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

14 Play the flute till dawn

In the early morning, in the morning market, at the entrance of "Cannibal Alley".

"Look, take a look, why is this alley cannibalism? Listen, I will take you to investigate, hey - it is said that this alley is impassable. Could it be that our black dog can go through the wall?"

Tan Cuo was beating the gong in his hand, and his loud voice attracted more and more attention from passers-by.

"Brother Tan, tell me quickly! How did your Beibei get out of that cannibal alley?"

"That's right. You didn't return the same way, you ran back from the outside. Can you black dog really know how to penetrate walls?"

People rushing to the morning market have been watching here for a while.

Tan Cuo specially taught Beibei to wear the "cannibal alley" again in front of everyone, and now everyone is full of curiosity about Beibei who came back from nowhere.It's quite a bit of waiting for the magic to be decrypted.

"Today I'm here to make a fake out of this 'Cannibal Alley'!" Tan Cuo grinned, took out a map of the south of the city, and explained it to the onlookers.

"Look, everyone, the 'Cannibal Alley' drawn on the map is a dead end with only half a section. It is tens of feet away from the other end. It is separated by two courtyards, and ordinary people must not be able to pass through it."

"But at this location... the location very close to the end of the alley, we all thought it was a dead wall, but in fact there was a not so obvious fork in the road."

"When the businessman who entered the alley at night wanted to go back the same way, he turned into the alley to the west. When he came out and saw that there was no candle in the residential area, he would naturally think that he had arrived at the Hades Mansion!"

After listening to the explanation, everyone suddenly realized or couldn't believe it: "I didn't expect that the truth about cannibalism in this alley is so simple?"

"Is there really someone who can't even see the fork in the road? I don't believe it. Who will go and see it with me later."

Qin Cuo was entrusted by Jiang Lin to come here to refute the rumors, so he didn't know the details.He just waved his hand and said: "The people from the government will come to clean up the debris in the alley in a while, so don't make trouble."

The onlookers immediately dispersed when they heard the words.

In fact, the mystery of this alley is more complicated than everyone imagined.

For example, the fork in the road actually used the illusion caused by the dim light and shadow at night, so that people can only see completely different roads when going back and forth.

There are two identical land statues near the entrance of the alley, so the businessman who went astray naturally believed in the fact that he returned on the same road.

And there are many sundries in the two alleys, it is difficult to find the narrow fork without looking carefully during the day.Only children who are running wild will get into it.

The government thought that the children disappeared out of thin air in the alley, but in fact they ran out from the fork in the road and got lost before being abducted by traffickers.

Because there was a shed above the fork in the road, even Bai Yutang, who descended from the sky, didn't notice any flaws.

However, Jiang Lin keenly noticed that the shadows when they entered the alley were different from the positions when they came out, and then understood where they had strayed off the road.

At any rate, Jiang Lin has read many detective novels, even those murderers who deliberately spent more than ten years building a trap castle.

It was just a shortcut that was faked to make it impassable. Among the many methods used to fake alibi, it was considered entry-level, so Jiang Lin couldn't help it.

Of course, the fact that another alley leads directly to the gate of his house also helped him a lot.

Jiang Lin's discovery wiped away everyone's fear of the "cannibal alley", and even the matter of finding Yu Shun'er seemed to be more promising.

The government also moved the location of the missing children in the previous abduction cases to the exit of "Cannibal Alley", which is the residential area near Jiang Lin's home.

For a while, there were many more soldiers patrolling in front of Jiang Lin's house, and the trespassers and hooligans didn't dare to come.The safety index of the entire residential area instantly increased a lot.

Seeing that his small broken yard had gained a team of guards for nothing, Jiang Lin rode his donkey to work in a good mood.

These days, Jiang Linjin was treated very politely in Dali Temple.

One is that Jiang Lin has only a few days left to solve two major cases. After that, he will either "get to the heavens" or "drive the crane to the west". No matter whether he is optimistic about him or not, everyone is very polite to him.

Another thing is that his immediate boss is not around, so no matter what Jiang Lin does, he will take it easy, so it's hard not to be unhappy.

But who knows that something good happened at home today, as soon as Jiang Lin entered Dali Temple, he ran into Xue Qing who came back to clean up the table.

However, seeing that the person following Xue Qing was no longer Xue Jiu, Jiang Lin smiled sincerely and said, "Xue Shaoqing is well."

Xue Qing sneered, his slightly squinted eyes were stern, and he looked straight at Jiang Lin, but his voice was very soft: "Jiang Shaocheng, I heard that you have made meritorious service again?"

Jiang Lin used to think that Xue Qing was more intimidating when he was angry, but now he realized how eerie and terrifying the other party's appearance of being aggrieved but not daring to speak.

Knowing that Xue Qing was talking about the progress he had made in the child abduction case, Jiang Lin said modestly, "It's not enough to try my best."

"If I have the good luck of Jiang Shaocheng, I can draw any prize I want, and if the suspect can't find evidence in the case, he will commit suicide and plead guilty. I'm afraid I won't be just a young minister in Dali Temple."

Jiang Lin was almost left speechless by Xue Qing's lack of self-knowledge.Official Xue Qingyin has no skills when he takes office. Being able to do Dali Si Shaoqing is already a virtue of his ancestors, and he still wants to go further?

But what made Jiang Lin more concerned was the first half of Xue Qing's sentence.He frowned and said, "What do you mean the suspect committed suicide? Is Yu Liang dead?"

"What are you still pretending to be here?"

Xue Qing muttered a few curse words, got into the car impatiently, and the servants of the religious mansion drove away in the carriage.

Jiang Lin hurriedly walked to the Dali Temple, but found that the colleagues he met along the way saw him, as if he saw a person who ascended to heaven after death, and his eyes were full of admiration but fear. Congratulations or condolences.

It was not until he reached the inner courtyard that Jiang Lin finally saw Xie Ling who could ask him a question.

But before Jiang Lin could speak, Xie Ling hastily lowered his voice and said to him: "Jiang Shaocheng is not good, Yu Liang, that Yu Liang, last night pressed his fingerprints on the confession, hit the wall and committed suicide!"

Jiang Lin frowned and said, "Who wrote the confession? What did you write? Without my permission, who went to interrogate Yu Liang?"

It was rare for Xie Ling to see Jiang Lin so angry, so he stammered and replied: "Back to Shaocheng, then Yu Liang suddenly called the jailer in the middle of the night yesterday, saying that he was going to confess. The jailer invited the master book and wrote a letter to Yu Liang A confession of all crimes..."

"At that time, the chief secretary didn't want to disturb Shangguan, so he made the decision privately... Who would have thought that Yu Liang would hit the wall and kill himself after returning to the prison after pressing his fingerprints on the confession letter."

This sounded like an excuse made up to excuse himself.

Jiang Lin somewhat understood the way those colleagues looked at him just now. I am afraid that many of them mistakenly thought that Jiang Lin directed and acted this incident, so they both admired his boldness and were afraid that he would overturn the car.

Jiang Lin felt a headache.

Yu Shun'er's whereabouts have just been settled, but Yu Liang in the prison suddenly committed suicide.

Somebody must have conveyed some information to Yu Liang in some way, so Yu Liang would confess his guilt so decisively.

Jiang Lin rubbed his brows and said, "Thank you judge, we will talk about the crime of negligence between you and me. First go and find out all the objects that Yu Liang has touched..."

"Actually..." Xie Ling swallowed, and then continued, "Actually, after Yu Liang's body was discovered this morning, the lower officials have sent people to check all the items used by him, and also retrieved the items that were taken by Yu Liang yesterday. Liang deliberately broke the rice bowl."

"After putting it together, you can see something like this at the bottom of the bowl..." Xie Ling taught the jailer to turn the bowl over and show it to Jiang Lin.

I saw a damaged white engraving on the bottom of the bowl, which seemed to be a word, but the complete shape could not be seen.

Jiang Lin felt that the mark was very familiar.

Jiang Lin was trying to recall where he had seen that mark before, when Bai Yutang who had been listening to it for an unknown amount of time suddenly interrupted him.

Bai Yutang embraced Jiang Lin's shoulders with a magnanimous face, and said, "Seeing that you are so worried, why don't Fifth Master share with you the serious murderer I found myself?"

Jiang Lin expressed doubts about his sudden friendly attitude, and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Look at you, who do you think of me, Fifth Master?" Bai Yutang couldn't help but curl his mouth, "You say 'Zhan Yumao is not as good as Bai Wuye' three times first, and Fifth Master will tell you to listen to me." .”
