I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

18 It's Zi Gu Chun

The little fellow was frightened by Bai Yutang, Dang Lian knelt down on his knees, shouting for injustice repeatedly.

Xie Ling wanted to explain to the boy that Dali Temple generally does not handle cases like this, let alone wronging good people casually.But the boy who listened to his words was not comforted, but panicked even more inexplicably.

Jiang Lin originally only thought that Bai Yutang looked like a well-known animation, but he had to reprimand him on the face: "Look at you scaring people, can't you just say it?"

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes and started his own reasoning, saying: "First of all, the latches in the rooms of the Ping'an Tavern are made of a special style, and they cannot be opened by rubbing or picking like ordinary latches. Therefore, the perpetrators need to knock on shopkeeper Peng first. door, use the Ecstasy Powder when it is unaware."

"The people who know when shopkeeper Peng will stay alone in the room and can easily let the other party open the door are probably people that shopkeeper Peng is familiar with. In this way, the guys in the shop will have a lot of suspicion."

Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang's statement was reasonable, and asked again: "Then how did the murderer forge the secret room and create the illusion that the shopkeeper hanged himself in front of so many people?"

"It's also simple." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "With these things piled up in front of the door, and finding a piece of fine hemp rope, Fifth Master, I can demonstrate it to you."

The scene of the crime should not be disturbed, so Jiang Lin and the others planned to requisition the rooms with the same layout on the east and west sides.

The guest in the west room was a farmer, and when he saw the government handling the case, he quickly agreed. The guest in the east room was an examinee, who said he wanted to study and didn't want to be disturbed.

But Bai Yutang threw a silver coin to the examinee, sent him downstairs to study, and requisitioned the other's room very forcefully.

Jiang Lin asked him why, and Bai Yutang said it was because the examinee's room was relatively clean, and there was a wooden box containing books in it, which was about the same size as the one at the door of shopkeeper Peng's room.

As soon as the examinee left, Bai Yutang took his own knife handle and knocked it, and removed half of the door bolt from his room.Before everyone had time to say anything, Bai Yutang ordered: "Speak to the other guys and find someone to repair the door, and the fee will be charged to the client named Jin in Tianzihao."

Seeing that the two guys echoed Bai Yutang's words repeatedly, Jiang Lin knew that Bai Yutang had become a senior member in this Ping'an Tavern these days.

Immediately, Bai Yutang inserted the bolt into one side of the door, and the removed card slot was hung on the other side of the door, which was consistent with the state of the door bolt at the scene where half of it fell off.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao asked, "Fifth Master, what do you mean, the door latch in Shopkeeper Peng's room was originally broken? The guys couldn't open the door because of these accumulations?"

"That's right." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.

Xie Ling was puzzled, and asked: "But the doors of this tavern are all pushed inward. If the deceased hadn't piled up these boxes at the door, how could the murderer have piled up these things outside the door?"

"Then I need the long rope in my hand."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang folded the slender hemp rope into two strands, then wrapped it around the box, crossed it in the middle, and then twisted it in the opposite direction.Then, he walked out of the room with the rope, half closed the door, and started pulling both ends of the rope simultaneously with both hands.

Gradually, as the box approached, the door was gradually closed, leaving only a thin gap.

Xie Ling also followed Bai Yutang outside the house, seeing everything clearly.Just when he was about to ask how to retrieve the rope, Bai Yutang loosened one end of the rope and only pulled the other side.

The rope immediately fell off the box, and Bai Yutang easily took it out from the crack in the door.

Bai Yutang pushed the door open again, and explained to everyone while gesticulating: "This is a very simple knot. Pull both sides with both hands at the same time to make a dead knot. It can drag heavy objects. Just pull one end to make a loose knot. It can be easily knotted." Take the rope back."

"There are many ways to tie similar knots, and it doesn't have to be the same as the one I just tied. The same is true for other boxes and cabinets, just wrap the rope and pull it out at the same time."

Everyone couldn't help admiring Bai Yutang.

Jiang Lin also imitated a similar method when he played the live-action script kill, but Bai Yutang was able to think of this trick, so he still found it interesting to teach him.

Jiang Lin was about to say something, but the old man who had been watching for a long time just asked his question: "But I really felt that the door was locked very tightly, and it was very difficult to push, and it had to rely on the stacked boxes and cabinets , I can move it by myself.”

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "Because I still haven't put something up."

The wooden box was cleared to the side, and Bai Yutang placed the round stool horizontally on the ground, and put it against the solid wooden table legs against the wall, and wound the long rope around the clothes hanger several times.He pushed the bottom of the clothes hanger against the round stool, pulled the clothes hanger in the same way as before, and leaned against a pattern on the door at an oblique angle.

After repeated adjustments several times, Bai Yutang tried to push the door, and said to the old man, "You try again?"

After all, they were all the property of the store. The old man didn't dare to push too hard at first, but after he pushed twice, he found that the door was really tightly pressed and it was difficult to be knocked open.

"But when several of us bumped into each other, the door was suddenly knocked open. If this hanger is placed like this, wouldn't it be broken by us?"

Bai Yutang saw that he still didn't believe it, so he smiled and said, "You can continue to hit it twice?"

The guy seemed to be running to break the hanger, so he slammed into the door with all his strength, but Bai Yutang just knocked on the door at random, and the next moment, the old guy knocked open the door, Straight into the house.

Fortunately, Bai Yutang still had a bit of conscience and helped the old man before he fell down.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao, who also wanted to save others, was one step too late, Bai Yutang bared his teeth proudly at him.

Zhan Zhao knew that Bai Yutang wanted to reenact the scene of saving people in Goulan, so he didn't say much.

"Oh, thank you, Lord Jin, why did the door open all of a sudden?"

The old man is still dizzy, but the three people in the room can see clearly.

Before the old man slammed into the door, the door swayed slightly, and the clothes hanger bounced off the pattern for a moment.

It was at this moment that the old man broke in.

The reasoning of forging the secret room was quite remarkable, Jiang Lin was the first to applaud Bai Yutang.He laughed and said, "Fifth Master's method is so smooth and smooth, I really want to teach Jiang to admire it."

Although Bai Yutang didn't know the meaning of clapping his hands, he also felt the meaning of praise.

He looked at Zhan Zhao's slightly bright eyes, raised his tail and said, "The murderer took advantage of Shopkeeper Peng's unconsciousness to hang him on the beam of the house, causing him to suffocate to death, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the third floor, with the The trick is to fake the room into a secret room."

Jiang Lin waved his fan, and said persuasively: "Then someone witnessed the process of hanging the beam, how should we explain it?"

"Simple. The old man also said just now that he only saw a little shaking afterimage. Then the murderer only needs a thin rope, and wraps it around the corpse and the candle according to the technique just now. After seeing someone coming, the murderer With a slight jerk, the body will shake. At the same time, the candle will fall to the ground, and the light source will disappear if it is not extinguished."

Jiang Lin sighed in his heart, it seems that no matter what dynasty it is in, as long as there is a murder case, things like strings are omnipotent.

Bai Yutang looked down at Xiao Wang and said, "The only person who can do all this is Wang. As for seeing the shopkeeper rising, he made it up to deceive people. According to the settings in the room, if If he killed him, shopkeeper Peng must have died long ago."

Jiang Lindao: "So you think Xiao Wang is the murderer because you think he lied in his testimony?"

"Yes."

But Jiang Lin shook his head and said: "Maybe Jiang didn't say it clearly enough before, when I and Judge Xie were two or three streets away from the Ping'an Tavern, I saw a figure throwing a rope from the window on the third floor. "

Bai Yutang's expression froze.

"In any case, Jiang can conclude that the shadow he saw at that time definitely came from a living person."
