At this time, Peng Liang, who was in charge of inspecting the environment in the house, came over with a teacup, lifted the lid of the cup, and there was a small object standing inside.

Di Ying poured it into the palm of his hand.

It was a thumb, a fingernail-sized, bronze head.

It's not a human head, it's a cat-like tiger.

It's not delicately made, it's almost just a rough shape, so it's not easy to recognize.

But the meaning should have been expressed.

Di Ying held the copper head in his palm, a little hard.

He looked up at the roof again, and then checked the doors and windows.

Then he called in the steward and asked casually, "How many concubines has your lord accepted?" ”

The person in charge was watching Master Di solve the case and looked very energetic, and when he heard the question, he replied casually: "Four." ”

"The most beautiful is from Wenzhou?" Di Ying asked quickly without a trace.

The steward shook his head when he heard the question, and replied casually: "No, the second aunt is too ...... What do you ask for? ”

The steward, after answering halfway instinctively, suddenly became alert.

Di Ying looked at Peng Liang.

His chin tilted towards the steward, and said, "Catch!" ”

Peng Liang immediately approached like the wind, and poked it with one finger.

The steward's eyes were wide open, and he wanted to rise from the ground without thinking.

It's a pity that as soon as he jumped up, he was swept by Peng Liang and swept away diagonally.

The steward struck the wall and fell to the ground.

He held his stomach with one hand and remembered it with the other.

A smear of blood flowed from his mouth, and he said to himself, "Why? ”

Peng Liang stepped forward and stepped on the person again, so that people could obediently listen to his family "solve the case".

Di Ying saw that the person had been held, so he slowly and methodically took off his gloves one by one, and said: "The apricot blossom has a light taste, and it will be even lighter after drying."

When you hold them, in order to ensure that their flower shape is intact, let them stay in your hand for a long time, right?

Before your lord went to bed, did you go in and serve? When he came out, there was no latch.

When the hour has come, you will have the best time to go into the house and kill him.

But when you have blood on your hands, when you come out again, you will use your feet to hook up the door.

In order to prevent the servants from hearing the sound, do you clean your hands in the small fish pond in the courtyard?

Before your lord's customary time to get up, you entered the main house again and sprinkled dried apricot blossoms.

The reason is probably this: are you afraid that you will be blown away by the wind if you scatter early? Or are you afraid that your master will be lost when he struggled before he died?

But whatever the reason, you're trying too deliberately to keep them intact.

Apricot blossoms are not special, and if you are not familiar with it, you may confuse it with other flowers.

These dried apricot blossoms are not made by you yourself.

It's the end of September, the apricot blossoms bloom in June, and you can't wait months in advance to provoke the official.

Neither can anyone else.

Yesterday, the official spread the news that he had arrived in Wenzhou City, and in the early hours of this morning, someone died.

In such a short period of time, I thought of using dried apricot blossoms to remind the official, so these dried apricot blossoms are not even often sold on the market.

In your master's tea business: there is apricot blossom tea, right?

Only specially made dried apricot blossoms can be so vivid.

It's hard for you to choose the best of the best, and pick the best of them to sprinkle.

But because of this, you have left the fragrance of apricot blossoms on your hands.

But this faint smell doesn't catch your own attention, because you're used to it, it's all too familiar. You forgot to clean your hands again.

Or: You didn't have time? ”

Di Ying said, put away the dirty gloves, put them in the toolbox, and then put the hair down.

He shook the cloth that bound his hair in his hand, and then looked at the steward with disbelief in his eyes.

continued: "If the murderer was not the person next to the deceased Lu Quan, he would not know that he was carrying dried apricot blossoms, let alone where the dried apricot blossoms were stored.

And being able to enter and leave the main house calmly, without a trace of panic at all, shows that the murderer is too sure.

Why?

It depends on his familiarity with the environment, with the people, with everything around him.

In order to divert the attention of the official, you also deliberately went up to the roof once, uncovered some tiles, covered them again, and wiped them off to erase the footprints.

But you didn't come straight down from the roof.

This leaves a huge flaw.

Or if you want to say: if you count the guards around the officer, once you find the traces of the roof, they will wear them down from the roof, and then they will automatically help you complete the traces.

I have to say, you are overconfident.

Or: You also underestimate Peng Liang, the chief of the guard.

You're not as good as his light body.

You are familiar with this compound. Every time a businessman comes to Wenzhou City, you all live here, right?

This is one of the habits that people who have been doing business for many years will have.

You also said that your lord doesn't come often, and only you are responsible for buying and transporting goods back and forth.

Just like this official is familiar with Peng Liang.

With Peng Liang's kung fu, how much dust can be brought down from the roof into the house, the official knows very well.

And if there is only a little dust in this room, it means that only one person has ever worn it.

You deliberately wiped the footprints on the tiles, which shows that you have enough time.

Why? Because you know the sleeping habits of the minions.

You are not afraid that someone will get up and find you during that time.

And this copper head. It's still a little wet on top.

It's also what you put in the teacup before the morning and after sprinkling the flowers, right?

At that time, there was still water in the tea cup, right? You splashed it and put the copper head in it.

But when you do that, you expose yourself completely.

Because if it was an outsider who committed a crime, an outsider released it, or a person who released it after killing Lu Quan, the copper head did not absorb water, and it should have been done a long time ago.

It's impossible for outsiders to kill people after the hour and come back before the morning to scatter dried apricot blossoms and put copper heads, right?

But why do you want to make two trips?

It's because dried apricot blossoms are not easy to preserve, and they have always been carefully kept by Lu Quan, right?

You'll have to kill him before you can get the dried apricot blossoms.

But this also shows the preciousness of Lujia apricot blossom tea, and the quantity is not large, and it is not sold far away, and it will never be sold in the local market, right?

This time, because the quality of the tea is not very good, Lu Quancai brought apricot blossom tea and wanted to make up for it to the other party, right?

This should also be the secret of the Lu family, right? You don't usually have access to it.

And you killed people to provoke your own officials, was it a temporary intention, or was you bought?

That's why you had to make two trips.

But you're not in a hurry anyway, you may even be thinking proudly when choosing flowers and scattering flowers: This official will be confused by your wonderful trick, right?

You protect the scene of the accident for fear that someone will lose the apricot blossoms? Or did you take the copper head?

What is this copper head? It's so rough that it's hard to find.

But the official happens to know what it is. This is the tongue inside the bell of the horse for horses. This head is a horse's head.

There were so many goods in this courtyard, but there were only two carriages. Then these two carriages are for Lu Quan and you.

As for scissors, they can be bought in the blacksmith shop in Wenzhou City.

Your planning time is in a hurry, and you shouldn't ask someone else to buy it, for fear of missing it. You bought it yourself, right?

Do you need to be escorted by this official to the blacksmith shop to investigate? Who told you to buy it?

Don't tell the officer: you're going to be behind the scenes. You don't have that much power. Say, the next killing place prepared by the people who bought you and prepared for this official is Tongtou County, right? ”
