"I am..." Lianhua said with some timidity, "For self-protection and self-defense."

"Self-protection? From whom?" Su Bai continued to ask: "Who wants to hurt you?"

"They." Lianhua pointed to the wife of the owner of the rice shop: "They said they wanted to kill me. After I escaped, I ran into the warrior."

"Oh?" Su Bai glanced at Keiko: "Is this true?"

"My lord, you can't believe her words!" The woman immediately retorted sharply and loudly: "She killed my master, that's why I said that, and called on other people to help catch the murderer. I, a weak woman, can't catch her!"

"Hmm..." Su Bai touched his chin: "That is to say, you think she is the murderer, so you want to arrest her?"

"Yes." The witnesses on the side also nodded.

"But when you drove her away at first, she didn't have scissors in her hand?" Su Bai asked back.

"This, we can't remember..."

"But I can hear you clearly." Su Bai continued, "It was because of you making noises, chasing, chasing, that's why she pulled the scissors out of the corpse."

"Yes, it should be like this." A witness said uncertainly.

"Don't ask me, I don't remember, I was scared when I saw the corpse."

"I remember, it should be like this..." Several other witnesses looked at each other in blank dismay.

"It seems that my conjecture is correct, so a new problem has arisen." Su Baituo held up the blood-stained scissors: "Obviously she didn't hold the scissors at the time, but why did you immediately conclude... Is she the murderer?"

"This is a simple logical derivation." Su Bai held the scissors: "If she was not driven away, there is no need to pick up the scissors for self-defense, then she has already been identified as the murderer before that, why do you have such thoughts? , I'm curious."

It is said to be curious, but in fact, suspicious eyes have already fallen on these people.

The people who looked at each other began to sweat. The per capita education level in this era is not high, and most of the psychological activities and reactions will be shown on their faces.

Even the more philistine and slippery people are only relatively smarter, and they won't be fooled if they have a little power of observation.

"No one is talking now?" Su Bai snorted coldly: "Didn't you let Ben Fengxing decide the case? Is this a library?"

He continued to apply pressure, and Tufang also cooperated with his hand on the knife, and said: "If there is any intention to hide, I'm afraid I will ask you to stay in the cell. When do you think about it? When will we talk about it?"

This sentence was regarded as a threat on the surface, so one member of the public immediately succumbed.

"I, I don't know anything, I'm not actually a witness." A middle-aged man overturned the previous statement: "I didn't see her committing murder, I just saw her jump out of the window, but Because of her sneaky look, so..."

"So you think she is a murderer?" Su Bai asked again.

"No, no, Master Fengxing, it was early in the morning when I found her, I didn't know that someone would die, so I thought she was just a thief who came to steal food, and I planned to drive her away, but ended up killing her within two steps. I heard..." The middle-aged man looked at Keiko aside: "I heard her scream, saying that her husband was killed, and it happened that she was also holding scissors at that time."

"Yes, yes, I also heard screams, and then saw her escape from the room with scissors in her hand." Another person followed suit.

"Me too." The last person immediately started a repeater.

In a few words, everyone's confession was turned over, from seeing the murder with their own eyes to not seeing it with their own eyes.

The rapidity of this change was somewhat disconcerting, and the warriors of the patrol were displeased, because it meant that they had been deceived and fooled.

But at the same time, this is also normal. Even witnesses may perjure or lie. This group of people has enough time to testify, so they can naturally maintain a consistent external confession, but as long as one person changes his mouth, the others must Then change your mouth.

In fact, this group of people just nodded along. They couldn't tell exactly what they saw or remembered.

The collection of confessions in many cases is ambiguous. Unless there is an exact video, many confessions can only be used as a reference, because people's short-term memory is not reliable, it is easy to be tampered with, or it is easily affected by subjective consciousness.

Some people can’t even remember what they put in their pockets for ten minutes, let alone how many pieces of meat they ate at noon today or what they ate the night before. Performed unconsciously.

Therefore, the confessions of the people who eat melons are not reliable.

Naturally... People with clear memories and the ability to describe what happened in an orderly manner and in sufficient detail are not non-existent, but it is precisely this kind of people who will become the focus of attention. , will not remember so clearly, but it proves that there is a problem with this person.

The people who eat melons don't need to look at it, Su Bai focused on the wife of the deceased.

According to others, her scream was the key, after which Lianhua rushed out of the room with scissors, which proves...

"Are you the first to discover the corpse?" Su Bai asked unhurriedly, "When did you find out that your husband was dead?"

"Master Hui Fengxing, it was this morning." Keiko showed calmness. She was a little flustered at first, but she quickly calmed down and stopped doing the previous actions. She didn't approach without authorization, and just stood there to accept the question.

This performance is exactly two extremes from before. Before, she behaved like a crazy woman after losing her husband. Now she has shown an excellent psychological quality when she is exposed to a series of questionable confessions.

"What time is it in the morning?" Su Bai asked again.

"Not long after the sky dawned, I came to deliver breakfast, because my master occasionally stays here to take care of the warehouse."

"and then?"

"Then I came in. I just came here, and when I opened the door, I saw the master's body, with a pair of scissors stuck in his chest, and he was lying on the tatami mat." Keiko wiped the corners of her eyes as she said.

Su Bai walked past several people and walked into the room next to the warehouse. From here, he could see the traces of footprints coming in and out, which was very messy. There was a pool of blood on the ground in the front hall. The red blood stained the tatami, a large area of ​​bright red The blood stains are very conspicuous.

This should be the scene of the murder case. The doors and windows of this room are concealed and unlocked. Because the law and order around here is good, as long as there are people in the house, thieves dare not enter easily. It is indeed not necessary to invade this house. not difficult.

Thin girls like Lianhua can easily enter through small gaps.

Su Bai continued to observe, the room as a whole did not look messy, on the contrary, it was quite tidy, whether it was clothes, bedding, bowls and chopsticks, etc., there was only one person, although there was a sense of life, it was a bit deserted.

"The deceased usually lives in this house alone?" Su Bai asked Keiko.

"My master is used to living alone here, and I will be responsible for delivering some food to him." Keiko said and glanced at the food box that fell on the ground.
