It was said that they looked at the thatched cottage three times, but today Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at the thatched hut three times.
The beggar fell asleep because he was full and satisfied.
Jing Rong directly lifted the straw mat on him with his hands.
Coldness strikes suddenly!
The beggar shivered with his arms in his arms, and sat up with anger on his face. He was about to scold, but when he saw Jing Rong, he immediately smiled.
smiling.
Then he asked, "Master, but what else is delicious? Is it meat buns? Or meat patties?"
He licked his tongue when he asked.
A greedy look.
Eyes light up.
Jing Rong glared at him.
This man is so greedy!
"Yes, of course, and a lot more," he said.
With that said, he took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it a few times in his hand.
The beggar stared at it, resisting the urge to grab the silver.
"Master, this money..." But it was given to me
The last words have not been asked yet—
Jing Rong interrupted, "As long as you are willing to cooperate well, the money will naturally be yours."
"Okay, you ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." The beggar's eyes were still staring at the ingot of silver.
It can be described as "saliva".
Jing Rong held the silver in the palm of his hand, and then glanced at Ji Yunshu.
motioned her to ask.
Ji Yunshu stepped forward and asked earnestly, "You must answer honestly."
The beggar swore, "Of course!"
"Okay, then I'll ask you again, you're sure you saw Du Mubai come out at that time."
The beggar nodded.
"Is that person really him?"
"this… "
"Actually, you didn't see his face at all, did you?" Ji Yunshu asked.
This question confused the beggars.
He recalled the scene at that time, passed it through slowly in his mind, and then said, "I... I don't seem to see it clearly. It was very late that day, I... I didn't see it clearly."
said weakly.
Ji Yunshu said, "Then you should think back to the situation at that time." "At that time..." The beggar scratched his head, patted it a few times, tried his best to recall, and grouped the scenes at that time into one piece, and then said, "That night, when Du Mubai came out, it was already very dark, he was walking in a hurry, I was lying down at the time, so, indeed...
Didn't see his face! But the clothes he wore were exactly the same as the clothes he wore when he went in. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, but... He seemed to have changed his sex. "
"Conversion? How do you say it?" "When he went in, he kicked my bowl and scolded me a few times, but when he came out, he threw me a few pennies, which is so strange. Yes, but I didn’t think about it that much at the time, and of course I am very happy when I have money, and what happened before is naturally written off.” One beggar
The deputy righteous looks bright.
Ji Yunshu, "What about other than that?"
"No... no more."
"Think about it again."
"It's really gone!" The beggar said uncertainly, and suddenly a picture, "By the way... I remembered, when he passed in front of me, I saw that he seemed to have changed a pair of shoes."
"shoe?"
"Not the same shoes he wore when he went in."
Ji Yunshu pondered and asked again, "You said he was in a hurry, so he wasn't lame at the time, right?"
"Yes, not lame."
Ji Yunshu smiled, "It was exactly as I guessed."
Beggars do not understand.
Ji Yunshu asked again, "Do you remember how tall Du Mubai was when he came out of it?"
"Five feet two or three, about the same as me."
Du Mubai's height, but after passing the test, the murderer was five feet seven inches.
So the person who came out should be Du Mubai.
However, Ji Yunshu did not think so.
Her face was solemn.
Then left silently.
Jing Rong threw a piece of silver in his hand to the beggar.
The beggar held the silver and smiled until his eyes were almost gone.
The two were walking down the street.
Jing Rong asked, "Where are you going?"
"Wenshe."
When they arrived at Wenshe, the doorman was still standing at the door.
As soon as they saw them, they rushed up to them.
Asked, "Two officials, you are..."
"Do you still remember Du Mubai's return the night he was killed?" Ji Yunshu asked directly.
The doorman froze for a moment before nodding, "Remember."
"Tell me the details."
The doorman said, "There was nothing abnormal when Du Mubai came. I called him, but he didn't listen at the time, and he was walking very fast. I just..."
"Wait, you said he walked fast."
"right."
"So he's not lame at all."
"It seems... Yes! It's strange, when he went out in the morning, he was still limping."
"Then do you remember the shoes he was wearing?"
"The shoes are the ones he wears when he goes out."
"How tall is he?"
"Du Mubai? Five feet three."
"I asked when he came back."
"the same!"
The doorman didn't quite understand why Ji Yunshu asked these strange questions.
After asking, Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other.
There you go!
On the way, Jing Rong said, "Du Mu Bai is obviously a lame man, but when he left the alley and returned to the Wenshe, he was normal. How could he get better in one day with a foot injury like that? ?"
Ji Yunshu jumped to the conclusion and said, "So, he is not Du Mubai, but the murderer!"
"But don't forget, the beggar and the doorman said the murderer was five feet three, but after testing, the murderer should be about the same height as Bai Yin, five feet seven."
"Perhaps, what did I miss?" she added, "but no matter what I missed, according to the hanging rope, Du Mubai did not commit suicide. It's just... If the murderer is the same height as Du Mubai, why would he want to? Tie an upper sling so high?"
The two suddenly said in unison, "Confused!" Ji Yunshu said, "The murderer just wanted people to think he was five feet seven inches! In fact, he had already prepared his hands. If Du Mubai's death is not discovered, Then everyone will decide that he committed suicide, and then the murderer will be safe and sound! But if it was discovered that Du Mubai was actually killed by someone, the officials would have been obsessed with the height of the murderer. Said that the murderer is a very smart person, and the second point is the beggar at the door. Once someone finds that the sling is wrong, they will doubt it, and then go to check the whereabouts of Du Mubai. Naturally
The beggar will be found, then, he has a beggar to testify for him anyway, and he is lucky, his preparations are useless, because everyone thinks that he committed suicide! "
"But... if the person who came out of the alley was the same person who entered the Wenshe, the beggar clearly said that Du Mubai had entered alone. So where did the murderer get in? Why did he have to change his shoes twice!" "Think about it. Knowing the answer, I can tell you right now. However, I have to inform Cheng Shizi first."
