Guarding the tenants in the lobby, although it was an order given by Su Qinghe personally, it was extremely difficult to carry it out.

Su Qinghe had only left less than a stick of incense, and some people couldn't hold it back, so they stood up and walked back and forth in the inn lobby, frequently trying to approach the gate to the backyard. The catchers tried to stop it, but to no avail.

Not to mention that it was a quick catch, even Hu Buxi had a headache at this time. Others can say that they can't grind their mouths, and they can always use force to suppress them. But there is a first-class master named Nie Junhuai in the corner, if he wants to take his subordinates out of this room, it is really difficult for Hu Buxi to stop him.

He wasn't afraid to have a one-on-one game with Nie Junhuai, but this small inn really couldn't afford to toss two first-class masters like this.

When Su Qinghe was there, the tenants were still somewhat afraid of the pressure of the imperial court officials, and they didn't dare to fight against it. But now that Su Qinghe ran out on his own, there were only these small catches left, and he really couldn't stop the scene.

As the time passed, the restless atmosphere in the hall grew stronger. Sitting behind the counter, Yang Xie, who was guarded by two fast catchers, brushed his hair calmly.

"Who is in charge? It's all night, can't you open the kitchen, can't you give you food?" the sturdy man in front of Hu Buxi's table slapped the table irritably. But this time, there were significantly more people who echoed him.

Just as Hu Buxi was hesitating whether he should press this man back to his seat in the same way, the curtain at the back door was lifted, and Su Qinghe finally returned to the lobby.

The crowd that was already ready to move, with the appearance of Su Qinghe, immediately quieted down, and only a few whispers remained, and they quickly calmed down.

The first thing Su Qinghe said was: "Everyone, come and go, make your own decisions, the official's investigation is over." ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people were stunned.

Nie Junhuai stroked his beard and asked, "What does Su Zhutou mean by this?"

"The case of Qincheng Inn has been closed, from this time on, if you want to stay or leave, please do whatever you want. ”

"But what about the dead man?" asked a wealthy merchant, shaking the fat off his body, "and my dart master has never been seen...... He's the one who won't die, right?"

"It's him. Su Qinghe said lightly, "He jumped off the terrace and committed suicide." ”

"What...... What?"

"I don't know how he got into your team, but he must have killed himself. Moreover, his appearance has been ruined, except for his physical shape, there is no evidence enough to match his identity, and he deliberately wants to erase his existence in the world. ”

"This and this......" The rich merchant wiped the sweat from his neck and said in disbelief: "Your Excellency, what do you say...... Is there any basis for this?"

"He fell on his back. Su Qinghe said.

The rich businessman was stunned, with a confused look on his face, obviously unable to pay attention to Su Qinghe's meaning, but he was embarrassed to ask further.

Not only him, but the other tenants also looked at each other when they heard Su Qinghe say this, not knowing what to understand.

Hu Buxi, who was sitting at the end, sighed, hated that iron could not become steel, and said: "If you fall from somewhere, you must want to turn over and face the ground first, and then use your shoulders or arms to support and cushion it! Since this person died on his back, it means that when he died, he didn't want to live at all, but just wanted to die." ”

"I was in the southwest corner of the terrace and found his footprints. Su Qinghe added, "In the terrace, there have been many people passing by, and the footprints are naturally messy and difficult to analyze. However, in the space less than a foot outside the railing, almost no one had set foot on it after the rain the night before, so a pair of complete footprints were left, which can also testify that there was no one else at that time. ”

The rich merchant's mouth opened wide, and he nodded a few times, and his puzzled look still stayed on his face.

One of the two strong dart masters behind him suddenly questioned: "The footprints are in the northwest corner, but we clearly saw the corpse lying in the middle of the outer wall, almost facing the place in the B-shaped room!"

Su Qinghe nodded and said, "You're right. It's a bit difficult to explain this, and if anyone really wants to know, come with me and I'll show you it directly. ”

The powerhouse dart master originally just said casually, but he didn't expect Su Qinghe to be so calm, and said in a panic for a while: "This, there's no need for it......"

"Why not! Your own brother, how he died, you have to make it clear!" the rich merchant said, "Besides, the three of you were originally going to Bianliang with my bodyguards, and there were changes on the way, so you can't let ...... go."

"We don't know him at all......" the catcher sighed.

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Hu Buxi's loud voice.

Anyway, it's getting late now, and you'll have to spend another night anyway, don't you want to leave at night?" asked Hu Buxi, carrying a knife.

In the corner, Nie Junhuai flicked his sleeves and nodded: "Hu Daxia is right, now we have to stay in this Qincheng Inn for one night, it is better to see how Su Zhutou solved this strange case." The old man was also interested. ”

"Let's go. Hu Buxi grinned as if he wanted to open the way for Su Qinghe, and took the lead in snatching the door.

Su Qinghe sighed secretly and followed him. When he was about to walk out of the door, he turned his head to the catcher behind the counter and motioned, "Take Yang Xie with you." ”

Although there was some surprise, the two catchers still answered yes, and then restrained Yang Xie, who had been sitting silently behind the counter, like a proprietress and escorted her behind Su Qinghe.

The group walked into the backyard and went out through the back door to the back wall of the inn. When you look up, you can see the terrace where the man in the fox mask has fallen, and the countless windows that connect to the guest rooms are neatly arranged on this wall.

There were only a dozen or so spectators who followed, Nie Junhuai, the rich merchant and his two dart masters were naturally among them. And the rest of the passengers, because Su Qinghe had already liberated the ban, most of them scattered separately.

A few people stood by the wall for a while, and then they heard the sound of clanging gangs in the back kitchen. After stopping work for a day, Rao is the owner of Qincheng Inn is kind-hearted, and this loss is indeed not small.

It was still windless at night, and the man in the fox mask had of course been removed from the mud, and now only lime had marked the place where he had been lying before, and compared it to the north-west corner of the terrace, it was indeed nearly twenty feet away from the northwest corner of the terrace.

"If you fall on your back in a normal position, you can't float out of a distance of twenty feet, right?" Hu Buxi asked first.

"If there is no wind, it is really impossible. Su Qinghe agreed.

Nie Junhuai raised his hand to the point of shoulder-width width, and smiled with a slight contempt in his eyes: "Since the rain the night before, there has been no wind in this vicinity for several days, could it be that just when he fell, there was a demonic wind?"

Su Qinghe said: "That's right, it's the demon wind." ”

Including Nie Junhuai, who asked the question, everyone was stunned.

Su Qinghe raised his head and looked at the sea of stars that were slowly turning in the night.

"This inn has a special location, the front room is low, but the back room is four stories high. Within a radius of several miles, there is only this commanding height. It is precisely because of this topography, coupled with the rain showers the night before, that an invisible turbulence has formed in this space. This turbulence is also called wind cutting, and most of the ordinary people call it demon wind. ”

"This ...... What kind of argument is this?" Hu Buxi scratched his head in confusion.

"When it's still warm in early summer, the climate in this area turns cold when the cold rain falls. It stands to reason that when the cold air sinks, it spreads in all directions and disappears quickly, leaving the whole area in balance. But the tall building hindered the movement of the air-conditioning, causing a large area of cold air to be stuffed outside the wall until it was connected to the terrace and the air could circulate. Because the temperature here is close to that above the terrace, the air flow in this area is relatively solid, and the wind flow is not felt. ”

He raised his sword and pointed it to the northwest corner of the terrace, then drew a large circle in the air and stopped at the gate of the backyard.

Here, there is a large cloud of stiff and motionless cold air, which is difficult to blend with the surrounding air, and in the courtyard, in fact, there is also a corresponding air flow, like two pillars, sandwiching this building. This situation will not last long, and when the climate changes again, it will disappear without a trace. But as it happens, everything happened in just a few days.

"A relatively condensed mass of air is actually in a dynamic equilibrium with the surrounding air, and the appearance of foreign objects will break this balance. At that time, when the cold air drops and the heating rushes, the air flow outside the pillar will rush along the root of the wall, and if you want to enter the pillar, a demonic wind will be formed. Because the form of this involvement is similar to that of a cross-cutting knife, this demon wind is called a wind cut.

And the most representative of such foreign objects is a person's body. ”

As he spoke, Su Qinghe turned to Yang Xie, whose hands were cuffed, with a serious expression.

"Like the dart master who committed suicide, or Zeng Qi, who cooperated with you to steal what I transported. ”

Yang Xie's eyebrows moved.

With no one around, the masked dart master jumped over the railing and jumped down from the northwest corner of the terrace, where he fell because of the wind shear. ”

Su Qinghe looked at Yang Xie with blazing eyes, and said, "And Zeng Qi also climbed over the railing and jumped down from it, and he was also affected by the wind cut. But unlike the deceased, Zeng Qi fell layer by layer, and each time he landed fixedly on the windowsill of a certain floor. When you finally landed in front of the C-shaped room on the third floor, you opened the window. Because his lower body is crippled, he has no feet at all, so it is impossible to leave footprints anywhere. The footprints on the window railing are indeed yours, and they are your way to lean out of the window and hold him so that he can hang upside down and go down to the C-shaped room on the second floor.

"The reason why you light three red candles in front of the window is to determine the presence and size of the wind cut, so as to achieve this miraculous practice. When Zeng Qi arrived at your window, you grabbed it, hung it upside down on the second floor, cut the window with a short blade, and then went straight into the room, stunned the brother who guarded the roster, and took the roster. ”

Hu Buxi opened his mouth in surprise: "No, aren't you right next door, why didn't you hear this voice?"

"Because, all this didn't happen in the middle of the night. Su Qinghe said word by word.

"I thought that in order to attract our attention, they waited until Wen Chuanyu lured Zhao Wu'an away before they started. In fact, everything had already happened from the first moment Zhao Wu'an left this courtyard. ”

The sound of Zeng Qi breaking into the window was perfectly covered up by Zhao Wu'an's light skills. ”

Hu Buxi couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Wu'an's thunderous step.

When he stepped up, the soles of his feet flashed.
