Ding Captou saw Shangguan Ruoli's serious expression, so he said nothing more and ordered people to find candles.

Shangguan Ruoli said to Ansan again: "Find a wooden board and tie a rope on it. After a while, put the candle on the board and tie it with the well rope to light it."

After a while, things were ready.

Shangguan Ruoli dropped wax oil on the wooden board for the candle and slowly lowered it down the well with a wheel.

Everyone looked into the well. As the candle descended deeper and deeper, the light of the candle became weaker and weaker. They couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the well. They could only see the flickering flame of the candle.

Just when the candle was approaching the bottom of the well, suddenly Shangguan Ruoli shouted: "Stop!"

The detective who was shaking the wheel immediately stopped, and the candle stopped in that position.

Shangguan Ruoli asked Ding Baotou: "What did you see?"

Ding Captou looked confused, "The candle... and the reflection of the candle in the well water."

An San didn't know what was going on, but he knew it wouldn't be that simple, so he asked: "Master, did you discover something?"

Shangguan Ruoli said firmly: "Where the candle stopped, there is a secret passage on the wall of the well."

Mr. Ding's head was about to be plunged into the well, but he still couldn't see anything. "It's straight up and down. It's so dark. Why can't I see the secret passage?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Then did you see the flame of the candle tilting to one side? This is due to air flow. Wherever the flame tilts, there is a secret passage there. Let someone go down and have a look."

Everyone was hesitant, but Capt. Ding asked a thinner man to tie a rope around his waist and put him down.

After a while, the policeman shouted: "Boss, there are traces of being rubbed on the moss on the wall of the well!"

Ding Baotou was shocked and urged the person controlling the wheel: "Let go! Let go quickly!"

When they were almost at the bottom of the well, the catcher shouted excitedly: "Boss, there really is a secret passage, and only one person can climb in!"

Everyone smiled, the case finally made progress!

Ding Captou was a little sarcastic, "Master Wu's body was thrown through the gate. When we checked the well, we only looked at it from above and no one went down to see it."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Wrong, the way that the eldest son Wu threw his body was not through the gate. Instead, the second son Wu might have thrown it in through the gate. After all, the guards guarding the gate had to eat, drink and defecate. Also, I just discovered that a

The small door for servants to enter and exit is still locked, and no one is guarding it."

If there is a lock, there is a key. Even if there is no key, many people will open the lock.

Ding Captou was stunned for a moment and said: "How could it be possible? When Mr. Wu died, the wine shop was still operating normally. It was inconvenient during the day, but there is always a chance at night, right?"

At first, I thought that Mr. Wu was killed in the wine shop, but later I found out that the wine shop was not the scene of the first crime, so I thought that Mr. Wu was murdered by the murderer and transported in at night from other places.

After all, the winery was not sealed at that time, and the door control was not so strict. If there were many people, there would be negligence, and the corpses could be transported in.

When the murder of Mr. Wu occurred, the wine shop had been sealed, so he focused his investigation on the path where the body was dumped.

Shangguan Ruoli said: "It is precisely because when something happened to the eldest son, there were so many people in the wine shop that the murderer could not have entered through the door. If the murderer was a stranger, no matter how lax the concierge was, he would be targeting acquaintances, and he would also be on guard against strangers.

of.

If he was an acquaintance, wouldn't he bump into someone he knew? He was transporting things the night before and found the eldest son's body the next day, which would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion.

Therefore, no matter whether the murderer is a stranger or an acquaintance, he will not choose to transport the body of the eldest son into the wine shop through the gate."

Capt. Ding frowned: "But that's not right. The eldest son was ground into a pulp. If the murderer had processed the body into a pulp outside, he would have transported only a vat of pulp. Go through the gate.

, just push a cart, but the mouth of this well is so small, so how can the murderer drag a large vat or other container that does not reveal blood out of this well? "

An San said: "The murderer can break the body into pieces outside, then bring the body in and crush it."

Captain Ding still had doubts: "The noise was too loud, so he wasn't afraid of disturbing people."

His detective reminded: "Boss, the manager of the wine shop made his grandson happy that night and invited the workers to drink. It was really possible that he made a lot of noise."

Ding Captou was convinced and said, "Let's go down to the well and take a look."

He asked the policeman to enter the secret passage and followed him down with a torch.

Shangguan Ruoli signaled to the secret guards in the dark to be on standby, and followed him down with An San.

The entrance of the secret passage can only accommodate one person, but once inside, it becomes wider and one can walk with a slight stoop.

Captain Ding said: "I smell the smell of blood and fried meat. The bodies of the eldest son and the second son should have been brought in from here."

An San smelled the earthy smell and touched the cave wall, "It only took a year to dig this secret tunnel."

Shangguan Ruoli pointed to the ruts on the ground and said, "They also used a wheelbarrow."

Ding Captou said to himself: "I originally doubted Grandma Wu, but she obviously can't do the physical work of moving corpses from secret passages and wells. Now it seems that she has some accomplices

, or the murderer is someone else."

Shangguan Ruoli also thought so, "So, you sent someone to keep an eye on her?"

Captain Ding nodded, "We are all watching the suspects."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Everything is just speculation now. Conclusive evidence has not appeared yet. Maybe it is at the end of this secret passage."

When everyone heard this, they became more energetic and their pace sped up a lot.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw a little light.

At the exit, everyone saw a cart with a clay jar and a tin bucket on it.

There were residual blood stains in the earthen jars and iron buckets, as well as oil and minced meat after cooking and frying.

Captain Ding deduced: "I think the murderer first put the body parts into the earthen jar, and then used the bucket to transport it up from the well several times."

An San walked to the exit and looked outside, "This is also a well."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "In order not to alarm the people above, you go up and take a look first."

None of Ding Baotou and the others had done anything. After all, they had seen the Qing Kung of Dark Three before.

An San got out of the hole and climbed up the well wall effortlessly without a well rope.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the news about Dark Three, and the atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Soon, An San said from above: "Master, there is no one in the yard, and the crime scene was discovered!"

Ding Baotou said excitedly: "Put down the well rope!"

An San lowered the well rope, and Shangguan Ruoli went up first.

Ding Baotou looked at Shangguan Ruoli's skills and sighed secretly. This lady's skills are not low!
Chapter completed!
