Chapter 352: A Strange Thing Like Snow (Second Watch)
Yao Shaoyin immediately nodded and said, "That's right, if Master Xuanyin wants to fake the illusion that she is in the room, it is only possible to do everything during the time that the two little nuns went to the thatched house." Just now we asked the two little nuns, and they both said that they had not been in the hut for a long time, because they were worried that Master Xuanyin would have something to do with them, so they all ran back and forth, no more than a quarter of an hour at most.
Master Xuanyin had to take out the hidden doll in a quarter of an hour, put it in the room and set it up, and secretly leave, it was definitely impossible to hide the doll too far away.
Moreover, we also sent someone to ask, although this is a backyard, ordinary pilgrims will not come, but the backyard often lives a lot of pilgrims, if Master Xuanyin puts the puppet outside this courtyard, she is bound to leave this courtyard and move the puppet in from the outside, this behavior is too eye-catching, it is likely to bump into other little nuns, or other people who live here. ”
They also specifically asked if there was a ban on letting other people near the courtyard where Master Xuanyin lived, and all the little nuns said no.
Except for not being allowed to enter the residences of Master Xuanyin and other little nuns, there was no explicit prohibition anywhere else.
When the pilgrims check in, they will also take them to familiarize themselves with the environment and tell them where they can't enter.
This shows that the only place where Master Xuanyin can completely control is her own courtyard.
When Xu Jing heard this, she was slightly stunned.
Go outside the yard and bring the puppet in......
Walk out into the courtyard......
She suddenly flashed in her mind, as if she had caught something, but before she could think about it, the official who was in charge of searching other places in this courtyard came over and saluted them: "Yao Shaoyin, Xu Niangzi, we have searched every corner of this courtyard, and we have not found anything wrong!" ”
Even though he had a faint premonition, Yao Shaoyin was still disappointed in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said unrelentingly: "Search again, this time, I'll go search with you!" ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and strode forward.
Xu Jing was about to follow, when she saw Master Xuanyin, who was standing in front of her, suddenly turned around, looking at her with a pair of eyes fixedly, suddenly, the corners of her mouth hooked, and the pair of extremely cold eyes at this moment released a more obvious mockery and coldness.
Xu Jing's hands hanging on both sides of her body clenched violently, and she couldn't help but sneer secretly.
This guy, let's say she is arrogant, but she has the capital to be arrogant.
She is indeed intelligent, cautious, and bold and careful.
It's not so much that she's arrogant, it's better to say she's conceited.
She believed in her own abilities very much, and looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't feel wrong at first.
If you can't convict her today, it will be difficult to convict her later.
She looked at Master Xuanyin coldly for a moment, then turned and walked away.
She didn't continue to follow Yao Shaoyin and them to search other places, but walked slowly around the courtyard, trying to regain the things that had only flashed in her mind.
Judging from the current situation, it is indeed unlikely that Genyin Shitai will hide things outside the courtyard, because it will be easy to be seen when he moves in.
After all, if her and Yao Shaoyin's guess was correct, the doll that Master Xuanyin used as a stand-in was human-sized, and even if she covered it with a cloth, it would definitely attract the attention of others.
You can't hide something outside the yard, so where the hell did she hide it?
It must be one, she felt they would never have imagined.
Where they didn't think of it...... In other words, they now think that the thing is in the yard, maybe it was in her trap!
They were wrong in the first place!
That thing, not in this yard!
Xu Jing's heart suddenly slammed, and a heart jumped with a pop.
Yes, they have always fallen into a misunderstanding - for the murderer, what he cares most about is not where the thing is hidden, but how to move it around without being discovered!
If the murderer had a way to move it without being discovered, it wouldn't have to be hidden in this yard!
But it can't be too far, because the question of time can't be changed.
If you can't move it undetected, you can't go through the front door!
Even if the murderer walks, it is likely not the door at all!
Xu Jing quickly looked around the courtyard, and her eyes suddenly locked on the persimmon tree in the upper left corner of the yard that was taller than the roof.
It snowed the morning before yesterday because there was no sun these days, and the snow that had accumulated had not melted.
The little nun in this Jingyuan Nunnery is diligent and has cleaned most of the snow on the main road in the nunnery, and the same is true in the courtyard of Master Xuanyin.
It's just that what makes people feel strange is that even the persimmon trees in the yard are basically free of snow, unless they have been specially cleaned up, how can there be no snow hanging on such a tree with many branches!
She turned her head and saw Jing Lian standing aside, and hurriedly called her over and said, "When you clean the snow, will you also clean the snow on the trees?" ”
Jinglian was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Xu Jing's eyes looking at the persimmon tree on the side, she immediately understood why she asked so, shook her head and said: "Not usually, but Master has high requirements for the environment in the yard, and we will be extra dedicated when we clean Master's yard, and even the snow on the tree will be knocked off with a long pole." ”
When Xu Jing stopped in front of the persimmon tree, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Master Xuanyin not far away, and finally slowly put away the smile on her face for the first time today, and looked at her coldly with a pair of eyes.
She hooked the corners of her mouth, and simply looked at Master Xuanyin not far away, while saying, "Then knock the snow off the tree, but your master's request?" ”
Jing Lian also sensed something at this time, bit her lip uneasily, and said, "Yes...... Master had asked us to remove the snow from the trees as well......"
Snow is a tricky thing for a murderer, because it will be very honest to record all traces of the murderer, and a large area of snow is not something that the murderer can deal with if he wants to.
Xuanyin Shitai was very clever before, and in turn used this characteristic of snow to falsify the evidence of the victim's suicide.
However, the snow on the tree was obviously not a tool she could use, but an obstacle to her existence, so she deliberately asked people to clean it up.
Why is it getting in her way?
Because she's going to do something with the tree, and the snow on the tree will leave traces of her doing it!
Xu Jing looked up and looked at the roof next to the tree.
On the roof, what's there!
She hurriedly turned her head to summon Yao Shaoyin over, a vigorous black shadow suddenly flashed in front of her, she was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned her head, and saw that Jiang Yu was already climbing one of the branches, and jumped up lightly.
