Hu Yanjin turned over the scar-faced man's right hand and found that the abrasions on his hands could no longer see the calluses on his hands, and he couldn't help but admire this person's desire to escape from crime.

obviously guessed that he was Chen Xuan, but you couldn't prove that he was Chen Xuan.

Hu Yanjin asked the head catcher of the government office: "Was anyone robbed outside the city three days ago?" Has anyone reported the crime? ”

The catcher nodded and shook his head and said, "It's true, a team of rogue horse thieves robbed pedestrians on the road outside the city, and the injuries were injured, but I don't remember that anyone was injured so badly." ”

There is such a coincidence in the world.

The scar-faced man couldn't see any expression on his face, he only stood sneeringly, and even the right hand that Hu Yanjin let go of still retained its original posture, as if everything he said had nothing to do with him.

Tao Qingyu leaned into Hua Qiao's ear and whispered, "Could it be that we made a mistake?" This man is not a murderer at all. ”

Although her words were not heard by others, the officials, including several head catchers, were thinking about this sentence at the same time. Lu Ping, who was next to Hua Qiao, scratched the back of his head several times, and his already messy hair was even more messy.

He also couldn't figure it out, obviously according to the clues given by the people around the academy, he tracked down to the Drunken Shadow Building one by one, and learned that the man who had advanced to the Drunken Shadow Building three days was this scar-faced man, but it turned out that he couldn't prove that he was Chen Kai. It's also so bizarre.

Hua Qiao had been staring at the shoes looming under the man's robe, and she frowned and whispered, "Assuming that this person is Chen Xuan, he must have already changed his clothes, and there will be no evidence related to the academy left on his body." But I suspect that his shoes have not been changed, and it would be nice to prove that the footprints on the beams are his. ”

She said it herself, and shook her head again: "It's too difficult, only the handprints with oil on the beams can be seen, and the footprints are half there, not to mention that they can't be seen at all......"

Tao Qingyu said thoughtfully: "Footprints...... Is it enough to prove that he has footprints in the room? ”

"Yes, if there are footprints on him, at least it can be attested that he went to that bookstore."

The two were whispering, Yi Chengjin glanced back at them, and he didn't know how much he heard clearly, anyway, he frowned, very serious. Tao Qingyu's heart was pounding: he was more handsome when he was serious!

"Good! Make footprints without footprints, and I have a way to get them to have marks on those shoes! After Tao Qingyu finished speaking, he took out a small paper bag in his pocket for a long time, and said triumphantly: "That's it!" ”

She clutched the paper bag in her palm and walked out with her head held high.

"Ah Cai, you said that you were injured by a horse thief three days ago, may I ask which gate did you enter the city from? You can't speak, then I say, you nod. East Gate? ”

Ah Choi shook his head.

"Simon?"

Ah Cai nodded vigorously.

"You came in through the west gate? Then why did you still step on the beam of the Wutong Academy? ”

Ah Cai hurriedly shouted "ahh Tao Qingyu lifted the hem of his clothes and said, "Still say no?" Let me see your soles! ”

Seeing Tao Qingyu lifting his robe, revealing the dirty shoes on his feet, Ah Cai retreated again and again, his eyes were full of fear, and the knife marks on his face looked a little congested, which was even more miserable.

Yi Chengjin knew that Tao Qingyu had moved, and pushed Ah Cai back, but he couldn't stand steadily, took two steps back, and fell to the ground. Yi Chengjin squatted down, grabbed his ankle, and cocked his foot.

Tao Qingyu bent down to pretend to check, but took the opportunity to sprinkle the white powder wrapped in the paper package in his hand on the sole of his shoe, and then winked at Yi Chengjin, and shouted: "Lord Yi, look, his shoes match the footprints on the beam!" ”

Yi Chengjin obviously understood her intentions, although he didn't know what this white powder was for, he still sang and said to her: "Well, the size is consistent, but how can you prove that it is him?" ”

Tao Qingyu pointed to the soles of his shoes and said, "If there are dead people in the house, there is something that will glow, which is what we often call ghost fire." The soles of his shoes were stained with the ghost fire of a dead man, and he stepped on the beams of the house, and now, if you take him to a dark room, the ghost fire on the soles of his shoes will glow! ”

The people around were all "buzzing" and talking, and some people who had seen the ghost fire described it vividly.

One of the cooks had the audacity to say, "Go to the firewood room!" There is no window in the firewood room, and as soon as the door is closed, you can't see your fingers inside. ”

The two catchers came over quickly, picked up Ah Cai and dragged him to the firewood room. Hua Qiao had already quietly walked behind Hu Yanjin, and she asked strangely, "Why don't you just take off his shoes and drag people over?" ”

Hu Yanjin couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and leaned over and said, "Take off your shoes, don't they stink?" ”

The two of them secretly laughed tacitly. They didn't see that at this time, the eyes of "Ah Cai" were already full of despair. Ghost fire, he knows, there are often in the graveyard. But how can there be a ghost fire in the academy? And how can it get on your shoes?

Before the door of the firewood room was closed, it was already dark inside, and at this time, several people inside clearly saw that the soles of "Ah Cai" were annoyed with a faint ghostly light. Ghost Fire!

"What else do you have to deny? Chen Xuan. Yi Chengjin stared at his face that couldn't bear to look at him.

"There's nothing to deny, if this is Luo Wenting who wants to expose me, I will admit it." I only heard Scarface Chen Xuan say slowly.

Yi Chengjin glanced at Tao Qingyu approvingly, Qingyu's face turned red, and he left the firewood room first and ran back to the buckwheat.

"Chen Xuan has already confessed!" Qing Yu's face was flushed, full of excitement.

Hu Yanjin and Hua Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That'...... What the hell is that bag of stuff you're in? How can you make a ghost fire? "The buckwheat is even more curious.

Qing Yu smiled: "That's because my father spent a lot of thought, first found a lot of flint, painstakingly ground it into powder, and then went to the kiln to heat it, anyway, it took a long time to get this kind of thing, if the temperature is higher, it will spontaneously combust." In Shangzhuang, it is all kept in ice water, and this time I came out, I brought this. The ghost fire in the cemetery is actually this kind of thing doing tricks. ”

"The owner of the pottery village is really powerful, he can make anything!" Hua Qiao praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, my dad likes to study flying machines first, and gunpowder second. But I don't want the court to use it to fight. Tao Qingyu was even happier that he had helped Yi Chengjin.

Chen Xuan was packed in a prison car, and was escorted back to the capital by Li Dutou of the Criminal Department, and the case was closed, and of course Hu Yanjin and Yi Chengjin had to return to the capital to resume their lives.

Xu Zhijin and his second brother changed schools to continue preparing for the exam, and the four of them said goodbye to Xu Zhijin and set off from Yangzhou all the way to the north. The way back is different from when I first came, after these few days of joint investigation, everyone is more familiar and cordial.

Yi Chengjin became Xiao Yi, and Huyan Jin also became Huyan.

The horse stepped on the wind, and unconsciously returned to the intersection of Ziyinggou.

"Sister Qingyu, remember to play with me in Baoying!" Hua Qiao took Qing Yu's hand and shook it twice. Qing Yu has always boasted that she is a female man, but at this time, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Yi Chengjin smiled and comforted her: "I also run this road several times a year, and I will come to see you next time." Let's go, I'll send you in. ”

When Qing Yu heard this, he laughed and said, "You are not familiar with the road inside, you send me in, I have to send you out again!" ”

Hua Qiao covered her mouth and smiled:

"You send her, he sends you, and he sends it endlessly!"
