24 Unsolved Cases (XIII)

But it's very strange, why did she ask at the inn A familiar smell of medicine, this smell of medicine seems to have smelled on someone, could it be that he also came here?

Chang Yi got up and wanted to check it out in the backyard.

Over there, Feng Shun pointed out to Ling Che what he thought was weird, that is, the crumbs of hemp rope that could be found as evidence.

"The debris just went down the beam and under the window, and I remember it was a lot brighter than the others, but why is it no different now?"

Ling Che walked to the window and touched the rest of the window frame with his fingers, and then touched the place Feng Shun was pointing at, his fingers lightly blocked, and he actually wiped a layer of oil on his fingertips, not only oil, but also signs of fading.

If you didn't touch it, no one would notice anything special, and now that it was discovered, Ling Che wiped off the oil stains with the handkerchief he took out of his arms, and a shallow abrasion mark flowed out. I opened the window and looked down, just enough to see everything in the backyard clearly, and not far below was the ice storage. He handed the oil-stained handkerchief to Feng Shun, "Smell it." ”

Feng Shun took it and sniffed, frowning, "This is, the smell of grease in the kitchen." ”

"Well, there's also an old-fashioned effect, which can easily hide the marks left by the touch of paint, and the murderer is very smart. Ling Che took out the rope that Feng Shun had prepared in advance, tied a pillow to the end and simulated a corpse hanging down the window, and then passed the rope through the beam, tied a slipknot for easy pulling, and finally set an iron nail at the door, and let Feng Shun stand at the door to relay.

"Sir, this is ......"

"Just imitate it, you just don't move, don't let go. ”

"Good!"

Feng Shun cooperated, and saw that the end of the pillow fell to the corresponding height and tied a dead knot under the beam, and the iron nail also fell to the ground because of his relay.

Ling Che threw out a knife and steadily cut off the rope in the knotted place, the long rope fell off and fell at Feng Shun's feet, Feng Shun was dumbfounded.

"This ......" is a complete restoration of the crime scene!

He walked over and put away the broken rope and iron nails, "The weight of a person must not be dragged with such a thin rope, and the weight of the nails can be imagined." ”

Feng Shun immediately moved the bench over, stood up and inspected the small hole in the broken door, and sure enough, the other end of the broken iron nail was still inside.

"How could the murderer forget such important evidence?"

"It's not that I forgot, when the nail broke, it fell in a place that could not be easily discovered by the murderer, probably at this time, someone came over and hastily cleaned it up in a panic, so as not to be discovered by others. ”

"So, the so-called secret room is nothing more than a masterpiece of one person covering one person's murder?"

"Exactly!"

With this inference demonstration, Feng Shun simply worshipped Ling Che as a god, and saluted very respectfully, "Feng Shun has been taught!"

Ling Che smiled casually: "It doesn't have to be like this, let's go, Ah Yi should have asked about it below." ”

Chang Yi didn't gain much from going to the back, and when he came back, he just caught up with Ling Che and them going downstairs, "Master, how are you doing over there?"

Ling Che patted Feng Shun's arm and praised, "It's not bad, thanks to Shunzi, the mystery of the secret room has been solved, how are you on your side?"

Chang Yi handed his transcript to Ling Che, "Shopkeeper Chen is very cooperative, not bad." ”

Ling Che always thought that he had learned Chang Yi's words, but now he found that it was just the tip of the iceberg, and now it was her real level of calligraphy, and she gave a merciless evaluation, "The words are too ugly, not even as good as the children in private schools!"

"Let's just look at it, solving the case and handwriting don't seem to have anything to do with it. Chang Yi was a little faceless and retorted in a low voice.

"Go back and practice!" Ling Che couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he listened to her fallacy.

"Got it, I'll practice when I have time back to Fengyang!"

"Go back to the post station and practice. ”

"Don't be in a hurry for this moment!" Chang Yi one hundred and twenty reluctantly.

Hey, why did you refute it with the phrase "laziness of not teaching strictly"? Isn't this nothing to do?

Bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Chen, before leaving, Chang Yi gave Shopkeeper Chen a reassuring pill to eat, only saying that his son's case would soon have eyebrows, so that he could be a little calmer.

Leaving the Tianxiang Inn, the three of them casually found a small shop and ordered food, while Chang Yi and Feng Shun looked at Ling Che with strange eyes.

Ling Cheyun poured three cups of tea, picked up one of them and took a sip, "If you want to say it, just say it, you are not tired of staring at you like this?"

Chang Yi asked Feng Shun, "What do you want to ask?"

"I just can't figure it out, I think that Mr. is a cautious person, and he doesn't hide the results, which seems to be a bit deliberate. Feng Shun looked confused.

"Coincidentally, I think so too, Master, you don't seem to say it to Shopkeeper Chen. ”

"Naturally, it's not for Shopkeeper Chen, it's for the accomplices hiding in the shadows. The corners of Ling Che's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled coldly.

"Accomplice?!" Chang Yi blurted out, quickly covered his mouth, and looked left and right cautiously. "How can Master be sure that there is an accomplice in the inn? Oh, so you noticed that someone was eavesdropping, so you can say that? You want to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"Yes, there is this idea. Ling Che played with the cup in his hand.

"When was Master sure that there was an accomplice?" Chang Yi was puzzled.

"Guess?"

Chang Yi had a bitter face, "How can I guess this, I didn't go up with you, and I don't know what happened?"

"What about you?" Ling Che looked sideways at Feng Shun.

"Since the murderer has an accomplice and is familiar with the environment of the inn, does Mr. suspect that the accomplice is him!"
