After talking to Si Zhuan, Li Ran went around Si Zhuan's house and explored the area, and even went to the scene of the murder.
However, because so much time had passed, the scene had long since lost any traces of murder.
Afterwards, Li Ran took Sun Wu and Fan Li to bid farewell to Si Zhuan and returned to the Ji Mansion.
Just listen to Fan Li say again at this time:
"Sir, Fan Li thinks that someone is obviously trying to kill people there under the guise of ghosts! And this must be done by their own people. Si Dai died from the sharp weapon he was carrying. If he was not beside Si Dai, How can this person do it? What's more, this person can lead the Si belt directly to the gate, which is absolutely impossible if he is not a familiar person!"
"Furthermore, Feng Duan also died of suffocation. His air valve was suddenly strangled from behind. And according to the Feng Mansion's alert at that time, if outsiders wanted to enter Feng Mansion without anyone noticing, how could they do it? !”
After hearing this, Sun Wu nodded seriously.
"Wu Yi thinks so. The murderer must be the concubine of Si Mansion and Feng Mansion. Maybe he is still hiding in the mansion now! After all, the matter has not been exposed yet, and everyone still thinks that these are Bo You's life-threatening, so they themselves I think it’s still safe, but I’m not in a hurry to escape!”
Li Ran narrowed his eyes:
"Shaoqing, tonight you go to Feng Mansion and arrest his butler! Remember, you must cover his eyes. It is best to let him be kidnapped without knowing what is going on or how. of!"
Sun Wu responded:
"No! Wu understands!"
"Young uncle, you and Owl Wings should carefully recall what the headless man looked like and see if you can restore his appearance. Although it doesn't have to be exactly the same, it should at least be somewhat similar!"
Fan Li vaguely guessed what Li Ran was going to do, so he agreed and went out to do things without asking any more questions.
When it was getting dark, Fan Li and Owl Yi had already made a model, wearing armor and holding a sword, and placed it in the courtyard. At first glance, it looked a bit like the headless man. Feel.
Li Ran looked at the model in front of him and looked up at the sky.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this headless man is divided into two types: real and phantom!"
Owl Wing was very puzzled. He didn't understand what a "phantom" was.
"My lord, what do you mean by this?"
"The so-called entity means that there is a real person hiding in the stomach of the armor. It may be that he is short in stature, or he may have some skills. Anyway, he can make a headless appearance to show people. This person has great martial arts skills and can jump up and down. It’s like entering a deserted place!”
"But if it can fly to a height of ten or twenty meters without any help, which is obviously beyond the reach of humans, then there must be a so-called phantom. This phantom should be a thin canvas. Something like this wraps a heavy object and makes it look the same as the entity. It is suspended in the air together with the entity. In this way, it can float in the sky with the help of external force. Because it is in the dark night and it is too high, others are far away. Looking at it, you can't actually notice the difference, so you subconsciously think that the two are the same thing! This is why ghosts have such magical powers!"
Fan Li carefully recalled the scene when he met the headless man, and then said sincerely:
"Sir, I have never seen it with my own eyes, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed very possible. However... the thing floating several feet in the air obviously requires the help of external forces! But we did not find it at the scene. Any similar object."
"Haha, 'Why is Qi Diao Wei? Wei Si Yin Min'."
This sentence comes from "The Book of Songs", and its literal meaning is "What is the most convenient thing for fishing? Pair silk and twine into fishing lines."
At this time, Li Ran read out that it refers to the fishing line made of silk and linen. This kind of fishing line is very thin and almost transparent. Not to mention in the dark night, even in broad daylight, you may not be able to detect it.
Fan Li suddenly understood.
"Wonderful! Very wonderful! The fishing line is strong enough to support something similar to a canvas floating in the sky, and it is not easy to detect. Moreover, the headless people mostly come from vegetable markets and sheep shops, even if someone discovers the fishing line afterwards. , and there is no doubt about this at all!”
Li Ran looked at Fan Li and nodded approvingly.
"Although these are just guesses, they are very close to each other. Late at night, Chang Qing captured the butler of Feng Mansion and used this model to pretend to be a ghost. If the butler had a ghost in his heart, he would definitely know how to do it. Tell the truth!"
"Sir, are you suspicious of... the family leader of Feng Mansion?"
"Although it is just a suspicion, I estimate that it is 7788. When Feng Duan was about to die, he resisted. There were skin scraps in his fingernails, and the back of the butler's hand was obviously injured, otherwise he would not have been treated as such. White cloth to cover it up! But... if we don’t use some extraordinary means, if he refuses to admit it, then we won’t be able to do anything to him!"
"So Sir, you want to treat him the same way as he does? Use the theory of ghosts to get him to confess?"
"Haha, although it is a helpless move, there is no telling whether it might have miraculous effects!"
Then, Li Ran asked Fan Li to invite Zichan, You Ji, Yin Duan, Si Zhuan and others to visit the Ji Mansion.
These people will be the backbone of Zheng State in the future.
Seeing that Si Zhuan also has the ability to take charge of his own affairs, not to mention his contribution to opening the city gate and avoiding a war, this person's contribution is indeed not small.
Several people sat around and after three drinks, Li Ran said to Si Zhuan:
"Doctor Ziran, we already have some clues about your father's case, but it may take some time to solve it. However, if nothing happens, Fengduan's death can be solved tonight! And if nothing happens, it will take some time!" , maybe it can give the doctor some inspiration!"
When Si Zhuan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"If Mr. Ziming can really find the murderer of his late father for Zhuan, Zhuan will be extremely grateful!"
Zichan said:
"Ziming, it turns out that's why you invited us to drink here tonight?! Haha, are we just waiting to watch the show?"
"Please be patient and don't be impatient. Just keep drinking here. If you stay until night, there may be a good show to watch!"
So, everyone drank for a while and took a nap directly in the temple. I stayed up like this until late at night.
When the time came to the end of the Haishi period, Owl Wings summoned everyone and winked at Li Ran.
Li Ran knew that Sun Wu had captured the man, so he immediately asked everyone to go to the courtyard. When they arrived, they suddenly saw a headless man hanging in the middle of the courtyard and wandering around!
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but feel horrified. Immediately, the drunken people were mostly awake, and they looked at each other in silence.
"My lords, there is no need to panic. This is a model made by Li Ran based on witnesses, and it is not the Bo You ghost rumored by the outside world!"
When Li Ran saw this, he quickly went forward to explain.
When Zichan saw it, he couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Ziming, if you hadn't explained it in advance, we would have been shocked. Could this good show tonight be related to this thing?"
"My lords, please don't make any noise. Everything will be clear after a while!"
Under Li Ran's arrangement, everyone stayed in the darkness of the corridor without saying a word. After a while, they saw Sun Wu walking over with a man on his back. There was a sack on this man's head, and he didn't know who he was, which made everyone even more surprised.
