In a room in the east courtyard of the inn,

A man squatted next to a corpse, frowning, "The deceased was stiff, his face was withered, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was wide open, but strangely there was a smile on his face, a sense of relief, and a sense of relief." ”

"See if there's a plum print on her neck." Next to the man, an extremely bewitching and good-looking woman looked at the layout of the room, and said lightly with red lips.

Hearing this, the man gently lifted the collar of the deceased's neck, and saw a plum blossom mark with a human bite mark on it.

"It's this damn Red Lotus Sect again, and the ghost is not gone." The man said viciously.

"The deceased is the head of the pear garden, the tooth marks on her neck are much shallower than those of the previous deceased, and her face is not withered, which proves that she is different from the previous deceased in that she was not killed by sucking up her essence, and the real fatal thing is the knife wound on her chest." The woman in red muttered to herself.

Then he said to the man, "Qinglong, why do you think there is an extra knife wound?" ”

Qinglong thought for a while and said, "Dragon Head, this Red Lotus Sect Gold Medal Killer is a little red, after being injured by you, he disappeared for nearly two months, and his skills have regressed, could it be that he was noticed by this Hua Dan when he absorbed this woman's essence, and was killed by a little red under resistance?" “

"It's not quite like it, a little red is good at swords, I've never heard of him using daggers, short knives." The woman in red, known as the dragon's head, shook her head lightly and continued, "And judging from the wounds of the deceased, the sharp weapon used is a wide and thick short knife, which is generally used in the kitchen. ”

Hearing this, Qinglong pointed to the short knife on the ground and said, "That should be the knife on the ground." ”

As soon as the woman wanted to answer, she heard Liu Zhutou outside the door say respectfully, "Two adults, Li Shusheng asks to see." ”

"Who is Li Shusheng?"

Hearing this, Qinglong looked at the woman curiously, and when he saw that the woman did not react, he said curiously to Liu Zhutou.

"It's the cousin of the innkeeper, and the scholar who was only selected in high school this year, and he said that the deceased was definitely not killed by his cousin, and he also found several suspicious points." After a slight pause, Liu Zhutou continued, "He also helped the villain solve a small case before. ”

"Suspicious?"

Hearing this, Qinglong touched his chin and played with the taste slightly, "What doubts do you have?" ”

"Let him in!" The woman interrupted Qinglongdao, then sat down on the chair and poured herself a cup of tea.

Seeing that the dragon was the first to speak, Qinglong let them in.

Li Luodi was the first to enter, and after roughly observing the surroundings of the room and the corpse of the deceased, he looked at the woman without humility or arrogance, and Qinglong said, "Scholar Li Luodi has seen two adults. ”

Although he was surprised by the beautiful face of the woman in red, Li Luodi only stopped his gaze for a short time and then moved. Because he knew that whether his cousin could come back or not depended on the two people in front of him, and if he had a bad impression of himself, it would be hopeless.

Just now in the lobby, sister-in-law Liu Yan told him the general situation, Yihuadan, who stayed at the inn last night, died in the room, and his own guy Ji Housan testified that he saw Li Ping go to the kitchen to get a knife and go to the guest room at dawn this morning.

Because there were witnesses, and there were Li Ping's fan and a knife lost from the kitchen in the house, Liu Zhutou first asked the officials to escort Li Ping back to prison. But Li Luodi heard a few doubts from this passage, and immediately wanted to go to the person in charge of the case.

Seeing that it was Liu Zhutou, who had a relationship before, he went up to talk and explain. However, Liu Zhutou quietly told him that he did not have the authority to judge the case, and it was the two adults inside who had the final say.

Because this case is not an ordinary case, someone from above has specially taken over it, and the county magistrate can only cooperate. , even Jingzhao Mansion can only assist in handling cases.

"Tell me, what did you find?" After the woman saw that it was Li Luo's younger brother, she asked with great interest, "If you say that you are right, you will be rewarded, but if you say it is wrong, the head of the department will treat you as Li Ping's fellow party!" ”

When Li Luodi was sentenced to be a beggar before, he and Qinglong were also present, and Qinglong praised him at that time.

Seeing the woman in red ask like this, although Li Luodi was a little confused, he still gave Liu Yan and Guo'er, who were worried outside the door, a comforting look, and then arched his hand and said, "I can't talk about finding out, I just think there are a few doubts in this case." ”

"Tell me about it!"

"First, the innkeeper Hou San said that it was not dawn this morning, and when he was going to the toilet, he found that my cousin Li Ping went to the kitchen to get a knife to the deceased's room, but the toilet place was in the corner of the west courtyard, and the kitchen was at the entrance of the backyard, but there was a wall between them, how did he see it?"

"Second, I heard Liu Zhutou say that there was a fan left by my cousin in the deceased's room, but it is already early winter, and it is not suitable for using a fan.

"Third, if the knife on the floor has been left in the room, then the knife is definitely not a murder weapon." As soon as Li Luodi entered the door, he roughly looked at the deceased and found two suspicious points, "Because the front of the knife is extremely clean, only the back of the knife is stained with blood. ”

"Fourth, judging from the stiffness of the deceased, the deceased was dead for at least more than a day, but Hou San said that he saw my cousin enter the deceased's room with a knife this morning. Li Luodi's words were orderly and orderly.

In fact, when he heard Hou Sanzuo as the accuser, and then thought of the strange performance this morning, Li Luodi found that it was wrong, and after carefully recalling it, he found that there were suspicious points, so he thought about looking at the body of the deceased and later verifying some of his conjectures. Therefore, when he learned that the two adults in charge of the case were in the deceased's room, he asked Liu Zhutou, who had a relationship, to help introduce him.

When Li Luodi finished speaking, the room was quiet, and a needle could be heard on the ground.

Li Luodi only relied on the whole thing that Liu Yan said, and after taking a look at the corpse, he came up with several suspicious points, which made Qinglong, Liu Zhutou and others amazed at the same time.

Especially Liu Yan and Guo'er, when Li Luodi raised these questions, he would find that there were many doubts after tasting them, which had a great chance to prove that Li Ping was innocent, and he couldn't help but hope at the moment.

"Not bad! Just one glance at the corpse can give you so much useful information. The woman in red stood up and walked to Li Luodi, leaning very closely, Li Luodi could smell the faint perfume on his body, only to see the woman's red lips lightly opened, spit out a wave of heat on his face, her eyes were as charming as silk, and her tenderness was like water, "Can the little brother tell me, who is the murderer?" “

The woman in red was like this, which instantly made Li Luodi's heart ape, and after a short period of stunned, his face was slightly red, and Li Luodi gently stepped back and said, "Xiaosheng doesn't know!" “

"It is said that scholars are extremely smart, and they know the subtleties, and they really live up to their reputation when they see it today." Seeing this, the woman in red retreated, then walked to the door, and said, "Actually, the head of the department also knows that Li Ping is not the murderer, and the murderer is someone else, so if you can find out the location of the murderer within three days, I will make the decision to release Li Ping, otherwise, the head of the department will judge that he is an accomplice." Then he said to Liu Zhutou, "In the past few days, you will assist Li Shusheng to find the murderer." ”

After speaking, he walked out, Qinglong followed closely behind, and then glanced at Li Luodi, and secretly gave him a positive look.
