Chapter 159: Buddha's Hand (10)

After listening to Xing Ruyi's analysis, Chang Tai was silent for a while, and then asked someone to summon Zhang Xi.

Now that there is a new suspect, it is time to bring it up and ask about it. Perhaps, after asking, I asked about the murderer who killed two people in a row. Before the person who summoned Zhang Xi returned, the eyewitnesses who could not be found this time appeared.

This eyewitness is not from Nanwang Village, but from Dongwang Village next door. This person, suffering from dizziness, only likes to go out on rainy days and at night. On the night of the crime, he happened to come to Nanwang Village to run errands, and he became a witness to the murder scene in a daze.

"What do you see? Let's take it into detail. ”

"I'm here to visit relatives in Nanwang Village." The man lowered his head embarrassedly: "I have a problem when I was a child, I can't see the sun, and when I see the sun, I have a headache and my head is dizzy." My father and mother said that I was reincarnated when I didn't choose this hour, although I was reincarnated, I still gave birth to a ghost body, and I could only go out on rainy days or at night. Therefore, when I go to relatives, most of them are also in the evening. ”

Chang Tai nodded, indicating that he would send a messenger to verify the situation he said later.

"My father was a hunter and walked in the mountains all year round. No, I just got some fur a few days ago, and I thought I could make some clothes to protect myself from the cold when the weather was cold. My mother was brought up by my aunt, and she would remember to give my aunt a share of the good things we had in the house. It just so happened that my little cousin was weak, so I chose some of those furs and sent them to him according to my mother's instructions. The newly delivered furs are still hanging in my aunt's yard, and because they are new, they need to be dried for a few more days to get rid of the smell. ”

"We will send someone to verify these situations, and you can tell me about the murderer you saw."

"I just think the man is a little suspicious, and I'm not sure he's the murderer. After all, I had never been to that ancestral hall, and I hadn't watched him kill with my own eyes. The witness said as he swept the corner of his eye towards Chang Tai.

"Then tell me about the suspicious person you saw."

"Yes, sir." The eyewitness took back the afterglow: "Last night, I sent fur to my aunt's house according to my mother's instructions, and when I entered the village, it was just dark. My aunt left me to eat, and after eating, I chatted with my uncle and my little cousins, and drank some home-brewed fruit wine. My aunt originally wanted to keep me, but I didn't like it, because I thought their house was too crowded, and my two little cousins were sleeping in such a bad position, that it was a shame to make do with them. Later, I took my leave and prepared to follow the main road in the village directly back to Dongwang Village. ”

"The Zhang family ancestral hall is not on the main road, right?"

"No, no." The witness nodded, "I originally took the main road, but as I walked, I was in a hurry, so I turned to the small road." I've been walking at night since I was a child, and I'm used to walking at night, so I don't find it difficult to walk, anyway, my eyes see things in the dark just as they see things during the day. In my eyes, there is no difference between small roads and big roads. ”

"Go on."

"I first found a place to avoid people, solved the urgent matter, and then continued along the path in the direction of Dongwang Village. As I walked, I heard footsteps. The footsteps were very light, as if they were deliberately not stepping on them. I thought it was strange, thinking that I had bumped into a thief in the middle of the night, so I hid with my waist. Then, I saw a man dressed in black. ”

"Someone in black?"

"Yes, it's black, and it's the kind of black clothes that are very tight, and it doesn't look like it's out to do a good job. I hid in the shadows, gearing up, thinking that if I could catch him, maybe the government would be able to ask about some big and important cases, and I would also get some reward. Just as I was waiting for an opportunity and was about to make a move, a gust of wind suddenly rose, followed by a faint smell of blood. I sniffed with my nose and felt like it was floating over the man in black. Just as I was thinking about whether to do it or not, he suddenly pulled out a knife. ”

"Did he find you?"

"It's not!" The witness shook his head: "When he just took out the knife, I was also scared into a cold sweat, thinking that I had been discovered by him, and my nervous back was in a cold sweat." But then, I noticed that he was doing a particularly strange move. ”

"What move?"

He lifted his foot, rubbed the hilt of his knife against the upper of his shoe, and then put it away again. I thought it was strange at the time, but then I figured it out. Nine times out of ten, it was something on the hilt of his sword, and it was most likely the smell of blood I smelled. There was blood on the hilt of his sword, and when the wind blew over, he also smelled the smell of blood on his body, and he thought of the knife hidden in his body, and then took it out and rubbed it on the upper of his shoe. ”

"Isn't that redundant?" Xing Ruyi rested his chin on the fox.

"yes, I think that guy is stupid, too. The handle of this knife has to be wiped off with blood, but you should wipe it elsewhere and wipe it on the upper of your shoe, is this for fear that you will not be able to leave evidence? The witness shook his head: "But later, I thought it through again." At that time, this man was dressed in black, and even his face was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes and half of the bridge of his nose. Nine times out of ten, a person like him would never wear this dress home. This knife is a good knife, and I am reluctant to throw it away, but I don't need clothes. That's why he used the uppers of his shoes to wipe the blood. ”

"The analysis is good, but if you wipe the bloodstains, you can use clothes, why use the uppers of shoes?" Xing Ruyi finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Chang Tai and shouted: "Habit, this is a personal habit that even murderers are used to." I remember when I was a kid, I did something like this. It's easy to catch a cold in winter, and when you go out, you always forget to bring a handkerchief on your body, what should you do if you have a runny nose? You can't wipe it on your clothes, it's easy to be seen as a joke, so you wipe it on the upper of your shoes with your hands. This ordinary person will not look at your shoes when walking, as long as they are dry, and then brush them off with something. However, I also had this bad habit when I was a child, and the girl's family will always be more concerned about her image, and when she is older, she will consciously take the initiative to bring a veil. Occasionally, I forgot it, and the elders in the family would remind me. ”

Xing Ruyi said it smoothly, but he didn't see Chang Tai's face becoming extremely ugly.

Wipe snot on your shoes, how can there be such a disgusting habit in this world.

Chang Taylor ordered his head not to think deeply, and directly called a messenger over: "Come on, go and check Nanwang Village, including the nearby villages, who has this habit?" ”

After the officer left, the witness continued: "Because he covered his face, I didn't see his appearance too clearly, but I really saw his appearance. He was unusually tall and burly, even compared to the adult in front of him, he was a little more. ”

The witnesses compared horizontally, and the meaning was obvious, that is, the suspect was stronger than Chang Tai.

Listening to the words of the witnesses and watching the gestures of the witnesses, Xing Ruyi deliberately swept over Chang Tai. According to the experience of all kinds of beautiful men in her previous life, she stayed at home and looked at all kinds of beautiful men, and this Chang adult definitely belonged to the type of person who was thin in clothes and fleshy in undressing.

Look at Chang Tai, and then look at the fox in his arms.

She has seen a fox transformed into a human form, but she has never seen a fox transformed into a human form. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt heartbroken, why didn't she take advantage of the fact that he was still a person to sneak a glance.

"Want to see it?"

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly popped up in my head. Bow your head and meet the fox's eyes.

Xing Ruyi quickly blinked, and said in his heart: "I want to see, I want to see." ”

"It's a beautiful idea." The fox glanced at her: "My Qingqiu nine-tailed fox clan has clan rules. ”

"What clan rules? Could it be that only your own lady can see her own body? Xing Ruyi thought in his heart.

"No, but it's pretty much the same." The fox picked his eyes: "If you want to see it, you have to marry me." ”

"Marry you? Think beautifully. Although you are good-looking, I admit that I was once fascinated by your facial features, but people are people, foxes are foxes, no matter how unpromising I am, I can't marry a fox. ”

"If you marry, I'll marry." The fox gave Xing Ruyi another blank look, broke free from her arms, and jumped outside.

The dialogue between the fox and Xing Ruyi was all carried out in their hearts, and even if there was a break and the fox was gone, the people present would not feel that there was anything wrong.

Xing Ruyi snorted coldly, only to find that the witness was still telling: "The man in black didn't speak, but when he left, he cleared his throat. If you are not mistaken, he should not be a person who lives in Nanwang Village all the year round, but lives in Luoyang City. ”

"Just by clearing his throat, you can be sure that he doesn't live in the village?"

"Not absolutely, but to a large extent." The eyewitness explained: "Most of the people in this village are relatively good, but if they clear their throats, they will definitely not be taboo, and they will even spit out some foam or phlegm." This Luoyang City is a royal place, with many people and many requirements. Most of this throat clearing has forbearance, the kind that is held hard and has to be cleared. After it's cleared, it's going to be pressed back.,Anyway, it's not easy to get noticed.。 Also, people who have no problem with their throat will not be able to clear their throats, and those who have throat clearers must have an uncomfortable throat. My lord, why don't you look for it according to this? ”

"You're observant."

"It's all a skill that I have practiced out of idle and boring, and it's not very useful in normal times." The witness touched his head embarrassedly: "I can't go out during the day, but the mess outside is very attractive, I can't hold it back, I just look through the window, listen through the window, and try to see or listen to as many things as possible." When the days are long, I will see the way out of the door, and I will hear the way out of the door. ”

As soon as the witnesses finished speaking, the person who summoned Zhang Xi returned. Xing Ruyi glanced out curiously, and decided that the person the eyewitness saw at night was Zhang Xi.
