[One update today, slowly, two updates tomorrow. 】

The person who triggered the mechanism was either in the alley or in the house at the bottom of the alley? !

Huang Bin was shocked when he heard the words, and for a moment he forgot the superiority and inferiority, and blurted out questioning: "Sir, are you mistaken?!"

No wonder he reacted like this. Before Sun Shaozong and the others rushed over, the alley was already blocked, and all the people who could come and go were government officials.

Sun Shaozong just said these words, didn't he mean that the yamen who were present at the time were actually mixed with the gangsters of the thieves, and even planned to assassinate the fourth-rank high-ranking officials? !

This…

How is this possible? !

However, after the questioning, Huang Bin quickly reacted - not to mention that Master Sun has the name of Divine Judgment, even if it is just an ordinary official who does not know the name of the punishment, how can he allow the district yamen to question him face to face

Thinking of this, Huang Bin's knees suddenly softened, and he knelt down in a hurry, with a trembling voice in his mouth: "The villain... the villain is clumsy for a while, there is no other meaning!"

Saying that, he slapped his two big mouths heavily.

However, Sun Shaozong ignored him, instead staring at the hand crossbow full of walls and frowning, first looking carefully at the middle and upper parts, then his eyes slowly moved down, then the head, neck, waist...

In the end, he was almost invisible, lying on the bottom of the wall - and his sight was also fixed on a hole that was almost touching the ground.

It was the only hole without a hand crossbow, but it could never have been used for prying—unless what the dead wanted to see was the dirt in the alley across the wall.

Looking at the slender traces on the inside of the cave wall, Sun Shaozong frowned more and more tightly.

This small hole is very likely to be the fuse of the killing just now.

and…

It has also been given the purpose of recovering incriminating evidence!

As I said before, there were traces of friction on the arms of those hand crossbows, and the marks on each arm were slightly different.

The difference is the location of the friction marks.

For the hand crossbow on the left side of the earth wall, the friction marks are on the upper left of the machine bracket; on the right side, it appears on the upper right;

At first glance, this sounds like all nonsense.

But it actually implicitly pointed out where the 'fuse' that pulled the machine bracket extended from—if the thief was operating from the front, the most important force-bearing surface would undoubtedly be the inside of the machine bracket, not the slanted upwards.

These traces now fully prove that the strength of the pulling force actually comes from the foot of the earth wall, which is the hole that is almost touching the ground!

And after triggering the hand crossbow, the 'fuse' tied to the machine bracket was further pulled off by the murderer, and then passed through the hole.

The evidence is the line-like traces in the hole, which almost fill the whole wall of the hole-this must be the traces left when many threads pass through the hole at the same time.

Sun Shaozong stood up suddenly, and under Huang Bin's suspicious eyes, he took a few steps back, grabbed the earth wall with a quick run, and neatly turned back to the alley.

After jumping to the ground against the south wall, Sun Shaozong immediately lowered his body again and looked at the hole on the ground.

But I saw that the ground was empty, and there was no trace of thread slipping.

What's going on here

It stands to reason that since the 'lead' is triggered from outside the hole, it should leave some traces.

Even if it was laid out at the beginning, no traces were left on the ground, and when all the threads were pulled out later, traces should be left.

This is really strange, that trace has disappeared...

and many more!

A flash of light flashed in Sun Shaozong's mind, but he was too lazy to get up. He used both hands and feet to move five or six paces away.

wrong!

It shouldn't be pulled like this, because it's so conspicuous.

Sun Shaozong stopped the movement of his hand, thought for a moment, and then a few fingers began to swirl strangely again, as if something was constantly entangled in his hand.

After a while, he suddenly stopped all movements, then suddenly reached out to his arms, and reached out with his left hand to grab it.

Yes!

It should be so!

As long as the string of the trigger mechanism is arranged a little above the ground in advance, when it is pulled behind, it is always taut, and finally, when the 'loops' are stuck in the hole, it will be pulled out with one stroke. .

In this way, there will be no traces left, and the string that is set on the machine bracket will be kept in the bag without traces.

If so, there should be...

Sun Shaozong turned around and began to search the ground.

After a while, he pulled out a slender iron wedge not far away.

Sure enough!

This should be what was originally used to secure the 'leads'.

But if that's the case, isn't that the only person who can do it

But that doesn't make sense

Not to mention that he has no reason to attack Daoyan's master and apprentice, even if there is really a shameful reason, he shouldn't harm his mother-in-law, right

He is a well-known dutiful son in the capital!

That's right, the object of Sun Shaozong's suspicion right now is Su Xingfang, who died in grief.

Just now, he was the only one who had the opportunity to stumble upon his uncle, and then help the corpse cry, untied the noose on the iron wedge, and quietly retracted the threads.

Thinking about it now, he was still wearing a big cloak outside, not to mention Sun Shaozong, and even the two officers in the front right could hardly see his every move.

It was in chaos at the time, and the alley was already dark, so this technique in plain sight had a prerequisite for completion.

But what about his motives? !

What is Su Xingfang's motive to concoct such a trap and still lose his mother-in-law

In fact, it's just my mother-in-law, and I can barely explain it by tail docking.

But if Sun Shaozong hadn't acted in time, he would have been shot by several poisonous arrows himself!

If all this was really his design, how could he not be on guard

It's not like he set up these organs just to drag him to his funeral, right

Or did he think he would definitely save him

But at that moment, even Sun Shaozong himself might not be able to escape...

Makes no sense!

It really doesn't make sense!

The traces at the scene all indicated Su Xingfang's suspicion, but his actions did not seem to be the culprit behind all this.

"grown ups."

Frowning his brows, he squatted on the ground and thought hard. Chen Jingde, who finally recovered his strength, cautiously approached and asked, "Do you think we can check the blood stains in the room?"

"Check, of course, check!"

Sun Shaozong suddenly stood up and ordered: "Take that Huang Bin and investigate carefully here!"

"As for this officer..."

"There are still some things that can't be said, I have to talk to Su Zhixian well!"
