Li Cheng asked, "What's on the other side?"
Ji Yunshu: "The answer."
An answer we all want.
Soon, the guards finally found a raft!
The raft is not big and can only hold five people.
Several guards worked together to lift the raft into the lake as instructed.
float on top.
Ji Yunshu looked at the crowd and said, "Only five people can go."
So, Li Cheng brought an old official with some qualifications and a bodyguard.
Together with Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong, they got on the raft.
The rest of the people stayed in the pavilion here and waited.
Also started to guess.
"Tell me, what's on the other side? What medicine does Ji Gongzi sell in the gourd?"
"who knows."
"How about we also find a raft and go over there together?"
"just forget it."
"I don't know what's on the other side. What if something happens? Just stay here."
After waiting, the thought was dismissed.
On the raft, several people were sitting, while the guards paddled the raft and slowly approached the forest on the opposite side.
Because the lake is a dead pool, the water does not flow, and there are many strange things floating on it.
The wooden oar swiped into the water, and immediately set off a nasty smell after another!
Disgusting.
Stomach rolling!
Li Cheng sat on it with his nose pinched, his whole face twisted together.
The smell was definitely the most disgusting he had ever smelled.
"The water stinks too much."
complaining.
The old official beside him also said, "It really stinks." He also covered his nose.
Li Cheng, "This smell... I really can't stand it. It's like there are a lot of corpses soaked in the lake."
Uh!
Only he can figure it out.
Jing Rong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly threw him a sentence, "You should hurry up and close your mouth so that the stench doesn't get into your throat."
remind him!
Li Cheng came to his senses: "You are right."
As he said that, he immediately covered his mouth.
Prevent bad odors from getting in.
Jing Rong couldn't help but smile.
Soon, the raft rowed across the lake.
This is a cluttered and very desolate forest.
After a few people got off the raft, the guards pulled the raft aside.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu didn't care whether their shoes would get dirty, and stepped directly on the muddy ground.
Li Cheng was a little concerned!
He has never been to such a place.
The moment his toes hit the ground, his brows furrowed.
It's like stepping on a landmine!
"I don't understand. You just investigate the case. What answers are you looking for here? Could it be that the murderer is not here." He said while carrying his robe.
Ji Yunshu ignored him and followed Jing Rong to the depths of the forest!
The two looked solemn the whole time.
"Wait for me." Li Cheng chased after him.
Ji Yunshu seemed to be looking for something as he walked along the forest.
Walk and watch.
Sudden-
Stopped under a big tree.
Ji Yunshu looked at the thing under the corner of the tree, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "I guessed right."
Jing Rong said, "Well, that's it."
What's in here
Li Cheng stared at it a few times and asked, "What's here? Is the murderer in the tree?"
puff-
This guy's brain...
Ji Yunshu pointed to the rows of rotten wooden stakes under the big tree, and said, "Cheng Shizi, look at what this is?"
Li Cheng fixed his eyes again, and only knew that it was wood, but he didn't know what it was.
He shook his head, "I don't know."
Jing Rong answered, "This is a raft, a raft that can only hold two people."
"The raft?" Li Cheng didn't believe it, so he leaned in to take a look, and touched his chin.
Still a little unclear.
Jing Rong: "This raft has been abandoned here for years!"
"But how do you know it's a raft?"
Jing Rong took out the handkerchief he was carrying, put it on his hand, then reached out to the dirty wood piled with sawdust and dirt, and pulled something out of it.
It is soft bamboo!
Bamboo is inherently rot-resistant, and even if it is exposed to wind and rain all year round, it will not have much impact.
"These soft bamboos are used to bind these woods, and there are more than one, and these woods are arranged in an orderly manner, so it is certain that this is a raft that has been abandoned for many years, but it is rained all the year round, and this forest It was also very wet, so the raft was slowly rotted away."
After listening to the explanation, Li Cheng understood, but—
He wondered, "What if it's a raft? What does this prove? What does this case have to do with it?"
Deep suspicion.
"Of course it has something to do with it!" Ji Yunshu said, "Let's move on, I'll explain to you later."
So, the five continued to go into the woods.
In fact, the forest is not very big.
After a few people walked for a while, they came to an end, and a mansion appeared in front of them!
A dilapidated, severely collapsed wooden house.
It looks like it has been uninhabited for at least 30 years.
Everyone entered the house and went forward along the backyard.
In front of the house is a long alley.
The alley is very dark!
After passing through this alley, I came to a somewhat remote street.
Ji Yunshu recognized this place.
It is only one street away from Wenshe.
Turn around and you will reach the back door of Wenshe.
At this moment, she really understood!
My suspicions have also been confirmed!
Li Cheng, the old official he brought over, and the guard were all stunned!
I don't understand what is the meaning of Ji Yunshu pulling them here for a walk
The old official asked, "Master Ji, what exactly is the murderer's method of murdering?"
Ji Yunshu was very calm: "Let's go back to where we were just now."
With that said, he went back along the same route just now.
Came to the rotten raft in front of.
Officials on the other side craned their necks to see them coming back.
One by one excitedly said: "Come here."
They all looked over there.
It's not far away, you can see people in the woods.
But I saw them standing under a tree and didn't move.
Here, Ji Yunshu slowly began to explain to Li Cheng, saying, "Don't you want to know how the murderer committed the murder? I'll tell you now!"
Li Cheng quickly cleared his ears.
Listen carefully.
When she saw Ji Yunshu walking to the raft, she said with certainty, "The murderer committed the murder through this raft."
Um
"In some details, the killer was a very smart person."
"Why do you say that?" Ji Yunshu continued to explain: "The murderer is worried that if Du Mubai's death is found to be a murder, then the officials will definitely find it here. Therefore, he must have a A very good alibi! He knows very well that the place opposite the pavilion has been abandoned for many years, and no one will go there at all! He also knows that the only way to get there is that alley, and in order to have an alibi, his only The solution is to avoid everyone's sight! Enter the pavilion quietly, and this solution is actually very simple, then
is by raft! "The raft
