Chapter 5: The Scene of the Crime
Xinglai Inn is very unlucky, after the death case in the Tianzi room, yesterday day, all the guests were gone, the Tianzi room was sealed, until the case came out, and finally closed, it is estimated that it is difficult to release it.
Originally, it was the highest inn in Lingqiu County, and it is estimated that no one will dare to live in it in the future. Now, the other two inns in the county have picked up a leak, are full, and business is booming.
When they went in, the shopkeeper sat behind the counter and cried.
I heard that a few shopkeepers who had nothing to do with the case changed jobs yesterday and went to two other inns. If you have work experience, you don't need training to go directly to work.
However, he greeted the deceased, especially the shopkeeper who carried the bath water for the deceased, who belonged to the people involved in the case, and was still staying in the inn, and the shopkeeper was crying, crying so much that the flowers were splashing tears, and the birds were frightened.
The second floor of the sky is at the east end of the inn, the ground is still very clean, the east side is a branch window, and it is pushed outward, just enough to see a round of red sun breaking through the clouds, like a boiled salted duck egg yolk embedded in the sky.
On the south side are four one-horse and three-arrow windows, each with eleven mullions, and three horizontal logs at the top, middle and bottom, which are tightly closed and bolted, as they were yesterday.
Shi Zhong walked to the east window and asked Li Zhutou, "When you came here yesterday, did you see this window?" ”
"See, it was closed when we came, and it was opened later."
The shopkeeper was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly came over and said, "Last night, it was the little one who begged Li Zhutou and begged him to let the little one prop up the window a little." There are dead people in this house, it's too unlucky, let the sunrise in the east bask in the sun, and you can also get rid of the bad luck. ”
Jian Qing doesn't want to complain anymore about protecting the scene and the like, Li Shi is the same person as his name, he is honest when he says it well, and he didn't bring a brain when he was reincarnated if he said it badly.
At the scene of the crime, as soon as others asked, they were able to open the east window.
Shi Zhong smiled with a smile on his face, looked at Li Shi and nodded, with a look of appreciation, compared to before at the gate of the county government, Shi Zhong was the third enemy of Jian Qing, and at this time he was like his own father to Li Shi.
Li Shi scratched his head, squinted his eyes and smiled, I'm sorry, what he did about this idea, can he praise Shangfeng?
"Li Shi, if I didn't know how many catties and taels you have, this case, I would suspect that you are in the same group as the murderer!"
The sweat on Li Shi's head burst out, his face was pale with fright, and he trembled, "How can it?" Shi Xiancheng, I can't hold this knife steadily! ”
Shi Zhong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked to the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, facing the edge of the Eight Immortals table at the door, and glanced at the teapot and cups on the table.
He beckoned to Jian Qing, "Come and see, is this how this teapot and cup were placed yesterday?" ”
It's the same.
Jian Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, do you still need to ask?" If I were the murderer, the people investigating the case now would have no clues. Wouldn't it be silly if you ran back again, wouldn't it remind you to get old again? ”
The murderer can do it seamlessly, so he is naturally not an idle person!
Although the east window was open for a day and a night, there was no sign of anyone appearing.
"How do you know the killer hasn't returned?" Shi Zhong glared at Jian Qing, fierce and vicious.
Jian Qing was so cold that her snot was about to run down, and she rubbed her nostrils with her index finger, "There is a seal on the door, and there is no damage." The murderer wants to come in, and it is cheapest to open the windows on the east side. The small one had just looked at it, and there was a break on the edge of the propped up window, but there was no veil hanging on it. ”
Shi Zhong stared at Jian Qing for a long time, he turned around and walked under the east window, lowered his head and leaned over, and sure enough, he saw a little split in the middle, if the murderer came in and out from here, it would be difficult not to leave some silk and yarn or something, but there was no trace on it.
"Brother, you're amazing!" Li Shi bowed his hand to Jian Qing without heart and lungs.
"Where, where!" Jian Qing smiled and saluted him back.
Between the table and the bed, there is a vertical screen of eight wenges, embroidered with the pattern of rich peonies, behind the screen, there is a lacquered bed against the west wall, and a large bath bucket is placed at the head of the bed against the north wall. The deceased who was originally sitting in it has been removed and is now placed in the room behind the county office.
There was only one bucket of blood left in the tub.
There is a distance of about two meters between the bath bucket and the bed, and the blood splashed in the middle, the footprints are still there, the blood stains are coagulated, and they are becoming clearer and clearer.
Shi Zhong stared at the footprints for a long time, and after reading it, he glanced back at Jian Qing. Jian Qing was a little uncomfortable, touched his nose, and wanted to ask, but he already had an answer in his heart.
"Go and see, is there anything wrong with the bed?" Shi Zhong instructed Jian Qing.
Jian Qing was stunned for a moment, why did she want her to go and see it? She's seen it all, okay?
But Jian Qing didn't ask, workplace experience, talk less, ask less and do more, you will never go wrong.
She checked the pedals, then climbed onto the bed, and tapped back and forth on the board for a long time, as if she hadn't checked it before, as carefully as if it were the first time. Immediately afterwards, he rolled up all the tents, knocked the wall behind the bed from top to bottom, from left to right, and shook his head back at Shi Zhong.
Shi Zhong's two eyebrows were already glued together, and as soon as he was irritable, he turned his head and yelled at the shopkeeper, "People died here with you, think about it carefully, is there anything to explain?" ”
"Master Official...... "It's like a funeral!"
Seeing that, the shopkeeper knelt down towards the shoe print, and Jian Qing hurriedly stopped, "Wait, you go outside, don't pestle here, if you destroy any useful evidence, it will affect the investigation!" ”
"Yes, Brother Jane is right!" Li Shi is still very simple, which mainly has a lot to do with Jian Qing's sweet mouth.
She has been a junior for more than two months, and she has handled the relationship with the brothers of the third class of officials very well. When the case is out, I can also mention a few words of Li Shi from the side, so that the brothers can run a little less, everyone thinks that this kid has a good head, and people shout when they meet people, and everyone is a relative.
Over time, no one doesn't treat her as a relative, and she is about to become a member of the fast class.
The next door was vacated, Shi Zhong began to ask the people of the inn in the ground room, just a few words back and forth, asking again and again, to put it bluntly, the comparison is who is strong-willed and has a clear brain, if he can carry it, it will be fine, if the preface of the explanation does not match the afterword, it will be troublesome.
Not long after he was older, he helped the deceased carry the bath water, and the shopkeeper named Li San started crying, "The little one doesn't remember if the little one heard the sound of the door closing at that time, the little one may be confused...... In this store, isn't it, is there a ghost...... Woowoo woo ......"
It's over, it's time to tell ghost stories!
Jane cleared out the door and walked down the hallway.
Coming from the east end, facing south, the first room is between the heavenly characters, the second is between the earth characters, and the second is between the sea characters. Walking from the east to the direction of the sea characters, it is a total of thirty steps between the words of the sky and the earth, and Jian Qing has walked five rounds, all of which are thirty steps.
The length between the words should be eleven steps, and the length between the words should be nine steps. However, Jian Qing remembers that the length of the two rooms should be about the same, because the furnishings of the two rooms are all the same, and the only difference is that the material of the furniture and the grade of the ornaments are different.
