Yao Shaoyin hurriedly probed over, "What did the find?" ”

Xu Jing pointed to a place behind his coat and said, "Look here." ”

This coat is dark gray, and there is no side pattern on it, but I saw that the place Xu Jing pointed to was the upper position in the middle of the coat, where there was an obvious tear, and the crack was horizontal, about the width of a knuckle, because the clothes were filled with some cotton wool of kapok to keep warm, and at this time, some old and yellowed cotton wool was exposed from it.

Yao Shaoyin was slightly stunned, what does this rift represent?

Xu Jing stared at him and said, "Is there such a crack in your underwear?" ”

Yao Shaoyin shook his head, "No, Xu Niangzi is suspicious, this rift was formed when Sister-in-law Wu died?" ”

Xu Jing nodded, her eyes slightly dark, "I have an idea." ”

This idea came to her as early as when she heard Qu Langjun say that his aunt was lying on the roof and rolling down.

What she did next was, more or less, a validation of the idea.

Yao Shaoyin suddenly looked at her with a puzzled and curious expression, but Xu Jing didn't say anything, turned to Qu Langjun and said, "Qu Langjun, when did you have an impression of the crack on your aunt's coat?" ”

Because this set of clothes was washed by his own hands, Qu Langjun knew that there was such a gap, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't know very well, I live in the academy all the year round, and I usually only go home during the mid-year break, I can only be sure that this crack existed when I took off my clothes from A-Niang."

But my aunt usually cherishes the items around her very much, and if there is any tear on her clothes, she will immediately patch it, so I guess this crack was only found that night. ”

Indeed, Wu's sister-in-law's outfit was sewn with patches, and at a glance, you could tell that its owner was a diligent and thrifty person.

Seeing that Xu Jing had been staring at the crack in her clothes, Jiang Yu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "What did Xu Niangzi think?" ”

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him.

Truth be told, if he hadn't spoken suddenly, she would have forgotten that he existed.

She stood up with the coat and said lightly: "I already know how Sister-in-law Wu died, as we guessed before, Sister-in-law Wu is very likely not to commit suicide, but was murdered." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her in surprise.

No, how did she suddenly know? Isn't their investigation still stuck in a bottleneck?

Even Jiang Yu was rarely slightly stunned.

Yao Shaoyin hurriedly said: ", what the hell is going on?" ”

"I want to go to the inn where Sister-in-law Wu died first."

Xu Jing glanced at him and said, "The specific situation, when I get there, I'll tell you in detail." ”

The location where Wu's sister-in-law fell from the building is the Xinyi Inn in the east of Xijing City, and the class distribution of Xijing City is clearly shown from the layout of the entire city.

The common people generally live in the south of the city, among them, the southeast because of the gathering of a large number of foreign merchants, especially prosperous and lively on weekdays, forming many large and small markets, where things are not necessarily the best, but must be the most inexpensive, this Xinyi Inn is located in the southeast of Xijing.

And Wu's sister-in-law's market selling tofu on weekdays is not far from the Xinyi Inn, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk.

As soon as Yao Shaoyin and his party walked into the Xinyi Inn, they noticed that something was wrong - there were too few people in this inn! There were only two tables of guests in the entire lobby, although it was now the end of the year, and there were fewer guests than usual, but they came all the way and occasionally glanced at other inns when they passed by, and the guests inside were not so bleak.

When the guys in the store saw someone coming in, they were about to come up to entertain them with joy, but when they saw them wearing official clothes, their whole faces suddenly turned white, and when they saw Qu Langjun who was following Yao Shaoyin and them, they were even more frightened and took a step back, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "You...... Why do you still have the face to come! It's because of your mother, no one wants to come to our inn at this time! Everyone's unlucky! Our shopkeeper said that if this continues, we will close the store in advance and reopen it after it is renovated in the spring of next year! In my opinion, I should ask you for the money for the repairs! ”

Qu Langjun looked embarrassed, and said to the guy: "I'm really embarrassed, I also know that we have caused you a lot of trouble, and I didn't have the face to come to your store, but Yao Shaoyin of Xijing Mansion said that there was something wrong with a certain aunt, and I could only come over with them again with a thick skin." ”

Hearing that the person who came was Yao Shaoyin, the guy didn't dare to spill again, but his face was still not good, and he said viciously: "Didn't your wife commit suicide?" What's so weird? ”

Seeing this, Yao Shaoyin took the initiative to take a step forward and said, "We'll talk about the details later, we want to see where Sister-in-law Wu fell from the building, and please lead the way." ”

The guy was still very respectful to Yao Shaoyin, after all, they were doing business in Xijing, and there would be many places to trouble the Xijing Mansion in the future, so he immediately put away his dissatisfied and angry face, and after asking the shopkeeper on the side, he said, "Please come with the villain." ”

Then he took them to the backyard and walked aisles: "The woman jumped down from the east floor of us, and the room where she lived was also there, and the building on the east side of us had two floors, and the villain remembered that she lived on the first floor." ”

So saying, they came to a clearing in front of the building, and the man pointed to the right of the clearing, pouted, and said, "Well, this is where she fell." ”

This inn is a monolithic layout, the buildings on all sides are connected by several corridors, the houses on the left and right sides are only one floor, and the houses in front and back have two floors, because it is an affordable inn, this courtyard is not very exquisite, only a few trees are sparsely planted, and the largest tree is the plane tree next to the building where Wu's sister-in-law fell.

Yao Shaoyin looked around and said, "Where is the room where Sister-in-law Wu lives?" ”

The man pointed to a window on the left and said, "We have six rooms on the first floor, and she lives in the second room on the first floor from the left." ”

Yao Shaoyin nodded, and asked again: "When she came in to open the room, did you notice anything wrong with her?" ”

The guy couldn't help but glance at Yao Shaoyin and said, "This question, Zhang Shaoyin also asked before, when the woman came in, her face was not very good, the whole person looked lifeless, and seemed to be a little flustered, and kept looking left and right. ”

Looking left and right?

Yao Shaoyin frowned slightly.

Words like panic may also carry the personal judgment of some people in the store, and the same expression may have different interpretations in the eyes of different people, but the action of looking left and right is real.

With his understanding of Zhang Shaoyin, on the premise of thinking that the other party committed suicide, he may understand the action of looking left and right as the panic before Wu's sister-in-law committed suicide.

But what if Sister-in-law Wu will look left and right, is she avoiding some people?

Thinking that the murderer is likely to know the victim, and it is even likely that the murderer asked Sister-in-law Wu to come here, Sister-in-law Wu looked left and right, and it was also possible that she was looking for that person!

Yao Shaoyin pondered for a while, subconsciously wanted to discuss with Xu Jing, and looked around, but saw no one.

He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Where's the?!" ”
