Chapter 34 This is called applying what you have learned
"As we all know, monsters can eat people, if it's really a monster, then why don't goblins eat people? On the contrary, will it be entangled in a tripod? ”
Xu Changshou's words made Zhang Xianling and Master Hu, who were sitting there, suddenly fall into deep thought.
Oh, yes! Fairies don't eat human flesh, what do you want to do?
The two looked dazed and couldn't find the reason.
"Unless it's not a monster at all!" Xu Changshou guessed.
"Adults may wish to think so, goblins don't eat people, but for a sacrificial ritual vessel, what's the picture? Collect or sell for a profit? It's clear that if I were a goblin, I wouldn't give up delicious human flesh for a ritual that doesn't make any real sense! ”
Xu Changshou's explanation made Zhang Xianling's idea of always insisting that it was a monster suddenly faltering.
"Since it wasn't done by a monster, then who would dare to steal my Great Xia Longding? There has to be a saying! Zhang Huaili said in a deep voice.
"It's not enough to rely on theoretical knowledge, you have to practice!" Xu Changshou knows this.
"Have you sent someone to investigate the scene of the crime?" Xu Changshou asked.
Zhang Xianling groaned and said, "Naturally, it is fruitless to find it, otherwise why would this official put out a reward?" ”
"My lord, please give me the case file, that is, the confession of the official who lost the treasure, and in addition, I need a map of the crime scene!"
Xu Changshou seems to have found an opportunity to solve the case, but he can only guess, he has no clues in his hand now, and he doesn't know anything.
The only possibility is the case file, which is a document that records the course of the case in ancient times, similar to a file, and as for the map, he is only to verify a certain conjecture, a conjecture that is enough to overturn what the monster did.
"Xu Changshou, what do you want to do with these?" Zhang Huaili said in a deep voice.
Xu Changshou smiled: "Solve the case!" Don't adults want to know why it wasn't the monster's doing? And I will prove it to the adults. ”
Listening to the words of the dart master in front of him, Zhang Huaili was half convinced, if you say that you can solve the case, you can be as fast as the county yali!
Zhang Huaili ordered someone to get the case file and a dilapidated map, and became a melon-eating crowd, just to see what opportunities he Xu Changshou and a martial artist could find.
Looking at the paperwork in the hands of the officials and the dilapidated map, Xu Changshou felt a lot of pressure.
Lao Tzu is a liberal arts student! belongs to the novice Xiaobai, and solving the case requires strong logical thinking, which belongs to the category of science, and the amount is ...... Big head.
Xu Changshou immediately took the case file in the hand of the official and began to read:
"On the seventeenth day of the winter month, the sudden demon fog, the temperature plummeted, the official who accompanied the escort ritual was unconscious after being poisoned, and when he woke up, it was the second day, when it rained heavily, the official road collapsed, the river swelled, the carriage that escorted the ritual fell into the river, and the official servant went down the river, trying to get the dragon ding, but he found nothing, all said that the monster released the demon poison, and stole the dragon ding after confusing everyone."
Looking at the case file, there seems to be no problem except that the weather is abnormal.
"The weather is abnormal, if it is done by a monster, it is possible, after all, the goblin steals the dragon tripod after harming people, and has the ability to call the wind and rain."
"The dragon tripod was lost on the official road, so it means that the place where the crime occurred was in the wilderness! It's really hard not to suspect that it's a monster. Xu Changshou whispered.
"The world may not talk about science, but there must be science!" Xu Changshou knows that his identity as a liberal arts bully needs to be transformed.
It takes a certain amount of logic to solve a case, especially in this type of lost case.
Xu Changshou urged his brain cells and began to think explosively.
The first thing that comes to mind is the monster, but everyone in the government actually survived, which is a big shortcoming, and the lack of clues does not need to be considered for the time being.
The second is the scene of the crime, the official road, the river, and the dense fog shrouded in it.
Now that winter is about to begin, thick fog seems commonplace.
Xu Changshou turned to the map.
As far as the topography is concerned, there is nothing special, and the official road where the dragon tripod was lost is located halfway up the mountain, near a river at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the rugged terrain on the map, for a while, Xu Changshou seemed to realize something, relying on the half-understanding of his previous life, his thoughts suddenly surfaced.
Dense fog in the mountains, unconscious officials, pouring rain? The collapse of the official road and the disappearance of the dragon tripod all seemed to point to a common thought: the monster did it.
But this is not the case, Xu Changshou's perennial closed-loop cranial nerves were dredged all of a sudden.
"My lord, I have a solution!" Xu Changshou immediately bowed to Zhang Huaili.
"What's the explanation?" Zhang Huaili said in a deep voice.
Xu Changshou turned to explain, became a storyteller, and told all his conjectures.
"The loss of Long Ding is definitely not the work of the monster!"
"How to explain it?" Zhang Xianling asked.
"On the seventeenth day of the winter month, the dragon tripod was lost, and a thick fog broke out in the mountains, I would like to ask your lordship, when did the official who escorted the dragon tripod arrive at the scene of the crime that day?"
Xu Changshou was anti-guest and asked Zhang Huaili rhetorically.
Master Hu spoke in Zhang Huaili's ear, and then saw Zhang Huaili say affirmatively:
"The official set off the day and night before yesterday, and it was only three minutes (six or seven o'clock in the morning) when he arrived at the lost official road, what does this have to do with the loss of Longding?"
Xu Changshou smiled slightly: "At three o'clock, a dense fog broke out in the mountains, and in winter, there was no wind in the mountains, the temperature plummeted, the substances in the air were suspended, and this place was remote, and all kinds of hallucinogenic gases were scattered after the growth of poisonous weeds, which was what adults called 'demon poison', causing the officials to fall unconscious." ”
Zhang Huaili felt that he had discovered a new world, so he looked at Xu Changshou and asked, "This is the reason why the official is unconscious?" ”
Xu Changshou nodded affirmatively, thoughtful in his heart, "This is called inversion temperature, you ancient people!" ”
Zhang Xianling, who only read the books of sages, suddenly became illiterate.
"In addition, the official was unconscious, and it was pouring heavy rain that night that day, which meant that the soil of the official road was relaxed, and the unguarded Longding fell into the river with the carriage, and the next day the official woke up, and naturally he couldn't find it." Xu Changshou added.
"Why is this?" Zhang Huaili looked dazed.
Student Zhang, it's time to make up for the class!
"The grass people once had the privilege of visiting a teacher, who was proficient in astronomy and geography, and knew some side techniques."
Xu Changshou suddenly felt a little inexplicable...... Stalwart? Zhang Huaili looked at the young man with a confused expression.
After listening to this adult's words, Xu Changshou gradually had a half-understanding of his conjecture, so he said frankly:
"Isn't your lord trying to find Longding? The grass people know where! ”
Xu Changshou immediately looked at Zhang Huaili, who was in a hurry on the side.
Zhang Huaili grabbed the lifebuoy like a drowning man and reined in the precipice.
Immediately asked Xu Changshou: "Where is the treasure now?" ”
Xu Changshou gestured and pointed to the map on the table.
"Right here!"
"In the river?"
Zhang Huaili's affirmative eyes turned unreliable.
"The joke is extreme, the official sent someone to cruise here for a long time, how can there be a dragon tripod? Hugh is going to talk nonsense? ”
"Where did you get it?" Xu Changshou asked.
"Where there is no place in the earth, there is nothing to be found in the rivers that flow downward!" Zhang Huaili affirmed.
"Why don't you look for the upper class?" Xu Changshou asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it shameful to ask for the high? Longding more than 100 catties can go upstream? ”
After the identification, this classmate Zhang is not very smart Yazi.
Xu Changshou is more confident:
"The heavy rain poured that day and night, the soil of the official road was relaxed and collapsed, and the dragon tripod fell into the river with the carriage, and the river is loose and floating sand, that the dragon tripod has more than 800 catties, and it will inevitably sink into the river sand, but the river is turbulent, and it will be counterattacked, and the dragon and the dragon are drowned in the floating sand, and the river goes upstream. If it is fished in situ, there is absolutely none, and it goes downstream, how can the 800-pound Longding be washed away? ”
Forehead...... Stone beasts in the river? It seems that Chinese textbooks are still useful! It's called applying what you've learned!
"Your Excellency may wish to ask for the upper class, where the dragon is located, it must be here?" Xu Changshou is confident.
Hearing this, Zhang Huaili couldn't believe it, so he called the officials and organized the miscellaneous servants to go to the Ding.
Within half a day, the ritual treasure was really fished out in the upper reaches of the river. For Xu Changshou's suggestion, Zhang Xianling was very happy.
In the main hall, in front of the table, Zhang Huaili held a blue and white porcelain tea cup, the lid of the cup knocked on the rim of the cup, drinking hot tea, and Master Hu was waiting beside him.
glanced at the handsome son, and said: "In the ten years since this official took office, I have never seen someone like you solve a case!" ”
"The adults have praised it falsely, the grass people are just the hatches of the class, how can there be an adult's far-sightedness?"
Hey, as soon as he hit the soul, Zhang Huaili grinned, and suddenly indulged in Xu Changshou's sycophancy.
"Now that the treasure has been recovered, this official will definitely not break his word...... Touts! ”
After saying that, Zhang Xian ordered and called out to Master Hu.
I saw Master Hu take out a silver ingot from his pocket and hand it to Xu Changshou.
The young man took the silver and thanked him:
"Xu Changshou thanked my lord!"
After completing the bounty and leaving the county office, in a trance, Xu Changshou vaguely felt the small tower in his head tremble slightly.
He touched his forehead and looked out of Kyoto, as if something was attracting him, to be precise, the small tower in his head was restless.
……
At night, the lights were smoky, and in a secluded inn, there were a few screams, and the screams stopped abruptly.
In the room with dim candles, a man who looked extremely white walked out, wearing a robe embroidered with plum blossoms, with red lips and white teeth, a pair of antlers on his head, and a folding fan in his hand, all yin and feminine.
The man stretched out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "It's still not as tender as a teenager, how can I say that I am also a blood relative of the royal family, and I have to eat this old bacon!" ”
Suddenly, a woman's laughter was heard, "Lu Ling, don't forget about business!" Your Majesty didn't call us here to enjoy! ”
I saw that in the depths of the darkness, several blue-green vines grew, and thorns and blood-colored red flowers grew on the vines, exuding a faint fragrance.
A graceful woman in a green robe appeared in the room sitting on a vine and through a hazy red curtain.
"These mortals, pounded into meat puree, made into my flower soil is more suitable!" The woman grinned, a big smile on her face.
"If it weren't for His Majesty's explanation, what would be the turn of my son to eat these things? Have pity on my handsome face! "The feminine man has no good air.
"Don't forget, mortal celestial sacrifice! Your Majesty's Confession! The woman stroked her silky hair.
In the corner of the room, a middle-aged man dressed in a single shirt, his lips trembled violently, looking at the feminine man and the woman trembling.
In the blink of an eye, I saw the woman and the feminine man turn their heads, and two pairs of evil eyes suddenly peeped at him, and the man in single clothes suddenly couldn't cry.
"Don't come here! Don't come here...... ah! ”
Suddenly, there was a scream in the room.
The man in the single coat was suddenly drowned in a pool of blood, the lights went out, and the smell of blood filled the air.
