Chapter 224: Knots

Because of the special nature of this girl's corpse, Li Zhiyan squatted next to the corpse and prepared to carefully examine the clues on this corpse.

Bai Zhi also covered her mouth and nose, standing behind Li Zhiyan, watching Li Zhiyan's examination of the girl's body.

"Yiyi, you and Yue Ling should go back first. You are not needed here. "This time, because of the special situation, Li Zhiyan forgot to ask Bai Zhi and Yue Ling not to come with him at first.

But since they had already followed, Li Zhiyan didn't force them to go back. It's just that now that the corpse is going to be examined, Li Zhiyan doesn't want Bai Zhi and Yue Ling to watch behind him.

"Brother, one more, one more wisdom. Maybe I can find out what you can't find? ”

Li Zhiyan didn't answer, shook his head and began to check it seriously.

Because the corpse was front-facing and downward, Li Zhiyan asked the family to completely turn the corpse over. After flipping it over, I found that the expression on the girl's face was very strange.

It's an expression of panic, fear, fear. At the same time, his eyes were wide open and never closed. After turning it over, Li Zhiyan closed his eyes for her.

The coarse linen clothes on his body are still very neat, and there is no damage. It should have been dead without any struggle before being killed.

It's just that Li Zhiyan noticed that the girl's arms, knees, and toes of shoes all had some moss. These mosses don't grow from the dirt in the yard, they look more like they are rubbed off the walls.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan hurriedly walked to the east side of Zheng Butcher's house, behind the wall over there, was the courtyard of Mrs. Wang's house. On the fence on this side, there are some traces of climbing.

Moreover, the moss marks on the wall are very new, and they should have been left from last night.

The distance of these traces was calculated. Li Zhiyan reasoned. Maybe there was something in Mrs. Wang's house last night, which alarmed the daughter of Zheng Butcher's family here.

After hearing the movement, the girl climbed the fence to see what was going on at Mrs. Wang's house.

Who knows, but it was discovered by the murderer, and then caused the murder of Mrs. Wang's neighbors.

The murderer should have jumped over the fence after discovering the girl, caught the girl in the middle of the yard and killed her, and then felt that it was not safe to kill the girl. Only then did Zheng Butcher's family and Gong Matchmaker's family in the east all be resolved.

The only eyewitness was dead, making it even more difficult to find the killer.

"Brother!"

When checking the wall, Bai Zhi did not follow, and still checked next to the girl's body. At this time, it seemed that he had discovered something again, and called Li Zhiyan to go over.

"What's wrong, Yiyi?"

"Here." Bai Zhi pointed to the neck of the girl's corpse, where there was this red line. It was as if something was hanging around his neck.

Li Zhiyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take out the thing, but he pulled the red rope and found that the red rope was knotted at the girl's neck. I won't be able to solve it for a while.

Li Zhiyan wasted so much effort that he untied the thing on his neck. When he untied it, Li Zhiyan's forehead was already covered with sweat.

In my heart, I silently said tens of thousands of sorry words to the girl in front of me. Li Zhiyan and Bai Zhi looked at the thing they took out.

A small sachet.

It is a very common thing for girls to wear a sachet around their necks. A rich woman hangs a jade pendant or something, and a woman from a poor family can only hang a small sachet.

However, Li Zhiyan and Bai Zhi were not disappointed with this sachet. The main reason is the rope of this sachet, which is very difficult to untie on the girl's neck.

The rope must be very smooth for the things hanging around the neck of ordinary girls, otherwise there is a very complicated knot in the middle, and it will not strangle the girl herself.

When Li Zhiyan untied the knot just now, he felt that this knot must have been wrapped around the rope in a hurry when it was on his neck. So there is a good chance that this sachet is not the girl's own.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan hurriedly grabbed the sachet and pulled it hard. The contents of the sachet fell to the ground with a sound.

The thing that fell on the ground was a jade ring, almost the size of which could be put on Li Zhiyan's little finger. A simple figure has been carved on the outside of the jade ring.

There is an equilateral triangle in the middle of the circle. This is the figure on it after Li Zhiyan touched the jade ring. As for the meaning of the figure, Li Zhiyan didn't know.

Except for the jade ring, there was nothing else in the sachet. Li Zhiyan took the jade ring to Bai Zhi and asked her to take a good look at it.

What the hell is the jade ring in this sachet for, Bai Zhi didn't understand. The pattern on the jade ring was also touched, but it was useless.

After searching for more than half an hour, nothing was found. The only thing that can be determined is that the murderer's target must be Mrs. Wang, and the other two are just solved by the murderer.

And Wang Tian's whereabouts, so far, nothing has been found. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from this world, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The corpses were sent to Yizhuang, and Li Zhiyan paid the money and asked the officials to find someone to repair their tombs and erect monuments. Then he took Bai Zhi and Yue Ling to Qingyun Restaurant.

Of course, I didn't come to the restaurant this time to eat, but to find Xue Rengui. Li Zhiyan and Xue Rengui made an appointment yesterday, met in the restaurant this morning, and then continued to search for the whereabouts of the account books.

It's just that Xue Rengui came to the restaurant early in the morning, and he couldn't wait for Li Zhiyan to come over.

Just when Xue Rengui was about to feel that Li Zhiyan had broken his promise, Li Zhiyan and Yueling Baizhi walked into the restaurant.

"Why are you here now, we've been waiting for a long time. Knowledge. ”

This morning, taking advantage of General Wei Chi's inattention, Yu Chi escaped from the mansion directly over the wall and followed Xue Rengui to the restaurant.

It's just that she, like Xue Rengui, has been waiting for a long time, so she has a little resentment in her heart for Li Zhiyan, who has just come over.

However, Li Zhiyan did not respond to Yu Chi Yuan'er's words, but just walked to Xue Rengui's side, pressed Xue Rengui's shoulder, pushed him to the wall, and asked sharply.

"Let me ask you Xue Rengui, what else are you hiding from me about that account book?"

"Books? No, Master Lee. ”

"Is there really none?! A grain and grass account book of the treasury department, there are now nine deaths related to it, and one life and death are uncertain. You tell me you don't have anything to hide from me?! ”
