The big attendant yawned and said, "It's late tonight, the rooms are all arranged, let's go and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Li Mo glanced at Guo Beitang, and Guo Beitang immediately bowed his hand to the huge man and said, "My lord, we want to go to see the scene first, and let Lao Wang take us there, the adult has been working for a long time, so let's rest early." ”

"The case has not been solved, where can I sleep, since you are enthusiastic about business, I will take you to see." The huge man yawned and led everyone to the self-sufficient house of the Wang family's eldest young king in the south of the town, and now it was late at night, and the women of the Wang family did not come out to avoid suspicion, and the old housekeeper Wang An came forward to greet everyone.

………

When he came to the study of the back house, the huge man said, "The king died in his own study, and look—this is it." ”

I saw a pear wood desk in front of the window in the backyard of the study, the apricot wood floor was clean, and the whole study was completely neat and bright, so that people couldn't imagine that there had been a murder here.

The case has been happening for more than a month, and Li Moyi can't force others to keep the scene all the time, he can only carefully observe and rely on other people's descriptions to imagine the scene of the murder.

"At that time, the body of the deceased was thrown in front of the door, and there were red marks everywhere behind the door and on the wall......... The scene was in shambles, the candlesticks were knocked over, the chairs were shattered, and they collapsed on the windowsill. The big attendant didn't know who was relaying someone's words, because he hadn't come to Sanhe Village at that time, but he seemed to have seen the scene.

But Li Moyi still heard some useful information, and he questioned: "So the deceased once fought with the murderer? The murderer actually subdued the deceased in a short period of time and delivered a fatal blow......... Huge people, can you know what kind of murder weapon the murderer used? ”

The big attendant said: "The corpse grid filled in should be a sharp weapon, and the deceased's head was almost cut off with a knife. ”

The housekeeper Wang An wept and said: "Exactly, my family is so miserable........."

Li Moyi looked left and right in the study, and saw that there were some decorations and book scrolls on the bookshelf of pear blossom wood, but the paint color of some places on the bookshelf was different, as if some of the things that were originally placed on the bookshelf had been taken away.

Wang An saw Li Moyi's gaze falling, and hurriedly explained: "The eldest young master often deals with some accounts in the study, and after he was killed, those things were taken away by his wife, and the murderer ......... Nothing should have been taken away. ”

Li Mo was silent.

He continued to observe carefully in the room, not only the floor in the room was clean, but even the walls were repainted, and he couldn't find a clue at all.

It was a small drop of red stains, maybe because it was splashed into the clouds, it was not cleaned, Li Mo remembered that the huge hall had just said that there were red stains everywhere on the walls and behind the door, and this red stain should be the red stain of the deceased.

Li Mo looked back, and briefly constructed the scene of the day in his mind, the information currently known, the deceased fell to the ground, this red trail was only a foot high from the ground, could it be that this was left by the deceased when he fell? This has the shape and size of the particles, and the location......... It's a little strange, it doesn't look like it's splashed directly, it's like a large drop of bright red falling on the door panel and then splashing out horizontally.

Li Moyi asked, "Steward Wang, where did the red stains on the wall splash that day?" ”

Steward Wang compared a position on the wall that was only waist-high: "The highest is here, followed by here and here, as if someone has splashed red stains on the wall, and a large area is full of red stains." ”

Li Mo's heart moved, and he asked: "You said that the red stain was like being splashed, connected into a large piece, not splashed up, with fine particles?" ”

Steward Wang's face was confused, and he didn't know how to answer.

Li Mo asked someone to bring two bowls of water, and the first bowl Li Mo took a big sip in his mouth, and then squirted out the water with hard breath.

The water droplets formed a fog-like trace on the wall, and Wang An shook his head and said, "No, the red stain at that time was not like this." ”

Li Mo poured the remaining part of the bowl of water on his right hand, and then his right hand swung upward, and the water droplets were immediately thrown onto the wall to form an arc-shaped trace.

Steward Wang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's a bit like this, but it's much thicker and much thicker." ”

Li Mo poured another bowl of water on a piece of cloth, and shook it wet, and a large water stain appeared on the wall, and Steward Wang shook his head again and again and said, "No, it's not like this........."

"Strange ........."

Li Moyi said: "These are the three most common splash marks, Steward Wang, are you sure you remember correctly?" ”

Steward Wang said with certainty: "I will never be mistaken, I will never forget the situation of that day in my life, that red ......... That red ......... By the way, the red stains on the wall look like my son peeing on the wall when he was naughty......... That's right, it looks like that!! ”

Li Mo was speechless for a while, he thought for a while: "I haven't seen a beheading, so I don't know how far this red stain can spray, but it's ........."

Li Mo pulled Lin Wei's little guard over, knew a few words, and told him to squat to the place where it was said that the king's self-sufficient corpse was ambushed, and then let him lie on the ground, Li Mo said: "At that time, the deceased was nothing more than lying on his stomach or kneeling like this, and was beheaded with a knife......... Red stains splashing on the wall seem unlikely to form......... The effect of a child's peeing, right? What do the huge people think? ”

The huge man sighed, walked over and looked carefully, touched his chin with a sparse beard, and said hesitantly, "It seems to ......... Truly......... Something is wrong, what's going on? Why did the autopsy never mention this matter? ”

Li Mo frowned and thought for a while, then looked at it for a while, but he couldn't find any other clues, he returned to Guo Baotang: "Huge man, I have watched this scene for the time being, and then let's go to the scene of the murder of the third young master Wang Zishan, who was killed the next day." ”

The drowsiness of the huge man was driven away by the strange red stains on the wall, and he also felt a little impressed by Li Moyi, so he immediately rushed to the place where Wang Zide was killed, and at the same time explained: "Wang Zishan was attacked and killed in a carriage outside the town, the carriage has been destroyed, the coachman was knocked unconscious, and he didn't see anything, let's take a look at the scene of the third deceased first." ”

This Wang Zide is Wang Shuigen's second nephew, and his house in Sanhe Village is not small, not far from Wang Zizi's house, and it will be there in a while.

………

………

Although it was late at night, the huge people didn't care about this, knocked on the door and broke in, this Wang Zide died in his bedroom, Li Mo looked at the bedroom when he saw that the bedroom had been cleaned up, the red stains on the wooden floor were very light, because the deceased died in the bath bucket, it is said that Wang Zide felt that the water was cold at that time, Wang Zide's wife went out to ask the maid to bring hot water in, and when they came in, Wang Zide was already dead, the wooden barrel was split, Wang Zide was lying on the ground, and there was a long wound on his body from the collarbone to the lower abdomen.........

This scene was even more destroyed, in addition to marveling at the cruelty and ruthlessness of the murderer, Li Moyi couldn't find any new clues, he could only hear that the bedroom doors and windows were closed at that time, and no one knew how the murderer got in and out, there was no body, the scene was destroyed, Li Moyi found nothing, and couldn't help but have a sense of frustration rising from his heart.

"Huge people, why didn't even a single corpse be left after more than a dozen people died in this case?" Li Moyi asked with a sigh.

The huge man replied: "The Wang family has a great influence in Hequan Town, and after the autopsy, they asked for the body to be buried as soon as possible, and the governor of Hequan Town agreed, and the red traces are not good in the bedroom after all, so the scene will be cleaned up and washed .........."

Li Mo was speechless, facing a serial murderer who killed more than ten people in a row, but he couldn't even see a corpse, this case was ......... What a clue from his ancestors!!

………

………

When they walked to the next scene with Li Moyi, the huge man became energetic, and he sighed: "After killing Wang Zide, the murderer became more and more ferocious, and even the female generation did not let go, we also suspected that the enemies of the Wang family did it, but the Wang family said that there were no enemies in their own family at all, and the people in Sanhe Village couldn't say who the Wang family had enemies with, it was really strange, the murderers killed the people of the Wang family one after another, but we couldn't find any suspicious suspects." ”

"The Wang family has no enemies in business? Could it be that they are doing exclusive business? Even if they are kind to others, there will always be a battle between gains and losses in the business field, and it is impossible for everyone to make money, right? Li Moyi questioned.

The huge man said: "It is this that makes people feel even more strange, we have been secretly visiting for a long time, but we really can't find someone who has such a deep grudge against the Wang family, until someone later submitted a letter to expose the Wang family colluding with bandits to smuggle, this matter is a little eyebrows, but we can't find evidence of the Wang family's smuggling, and we learned some inside stories after a check......... The network behind the Wang family is quite complicated, and we suspect that the Wang family is laundering money for a certain big person, of course, this is just speculation. ”

Li Mo was secretly awe-inspired, this case was far from being as simple as he thought at the beginning, and if he couldn't get his little life, he wouldn't be able to save it.

The huge man whispered: "Now the above means that as long as the murderer is caught, the Wang family also wants to calm the matter, don't worry about the smuggling, everyone just needs to find the murderer." ”

Li Mo suddenly realized that such a case could never be covered by a single Suzhou Mansion, it turned out that there were bigger people above who were paying attention to this case, no wonder there was no rumor at all.

With Li Moyi's current identity, Li Moyi is naturally not qualified to take care of these things, all he has to do is to follow the clues to catch the murderer.

………

………

Li Moyi and his party came to the house of the second young master of the Wang family, and his daughter-in-law also died in his study.

"Madame is good at Danqing writing, busy with housework will often draw some flowers and plants in the study, chat to pass the time, when she painted in the study that day, the slaves and maids did not dare to disturb, until Shen Shizhong kitchen sent someone to ask Mrs. what dishes to prepare for dinner, the maid found that Madame had died........."

The housekeeper who was woken up rubbed his sleepy eyes, pointed to a small trace in the study and said that this was the first complete red mark that Li Mo saw after he came to the boundary of Hequan Town to investigate the case.

"How did she die? Why are there so few red stains? Li Mo looked at the red stains and asked suspiciously.

The butler hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Madame......... Madame was killed by a sharp weapon through the throat, and I don't know why there are not many red traces. ”

"I've seen the corpse grid, it is indeed so recorded, the reason is unknown, maybe it was cut through the airway and died, and it didn't hurt the big vein." Huge companion said.

"Maybe? Pass this on this and talk about it first! ! Li Mo shouted angrily and said: "As a puppet, I can't even figure out how people died, this puppet really deserves to be beaten!" ”

Li Moyi's sudden outburst of anger made the huge hall secretly a little awe-inspiring, he also felt that the pretentious was not very competent, but it was not as strong as Li Moyi's feelings, seeing that Li Mo was angry, he echoed and said: "Yes, this trick really deserves to be beaten, and I will personally beat him up after dawn, and see if he dares to be so perfunctory in the future." ”

As soon as the voice turned, the huge attendant asked, "Li Moyi, do you see any other clues?" ”

Li Mo snorted, glared at the housekeeper, and sneered: "This is not a murder scene at all, it is strange to be able to see what it is." ”

"Ah?!!h

There were several exclamations in the study, and the huge escort hall already trusted Li Moyi's words, and he grabbed the butler's shirt with his backhand, brought him to the front, and said in a cruel voice: "What a big dog, you dare to fake the scene to deceive the difference!" ”

The housekeeper quickly regained his composure after being surprised, and he called Qu and said: "My lord, I am wronged, how dare we fake the scene, my lord, don't believe his nonsense, this is clearly the place where my wife was killed!" ”

"Huh, am I talking nonsense?"

“……… Falsifying the scene to obstruct the solving of the case, huge man, what should I do with this guy after I expose his lies? Li Moyi asked with a sneer.

The huge escort said with a smile: "If you are guilty of the murderer's accomplice, you can at least be beaten with eighty boards and sent to exile, and the sentence is severe, and in a serious case like this serial murder, the conspirator can be beheaded at noon." ”

The housekeeper was quite angry, and at this time, he was not afraid, and his mouth was still refuting.

Li Mo drank and said: "Less nonsense, there are too few red traces here is just the least suspicious point, the red droplets on the ground are round, which shows that they are all dripping vertically, imagine that a person is only cut trachea, she is not dead for a while, is it possible that she will not struggle?" Won't your hands be red on your neck? ”

"It's ridiculous that you guys actually faked the traces of bright red splashes, but unfortunately I can see these red stains at a glance, it is clear who cut his finger and threw them on, and it is not the red stains that the deceased really splashed on at all!!"

Before the answer to many things is said, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to see the problem, and when Li Mo said the basis of his judgment, the most stupid people present all had expressions of sudden realization, not to mention this smart housekeeper?

He knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, but no matter how much the huge hall asked, he just wouldn't speak.

Li Mo patted his hand that was a little dusty because he was lying on the ground, and said with a sneer: "You don't need to ask me to guess where the real scene is, it's nothing more than bedrooms, bathrooms, and toilets. ”

"No need."

The voice of a calm and composed middle-aged man suddenly came from outside the study, and Wang Zigong, the second young master of the Wang family, appeared proudly outside the door.

"Young master, the old slave is incompetent........."

The housekeeper knelt down to plead guilty, and Wang Zigong waved his hand: "I asked you to fake the scene, I don't blame you for this, a smart person was finally sent to the mansion, this is very good, there is hope for solving the case, what do I blame you for?" Go ahead, I'll do it here. ”

The face of the huge escort hall was a little dark, and anyone could hear the strange meaning in this young master Wang's words, and the huge escort snorted and said: "Wang Ersao, falsifying the scene of the murder is a serious crime!" ”

Wang Zigong pouted and smiled contemptuously: "That's right, I faked the scene, so what?" Neiko's death is a little indecent, which hinders the reputation of the Wang family, what crime do I cover up for her? ”

Thinking of the three locations that Li Mo had guessed, he was even more convinced, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Mo.

Li Mo snorted: "It's important to solve the case, I don't bother to entangle with you at this time, now that your wife has been buried, there is nothing to hide, take us to the real murder scene." ”

"It's been so long since everyone died, what else is there to see?" Wang Zigong asked puzzled.

Li Mo sneered one by one: "I thought Wang Ershao was really smart......... I can still see so many flaws in this fake scene after so long, let alone the real scene? Maybe the clue to solve the case is in this scene, and the words have come to this point, if you delay it again, you really intend to obstruct the chafu to handle the case!! Could it be ......... The second young master recognizes the murderer? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, since you want to see it, then let it be up to you........." Wang Zigong finally gave in and took Li Moyi and the others to his bedroom.

"That's where Uchiko died." Wang Zigong pointed to the edge of the couch and said with no expression on his face.

The red stains on the ground have already been cleaned, and as soon as Li Mo found that the wooden floors had been pried open and replaced with new ones, this Wang Zigong would really clean up the scene.

"Why do all the people of this Wang family like to lay wooden floors........." Lin Wei's little guard squatted beside Li Moyi, touched the smooth wooden floor and muttered in a low voice: "If you get flowers, won't you have to change it again?" That's not how you spend money. ”

Li Moyi's heart moved, this Wang family really likes to lay wooden floors, this small problem Li Moyi didn't pay much attention to before, but was discovered by Lin Wei's little guards, but among the rich and noble people in the world, whether wooden flooring is popular or not Li Moyi doesn't know, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case, Li Mo forgot it when he heard it, and he didn't take it to heart.

"In addition to the wooden floor, what else has the second young master changed in this bedroom?" Li Mo looked around for a while and then asked casually.

"No, I don't even plan to live here, what else is there to change?" Wang Zigong also replied casually.

"Nonsense!!"

Li Moyi sneered and said, "Since you don't want to live anymore, why do you want to change the floor?" The paint color of this pear blossom wood couch is still new, and the taste is still very heavy, could it be that the old couch has been replaced with new paint? ”

“……… Second Young Master, these things have nothing to do with your wife's name, what else do you want to hide? ”

Wang Zigong's eyes swept wildly, and he replied with some shock: "What if it is replaced with a new one, what can I mean if I change everything in the house of the dead?" You obviously can't find clues and start messing around, have you seen enough? I'm going to have a visitor, so I need to make up for sleep, so if you're okay, go and look elsewhere. ”

At this moment, the sky is slightly bright.

Li Mo took a breath, looked around carefully, and was about to retract his gaze, but suddenly found something, he stepped forward and looked at the window carefully, and then said goodbye.

Wang Zigong only sent them out of the bedroom, and then slammed the bedroom door shut.

………

………

"Such a person is also worthy of being called self-employed?" One of the guards muttered, "How can such a person have no enemies in business?" ”

"Maybe my wife just died." Guo Beitang said: "Huge man, do we want to find a place to rest next?" After a busy night, the sky is almost dawn. ”

"No hurry, one more thing......... After that, it's not too late to go to rest and eat!! ”

Li Moyi smiled mysteriously, stopped, looked back at the small garden in front of Wang Zigong's bedroom, and seemed to have found the target, he walked into it quickly.

………

The sky was just dark, and everyone held the lantern and followed Li Moyi into the garden in confusion, only to see Li Moyi's eyes wandering in the garden, and occasionally looking back at Wang Zigong's bedroom, not knowing what he was looking for.

Everyone was puzzled, and Li Moyi suddenly shouted, "Second Young Master, please open the window." ”

Wang Zigong quickly pushed open the window and looked out, and said impatiently: "Why don't you leave?" What to do in my garden? ”

Li Moyi looked in along the window, found a place where he could see the edge of the couch, and said with a smile: "Thank you Second Young Master for opening the window for your guidance, I think I should find it soon........."

Li Mo turned around and personally raised the lantern to look for it, and soon found a flattened wound on a tree with a thick bowl mouth, a bit like a trace left by the tip of the sword, but the wound seemed to be narrower and deeper than the tip of the sword.

Li Moyi happily pointed to the wound and said, "Huge man, I want to take this wound back to study and study, this is the only effective physical evidence found at the murder scene so far." ”

Without saying a word, the giant attendant drew his knife, first slashing an inch above the wound, and then an inch below the wound, "Whoa!! ”

The small tree fell down in response, and Li Moyi was about to admire the sword technique of the huge companion, but saw that bright red juice was oozing from the broken part of the tree's body, just like a red trace.

"Red ......... The tree is red!! ”

Lin Wei's little guards were so frightened that they screamed, and the other guards also felt very weird, and they couldn't make a sound when they looked at the red trail of the tree one by one.

At this time, I only heard Wang Zigong roar angrily: "What are you doing, compensate me for the god red tree that I have planted for ten years!" ”

Li Moyi was the first to understand, nodded, and said with a blank face: "......... This is the precious god red tree, those are not red traces, they are the sap of the tree!! After drying, it is a kind of medicinal herb, which seems to be called red exhaustion, but now the light is not good, and there are lanterns shining, so it looks like a red stain. ”

Everyone suddenly laughed, Li Moyi picked up a tree trunk cut into a short cylindrical shape, and said to Wang Zigong with a smile: "Second young master, I'm sorry, this is evidence at the scene, we have the right to take it away, second young master, rest well, let's leave........."

………

………

Everyone walked away, and after coming out of the Wang family with a tight door, Li Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, somehow, after walking back and forth in the Wang family all night, his heart always seemed to be pressed by a stone, very uncomfortable, and he didn't feel better until he came out and stood on the street.

Lin Wei's little guard looked curiously at the evidence in Li Mo's hand: "Brother Li, how do you know that there will be evidence in the garden?" ”

Li Mo smiled and said: "I guessed, I didn't expect to guess correctly, but I am not a baseless guess, according to my speculation, Wang Zigong's daughter-in-law also went through a struggle and fight when she was dying........."

The people who heard this let out a burst of sighs, and their faces suddenly realized.

Li Moyi continued to clear himself and said: "I think this second lady Wang is good at kung fu, she destroyed some family items when she fought with the murderer, such as the old couch, if it wasn't for the damage to the couch, why do you need to replace it?" ”

After a pause, Li Moyi continued: "And ......... From the traces of damage to the couch, I might have found any new clues, but unfortunately the second young master Wang would never cooperate, even if he asked, he would deduce that the couch had been chopped into firewood and burned, and I had no choice when I met such a deceased husband who refused to cooperate. ”

The huge man smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe he has some prejudices against us, after all, this case has dragged on for too long, Li Moyi, you continue, I also want to hear it." ”

Li Mo nodded: "Just when I was disappointed and wanted to leave, I suddenly found that the light shining in through the window paper was bright and dark, so I found that there was a piece of the window paper that was darker, and it seemed that it was damaged and another one was added in the back, and the double-layer window paper naturally did not have a single layer of light transmission, and the window paper that was made up was almost the size of a fist, I had no choice at the time, and when I saw such a hole in the window, I guessed in my heart, what was it that made the window out of such a hole?" ”

After a pause, Li Moyi continued: "The wind is impossible, I stood in front of the window and took a closer look, and found that the damage looked like it was cut by something sharp, so I suddenly thought, could it be that someone threw a flying knife and cut the window paper?"

"At that time, in order to avoid misjudgment or obstruction by the second young master Wang, I didn't say anything, and after seeing the direction clearly, I took my leave and tried to find clues in the small garden, because the direction determined through the window was very vague, so I asked the second young master to open the window, and with the couch as a contrast, the goal was much clearer, so I quickly found this old scar."

"According to my guess, this should be left by some special hidden weapon, such as a flying knife or a hidden arrow, when I find a carpenter to dig out the hard scar of the god red tree's self-healing, I can find some cement to stuff in, and when the cement is dry, carefully take out the mold, you can know what the tip of this murder weapon at least looks like, and then find a weapon expert to know what the murder weapon is."

Most people nodded suddenly when they heard this, Lin Weixiao's guards and a guard and several other guards showed undisguised admiration in their eyes, and Guo Baotang and Da Da Tongtang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to Li Moyi!!

"I'll go find the carpenter!!" Lin Wei's little guard said.

"I'm going to find a blacksmith!!" One of the guards said.

Li Mo smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone is tired all night, so let's find a place to rest and eat something to comfort our stomachs." ”

………

………

So far, although there has been no obvious breakthrough in this case, everyone's confidence in solving the case has increased greatly, and they are all happy to obey their fate, even the huge people in the big hall are no exception, the huge people are a big hall in Suzhou, and they are usually only responsible for maintaining law and order on the boundaries of Suzhou, catching thieves or something, that is to say, the difference between the huge people and the ordinary local halls is only in the different levels of the criminals to be arrested.

Although it was only the beginning of the morning (5 a.m.), it was already starting to lighten, and the diligent shops were already preparing their meals.

………

A group of people found a shop at random, and the hot buns were quickly served, and then they asked for a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs, meat, and flowers.

Everyone doesn't care about the level of bad products at the moment, snoring for a while, the food is really wanton, fortunately there are few pedestrians now, otherwise the dignified Suzhou Mansion is a big hall, and the dignified seven grades are poor, actually gobbling up in the street shop, being seen but to endanger the bad sound, and even slightly exaggerated, it is not impossible to be impeached and lose the black gauze hat secretly.

The huge man ate happily, patted his belly and laughed: "Haha, in the past half a month, I have eaten this meal deliciously today, and I can't eat the whole banquet of the Wang family." ”

"That's, I don't have an appetite for anything when I think of the case, and now I finally have some hope, Pang Tou, you should sleep well today, right?" The deputy head catcher in Anqiu Town said.

"Ha, I'm in good spirits now, I can't sleep until I catch the murderer, and it's not too late to sleep comfortably after catching that bastard." The huge companion looked at Li Moyi: "Li Moyi, what are you thinking?" But do you know who the murderer is? ”

Li Mo smiled, pondered, and asked seemingly seriously and casually: "Huge companion hall, if you face the murderer alone, how sure are you that you will catch him?" ”

The huge man was stunned, his eyes dimmed, he was silent for a moment, and finally replied, "I may ......... Not an opponent ........."

Li Mo smiled bitterly: "Then what should we do?" Even if you know who the murderer is, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch him. ”

The huge man's spirit perked up: "It's not in the way, the young man has already taken this into account, so we in Suzhou Mansion, because of the powerful relationship between this case, a few days ago, through the relationship, we have also invited many masters in the martial arts to assist in the town, among which the master of the whole way, the person without the true Tao, the young man of Qingsheng, etc., are all first-class masters today, as long as they know who the murderer is, let him have great powers, he will not want to escape from the palms of these masters!! ”

Li Mo was shocked.

………

………
