These stone lofts are not very high, they are built by hand. Earlier, it was used to feed pigeons, but it has long been abandoned, and even the small holes in the stone wall where pigeons enter and exit have been filled with cement. Even the pigeon can't get in if it wants to.

However, one part of the roof of the house had partially collapsed, and the parapet wall was in some places broken and collapsed, and the pigeon loft took on a desolate appearance, which was particularly dark and damp.

A few people walked in together. I saw the sunlight slanting through the collapsed roof, shining into the house and hitting the ground. Due to the leakage of rainwater from the broken roof, the ground of the loft was so damp that when you stepped on it, it was full of mud, and in some places it was already potholed and waterlogged......

The ground of the pigeon loft has long been piled up with all kinds of dilapidated tools, and there are also large and small old boxes used by Mr. Xie Yunqing when he was alive.

The prosecutor suddenly asked, "Xiao Bin, have you ever been to the pigeon loft?"

Xiao Bin replied, "Yes, sir." However, some time before going in to investigate, I had instructed Ah Cai to report the matter to the security guards, and asked him to call the medical examiner with him. It didn't take long for local security guards to rush over with forensic doctors. They helped me transport Mr. Jiang Kai's body back and put him in the house. While they were busy with their work, I was left alone on the island. During this time, I searched the loft from the roof to the ground, and also searched the basement, but I still found no trace of the murderer. ”

"There's no trace of the murderer, but there must have been some clues or information, right?"

"Yes. I found a clue that the murderer's tool was the pistol, which was the seven-shot pistol that was thrown in a puddle. In order not to destroy the crime scene, I did not move the position of the gun to facilitate the investigation and evidence collection work of the security. ”

Everyone looked into the puddle and saw a Browning pistol lying there.

"When I found the pistol, I searched further, and one by one I pushed through the worn-out empty boxes, and happened to find a movable wooden lid on the ground. I carefully lifted the lid and found a basement underneath, which turned out to be the basement exit. I saw a wooden ladder connected up and down, and when I went down to look at it, I didn't find anything.

"Look, the basement is here!"

Xiao Bin walked in the front and turned on the flashlight to guide the way. He slowly descended the ladder to the basement, and the others also climbed down carefully, with Lang Xiaobai following behind.

They saw that the basement of the loft was about the same size as the one above, and the whole structure was a small cube. Lang Xiaobai glanced at this small basement from left to right, and estimated in his heart that its length was about 5 meters, and his visual inspection was extremely accurate.

The rainwater that had been leaking through the roof to the ground was still leaking into the basement, and it had soaked the ground into a 15-centimeter-high puddle full of mud.

From the basement, there are wires and light switches on the walls, so it is clear that there were once electric lights, but there are no bulbs installed in the area.

And the closed and unventilated basement leads to a rather dirty indoor air. Due to the soaking of rainwater, the smell of dampness and the dark and moldy smell were simply unbearable and almost suffocated.

Therefore, the investigator turned his head to Xiao Bin and asked, "Judging from this situation, the murderer should not be so stupid and hiding here!"

"You're right, but you don't."

"Is there room for murderers to hide anywhere else here?"

"Probably not. I've scouted the place with local security, searched everywhere, and confirmed that there's nowhere else to hide. Besides, if a person stays indoors in this kind of air condition, he will definitely suffocate to death. What's more, to stay for that long time. ”

"However, this basement was originally in and out of the basement. So, there must have been people who have been in and out of here. ”

"Yes, it's also unbelievable. So, security and I dug into the place very carefully, and finally found that there was a tube that ventilated from above. Look, this way! It leads all the way up to the house above ground, and it can go up again. It goes up to the top of the loft, so it doesn't matter if the tide is low or high. In any case, the river will not overflow it, and the pipe will stand above the water level, ensuring good ventilation. In a moment, we'll be able to get a clear look outside. It's just that this ventilation pipe has already been blocked with cement, and no one will be able to guard it in the basement for a long time. Xiao Bin said.

"The situation is so bad, Mr. Jiang Kai was inexplicably shot with a pistol, and the place where the murderer was hiding could only be in the pigeon loft and not anywhere else. But there was no one in the loft, not even any clues or evidence that the killer had been here or fled. Could it be that the murderer is too cunning? Perhaps...... How did all this happen?" The investigator was puzzled.

"What do you think will happen? Xiao Bin, please tell us your views. The prosecutor asked.

"I don't have the slightest opinion! I can't understand the whole thing, let alone have any opinions. I, Ah Cai and Ah Qiao all witnessed the murder of Mr. Jiang Kai, right in front of the pigeon loft; And the murder weapon was also found here, but unfortunately there is no trace of the murderer, and I can't find out how the murderer escaped. It's just so puzzling, it's like a big mystery!"

"And that's not all, can anyone tell me who the murderer is? Who can say what the murderer's motive was for killing Mr. Jiang Kai? I don't know anything, is it for revenge, for money, or if the pistol accidentally touched the trigger? Who knows these things? I think only the murderer himself understands!" Xiao Bin's tone was a little complaining.

"In short, the murderer must have been hiding somewhere. Xiao Bin, we are grateful for your enthusiastic help, the information you provided is important, thank you! We need to survey the site again. As you said, if you look at it one more time, you may find some new clues. Please go back with Mr. Lang Xiaobai for a little rest!" The investigator said.

So, Xiao Bin was in front and Lang Xiaobai was behind, climbed up the wooden ladder in turn, and walked to the door of the pigeon loft together, looking around at the scenery outside the house.

Outside the loft the sky is clear, the sun is soft, and the sky is blue. The water of the river also glows with a silver light, dazzling people's eyes. At this time, it is the beginning of summer, and the loft is surrounded by grass and green carpets, which is full of life. But who would have thought that the peaceful island had experienced a horrific murder? The calmer the island, the deeper the intricacies of the case.
