In fact, Leng Yi also had another purpose in doing this, which was to understand the Tu gang leader as comprehensively as possible so that he could finally decide whether to kill him.

Through this incident, he knew one thing, that is, in fact, the leader of the Tu Gang had a human side. He hoped that his younger brother would gain fame through the legitimate imperial examination in order to honor his ancestors, instead of achieving his goal through means such as spending money and bribery.

, is worthy of respect.

Of course, this alone does not mean that he is a good person, and that he is not a good person who should not be killed. Because in this world, there are no completely bad people, and there are no completely good people. Bad people will do good things, and good people will also do bad things.

. Tu gang leader has a commendable side in his brother's pursuit of fame, but it does not mean that he has not violated his conscience and morals. And what Leng Yi wants to know most now is whether he has done such a thing, or whether

Tell me how many of these things he has done and whether they have reached the point of death.

He doesn't want to kill innocent people for money.

Returning to Tufu, because the small courtyard was reserved for Leng Yi to stay, Tu Er found another place to live. Leng Yi invited the concierge Liu Po ​​to the living room and asked: "Old man, let me ask you, when the wife came, the second master was there

In the yard?”

Liu Po ​​said: "Not here."

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"You didn't ask me before? You just asked what Madam did after she came. But the second master left before Madam came, and you thought I was verbose. If you want me to ask you anything, I will naturally just say Madam.

There’s nothing to say or ask about what happens after we come here.”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly. That was indeed what Tu Gang Leader told Po Liu at that time. Then he said kindly: "Then tell me what happened when the Second Master went out before Madam came."

"Before Madam came, Xiao Shun and Paw Mian went out first, and then the Second Master also went out, saying he wanted to go out and relax. After a while, Madam came. That's it."

"Second Master, didn't he say where he went?"

"I didn't say anything. I just wanted to relax."

"Do you know where he went?"

"have no idea."

After Leng Yi asked the question, he asked the concierge Liu Po ​​to go back.

After dinner, it was getting dark. The two maids who were sent to serve lit a few lanterns in the corridor, and the yard was dimly lit.

Leng Yi sat on the porch at the entrance of the lobby, looking into the dark lobby in trance.

The lights in the corridor shine on the floor of the lobby, while the areas in the lobby that are not illuminated are dim and blurry. It looks like a yin and yang face, making people feel gloomy.

Yin Jiu and Wei were both on guard outside the courtyard. In the courtyard, except for the two maids, there were only Leng Yi, Cheng Luojie and Zheng Yan.

The maids stood in the corridor waiting, waiting for Leng Yi to undress and go to bed. However, Leng Yi didn't want to go to bed so early, so he told the two maids that he didn't need to serve him and could go back to rest. The two maids agreed and went down the corridor.

, and rested in the servants' room.

Zheng Yan was on guard in the courtyard, while Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie were the only ones in the corridor.

Cheng Luojie moved a stool next to Leng Yi and sat down. She held his arm and leaned on his shoulder. She said, "Brother Yi, what are you thinking about?"

"This case." Leng Yi said, "The case was handled here, but the line was suddenly disconnected. I don't know how to continue investigating."

"Why?"

"The suspects who know the situation at the scene include maid Xiaoping, concierge Liu Po, Ma Lian, Xiao Shun and Tu Wa. And Tu Er. But these people either have alibi or cannot be the murderer. They have all been ruled out. This case

How can it be broken?"

"Then it was done by outsiders sneaking in!" Cheng Luojie said: "When the three of them came in, there were only the maid Xiaoping and the old woman Liu Po ​​in the yard. Both of them were powerless and could not restrain the chicken at all.

There was no way to strangle Madam to death. There was no third person in the yard, and the victim was strangled to death. It could not be suicide, and it could not be an accident. Therefore, the only possibility is that the murderer was an outsider who sneaked in!" At this point, Cheng Cheng

Luo Jie hesitated again and said: "However, what you said makes sense. Judging from the inspections at the scene, there are indeed traces of forgery. Since it is a forgery, it can in turn mean that it was done by an insider, and then pretended

An outsider. - I'm confused as to who did it. - By the way, could it be someone else in the house who did it?"

Leng Yi said: "As long as the crime is not committed by someone who is familiar with the small courtyard, it is an outside thief. Because the distinction between internal and external robberies is based on whether they are familiar with the crime scene. If the thief's murderer is outside the small courtyard of the house,

If someone else did it, he doesn't have to fake it to look like a thief outside the city. If he really wants to fake it, he should fake it like a thief inside the city and clean up all the places where the property has been tampered with. This is only logical."

"Could it be done by someone outside the small courtyard and someone familiar with the storage of property in the small courtyard?"

"This possibility is not impossible, but the possibility is very small, because the leader of the Tu Gang has high hopes for this younger brother. He has set up this small courtyard alone for him to study hard. He even arranges male servants, so it is impossible for others to come in and disturb him.

In addition, except for those close to you, outsiders will not know about the storage of property even if they come in."

"Well!" Cheng Luojie nodded thoughtfully, "Then this case is indeed strange. Judging from the situation at the forgery scene, it is inferred that it was an internal thief who was familiar with the situation at the scene. However, the person familiar with the scene was

There were just a few people, and the two valets were not there, chatting with other valets. This has been proven. When they came back, they came back with the lady's valet Tuwa. Tuwa can prove it. So these two people

There was no time to commit the crime. And the madam often came to this yard. Xiaoping, the maid who followed him, might know the storage situation of the yard's property, but she was unable to strangle the madam to death, and neither did the concierge Liu Po. Anyone who could become a thief could

The possibility of committing a crime has been ruled out, so who strangled the deceased to death?"

Leng Yi sighed and said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that I find that this case is now in a desperate situation and can't find an exit."

Cheng Luojie thought for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Could it be like this? - It turned out to be a gangster, and this gangster was very smart. He probably figured out our reasoning, so he used our ideas to analyze the scene.

It was disguised, so that we could mistakenly deduce that it was not an external thief but an internal thief?"

Leng Yi said: "This thief and murderer is very smart. From the way he led us to the dead end to solve the case, we know that he is not an ordinary person. Therefore, it is not impossible to use this trick to deceive us."

"Then our investigation idea was wrong from the beginning. We should expand the scope of the investigation to the entire inner house, and even to the criminal gangsters who have appeared in Bazhou!"

Leng Yi sighed and said: "When the possible becomes impossible, the remaining impossibilities will become possible."

"What's the meaning?"

"That is to say, after the possibility that we thought that internal thieves would commit crimes no longer existed, it became possible for outside thieves to commit crimes, which was originally thought to be impossible, and the direction of the investigation should be shifted to this aspect. - You said

That’s right.”

Cheng Luojie smiled proudly: "I helped you think of it, how should you thank me?"

"How do you want me to thank you?"

"Of course we want to complete what we have always wanted to accomplish but have been interrupted many times!" After saying that, Cheng Luojie hugged Leng Yi's arm tightly and clung to the towering twin peaks.

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "These days, you have searched my entire residence more than ten times, even digging out mouse holes. You should know that I really don't have what you are looking for, so, Jie'er,

You really don’t need to use your body as a price. Because I really don’t have what you want. I have reminded you of this before, and now, I have to remind you again. I don’t want you to accuse me of taking advantage of others’ danger to possess you.

A liar of the body.”

Cheng Luojie chuckled, held his arm tighter, and said, "There is still one place that has not been searched."

"Where?"

"That suitcase of yours!"

Leng Yi's heart trembled and he said: "Box?"

"Yes, that small black box you asked Yin Jiu to carry," Cheng Luojie said with a smile, "that box is very strong, and the lock is very strange, we can't open it."

Leng Yi was now sure that she was talking about the password box containing the sniper rifle. For the possible mission of assassinating Tu Gang Leader, he brought this box and asked Yin Jiu to carry it on his back. After arriving, he placed it in his bedroom.

Li smiled and said: "The things inside are not what you want, I'm sure."

"If we don't look at it, how do we know it's not the case?"

Leng Yi deliberately said narrowly: "If you really want to see it, no matter what is inside, you won't give me your body."

"How about you take my body first and then open it for me to see? OK? Don't worry, as long as it's not what we're looking for, even if it's a mountain of gold, we won't ask for it."

Leng Yi looked at her, sighed again, and said, "Okay, but after I open it and show it to you, can you leave me?"

"Why do you want us to leave?" Cheng Luojie was stunned.

"Because I don't want to be chased by others."

"Does it have anything to do with us leaving if someone is chasing us?"

"Of course." Leng Yi took her hand and said with sincere words, "I believe that what you are looking for is also what the killers who are chasing me want. It is because you followed me to protect me that you

Tell them that the things are with me, and they will hunt me down. If you leave, it will prove that the things are not with me, and those people will not come after me again, and I will be able to live a peaceful life with my wife.

"

Cheng Luojie smiled apologetically and said: "We are sorry for causing you trouble. However, it is not up to us to decide whether to leave you or not. It is up to the queen to decide. Moreover, if we leave you suddenly, the killer will not immediately

You know, wasn't it our mistake to take advantage of the situation and kill you at that time? I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Leng Yi heard her sincerity, kissed her cheeks sideways, and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me. Whether it is for a purpose or not, I am very grateful."

Cheng Luojie smiled and kissed him back on his lips: "Now, can you open it and show it to us?" (To be continued)
