted in front of the pit, threw the silver into it, and stretched out an arm, carefully weighing something.

"Catch it quickly," she suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, "How long did Steward Cheng dig the pit last night?" ”

The cat's ears in the grass frowned and recalled, and replied affirmatively, "We also made a special note of this case at the time, about two teas." ”

Wen Xiaoyun secretly calculated that the time of one cup of tea is about 10-14 minutes when converted into modern time, and two cups of tea are less than half an hour.

Although the current pit has been dug a lot deeper, you can still vaguely see the initial boundary.

The initial depth coincides well with the time speed of a person, a shovel, and more than 20 minutes.

If it is really buried at a deeper depth, in such a short period of time, it is simply not enough to backfill.

So we can be sure that the silver is not in this pit.

But if it's not in this pit, where will it be?

Wen Xiaoyun was in a predicament for a while.

Suddenly, Wen Xiaoyun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called the space-time system in the brainwaves.

"Yunnan No. 10, what did you just say?"

Yunnan No. 10: "Which one does the host ask?" ”

"It's that string of rainbow farts just now, how did you praise me?"

"Oh, that's what Yunnan No. 10 said, 'Lord Host, you are so witty, you can solve the case with the experience of micro-expression reaction and magic trick reveal, Yunnan No. 10 is here to give you one hundred and twenty likes, master, you are really good!' ”

Wen Xiaoyun snapped her fingers excitedly, it was the magic secret!

The people around looked stunned again.

Are geniuses so godly in solving cases?

One moment the facial features are distorted, and the other is ecstatic and snapping his fingers, Mr. Storyteller is not so wonderful.

Wen Xiaoyun really made a big discovery.

The so-called magic revelation is to throw out a bunch of gimmicks to attract people's attention, take advantage of people's unpreparedness, steal the day, and Li Dai is stiff.

So just keep an eye on the bandits' demands and all the behaviors of Steward Cheng!

Wen Xiaoyun excitedly retrieved the stone bag, looked back at the old elm tree, looked at the direction of his thinking, looked up at the sky, and then walked to the east, taking three steps on the side.

Just when everyone was getting more and more confused, she suddenly picked up a shovel on the ground, jumped back, threw the stone bag to the ground, and dug up the ground with all her might.

But with a cup of tea, the shovel dug into a hard mass.

Wen Xiaoyun wiped the sweat on her head, shoveled it twice, and a gray cloth bag was revealed.

Pull it out and open it to see that the eyes are full of shiny silver white.

She picked up a large ingot, held it high above her head, and raised her arms and shouted, "The case is solved!" ”

All the people rushed to the front, Ning Yuanwai ran faster than a rabbit, and the first one rushed to the dirt pit, pulled out the whole money bag with all his might, and began to count with trembling hands.

Governor Wang stood outside the crowd and looked at Wen Xiaoyun with a smile, "Wen Torture Room, I just watched you walk back and forth a few times, how can you be sure that the silver is within two steps?" ”

Yin Nuo also raised his head when he heard this, looking at Wen Xiaoyun with some curiosity.

Wen Xiaoyun explained with a smile, "Turning a thousand taels into a thousand taels out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes is actually a trick.

The magic of the trick is to witness the impossible happening in front of your eyes.

What actually happened was nothing more than a scam that deceived people's eyes.

To do a good job of deception, you must lay a deceptive gimmick to attract people's attention, and then take the opportunity to steal the situation.

There are three deceptive gimmicks in this case.

The first one is Steward Cheng, who is ostensibly his own person, but is actually the real murderer.

The second is the method of burying silver.

All of them are under people's gaze in the process, and it seems that there is no chance to play tricks at all. In fact, there is still a place that people think is a normal detail and overlooked.

That is the condition set forth in the kidnapper's ransom letter.

In the middle of the night, three steps east of the stout old elm.

Why did the kidnappers make this special request?

Just now I thought that in the middle of the night, what can block the eyes of the circle around me to hide the silver? ”

"In the middle of the night, it's extremely dark, so you don't need anything special to cover it easily, right?" Wang Zhifu pondered.

Wen Xiaoyun smiled and shook his head, "Mao Zhukuai is very sure of all the details, it can be seen that when the silver was buried, they could see Steward Cheng." ”

Cat Ears recalled, "The Wen Torture Room is right, although it was dark last night, there was a little moon. The Ning family's mansion not far away is brightly lit, and you can always borrow some light. In addition, in late autumn, the grass has withered, and the leaves have almost fallen off, and we can generally see Steward Cheng's movements. ”

The other overseers followed suit.

Wen Xiaoyun continued, "At night in the woods and mountains, the thing that can affect people's vision the most is the moonlight. I just thought about it, last night was the second month, and the moon came out in the afternoon. Compared to the first half of the night, it was a lot darker.

At that time, Steward Cheng was standing on the east side of the old elm tree, and the last bit of tree shadow was also cast on the east side, so that was the easiest time to make mistakes.

I simulated the route of Steward Cheng on the spot, and found that in addition to the shadow covering the east side, there is also a little slope. If he steps with one foot, but turns back and digs a pit at the second step, the person under the dirt slope will not be able to see it really.

After digging the pit and burying the silver in it, Steward Cheng lay on the ground again, quietly took a wrong step, and picked up a lot of branches and leaves, especially covering the third step.

And there are empty bags that have been laid out long ago, waiting for people to dig up later. ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized

"So that's the case?" Ning Yuanwai said in disbelief, "But Steward Cheng is indeed temporarily assigned by me, how can he be sure that he will definitely be the one who will bury the silver?" ”

Wen Xiaoyun looked at the bound Steward Cheng with a solemn gaze, "He is the old housekeeper of Ning Mansion, and the unpredictable young master can be led by him unconsciously. As long as he deliberately appears in front of you at a critical moment, says a few guiding words, and takes the task of burying the silver, it will definitely be easy for him. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yuanwai's face suddenly turned pale.

The scene of that night was indeed as Wen Xiaoyun said.

It's a chill down my spine when I think about it.

Without waiting for Ning Yuanwai to get angry again, Wen Xiaoyun walked directly to Steward Cheng and looked down at him, with a complicated expression, "You were the one who squeezed the little young master to the front of the crowd at the temple fair, right?" ”

Steward Cheng sneered, "That's right, it's me, the little young master's temperament and temperament have indeed been figured out by me." He put sweat medicine in his sugar gourd, and when he went to sleep, he quietly handed it over to an old couple in the suburbs, and made up nonsense in advance, saying that I was a widower, and the child had no mother, and had to go out for two days in an emergency, and asked them to help take care of it, and then I got my letter, and then helped send the child home. ”

"It's really hard to guard against thieves day and night, our Ning family treats you so well, but you want to harm my son-" Ning Hai hated so much that he just wanted to cramp and peel Steward Cheng at this time.

I didn't want to say anything before I was interrupted by Wen Xiaoyun, "Outside of Ning Yuan, there are still many details in this case, don't be impatient." ”

Saying that, Wen Xiaoyun asked the housekeeper again, "The rumors of the ingots goblin are also deliberately spread by you to deceive people, right?" ”

"That's right," Steward Cheng tried his best to raise his head, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I think I, Cheng Lu, have been planning for so long, but I didn't expect to be investigated by you, a little scribe, today, I should be unlucky, and my fate should be this disaster!" ”

Wen Xiaoyun sighed, "Although the whole case is a betrayal of the thief shouting to catch the thief, eating inside and out. But in the end, you didn't hurt the little boy of the Ning family, even if the little boy was arrogant and unreasonable to you, you didn't make the last step, you are not a real villain, right? ”

Steward Cheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed at himself randomly, "No, I just want to be a heinous villain, in this world, it has never been difficult to be a good person, and people are good and are bullied!" Murder and arson of the gold belt, build bridges and pave roads without corpses, I just hate that little beast to death! I'm going to kill him! ”

Wen Xiaoyun's eyes suddenly coldened, and he interrupted him coldly, "Because of your father? ”

Cheng Lu's eyes flickered, and his crazy smile twitched a little, "How do you know_"

Wen Xiaoyun's smile was a little sad, "Ning Yuanwai said that you are very loyal, and your father's illness did not delay you from going to the little master." Isn't that true? ”

Cheng Lu's eyes were instantly sour, he smiled sadly, and muttered: "Last year, my father, my younger brother came to see me, and the little beast went to the street to laugh and sprinkle a copper plate on the ground, and asked the people around him to pick it up.

My father was afraid that he would disobey the words of the little master, and it would be difficult for me to do it in the Ning family in the future, so I lowered my head and took my brother to pick it up, but as soon as I bent down, the little beast took out a slingshot and beat my father and brother to the point of bleeding.

He also yelled and scolded the cheap soft bones, the pug that ate shit, and the marbles made of silver, and begged him to continue fighting!

My father's old face was lost, and he vomited blood at that time, and my brother cried and carried away.

Since then, my father has been ill until not long ago, when he finally died.

As a son of man, I watched my father and brother being humiliated, but I couldn't complain, I hated it! I hate the little brute, I want to strangle him!

But... But..."

Speaking of this, Steward Cheng couldn't help crying, "Daddy, my son is sorry for you!" In the end, I can't do anything to avenge your old man..."

Hearing this, all the people present were moved.

Wen Xiaoyun sighed, "So the best way out you can think of is to leave the Ning family forever with a thousand taels of silver." ”

Governor Wang also sighed with emotion, "Cheng Lu, no matter what the reason, robbing people's children and defrauding people of money is not the right way, your father was originally a self-respecting person, and he was willing to be humiliated for the sake of your better life, and you did this, and finally disappointed his old man's heart."

It's just that you have lost your way and returned home, and you have not killed anyone in the end, and when you go to trial, there may be something that can reduce the punishment, and then you must be a good person, and don't let down your father's hard work again. ”

At this point, Cheng Lu was already in tears, trembling and unable to say a word.

Wang Zhifu waved his hand and asked his subordinates to escort Cheng Lu down.

turned to Wen Xiaoyun again, with a kind smile on his face, "In the end, he is the proud protégé of Yin Tuiguan, and his strength is really extraordinary." Although the position of the prisoner is lower, it is also a practical position, as long as you are talented, you can create merit. Do things well, Yanzhou will not bury you. ”

Wen Xiaoyun bowed and waved his hands and saluted, "Follow the teachings of the adults, and your subordinates will definitely do their best." ”

Governor Wang smiled and nodded, and took the lead in leaving, surrounded by a kind of servants. Seeing this, Ning Yuanwai hurriedly took his family to follow him diligently.

Only Yin Nuo, Wen Xiaoyun, cat ears and a few finishing catchers were left at the scene.

With a clang, the space-time system appeared in the brainwave again, "Congratulations to the host, the first installment of the space-time gender has arrived." ”

Wen Xiaoyun secretly wiped a handful of sweat, and finally completed the first main quest. I patted the soil on my body and wanted to go down the mountain with me.

At this time, a male voice suddenly came, "This is relaxing?" ”

Wen Xiaoyun frowned and raised his head, and met Yin Nuo's poker face again.

It's really a waste of this good skin, Wen Xiaoyun regretted it and responded angrily, "Yangguan Dao, what are you calling me for?" ”

The cat's ears and a few catchers were stunned, Yangguan Dao? What the heck?

When did their family change their name?

The corners of Yin Nuo's lips curled slightly, and a sinister smile was pulled, "Do you know what position you are in now?" ”
