How to work

Sometimes it is very helpful to take a walk around the scene when you have no clue to solve the case. Lu Li's primary destination is still the deceased's incense house.

The case has not been solved yet, the government will preserve the scene to the greatest extent, the room has not been cleaned, the blood and broken things are still there, guards are also sent outside the courtyard, no one else is allowed to enter, and he can enter and exit only because of the order of County Magistrate Huang Special confession.

"I'll wait for you outside!" Shen Wansha grabbed the door frame, determined not to go in, just kidding, he could smell blood in the room when he was standing in the yard, okay?Speaking of which, Xiao Lizi is so thin, how can he be so bold... He looked at Lu Li with complicated eyes.

Lu Li deliberately blinked at him mysteriously, "You really don't want to go in? Maybe you can find something, and then we can solve the case smoothly..."

Shen Wansha hesitated a little.As for the murder scene, it is mysterious and exciting, and it will show off when you talk about it in the future, and Lu Li is so powerful, and he is not stupid, maybe he can really solve the case...

Seeing his swaying expression, Lu Li sighed, "Well, if you're afraid, I'll go in by myself."

The voice of these words seemed a little high, a little unnatural, Shen Wansha rolled his eyes, and smiled like a thief, "Oh... so you are also scared."

Lu Li laughed out his little canine teeth, "Yes, I'm so scared, young master, you go in with me!"

Shen Wansha rubbed his nose, and walked in haughtily, "How can you feel at ease as a young master... Well, the young master will protect you, come on!"

Lu Li chuckled secretly and walked into the room.

He knew that Shen Wansha was afraid, but he didn't know how long he would stay in the room. After a long time, Shen Wansha would be even more afraid when he was outside alone, so he might as well bring him with him.And according to his observation, Shen Wansha is different from Zhang Meng, he is a little more mature psychologically, such stimulation can actually promote his growth.

Just kidding...

In his previous life, he did not know how much tenderness he had received, but now, he is very willing to give.

Shen Wansha tried not to tremble, and followed Lu Li closely. Lu Li's face was very calm, and his movements were very steady. He pointed out where he could not touch and observed carefully.Every move can't be said to have the beauty of flowing clouds and flowing water, but the seriousness and focus are really attractive.

Shen Wansha gradually calmed down.

Then his eyes no longer avoided the bloodstains everywhere, and even slowly, he began to look seriously.

"Little Lizi, do you think the blood stains can explain the murderer's method of killing and the direction in which he walked?"

"Yes." Lu Li pointed in the direction of Luo Han's couch, "For example, sitting here is a dead person pretending to commit suicide. He has a dagger on his chest, which reaches deep into his heart and lungs, but the only blood left is this small piece. It shouldn't be. The real reason is To be stabbed to death, the amount of bleeding must be huge, and the blood does not flow out slowly and spread like this."

"Another example is the blood spot on the ground, the zigzag shape must point to the direction of the murderer's movement..."

As Lu Li spoke, the process of the murderer's killing quickly flashed through his mind, "The murderer poisoned these people to make them incapacitated, first killed the person who looked like a leader on the couch, and then... he Beat the other dead."

Lu Li went to the window, "Here, this guy came to the window when his partner was being beaten, and probably wanted to escape. The murderer was very angry when he found out, and cut his throat with a dagger. Look at the blood splattered by the window, there is a lot of it. , the color is dark, this person died very simply, without any pain."

"Afterwards he killed the square-faced dead here." Lu Li walked to the middle of the room, "This process was very fast, and he was still angry at this moment and needed to vent... But at this moment, a person ran away, and he could run away. out of the room, and quickly ran out of the temple, why..."

Shen Wansha also frowned and rubbed his chin thinking, "Yeah, why, why are they all poisoned, others can't move, but he can run?"

Lu Li knelt down to observe the bloodstains carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I know, because his poison is not as deep as these few!"

He pointed to the deep and shallow bloodstains on the ground, "Did you see these bloodstains!"

Although Shen Wansha didn't know why Lu Li got excited, he couldn't help being excited, and his voice was very crisp, "I see!"

"These bloodstains are different in depth, which proves that he was poisoned differently!" Lu Li's eyes were shining brightly, "I asked Brother Zhao to check it carefully, and he told me that among the few people, the one with the highest martial arts is the one who died prone at the door The tallest one is the lowest one who died in the wild...Looking at it now, the order of death of these five people, the degree of poisoning, is exactly inversely proportional to their martial arts level!"

Shen Wansha came to his senses, "The one with the highest martial arts...is the most poisoned, the last to die?"

"Yes!" Lu Li walked around the room cautiously, and said firmly, "The murderer killed the people on the couch, the people in front of the window, and the people in the middle of the room, and the tall and thin man at the most poisoned door was sure to be unable to move. So I went to chase the one in the wild. When I chased him, I found that the man was exhausted and attracted wolves. He was very happy, and maybe he admired it for a while before returning. During the whole process, he let the tall and thin man watch helplessly. , waited in pain, and finally killed him... He has the highest martial arts, and generally speaking, the person with the highest martial arts in a small team is the leader."

Shen Wansha listened to Lu Li's analysis, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "But the leader is not necessarily the one with the most correct face! So the murderer finished killing people, and finally stabbed the dagger into the chest of the person with the most correct appearance and temperament, and faked suicide. He thinks that everyone will think so, and it will be more credible, because Uncle Wang was blindsided at the beginning!"

Lu Li nodded his head and kept thinking for a moment, "The murderer's method is brutal, and he should hate these five people very much, but they are from Xixia, and it's the first time they appear here, what kind of deep hatred will there be... "

"But," Shen Wansha had a question, "Why didn't the one who ran out ask for help?"

Lu Li sneered, "Perhaps what they did was not serious. Desperadoes will probably accept their fate when they get there."

Shen Wansha was thoughtful, "Oh..."

Lu Li frowned slightly, "But how did the murderer poison them? What kind of poison did they use? If you want to kill them, you must observe the poisoning effect somewhere, where is the right place..."

He looked up at the beams of the house, shook his head, turned around the room and couldn't find any traces, and simply walked out.

The yard has not been cleaned, covered with thin snow, the flat ground is white, and the occasional unevenness is the traces left by various human actions.

Lu Li watched carefully, and suddenly noticed several footprints.

There are two groups on the side of the window, and one group on the west wall. These groups are of different sizes. They must be three people, and they are all monk shoes.

According to the confession collected by Zhang Yong, no monks have visited this yard since the five people moved in, and these five people did not wear monk shoes, so where did these monk shoe prints come from?

These shoe prints are also very special, with yellow fragments and oil stains... You have to go to the main hall of the temple to get these marks.

"The murderer probably wasn't someone from outside the temple."

Shen Wansha scratched his head in confusion, "Didn't we already confirm that the murderer was from the temple?"

"Well... At first everything was possible, but now, I think the murderer must be someone from the temple, a monk, or a pilgrim these days. As long as we find out the motive, we will probably be able to find the murderer," Lu Li smiled. Meaning, "Or if we find out the purpose of these five people, we can follow the clues and find out who the murderer is."

Lu Li called the policeman who was guarding the Fragrant Courtyard, told him what he had just guessed and found, and asked him to tell the county magistrate Huang, and looked back at Shen Wansha, "Master, shall we go for a walk?"

Shen Wansha came over with an open-eyed smile, "Okay!" Although he was no longer so scared of the murder scene, the blood-stained room was not as refreshing as the outside, and he was very eager to go outside for a walk.

……

Why did these five people go to Ciguang Temple, and why did they go out to the west every night?Who did they offend when they first arrived?What kind of interest grievances would trigger such a murderous murder?

As Lu Li walked, he thought about this question with a serious expression on his face.

Shen Wansha thought he was worried about Zhao Zhu again, and comforted him, "Brother Zhao is so powerful, he will be fine."

Lu Li shook his head, temporarily let go of the things in his mind, and looked at Shen Wansha, "How do you know that he is good?" He guessed Zhao Zhu's martial arts skills, and he had never seen him make a move.

Shen Wansha opened his eyes wide, "He's just amazing!"

Lu Li was puzzled, "How to say?"

"It's... just a sense of oppression and dominance," Shen Wansha tried to express the feeling of meeting Zhao Zhu, "He doesn't need to explain, he doesn't need to show off, you know he is very powerful and omnipotent... For example, when he looked at me, I would feel very nervous and cramped, as if nothing he said or done was right, and I was especially afraid of being wiped out by his unhappiness..." This was a bit unbelievable to him, even He didn't have that serious sense of urgency to go to the palace.

"Is there?" Lu Li recalled the past with Zhao Zhu, and said in a uncertain tone, "It's okay...he just has a little fierce eyes."

Shen Wansha thought, how about saying that you are amazing...

He laughed, "I mean, he is very powerful, you don't need to worry about him at all, maybe we will see him when we go back to eat later, maybe he is missing, just go to the woods to catch you Rabbit."

"Is there a rabbit to eat in this season? It takes a day and a night to catch a rabbit?" Lu Li was very suspicious.

But this is not the point now, the two of them let go of this topic, wandering around outside the temple slowly and aimlessly, chatting nonsense while walking.

The weather is a bit cold, but the snow scene is beautiful, especially the appearance of the branches covered with snow, which is very unique. The inconspicuous vegetation in the past has also become particularly beautiful because of the snow color.

Shen Wansha pointed to these plants and told Lu Li to 'Look here! 'Let him look over there in a while! ', too busy.

Following Shen Wansha's guidance, Lu Li saw a clump of plants.

They are half a foot high, with no leaves on the lower part of the stem, a long stalk in the middle, and leaves on the top.The leaves are very thin and pentagonal. The stem and the back of the leaves are covered with a layer of pubescent hairs. The appearance is very special, especially for Quercus rugosa.

Aconitum, highly poisonous, likes warmth and humidity, and grows in the wild in Sichuan.

Quercus Lu almost ran over, touched the leaves of the plant with a veil, they were thin and leathery; pulled out another one and looked at the root, it was conical in shape.

Sure enough, it is aconite.

Aconitum is toxic to both the central and peripheral nerves, and the toxicity increases when exposed to alcohol. After poisoning, the central system is paralyzed and the heartbeat is strengthened. After being poisoned, one will die of respiratory paralysis or heart failure...

Lu Li stood up, looked around, and found a large number of aconitum plants nearby, if it was not cultivated by people, it would be too coincidental.

He looked back at the location of this place, the distance from the temple... The poison in the five dead probably came from here.

But the murderer didn't use too much. He didn't use poison to kill five people. He only used this poison to control five people, and then killed them himself. These five people must have provoked him severely.

Seeing that he was holding an aconitum, Shen Wansha reached out to grab it curiously, "What is this?"

Lu Li immediately slapped his hand away, "This is aconitum, very poisonous."

Shen Wansha jumped back in fright, "Damn poison!"

"The deceased may have been poisoned by this poison." Lu Li put down the plant and carefully put away the veil, "This place is remote and not very interesting, probably no one will come here on weekdays... Who would know that there is a large aconitum here?"

Shen Wansha raised his eyebrows slightly, "You must be very familiar with the temple and the surrounding terrain."

"You're right." Lu Li smiled slightly, "We've gained something today, let's go back and inform County Magistrate Huang about this, and we'll see where we go later."

"Okay." Shen Wansha didn't care, anyway, he had a lot of time, so he could play however he wanted.

The two walked back slowly, when suddenly a small dumpling rolled in the snow, and when they got closer, they found that it was a little wolf with white fur all over its body.

The little wolf was very thin and small, and he didn't know whether it was cold, hungry, or seeing strangers frightened, so he bared his teeth and growled softly at them.

Lu Li saw that the little wolf looked familiar, and wondered if it was the one he had seen on the mountain in Guanxian County, but considering the distance, it shouldn't be.

Lu Li squatted down, made noises to tease it, and at the same time curled up his fingers to let it come over, but the little wolf didn't move.He clicked his tongue regretfully, took out a few pieces of beef jerky from his pocket and threw them over.

The little wolf sniffed it closer, looked up at Lu Li, picked up the jerky in his mouth, turned his head and ran away.

"Why do you bring beef jerky with you!" Shen Wansha was very jealous, regretting that he didn't bring it, otherwise he would be able to tease the little wolf!

Lu Li clapped his hands, stood up lazily, and glanced at him, "I'm smart."

Shen Wansha: ...

Lu Li smiled 'poof', and rubbed Shen Wansha's cute little face, "Good boy, I will take the young master with me in everything I do from now on."

Shen Wansha wanted to cry but had no tears. At that moment just now, did Little Lizi treat him like a dog?

However, Shen Wansha's unintentional prophecy was very accurate. When the two of them returned to the yard after finishing their work, Zhao Zhu came back.

Not only did Zhao Zhu come back, but he also captured a person for him.

This person's hands were tied behind his back. He was slender and thin, with sculpted eyebrows, black pupils, and peach blossom eyes.

He was wearing a whole set of slim-fitting, well-cut and well-made white cross-neck gown. I don't know what kind of material it is. Simple white can also be radiant and shining with silver light.He also wore a pair of snow-white short boots, and a white jade fan was stuck around his waist. It seemed that this fan was his personal belonging. If his hands were not tied behind his back, he should be holding this fan and shaking it.

When Lu Li saw this person for the first time, his impression was coquettish, but when he cast his eyes away, his impression became coquettish.

He couldn't help but look back at Shen Wansha.

Shen Wansha half-opened his mouth in surprise: Brother Zhao really went to catch a rabbit for you!
