At this time, Peng Liang, who was responsible for checking the environment in the room, brought a tea cup over and took off the lid. There was a small object standing inside.
Di Ying poured it into the palm of his hand.
It was a copper head the size of a thumbnail or a fingernail.
It's not a human head, but something like a cat or a tiger.
It's not very refined, it's almost just a rough shape, so it's not easy to recognize.
But the meaning should have been expressed clearly.
Di Ying held the copper head in his palm with some force.
He looked up at the roof again and checked the doors and windows.
Then he called in the steward and asked casually: "How many concubines does your master have?"
The person in charge was watching Master Di solving the case very enthusiastically. Suddenly he heard the question and replied casually: "Four."
"Who is the most beautiful person from Wenzhou?" Di Ying asked quickly without leaving any trace.
The steward shook his head when he heard the question, and replied smoothly: "No, the second aunt is... Sir, why do you ask this?"
After answering half of the question instinctively, the manager suddenly became alert.
Di Ying looked at Peng Liang.
He tilted his chin toward the person in charge and said, "Catch him!"
Peng Liang immediately approached like the wind and stabbed it with one finger.
The steward's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up without thinking.
Unfortunately, as soon as he jumped up, he was swept away by Peng Liang, sending him flying sideways.
The manager hit the wall hard and fell to the ground.
He held his stomach with one hand and held it up with the other while still thinking about it.
A trace of blood flowed from his mouth, and he said to himself: "Why?"
Peng Liang stepped forward and stomped the person down again, so that he could listen obediently to his master "solving the case".
When Di Ying saw that the person had been caught, he slowly took off his gloves one by one and said: "The apricot blossom has a light taste, and it becomes even lighter after it dries.
When you were holding them, in order to ensure the integrity of their flower shapes, you let them stay in your hands for a long time, right?
Did you go in and wait on your master before he went to bed? There was no latch on the door when you came out.
After midnight, you can go into the house and kill him.
But if your hands are stained with blood, when you come out, use your feet to hook the closed door.
In order to prevent the servants from hearing the sound, did you clean your hands in the small fish pond in the courtyard?
Before your master's usual time to get up, you entered the main room again and sprinkled dried apricot flowers.
The reason is probably: Are you afraid that if you pee too early, the wind will blow you away? Or are you afraid that your master lost it when he was struggling before his death?
But no matter what the reason is, you are too deliberate and want them to be preserved intact.
Apricot flowers are not special. If you are not familiar with them, you may confuse them with other flowers.
You didn’t make these dried apricot blossoms yourself either.
It's late September now, and apricot flowers bloom in June. You can't wait months in advance to provoke me.
Neither can anyone else.
Yesterday, I spread the news that I had arrived in Wenzhou City. In the early morning of this morning, someone died.
In such a short period of time, I thought of using dried apricot flowers to remind me, but these dried apricot flowers are not even commonly available in the market.
In your master’s tea business: Is there apricot tea?
Only specially prepared dried apricot flowers can be so vivid.
It’s difficult for you to select the best of the best and pick out the best ones for sprinkling.
But this leaves the aroma of apricot blossoms on your hands.
But this faint smell did not attract your own attention, because you were used to it and too familiar. You just forgot to clean your hands again.
Or: You didn’t have time? "
Di Ying said, putting away the dirty gloves and putting them in the tool box, and then put down her tied hair.
Twisting the cloth with tied hair in his hand, he looked at the steward with eyes full of disbelief.
He continued: "If the murderer was not someone close to the deceased Lu Quan, he would not know that he was carrying dried apricot flowers, let alone where the dried apricot flowers were stored.
And being able to enter and leave the main house calmly and without any panic at all shows that the murderer is so sure.
Why?
Just because he is familiar with the environment, the people, and everything around him.
In order to divert my attention, you went up to the roof on purpose, uncovered some tiles, covered them again, and wiped them carefully to erase the footprints.
But you didn't come down directly from the roof.
This leaves a huge gap.
Or you want to say: If you count the guards around me, once they find the traces on the roof, they will come down from the roof, and then they will automatically help you complete the traces.
I have to say, you are overconfident.
In other words: You underestimate my captain Peng Liang too much.
You are still far behind his light body skills.
You are familiar with this courtyard. Every time you come to Wenzhou City as a businessman, you always live here, right?
This is one of the habits that people who have been doing business for many years will have.
You also said that your master doesn't come here often, and you are the only one responsible for purchasing and delivering goods back and forth.
Just like I am familiar with Peng Liang.
With Peng Liang's skill, I know how much dust can be brought down from the roof into the house.
And there was only so much dust in the room, which meant that only one person had worn it.
You deliberately wiped the footprints on the tiles, which shows that you have enough time.
why? Because you know the sleeping habits of those servants.
You are not afraid that someone will get up and find you during that time.
And this copper head. It's still a little moist on top.
Is it the one you put in the teacup before morning and after scattering the flowers?
There was still water in the tea cup at that time, right? You poured it out and then put the copper head in.
But if you do this, you will completely expose yourself.
Because if it was an outsider who committed the crime, who released it, or who released it after killing Lu Quan, the copper head would not absorb water, and it should have been done long ago.
It's impossible for an outsider to kill people after midnight and come over again before morning to scatter dried apricot flowers and place copper heads, right?
But why do you have to make two trips?
Is it because dried apricot flowers are difficult to preserve and have been carefully preserved by Lu Quan, right?
You have to kill him before you can get the dried apricot flowers.
But this also shows that the Lu family apricot tea is precious, and the quantity is not large, and it is not sold far away. It will never be sold in the local market, right?
This time it was because the quality of the tea was not very good, so Lu Quan brought apricot flower tea to make up for it, right?
This should also be a secret of the Lu family, right? You don’t normally have access to it.
Moreover, when you killed someone to provoke me, was it a spur-of-the-moment move or was it paid off?
That's why you had to make two trips.
But you are not in a hurry anyway. You may even be thinking proudly when you are choosing and scattering flowers: I will be confused by this wonderful move of yours, right?
You protected the scene of the accident because you were afraid that someone would lose the Xinghua? Or took away the copper head?
What kind of object is this copper head made of? So rough and hard for you to find.
But I happen to know what it is. This is the bell tongue inside the horse's bell. This head is a horse head.
There were so many goods placed in the yard, but there were only two carriages. Then these two carriages are for the exclusive use of Lu Quan and you.
As for scissors, you can buy them at the blacksmith shop in Wenzhou City.
Your planning time is relatively rushed, so you probably won't ask others to buy it for fear of missing out on your treasure. Did you buy it yourself?
Do you need me to escort you and go to each blacksmith shop to inquire? Who asked you to buy it?
Don't tell me: you will be the one behind the scenes. You don't have that much ability. Tell me, the person who bribed you prepared the next killing place for me: is it Tongtou County? "
