Chapter 15: Footprints in the Box (4)

Xiaohu nodded and asked, "Then what did Chen Tianrun say?" ”

According to Chen Tianrun, that night Mr. Zhang invited him to meet in the study, and they talked for a while, but because they did not talk, he said goodbye and left. When he got downstairs, he wondered if he should talk again, but just as he was hesitating, he suddenly noticed the scene at the window on the second floor, and he shouted loudly, and then we arrived. ”

"Did you see it clearly?"

"The moon was very big and bright that night, I could see it very clearly, Xiaofan also saw it, and many people in the house also rushed downstairs after the sound, and many people also witnessed that scene."

Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while, "What are Master Zhang and Chen Tianrun talking about?" ”

"This Chen Tianrun didn't say it, only said that it was difficult to say, and I can guess what it is."

Xiaohu asked again: "Is there any other exit from the study?" Like a back door, a secret passage, or something like that? ”

"No", Shi Yuning shook his head very affirmatively, "At that time, we checked the entire building, only the main door and one entrance, there was no secret passage or the like, all the windows were closed, and it was impossible for the murderer to escape from the window or the roof, at that time, the whole building was surrounded by people, as long as someone came out of the building, whether it was on the ground or on the roof, they would be found, but the murderer disappeared like this, and there was no trace to be found."

The most hateful thing is that this Qiu Ling was only half a year after Master Zhang's death, and she actually recruited Chen Tianrun as her husband, but she just took pity on Xiaofan's child. ”

After speaking, Shi Yuning shook his head and sighed.

"So, I'm very interested, have you ever moved on the spot?"

"After the incident, Liu Touer sealed the building and did not allow anyone to enter."

"Let's go!" , Xiaohu stood up and couldn't wait to speak.

"Tiger Head, it's been half a year since this incident, can you still find the murderer?" , Liu Zhenxiao questioned his face.

"It's up to man!"

After a short time, the five of them followed Zhang Bufan to the courtyard of Zhang's mansion, and when they passed a flower pond, everyone met with a woman dressed in fancy clothes.

As soon as Zhang Bufan saw this person, he turned his head and looked away.

"This is Mrs. Qiu Lingqiu," Shi Yuning whispered.

"This is our Nie Arrest Leader, we want to find the murderer of Master Zhang, and we are here to inspect the scene of the murder!" , Shi Yuning said loudly to Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling bowed down slightly, and said softly: "Nie Zhutou is good, the slave family still has something to do, so I won't accompany it", turned around and left, but the moment she turned around, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes, but it couldn't escape Xiaohu's eyes.

On the door of the first floor of the study, two seals were crossed and pasted on the door, intact, Xiaohu removed the seal, gently pushed the door open, and suddenly a burst of dust fell from above the door.

Everyone entered the building, the first floor is not big, it is a living room, the windows on both sides are closed, and the latch is on the inside, Xiaohu turned around, and did not find anything suspicious, and everyone immediately came upstairs.

The second floor was a mess, the floor was full of clothes and bedding and other items, there was a small pool of blood on the floor near the window, which had long since dried up, and there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table near the window, and in addition to that, there was another interesting thing, which was a wooden human hand-like thing attached to a handle about two feet long.

"What is this?" , Xiaohu picked it up and waved it twice and asked.

"Oh, this is a fly swatter, which is used to hunt flies in the summer," Shi replied.

"This is the wooden box where Qiu Ling was found, right?" , Xiaohu asked, looking at a wooden box in the corner.

"Yes, that's it, Liu Tou'er held her out of this box at that time."

Xiaohu walked closer and looked into the box, there were still a few clothes in the middle of the bottom of the box, and there were two women's footprints on the clothes, although the soil on the footprints had long since dried up, but the footprints were still clearly recognizable.

The two windows of the study are also latched, with no signs of being opened, and there is no attic at the top, and there is no other exit.

"It looks like a thief stealing, and after being discovered by the owner, he killed people in a hurry, and then knocked Qiu Ling, who heard the sound, unconscious and stuffed it into the box", Xiaohu said casually.

"At that time, Liu Touer also thought so", Shi Yuning said, "But from the time I saw the murderer come here, it was only a pillar of incense, the murderer could never run out of the gate, and the downstairs was full of people, if the murderer escaped from the window or the roof, it was impossible not to be discovered, and there were no traces of damage to the window and roof, it was really unbelievable, the murderer disappeared like a ghost."

"The murderer can never be a ghost, and it is impossible for him to disappear for no reason", Xiaohu said, "The murderer was in the house at the time, and the evidence is very obvious, but you didn't notice it", Xiaohu sneered.

"Who is it?" , Zhang Bufan suddenly became excited.

"Don't worry", Xiaohu said with a smile, "Xiaofan, you will do this in a while." ”……

It's a full moon night again.

"Tianrun, today Bufan brought five officials, saying that they came to investigate the case, and half a year has passed, why haven't they let go? Did they find out something? ”

In Qiu Ling and Chen Tianrun's bedroom, Qiu Ling said with a panicked expression.

"Don't be afraid", Chen Tianrun grabbed Qiu Ling's hands tightly, "They have no evidence, as long as you and I are calm, they can't do anything about us, and our good life will still be the same!" ”

"Aren't you afraid? These days, I live a day of worry, even if I will be caught by them one day, I am really scared, Tianrun! ”

"You have to be calm! Trust me, it's okay, our plan is seamless, and no one can do anything about it! ”

At that moment, a wooden box containing clothes in the room moved, startling the two of them.

"Who? Who is hiding inside? Chen Tianrun asked with a nervous expression.

The lid of the box creaked open, and Zhang Bufan stood up from inside.

"It's you little bunny!" , Chen Tianrun screamed and pounced.

"What? Want to kill someone? At this time, a cold voice came, and then Tang Yibin turned over from a harrier on the roof, broke through the window, and stood in front of Zhang Bufan.

Chen Tianrun and Qiu Ling were stupid in place, not knowing what to do, and then there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, the door was kicked open, and Nie Xiaohu, Liu Zhenxiao and others walked in.

"They killed my father! I hear them all! Zhang Bufan pointed to the two and said loudly.

"Officials, what are you doing when you broke into my bedroom late at night?" , Chen Tianrun tried his best to keep his composure.

"What do you want to do? Want to kill someone? Xiaohu said coldly.

"I, we are educating the child, the child is talking nonsense, I am her stepmother, can't I discipline him?" , Qiu Ling cross-examined.

"Discipline children?" , Xiaohu smiled mockingly, and then asked Bufan kindly, "Bufan, what did you hear just now?" ”

"They just said that they killed my father, and they said that you have no evidence, so you can't do anything about them!"

"Children talk nonsense, do you believe it? He said we were murderers, we were murderers? What a joke! Chen Tianrun snorted coldly.

"Hmm!" , Xiaohu nodded, "In that case, then let's go to the study where Master Zhang was killed, and I'll convince you!" ”
