Liu Guard's elder brother sniffed, "Last night, he said that he made an appointment to drink at Shangtuqiao. He worked as a guard in the palace and made many friends, and we didn't find it strange. I didn't want to delay my return, but later a passer-by came to report, saying that my brother had drunk too much, his foot slipped, his head hit the stone, and when he was found, he had lost his breath. ”

This year's winter is exceptionally cold, and it snows heavily at both ends of the three days, even if the sun is out, it is also sluggish, and there is not much warmth.

Some of the trails are indeed covered with ice, especially around the water.

As Jiang Yanzhi knows, there are no less than three unlucky people who fall to their deaths while walking like this this winter.

"Did you hit the back of your head?"

Jiang Yanzhi looked at the Liu guard in the coffin, although there was a wound on his forehead, it was not too deep, and it should not be a fatal wound, so the wound should be in the back, blocked by hair.

Liu Dalang, the elder brother of Liu Guard, nodded, "The three kings are like gods, and when I went to carry him back, he was lying on a sharp rock." ”

Jiang Yanzhi frowned, stretched out his hand and pointed to the coffin, "If it hurts the back of his head, then how can he have a wound on his face?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his white and chubby hand, grabbed the hand of Guard Liu in the coffin, and looked at it carefully, "It's strange, but there are no scratches on your hands." ”

Min Weixiu looked at the serious Jiang Yanzhi and smiled, he was bold, and he was not afraid of these corpses or anything at all.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a woman muttering around him, "The three kings are really temperamental, you see, he was about to cry when he took Liu Erlang's hand." Liu Erlang is really blessed, if he didn't die, then follow the three kings who don't eat spicy food, and make steady progress! It's a pity! ”

The corners of Min Weixiu's mouth twitched, and she moved closer in the direction of Jiang Yanzhi.

Liu Dalang on the side has changed his color greatly, and he suddenly remembered Jiang Yanzhi's main position, this guy was first in Kaifeng Mansion, and then in Dali Temple, and he was specially involved in judging cases.

"Three kings, but my brother died unjustly?"

Jiang Yanzhi touched his non-existent beard, "At first glance, it looks a little strange." What about his shoes? Take me to see it. ”

Liu Dalang nodded, and led Jiang Yanzhi to the inner room, Min Weixiu took a look, and hurriedly followed, and after a while, he picked up a pair of shoes and handed them to Jiang Yanzhi, "It's this pair, because of the New Year's Festival, my brother and sister just sewed new shoes for him." ”

Jiang Yanzhi took the shoes and frowned, "Look, there are no slip marks at the bottom of these shoes...... When you changed her clothes, did you notice any scars on his body, whether it was abrasions or bruises? ”

Liu Dalang thought about it carefully, "There are bruises on my knees!" There didn't seem to be any obvious scars on the side. ”

Jiang Yanzhi sighed, "Guard Liu was killed by someone, not by falling to his death. ”

Liu Dalang was shocked, "What do you say!" ”

Jiang Yanzhi looked at the courtyard of his house, where there was obviously ice, thought about it, picked up a quilt from the inner room, and spread it on the ground, "Lu Bing, you can demonstrate." ”

An Xi gloated and looked at Lu C who walked past her, haha, this guard is really miserable!

Lu Bing stood there expressionlessly, first with his back to the quilt, his feet slipped, and then he lay back, because he wanted to demonstrate, so his movements were very slow, he first landed on his elbows, and then his head hit the ground.

Jiang Yanzhi pointed to Lu Bing, who was lying on the quilt, "See, when people fall, their feet are uncontrollable, so they want to use their hands to protect themselves the most." Whether it is falling backwards or forwards, he will subconsciously land on the ground with his hands, of course, you can say, sliding too fast, he has not had time to use his hands, and he will fall directly to his head, which is possible. ”

"However, in this case, there will be sharp slippage marks on the sole panel."

"If the person is not dead, get up and walk, and soon the slip marks will be gone, but Liu Guard fell to his death all of a sudden, knowing that if you go to lift, his feet have not touched the ground, so there should still be slip marks on it, but he has no slip marks on it. What does this mean? He most likely didn't slip to. ”

"Besides, you said he was lying on a big rock at that moment, so what about the wound on his forehead and the wound on his knee?"

Jiang Yanzhi said, and shouted Lu Bing again.

Lu Bing stood up helplessly, and slid head-on again, this time he first landed on his knees, and then quickly supported himself with his hands.

"Slipping forward, a kind of slippery fast, the whole person pounces directly, then there should be all kinds of bruises on the body, and they will not be concentrated in the knees. The other one, just like Lu Bing just demonstrated, is not sliding badly, and the knees are on the ground first, but in this case, there will be scars on the hands, and there will be no more kowtows. ”

"I was in the mourning hall just now, and I have already seen it, and there are no scars on Guard Liu's hands. Isn't that weird? ”

Jiang Yanzhi said, looking at the dumbfounded Liu Dalang, "So I deduced that he didn't slip at all, on the way back after drinking, someone attacked him from behind, he received the first heavy blow to the back of the head, he was very injured, he fell to his knees, he didn't have time to turn back, he was hit by a second blow, and the whole person fell directly." ”

Of course, about the second blow, it is only Jiang Yanzhi's speculation, and it is only possible to confirm it by looking at the back of the corpse's head.

But Liu Guard must have killed him, not by accident.

"So there are no scars on his hands, he directly hit the ground on his forehead, and there are scars on his face."

"Don't you think it's strange? It's obviously hit the back of the head, why is there a wound on the forehead and face? ”

"Do you know who he went drinking with that day and night, and what he has been doing lately?"

Liu Dalang's face changed, and he hesitated.

Min Weixiu walked around the room, this should be Liu Erlang's bedroom, she looked around, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Anxi Anxi, this brocade box, I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

An Xi stretched his neck and looked, "Little lady, this is the box in Xu Ji Yinlou, a box of this grade is used to hold bracelets, and a bracelet is about fifty times." Looking at the pattern of the box, it is a new pattern of Xu Ji New Year's Festival. Before, our house prepared a dowry for the third room, Xu Ji took the picture album and came to the door, and the little lady should have seen it at that time. ”

Min Weixiu said "oh", after she was reborn, she was not very obsessed with dressing up, this kind of thing was all remembered by An Xi.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at Liu Dalang, and Liu Dalang said with some embarrassment, "My brother has indeed made a windfall recently. He worked as a guard in the palace, and he had some doors, and many people entrusted him with errands, and he usually took some money home. Not long ago, my aunt was seriously ill, and our two brothers fryed the pot and sold iron, and finally saved her life. ”

He said, pointing to the house, "Seeing that the New Year is coming, but there is no rice in the pot at home, not to mention the fact that after the beginning of spring, my son and my second brother's children are studying." ”

When Liu Dalang said this, he smiled bitterly, "You may say that we don't have many families, and this place is close to Guozijian and can be rented to students who are studying, but this house is not owned by us." This is the family property of the Liu family, and the entire street belongs to Uncle Liu's family, that is, we can only live with the light of the word Liu. ”

"I don't have any skills, I can only barely make ends meet, and I rely on my second brother on weekdays. Suddenly, one day, about the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Ah Di came back with the silver. ”
