When Lang Tingyu heard this, he lowered his voice: "In this case, Lord He and our Hou Ye both feel that it is those remnants who have not been cleared up who are taking revenge. ”

"I know that." Chen Ying said.

Lang Tingyu's face showed a very puzzled look, and said, "My subordinates just think it's a little strange. Since it was the remnant who came for revenge, and he touched Lord He's courtyard again, how could he ......?"

"Why didn't he kill Lord He and his wife to take revenge, but only killed the old lady of the He family. Is this what you're trying to say? Chen Ying said, the curvature of the corners of her lips deepened.

Lang Tingyu nodded immediately: "Exactly, that's what the girl said." Now that he's touched the place, why don't he do it? ”

Chen Ying rolled his eyes away, stared at the messy shoe prints on the ground, and asked the same question as him: "I'm also strange because of this." ”

As she said this, she tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion filled her face.

These strange footprints were only one of the reasons for her confusion, and what puzzled her even more was the murderer's method of killing.

She had never seen such a strange method of killing, like the footprints on the ground, chaotic, random, unorganized, without uniformity and consistency.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ying raised her eyes and said, "Let's look carefully and see where this shoe print is there." ”

Lang Tingyu would not have an opinion, and said "yes", Chen Ying called Feng's mother again, and the three of them continued to circle around the residence of He Juncheng and his wife.

Chen Ying took out the summary of the transcript she had made before from her sleeve, and compared the confession while observing the shoe prints.

Then, the confusion on her face was added to the weight.

"It's really weird." She whispered softly, her eyebrows furrowed more and more, and she always felt that the feeling that this murderer gave her was very "different".

Lang Tingyu couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what strange things the girl found?" ”

In his opinion, this pile of footprints was like a mess, horizontal and oblique, and the direction was very chaotic, and he couldn't see the reason at all.

Chen Ying didn't speak, only half-lowered her eyes, and began to lose her mind as before.

After a few breaths, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, and said with a smile: "That's it, this place is almost checked, let's go out and take a look, there are more and more shoe prints, I think, we are closer to the place where this person sneaked into the mansion." ”

Lang Tingyu nodded and said, "My subordinates also think so." ”

This person who is temporarily assumed to be the murderer, if he is not in the maze of the array, is very unfamiliar with the terrain of the He family, which can be seen from the fact that he always has to find a suitable place to climb over the wall.

In addition, this person doesn't care much about leaving traces and the like, giving people a feeling of indifference. In the world of Mr. Detective, although there are cases of swaggering into other people's homes like this, it is rare.

Several people continued to trace back to the footprints, and found several shoe prints outside the courtyard wall where He Sui lived.

It's just that this person didn't climb over the wall, and I don't know why he left, looking at the direction he went, it was the courtyard of He Juncheng and his wife.

That is to say, the order of action after this person infiltrated He's house was: He Sui's residence (did not climb over the wall to enter the hospital) - He Juncheng's husband and wife's residence (climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard and left a large number of footprints) - He Laoma's residence (climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard and killed people).

Chen Ying's eyebrows furrowed again.

The various acts of this murderer do not conform to common sense at all.

Could it be that he was looking for something?

I couldn't help thinking in my heart, Chen Ying and his party continued to look back, and soon after, they came to the backyard of the He family.

The preface said that the He family is poor, so this house is rented, and the courtyard wall is not too high, Chen Ying has made a slight calculation, the height of the backyard wall is about one meter eight, and according to the shoe prints, the murderer is about one meter seven tall. For a man of this height, the courtyard wall of the He family is not insurmountable, as long as there is a suitable thing to borrow, it is still easy to turn in.

Sure enough, they quickly found a place following the footprints, and there were several sauce jars for pickles under a corner, all of which were placed with the bottom facing the sky, and one of the sauce jars left a very clear shoe print on the top.

On this shoe print, Chen Ying collected a small bamboo silk.

This bamboo wire is longer than the previous ones, about an inch, the two ends are slender, the color is yellow, and there is a faint layer of luster.

"It's like...... It's like a layer of oil. After staring at the bamboo silk for a while, Lang Tingyu muttered softly.

Although the voice was soft, Chen Ying could hear it clearly, and a deep groan crossed his face.

After a while, she said: "General Lang should be right, this is indeed a layer of oil, I guess, this is afraid that this fell from a certain piece of utensils, such as a bamboo basket, vegetable basket and the like." ”

She squinted at the bamboo strip. Because of the large shape, the traces of artificial polishing on it are more obvious than the previous ones, and the bamboo silk cut from raw bamboo will never have such a luster. Besides, there was no bamboo in the He family's house, which could only be brought in by the murderer from outside.

However, if this reasoning is followed, the murderer's actions are very puzzling.

What kind of person would sneak into someone's house and carry a huge bamboo artifact with them?

Judging from the silk picked up at the scene, this thing is definitely not mini-shaped, otherwise it would not fall like a lot of bamboo silk.

"The subordinates turned out from here and waited outside, and Miss Chen San could come around from the courtyard gate." Lang Tingyu's voice suddenly sounded, making Chen Ying come back to his senses from his thoughts.

She turned her eyes to look and saw that General Lang was standing on the edge of the sauce jar, and his face was eager to try.

Chen Ying couldn't help but smile, and immediately saluted: "Then there is General Lao Lang." ”

"It's a trivial matter, and it's wrapped up in subordinates." Lang Tingyu slapped his chest loudly, and immediately stepped on the pickle jar, stretched out his arm to hold down the wall, jumped and jumped, and suddenly the person was already outside the wall, and his movements were so neat that Chen Ying almost didn't react.

"My subordinates are waiting for Miss Chen San here." Lang Tingyu's loud voice came from outside the wall.

Before Chen Ying could reply, Feng's mother rushed ahead and answered, "Got it", and bowed to Chen Ying again, and said cautiously: "The girl forgives her sins, the slave and maid thought that she couldn't let the girl get up here screaming, so she spoke in her head." ”

Chen Ying knew that she was also kind, and said with a smile: "Mother is thoughtful." ”

Seeing that Chen Ying was not angry, Feng's mother finally relieved her heart and patted her chest: "It's good that the girl doesn't blame." Fu asked softly, "Is the girl going out now?" ”
