Everyone's eyes widened and they fell silent.

Qianhu, who had been silent, entered the door and saluted the people in the house: "Two adults, the subordinates are puzzled. ”

Jiang Xie's eyes lit up: "Do you have any questions?" ”

Qianhu, who was armed with a knife, said: "Even if this old man was killed, but the door was indeed kicked in, no one has entered before this, and the old man has never come out, how did the murderer get in and how did he come out?" ”

"This is a good explanation, and Xiang Xiu brought the deadbolt crosswood."

Ai Xiu took the bolt and handed it over, and then stood aside.

Jiang Xie took the two pieces of broken horizontal wood and put them together, and then said: "Everyone, please look at the fracture lines on this horizontal wood, just imagine, if someone really hits the door and kicks the door to crack this horizontal log, then the crease should be right on this side of the door, but now the broken crease is facing inward." ”

"This shows that in order to create the effect of the secret room, the murderer broke the door bolt in advance and placed it on the door bolt, so that when someone found that the person in the house kicked the door abnormally, it would naturally break."

"As for kicking the door, I guess the door couldn't be opened at the time, right?"

The loud man nodded again and again: "Yes, I pushed it at the time, I thought I would step back and kick it again, but I kicked it away very easily, and I almost broke my foot. ”

Jiang Xie walked to the door in the eyes of everyone, and the people gathered there turned to the side, only to see him pick up a small wooden strip from the threshold on the ground.

"That's why the door can't be opened, the murderer sandwiched this small wooden strip in the crack of the door, and then put the broken horizontal log on the deadbolt, so that if you push it outward, you will mistakenly think that there is a bolt inside."

Wang Weiqing took the small wooden strip, closed the door as Jiang Xie said, clamped the wooden strip and put it on the horizontal bolt, and the people in the aisle outside cooperated with him to push it outside, and sure enough, the door could not be opened.

"But even so, what happened when I saw the figure sitting in the house, I arranged the room for the two adults at that time, and when I returned, I actually saw the old man in the house sitting and drinking tea, how can I explain this?" Wang Weiqing questioned.

"It's still an illusion here."

Jiang Xie walked back into the house, set out the candlestick on the table, and picked up the brush that had fallen on the ground, and there were traces of fire on the barrel of the brush.

He summoned Xiang Xiu to sit in the place where the deceased was sitting: "The reason why this illusion is made is to confuse us with the time of death, to make us think that the person is still alive before kicking the door." ”

"But by then, the man would have died."

Pretending to be a deceased, he placed the pen on the bottom of his chin and propped it up between the table and his body, thus creating a supporting sitting position.

"As you can see, it's just a trick."

Everyone looked at the questions that were solved one by one, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts.

"That'...... Is the murderer really among us? Liu Mingming lay in Pang Hei's arms and asked timidly.

Huo Yijun said firmly: "That's right."

Wang Weiqing said: "That...... Among these people present, there are Master Jiang and Master Huo, otherwise how about leaving the two of them with full authority to find out the truth for us? ”

"We do need someone to find out the truth, but who can guarantee that the killers are not the two of them?" The scholar suddenly spoke.

Jiang Xie snorted coldly: "Indeed, no one among the people present can escape suspicion, but at least our suspicion is the smallest, Qingzheng Division is the most legal place in the entire Daye, and the Huo family disdains to kill such an unknown person, what do you think?" ”

Wang Weiqing proposed: "The adults are right, let's listen to the two adults for the time being, if you don't worry, we can also keep an eye on them." ”

"Makes sense."

The crowd nodded.

The scholar asked, "What should we do now?" How to find the murderer? ”

"There's no hurry."

Huo Yijun walked towards the door from the house: "Everyone go to the lobby, let's have a good chat." ”
