Chen Yutian sat alone in the study, flipping through the files. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Starting from Li Yuan, there have been eight deceased people in this case, but the clues of the murderer are still pitiful.

It is less than half a month away from the dedication to the king!

But the only useful clues in hand are the footprints left at the scene of the murder of Ma Zhiyun's wife.

Just relying on one footprint, trying to find the murderer in the vast sea of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

So, Chen Yutian once again opened the file of the previous case, wanting to find new clues from it.

Among the many cases, Chen Yutian was most impressed by the murder of Jia Zheng!

It was not only the first case he came to Lingshui County to investigate, but also the only case in this serial murder case that used techniques.

That's a bit weird.

Chen Yutian carefully looked at the file, and carefully recalled some doubts about Jia Zheng's case.

Thinking about it, he finally remembered that in this case, there was a suspicion that he had ignored for a long time.

That was a suspicion that was ignored when speculating on the murder method in Jia Zheng's case.

At that time, when speculating about the murderer's modus operandi, he said that the murderer had been at the scene all day to create the illusion that the deceased was alive.

This speculation seemed to make sense at the time, but in retrospect, it is found that there is a huge loophole in it.

"Using that method, even if the murderer is not at the scene, he can still put the deceased to death at the desired time, so why should the murderer stay there all the time?"

"Also, why is there only this case, and clever murder methods are used?"

Chen Yutian's eyes flashed slightly.

It's really weird.

Almost all of the other deceased in this case were directly bitten to death, but this case is different.

"If the purpose of arranging the murder is to create an alibi for himself, then why does the murderer stay at the scene of the murder until the death of the deceased?"

Chen Yutian couldn't figure it out.

The murderer's behavior is so strange that it can't be judged by common sense at all.

But it's no wonder that a perverted murderer who can be so mad that he bites the other party to death is indeed difficult to guess.

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Chen Yutian shook his head.

"The fact that the murderer stayed at the scene is also an assumption, if the murderer was not in the house at the time of the crime, then what would happen?"

He changed his perspective and continued to think.

If this is the case, then it is obvious that the murderer's purpose in arranging the murder is to create an alibi for himself.

Then the real murderer should be hidden in Jiafu!!

And it should be someone who had contact with the deceased on the day of the crime!

And there are three such people!

The two maids who are responsible for delivering the food and Jia Shi.

Among the three, the Jia family is the most unlikely, so the most suspicious are the two maids.

But there is another question, if the murderer is one of the two maids, then how did they do the voice of the deceased that they heard outside the door?

The real murderer can't speak!

Because, as soon as he speaks, he will expose himself!

So how did Jia Zheng's voice come out?

At that time, Jia Zheng had already been hung on the beams of the house, and even if he had not lost his breath, it was impossible to make a sound.

Chen Yutian's heart sank.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of the murder scene full of traces in the case of Ma Zhiyun's wife.

"Two different people set up the scene...... Could it be ......"

The corners of Chen Yutian's mouth lifted a bright smile.

"I see, I finally understood. ”

......

......

Jia Mansion, study.

The door, which had been closed for several days, creaked open, and the long-lost sunlight shone into the room through the crack in the door, bringing the long-lost light.

The room is basically the same as it was on the night of the crime, in fact, since the murder, the Jia Mansion has sealed this room and no one is allowed to enter.

Today, it is the first time that the lockdown has been lifted.

"There's Mrs. Law. Chen Yutian looked at the Jia family on the side and chuckled.

Jia Shi also smiled and said: "Lord Chen is polite, as long as it is beneficial to solve the case, the concubine will not dare to disobey." ”

Chen Yutian looked around and found that Jia's face was different, so he smiled and said, "If Madame has something important, you can go and get busy first, and this county is just a casual look." ”

"My lord, please take it, and the concubine will come when she goes. ”

Jia Shi smiled embarrassedly, then confessed and was about to leave.

"If it is convenient for Madame, you can first invite the two maids who delivered the food on the day of the crime to come here, and the county has some questions to ask. Chen Yutian said again.

Jia nodded and left.

A moment later, the two maids who had seen it on the day of the crime came to the study, and Chen Yutian inquired, only to know that one of the two was called Chunxiang and the other was called Meixiang.

The girl called Chunxiang is slightly baby fat, with a round face and a sharp nose, although it is not stunning, but it gives people a very special beauty.

In comparison, the girl named Mei Xiang seems to be extremely ordinary.

"You two, can you tell us in detail what you did on the morning of the crime, where and where can anyone prove it?" Chen Yutian looked at the two of them and asked majestically.

Haruka thought for a moment and replied, "I take care of my wife's daily life as usual, but because my wife suddenly wanted to eat the Wu Ji baked cakes at the entrance of the street that morning, I went out to buy the baked cakes." Both the housekeeper and the owner of the biscuit stall can testify. ”

Chen Yutian nodded, looked at Mei Xiang on the side, and asked, "What about you?"

"I was ordered by my wife to go to the back garden to pick peaches, but there was no one in the back garden, so no one saw me pick peaches, but in this matter, the girls around my wife can testify, and when I picked the peaches back, they all saw them. Mei Xiang said.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, noncommittal to the alibi provided by the two, but left the two in the study and were not allowed to go out.

Immediately, he left the study by himself and went outside to verify the alibi of the two.

He first came to the gate to ask the housekeeper who was guarding the door, and according to the housekeeper, he did see Haruka leave that day, and when he returned, he did carry a box of baked cakes.

Jia also admitted that she did let Chunxiang buy Wuji baked cakes that day, and also asked Meixiang to pick peaches in the back garden, because she likes to eat peaches the most.

The maids around Jia's side also proved that they had seen Mei Xiang pick back the peaches.

The alibi of both was no problem, even perfect!

The murderer could never be one of them!!

But Chen Yutian felt strange, if the murderer was not one of them, then who would it be?

Could it be that your own speculation is wrong?

Chen Yutian suspected in his heart, and at this moment, he suddenly saw that there was a large flower garden opposite the study where the murder occurred.

In the flower garden, there is a florist who is busy.

Chen Yutian looked at the flower garden and groaned.

On the day of the murder, his attention was completely focused on the murder scene, but he completely ignored the flowerbed and the gardener in it.

If the gardener had been working in this flower garden all along, then perhaps he had seen something on the day of the murder......

Chen Yutian thought in his heart, walked towards the gardener, and when he got closer, he found that the gardener was a man who was more than half a hundred years old, and his hair was white.

"Uncle, I'm polite. Chen Yutian saluted respectfully to the gardener.

The gardener's busy hand paused suddenly, raised his head slightly, and Chen Yutian saw a face full of vicissitudes, weathered and full of wrinkles.

"My lord, is there something wrong?" the gardener glanced up at Chen Yutian, then lowered his head again and continued to be busy.

Chen Yutian frowned slightly, this gardener actually knew his identity, which made him a little surprised.

But after thinking about it, he had been to Jiafu many times, and perhaps this gardener had seen him, so he knew him and knew his identity.

"Uncle, have you been taking care of these flowers and plants here all along?" Thinking of this, Chen Yutian continued to ask.

The gardener didn't look up, still fiddling with the pot of chrysanthemums in his hand, and nodded: "Yes! These flowers are Madame's favorite, and they must be taken care of every day!"

Chen Yutian nodded slightly: "Then you should also take care of these flowers and plants here on the day of the crime?"

The gardener still didn't look up, fiddling with another pot of chrysanthemum, and nodded slightly.

"Then, I don't know if any suspicious people you saw here enter the master's study on the day of the crime?" Chen Yutian continued to ask with a smile on his face.

"Suspicious person?" The gardener's hand tending to the flowers and plants paused slightly, and he glanced up at Chen Yutian, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"No, I remember very well, almost no one entered the master's study that day, except for the maid who brought tea at noon and in the morning. ”

"And that morning, the master ordered that no one be allowed to enter the study without permission. ”

Chen Yutian didn't hear what he said in the second half of the sentence at all, and when he heard the sentence "There was a maid who brought tea in the morning and noon", his eyes flashed!

"What? You said that the maid also brought tea in the morning?"

"Yes, I remember it was the time of the hour...... A maid came into the master's study with tea, and came out after a while. The gardener looked up and thought for a moment.

"Do you remember which maid it was?" Chen Yutian hurriedly asked.

The gardener shook his head: "I don't remember." There are hundreds of maids in this house, and they are all wearing the same clothes, I really can't remember the maid who is it. ”

A faint hint of loss flashed in Chen Yutian's eyes.

I thought I could find a new clue this time, but I didn't expect it to be an empty joy.

"However, I seem to have an impression of that maid. The old gardener touched his gray beard.

"Really, what does she look like?"

"What do you look like...... I don't remember. But it seems to be one of the two maids who just entered. As for which one it is, I really don't know. The old gardener shook his head slightly.

But Chen Yutian smiled.

According to the old gardener's words, he finally knew who the real culprit was.

But now, he still needs to go somewhere.

The Wu Kee Baked Cake Shop at the corner of the street!
