After Tang Mingyi finished speaking, Hua Ji and Wen Liang glanced at each other, then coughed lightly, and only said: "What Tang Gongzi thinks is indeed reasonable, and there is indeed such a possibility, but it is only one of the possibilities, you can come and see ......."

Hua Ji tried his best to take care of Tang Mingyi's emotions, and did not dare to speak with an extra tone, after all, this highness has moved from the level of shamelessness to the level of taking the initiative to think and summarize, strictly speaking, he is now a real and unknown master, and it is not good to discourage the interest of students.

Tang Mingyi was indeed humble, and squatted next to the corpse with Hua Ji.

However, Hua Ji's guidance was nothing more than whether the surrounding environment was different, how the corpse had struggled with the scars, how it was to kill with one blow, and how to make several judgments from the movements, the depth of the footprints left in the dirt, etc.

"However, based on these alone, although it can be basically seen that this person was attacked without taking precautions in advance, but the other party took advantage of the night, and it may not be impossible to sneak attack in two places, and you can see that the two pairs of footprints in the nearest place have obviously become larger, which is the evidence that this person has run, and the footprints are ......."

Hua Ji was originally happy, but suddenly stopped, and then simply squatted lower to look.

Wen Liang noticed that his tone was different, so he opened his mouth and asked, "How are the footprints?" ”

Hua Ji didn't answer, but he still felt that he couldn't see clearly, but simply knelt down and carefully inspected the dirt floor.

In addition to the passage connecting the main building and the courtyard gate, and the railings on both sides, the rest is flat mud soil, scattered planting some trees and flowers, among which there are many gravel paved vertical and horizontal paths, and there are some stone tables and stone chairs, bamboo pavilions and small platforms to add interest.

It is precisely for this reason that there are no lights here, and it is particularly dim.

Seeing Hua Ji lying on the ground, Wen Liang was definitely unwilling to act like this, and Tang Mingyi felt that he couldn't help, so both of them stood quietly aside, just waiting for Hua Ji to say a result.

However, before Hua Ji could speak, there was a sound of footsteps in the Xinghuatai Tower, and it was several secret guards and a Tang Mingyi guard who came in from the corner gate of the north backyard, passed through the building, and came to the side in a blink of an eye.

A few people bowed to their own masters or leaders, and Wen Liang took the first step and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you over there?" ”

"Mr. Palindrome." The secret guard called Wen Liang and the others in front of outsiders, and he was the same as the eldest lady to call others, and they all used "Mr. Gongzi" and the like, "We just saw someone come out from here and go all the way to the north, originally just a little careful, but just now someone said that there was a situation here, so we rushed over to support." ”

These people were originally guarding the unknown gambling house in the north, so they naturally had to take care of this side, but because Tang Mingyi was by their side, when the secret guard returned, they deliberately concealed their names and only talked about things.

"Bring a lighted one." Before Wenliang could speak, Hua Ji would explain first.

Hearing this, the dark guard moved naturally, and when someone went to fetch the candle, Wen Liang asked, "Only one person left from this side?" ”

"Exactly." The secret guard cautiously went back and forth, "The man was thin, not tall, about five feet short, he didn't carry anything in his hand, he didn't have a flustered look, and he walked calmly. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Lianghuaji and even Tang Mingyi followed, and almost asked in unison: "Woman? ”

The secret guard who replied did not shake his head or nod his head, but only glanced at the other secret guard next to him, and the latter replied: "It may be a woman, but the first thing she wears is not thin, and she completely avoids facing us all the way, and her walking posture is no different from that of a man, so it is not easy to be sure." ”

Wen Liang frowned and said, "Can you send someone to follow?" ”

The dark guard nodded hurriedly: "Keep up, there will be news later." ”

"That person's kung fu is not weak, he may not be under me, you divide two people to go over to answer, and send another person to inform the government Liu Taishou, and at the same time call people over to take care of this side, and the rest of the place doesn't have to be watched for the time being."

After Wen Liang finished giving the order, even Tang Mingyi said to his own guards: "You also act together, and Mr. Wen will dispatch and command." ”

At the same time as receiving the order here, the candlestick was also taken, and Hua Ji commanded the secret guard to carry the candlestick, and followed him to look at the land around the corpse inch by inch.

Wen Liang didn't take a leisurely time, and told the secret guards where there were many corpses in this Xinghuatai, what their genders were, and how they died, where the three of them were now, and so on.

After Wen Liang finished speaking, the secret guards dispersed, and those who received the orders acted according to the order, and those who did not receive the order went to the building to do a more detailed inspection.

When everyone dispersed, Hua Ji finally spoke: "Come and see." ”

Everyone present moved in unison, and Hua Ji pointed to several of them and continued: "These footprints, not to mention the old ones, just the new ones, whether they are the size, depth, or texture, they are all the same, and even the weight of the front and back feet is almost the same. It must have come from one person, and that is no different from the deceased. ”

In fact, including Hua Ji Wenliang, everyone didn't take the footprints as a thing, they just felt that the footprints here were messy, and there would definitely be evidence left, just be careful not to destroy them, and wait for the people from the Inspection Department to come and see, so they didn't do any inspection.

I don't blame them, in the matter of detectives, Hua Ji Wenliang only has some relevant knowledge and experience, which is also derived from the daily tasks of the secret guard, and he has not studied relatively completely, and can only be used to deal with it in a hurry, which is far inferior to Jin Xuan and other county lieutenants, patrols, and the like.

Now that Hua Ji has discovered this, there is an obvious problem.

"What about the murderer's footprints?" Wen Liang hurriedly asked.

"Let's look at it again." Hua Ji simply took the candlestick himself and moved it to the gravel path on the other side, "There are some scattered dirt here. Probably a normal passing by the ...... left on it"

Wen Liang took over: "Or maybe you jumped and fell on it?" ”

Hua Ji nodded, and stood up: "If this person is good at stepping on stones from the stone road and jumping all the way, he won't be able to leave any footprints." ”

The candlestick was not too far away in the courtyard, and Wen Liang reluctantly took a look at the surrounding situation in the dim light, but also agreed with what Hua Ji said: "It can indeed be done." ”

Hua Ji breathed a long sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, things are clearer." It just takes us to think about one question. ”

When Hua Ji said this, he wanted to tease Tang Mingyi again, but suddenly heard the third floor of the main building of Xinghuatai open to a window on this side, and heard a secret guard shouting a little nervously and anxiously: "Someone left something here!" ”
