Zhumen Hangui

chapter 60
Su Yizhao wiped off the veil on the petals of one of the brocade flowers, grabbed three places in total, squeezed all the flowers and skinned them, and finally gave up.

"If you don't observe carefully, this blood stain is not easy to find!"

As Su Yizhao said, he handed the handkerchief to Li Tuiguan first, and Li Tuiguan quickly took it for a look, and was immediately surprised.

In fact, Su Yizhao didn't notice it before, but he only noticed it because he wanted to observe the objects on the desk.

The faces of Mrs. Yang, mother and daughter changed drastically, and they cuddled together with extremely complicated eyes.

"The traces under the potted plant are left by watering the flowers for many years, which shows that this potted plant is usually placed here. It also shows that the place where Brother Zhu was killed was not in front of the desk, but next to this bookshelf."

As Su Yizhao spoke, she looked at the bookshelf beside her, and saw a small hidden compartment from the bottom of the bookshelf to her chest.

If it was Zhu Tian, ​​the height of the small hidden compartment should not reach Zhu Tian's waist and abdomen.

"Brother Zhu is quite tall. If he was standing, it would be difficult to hit him in the back of the head. Most men or women of average stature have to take advantage of his unpreparedness when he bends down or sits down to hit him. succeed."

When everyone heard the words, they thought it made sense, Zhang Weilue thought for a while, and said, "Then why did he bend down?"

Su Yizhao smiled brightly, "Perhaps, this is the murderer's motive!"

After being told by Su Yizhao, everyone's minds were completely muddled.

"Could it be that Li Ping'er killed Zhu Tian for some other reason?"

The head of the mountain has also become messy. This murder case is really full of twists and turns.

Li Pinger suddenly turned pale with panic, "I remembered wrongly, I didn't pay attention because I was too flustered at the time. Now that you say it like this, it's true, I knocked him on the back of the head while he was bending over."

"He bent down to open this secret compartment. Presumably the things in this secret compartment are very important? The murderer just didn't want people to know what was in the secret compartment, so he lied."

Su Yizhao didn't pay attention to Li Pinger's excuse, but continued.

She noticed just now that Li Ping'er didn't even look at the case that Li Tuiguan pointed out, and responded casually. This is not the reaction a murderer should have.

Everyone's eyes turned to the hidden compartment again. This piece of solid wood looks like carvings from a distance, but when you look closely, you can find tiny gaps in it.

"Ah Shou, Senior Brother Qu, when you were looking for money, did you come across this hidden space?" Su Yizhao asked the two of them.

Qu Liuyun shook his head hastily, "I didn't know he had a hidden compartment here, and I looked for the bookshelf too, but I didn't pay attention to that place!"

Ah Shou also shook his head, "No! The villain doesn't come to the young master's house very often, I don't know, but the box was placed on the young master's bookshelf at that time."

Su Yizhao nodded, "That's it!"

She gently pushed the secret compartment and found that the secret compartment was opened just like that.

Everyone looked forward in surprise and found that the hidden compartment was very small, less than a foot long and only half a foot wide.

"The box can't fit. This secret compartment can only hold some letters or bank notes. And this secret compartment is actually opened, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open it easily."

"Oh! The slit you saw just now is actually not closed. If it is closed, it may be a perfect fit!" Li Tuiguan suddenly realized.

"At this moment, the secret compartment is empty, which means that the things have been taken away! According to common sense, the things put in the secret compartment are very important. It is impossible for senior brother Zhu to forget to close it. This can only be done by the murderer. In a hurry, nothing Closing is also possible.”

As Su Yizhao said, he moved out the book on the side, "It can be seen that this place has been moved. After removing the book, there is a small mechanism in the hidden compartment, and the connection is here."

Everyone probed to see, and found that after the book was moved, there was a small groove there.This small groove seems to be inserted into the key.

"If I hadn't looked carefully just now, I really wouldn't have noticed the secret compartment here. The murderer thought that the secret compartment was closed, but he didn't think it was really a secret, and there would be a leak!"

Li Tuiguan lamented that the murderer's mind was meticulous, but he met Su Yizhao.

"Brother Zhu bent down to get the things in the secret compartment at that time, but he didn't want to be attacked from behind, so he died."

Su Yizhao made a simple guess, and everyone agreed that the matter was so clear.

"Yes! He was not on guard against me at the time. I knew there was a bank note in his secret compartment, so I smashed him to death while he was unaware. I killed him not only because he mocked me, but also because I wanted to kill him. silver."

At this moment, Li Pinger suddenly made a sound, and she continued: "I wanted to take the bank note and fly away, I even packed my bags, and I just waited for my mother to leave together!"

"Then why did your mother come to work today? Wouldn't it be better to leave overnight yesterday?" Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows and asked.

Li Ping'er was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I'm just afraid that you will be suspicious."

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Su Yizhao interrupted, "Where is the 500 taels bank note now?"

Li Pinger immediately raised her head to look at Su Yizhao, her eyes were full of pleading, "I'm at my house."

Su Yizhao understood what she meant, but half-closed his eyes and shook his head, "You know, I'll find out when I go to your house to check later, why do you lie?"

Li Ping'er covered her face and wept, "I killed the man, and I did it!"

"It's not worth it!" Su Yizhao shook his head, eyes full of pity.

Li Tuiguan looked at Li Ping'er, he felt that there was a lot of inside story here.

"What's in this hidden compartment? You mean the 500 taels bank note? But if that's the case, then there's no need to hide it, and it's not true!" Li Tuiguan asked.

"I'm afraid it's not just a silver ticket, it's also related to the monthly and quarterly exams, right?"

Su Yizhao looked at Li Ping'er and said something astonishing, but there was a person hidden by the side, looking at Su Yizhao with blood red eyes.

"The way to enter Fengtian Academy must be better understood by you than me!"

Su Yizhao noticed that someone was staring at her in the dark, but she didn't look there.

"The grades are mediocre, every monthly exam is at the bottom, and the family is poor, but still enters the academy to study."

Su Yizhao rubbed his sleeve with his hands, and said suddenly.

Everyone didn't know why, what Su Yizhao meant by these words, but Mrs. Yang, mother and daughter were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the crowd.

His eyes were fixed on that person, the person suddenly smiled and said hoarsely: "I killed people, don't embarrass them anymore."

He walked towards the place where Li Tuiguan was, and when he got close, he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"The real culprit is me!" There were tears in his eyes, but his face was relaxed.

"Junior Brother Su is right, how can you bear it?" He closed his eyes tightly, and finally made the right choice this time.

Everyone was shocked, what's going on?Some of them can't understand.

Qu Liuyun was shocked and asked, "How could it be you?"
