A trace of disdain appeared on Shao Xiaoling's face when she heard Bailifu.
She muttered: "This fellow Bailifu is getting more and more slippery in his words, and I always feel that I can't take it seriously. He said there are clues to the murder case. I have asked many times, but he hesitated and couldn't tell why."
Zhang Xiaolei curiously asked: "How is your relationship with Bailifu?"
"It's a nodding acquaintance or a friend..." Shao Xiaoling said, "He often comes to me and brags to me about what he sees and hears. Some are true, but some are fake. I don't know what to do. Don't believe him."
"Well… "
Zhang Xiaolei was not in a hurry, investigating the situation in the room.
Secretly.
I found an underpass in the room before.
Zhang Xiaolei was thinking, will there be other secret passages in the room
Otherwise, how to explain the sudden appearance of the murderer
How else did the murderer bring the coffin in
He believes that there must be an underpass in the room.
Because Huayuelou will not let people come in with coffins.
Zhang Xiaolei suddenly remembered that when Lian He turned things around in his performance, there was a chopping board under the box.
"By the way, what does Bailifu brag to you?"
"Either tell me how I lied, or say I saw something strange..." Shao Xiaoling recalled, "he used to brag to me, saying that on the day Master Shao died, he watched the stars at night and found a star that had fallen. At that time, it was calculated that something was going to happen in Yuncheng."
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiaolei came with interest, and he asked: "Where is he watching the stars at night?"
"His Observatory was built by himself..." Shao Xiaoling said casually, "In fact, it is a simple bamboo building. He is well-known as Observatory. As far as I know, he sometimes offends people, once the enemy When he came to the door, he hid in the Star Watching Terrace."
"Where is the Star Watching Platform?"
"On the top of a hillside outside the city, the hill doesn't even have a name."
"Are there any people?"
"Of course not."
Zhang Xiaolei smiled slightly, and he whispered: "Don't dislike me, let me ask more. He personally said that on the day of Master Shao's death, he was on a deserted hillside, watching the sky from his star-gazing platform, right? ?"
Shao Xiaoling said: "Yes."
"Well, I see. You look here again, I'll check it elsewhere."
"Go ahead."
Zhang Xiaolei sneaked out of the room and went to the next room again.
The next room is empty without any guests.
Zhang Xiaolei thought that if this time it wasn't a ghost killing his life, it would be a man-made scene.
However, it is a difficult task to move the coffin in.
The coffin is a breakthrough.
If you can find out how the coffin was brought into the Huayue Tower, you might be able to find a series of clues.
He checked the room on the left, but didn't see any clues.
So he went to the room on the right again.
The room on the right is the back of the Huayue Tower.
As soon as he entered this room, Zhang Xiaolei suddenly became energetic.
Compared with the previous two rooms, there is an extra balcony here.
From the balcony, you can see the outside scene.
This is behind the Huayue Tower, there is a field, after a field, there are other houses.
Zhang Xiaolei looked at the handrail of the balcony, but saw traces of rubbing on it.
He stood here, lost in reverie.
late at night.
People have rested.
There are no lights here and it's pitch black.
Someone hung the coffin with a rope and dragged the coffin up.
The rope rubbed on the railing, leaving traces.
"Is it here..."
Zhang Xiaolei looked at the room, the wall separating the deceased's room.
On this wall, there is a bed.
He walked to the bed, then pulled hard, pulling the bed aside.
At this moment, he could see that there were some sawdust in the corner, and there were two small holes in the corner.
Small hole...
Zhang Xiaolei sat on the ground, staring at the small hole in a daze.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly took out two iron wires, twisted out a bend, and stuffed them into two small holes.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled the wire, and the wooden board in front was torn apart.
After pulling it apart, he could easily see the movement of the deceased's room.
Shao Xiaoling was playing with a hip flask in the room. With her back to Zhang Xiaolei, she didn't realize that there was a secret way.
Zhang Xiaolei hurriedly stuffed the wooden board back.
This wooden board is behind the high table in the deceased's room.
The high table was decorated with porcelain vases.
What's interesting is that the legs of the high table just block two small holes, making them invisible.
Under the recommendation, the chase app I am using recently, cache reading, offline reading!
Zhang Xiaolei stood up, and went to the back of the railing again, carefully inspecting the scratches on it.
These scratches are all gathered together, and only one of them is particularly deep.
Zhang Xiaolei judged that this should be an independent case.
The murderer first fixed the rope to the railing, then climbed down the rope and tied the rope to the coffin.
Then he climbed up the rope again and dragged the coffin up again.
As usual.
One person, definitely can't move the coffin.
But after seeing the hole, Zhang Xiaolei was sure that the coffins were brought up in batches.
This is an assembled coffin, which is divided into various components and brought up, and then formed into a coffin.
There are two reasons why the coffin can be determined to be assembled.
First: This small hole allows only one person to climb in at most, which is not enough for the entire coffin to enter, but it can be entered in batches.
Second: The coffin is leaking.
If it is a wooden coffin, it is impossible to leak water.
Only this kind of assembled coffin with some gaps in it will cause water leakage.
Zhang Xiaolei suddenly discovered that after solving this mystery, there was a vague sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"It's no wonder that Mister always says not to believe in ghosts..." He murmured, "Man is a ghost, and a ghost is a man. There are no ghosts in this world. People make up an excuse to scare themselves when they encounter something they don't understand.
There is just one more thing, Zhang Xiaolei can't understand.
If the coffin was assembled in Huayuelou, how did the murderer do it
He was already certain that the murderer sent the coffin components to the secret tunnel under the bed first, and then began to assemble.
But the sound of assembling the coffin is so loud, and you have to beat it with a hammer, you will definitely be found out.
Holding this doubt, Zhang Xiaolei returned to the deceased's room.
Shao Xiaoling was still playing with the hip flask. She saw Zhang Xiaolei coming in and asked curiously: "Have you found any clues?"
Zhang Xiaolei shook his head and showed a wry smile: "I haven't found it yet, how about you?"
"Neither did I..." Shao Xiaoling sighed, "You said, what can you do about it? You only have six days left, when my father asks you if he wants to..."
Zhang Xiaolei smiled and asked: "You also know that your father is going to deal with me, so how come you still help me?"
Shao Xiaoling said seriously: "My father is not dealing with you, he just wants to find the murderer. Also, you are my friend, of course I want to help you."
"Then, please do me a favor."
"What's busy?"
"Help me get a girl." (End of this chapter)
