How to work

"Spirited wine and strong vinegar?" The shopkeeper looked puzzled, what do you use these for?

Lu Li smiled and said, "I have my own use, if the shopkeeper has it, just take it."

On the left, there is a young master with golden eyes who are proud and eager to urge, behind him is an imposing black-faced hunk who threatens murderously, and next to him is a tough-faced headhunter watching coldly. Only the handsome young man with a smile like a spring breeze in front is easy to talk to, the shopkeeper Don't dare to delay, turned around and yelled at people and went.

Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu actually didn't understand either, but Lu Li has always done things in a methodical way, and he has accepted the baptism of "opening the door to a new world" several times. These two people are not worried at all, but their eyes are excited, eager to know what will happen next What's up.

Zhao Zhu was calmer than Shen Wansha, he stepped forward and took a serious look at the bed frame that had captured most of Lu Li's attention.

Looking at it, I also saw the problem.

The grade of the inn is average, no matter how luxurious the room is, the material of the objects will not be top-notch. For example, this bed frame is made of beech wood.

Beech, abundant in the south, easy to get, heavy, strong, clear grain, very suitable for making furniture.Generally, the color of wood is light yellow, and beech is reddish and whitish. It looks similar to light yellow, but it is much more beautiful than light yellow.This color is generous and beautiful enough, so this bed frame keeps the original color of the wood, and only varnishes it, which shows a light luster and looks better. It also prevents wood from damp moths and prolongs its service life.

Zhao Zhu didn't pay attention at first, and when he turned to the light at an angle, he found that there seemed to be water splash marks on the side of the bed frame next to the bed.It's like someone's hand was wet and he flicked it vigorously-such a mark.

But after walking a little bit, the traces disappeared. When I reached out to touch it, it was not dirty, nor did I feel any strange touch.The marks were very shallow, and he looked back and forth several times, almost wondering if his eyes were wrong.

Seeing that he saw it, Lu Li smiled and pointed to the window.Although it is not sunny, the room will not be dark on a sunny summer afternoon. Things will look different with different light and angles.

Finally, there is a smile.Zhao Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, came over and pinched Lu Li's fingers.He didn't understand why Lu Li ignored him at all. He thought it was just his daughter-in-law who was too shy and didn't check herself at all. She was careful not to lean over these few days, and she almost couldn't help it!

He smiled flatteringly at Lu Li.

This smile is still arrogant and domineering in the eyes of Shen Wansha and others, but the fact that King Ping can laugh is shocking enough, Shen Wansha almost tripped over with his left foot and fell over with his right foot.Is this the Ping Wang in his impression?What if you just get angry and play hard?

However, Lu Li saw the flattery in Zhao Zhu's eyes, and then...the smile on his face froze.

Bad, he forgot he was still mad at the bastard!

And pinching someone else's hand as soon as you come here, isn't it too shameless!

Zhao Zhu smiled again, and the movement of pinching his little hand was even more outrageous - he actually scratched Lu Li's palm lightly!

Lu Li gritted his teeth and shook off Zhao Zhu's big hand, sighing deeply.

Getting angry with people is actually a lot of effort, a waste of time and energy, and it makes him feel bad. With this time, he might as well read two more books... Besides, Zhao Zhu is barely a low-level person, this article... …Come on, he has more important things to do.

At this moment, Zhao Zhu had the same epiphany as when Shen Wansha was aggrieved: Sure enough, the case is better!The case can perfectly catch all of Lu Li's attention. As long as there is a case, Lu Li can ignore all the bad things done by his friends!

So is it... Zhao Zhu began to think in his heart, what should he prepare when he confesses.

Wei Butou didn't understand the subtle change of atmosphere in the room, but it didn't delay his thinking. Like Zhao Zhu, he looked carefully at what Lu Li was looking at, and had some guesses in his heart.

……

The shopkeeper came back very quickly, with a few assistants behind him, each holding a few jars, all of which were what Lu Li wanted, "There are only these varieties in the store, which ones do you think you can use?"

Seeing something coming, Lu Li's expression immediately became solemn.He asked everyone to put the jars on the ground, and opened them one by one to smell them carefully. If they were not sure, they dipped their fingers in and tasted them.After a while, he picked out the most suitable two jars, and asked everyone to back away, lifted the bedding on the bed, spilled the wine vinegar in the jars on the head of the bed, and then backed up all the way, spilling the wine vinegar all over the ground.

Strong wine, very strong wine, strong vinegar, very strong vinegar.Alcohol and acetic acid are mixed to form ethyl acetate, an organic solvent that reacts with the clotted proteins in the blood stain, making them visible.

Without luminol, he can only rely on these things, but it takes longer and the effect is not as good as luminol.

Hopefully the wine vinegar is strong enough.

Lu Li didn't stay idle after splashing, carefully observed other places, and even went out of the room to check the surroundings.

The smell of strong wine is very strong, and the strong vinegar is also quite irritating. The combination of the two can be called a killer. Almost no one can stop at the scene without covering their noses. The voters huffed and went out.

Lu Li thinks that the location of Yuanlai Inn is very interesting. It is diagonally opposite to Zuibaxian Wine Shop, at the intersection of the triangular lanes. If you look carefully, it is not far from Mu's Chariots and Horses.The inn was built in Huajinfang, and it was a business for ordinary people. The walls were not high, and the security conditions were not very good. The only watchmen at night were shift workers and doormen.

After looking carefully one by one, the circle became a bit bigger, and I even looked at the alley behind the inn, and it took half an hour to finish.

The summer was hot, and the waiting time was not as long as expected. When he returned to the room, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the effect had already appeared.

There were dense dots and exclamation marks on the head of the bed, bed boards, and bedposts, which were obvious splattered bloodstains.

There was a small pool of blood under the bed near the head of the bed.

There was a long wiping mark on the ground, irregular and uneven, with parallel lines of rubbing, starting from the direction of the head of the bed and ending near the door.

It will cause such marks, indicating that someone was violently beaten on the bed, or close to the bed, stood still for a while under the bed, and was dragged to the door again!

The wine vinegar evaporates quickly, and the temperature is high in summer. Except for the residual smell, there are no wet traces. The floor of the room is paved with bluestone, and the traces of blood stains are deeper than the bluestone.The pool of blood at the corner of the bed even outlines a half-human figure, and the light yellow beech wood bed board has spot-like splatter marks that are so black that people can't even ignore it.In other words, as long as you are not blind, as long as you have a brain, you can see what happened here!

The shopkeeper and the guys were close together, so scared that their throats were thirsty and they couldn't speak.Catcher Wei also looked at Lu Li with horror in his eyes. He knew that Lu Li had superb autopsy skills and excellent case deduction, but he didn't expect to have such a magical skill!

Shen Wansha couldn't hold back, screamed and jumped on Lu Li, "Little Li is so powerful!"

Zhao Zhu...Zhao Zhu clenched his hands into fists, and his knuckles were crunching.

The daughter-in-law is mine!mine!My king's!Close your eyes for this king, don't look at it! !

Everyone was very excited, but Lu Li let out a long sigh.

He doesn't know chemistry, so he can't make luminous ammonia. No matter how high the concentration of wine vinegar is, the theory is the theory, and the probability of success is not very high. OKTry it today, if there is no reaction, it may not prove that nothing happened here, but if there is a reaction, something must have happened in this room!

He's really lucky today.

But after reading it, he still frowned.

Shen Wansha didn't understand, "Little Lizi... isn't happy?" Having found such an important scene, the next thing should be smoother, why not happy?

Lu Li put his hands behind his back, thinking flashed in his eyes, "These blood volumes are not lethal."

The bloodstains look scary, especially the wipe-like bloodstains on the ground, which seem to be large in size, but in fact, it doesn’t take much blood to create such a mark. As long as a person is not violently hit at a vital point, bleeding this bit of blood is dead no.

Therefore, what he found was not the first scene where the deceased was killed, but the scene where the deceased was taken away by the murderer's uniform.

"Even so, I have gained a lot." Zhao Zhu interjected at the right time, with a comforting tone.

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, his heart moved slightly, his eyes were slightly warm, "Not bad."

After a pause, he turned his head and asked the shopkeeper, "Who will clean the room after guests live in it? Is there a regular person?"

The shopkeeper recovered from the shock and no longer dared to look directly at Lu Li.This one looks the gentlest, but is actually the scariest!What kind of skill is this to make the blood at the scene of the murder visible with a splash of wine and vinegar?This handsome young man has tasted the wine vinegar one by one, but he didn't actually taste it, but mixed some psychic substance painted on his hands into the wine vinegar!

"Yes...yes," the shopkeeper replied with a cautious expression, fearing that people would not like it, he pointed his finger to let him see Hades. "The shop is small and profitable, and there are not many employees. Generally, whoever receives the guests is responsible for cleaning and tidying up."

In other words... "Shuanzi." Lu Li looked calmly.

"Is this person here?" Shen Wansha opened the fan with a swipe to remind, "Young Master remembers to ask you to invite him."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Here, come, just arrived, I'm waiting in front of you!"

Catcher Wei worked diligently, followed the shopkeeper out, and brought the man over.

Although the scene was destroyed after several days, several people still went to the next room to ask for a confession with a protective attitude.The shopkeeper has no opinion at all, not to mention that the golden and noble young master has already given enough rewards, the rooms are empty anyway in the off-season, he dare not just think about offending the handsome young man who can psychic.

Shuanzi has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong body, a short hairy beard around his lips, and a mole on the left cheek is quite conspicuous, very energetic.In ancient times, 16 years old was already an age that could support a family.

He was a little nervous when he was invited by the shopkeeper and questioned by the head catcher in official uniform, "Little Shuanzi, I have met all the nobles... I don't know how many of you are looking for the young ones..."

"Just asking some questions, don't be nervous." Lu Li looked at him gently, "You are on the night shift this month, and you still have an impression of the customer you met half a month ago?"

Shuanzi scratched his head, "Although it is the off-season, there are still some guests. I wonder who the nobleman is talking about?"

Lu Li tapped the table with his fingertips and reminded in a slow voice, "It was raining that day, and the guest arrived at [-]:[-] pm. He was very drunk and was supported by his friend."

"Oh, that one, remember!" Shuanzi said with affirmation, "Although there are quite a few guests one after another, there is only one guest who got drunk at that night, and the friend who helped him gave me a reward. I'll go see it in the middle of the night!"

"Have you gone to see it?"

"Of course I saw it. How can you not do things if you take money from others?" Shuanzi looked upright, but after a while he curled his lips again, "But the relationship between these two must not be good."

"why?"

"The person who gave the reward was rich and noble, and he was made of high-quality kudzu silk. He seemed to care about the guest very much, but the guest was pretending to be drunk. Isn't it obvious that he has a bad relationship?" Shuanzi looked disapproving, and the guest Wearing ordinary clothes, his friend is so rich, he would have been on the bus early, but the guest pretended to be drunk, what a waste of opportunity.

Shen Wansha looked curious, "How do you know that the guest is pretending to be drunk, it's obvious?"

"That's not true. I went over to help him. The guest smelled heavily of alcohol and was very heavy. He really seemed to be drunk." Shuanzi said that he had to go to see the guest in the middle of the night. "But when I got up and passed his room , he was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, every step was very steady, as if he was thinking about something, how could a drunk be like that!"

"Didn't you go into his room?"

"He lit a candle, so I can see it without going into the room," Shuanzi wanted to laugh thinking about that night, "He stood up straight, and he realized that he is not short, and he looks very serious when he walks." Seriously, it's not at all like someone who gets drunk and needs to find an inn temporarily."

Lu Li's heart sank slightly, "That's why you didn't go into the room to see him."

"He pretended to be drunk before, but he was sober at the time. What can happen to a big man? I was lazy and didn't go."

Lu Li and Wei Butou exchanged glances, and they both had the same guess in their hearts: If Li Tong's confession was true and Si Xingying was indeed very drunk, then Shuan Zi must have seen the people pacing in the room. Not Si Xingying!

Zhao Zhu's figure pierced in obliquely, blocking Lu Li's sight, his dark eyes were slightly dissatisfied.Lu Li smiled, then shook his head slightly, signaling him not to mess around.

Shen Wansha pressed his fist to his lips and coughed twice.

Please pay attention to the occasion when flirting!

Shuanzi doesn't mind at all, because he doesn't understand...

After a moment of adjustment, Lu Li asked Shuanzi again, "Did you see that guest the next day? I heard he didn't come to check out?"

"No, I haven't seen that guest since that night." Shuanzi looked a little embarrassed, "When his rich friend came to ask, I also told the truth, it's not that we didn't serve you well, he left on his own , none of our business."

"You cleaned up the guest room?"

Shuanzi nodded, "Yes."

Lu Li suddenly slapped the table, his voice was slightly cold, "There is blood in the room, why didn't you report it to the authorities!"

Shuanzi was taken aback, his face was full of horror of 'how do you know', his voice stammered, "I thought it was a nosebleed..."

Wei Butou cleared his cough.

Shuanzi knelt down in fright, "Really, I didn't lie! I was on the night shift, and I was very busy in the morning. I only had time to check the room when the shift was changed. At that time, the customer had already left, and there was a pool of blood on the pillow. , put a few pieces of broken silver on the table... We are in the business, and we often encounter this kind of thing, the guests are sorry for dirtying things, so they leave silver rewards for us to clean..."

"Only blood on the pillow?"

"Really! It's just a puddle on the pillow. I got into fights with people two years ago, and I'm familiar with it. Nosebleeds look like that when I'm lying on the bed!" Shuanzi swore.

After a while, Lu Li nodded, "...um."

The scene was approximately...cleared.Shuanzi was just an ordinary inn boy, maybe others didn't clean it thoroughly, but he didn't pay attention.

It's just that, the clue is broken again.

Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, investigating the case... takes time.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and clasped hands with Butou Wei, "I will trouble Butou Wei with the rest."

Although new clues have been found, there is no clear direction. The police need to work hard to visit, investigate, and interrogate to see if they can find more clues or even suspects.

The traces of the room were so obvious, someone must have sneaked in that night, restrained Si Xingying, and got him out without anyone noticing.Covered by night, the environment of the inn is not too strict, and then use the favorable terrain - the wall is not too high, there are many people who can do this.

Lu Li doesn't need to analyze at all, the people present are not fools, even Shen Wansha can see it, how could the head guard not know?

Sui Wei did not ask any further questions, and directly bowed his hands to Lu Li to thank him, "Thank you sir this time, and I will go find him again when there is follow-up news."

"Okay." Lu Li turned around, called Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu, and left the inn.

Butou Wei still stayed at the inn to deal with the rest of the matter. Besides investigating the case, he also had to remind the shopkeeper and Shuanzi not to talk too much, and for the convenience of asking confessions, they were not allowed to leave the city for a short time.

On the carriage, Shen Wansha's expression was still excited, and today he was shown off by his little friend's miraculous skills again, so happy!

That wine vinegar is amazing, how did you choose it?Did Little Lizi add something to it?Unexpectedly, Shen Wansha's idea coincided with that of the innkeeper.

Zhao Zhu couldn't take his eyes off Lu Li's face for a long time.This person is too outstanding, like an endless treasure, always surprising him.

How could such a person be buried?Soon, he will be known by everyone, and countless people will come forward to support the moon... There are all kinds of thoughts.

He was the luckiest person to meet Lu Li, who was full of pearls and jade, and participated in his life.

He is even more grateful to his mother and concubine, who died young, she is really a mother, with insight like a torch and far-sightedness, she made this fiancée for him early on!

How could he blame his mother for leaving too early when he was a child, leaving him to suffer in this world?It's so ignorant!His mother had clearly arranged the best person for him. Those sufferings, the dark, aggrieved, and never wanting to remember the past were all for today. Beside Oak!

He is worthy of a wife!It can also protect my daughter-in-law!

……

These two people had a big brain hole, but Lu Li didn't notice it at all. He rested his chin and looked at the street outside the light blue window screen, thinking about what to do next.

How about... go to the scene where the body was found?

Maybe you will find something that you didn't notice before.
