"Where did you find Xiaosongzi and met the murderer?"
Sun Muqing frowned for a moment, and then asked a little puzzled.
Qin Wan didn't speak, but she stopped suddenly.
As soon as she stopped, a large group of people behind her also stopped. Qin Wan narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.
"It's here—"
Qin Wan was standing on a Chaoshou veranda. Right in front of him was the toilet that Uncle Dong had just mentioned, while to the west of her was an atrium. Opposite the atrium was another Chaoshou verandah leading to Elsewhere, Qin Wan looked around, "There is only one possibility for Xiao Songzi to leave his room in the middle of the night, and he needs to go to the toilet."
As Qin Wan said, she took another two steps forward. This time, she didn't go directly to the atrium, but walked to the intersection of the two corridors in front. She looked at the opposite corridor, "Just as he was about to When he got to the toilet, he saw the murderer."
Qin Wan's voice was solemn, and everyone's backs felt a little chilled when he said it directly, as if everyone had turned into a small pine nut, and then bumped into the insane murderer, Song Li also followed everyone, saying, "Why do you say that?! You Where did he go?"
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a passage leading directly to the yard where the crime happened at the end of the corridor opposite. Xiao Songzi saw the murderer's figure and followed him when he saw him sneaking around. The murderer found him following him , he would naturally choose to go to a remote place, he went to the gutter behind the yard, but unexpectedly, Xiao Songzi continued to follow."
Uncle Dong frowned slightly, "How does Miss Nine know that there is a corridor over there? Miss Nine has been here before?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "I haven't been here before, but only this kind of explanation can make sense. It snowed the night Xiao Songzi died, but whenever he walked out of the house in the snow, the soles of his shoes would rot. Wet, but the soles of his shoes are dry."
Qin Wan continued to move forward, took a detour and walked to the Chaoshou corridor on the opposite side, and walked along the corridor. Sure enough, a dim corridor appeared before Qin Wan's eyes. This corridor was sandwiched between two rows of main rooms. In the meantime, the eaves on the top were next to each other to block the wind and snow, so it was also done. Qin Wan continued to lead the people through the corridor, and as expected, she walked to the side of the courtyard where the crime occurred. She was next to the steps at the root of the courtyard wall. And walk, a circle, from the other side around to under the back gutter.
Xiao Songzi's body was lying on the ground coldly.
Sun Muqing's eyes widened in surprise immediately, Qin Wan led the road even if he hadn't walked it, but he actually arrived at the place where the crime happened, "Miss Nine... you are really... really better than my little junior sister !"
Qin Wan smiled wryly when she heard this. In the past, when she was in Yaowang Valley, she only occasionally talked about investigating cases with Sun Muqing, but she never really reasoned about the case in front of Sun Muqing. Now that she has solved the real case, it is naturally better than before. There are so many good things on paper, Qin Wan felt a little certain, and bent his lips towards Sun Muqing.
Song Li raised his brows, "Okay... Even if Miss Qin is right, who is the murderer?"
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Back then, Catcher Song said that Xiaosongzi didn't struggle when he died, but in fact he didn't, and judging from the scars on Xiaosongzi's body, it is very likely that the murderer snatched the knife from Xiaosongzi's hand. of."
"The murderer was sneaking around in the mansion in the middle of the night. Xiao Songzi became alert. His knife was most likely taken out of the utility room. As we saw just now, the place where Xiao Songzi found the murderer was very close to the utility room. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Dong immediately said, "That utility room is indeed a place where the servants who live nearby work for each other, and the utensils used in the kitchen are also piled there. Sharpen the knife, after sharpening the knife, the knife is stored there, and the utility room is not locked on weekdays."
Qin Wan nodded, "Xiao Songzi has a scratch on his right wrist and bruises, which means that the murderer scratched very hard. At the same time, there is a scar on his left face. I guess the murderer caught him. Xiaosongzi took the right hand holding the knife, and attacked with his own right hand, then Xiaosongzi's knife was taken away, and he lost his life."
"One thing is for sure, the murderer is a man, and he is a man with a monstrous hatred. It is even possible that he hates Xiaosongzi so much, but Xiaosongzi discovered his whereabouts, and that's how the murder took place."
Song Li frowned, "How can you be sure that he doesn't hate Xiaosongzi so much?!"
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes for a moment, "It's just because it wasn't a premeditated murder, it was a coincidence. If it wasn't Xiaosongzi who came out to relieve him that night but someone else, then the person who died might be someone else."
The corners of Song Li's lips twitched a few times, and he wanted to refute but couldn't. After hearing Qin Wan's words, the others felt that Qin Wan's words were not only very reasonable, but even the route that Xiao Songzi walked, what happened to the murderer, and the relationship between the two The scene of the fight was described in detail. Compared with Song Li's simple deduction, Qin Wan's words are obviously much more credible.
"Ninth girl, if this is the case, who is the murderer? And what is his purpose?"
When Uncle Dong asked earnestly, Qin Wan also began to ponder. She thought for a while before asking, "Uncle Dong, where is the corridor near the place where the little pine nut I mentioned just met the murderer?"
Dong Shu tilted his head and thought for a while, "The medicine storehouse is further ahead, and the benevolence hospital where the young master lives is in front of the medicine storehouse."
Qin Wan's eyes sank slightly, "Could it be that the murderer's target is Ren Xin Yuan?"
Uncle Dong was slightly surprised, "You mean... the murderer wanted to sneak into the Renxinyuan?"
Qin Wan pursed her lips, and before she could speak, Uncle Dong said, "That's impossible. The servants in the house are all good-natured and good-natured. Even if someone harbors evil intentions, they won't think of harming the young master, will they? The servants come to the mansion, but the young master will see the doctor personally if there is a headache, and the medicinal materials are taken casually, and no one will have any murderous intentions towards the young master."
Qin Wan sighed after hearing this, what Uncle Dong said was somewhat reasonable, and after all Qin Wan didn't understand the personalities and experiences of everyone in the house, so she could only use Uncle Dong's words as the standard.
Qin Wan stretched out his hand, "Uncle Dong, look at this, is there anyone in the house wearing clothes like this?"
Qin Wan's palm was lying on the piece of cotton silk. Uncle Dong took it over and looked at it carefully, then shook his head, "The quality of this cotton cloth is not very good, and the winter clothes that Young Master makes for the servants are better than this one. "
Qin Wan's eyes sank slightly, "Could it be... not someone from the house?"
"Is it not possible that the man changed his clothes when he went out to do bad things at night?"
Song Li suddenly asked another question. He was quite dissatisfied that Qin Wan had become the focus of everyone. He just wanted to show off his words, but he didn't expect Qin Wan to nod his head as soon as he said this, "It's possible."
Song Li opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.
Qin Wan looked at the cotton silk that Uncle Dong was holding, "Uncle Dong, these are the clothes worn by the murderer, and they are the most direct evidence. I don't know the personnel in the mansion. How to verify this depends on Catcher Song and Dong Dong. Uncle arranged."
What Qin Wan said was whether or not to search everyone's clothes. There is no other evidence. This is the most direct way. Uncle Dong nodded, "Thank you, Miss Jiu, I have to search even for the pine nuts."
Song Li snorted lightly when he heard the words, "Aren't we going to search..."
After the words fell, Song Li felt a cold gaze sweeping towards him. He straightened his back and turned to look, but saw that it was Qin Yan who was looking at him. Showing his anger, he showed a lot of respect to Qin Wan. Qin Wan turned to look at Xiao Songzi's body, "Let's bury him first."
Xiao Songzi's body has been waiting here for two days, but Song Li and his party came here are a few idiots. Xiao Lizi and others who had been friends with Xiao Songzi on weekdays have long been unable to bear it. Now that Qin Wan said this, Dong Shu also let go He took a deep breath, "Okay, thank you, Miss Nine."
Qin Wan nodded and said "Yes", now she has said everything she can think of, but she can't do anything else for the time being. After all, it is a case that has been covered up by heavy snow, and it is impossible to just rely on the corpse. The murderer was locked out, Qin Wan took two steps back, frowned and thought of the speculation just now, why did the murderer wander there in the middle of the night
Could it be that his target was a servant of the servants
Qin Wan shook his head. The possibility of this is too small. The small rooms are next to each other. If you want to commit murder, it is better to wait for the servants to go out to work and order. Qin Wan still prefers the murderer. The target may be the surrounding area. Somewhere in the house, but the one that is closer there is the Renxin Yuan, but who in this house would dare to have murderous intentions towards Sun Haoyue
Or, the murderer didn't intend to kill people that night
But if it wasn't for the purpose of killing people, why did they torture and kill Xiaosongzi
Who is this cruel hatred for
"Ninth sister, I'm fine for now, let's go back first."
Qin Yan's voice brought back Qin Wan's thoughts. Once Qin Wan came back to his senses, he happened to meet Qin Yan's deep eyes. Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly. Qin Yan has a new view on her. Qin Wan and Qin Yan looked at each other for a moment, their eyes were firm and determined, neither dodging nor dodging. She didn't want to push the case to get the limelight, but if Qin Yan could make Qin Yan think highly of herself, it seemed that she would It's good, after all, what she wants to do is to be silent, weak and deceitful.
"Okay, go back and wait for news from Uncle Dong..."
Qin Wan nodded, and Qin Shuang, who hadn't spoken the whole time, walked up to Qin Wan. She looked at Qin Wan with bright eyes, "God, how did you do it? I used to think you were stupid. You were so stupid just now." Takes my breath away...”
Qin Shuang's exclamation was undisguised, and Qin Wan couldn't help laughing.
Being praised by Qin Shuang for being smart doesn't seem to be a very happy thing. "I just thought of it. Everything has a cause and effect. What we see now is the result. If you push it backwards, you will naturally find some clues."
"Miss Nine!" Sun Muqing called softly, and strode up, "Who told you Miss Jiu just now?"
Qin Wan turned to look at Sun Muqing, feeling a little nervous, "I just thought of it, what's wrong?"
Sun Muqing looked at Qin Wan seriously for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "What a coincidence, my little junior sister also said this before." After the words settled down, Sun Muqing said deeply, "I don't know why, I always feel that the nine girls It's a bit like my little junior sister... "
