() Slowly turning the woman's body over, seeing that there was something wrong with her chest, he stretched out two fingers and gently lifted her clothes. But seeing a palm printed on his chest, he nodded and sighed: "Such a vicious palm technique, it is actually a palm to kill." ”

Lingque'er stepped forward to take a look, but shook her head and said: "She was poisoned, Brother Qiao, you see, the blood on the corner of her mouth is black, obviously she drank some kind of deadly poison, and she died." And the palm on the chest was obviously deliberately hit by the murderer in order to blink an eye. ”

Lingque'er was right, there was indeed a trace of blood flowing from the corner of the woman's mouth, but the candlelight was dim, and it was really not easy to see if you didn't look carefully.

In addition to the woman's body, the floor was also a mess, with bookcases being turned up and clothes scattered all over the floor. The sparrow picked up a broken cup from the woman's side and sniffed it, frowning slightly.

"Oh? Do you mean that this woman was first poisoned to death, and then slapped again?

Lingque'er shook her head and said, "I don't understand, it stands to reason that with the murderer's martial arts, he can palm one at a time, and there is no need to bother so much." His brow furrowed, lost in thought.

"Let's go outside. Lingque'er glanced at Qiao Zhengyu, and the two walked out of the back room and returned to the bedroom just now.

The two looked carefully for a while, and sure enough, they made a new discovery.

"Look, Brother Qiao, that window doesn't seem right. As the two approached, it was not difficult to notice that the window had been opened, and there were footprints on it.

"Well, it's clear that someone is trying to escape through the window, but the footprints are not big, and they look like the footprints of an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Qiao Zhengyu gestured with his hand on the footprint and said with great certainty.

Lingque'er nodded and said: "That's right, these footprints must have been left by Qian Yuanwai's children, presumably to avoid the pursuit of the murderer, so he jumped out of the window and fled." ”

Both nodded and smiled, comprehended, and jumped out of the window.

Outside the window was a garden, and the two jumped out of the window and landed gently on the grass.

Just after walking a few steps, I saw a person walking not far away, and the two of them were heartbroken, and hurriedly ran over.

In front of them lay the corpse of a boy, with a pained expression, limbs bent, and a hand clutched into the dirt so tightly that his fingernails cracked and blood oozed out.

The spirit sparrow stepped forward to probe his snort, shook his head, and said, "What a sin, even such a small child will not be spared, how much hatred must be this." Looking at his injuries, it seemed to be hit by the force of his palm, but the murderer seemed to be merciful when he attacked, causing the child not to die at that time, but to struggle for a while before dying in pain. ”

When Qiao Zhengyu heard this, he shook his head and hated: "This murderer is so vicious, but he is really worse than a beast." If I catch him, I will pluck his skin and cramp his tendons, and let him taste life worse than death. ”

As he was talking, he heard the sparrow say, "Brother Qiao, come here, there seems to be a corpse here." ”

Not far from the boy lay a man with sharp eyes, and though she had a bad sight, she was found in the grass.

Qiao Zhengyu hurriedly ran over and saw the ground

There was a little girl, about five or six years old, lying there, looking up in the direction of the boy.

Obviously, the man and the woman are the children of Qian Yuanwai, and after discovering the murderer, the two instinctively fled through the window. But alas, they were caught up by the murderer and killed them. After carefully inspecting the scene, Qiao Zhengyu came to such a conclusion after careful analysis.

The sparrow was silent, looked back and forth for a long time, and sighed, "Well, it should be like this." It's just that the relationship between the brother and sister must have been very good before their deaths, and at the time of crisis, the younger sister was still worried about her brother's safety, so that she refused to escape alone when she was dying, and was finally killed by the murderer. ”

Shaking her head repeatedly, she turned the girl's body over and lay flat on the ground. He took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it on the little girl's face. After wiping all the dirt clean, he slowly got up, put his hands on his chest, mourned endlessly, and recited the Sutra of the Past Three Times.

Qiao Zhengyu took advantage of the gap to pick up the boy and place it with the little girl. Then he found a black cloth and covered the two of them, learning the appearance of the spirit sparrow, and silently chanting in his mouth.

And so, after a while, the two stopped.

Qiao Zhengyu said: "Sister, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the house outside the money clerk has been robbed. It's just that the robbed strongman has strong martial arts, so he killed all the people in the Qian Yuan's mansion without much effort. It's just that the whereabouts of Qian Yuanwai's body are still unknown, so let's look for it again. ”

The sparrow nodded, and the two searched for it all the way through the garden. Walking to the backyard, the two of them were next to a pool and finally found a fat headless corpse.

"It seems that this is Qian Yuanwai, after the murderer killed his family, he chased him here, and finally killed Qian Yuanwai, who couldn't run. Qiao Zhengyu looked at the scene and thought for a while before saying slowly.

"Oh, Brother Qiao, you haven't seen Qian Yuanwai, how can you be sure that this person is Qian Yuanwai? Also, if this person is really Qian Yuanwai, then how do you know that he can't run? As far as I know, when it comes to danger, even a fat person will become extremely flexible, and your reasoning doesn't seem to work. The sparrow asked rhetorically.

Qiao Zhengyu didn't answer in time, but walked to the corpse, pointed to the object in his hand and said, "Sister, look, what is that?"

The sparrow looked at it for a while, and saw the corpse's right hand soaked in the pool, holding a stick in it, which flickered in the water, and said, "It's a very ordinary stick, what's the matter, what does this mean?"

Qiao Zhengyu smiled but didn't answer, stepped forward and took the stick in his hand, turned it upside down, and said, "Sister, this stick is not an ordinary thing, but a jade staff made of high-grade jade." Not to mention that it is exquisitely made and priceless, just in terms of this weight, this jade scepter is extraordinary, and the value is not thin, if it is resold, it can be sold for 108,000 taels of silver. ”

Lingque'er took the jade scepter, looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed a good thing, not something that ordinary people can have, and those who can have this thing are either rich or expensive." So, that's how you judged that this person was a money clerk?"

Qiao Zhengyu said: "What, isn't this enough? Just imagine such a precious thing, except for the money clerk himself, who has this ability to carry on his body."

"Besides, this is the Qian Mansion, and I think the entire Qian Mansion only has this strength outside the Qian Mansion.

Isn't that enough. Therefore, not to mention 100 percent, at least more than 80 percent of the certainty, which can prove that this person is the money outside. ”

"Even if it is, but there is still a question, since the murderer came here for robbery, why did he turn a blind eye to the jade staff and easily let go of such a precious treasure, which is obviously inconsistent with reality. Brother Qiao, I don't know how you explain it?" Lingque nodded, and then asked.

Qiao Zhengyu was stunned for a long time when she asked, walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "The murderer entered the mansion to rob and killed several people in a row, probably afraid of being discovered, it is inevitable that he will be a little panicked, and he wants to leave the Qian Mansion as soon as possible."

After killing Qian Yuanwai, he didn't stay too long and left in a hurry. In addition, it was dark at that time, and Qian Yuan's hand holding the jade staff fell into the pool again, so the murderer may not have seen the jade staff. ”

Lingque'er smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "It sounds reasonable, maybe there is a possibility." Okay, let's leave that aside for now, let's go back to the question we just asked. You said that Qian Yuan was fat and couldn't run, so he was chased by the murderer and killed, where does this come from?"

Qiao Zhengyu glanced at her and said with a smile: "This is even easier." Girl, let me ask you, you see that in addition to being beautiful, this jade scepter actually has other functions, I don't know if you have thought about it?"

The spirit bird looked at the jade staff, but saw that it was about six feet long, as thick as a bamboo, straight up and down, green all around, and the most peculiar thing was that there was a hole at the top, in which a red thread was tied, and a piece of jade pendant hung on it.

Le He laughed and said, "I think this jade staff looks like a crutch. However, although Qian Yuanwai is old, he is not seventy or eighty, and when he reaches the age when he can't walk, how can he use crutches at a young age. If it is said that his legs and feet are inconvenient, but after careful inspection just now, my limbs are intact and there is no defect. ”

Qiao Zhengyu shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Sister, I think you are smart and confused for a while, you only know that it is normal for a person to have no disease in his limbs, but you haven't thought that some other diseases can also cause inflexibility in the legs, such as stroke, cerebral infarction or something。。。。。。 ”

"Oh, I see, you mean that this Qian Yuan had a stroke or something like that in his life. Although his life was saved in time, he was left with the sequelae of leg and foot inconvenience. "The sparrow is clever and clever, and it can be broken at a moment, and it is quickly understood.

Qiao Zhengyu smiled: "Well, that's exactly what it means. Think about it, with such a figure as a money officer, it's no wonder if you don't make a little bit of wealth and disease. That's why I said that he couldn't run fast, and that he had to use the jade staff for all his actions, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch. He still had a jade staff in his hand when he died, which is a good proof of this. ”

Lingque'er didn't refute, pondered for a moment, and said, "All of Brother Qiao's reasoning seems to be very reasonable, and I don't deny that there is such a possibility." But it is still inconclusive whether this person is a money clerk or not, unless the head of the money clerk can be found. Otherwise, it's all just speculation, not true. ”

When Qiao Zhengyu heard this, he was immediately deflated and said, "Okay, when I find the head of Qian Yuanwai, I can't help but believe you." I have a lot of them, and I don't care about you, so let's look again and see if we can make any new discoveries. ”

Lingque'er listened and said with a smile: "Okay, just listen to Brother Qiao." The two looked at each other
