Chapter 16: The Truth

Jiang Kui immediately interrupted: "Wait, the murderer entered the room at that time, why didn't Zhao Chengde feel anything at all? How did the murderer enter the room? If he didn't have the ultimate light skills, how could he get to the second floor?"

Su Zhuo smiled and said, "The murderer doesn't need to be extremely light, but climbed to the second floor from this big tree in the yard." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone was sitting in the lobby at that time, and we couldn't see it. However, only one person could see the courtyard from the place where he was sitting at that time, which means that he must have nothing to do with the murderer! As for Zhao Chengde, he was not aware at all, and the reason was in the pinhole in his shoulder and the torn pillow in the room!"

Everyone was a little confused, and they didn't know what it had to do with what pillow. Ma Zhen was a little stunned, and said: "The needle was drugged and hidden in the pillow, Zhao Chengde was the most careless, and he would be pricked if he was not careful when he went to bed!"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "That's right!"

Ma Zhen asked again: "But how do they know that the needle will definitely be able to pierce Zhao Chengde? If it were someone else, if they touched it casually, they would definitely be exposed." ”

Su Zhuo said: "That's right, so Hu Guang naturally has to be lured out, so that this plan can be implemented." The murderer entered the room and found that Zhao Chengde was unconscious, so he bolted the door and hid in the room. It wasn't until the second half of the night that Zhao Chengde was killed, which is why the blood in the room clotted more slowly than outside. And in order to prevent the murderer's method of fascinating Zhao Chengde from being exposed prematurely, he had to take out the needle. Maybe it's the cotton wool in the pillow that gets tangled in it, but the needle is stuck in it, so the murderer wants to tear the pillow apart!"

Jiang Kui said: "Then how did the murderer lock the door from the outside?"

Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the murderer to lock the door from the outside, but to climb out of the window!"

Jiang Kui said angrily: "Didn't you say that the murderer would never have jumped out of the window? Why did he say such things at this time?"

Ma Zhen nodded and said, "Su Gongzi's analysis was correct at that time, but I saw the thief's light skills last night, so it is not impossible for him to jump out of the window!"

Su Zhuo still shook his head and said, "If that thief really has such skills, why bother so much? The murderer climbed down after dawn with the old ladder in the firewood shed!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all said, "It's so simple?" Jiang Kui said angrily: "Fart! Didn't you say that the murderer didn't leave footprints? What's going on?"

The corners of Su Zhuo's mouth raised, and he said, "Who said that the murderer didn't leave footprints? It's just that we didn't pay attention!"

Everyone was a little confused, and Wang Shangui suddenly said: "No, everyone was obviously there that day, it is impossible not to notice the footprints of the murderer!"

Su said clumsily: "No, we did ignore it. At that time, in addition to Hu Guang's special footprints on the ground, there was also a person's footprints, and that was the shopkeeper Chen who was the first to find the corpse!" Su Zhuo turned around and pointed to the shopkeeper Chen who was leaning against the counter, startling this obscene middle-aged man.

Ma Zhen also couldn't believe it, and said, "You mean that the murderer is the shopkeeper Chen?"

Su Zhuo Zhengse said: "No! there are six murderers!" Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little thirsty, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, and then said: "These six people are Wu Chang, the Feng brothers and sisters, Zhu Niang, the shopkeeper Chen and Xiao Wuzi!"

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Su Zhuo in a daze, just thinking that he was crazy. Wu Chang was stunned and said, "Brother Su, don't talk nonsense......"

Su Zhuo smiled: "How can I talk nonsense? Shopkeeper Chen climbed down from the second floor, put away the ladder, and then pretended to find the body, so that no one would suspect his footprints at the scene, it was really cleverly designed." When Shopkeeper Chen found the body yesterday morning, he was wearing a robe, presumably to cover up the blood stains on his body. However, he forgot that the soles of his shoes were also stained with blood, so he left a few more footprints on the ground with faint blood stains. At that time, we all thought it was Hu Guang's blood, but Hu Guang died in the middle of the night, and the blood had begun to coagulate, how could it leave a mark on the soles of Chen's shopkeepers' feet?

"And I also noticed that the old wooden ladder in the wood shed had obviously been abandoned for a long time, so the side that was pressed against the ground began to rot, and the outside was moss. But at that time, the mossy side of the wooden ladder was pressed on the ground, and the rotten side was exposed, isn't this a big flaw?"

Everyone suddenly realized, Ma Zhen said: "I see, this Zhao Chengde's death makes sense, so how did Hu Guang die? According to what you said, Shopkeeper Chen hid in the room all night, and it is absolutely impossible to go downstairs to kill Hu Guang!"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "That's right, Hu Guang died at the hands of Zhu Niang and Xiao Wuzi! Everyone saw Hu Guang unclean hands and feet of Zhu Niang the night before, and Zhu Niang was not angry at that time. This is not that Zhu Niang is used to seeing Fengyue, but to lure Hu Guang into being fooled. That night, Hu Guang didn't call to open the door, and went downstairs, which Lin Dong saw with his own eyes. But why Hu Guang went downstairs did not make it clear. And why did Hu Guang go to the firewood shed? It must have been an appointment with Zhu Niang! Hu Guang thought that he could have an affair, but who knew that Xiao Wuzi was hiding by the pyre at that time, and suddenly beat Hu Guang to death. Then Zhu Niang and Xiao Wuzi set up the ladder to facilitate the escape of the shopkeeper Chen. ”

Xiao Wuzi snorted and said angrily: "You are just fabricating this out of thin air, is there any evidence?"

Su Zhuo said: "I naturally have evidence, do you remember what clothes he wore when he saw Shopkeeper Chen on the first day?"

Everyone looked at each other in a daze, and they couldn't remember it at all.

Su Zhuo replied: "It's a lake green silk shirt." As he spoke, he took out a small strip of cloth from his bosom, which was a piece of green satin material. He continued: "This is what I found in the tree this morning. I was trying to find out if the thief had left any clues last night, but I stumbled upon this and convinced me of my own inference. Are you afraid that if that needle fails to stun Zhao Chengde, you enter the house through the main entrance, and there is an excuse to prevaricate, so you climbed to the second floor with great difficulty, but you didn't expect to leave this evidence!"

Shopkeeper Chen trembled, not knowing how to answer. Su Zhuo said again: "Zhu Niang, do you remember the situation when I met you yesterday morning? At that time, you just got up and came out of the room, but why did I see that the soles of your shoes and the hem of your skirt were stained with mud, and they were already dry! The day before yesterday, you didn't leave this lobby for a single step, why did your dress get dirt? This can only be stained if you ran out in the middle of the night. These two **** have no time to wash clothes, and the dress is still in the room, right?"

Zhu Niang quibbled: "A strip of rags, a piece of dirty clothes can prove that we have killed someone?"

Jiang Kui said: "Yes, I don't believe that this kid can kill Hu Guang!"

Su Zhuo said: "I said that Hu Guang also has a pinhole in his shoulder, which means that he is also stunned." Zhu Niang's figure is far beyond Hu Guang's shoulders, so naturally she will not be pierced. But Mr. Jiang, I guess you should remember a skill called blowing arrows, right?"

Jiang Kui and several of his subordinates were dumbfounded, and Jiang Kui said in a trembling voice: "What...... What ......"

Su Zhuo said: "Blowing arrows is to hide the needle in a thin bamboo tube and shoot the needle out with mouth blowing. This is a hunting technique that Orions in the Miao and Guizhou areas are good at. Xiao Wuzi is a hunter at all, and he is good at hunting wild meat with blowing arrows. The game we ate the night before must have been caught by Xiao Wuzi. He used a blow arrow to stun Hu Guang, and naturally he could kill Hu Guang. The blow arrow used by Xiao Wuzi was the guy he was eating, and it must have not been discarded, and it must still be hidden in his room, right? Since a rag can't be proven, can this murder weapon be proven?"

The three of them were dumbfounded and speechless. Jiang Kui shouted loudly and said angrily: "It turns out that it is really you! Wang Shangui, don't do it yet!" The two slapped the table, drew their knives and got up, and looked at Zhu Niang and the others angrily.
