"What did you say?" Pei Shu looked at Chen Ying in disbelief, although his voice was very calm, his eyes were getting wider and wider: "Could it be that the girl already knows who the murderer is?" ”

"It's not entirely certain." There was no excitement in Chen Ying's voice, just as quiet as she usually spoke: "However, according to the current signs, this person is the most suspicious. Without further ado, let's go over early, lest the evidence be lost by the murderer. ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Pei Shu's face was a little sluggish.

Is it really that fast?

He doesn't have a clue here, so people just swipe it and find the murderer?

Can this detective be so godly?

He couldn't help but look at Chen Ying on the side.

Even through the light veil hanging on the fence, he could still feel the calm aura on the other party's body.

"If Master Pei has any questions, why don't you talk while walking, okay?" Seeing that Pei Shu hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Ying proposed: "When we walk over, I think the adult's doubts will be solved." ”

If this was said by someone else, Pei Shu would never believe it.

However, the girl in front of her has repeatedly proved her ingenuity with her actions, and he can't believe it.

"Okay, let's talk as we go." Pei Shu followed Chen Ying's suggestion, and immediately whispered to Lang Tingyu: "Call a few good people to get people." ”

Lang Tingyu took the order and left, Chen Ying stretched out his hand to Pei Shu and made a "please" gesture, stepped forward first, and said, "I don't know what the little marquis has to understand?" ”

Pei Shu was stunned for a moment, and then followed, and the deep voice soon sounded beside Chen Ying.

"Cause of death." is a very short two words, but it shows what Pei Shu is most puzzled about this case.

Chen Ying had already guessed that he would ask this question, so he said: "This is indeed a question, and I didn't understand it at first, why would the murderer act without a plan?" Pressed with a pillow, strangled with a belt and a curtain, and finally remembered to kill with a candlestick. This murderer didn't even prepare a murder weapon before killing, and if he couldn't find the candlestick, wouldn't he have missed? ”

"I'm very confused about that, too." Pei Shu nodded in agreement.

At this moment, he obviously didn't notice that Chen Ying hadn't read the autopsy record at all, and her inference about the cause of Mrs. He's death was completely consistent with what Lao Chang recorded.

Since Pei Shu didn't find out, Chen Ying didn't explain more, but gave the answer directly: "This can actually be thought the other way around." The reason why the murderer did not even prepare a weapon was probably because his original purpose was not to kill people. ”

Pei Shu raised his head suddenly, and the corners of his eyes jumped twice unconsciously: "What do you mean...... Improvisation? After speaking, a little contemplation appeared on his face, and he frowned and said, "Since it is a temporary idea, what was the original purpose of his sneaking into the He family?" Could it be theft? ”

Speaking of this, he remembered the lost and found record, and immediately denied this statement: "The murderer should not be for money." However, if it is not for wealth, is it not for robbery? ”

This argument is also very untenable. If it was a robbery, the murderer should have sneaked into He Er's yard, instead of just wandering outside the courtyard wall.

Chen Ying didn't say the answer directly, but asked a question: "That strange shoe print, presumably the little marquis also found it, right?" ”

When Pei Shu heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face: "Yes, those footprints are also very strange, they are everywhere, like flies without heads, and they are unknown." ”

Chen Ying bent her lips under the fence: "At first, like you, I was very puzzled by these shoe prints. ”

At this point, she turned her head and glanced at Pei Shu, and her voice seemed a little leisurely: "Actually, we have all forgotten a very important thing, that is, what kind of result will the death of Old Lady He bring to the He family." ”

She accentuated her tone a little, and said, "By this consequence, I mean the immediate consequence, not the result in some other extended sense. If you look at it from this level, the murderer's motive for killing is not completely incomprehensible. ”

Pei Shu was stunned by what she said.

Chen Ying turned his head to look ahead.

The sky outside the courtyard wall was overcast, and the oncoming wind carried the chill of late autumn, and her voice seemed to be dyed with this chill, slightly cold: "Generally speaking, one person takes the life of another person, and there is always a purpose. In this case, the purpose of the murder is highly consistent with the result of the killing. ”

Pei Shu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his heart moved slightly, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that this murder case is to make a vacancy?" He looked at Chen Ying with burning eyes, and his voice was low and powerful: "As soon as Old Lady He dies, Lord He will have to worry at home, and then Jinan Mansion will experience a position, and it will be vacant." ”

The further he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

This is exactly the consequence of Mrs. He's death, and it directly affects He Juncheng's career. Although he didn't understand why the remnants had resorted to such a subtle method of revenge, he still felt that the inference was very reasonable.

The road to promotion for local petty officials has always been very difficult, and He Juncheng has no great talent, if he hadn't made a contribution in this ink corruption case and had Li Heng's support, he might not have been able to climb up in his life.

There is a saying among the people that "cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents", and for officials, cutting off their official roads is also the same.

"What the little marquis said is very reasonable." Chen Ying was not as excited as Pei Shu, her voice was calm, and she only glanced at him sideways.

Mi Fence hid her eyes, and also separated a trace of appreciation from her eyes.

"It should be said that the answer of the little marquis is already very close, but ......" she paused slightly, and her steps forward seemed very calm: "However, you still think about it one more step." ”

Pei Shu was stunned.

At this moment, he felt like he was groping in a labyrinth, thinking that he had found a way, but he was told that it was not possible.

"One more thought?" He repeated, looked sideways at the clean girl beside him, and raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?" ”

"I mean, the little marquis is thinking about things too complicated." Chen Ying explained: "The direct consequence of this case is not the vacancy experienced by Jinan Prefecture, but the ......"

"Lord He is worried." Pei Shu said quickly, his face was a little unpleasant.

It was an obvious answer, but when he said it, he still felt like he was in a fog, and the messy clues were even tighter.

"The murderer killed Mrs. He just to make Lord He worried? Are you sure? He stared at Chen Ying, his tone was not too heavy, but Chen Ying still heard the meaning of doubt in it.
