Chapter 328 Bows and Arrows Showing Their Feet

The rain in the sky had stopped, and the coolness that had just come from the rain was soon swept away by the sultry heat of midsummer. In this steamer-like heat, the chessmen felt the cold as cold as the severe winter, and they couldn't help but their teeth were trembling.

Yang Qiuchi hugged her shoulders: "If you come out now and confess honestly and honestly, if the feelings are understandable, I can also consider taking it lighter at the discretion of the matter. Otherwise, when I find you out, I will definitely punish you strictly without lending!"

The twelve ban Yi looked at each other again, all guessing who the murderer was. After waiting for a while, no one stood up.

Yang Qiuchi sneered: "What? Do you think I am scaring you?" He turned his head to look at Song Yun'er next to him. Seeing her smiling at her, she was a little worried. He reached out to hold her slender hand and said confidently: "This person hastily killed someone, leaving many clues. Let's see how your brother will pull him out."

After glanced at the ban chess, Yang Qiuchi said: "The deceased chess, butler Su, was just taken to the jail. The murderer accurately used my time to interrogate Lin Xiang for the most tea, committed the murder, and accurately avoided the sight of other brothers in the prison, and shot steward Su from a long distance with a bow and arrow that was not in the prison. This shows that the murderer knew the layout of the jail, the location where the chessmen were on duty, and the actions of me, the master, during the interrogation, so the murderer must be the person in the prison!"

After listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, Song Yuner nodded repeatedly, with a happy smile on her lips, and looked at him with an almost admiring look.

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the two or three feet high wall of the prison next to him and said, "The deceased was shot to death by a bow and arrow, so to solve this case, we must first find out how the bow and arrow came from. To be honest, before I became an official, I was the supervisor of a county government office. I have been in charge of the prison for a long time and are very familiar with the yamen cells."

Yang Qiuchi not only did not hide his glorious experience, but was a little proud. He shook his head and continued: "The yamen prison is very cautious. He must come in from outside, pass through the three thresholds of the yamen gate, the prison cell gate, and the gate of the yard. All must be strictly inspected. Strangers cannot enter the cell, and they are even more unlikely to enter the prison cell. This further proves my inference. The murderer is the person here!"

"In addition, the weapon is a bow and arrow, which cannot be brought into the cell, because the rules of the yamen do not allow the weapon to be brought into it, especially the prison gate and the second door of the serious prison cell. The search is even more strict."

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the waist knife that was slung around the waist of the Jinyi people and said, "Your waist knife is also stored in the prison room, including when you enter and exit. You must check it. Although you don't need to search, you can't carry a weapon, let alone bring a bow and arrow in. Am I right?"

The ban chess nodded one after another, and the prison leader Liuzhi Wu said with a smile: "The Lord is so familiar with the yamen prison. It turns out that the Lord has also done our business, so he can be regarded as our fellow brothers..."

Just now, Liuzhi Wu Hu felt that it was wrong. This ban chess belonged to the untouchables. How can he be brothers with the Lord? Even if the Lord did the land, he was still in charge of the chess. He was the chief follower of the county magistrate, not the untouchables. It was really inappropriate to speak for himself. He quickly slapped himself a few words and said, "The villain is talking nonsense. Please forgive me, Sir."

Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly, waved his hand, and continued, "Since the murder weapon, bow and arrow cannot be brought in from the door of the cell, and Butler Su has just been arrested and put in the cell by me. It is impossible to make sufficient preparations for killing people in such a short time. The murderer must silence him as soon as possible, so there is no time for him to find hidden objects, hidden arrows, and so, the most convenient way is only one..."

"Top it in from outside the wall!" Song Yuner interrupted happily.

"It's right!" Yang Qiuchi praised and praised: "The murderer should have thrown the bow and arrow from the high wall.

Song Yuner said happily: "So you searched slowly along the wall just now. I don't know what you are looking for. It turned out that you were looking for traces of bows and arrows thrown in and landing on the ground!"

"Yes, this murderer is the ban on chess in our cell, so he is very clear about the layout of the yamen and the cell. He knows where to throw it in, so he can avoid the duty and guarding the yamen in the cell, so that he will not let others see it. He threw the bow and arrow from outside into the yamen wall, then walked into the yamen to find the bow and arrow, then threw it into the yamen wall, then came in empty-handed to find the bow and arrow, and then killed people."

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the land beside the wall and continued: "Although the cell and cell are bluestone floors, the yard and the walls are mud. Although it is flat, it has just rained, and although it is light rain, it is enough to soften the ground."

He compared the action of throwing things and commented: "The wall of our cell is very high. If the murderer throws a hard bow over such a high wall, it will definitely cause marks. In addition, my eyes are more sensitive to various marks, so I didn't take much effort to find the marks of the hard bow. This further confirms my inference."

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the ground at the corner of the wall behind the prison of the revenge: "That trace is there!"

When everyone looked towards Yang Qiuchi, Yang Qiuchi stared at one of the twelve banned chess. The man looked ugly and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. Yang Qiuchi smiled knowingly when he saw this look.

The man found that Yang Qiuchi was staring at him, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "The murderer threw the hard bow in, not only leaving marks on the ground, but also provided me with a clue to find the murderer."

Song Yun'er opened her eyes wide, looked at the wall, and then looked at Yang Qiuchi, with her eyes clearly asking what clues Yang Qiuchi had found.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yuner and asked with a smile: "The bow and arrow were thrown into the mud outside. The murderer was entering the prison from the gate to the serious prison, picking up the bow and arrow to commit the crime. Since it had just rained lightly, the ground was wet. What would happen if he used this bow and arrow that fell on the wet mud?"

He made an archery move, then raised his left palm and glanced at Song Yuner.

Song Yuner said in surprise: "There will be mud and water on the bow. Holding the bow and arrows in your hands, so mud and mud will be glued on your hands!"

Yang Qiuchi nodded with a smile and his eyes swept towards the banned chess.

Several Jin Yi subconsciously raised their hands and looked at them. One of Jin Yi flipped his palms on both sides and subconsciously wiped his clothes a few times.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Hehe, it's so stupid. If you wipe the soil on your clothes, will there be no soil left on the clothes?"

Jin Yi hurriedly patted the clothes on his side again, and suddenly realized that he would not be able to do anything like this. In horror, he took a step back slightly.

After hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, Song Yuner and others had already followed his eyes to discover the abnormal expression of the ban Yi. However, before Yang Qiuchi said it, they were not sure.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "Actually, you don't have to wipe off the mud on your hands, because I haven't seen your palms just now, so I didn't rely on the mud on your hands to confirm that you are the murderer, but I just used this to test your reaction to confirm your judgment. You can't hold back, and I really can't figure out how to let you be a killer. It's very likely that they didn't have a choice."

Yang Qiuchi stared at the deserted Jin Yi and sneered twice: "Even if you wiped off the soil marks on your palms and clothes, there was still another mark you didn't notice, so you didn't wipe it off - it was that mark that told me that you were a criminal!"

When Song Yuner heard Yang Qiuchi say so magically, she opened her eyes wide and stared at the Jinyi. Apart from his nervous expression, she didn't find anything wrong.

Yang Qiuchi continued to smile and said to Jin Yi: "Butler Su died of an arrow, so you must have aimed." Yang Qiuchi made another move of opening the bow and firing the arrow, and said with a smile: "When you open the bow and pull the arrow and aim the bow string, didn't you notice it? The bow string will stick to your lips and chin, so the soil that fell into the mud and stuck to the bow string will also stick to your lips and chin!"

In horror, the Jin Yi subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe his chin again. After just lifting his hand for half, he realized that this would not work and hurriedly put it down again. However, his movement was too obvious, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Yang Qiuchi smiled with satisfaction: "What's the use of wiping now? Even if you wipe off the soil on your hands, clothes, lips and chin, what should you do if the indentation left by the bowstring on your chin? Your chin is very hard. Since the time you committed the crime is too short, the indentation is not enough to subside, so you can find it as long as you observe carefully."

The ban chess player moved again, as if he wanted to touch his chin. Yang Qiuchi sighed: "I really don't understand, how can you be an excellent killer if you are so uneasy? Let me tell you that the indentation left by this tight bowstring on the chin, such as the thin skin layer, cannot be erased for a while. Using side light, it can be found more easily."

Jin Yi showed a look of despair in his eyes, and he looked at Yang Qiuchi in terror, as if he had seen the call of the god of death.
