Li Da Niu looked at Xie Jinlan with great gratitude: "Jin Lan, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell Brother Da Niu, Brother Da Niu will definitely help you to the end!" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled and bowed slightly, then thought of something, he looked at Li Da Niu with some embarrassment: "Brother Da Niu, can you not tell Sister Xiaoyu about this?" ”

Li Daniu waved his hand disappreciatively: "Hey, I thought something was wrong!" Li Tiezhu's daughter-in-law is not a murderer, what else do I have to say? ”

Xie Jinlan suddenly put his heart at ease: "Brother Da Niu, thank you." ”

Li Daniu smiled very heartily: "Sensei is polite to me." ”

Inadvertently glanced up at the sky, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Yo, it's this time, I have to leave quickly." ”

Seeing that Li Daniu was about to leave, Xie Jinlan hurriedly answered: "Brother Da Niu, I will leave with you." ”

After saying goodbye to Widow Yang, the two walked to the entrance of the village together.

Along the way, Li Daniu kept persuading: "Jin Lan, you can do your own thing, you don't need to send me." Isn't that a waste of time......"

In the end, Xie Jinlan was defeated, and said helplessly: "Then I'll listen to Brother Da Niu." ”

After watching Li Daniu walk away, Xie Jinlan turned around and walked towards Li Tiezhu's house......

Seeing that it was Xie Jinlan, Zhang's face immediately turned into a flower: "Jin Lan, come so early!" Come on, come on, come in and sit! ”

Pulling Xie Jinlan to the kitchen to sit down, Zhang sent Chen to work in the backyard, and then quietly asked like a thief: "Did you bring something?" ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at Chen, who had his back to him, and then quickly took out the folded paper from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhang's hand.

Zhang opened it and saw the red thumb print in the lower right corner, and immediately stuffed the note into his arms with a smile: "It is worthy of reading books for so many years, that is, credit." ”

Xie Jinlan was a little surprised: "Auntie, don't you take a closer look?" ”

Zhang raised his hand and waved: "Hey, I'm illiterate, what's there to see?" My aunt can trust you as a person. ”

Xie Jinlan smiled a little shyly.

Zhang said jokingly: "Soon, you will change your name to call me grandma." ”

Xie Jinlan's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know how to answer......

After leaving Li Tiezhu's house, Xie Jinlan turned to Li Si's house.

Walking to the gate, Xie Jinlan raised his hand and knocked lightly on the wooden door.

"Who!" There was a harmonious voice from Qian in the room.

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen beside him.

Ruan Yezhen shook her head in disappointment: "The taste of candied fruit is not her." ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he quickly flashed to the corner of the wall.

A moment later, the door was pulled open from inside.

I saw Qian's probe looking out of the door, but found that there was no one outside the door, and couldn't help muttering: "Don't be anyone's child playing a prank, right?" ”

Then he shrank his head in, and then slowly closed the door.

After a while, seeing that there was no movement at the gate, Xie Jinlan walked out of the corner.

Back at Li Daniu's house, Xie Jinlan took out his underwear and ink strips, and began to sort out the case again:

The deceased had sackcloth crumbs in his mouth - he was suffocated to death by covering his mouth and nose with sackcloth.

There were sacks of sackcloth and dander between the deceased's fingers - when the deceased was fighting, his nails scratched the sackcloth and accidentally scratched the murderer's arm.

The murderer had secretly worshipped the deceased—a woman or a man with a weak voice, feeling guilty for the deceased. can quietly enter Li Tiezhu's house, and the murderer is familiar with the terrain.

The motive of the murderer for the killing......

Seeing Xie Jinlan's frowning and thoughtful appearance, Ruan Yezhen on the side didn't dare to disturb at this critical moment.

Looking at the various information listed on her underwear, she couldn't help but start to guess who the murderer was.

According to the transcript submitted by Master Chen before, combined with what he had seen and heard in Lijia Village in the past few days, Xie Jinlan wrote the names of all eligible people at the end of each message.

Combining all the information, Xie Jinlan finally found that only one person met all the conditions.

Looking at the name circled by Xie Jinlan, Ruan Yezhen's pupils suddenly shrank, and she blurted out in surprise: "This is impossible!" How could it be her! ”

Xie Jinlan stared at the name for a long time, and finally opened his mouth with a complicated expression: "All impossibilities have been eliminated." The remaining one, even if it is no longer possible, is the only truth! ”

Ruan Yezhen couldn't accept it: "How old is she, little girl?" How is it possible to have this ability? Xie Jinlan, you must be mistaken, right? Perhaps, maybe there are other people you haven't thought of? ”

Xie Jinlan put down the ink strip in his hand and looked straight at Ruan Yezhen's eyes:

"Why doesn't she have this ability? Don't forget, although Li Xiaoya looks thin, she has been working since she was a child, and her strength will not be small! You said that Chan would kill Li Bao'er out of resentment. Such a motive is also valid in Li Xiaoya. ”

Ruan Yezhen bit her lower lip fiercely: "But...... But...... These are just your guesses, aren't they? You don't have any evidence to prove that it's Li Xiaoya's killer, right? ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly: "This is indeed just my guess." But this is a reasonable answer that I have deduced based on the facts. Girl, you can't directly rule out the possibility of Li Xiaoya's murder just because she has a miserable life! ”

Ruan Yezhen's voice instantly weakened: "But...... But ......" was half ringing, but I didn't know how to refute it.

Xie Jinlan no longer paid attention to Ruan Yezhen's thousands of thoughts at the moment, and stood up directly. After putting away his underwear and ink strips, he walked out of the room again.

Ruan Yezhen hurriedly chased after her: "Where are you going?" ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at her lightly: "Go and verify whether my speculation is correct." ”

Ruan Yezhen opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

In the end, she seemed to accept the facts: "If, I mean if, Li Xiaoya is really the murderer of Li Bao'er, what are you going to do with her?" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't answer and asked: "According to the girl's opinion, what should be done?" ”

Ruan Yezhen's face suddenly showed obvious struggle. After a while, she looked at Xie Jinlan firmly:

"If she's the real murderer. So no matter how unspeakable she is, or how helpless she is, she should be dealt with according to law. Extenuating circumstances and doing it correctly or not are two different things. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he glanced at Ruan Yezhen in surprise.

As if guessing Xie Jinlan's thoughts, Ruan Yezhen smiled reluctantly: "What, did I impress you?" ”

Xie Jinlan nodded directly and admitted: "Such a simple truth, many people may not understand it in their lifetime." It's rare for a girl to understand. ”
