Pearl Round Yurun

Li Yunyan suddenly realized: "My lord is right. However, we have never received a report from Mr. Zhu. It seems that no one has thought of him, or even if he suffered a loss, he pinched his nose and confessed." gone."

Yuan Run lowered his head to think about it, and suddenly asked, "Are there any gangsters in this area?"

Confusion appeared on Li Yunyan's face: "Black gang? There is no such gang?"

Yuan Run was embarrassed, and changed his words: "Is there any other gang?"

Li Yunyan shook her head and said, "No, there are few villains in this county, the people are simple and honest, and there are no gang organizations."

Yuan Run nodded—it seems that there is no one behind Zhu Laosi, so he hid the gold in this place out of caution and caution.

While thinking about it, he said to Li Yunyan: "Captain Li, is the place where the money is hidden under that brick?" He pointed to the third floor tile with a side length of about half a meter. , together with the rest of the floor tiles, was laid in the middle of a large bluestone floor from the entrance to the center of the courtyard.

Li Yunyan nodded and waved her hand. Immediately, a yamen servant came forward and pried up the brick, revealing a small hole underneath, which was rectangular in shape, about [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide.

Li Yunyan said: "Five taels of gold are packed in a box. There are five ingots in total, and one tael is one ingot. The box is still in the yamen, but there is no clue about that. We asked, and it didn't come from jewelry shops and grocery stores in the city." Yes. The peddlers at the temple fair have never seen that box, so if you are worried, you can go back and have a look."

Yuan Run thought for a while, and felt that the box should not be of much use, so he smiled and said: "If you don't need to check, this box is quite clear—forget it, let's go into the house and have a look." When Li Yunyan's expression changed, Yuan Run hurriedly changed his words - he was not afraid of her. As a boss, he should also take care of his subordinates' emotions so as not to affect his work.

There are four rooms in this yard, the largest one in the middle is connected to the master bedroom and reception room of Zhu Laosi, and this room is what Yuan Runjin entered.

Looking around, I deliberately tidy up very cleanly, without any sense of discord, and all the items are sealed.This made Yuan Run feel a little bit pained - isn't this a kind of damage to the scene?

Looking around, I suddenly saw a hole in the window paper of Mr. Zhu's fourth bedroom, which seemed to be as big as a copper plate. I went over and took a closer look, and saw that the paper on the entire window was almost intact. , but only one frame in the lower left corner was broken, and even a piece of the window lattice was missing. Looking at the ground, I couldn't find where the missing piece was.

Yuan Run lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said to Li Yunyan: "Have you investigated the scene of the crime carefully? Is it in this room?"

Li Yunyan said: "It should be, the corpse was under this window at that time."

"The tables and chairs here are not broken, there should be no fierce fighting. How is Zhu Laosi? Can Mo Chengchen kill him?" Yuan Run asked again.

Li Yunyan said: "Mo Chengchen's physique is average, but he is strong and cowardly. It's hard to say whether he will arouse the fierceness in his heart after drunk. As for Zhu Laosi, he is also of average physique. It is not impossible for Chengchen to succeed."

Yuan Run said: "Where is the blood here? Have you washed it?"

Li Yunyan said: "Well, but it wasn't us who washed it, it was Li De who did it."

Yuan Run really hated the ancient style of ineffective protection of the murder scene, but he had no choice but to sit there alone and think quietly...

——What if the window paper was broken during a fight?

——What if the window paper hadn't been broken during the fight?

Try to follow these two different trains of thought to see what kind of possibilities there will be...

Facing the old case more than a year ago, the scene was completely destroyed, and the clues were almost completely cut off. The only thing I could rely on was my imagination!

Boldly assume, carefully verify - this scientific style is also necessary for reasoning.

However, if the murderer wanted to steal money, why did he kill?

If Zhu Laosi found out halfway through stealing money, why didn't he fight?

Is it because the target from the beginning was Zhu Laosi?Stealing money is just a blindfold?Or do you only get money if you kill him first?Thinking of this, his thoughts suddenly returned to the box containing the gold—so he asked people to go back and get the box containing gold ingots.

Although Li Yunyan didn't know why she was in such a hurry to get this thing, and couldn't wait to go back to the office, she still asked people to get it.However, at this time, the crowd gathered at the door, all wanting to see what the magistrate looks like!

Holding a telescope in the distance, Ruan Yuzhu, who was lying on the roof and keeping an eye on this side, suddenly wanted to laugh—are these people talking about Yuan Run?She is the county magistrate, what would these people call her?If it was a man, he would be called the county magistrate, but what about a woman?Do you call her the magistrate's old lady?Or the magistrate's wife?It's funny to think about it!

At this time, Ruan Yuzhu had already noticed at least five people with different expressions, three of them were young people, one of them was Li De, and the other two were standing beside him, both dressed as scholars in long gowns, Maybe, like him, they are all talents of the Literature Museum.

It seems that the Literature Museum is really suspicious...

However, the expressions of these two people are different, or in other words, the expressions of the three people are all different. It can only be seen that their expressions are nervous, anxious and restless, but the differences in details cannot be distinguished. Ruan Yuzhu only I can carefully write down the looks of the other two, so that I can check them later when I go to the literature museum.

Here Ruan Yuzhu was observing from a long distance, while Yuan Run was also pondering over there.And the box sent by the yamen later also confirmed Ruan Yuzhu's idea-there was a mechanism on the top of the box. If I had to say it, it was a bit like an early simple landmine, the kind that would spring up when it was pressed down.

It seems that the slate is pressing against the organ on the box to ensure that it is safe.But once the stone slab is picked up, the mechanism will definitely be triggered, and then there will be a lot of noise, even alarming Zhu Laosi and even the neighbors around.So the comer killed Zhu Laosi first, and then went to get the money, so that he would have enough time to study this mechanism, so as to destroy this mechanism and let him take out the gold safely.

Could this person be Li De?

Or the people behind him?

However, in this case, there is another unreasonable point - if the visitor climbs over the wall and enters the courtyard late at night, everything is quiet at this time, whether it is Zhu Laosi or Mo Chengchen, they have already fallen asleep, and they Why can't we take this opportunity to study well?Is it because this organ can communicate with Zhu Laosi in a way similar to a remote control?

Yuan Run looked at the box, played with it for a long time, and then decided to take it back to Ruan Yuzhu to see - the mechanism on this thing has obviously been destroyed, and the key parts and parts have been taken away. Now I can only guess at a general effect.But in ancient times, did such an advanced mechanism really exist?Can actually sense from a distance?

Li Yunyan on the side watched Yuan Run put the box back to its original place, then squatted here, tried to press the box with the stone floor, and then repeatedly pressed it hard with his hands to test, and sure enough, he saw the protrusion on the top of the box. Part of it can be suppressed, and I couldn't help but blushed with shame - I didn't notice such a mechanism!

However, this box has a mechanism, which did not cause Li Yunyan to think too much. She was simply ashamed that she did not discover the mechanism of this box. Unlike Yuan Run, it is not so simple to guess this box through this mechanism, and Why did the murderer kill Zhu Laosi at that time instead of stealing the money in the box first.

——The murderer didn't take the box away, which means that the murderer also knew that at least Mo Chengchen had seen the box, but he didn't know how many people Mo Chengchen had told about the box, so he just disassembled it. The mechanism on the top of the box was removed, but the box was left so as not to arouse suspicion.

Mo Chengchen couldn't have done this by himself. If he had had the heart, he would never have told others about the box.Even if he made a slip of the tongue and told others after drinking, or rebelled to steal money after telling others, only he knows the specifics of this box, and he can make a box of the same size and put it in, or even do nothing, just To say that there is no box at all is all his bragging and lying.

It seems that the real culprit is someone else?

After thinking about it, I decided to go back to the Yamen first, and wait until tomorrow to go to the Literature Museum to explore.

So he stood up and laughed, and took the box into his arms, creating a false impression that he found a clue through the box, and let Ruan Yuzhu see what happened to the expressions of the people here.

When she returned to the county office, Ruan Yuzhu hadn't come back for a while, so Yuan Run read the pile of books again—this time she focused on the historical heritage of this world, as well as some legends and legends.

Ruan Yuzhu didn't come back until evening, and told Yuan Run about her observations.

"It's not a big surprise. There are three people who are the most suspicious, but they are all scholars of the Literature Museum. One of them is Li De. I also found out the names of the other two people. One is Chai Gui and the other is Song Jinzhi." Ruan Yuzhu said.

Yuan Run nodded: "Okay, let's go to the temple fair tomorrow morning, and then go to the Literature Museum." Then he handed the box to Ruan Yuzhu, "Look, does this box look like it used to have a remote control device installed on it?" look?"
