Chapter 276: Rope Sleeve
Hearing this, Wei Qingqing quickly moved his gaze to the tortoiseshell's waist, and sure enough, he found that the jade plaque that was originally hanging there was missing!
Why did the man in black take the jade plaque away?
What secret is hidden in that jade plaque?
Could it have something to do with the murderer?
Wei Qingqing was puzzled, so she could only complain to Ming Ye again, "It's all your fault!" If you hadn't been too conceited and had to blast the other guards away, perhaps we would have been able to capture the man in black by now, and we might have solved the mystery hidden on the jade plate! ”
Ming Ye snorted coldly when he heard this, "Do you think a few more rice bucket guards can catch him?" This king can tell you that even with ten more guards he can still get out! Taking a step back, even if the previous person was captured, he would never reveal a word, and would only wait for an opportunity to commit suicide! ”
Wei Qingqing was unconvinced and said to Ming Ye, "In short, it's better to catch it than not to catch it!" ”
"Next time, this king will definitely catch someone for you!" Ming Ye said with a gloomy face. m.
After Wei Qingqing's anger was out, he stopped paying attention to Ming Ye, and turned his attention back to the case So far, he can only start from the corpse again to see if he can find the clues that he couldn't find the first time!
Wei Qingqing held her chin and pondered for a moment, and her eyes suddenly fell on the rope that was placed aside as evidence.
She picked up the rope and took a closer look, and found that she had only paid attention to the thickness, width and texture of the rope before, and ignored an important clue The method of knotting the rope into a rope sleeve!
She stared intently at the rope noose and said to herself, "This knotting method is somewhat unique, and it doesn't seem to be the method used by ordinary people!" ”
She said that she ordered someone to find two more ropes, one to hand to Ming Ye, and the other to the lady in charge who came to get the news, "I'm sorry for you to tie a knot and let me see!" ”
Although Ming Ye and the others didn't know what Wei Qingqing's move meant, they still took the rope and did it.
Ming Ye used a rope to tie a rope and threw it to Wei Qingqing, and then the lady in charge also knotted a rope and handed it to Wei Qingqing to look at.
Wei Qingqing put the rope sets knotted by the two together for comparison, and found that although the ropes were knotted into a rope sleeve, the knots of the two were completely different.
Seeing Wei Qingqing's puzzled face, Ming Ye took the initiative to point to the rope sleeve he knotted and explained: "This is a commonly used knotting method in the army, and the knots tied with this method are very strong, and the rope sleeve formed can be used to tie horses." ”
Wei Qingqing knew that the rope noose and knots used to tie the horse must be very firm, otherwise the rope noose would be extremely easy to fall apart when the horse ran.
The lady in charge on the side also pointed to the rope set she knotted and explained: "The knotting method used by the old slave is the most common in the palace, and there is nothing special. ”
The lady in charge has been in the palace as an errand for many years, and her style of acting has naturally become palace-like, and it is not surprising that the most common knotting method in the palace is used to form a rope sleeve.
The knotting method of the rope sleeve that can hang the tortoiseshell corpse is completely different from the knotting method of Ming Ye and the lady in charge, and it is the third knotting method.
Ming Ye vaguely guessed Wei Qingqing's thoughts, and his eyes also fell on the evidence rope sleeve, "This knotting method is indeed rare. ”
"It's good to be rare! Common knotting methods are used by everyone, only the rare knotting method is used by some people with specific identities, as long as the source of this knotting method can be figured out, there is one more clue to find out the murderer! ”
After Wei Qingqing finished speaking, he took the pen and ink, drew the evidence rope sleeve on the paper according to the gourd drawing, focused on carefully depicting the knotting method of the rope sleeve, and handed it to the lady in charge after the drawing, "Annoying Mama asked people to take this drawing and quietly look around, and ask if anyone has seen this knotting method." ”
The mother in charge quickly followed Wei Qingqing's instructions, and Wei Qingqing's morale was greatly boosted after finding new clues, and she immediately continued to look for clues after the victory!
Her gaze scanned over the corpse repeatedly, eventually landing on the tortoiseshell's hair and clothes.
She leaned over to the corpse, gently pushed her head to the side, and carefully examined her green silk with Huoqi, and found that the green silk was stained with some very fine sand that was difficult to find without looking at Huoqi!
While carefully pushing the sand into the palm of her hand, she asked the lady in charge, "Where in the palace can there be such a small amount of sand?" ”
The lady in charge is an old man in the palace, and she only glanced at the sand in Wei Qingqing's palm and gave the answer, "There is a sandy area near the rockery in the northwest corner of the back garden, and the sand is full of these small gravel; There is also a small piece of sand next to the pond where the fish are raised in the Imperial Garden, and there is also this fine sand in the sand that you have in your hand; There is also a sandy area by the lake. ”
When Wei Qingqing was playing with the fine sand, he unexpectedly found that there was a small hosta petal between the tortoiseshell's hair.
She looked thoughtfully at the hosta petals, and searched all the way down the tortoiseshell's body, and finally found two more hosta petals on the inside of her sleeve and upper of her shoes.
Wei Qingqing stared thoughtfully at the petals of the hosta flower, speculating that it was probably inadvertently contaminated by the tortoiseshell when it was suffocated to death......
In other words, the first crime scene was in a place where there was both fine sand and hosta flowers!
Wei Qingqing immediately asked the lady in charge, "In the three places you said earlier, where are the hosta flowers planted?" ”
"There are a few hosta flowers planted near the rockery in the northwest corner of the back garden!"
"That's it!"
Wei Qingqing immediately asked the lady in charge to lead the way in front and walked all the way to the northwest corner of the back garden.
When she arrived near the rockery in the northwest corner, she found that it was actually the place she had been to not long ago, and the place where she deduced the crime was actually the entrance to the underground labyrinth that Lichen had taken her out of the underground labyrinth!
She subconsciously glanced at the entrance to the dungeon, and then began to quietly investigate the scene of the first crime.
She led people to conduct a carpet search of the first crime scene, and finally the emperor lived up to his wishes and found a jade pendant that was likely to be left behind by the murderer!
This is a piece of jade pendant with a whole body of turquoise and deer patterns engraved on both sides.
It is the same as the jade plate that Wei Qingqing found on the tortoiseshell before, with exquisite workmanship and excellent quality, and it is not worn by ordinary people at a glance.
Wei Qingqing's earliest jade plate has been taken away by the man in black, in order to keep the green jade deer pattern jade pendant that she just discovered, she did not make a noise after finding the jade pendant, but quietly hid the jade pendant, so as not to attract the man in black again!
To Wei Qingqing's surprise, the entrance to the underground palace was very hidden, even if she led someone to conduct a carpet search nearby, no one accidentally found the entrance when searching!
If you want to come to the entrance to the dungeon, you also need to trigger the mechanism to open......
After Wei Qingqing came to the entrance of the dungeon, he would always think uncontrollably about things related to the dungeon, and even guessed whether the person hiding behind the scenes would be the person in the dungeon?
