The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

In the daytime, the merits of Fayuan Temple are solemn and solemn, especially the Buddha reliefs on the stele, all of which are majestic and solemn, showing a view of the pure land of Buddhism.

But in the dark night, when you were in it, you could see the shadow of the stone stele, and it felt like there was only a bit of soil steamed buns from the cemetery.

Especially from time to time, there will be a few barkings of wild dogs from nowhere, and those who are less courageous may not dare to go deep into it.

Sun Shaozong’s courage is unquestionable, so after arriving at Fayuan Temple, in order to hurry, he simply went past the temple gate and didn’t enter. He went straight to the temple and didn’t even pick a lantern, so he strode into the Kungfu Forest with a stride. .

Although it is difficult to tell the location in the dark, Sun Shaozong found the scene of the murder easily following the only light of fire.

The several government officials guarding this place were sitting around the bonfire. Seeing Sun Shaozong suddenly appeared, they hurriedly got up and stepped forward to give salutes.

It's not easy to spend the night in the wilderness on this big night. Sun Shaozong originally wanted to encourage them to show his usual style of being close to the people, but as soon as he got closer, he smelled a sour smell of alcohol.

Obviously, these guys were just drinking together secretly.

He immediately didn't bother to spend more words and words, and only told straightforwardly: "Get me a torch!"

The bureaucrats knew they had violated the rules, and they all shucked their hands, lest Sun Shaozong blamed him, but he did not pursue them. They were immediately amnesty. You vie for me. They lighted a torch made of bark and rosin. They were respectful. Jing sent it to Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong took the torch, and circled the scene for a while, and found the footprints he had stepped on during the day. Only then did he cautiously reach the place where Jienian's corpse was lying down, and carefully examined the dog paw prints on the ground.

Through the flower embossment on the soles of mandarin ducks, Sun Shaozong roughly inferred that the murderer might have used a similar technique to sculpt dog paws on the soles of the shoes. After the attack, he would drive the wild dogs around here and take his own footprints. The fish eyes are hidden.

With this technique, if there is only one dog paw on each shoe sole, it is naturally indistinguishable from the many messy dog ​​paw prints.

However, the paws of ordinary wild dogs are much smaller than the soles of human feet. If only a dog paw is carved out, the murderer is equivalent to stepping on a stilt. It is already difficult to maintain balance, and it is after the rain. On the slippery ground, the difficulty of the assault is simply outrageous.

And once the flaws are seen by Jienian, you can be killed in minutes!

This kind of risk, I am afraid that a fool would not take it, let alone the murderer is still cautious.

Therefore, there should be at least two dog paws engraved under the murderer's feet, so as to maintain a better balance.

But in this way, every foot of the murderer will leave dog paw prints equally spaced in the mud. If it is unintentional, it will still be difficult to distinguish, but since Sun Shaozong has peeked through the murderer’s mechanism, look for it again. Naturally it is much simpler.

But even so, Sun Shaozong searched for more than a quarter of an hour before finally discovering the three dog paw prints that were equidistantly arranged in the shape of a fringe!

"What a cunning guy!"

Looking at the dog's paw print, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but laughed and cursed with a smile.

It turns out that the three dog's paw prints are not only different in size, but also in different orientations. At first glance, there is no way to tell the strangeness. If Sun Shaozong had already made a conclusion, he had gone through repeated comparisons. , I can’t say I really want to be fooled by it.

After laughing and scolding, Sun Shaozong straightened up and instructed the officials who were watching from a distance: "Leave two people here, and the rest will bring more torches and follow behind the official!"

Naturally, the officials did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly left two people with bad eyesight guarding here, and the rest followed Sun Shaozong, following the dog paw print in the shape of the character, looking for the mountains and forests to the north.

In the beginning, it was quite difficult for Sun Shaozong to find a lot of traces during the search.

But as he gradually moved away from the scene of the crime, the dog's paw prints in the shape of the character lost their concealment, and there was nowhere to hide.

At this time, the servants behind finally discovered the strangeness of the paw prints, and they were all inexplicably excited. If Sun Shaozong had not explained, let them follow behind him, saying that they would not rush to the front early.

And just like this all the way to the northeast corner of Gongdelin, the dog paw prints suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by the footprints of ordinary human shoes.

Obviously, after arriving here, the murderer took off the shoes carved with dog paws.

Sun Shaozong's spirit was lifted up. He wanted to investigate immediately and probed the torch, but he almost burned his fingers. Only then did he discover that the torch had burned less than a foot in length.

"Quickly get a new torch for me!"

So he hurriedly asked the servant behind him for an unused torch. After lighting it with the old one, he lay down on the ground and checked it inch by inch.

Not long after, Sun Shaozong found some fresh sawdust in the middle of those footprints.

The murderer was really cautious. Before discarding the dog's paw print shoes, he broke them into pieces!

Rubbing the solid and heavier sawdust, Sun Shaozong looked up at the dense jungle not far away, and immediately dispelled the idea of ​​going in to search for debris and weapons, let alone whether he could find it, let it go in with a torch, in case it doesn’t. Be careful to light the fire, it's not a joke.

So he carefully put away the fragment ~www.readwn.com~ and searched the neighborhood carefully.

But this time, it took about two quarters of an hour before he found two thread ends that had been stepped into the mud in the middle of a footprint.

These two thin threads are only the thickness of the hair, slightly curved, showing a dark yellow color. The whole body is only half the length of a fingernail, but Sun Shaozong carefully squeezed it out of the mud and placed it in front of his eyes for a long time. But like a treasure, he laughed.

It is a pity that the status of the servants around him is too low, and no one comes up to ask, "Why are you laughing," which greatly reduced his surprise.

So after a few laughs, Sun Shaozong raised his hand and said decisively: "Let's go, go to the temple with the official to be serious and fierce!"

As the so-called cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, if the murderer had not arranged a mechanism to try to link the death of Jienian and the evildoer, but only discarded the murder weapon after killing someone, Sun Shaozong would really not be able to catch him.

But right now...

If Sun Shaozong's expectation is not bad, just a simple inspection will reveal the true culprit!
