Shen Ci moved the lantern closer to let the man see clearly the wound on He Shi.Jun Ziyou remained silent, wiped off the blood on his hands with a handkerchief, put both hands on He Shi's shoulders from behind, and asked in a deep voice: "It's all here, don't you plan to tell the truth?"

"Master, what do you mean? I was hit on the head and almost died."

The gentleman swam up and glanced around the old elm tree. The hemp rope he was hanging on just now was still hanging on the branch and was swinging back and forth in the wind. There was no padding under his feet. Obviously, it was impossible for He Shi to hang himself up of.

"Sir, the branch is so high that he can't touch the noose when he stands up. How could he go up by himself?"

Listening to Shen Ci helping him speak, He Shi quibbled: "That's right, don't you see how tall it is? If it works, why don't you try it yourself!"

As soon as he finished yelling, Jun Ziyou approached with a smile on his face, his whole body suffused with murderous intent, he even grabbed his hair and forced him to look up at the noose that almost strangled him.

"It seems that you can't wait to see me expose your tricks, right? The real murderer who killed Xiao Chong, Wang Dahai, Doudou's father, and Zhou Wan'an, He Shi."

"you……"

"Me? What am I, did I say something wrong?"

He Shi was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, but Shen Ci hadn't figured it out yet, so he stupidly defended others, "Sir, aside from the previous case, it's obviously not something he can do by himself just because he was victimized today." Come on, is it possible that he has any accomplices or accomplices?"

"There are indeed accomplices, but today the accomplices did not provide him with any useful help, so the case of He Shi's victimization is a farce directed and acted by himself."

He Shi shouted angrily: "Evidence, evidence! Even if you are an official, you can't slander people with empty teeth, saying that I killed people, where is the evidence!"

At this time, Xiao Beicheng, who had been watching the show for a long time, sat by the flower bed under the old elm tree, lit a cigarette, took a puff leisurely, and said: "You really treat others as fools, your injury is How did it happen, I really don’t have any idea in my heart?”

Jun Ziyou pretended to bow to the person, "My lord is really wise, you can tell the difference just by looking at the blood stains on my hands."

"That's natural. If a person is knocked out on the back of the head by a heavy blow while walking on the road, the preferred blunt weapon is naturally a wooden stick or something that is light in weight and easy to handle. The weight of the stone, so as to ensure that if you hit it, you will be knocked unconscious, avoiding the danger of being seen. But just now when Ziyou touched your wound, the blood stained on his hand was the same shade, It obviously does not match the appearance after the stick and stone attack."

Junziyou looked at his hands, and echoed, "Indeed, no matter whether it is a wooden stick or a stone, wounds of different depths will be left after the blow, and the blood stains have different colors when they solidify. Your wound can only be caused by being hit by a relatively flat stone."

Xiao Beicheng said again: "This village is not very rich, and the most magnificent houses are not built with blue bricks, so you can't find any usable bricks. In this case, your injury can only be..."

"Created by hitting the wall or the ground by itself."

The two looked at each other, and they knew that the other's guess was in line with what they thought, and it was considered a tacit understanding.

"If you send someone to look for it now, it won't be long before you find your blood stains somewhere, right? But seeing how badly you've been injured, the place shouldn't be too far from here, otherwise you can walk after being hit on the head It's hard to come here when you're wobbly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yanqing noticed something strange in the corner of a house, and waved at the person, "This is it, look, there is blood here."

Jun Ziyou turned his head and smiled confidently, "Look, what I said."

He Shi still didn't give up, "Just, even if I hurt my head, how can you explain that I came here? The old elm tree is so tall, I couldn't have jumped up it myself, right?"

"You're right, you went up by yourself. But instead of jumping, you climbed up."

The gentleman gave a wink, and Shen Ci climbed up very consciously. As long as he didn't have anything to do with the supernatural things of gods, ghosts, and ghosts, he would become more courageous. Thick branch, after checking it, reported back, "My lord, sir, there is some undried mud on it, it must be someone who came up there."

He Shi stood up abruptly. He was still dizzy because of the impact on his head. He staggered and nearly fell down, but no one was willing to pity him and help him.

"I... if I jumped off with a rope on it, I would have broken my own neck."

"That's why you hung the rope so high and shortened the height of the fall as much as possible, which made it very difficult for the villagers to rescue you, didn't you?"

"But...but I have no reason, yes, I have no reason to do this!"

At this critical moment, Xiao Beicheng spoke again, "Isn't there a reason?"

"The dead crazy girl and the female victims in several cases are your reasons."

As soon as these words came out, He Shi's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't blush to refute.

He cried hoarsely, and he looked particularly frightening in the dark night, as if regretful and resentful.

He cried for a long time, and everyone listened for a long time. Finally, Su Shi'an also rushed over with the results of his investigation, and presented the dossier in front of Xiao Beicheng and Junziyou.

"My lord, sir, it has been found out that He Shi's original surname is Liu. When he was young, because his family was poor and could not afford to support a boy, he was adopted by his parents to a family with the surname He. Later, when the He family collapsed, he became an orphan. And the first Cuiniang, who was blamed by Xiao Chong in a case, also has the surname of Liu."

Xiao Beicheng slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth, his eyes were calm and did not fluctuate at all, "It seems that this is your motive for killing people. But you also killed a girl yourself, and you, who also bear the debt of life, have What qualifications do you have for the heavens?"

"No! I didn't kill her, I didn't do it!"

Su Shi'an stomped his feet angrily, "You still refuse to admit it, do you want to say that the Gusu government has wronged you?"

"No, it wasn't me, she...she wasn't killed by me, it was Zhou Wanan!"

"You fart! Zhou Wan'an is an honest man and has always been a model of a good son in the village. Although he is not married at [-], he has been taking care of his elderly mother in a law-abiding manner. He has never done anything out of the ordinary. You still want to frame a good man No!"

"Heh, are you a good person... The more innocent and good people look like this, the more unbelievable it is for them to do evil things, and those who seem to do all kinds of evil will be considered to have ulterior motives even when they do good things. Is the world fair!"

Facing He Shi's questioning, Jun Ziyou only said: "It's not fair! But since you have done something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences of yourself forever. Isn't this the retribution you deserve!"

After being reprimanded, He Shi cried again, thinking of what he had done, knowing that he did not deserve to be forgiven, put his hands in front of him, and knelt down in front of that person.

"My lord, it is said that people who are about to die speak good words. Before I die, I want to confess my crimes and expose the evil deeds of those people. If I explain everything in detail, you...will you believe me?" ?"

"You don't need to tell me, there is no reason for me to intervene in the trial of the Gusu government office. What do you think I am now..."

With a wry smile, Junziyou untied the waist card of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, stared at it for a long time, held it tightly, and suddenly figured it out, and wanted to throw it into the river outside the village. Everything I had before.

But he raised his hand, and before he could throw the thing out, he felt his hand being grabbed, and it was difficult to move.

Xiao Beicheng strangled his wrist, took the waist badge from him, wiped it lovingly like a treasure, and put it in his sleeve pocket.

"No matter how you say it, it still carries the memories of the past, why throw it away."

Keep it, maybe it will be useful in the future.

Regarding the outcome of the case, He Shi confessed the truth about the mad girl's death and his motive for killing in prison.

It turned out that He Shi moved to the village to find Cuiniang. In the process of gradually getting to know the villagers, he found that Xiao Chong was not the only one who committed a serious crime that deserved to be killed, so he used the legend of Piao Diaozi to kill four people in a row within a year. People, from Xiao Chong to Daddy Doudou, to Wang Dahai, are all people who deserve to be killed if they lose to a woman.

But Zhou Wanan is a special case.

"He Shi confessed that after the night when he killed Xiao's father and son, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he burned a knife twice and passed out drunk at the entrance of the village. He finally woke up in the middle of the night and returned home. On the way home, I ran into Zhou Wanan doing something wrong to the crazy girl, so I drove away Zhou Wanan, but the crazy girl was in a bad state of mind, and mistakenly regarded He Shi as her murderer, so..."

"He Shi endured the innocent injustice, and began to hate the real prisoner Zhou Wan'an."

Gentleman You flipped through the ledger left by his father, and replied absent-mindedly, as if he had never listened to Su Shi'an's briefing carefully from the beginning to the end, but he had guessed such a secret a long time ago.

"That's what he said, but he said that he had a reason to kill Zhou Wanan."

"Because the one who killed the crazy girl was Zhou Wan'an."

Speaking of this, even Xiao Beicheng, who closed his eyes and meditated, couldn't help looking up at him.Su Shi'an was dumbfounded, and probably wanted to ask him why he knew this, but Jun Ziyou smiled slightly, and took out a miscellaneous collection and shook it at people.

"This story is a strange story written by my father, including the legend of Piao Diaozi. I think He Shi saw these relics left by my father in the warehouse of the old village chief's house, so he thought of using Piao Diao The legend of Piao Diao Zi created the illusion of a serial murder case, which is why the legend of Piao Diao Zi has been circulated for a long time, but it has only been believed in recent years."

Xiao Beicheng said slowly: "I remember you also said that He Shi has another accomplice, is it really good if we don't arrest him together?"

"Well, what is certain is that that person did things unintentionally, and did not intend to become his pawn. It would be pitiful to be convicted."

As he said that, Jun Ziyou sorted out all the books and sundries piled on the ground, recalling the day when they first saw Piao Diaozi under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village, Xiao Beicheng knew it.

"So it was him..."

Su Shi'an was still confused, "Who? Who is it? What are you talking about?"

Jun Ziyou made a silent gesture towards him, and said with a smile: "Then you have to promise me that you won't hold him accountable for his crimes."

"Those who don't know are innocent. If they are being used, of course He Shi, the culprit, must be blamed."

"With your words, I am relieved. In fact, the person who was accidentally used by He Shi was the old village chief Wang Fugui. We were eager to go out because we found Piao Diaozi appeared that day, but the old village chief stopped us." ?Actually, at that time, the old village head came to warn us not to meet Piao Diaozi out of kindness, and inadvertently covered He Shi."

"However, if the person hanging up is He Shi himself, how can he escape, and how can he leave such marks on the ground?"

Jun Ziyou patted the dust on his hands, took out a bundle of hemp rope from the corner, and waved to the person.Su Shi'an understood, so he took it, and threw one end of the rope onto the beam, so that the whole hemp rope passed through the beam.

Xiao Beicheng poured himself a cup of tea, called "Shen Ci" during the tea tasting, and called in the little guard who knew nothing about it.

Junziyou asked: "Shen Ci, if I tie a knot in this rope and hang your neck up, what will happen to you?"

Shen Ci stomped his feet angrily, "Needless to say, he must have been hanged like He Shi!"

"Well said, but He Shi was not hanged to death. In fact, when I arrived at He Shi's house, I already began to suspect that he did this, but the hemp rope in his house is very long, even if it was hung according to the day The length is about the same, and there will be a long section left over, if it was really done by him, where is the remaining hemp rope used?"

While talking, he pulled Shen Ci closer, and wrapped the hemp rope around his armpits and shoulders, which just made a fork shape, and it was very stable to fix heavy objects.

"If it's like me, moving the focus from the neck to the armpits, and then tying the noose around the back of the neck, it looks like it's hanging around the neck, doesn't it?"

Shen Ci was still fiddling with the hemp rope wrapped around his body with some doubts, "Is this method really feasible, and won't it look strange when you hang it up..."

"of course."

Jun Ziyou called two more guards to help hang Shen Ci on the beam. After fixing the position of the rope, Shen Ci really seemed to be hung up by a neck. If he didn't move, he really looked like a dead person .

But Xiao Beicheng looked at his appearance, and quickly questioned, "Didn't you notice that after he was hung up, his upper body leaned forward, and he was also very stiff."

The man nodded, raised his hand and slapped Shen Ci's ass loudly, "Did you hear me, don't be too stiff, relax a bit, and let your body sag naturally."

It turned out that Shen Ci had never done such a thing close to death. He was too nervous, his body tensed up involuntarily, and both legs pushed up like a wooden stick.

After listening to Jun Ziyou's words, he obediently relaxed his body. Even so, the position below the waist sagged naturally, and the upper body still leaned forward due to being hung under the armpits.

"My lord, the reason why we didn't find anything strange at that time was very simple, because He Shi was facing us, or his back was facing us." As he spoke, he turned Shen Ci's body and turned the latter's back to Xiao Beicheng, "This way it will look shorter, but it won't look unusual from a distance."

"If that's the case, how does he keep his body from turning sideways towards us when the wind blows?"

"The answer is very simple, he can't control it at all." Jun Ziyou smiled at the people, full of confidence, "My lord still remembers that I found something wrong with the body hanging on the tree that day, so I was eager to go and have a look. But I was stopped by the old village head. At that time, there was a wind blowing and turned He Shi's face, so I discovered the clue."

Shen Ci was still hanging on the beam, and he was not in a hurry to get down, so he hurriedly asked, "But when Mr. Wang went to find someone, He Shi had already disappeared, and there were only traces of the shoes of the dead woman on the ground, what is going to happen?" What about an explanation?"

"It's also very simple, because the string of footprints is simply an illusion created to confuse us."

"It's a false impression... But the shoes of the corpse girl are unique in the world, and the round and big marks are not something ordinary people can leave, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. I remember that there was a long-abandoned dyeing workshop in the village. A waterwheel was built to bring the river water into the workshop for work. The weight to be moved, and the ladle used to pass water on it is also made into a shape with an upper arc and a straight lower end, which should be similar to the shape of the ground. As long as you push the runner of the water wheel, you can easily leave such marks on the ground .”

Su Shi'an frowned, and thought for a long time, "But if that's the case, he would bring the wheel and take it away, leaving traces along the way. Why is it only under the old elm tree..."

"Master Su is confused, have you forgotten? Only the soil under the old elm tree has been sprinkled with water, and the rest of the place is dry and hard dry soil. Even if traces are left, it is just a layer of floating dust. It blows away."

"So that's it...then more dew accumulated the next day because he wanted to quickly erase the traces so that we would not be able to find that they were traces left by the waterwheel? Sanguier, hurry up and check the old man Where is the waterwheel of the dyeing workshop now!"

The yacha was ordered to go, and everyone rushed back after drinking a few cups of tea, and informed people: "My lord, my lord, it is true that there are traces of soil on the waterwheel runners of the old dyeing workshop. It is a used evidence. Now the brothers have sent the things back to the government office, and they are waiting for the adults to inspect them."

At this moment, Shenci is still hanging on the beam, and he has not yet understood the mystery, "Sir, I still don't understand, why do you use a water truck to forge fake footprints?"

"Naturally, it was to lead us astray. He Shi also knew that the cadaver girl had a pair of unique shoes in the world, so he wanted to put the blame on them, but he didn't expect that he would expose the suspicion."

Speaking of this, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. Sister Suhua Sujin entered the door and saluted Xiao Beicheng and the gentleman. The sister took the lead to thank them first: "Thank you sir for believing that we are innocent. Please trouble sir. The little girl is grateful."

When Su Jin saw Shen Ci who was still hanging on the top, she covered her mouth and snickered, "Oh, little brother, why did you become like this, hehehe, it's so embarrassing."

Losing face in front of the girl he likes, Shen Ci felt that he couldn't hold back his face, and was eager to break free, but was stopped by Jun Ziyou halfway.

"Wait, hang on for a while, don't you want to know where He Shi went after he disappeared?"

The sinking temple was both curious and anxious, blushing and kicking his legs, "Sir, hurry up, I've been hanging on it for more than half an hour!"

This time Xiao Beicheng was teased, and one couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, causing everyone to roar with laughter.

Junzi Youxiao was out of breath, he still had a cough, and he started to get short of breath before telling the truth of the day.

"We all thought that the criminal escaped after leaving footprints, but it was not the case. He Shi left footprints to confuse us and then hung himself on a tree. Maybe the ropes on his body were tied in advance. When he arrived At the entrance of the village, after climbing up the old elm tree, we only need to tie the knot to the thick branch, and then jump down to hang ourselves in the air. When we find something unusual and are blocked by the old village chief, he will cut the knot Rope, take advantage of the trend and escape to a location that is difficult for us to find."

"Where is he? He doesn't have wings. If he escapes, his footprints will definitely be left on the muddy ground, won't he?"

Xiao Beicheng said slowly: "So, he didn't escape at all."

Instead, he hid in a high place under the cover of night, quietly observed their every move, and enjoyed the pleasure of playing with a group of people between applause.

The author has something to say: Today is still a hot day, and I stay up all night coding until my head is bald.
