Chapter 22: Identifying the Murderer
"Oh? Lei Shaoxia has made a discovery? Lei Shaoqing affirmed the murderer after turning around the room, which naturally made Lord Zhang overjoyed, but after all, this case has to talk about evidence, and it is not enough to rely on his mouth alone, so he had to ask Lei Shaoqing clearly.

Lei Shaoqing didn't answer immediately, but walked out of the room to the courtyard, pointed to the door of this room and said, "You first look at the position of the door of this house." ”
"Where is the door? There's nothing wrong with it, it's like this in the south-facing room. Master Zhang looked at it and didn't find anything unusual.
"What do you see this door is directly against?"
"Right? You mean the kitchen? ”
Meng Shuzi's family only has two side-by-side broken tile houses, the larger one lives with his wife, and the daughter of the smaller one lives by herself. The door to the room where my daughter lives is right across from the kitchen. It is said to be a kitchen, but it is actually an earthen stove with a rotten grass shed on it. Next to the kitchen was the barn, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a while, and half of it had collapsed.
"Lei Shaoxia, this... This one.. Doesn't the official understand too much, what's wrong with the door of this room facing the kitchen? This Lei Shaoqing always spoke half-talking, which made Master Zhang anxious, and until now he didn't know what was wrong with this door open.
"Master Zhang, you also heard it just now, you once shouted when Meng Nier disappeared, and Meng Shuzi rushed over as soon as she heard the sound, but she lost her daughter without seeing anything. You must know that Meng Shuzi was in the kitchen at the time, and when he turned around, he could see the door of his daughter's room, but even so, he still didn't find anything, don't you think it's strange? Lei Shaoqing naturally didn't want to sell Guan Zi anymore, but paced between the kitchen and Meng Nier's boudoir, talking as he walked.
"Could it be that this thief is too fast, and Meng Shuzi didn't have time to see it?"
"Impossible, no matter how fast you are, you can't travel more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, let alone carry a big living person! Even if it's a congenital master, it's not good! ”
"This... This one.. Could it be that Meng Shuzi is lying? Meng Bolt! When Lord Zhang shouted like this, he really frightened Meng Shuzi, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and shouted loudly while kowtowing: "Master, Lord Qingtian, I didn't lie, I really didn't see anything, I heard my daughter shout and it was gone." ”
"Master Zhang, I didn't mean that, and there is no need for Meng Shuzi to lie." How did this Master Zhang become the prefect, why was he so frivolous, and before he finished speaking, he preconceived the suspicion that the victim's father was coming. I know it's impossible with my ass, how can such an honest person who doesn't have a little martial arts foundation be the murderer of a serial disappearance.
In fact, this is really wronged Lord Zhang, although he is the prefect of Bianzhou, although his ability is average, he is still diligent and loves the people. It's just that after such a bad case happened under his rule, he was a little anxious, and his nerves were a little sensitive, so he made such a substandard move. Lei Shaoqing somewhat guessed Master Zhang's embarrassing situation, so he had no reservations and went straight to the point: "I mean, since Meng Shuzi didn't find anything, it means that after the murderer captured Meng Nier, he didn't walk out of the door, but through the window!" ”
"What? Window? How can it be! It's no wonder that Master Zhang was so surprised, it was because Meniel's room did have a window, but that window was so small that it could barely allow a half-old child to pass through, how could an adult get by.
"Yes, it's the window! Meng Shuzi, let me ask you, how tall and heavy is your daughter? ”
"My Nier is less than six feet tall, and her body has never been very good, and she is lighter than my old woman." Less than six feet, that is, about one meter five, Meng Shuzi's wife has just seen it, due to paralysis in bed and malnutrition, it looks like she has about eighty pounds. In this way, Moniel is not much older than the average child, and there should be no problem passing through the window.
"Lei Shaoxia, I understand what you mean, although this Mengier can get by, but how can this murderer get by? It can't be that the murderer is also a small, thin guy. Mr. Zhang raised his own questions.
"Others may not be able to, this murderer should definitely be able to, he will shrink his bones!"
"Bone shrinking skills!?" This time, not only Lord Zhang, but even Lu Ming and others were a little surprised.
"Yes, the bone shrinking technique can be regarded as a high-end technique of disfigurement, which can adjust the position of the bones and internal organs in the body with the help of internal force, and squeeze the space in space, so that the person can be reduced as a whole, and the practice to the highest level can even be reduced to half of the whole person."
"This... That's amazing. "Lord Zhang is not a martial arts person, so naturally he has never heard of such a magical kung fu, so he can only open his mouth and marvel.
At this time, Lei Shaoqing came to the window of the room again, pointed to one of the corners and said, "There is another important reason why I am so sure is here!" ”
The crowd followed the direction he was pointing and found a thread in the corner of the window! Master Zhang carefully took it off and looked at it carefully, and then said to Huang Hao in surprise: "Huang Pavilion Master, you can take that piece of fabric with you yesterday. ”
As soon as he heard Master Zhang say this, Huang Hao naturally understood what he was going to do, and immediately took out the piece of cloth from his arms and handed it over.
"Oops! Sure enough, it was the same! "The color of the thread is very similar to the piece of fabric found on the scene yesterday, and it is almost certain that it fell from the same place.
"And that's not all, look at the edge of this window!" Lei Shaoqing struck while the iron was hot and pointed out the second discovery.
Everyone put their heads out of the window one after another to take a closer look, and there was a very shallow handprint on the outer edge of the window, which was really not easy to find if you didn't look closely.
"Lei Shaoxia, is there anything special about this fingerprint?" After all, there was no fingerprint recognition technology in this era, so fingerprints were not very helpful in identifying the murderer.
"You take a closer look to see if there's some white powder in the place of this handprint, and then you sniff it carefully."
According to Lei Shaoqing's prompt, Master Zhang came to the front and sniffed it carefully, and there was a faint fragrance.
"What is this?"
"This kind of fragrant white powder is a kind of rouge called 'flowing water Yiren', and its biggest feature is that the fragrance is condensed but not dispersed, light but not depressed!"
As soon as Lei Shaoqing's words came out, except for Lord Zhang and Meng Shuzi, everyone else knew who the murderer was, it seems that everyone's judgment at the beginning was correct, and now that there is such direct evidence, this time Wei Sanxiao may not be able to escape.
