Chapter 10 Restoration [Thanks to the "Regardless" leader for the reward! 】
Brush!
Everyone's eyes followed Liang Yue's finger and looked in that direction. That was on the ground in the inner room, and the person lying there was the deceased in this case, Zhen Changzhi, the director of the Ministry of Industry.
"Xiao Liang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hu Tiehan was startled, "You mean the deceased helped the murderer himself?"
"He meant that if no one If the window was forcibly opened from the outside, then maybe someone opened the window from the inside." Ling Yuanbao's eyes were bright, and he seemed to be inspired, and continued: "The only person who could do this was the one who was alone in the study at that time. Mr. Zhen”
"That's right." Liang Yue smiled at Ling Yuanbao and said, "According to my guess, the murderer and Chief Zhen had some conspiracy and couldn't meet openly, so they arranged to meet in this way. When Chief Zhen opened the window to admit the murderer, , I probably never thought that the other party would kill me."
"I have also thought about this possibility, but when I think about it again, I know that it cannot stand the scrutiny." Ling Yuanbao frowned again: " Even if the murderer was let in by Chief Zhen, who could have hung up the window bolt from the inside after he went out? "
"Who said the murderer wanted to do it? "Go out through the window?" Liang Yue said: "The murderer went through the front door."
"Impossible!" Zhen Xiaohao immediately shouted: "Don't listen to his excuses. I have been kneeling outside the door and no one has opened the door!" "
Liang Yue suddenly pointed at Zhen Xiaohao: "It was you who opened the door!"
"Ah?" Zhen Xiaohao was stunned for a moment, and others around him were also stunned.
Liang Yue looked at Zhen Xiaohao and said: "At that time, he was punished by kneeling for an hour. It was getting late. He felt strange when he saw that there was no light in the study, so he opened the door and went inside to check... The light in the room was dim at that time. , He probably didn’t pay much attention to anything.”
“If he had looked up when he entered, he might have seen...” Liang Yue took a few more steps and pointed at the threshold of the study room. Above, "There is a figure crouching on the beam on this door!"
"Huh?" Following his pointing, voices of surprise rang out from around him again.
“The murderer climbed in through the backyard wall, and Chief Zhen opened the window for him and led him into the study. After the murderer killed Master Zhen, he arranged the scene and re-hung the window bolts, and he did not leave after that. If When Zhen Xiaohao opened the door and left, Zhen Xiaohao would definitely see him. But when Zhen Xiaohao opened the door, the murderer was lying on the threshold, using his hands and feet to support him. When Zhen Xiaohao entered the room, the murderer climbed out and quietly walked along the eaves. Waji, leaving over the wall is not difficult for a master warrior."
"When Zhen Xiaohao discovered his father's body, he probably wouldn't have guessed that the real murderer who killed his father was just above his head! And the person who helped the murderer open the door to escape was himself!"
With Liang Yue Speaking loudly of his speculation about the case, everyone's eyes showed surprise. Zhen Xiaohao, who was in a daze at the side, had a look of fear on his face, and a chill started to creep down his spine.
It turned out that I entered the study under the watch of the murderer?
And you even opened the door for the other party with your own hands?
Thinking of a pair of cool eyes above his head watching his footsteps, his limbs felt like poisonous snakes crawling across them, giving him a chill. If the other party is more vicious, wouldn't he also kill himself?
Fortunately, he only killed his father.
"This..." Ling Yuanbao fell into thinking, his fair face and facial features slightly wrinkled together.
She had never thought of such a possibility, and no one except Liang Yue had ever made such a conjecture. If the murderer really waited here calmly after killing someone, how cold-blooded and terrifying would he be?
If you think about it carefully, this is very reasonable.
"Captain Ling, please go to Liangjian for verification." Liang Yue pointed.
Ling Yuanbao immediately jumped up, held the beam on the door with one palm, and leaned on the beam.
After she came up, she felt something was wrong. She tilted her head and whispered to herself: "Eh? Why should I obey his orders?"
But even though he came here, she still couldn't help it. Look up.
The Zhen family lacked servants to clean it, and the beams and pillars were covered with a thick layer of accumulated dust. And among the dust, there were indeed two scratches, which were vaguely the marks of hands and feet.
"There are indeed traces of someone hiding here!" she said loudly.
There was surprise, surprise, and a little admiration in his tone. Thanks to this one guard, he was actually able to crack the secret room murder method.
No one from the Ministry of Justice, including myself, came up with it.
Ling Yuanbao did not stop there, but jumped up, climbed onto the eaves, and suddenly flipped to the roof, his figure as graceful as a swimming dragon. She bent down and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were two light footprints on the blue-black tiles on the roof.
"There are footprints here too!" she shouted again.
Below, Hu Tiehan looked at Liang Yue with bright eyes, "Boy, you are really good! You are worthy of being taught by me!"
...
After a while, everyone gathered in the study again. At this time, Liang Yue was already proud, and his identity jumped from the biggest suspect to the hero who solved the method at the scene.
When Ling Yuanbao landed, he looked at him with some admiration in his eyes, but he still said: "Until the murderer is finally found, your suspicion cannot be completely eliminated. I will not detain you for the time being. Return to the Punishment Department, but neither of you brothers can leave Longyuan City. You must report to the Punishment Department regularly."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ling, not only will I not leave, but I will do my best to help the Punishment Department solve the case. "Liang Yue said.
He meant what he said. Because as long as the real culprit is not caught for a day, the suspicion of the two brothers cannot be completely cleared. If the Holy Emperor was furious about such a serious and serious case in which a court official was killed, he would immediately put some pressure on the Ministry of Punishment and give him a deadline of a few days to solve the case. Maybe, under heavy pressure and helpless, they will turn their plans on themselves again.
As long as he enters the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he may confess his crime overnight and become the real culprit in this case.
This kind of thing has never happened before.
So for safety reasons, the case must be settled as soon as possible.
"Okay." Ling Yuanbao's expression has softened a lot, "If you have any new ideas, you can come to me at the Ministry of Justice at any time."
"No problem." Chen Ju rushed out from the side and said with a flattering smile: "I will accompany him to visit Captain Ling often."
"Get out." She was still cold to Chen Ju.
“Eh.”
The two had a straightforward exchange of words.
"There are indeed several doubtful points in this case..." Liang Yue ignored them and said directly, "The first is the letter Master Zhen read. I suspect it has a lot to do with the murderer. He is not at the scene yet. We have found it; secondly, since the murderer had the ability to arrange all this, why did he use such brutal methods to kill people? If he really wanted to disguise Master Zhen as committing suicide, it shouldn't be difficult..."
The murderer's martial arts skills were not low. If he really wanted to make Zhen Changzhi look like he committed suicide, there must be a better way. Instead of stabbing it to death with one finger and hanging it up later.
Such a disguise is like lying to a child. Who would get wounds like that from hanging? A simple autopsy will reveal the doubts, and there is no deception.
It would make sense if the murderer committed the murder with passion and arranged it in a panic. But judging by his despicable methods, he is definitely a calm and sophisticated person.
Then such behavior is a bit strange.
Simply...
It's like I deliberately led you to investigate.
Why did the murderer do this? Perhaps by thinking clearly about this issue, we can find out who the real culprit is.
"Seal up all the items here and search the house again tomorrow. Send more people to investigate Zhen Changzhi's daily relationships and see who he is secretly in contact with." Ling Yuanbao said to his subordinates Give orders one by one.
Although Capt. Ling was a little silly at times, his ideas for handling the case were also clear and Liang Yue didn't think there was any problem.
It is already impossible to identify the murderer from the scene. There are countless warriors in Shendu City, and there is no way to investigate them one by one. We can only start from Zhen Changzhi's daily relationship network.
"Wait." He suddenly remembered something and stopped the policeman who was about to seal the book on the desk over there.
“When Captain Ling’s scabbard hit the table, I felt something was wrong with the sound.” He stepped forward and rubbed the large table with his palm.
This time Ling Yuanbao did not stop him from touching, but watched quietly from the side.
Not only her, but all the personnel in the Ministry of Punishment tolerated Liang Yue's behavior. Although he usually hates the rough guys from the Imperial Guard who don't know how to solve crimes and destroys the scene, this little guard has sharp eyes and a sharp mind.
He has won the recognition of the Ministry of Punishment with his performance just now.
Liang Yue bent his fingers again and tapped them twice with his knuckles.
Dong-dong.
Now everyone noticed something was wrong.
This desk seems to be hollow?
Liang Yue looked around, reached down and touched, and sure enough he felt a narrow hole. He inserted his middle finger and ring finger, explored with both fingers, and soon found a bulge, and dug hard.
Snap.
A drawer popped out from the middle of the desk!
There is indeed a trap!
There is only a dark copper-colored key in this box, which glows with a hint of oil in the dim light.
Thanks to "No matter what, no matter what", I have become the eighth VIP leader in this book, and I am also a very familiar old friend. Thank you.
