It didn't take long for the news to reach Li Cheng.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong returned to the stinking lake again.
Waiting!
As soon as Li Cheng heard that Ji Yunshu knew how the murderer committed the murder, he immediately brought his own people over.
The old officials of the city department were also very curious.
I thought to myself, how is it that in just one day, Mr. Ji knows how the murderer committed the murder
If it were them, they would have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
When Li Cheng and the others came to the lake, they saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing in the pavilion.
Standing in front of the bronze bell.
And as soon as they arrived at this place, everyone covered their noses.
"It really stinks here." Someone said in disgust.
Some people immediately echoed, "I don't know how many years the lake has not been cleaned up? Why does it stink like this."
"How do people in the Ministry of Industry do things!"
"If this is reported to the king, he will be accepted by Li Shangshu."
"is not that right!"
Several people muttered a few words in detail!
On the surface, the various ministries seem to be in a relationship of mutual assistance, but after all, it is an officialdom, and there is no competition. No one wants to bring down officials who are more powerful than themselves, so that they have a chance to be promoted.
Li Cheng ignored their conversation, but hurried towards Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu in the pavilion.
He stepped on the rotten sawdust and snow mixed with soil into the pavilion, and asked anxiously, "Do you really know how the murderer committed the murder?"
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong turned to look at him at the same time.
not talking.
"Say, what are you looking at me for?" At the same time as Li Cheng spoke, the officials from the city department also surrounded him.
Want to know the situation.
Ji Yunshu gave a light command, "I also bother Cheng Shizi to prepare a raft."
"The raft? What do you want the raft for?"
"It's useful, please get ready as soon as possible, I'll use it right away."
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, not sure why, but after listening to "as soon as possible" and "immediately", he stopped asking too much, turned his head and instructed his bodyguard, saying, "You heard everything Ji Gongzi said."
The guard nodded.
"Then don't hurry to prepare, the sooner the better!"
"Yes!"
The guards took orders and exited the pavilion.
Instead, Li Cheng asked Ji Yunshu again, "And then what?"
Ji Yunshu pointed to the bronze bell and asked, "Young Master Cheng can see the raised iron lumps on the top of the bronze bell."
He came in too quickly and didn't pay attention at all.
Following Ji Yunshu's pointing, he looked over.
Only then did I discover that there was still a bronze bell in the pavilion.
Officials also took notice.
"I see, so..." Li Chengyu suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, shocked, he immediately stepped forward, reached out and touched the circular bumps covered with dust and a little snow on the copper bell, "Could it be... Is this where Du Mubai hit his back?"
"That's right, it's here!"
Li Cheng asked, "Do you really believe what that beggar said? Do you believe that Du Mubai came here?"
"There are beggars as evidence, and now there are bronze bells as evidence, all of which can prove that Du Mubai has indeed been here."
"..." "The beggar said that Du Mubai stayed in this place for two hours, so for those two hours, he was with the murderer all the time! During that time, the murderer lured him to drink something containing sweat medicine. Probably aware of it, he planned to leave, but his body was unstable, and the whole person fell backwards.
to go, which caused his back to hit the bronze bell. "Ji Yunshu said it in great detail.
Li Cheng pondered his words.
He looked at the bronze bell in front of him.
Nodding slowly, "It seems... It's like this. But why did they stay here for so long in two hours? Can you believe what the beggar said?"
"The reason why they stayed here for two hours will only be explained to you after the raft is ready."
"..." Li Cheng had too many questions in his heart. Ji Yunshu said again, "Let's talk about something else, the beggar also told me that Du Mubai only left this alley when it was dark, so he couldn't see his appearance at all, he only remembered the clothes on his body, and During that whole day, no one went in except Du Mubai.
. "
Some people questioned, "That's not right. Since Du Mubai can leave safely, how could he be stunned by the murderer here?"
"Because of the shoes!"
"Shoes?" the officials said in unison.
How does this have anything to do with shoes
Li Cheng looked at her eagerly.
Confused! Ji Yunshu explained, "The shoes I'm talking about are the shoes that Du Mubai wore! The shoes he wore when he entered this alley were different from the ones he wore when he left this alley! To be precise, they were not the same pair. , and after he left this alley, he should return to Wenshe, but I went back
Wen She asked, and the boy inside told me that the shoes Du Mubai wore when he went back that night were the same as the ones he wore when he went out. It can be seen that between the time he left the alley and the time he returned to Wen She, he changed it twice. shoe! "
"Change shoes? How can anyone be so strange." Someone said.
"Yeah, it's not too far from Wenshe, it's just two streets away. Besides, it's not a long trip, so who would carry two pairs of shoes?"
"is not that right?"
…
Everyone say a word.
Li Cheng also pondered softly, "Yes, why did he change his shoes twice, why is this?"
Ji Yunshu told them, "Because... Du Mubai who left the alley and went back to Wenshe at night is a fake. That person is actually the murderer!"
Uh!
murderer
The pan exploded at once.
Everyone looked at each other.
Can't believe it.
How did the good-looking Du Mubai turn into a fake
"This... how is this possible? Didn't the beggar say that no one but Du Mubai went in that whole day? If so, where did the murderer get in? Why did he change two pairs of shoes? The murderer again Why do you do this?" Li Cheng asked.
Several questions in a row were thrown at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu said solemnly, "This is exactly the smartest thing about the murderer!"
"How to say?"
"When the raft is found, everything will be understood naturally."
Li Cheng still didn't understand, "But what exactly do you want the raft to do?"
There was some anxiety in the words.
After all, there are still a lot of doubts that have not been solved, but there are many more doubts. His brain capacity is not enough, and he can hardly hold it, as if it is about to explode.
Ji Yunshu's expression was flat.
Can't you see how nervous she is at this moment? Still dignified.
She walked slowly to the lake, and looked at the forest opposite her with deep eyes.
Said, "I need a raft to get us across."
opposite!
In that small forest.
But what to do there? Li Cheng was full of doubts.
