The surrounding officials were stunned, and hurriedly looked around, but they didn't see Xu Jing.

Didn't the follow them all the time? Why did it suddenly disappear?

Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Come on, go and find the whereabouts of the......"

"No need."

A clear male voice not far away suddenly sounded, but it was Jiang Yu, who was leaning on the dark brown corridor pillars and holding his chest with his hands, his eyes were slightly gloomy and said: "When the was in the front hall, she didn't follow us in, and she stayed to talk to the shopkeeper, and it is estimated that she will come over soon." ”

Yao Shaoyin was stunned.

The guy confronted Qu Langjun, making them ignore the situation around them.

It's just that there are so many people here, and only Jiang Erlang has been paying attention to the movements of the.

Yao Shaoyin faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't think clearly for a while.

At this moment, a servant next to him said, "are here!" ”

Yao Shaoyin's thoughts immediately dispersed, and he looked in the direction that the official could see, and saw Xu Jing slowly coming towards this side, and behind her, there was also the shopkeeper of this inn.

Xu Jing was slightly stunned when she saw everyone looking at her with blazing eyes, and reacted that she should have left without saying hello, which made them anxious, and said with a slight smile: "I just asked Shopkeeper Cao to confirm some things......

After a pause, she said with a solemn expression: "I am almost certain now that Sister-in-law Wu was killed by someone. ”

Yao Shaoyin was stunned for a moment and said, "Xu Niangzi can say now, what method do you think the murderer used to kill Sister-in-law Wu?" ”

Xu Jing said: "Before that, I have one last question I want to ask Qu Langjun, did the businessman who witnessed Sister-in-law Wu fall off the roof that day said that Sister-in-law Wu's head was rolling down in the direction of the eaves at that time?" ”

Qu Langjun looked at Xu Jing in disbelief, "You, how did you know?" But this was not what the merchant had said, it was night at that time, and by the moonlight alone, he could not see many details clearly, except that he saw something that looked like a person rolling down from the roof.

Later, it was the people from the government who judged that my aunt had fallen with her head to the eaves on the right side of the house based on the posture of my aunt on the ground......"

"It's simple."

The corners of Xu Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and she said word by word: "Because whether it is the posture of your aunt or the direction of falling, it is carefully arranged by the murderer!"

In the dead of night, when everyone in the inn had already returned to their rooms, the murderer stunned your mother, tied her to himself with a rope or something, and climbed up to the roof through the plane tree in the yard!

Because of the many clothes worn in winter, the murderer tied Wu's sister-in-law with a rope, and Wu's sister-in-law would not leave traces on her body. Then he put on the shoes of Sister-in-law Wu that he had prepared in advance, and put Sister-in-law Wu's head in the direction of the eaves and put it on the roof......"

Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but say: ", you mean that the murderer prepared his shoes in advance this time?" ”

After all, in Jiang Sanniang's case, they deduced that the murderer directly wore Jiang Sanniang's shoes.

Xu Jing nodded and said: "Yes, because Sister-in-law Wu's head was facing the eaves when she fell from the building, if the murderer wants to leave no traces, he can only use the rope prepared in advance to hang the protruding corner on the roof and return to the ground after putting down Sister-in-law Wu.

And if he throws his shoes on the roof at will, it is too easy to arouse the suspicion of others, after all, if a person jumps to his death, he will rarely deliberately take off his shoes and jump down, it is better to prepare a pair of shoes that are exactly the same as Wu's sister-in-law's shoes in advance, and wear them to commit murder. ”

Yao Shaoyin was surprised: "You mean, the murderer's shoes are likely to be made for him by Sister-in-law Wu?!" ”

When he was at Qu Langjun's house, Qu Langjun said that his aunt's clothes, shoes and socks were all made by herself, and if the murderer wanted to prepare a pair of shoes that were exactly the same as Wu's sister-in-law's shoes, he could only ask Wu's sister-in-law.

"That's right."

Xu Jing said coldly: "So, Sister-in-law Wu should have had a good relationship with the murderer before, and even had a very close relationship with him. ”

A new pair of shoes and an old pair of shoes, even if they are the same size and pattern on the soles, will still leave a slight difference.

It's a pity that this case happened at the end of the year when the government was busiest, listening to Yao Shaoyin's meaning, this case was completely in charge of Zhang Shaoyin alone, and Fang Zhutou didn't have time to help at that time.

Otherwise, he would probably have noticed something unusual at the time.

Qu Langjun's face suddenly turned slightly pale.

One of the officials couldn't help but say, "But...... But why is it so complicated? If it's not good for Sister-in-law Wu to put shoes on her just because her head is in the direction of the eaves, then just turn Sister-in-law Wu in the other direction, and the murderer can help her put her shoes on when she leaves the roof......"

It stands to reason that when the murderer was hanging on the rope, if he could have a free hand, he would still be able to put his shoes on Wu's sister-in-law with a little effort.

Xu Jing glanced at him and said: "That's too risky, even if he hangs on the rope and reaches over to put on Wu's shoes, he may leave any traces on the snow if he is not careful, don't forget, there was snow everywhere on the roof at that time, only the protruding spires on the left and right sides and the gables on both sides have no snow, and the murderer has the ability to avoid other places with snow without leaving traces, which is already very powerful."

What's more, he didn't have a choice, he couldn't turn Sister-in-law Wu's direction at all! ”

The official was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Xu Jing chuckled, "It's a long time to talk about this, and we have to start with the murderer's method of killing Wu's sister-in-law." When the coffin was opened this morning, you thought we were working in vain, but from that time on, I had a doubt in my heart - this building is only two floors, not very high, even if it falls from the roof, if the back hits the ground first or the lower limbs hit the ground first, it may not die immediately, and may not even die! ”

Everyone was stunned, and the guy who brought them over couldn't help but say, "That's right! In the villain's hometown, a person fell down while repairing the roof, although he was half crippled, but the person is still fine, and has lived until now! ”

Others also said: "I've seen people who fell from a height and didn't die, but they broke their legs, and they just raised them for a while!" ”

"It's not uncommon! Of course, there are many people who are unlucky and die after a fall! ”

Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but say: "If Sister-in-law Wu was killed, that murderer would definitely not let her have the possibility of getting alive, so he deliberately let Sister-in-law Wu's head fall to the ground first?" ”

Qu Langjun frowned and said, "But, but, this is not what the murderer wants to do!" ”

After all, when his aunt fell, he wasn't on the roof!

He let his aunt fall off the roof alone, which is enough to make people feel incredible, not to mention, he can still control his aunt where to fall first!
