see you tonight princess

Chapter 116

The warehouse was very empty, Xia Lvsi took all the evidence that could be extracted, and then she came out of the warehouse with the governor, and walked to the pergola under the big tree.

As soon as Xia Lvsi and his party came over, Xia Mengfu and Duan Lingge sat up straight. Xia Mengfu urged, "Is there a way to solve the case?"

"There are no useful clues for the time being. I am incompetent. Please punish the princess and the prime minister." Fu Yin voluntarily knelt down with a slap, and he was about to cry with a bitter face.With so many days of no progress in the case, under the watchful eye of the two nobles, how can there be any progress in an hour?This time, I am afraid that I will kneel here for three days and three nights.

So everyone's eyes were on Xia Lvsi.

Xia Lvsi had been contemplating blankly, but at this moment she suddenly became serious and quiet, and said, "I have a guess."

"What is it?" Duan Lingge stood up and walked to Xia Lusi's side, and waved to order the servant to come up with a basin to wash Xia Lusi's hands.Duan Lingge couldn't see how her delicate hands had been honed in the warehouse.

"At that time, Zhao Wu, Zhang Tian and Ma Zhizhou were stunned and locked in this warehouse. When Zhao Wu and Zhang Tian woke up for the first time, this room was not a real secret room!"

"Ah! How do you say it!" Fu Yin was shocked.

"I speculate that the murderer nailed a fake door on the wall of the warehouse. It is the one behind the shelf. When Zhang Tian and Zhao Wu woke up, because the warehouse was very dark, everyone couldn't tell the direction. They touched the door in the dark, but felt The door was locked from the outside, that's because, that's because what they touched was not the door at all, but the fake door."

"Then where is the real door?" Duan Lingge pondered, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant and dried Xia Lusi's hands.

Xia Lvsi was right on top at this time, sitting with both hands gesticulating, and she was not happy when the beauty patiently wiped her hands.So everyone was dumbfounded, because they saw Her Highness the Saintess Princess personally serving people to clean their hands, and the person who was not afraid of beheading broke away from Her Highness's hand and whispered: "Don't catch me."

Xia Lusi's thoughts were all on the logical relationship: "The real door is opposite the fake door. However, the murderer moved the wooden frame to the front of the real door, creating the illusion that there was only one wall over there. I was in the prison. At that time, I asked Zhang Tian and Zhao Wu, among them, Zhang Tian said that the wooden frame in the warehouse has a wooden backboard, and I checked carefully just now, it is an ordinary wooden frame without a backboard."

"When Zhang Tian woke up for the first time, he touched the real door in the dark, but he thought it was the back panel of the shelf. At this time, the real door can actually be opened!"

While Xia Lvsi was reasoning about the case, officials from Zhizhou's government office came. Officials from cities and counties at all levels in Jiangzhou had originally gathered in Jiangzhou City to welcome Duan Lingge. are here.

Everyone gasped when they heard Xia Lvsi's bold and bizarre guess, and they were terrified when they thought about it.Someone stammered and said, "But, but, why did the murderer design it like this? If it wasn't for Zhao Wu and Zhang Tian, ​​and the door was fastened from the inside, who was the murderer?"

Everyone present fell silent, and everyone couldn't figure it out.

Xia Lvsi was thinking, she held Duan Lingge's hand with both hands, pinched it tighter and tighter, and didn't realize that Duan Lingge was hurting.Until Lan Mo coughed softly: "Hey, Xia Shizi, you can't use force on the princess."

"Uh, uh..." Xia Lvsi looked down, and Duan Lingge's hands turned red from her pinching.She rubbed it quickly, and subconsciously wanted to raise it to her lips to kiss——

"Huh, huh, huh!" Xia Mengfu almost burst his nose when he stood aside, Xia Lvsi finally noticed his existence.

Looking around, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at her.Aha, almost public disharmony!Although everyone knew that she was the son-in-law of the eldest princess, but if she really kissed, the two women would be intimate with each other in public, it might shock everyone's eyes.

Duan Lingge's face flushed slightly, and her beautiful eyes glared at her coquettishly.Xia Lvsi clasped her shoulders slightly, and said politely, "Princess, please take a seat."

Taking two steps away from the crowd, Xia Lvsi took advantage of her not paying attention, grabbed Duan Lingge's hand and quickly put it to his lips for a "boom" kiss.

"Ha—you monkey..." Duan Lingge heard the sound of breathing in and out from behind, and turned to look at Xia Lusi, really dumbfounded.

"Ah, this..."

"The old man is terrified, terrified."

"Indecent, indecent, don't look at it."

I just love seeing you people look ignorant!Seeing the two beauties kissing each other, I blush and my heart beats, ha!The elder sister is the wife that the princess is marrying!Xia Lusi grinned.

At the same time, her mind was spinning rapidly.After helping Duan Lingge to the chair and sitting down, Xia Lusi's expression became calm and serious again: "At this moment, the murderer is the so-called Ma Zhizhou."

"Absurd, Ma Zhizhou killed himself?" Xia Mengfu was annoyed, the beautiful woman was really a disaster, she was beautiful and she was a princess, really, she made such a disaster to his idiot son!

"When Zhang Tian and Zhao Wu woke up, the Ma Zhizhou in the warehouse might not be the real Ma Zhizhou." Xia Lusi's eyes were sharp: "Zhao Wu, Zhang Tian, ​​and Ma Zhizhou all got together to seek money. In addition to being easy to deceive, the important reason for choosing them is that when someone claims that he is Ma Zhizhou, Zhao Wu and Zhang Tian can "recognize" him in the dark by the tone of his voice and words, but And he wasn't close enough to realize that Ma Zhizhou was not himself."

"After the three of them woke up, that Ma Zhizhou was very emotional, crying and shouting in rhythm, which made Zhao, Wu and Zhang Tian feel scared, thinking that the three of them would be killed at any time. After they found the fake door, False Zhizhou used old wooden strips as the bolts to lock the door, giving Zhao Wuzhangtian the illusion that they bolted the door and no one could get in."

"After being locked up for a whole day, Zhao Wuzhangtian was hungry and thirsty. The fake Zhizhou gave her and the others the drugged pancakes, which stunned the two of them again. Then the murderer removed the false door and put the wooden grid on it. Going back to the front of the wall, the real door was exposed. He went out through the real door, carried the real Ma Zhizhou to the warehouse, killed Ma Zhizhou, then left through the real door, and tied the lock to death with copper wire from the outside. That’s how this secret room murder was created.”

"I don't know one thing. Since the real and fake doors are on both sides of the room, Zhao Wu and Zhang Tian once knew the location of the fake door, so why didn't they suspect that the same location has become a shelf?" Fu Yin Nianxu asked.

"When a person has no reference in the dark, he can only judge left and right according to his own position. After Zhang Tian and Zhao Wu passed out, Zhang Tian once confessed that someone touched his feet at night. Therefore, it can be speculated that the murderer deliberately reversed the position. They turned their heads and feet in the same direction. So when they heard a voice outside, they stood up and ran to the left. They thought it was the direction of the door from the previous day, but in fact they ran in another direction to the real door. s position."

"Okay! Wonderful! The son is really a god!" Xiao Zhuzi applauded loudly with excitement, almost making Xia Lvsi a storyteller by Tianqiao, the plot is fascinating with ups and downs.

There was a rustle of discussion among the officials, and they all nodded in amazement.Xia Mengfu's throat was sore from coughing, so he shrank Xiao Zhuzi aside in fright.

Duan Lingge thought for a while, then said slowly: "There is a loophole in this inference."

"Your Highness, why don't you talk about it." Xia Lvsi smiled with eight white teeth.

"Since it is a double secret room, how can the murderer escape from the room and insert the bolt from the door?" Duan Lingge said.

"Hey, Ling Ge and I thought about it together. The murderer left the warehouse after the murder, so naturally he couldn't bolt the door, so this is a single-layered secret room that locks us from the outside. But the murderer wanted to let Zhao Wu Zhangtian and us All believed it was a double chamber, and he had a clever idea where he kept the bolt still on the door, but he didn't actually put the bolt in the keyway above the door frame, like that."

Xia Lusi called Xiao Zhuzi to give some instructions, and after a while, Xiao Zhuzi took a wooden board and a wooden stick, and Xia Lusi made a demonstration for everyone.

"In this way, after the murderer leaves, if someone comes to rescue people the next day. When the people in the warehouse know that someone is coming to rescue, the first reaction must be to pull the door bolt. At this time, the people inside will only think that the door bolt is They bolt it themselves, and the next day they unbolt it themselves without realizing that it wasn't bolted at all."

"But there is still a loophole in this method, that is, the people inside must pull the latch by themselves, instead of being opened from the outside." Xia Lusi pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that the people present seemed fascinated I was fascinated by it.

So Xia Lvsi winked at the people on the side, and turned to call Xiao Zhuzi over, "Let me ask you, what would you do if the warehouse door was entangled with copper wire and the person you were looking for was inside?"

Little Zhuzi said, "Cut off the copper wire quickly, open the door and go in!"

Xia Lvsi asked again: "Master Catcher, what will happen to arresting criminals in such a situation?"

"Naturally, open the door and rush in to save people."

"That's right." Xia Lvsi's eyes were sharp, "Normal thinking inertia, people's first reaction is to immediately break the door to save people. But in order to complete the layout of this secret room, the murderer must let the people inside unplug first. The door bolt. So the person who comes to save people is the key. He must first knock on the door and call for someone, and then break through the door after waking up the people inside. When he found this place that day, he was the one who knocked on the door and called for someone—— "

Xia Lusi stretched out his fingers and stood in the crowd, a tall man with a long beard and a blue-gray silk robe, Xia Lusi shouted sharply: "The biggest suspect in this case is the master of Ma Zhizhou!"

Xiao Zhuzi gave an order, and the two training regiments pressed down on the master, one on the left and one on the right.The master was unhurried: "Ma Xia's literary talents are outstanding, and he can tell a good story. Unfortunately, this is just a groundless guess, without evidence, and cannot be convinced."

The people around immediately whispered to each other.This case is bizarre, and Xia Lusi's deduction is even more unbelievable. The master said that there is no evidence, but it is true, which is really hard to judge.

Xia Lusi smiled inscrutably: "If you want evidence, what I talk about most is evidence."

She asked Xiaozhu to bring up the stone that killed Ma Zhizhou and put it on the wooden table. Xia Lvsi said: "This stone is a murder weapon. If you killed Zhizhou, there must be your fingerprints on it. You Do you recognize it?"

Fu Yin circled the stone twice: "Securing cases with fingerprints is indeed a sharp weapon for catching the real murderer, but on this stone, except for the blood of the victim Zhizhou at the sharp corner, there is no bloody fingerprints on the whole body, what should I do."

Xia Lvsi said with a smile, "I have my own way to find fingerprints."

She took a small plate presented to her by Xiaozhu, held it up and said, "This is pine soot, please have a look."

Pine smoke is the ash collected from the smoke of burning pine wood. It is fine in texture and black in color, and is used as a material for making ink.Xia Lvsi carefully spread the pine soot evenly on the stone, and then pressed the cowhide airbag to gently blow away the soot on the stone.

Everyone didn't know what she was doing, and they all looked at her curiously, until slowly, something miraculous happened, and when the soot on the stone was slowly blown away, there were a few black marks that were not blown away. A few handprints appeared on the smooth white stone.

"Wonderful... This method can actually make invisible handprints appear, it's really wonderful!" Fu Yin couldn't help admiring, and then said loudly: "Come here, take the master's handprints for comparison!"

The catcher pressed the teacher's hand and palm prints, and then brought them over immediately.Xia Lvsi compared the fingerprints on the stone with the fingerprints of the master, and several clear fingerprints matched one by one.

Fu Yin saw Xia Mengfu winking at him, and nodded knowingly: "Take the master down for strict interrogation. Come, someone, go to the master's house to search for other evidence."

This is the jurisdiction of the Jiangzhou Government Office. Now that the case has been solved and the real culprit has been found, Xia Lusi didn't say anything more.But she has always been very puzzled in her heart, the master is a weak scholar, his future is completely dependent on Zhizhou, why did he kill Zhizhou?Before Zhizhou's death, after his death, someone was behind the scenes, so what happened?Her father Xia Mengfu seems to have some connection with Fu Yin, what is it?

If Xia Lusi followed her habit when she was a criminal police officer, she must have entered the interrogation room non-stop to interrogate the master right now.But today was a long day, and it was already the time when the sun was setting. Duan Lingge was tired all day, and he ate lunch in the carriage. Although Xia Lusi ordered someone to bring the food, Duan Lingge just tasted a few mouth.

At this moment, although the beautiful woman has exquisite makeup and elegant manners, she does not detract from her beauty at all, but Xia Lvsi feels sorry for Duan Lingge's tired look after all, and she decides to return to Liuyuan.Xia Lusi carefully helped Duan Lingge into the carriage, then rode behind and followed, all the way back to Liuyuan. ?
