Chapter 8: Bloody Clothes
"Okay, then Master, don't worry, let me wash the blood stains on my trouser legs first, okay?"
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, Feng Dui looked at Bai Zhi's trouser legs, and there were indeed blood stains on them. Feng Dui stretched out his finger and was about to use Dao Technique to directly clean up the bloodstains, but the outstretched hand was held down by Bai Zhi again.
"Master, there are still people over there. Let the disciples wash themselves. ”
Dao art cannot be seen by mortals, this is the rule of the Dao Gate, and this Bai Zhi also knows it, so she stopped the action of sealing it.
And Bai Zhi also has to take advantage of this time to see what is hiding nearby. If it is directly done by the sealing, then Bai Zhi will not have time.
Bai Zhi squatted down, gently dipped a little water with her hands, and hit the hem of her pants with blood stains, ready to wash the blood stains first.
However, the well water at the end of winter was still very cold, and I didn't feel it at first, but immediately Bai Zhi's little hands felt the biting cold. Bai Zhi hurriedly put the water-soaked hand on her face, wanting to warm her little hands with the temperature on her face.
"I'll do it." Seeing Angelica Angelica's seal like this, he squatted down, and then scooped out a little water from the bucket with his hands, sprinkled it on Angelica's trouser legs, and gently rubbed it.
"Thank you...... Thank You, Master. I don't know if it's because Bai Zhi's cold little hands have played a role, anyway, Bai Zhi feels that her face is very hot at the moment.
"It doesn't matter. Are you looking for something? ”
The sound of Feng Dui was not loud, and the two of them were squatting close to each other facing each other, so the family over there couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Master can see that the apprentice is indeed looking for something."
Bai Zhi said with a wry smile. She didn't say that it was her brother Li Zhiyan who proposed to come here to find something.
"Li Zhiyan asked you to come here to find it, right?"
"Master...... How do you know. ”
"Guess. But now it's certain. ”
"Master guessed ...... right"
"Didn't find it?"
"Yes, I was so stupid that not only did I not find it, but I didn't even think of what I was looking for."
Bai Zhi was really like a little apprentice in front of Feng Dui, especially now that Feng Dui was seriously rubbing the trouser legs, so that Bai Zhi's hands didn't dare to take them off his face. Even when he spoke, there was a little complaint in his tone.
"Don't be in a hurry, cultivators are most afraid of being in a hurry, calm down, think carefully, you should be able to think of the key."
"Yes, Master."
Feng Dui's words seemed to have some kind of magic power, which quieted Bai Zhi's anxious mood. I'm starting to think about it seriously.
What's wrong with that? Wait, bloodstains?! When Bai Zhi was thinking, she suddenly saw the blood stains that were still rubbing Fengdui, and she had a flash of inspiration.
By the way, it's blood. The murderer that both he and his brother thought was bloodstained at all. But according to Lord Feng's death, it is absolutely impossible to kill Lord Feng without any traces of blood on his body.......
Could it be that I'm wrong?! ’
Bai Zhi shook her head and continued to think.
According to my initial thoughts, it should be that after the murderer killed Lord Feng, he hid behind the door, and waited until the maid pushed open the door and found the body, and the housekeepers all poured into the study.
The scene in the study must have been chaotic at the time, and the murderer would barely notice him when he came out from behind the door.
And according to the situation at the time, the first person suspected could only be the woman with the murder weapon. The murderer could blame the woman for the murder.
But if this is the case, when the murderer came out from behind the door, there was definitely a lot of blood on his body, which could not be concealed.
However, the fact is that all the people seen in the front yard did not have blood on their bodies. ’
"No, no, doesn't that prove that no one is a murderer? It shouldn't be, which wet mud definitely proves that there is another person in the study. The woman's shoes were very clean, so it could only have been left by the murderer.
Besides, it's understandable that I'm wrong, but my brother can't be wrong, otherwise my brother wouldn't have let him come near the well to look for evidence.......
Wells, wet mud, bloodstains, clean clothes.........
Wait, I figured it out! ”
Bai Zhi's eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked at Feng Dui, who was still busy. I don't know why, the blood stains on the hem of Angelica Angelica's trousers are very difficult to wash off, and after being stained with water, there are signs of continuous expansion.
"The time the murderer stood behind the door and hid, he was indeed wearing clean clothes and there was no blood on his body. But this is supposed to be the second time the killer has entered the study.
Yes, the first time the murderer entered the study, it may have been some problem, and there was a conflict with Lord Feng, and then the murderer stabbed his father to death with a dagger.
Then because Lord Feng's blood splashed on his body, the murderer came to the well and wanted to wash away the blood stains on his body. At this time, the murderer happened to step on the wet mud by the side of many wells.
But the murderer at that time was like the current master, and no matter how much he washed, he couldn't wash off the bloodstains, so he simply .......
I simply took off my bloodstained clothes and hid near the well! Then he went back to his room to change into clean clothes, and then went to the study where the crime occurred.
As for why he went back to the study, there were only two possibilities, either he had the need to cover up his own traces, or he wanted to blame the woman. Or both are his purposes.
In this case, wet mud, bloodstains, daggers, clean clothes. Everything makes sense. ”
Bai Zhi suddenly understood the purpose of her brother to let her come near the well, and almost jumped up happily.
Bloody clothes, bloody clothes! The murder happened in the morning, and the murderer must not have been able to properly dispose of the bloody clothes on his body. It could only be hidden in the murderer's own room or near the well, and if he was hidden in his room and searched, the murderer would be exposed immediately.
So the most likely place is near this well, but where is it......
The murderer must have been like himself, squatting next to the well, washing his clothes with water.
According to the empathy that my brother once taught, if he was the murderer himself, where would he hide the bloody clothes on his body when he had just killed someone at this time? ’
Bai Zhi lowered her head and imagined that she was washing the blood stains on her body, then raised her head and saw the reflection in the bucket in front of her.
This is the reflection of a large locust tree behind Angelica Angelica, which has been left with no leaves left in the cold winter. But because of the ancient nature of the locust tree, even the dry branches are densely intertwined, covering part of the sky behind Angelica Angelica.
At the same time, Angelica dahurica also saw an inconspicuous baggage-like object in the depths of the intertwined branches.
This is what Bai Zhi has been looking for, just now Bai Zhi always thought that there was something hidden on the ground, but he didn't expect it to be on a tree.
Bai Zhi stopped Master Fengdui's action of still cleaning, and told Master Fengdui what he had found.
Feng Dui looked into the depths of the tree branch above, stood up and made a jump, jumped on the branch, and in a jump he had already taken the things on the tree and fell.
Indeed, as Bai Zhi expected, it was the bloody clothes, and the fabric of the clothes was very valuable.
"Eh, Lord Catcher, what did you just take from the tree?"
Because the action of the sealing exchange was too fast, the family member standing on the side did not react at all, and the sealing exchange had already come down. So at this time, the family could only shout and run towards Fengdui.
"What do you ask us about the trees in your house? Let's go, Master, go to the front hall, it's time for the truth to come out. ”
Bai Zhi didn't pay attention to what the family said, and walked towards the front hall with the seal in hand.
