Chen Yutian slowly pushed the door open. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As far as the eye can see, there are ruins of dark ruined houses and crumbling walls, a few scorched trees lying across the ground, and broken wooden doors and windows creaking in the wind, as if to tell the desolation of this place.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi were both a little silent.
This is where the first bombing took place.
According to the clues provided by Zhou Lin, this was a large manor before, at that time, the explosion occurred in the middle of the night, and almost all the people in the manor had already slept, so when the explosion occurred, many people could not wake up in time, and in the violent explosion, they died in vain.
The owner of the village had a family of three, and more than a dozen domestic servants, all of whom died that night.
The dead, as many as twenty people!
This figure, at that time, greatly shocked the Gyeonggi Province, which came to handle the case.
And this manor that was bombed was also sealed by Gyeonggi Prefecture after that night, and it has been sealed since then.
Until today, Chen Yutian and they came.
Walking into this ruined manor, Chen Yutian's eyes widened, and he looked around, carefully observing every place.
Soon after, he came to the abandoned house with only four walls left.
This was the most bombed-out building in the entire estate. At the same time, it is also the bedroom of the family of three of the lord of the manor.
Chen Yutian slowly paced in the room, carefully observing the situation in the room as he walked.
Then, his gaze fell on the wall where only a corner remained.
There, both the cracks and the scorching of the walls are much worse than in other places.
Moreover, the upper part of the wall was completely broken and disappeared, so it is certain that the explosives at that time should have been planted here.
He looked to the side again, and it was, though empty, but from the traces that had been left on the shattered ground, he was sure that there must have been a bed in that place.
It should be the bed where the family of the owner of the village was sleeping at that time.
"The location where the explosives were planted is so close to the bed where the master is resting?" Xuan Xi's eyes widened.
Chen Yutian also rubbed his eyebrows and frowned slightly.
Indeed, the bomb was planted too close to the bed.
This is the owner's bedroom, and it can be said that no matter what kind of changes have occurred in this room, it may not be clear to people, but the owner of the farmhouse who rests here all year round must have noticed it. In other words, it is impossible for the murderer to plant explosives here in advance, because in this way, he will definitely be discovered by the lord of the village first.
Therefore, the only possibility is that the explosives were secretly put in by the murderer on the night of the explosion.
In this way, the murderer is disguised as an insider?
Or, he was an insider in the first place!
"The master is resting, and it is impossible not to lock it, so it should be impossible for the murderer to enter this room that night, so how did he put explosives into this room?"
Chen Yutian muttered, looked around, suddenly raised his head, and looked at the blue sky that was now exposed without a roof, and his eyes slowly lit up with a hint of light.
He looked up, imagining the image of the murderer uncovering the tiles on the roof that night and hoisting the explosives into it, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This idea, although very bold and a little absurd, but for now, it is the most conjecture in line with the situation on the spot.
As for whether this is really the case, it is impossible to verify it now.
After all, the roof of this house is gone.
He imagined that the killer had hoisted the explosives inside, leaving the long lead outside the roof tiles and covering the lead with some combustibles. In this way, everything is basically laid out.
"No, if that's the case, explosives shouldn't and can't blow up the entire roof. Even if it were a high explosive, it would blow up half the house like this at most, but it would not be possible to completely blow up the roof. So......"
Chen Yutian muttered, his eyes gradually clear. He added another paragraph to the picture he had just imagined.
After putting the explosives into the room, the murderer turned over the tiles in several places on the roof, used ropes and other items to fix several small high explosive bags to the tiles, and finally put the tiles back in place, and put the fuses of these small explosives under the combustibles as well as the fuses of the explosives in the house.
In this way, everything is truly completed.
After that, as long as the murderer shoots rockets from a distance, these explosives can naturally be detonated.
It's just, where did the murderer shoot the rocket?
Chen Yutian walked out of the abandoned house, looked around, and his eyes fell on a three-story attic in the distance.
"Is that there?"
Chen Yutian squinted slightly, and then his body moved, and when the dragon took off, the whole person rose into the air, and after a few flashes, he came to the attic.
Standing on the second floor of the attic, he looked down and found that he could clearly see the badly bombed abandoned house.
He slowly closed his eyes, imagining the image of the murderer standing here, shooting rockets.
After a long time, he opened his eyes.
"Let's go......" He turned his head and said lightly to Xuan Xi behind him.
"Where are you going next?" asked Xuan Xi.
"Look for the survivors, let's go and ask about the situation. ā
......
"Knock Knock ......"
Chen Yutian knocked lightly on the door, and soon, a woman in coarse cloth opened the door, and was stunned when she saw Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi standing outside the door.
"You ...... Who?" asked the woman.
"Uh...... Sister-in-law, let's look for Brother Fu. Chen Yutian was stunned for a moment, then hugged his fists and spoke.
"Oh. The woman opened the door, welcomed them in, led them into the house, and immediately cried out to the inner room, "Someone is looking for you, the master." ā
"Got it. ā
I heard a deep man's voice from the back room, and then, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard walked out of the back room with a wooden cane.
Chen Yutian carefully looked at the person in front of him.
The person in front of him, named Fu Ming, was one of the survivors of the first bombing, and the only one who survived among the servants affected by the explosion.
This is also the reason why Chen Yutian came to him.
After all, he had personally experienced that explosion, and he naturally knew a lot about the clues.
Fu Ming came to the hall and saw Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi, and was stunned for a moment, "The two are ......"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, "Brother Fu, we are from the government, this time we are here, it is the explosion of Lu Yuanwai's manor, there are some questions, I want to ask Brother Fu for advice." ā
Hearing this, Fu Ming's eyes suddenly changed, and a trace of panic suddenly surged up.
Beside him, there was a faint trace of disgust in his wife's eyes, which flashed away.
"I see, please be seated. ā
"Brother Fu, don't be polite, you can sit too. Chen Yutian said with a smile.
However, when Fu Ming saw this, he stood with some trepidation, and hugged his fists at Chen Yutian again and again, "Adults, don't torture the villain, just ask me to pay Er." ā
Chen Yutian looked at Fu Ming's frightened look and was a little silent.
He could see that Fu Ming was really panicked, not because he was afraid of himself, but because of his official identity.
This kind of thing is not uncommon among ordinary people like Fu Ming. Even he himself has seen it many times.
But no matter how many times, every time he saw such a look, his heart was inexplicably sad.
Fear it like a wolf, fear it like a tiger and a leopard.
This is the impression left by the people in the government on the people!
What is the difference between such an impression and those vicious bandits who burn, kill, loot, and kill people like hemp!
Thinking of this, Chen Yutian sighed, but then, he suddenly smiled slightly.
In this case, it is up to me to change the impression of the government in the minds of the people!
He smiled at Fu Ming, and reached out to hold Fu Ming's slightly dry hands, "Brother Fu, this is not in the official yamen, and I am not wearing an official robe, so big brother, you don't have to be so formal, just treat me as a little brother younger than you." Come, sit!"
As he spoke, he pulled Fu Ming to sit down.
Although there was still a vague look of panic in Fu Ming's eyes, it was much better than before. Beside him, Fu Ming's wife looked at Chen Yutian, but her eyes changed slightly.
"Brother Fu, the little brother asked straight to the point. Chen Yutian looked at Fu Ming with a smile and spoke.
"If you have any questions, just ask. The panic in Fu Ming's heart has obviously decreased a lot, and he has a lot more confidence to speak than he is.
"I don't know what happened on the night of the explosion, how much do you remember?" asked Tatsu Yutian.
