"He said that I must find out the money that my father had collected, redeem the land and the house, and use the remaining money to pay for my sister's dowry and my school fees. For this reason, he looked at the ancient pagoda every day and meditated.

"My brother is an archer. One day, early in the morning, he ran to the foot of the ancient tower, tied a long string to the end of the arrow, drew his bow and shot it at the top of the tower. If the arrow can reach that high and pass through the stone railing at the top of the tower, then the string will pass through the parapet, and then as the arrow falls, one end of the rope will be tied to a thick rope that can bear the weight of a person, and then the other end of the thick rope will be pulled, so that a long thick rope will pass through the stone railing and become two weights. He was going to drag the rope to the top of the tower.

However, this naïve idea did not come true, and on the first night of his death, he told me that he had come up with a new method, and that this time it would work, and he was very proud. That night, he quietly went out of his house and never returned, but the next morning, his body was found in the river. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Xiuxiu couldn't help the sadness in her heart and covered her face.

"So, Brother Ling died that night because he tried a new method?"

"He was killed." Xia Xiuxiu hurriedly corrected, "That shot is the shot that killed my brother." ”

"And who is he?......"

"Yang Hanxuan!" Xia Xiuxiu's voice trembled with sadness and anger.

"Huh? It's Yang Hanxuan...... Do you think it's him?"

"I'm sure it must be him. Don't look at him as a modest gentleman on the surface, with a belly full of bad water. ”

"Even so, what was his motive for killing?...... Why did Yang Hanxuan kill Brother Ling?"

"I don't know. And I don't know what he used to kill my brother. Because there were no bullet holes in his body. However, I intuitively felt that he was the murderer, and there was no one else. It's a pity that no evidence of his murder has been found so far. ”

"I know how you feel. However, young lady, you must know that the security guards will not believe it based on your intuition alone, and the security guards will not accept the case without solid evidence.

Not only that, if you don't get it right, Yang Hanxuan will bite back, saying that you slander and slander his reputation. ”

"Then I have to let him accuse, what can I do? I'm just telling my guess, but I'm convinced that I'm right. Xia Xiuxiu said decisively.

After sitting for a while, Lang Xiaobai and Xiao Bin said goodbye to their masters and returned to Peiqiao Village through the green shade road.

Four days later, Lang Xiaobai went to visit Yang Hanxuan.

"I am Xiao Bin's colleague, and I was sent by the director of Dongzhou Security to assist in the investigation of this case. In the past few days, after the two of us have been openly and covertly visited, we have basically reached an eyebrow, so we must first report the situation to the director. Today we plan to go back to Dongzhou, Xiao Bin is very busy, so I specially asked you to say goodbye. ”

"Well, that's what happened. So, the results of the survey...... Was it murdered?" Yang Hanxuan asked with his eyes fixed on Lang Xiaobai's face.

"No, we've already investigated and there is no suspicion of being killed at all. The boy accidentally fell from a tree and died. ”

"But the rumors are ......"

"Rumors can't be found, and the broken branch is the best proof of this."

"So, what does Miss Xia Xiuxiu think about this?"

She was very sad and said that the branch was broken, and she had to resign herself to fate. However, looking at the situation, she still seems to be depressed. ”

"It's no wonder that she only has such a brother."

"It's pathetic." Lang Xiaobai sincerely agreed. At the same time, looking around the house, when he saw the shotgun on the wall, he praised it in a very appreciative tone: "Ah, this shotgun is so beautiful!" ”

"It's not a shotgun, it's a military rifle, it's used to fight big beasts like bears and deer."

"Oh, it's a new twin-shot rifle, and I love hunting...... However, I just like it, my three-legged cat kung fu is too far behind. However, when I saw such a good gun, my hands couldn't help but itch. ”

"Oh, your Excellency loves to hunt too?...... We're like-minded. ”

"By the way, according to the villagers, you are a famous sharpshooter...... How about opening my eyes?"

Lang Xiaobai took the initiative to remove the rifle from the wall and set up the gun for an aiming posture.

"Hey, be careful, the bullets are loaded!"

"You don't usually need it, but you also load the bullets?"

"Yes, that's just a scare to scare those who go to the woods to poach."

"However, if you miss and kill someone, won't it be a big trouble?"

"Just aim for the leg, at most cripple him."

"Is it out of this hole?"

"No, poachers don't get that close."

"Well, that's true."

Lang Xiaobai looked out the window and saw the ancient tower towering in the jungle.

"Oh! You can see the ancient tower through the gap in this tree, it's 250 meters away, right?"

"No, it's farther away."

"No, is it that far? There is a yellow flower in the crack in the stone at the top of the tower. Lang Xiaobai raised his gun to aim as if he were playful, and then pulled the trigger. The little flower suddenly vanished. Alas, I beg your pardon for my presumptuousness, the gunfire just now may have frightened the servants of your house. ”

Yang Hanxuan's face was full of bitterness and he was speechless.

"However, the servants lived far away. If they shoot here at night or early in the morning, they may not notice. ”

Lang Xiaobai looked at Yang Hanxuan with sharp eyes. Then he added: "According to the people in the village and Miss Xia Xiuxiu, gunshots were heard at about 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the boy's accident."

"Hey...... You mean, that shot had something to do with his death, didn't you?" Yang Hanxuan seemed to be a little angry and said.

"Yes."

"But he fell from a tree."

"No, I don't know who broke the branch or rope he caught."

"What?" Yang Hanxuan's face turned red with excitement. "So, you're saying that I broke the branch or the rope with my gun? Sling the bull...... Is there any evidence?"

"Yes!" Lang Xiaobai replied in a very affirmative tone.

"What?"

The two stared at each other for a while, and then Lang Xiaobai continued: "The boy climbed the ancient tower, but when he climbed down the rope, the rope suddenly broke. No, more precisely, someone shot the rope with a gun. And the man who shot ...... That's you!" Lang Xiaobai used his thick index finger to point vigorously at Yang Hanxuan's nose.

"That's just nonsense...... He, why did he climb to the ancient tower?" Yang Hanxuan's face was flushed, and he glared at Lang Xiaobai viciously.
