After Xiaoyuer got up this morning, she felt much better. He didn't expect that a small cold would almost cost him his life. Fortunately, the old Chinese doctors in this era were quite skillful.

When Qiao'er saw Xiaoyuer wake up, she said in a hurry: "Young Master is awake?" She was holding a bowl of hot eight-treasure porridge. She held the bowl with her left hand and plucked it with her right hand, put it on her mouth and blew it gently, and put it into Xiaoyuer's mouth.

Xiaoyuer looked at Qiaoer with affectionate feelings, moved, and felt warm in her heart. She chewed the eight-treasure porridge and smiled and said, "It's delicious."

Qiao'er saw that Xiaoyuer liked her and smiled, and said happily: "If you like to eat, eat more, open your mouth, ah~~~" He stretched out the spoon as if feeding the child.

Xiaoyuer smiled and cooperated with opening her mouth, spitting out the eight-treasure porridge in the spoon and said, "You can eat something too."

Qiaoer shook her head and said, "I have eaten it." Soon the small bowl of eight-treasure porridge was eaten by Xiaoyuer.

"Wow"

Suddenly I heard a noisy sound downstairs and asked in surprise: "Why are you so noisy?"

Qiaoer packed the table and said, "Oh, I heard that there was a murder."

"Murder case?" Xiao Yuer was surprised.

Qiaoer said, "Yes." Xiaoyuer got up and prepared to put on her clothes to go to the scene to see. Qiaoer quickly grabbed her and said, "Where are you going to go by, your illness is not cured yet?"

Xiao Yuer said: "After such a big murder case, I naturally have to go and see it."

Qiaoer said: "Miss Xiaoling has already gone to see her. You have to press your heart to recuperate."

When Xiaoyuer heard this, she hurriedly put on her boots and said, "I should have gone to the scene, so as not to offend the local officials. You don't know that none of these officials are good things, but Xiaoling's big breasts and brainless stupid look was sold, and she doesn't know."

Qiaoer laughed and laughed. But a sour feeling appeared in her heart. Unexpectedly, her husband still thought of Sister Xiaoling.

...

Zhao Qingxia and Mr. Li had a bit of contemptuous look and kept looking at Ma Xiaoling's movements. She hugged her hands with her chest and said, "It's mysterious." She thought that the case had been solved by her, that was the name of Bihe's woman on the wall, and she was the murderer. Even if it was not, it had a lot to do with her.

And where did Ma Xiaoling learn from Xiaoyuer think that the woman is not the murderer.

Zhao Qingxia ordered the county magistrate and said, "Sir, this case has been resolved. Why are you still doing here? Should you arrest the woman named Bihe?"

"This?" the county magistrate hesitated.

At this time, Ma Xiaoling said: "Sir, if you can report the investigation at any time, I am willing to do my best to help. Now I will talk to the witness who found the body. Can you tell me his name and address?

Constable Liu said, "He is Old Man Li. He is a fighter. You can go to Mongkok Alley in Zhenbei City to find him." Ma Xiaoling wrote it down and came out of the murder scene. She was ready to find a fighter.

Mr. Li's eyes rolled and pulled Zhao Qingxia and said, "Brother Zhao, let's go too."

Zhao Qingxia asked in a slight question: "We'll go too?"

"Yes, based on my father's trial, the first person to find the body is likely to be the murderer."

"Is that true?" Zhao Qingxia asked in a vain.

Mr. Li acted as a dog-headed military advisor and said, "No matter whether it is, we have to follow Ma Xiaoling. See what she wants to do?" So the two of them called the carriage and followed.

The county magistrate and Constable Liu who were staying at the scene looked confused and said inexplicably: Is this what to do?

...

After Xiao Yuer arrived at the crime scene, she did not go in, but observed outside the house. Looking at the crowd joining in the fun, she frowned, hey, the troublemakers always messed up the scene.

Qiaoer asked, "My husband, are we going in?"

Xiaoyuer said, "Look first." He observed the house outside. From the outside, it looked like a haunted house. There are four houses in a row, a little far from the street, two houses lived in, and two were empty, and the number was an empty place. There were three rows of windows on the street facing the empty house, because no one lived in, and the scenery was extremely desolate. There were posts for "selling" everywhere on the dusty windows. There were a small garden with grass and wood in front of each house. Separated these houses from the street. There was a yellow path made of clay and stones in the small garden. It rained heavily overnight and was muddy everywhere. The garden was surrounded by low walls, about three feet high, and a wooden fence was installed on the top of the wall. A tall cadre stood against the wall. There were a few idle people around, looking in, hoping to take a look at the scene in the house, but they could see nothing.

The little fish walked around the road, staring blankly at the ground, and then at the sky, the house opposite and the wooden fence on the wall. After he looked at this carefully, he slowly walked up the path, or, it should be said, he walked over the grass on the roadside, observing the ground of the path intently. He stopped twice, smiled, and heard him cheering with satisfaction.

There were many footprints on this wet and muddy clay ground; but because the cavalry came and went, I really didn't understand how to recognize anything from it. However, all this could not escape the keen observation of Xiaoyuer, who saw what many people could not see.

He came to the door and was stopped by the constable and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiaoyuer bowed and said, "Little Yuer in Xiaduanzhou Prefecture."

"Huh? Why is another little fish coming?" The detective was surprised.

Xiaoyuer felt strange when she heard the sound. Could it be that someone pretended to be him here? A touch of his waist card was indeed gone. So she asked, "I wonder, did a young man come here with an iron card before, and he is so tall?" She gestured.

The detective nodded and said, "Yes, but there are two more?"

Xiaoyuer felt puzzled, why were there two more people? Qiaoer heard the sound and attached it to Xiaoyuer's ear and muttered for a while. Xiaoyuer nodded and expressed her understanding.

At this moment, the county magistrate came out from inside and was about to go back home. When he saw Xiao Yuer and Qiaoer, he asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuer bowed and said, "Oh, sir, don't ask me what my name is. I am very familiar with the case. I hope sir can give you a chance to show it?"

"What?" The county magistrate didn't believe this young man. He didn't know Xiao Yu'er yet. He said sternly: "Little brat, stay wherever you are cool."

When Captain Liu heard the sound, he muttered in the county magistrate's ear: "Sir, today is very evil. Mr. Wang, he is King Jinling again. I think this boy's eyebrows reveal a heroic spirit, either a hero in the martial arts world or a rich man. If you offend someone, you can't be able to take on a small role like us?"

The county magistrate asked, "What should we do?"

Captain Liu said, "If he wants to check, let him check. Let us follow us. Once he does anything, maybe there will be unexpected gains?"

When the county magistrate heard the sound, he nodded and said, "Yeah, okay. Don't say that I won't give you a chance."

Xiao Yuer received the approval from the county magistrate and entered the house and asked, "The scene of the case remains the same?"

"Yes." Constable Liu said.

"But that's the exception!" Xiaoyuer stopped and pointed to the path and said, "Even if a group of buffaloes pass by here, it won't be worse than this."

"But what does this have to do with the case?"

Xiao Yuer said: "The deceased is in the house. Someone must have come. If he has come, he will leave footprints. Could it be that he still has wings flying in?" Captain Liu couldn't speak when he heard the sound.

Xiao Yuer asked again: "Didn't you come in a carriage?"

Captain Liu was surprised when he heard the sound because Ma Xiaoling had asked about this before.

Xiao Yuer noticed his expression and asked, "Has anyone asked this question before?"

"Yes." Captain Liu replied honestly: "It was someone who claimed to be Xiaoyuer before that asked."

"How did you answer?"

When Captain Liu heard the news, he shook his head and said, "No."

"Sir, don't you?"

"No, either. Oh, the two people from Jinling Mansion came here in carriages before."

"Then, let's go to the room to have a look." After Xiao Yuer asked these incoherent words, he stepped into the room. Captain Liu followed behind, with a look of surprise on his face.

There is a short aisle leading to the kitchen. There is no flat carpet on the aisle and it is covered with dust. There is a door on the left and right of the aisle. One of them has clearly not been opened for many weeks. The other is the door of the restaurant, and the tragedy happened in this restaurant. Xiao Yuer walked in. Qiaoer followed him and felt extremely heavy. This was caused by the dead body.

This is a large square house, which is particularly wide because it has no furniture. The walls are covered with cheap flower paper, and some places have spots of mold, and some places have large flat ground peeling off, revealing the yellow pink wall inside. There is a red candle head on the candlestick. There is only one window in the house. It is extremely dirty, so the light in the room is very dim and a layer of dull colors is covered everywhere. The dust in the house makes this mood even deeper.

After Xiaoyuer entered, she went straight to the corpse. The body was lying on the floor, and her dull eyes stared at the faded beams. The deceased was about forty-three and four years old, with medium figure, broad shoulders, black curly hair, and a short and hard beard, wearing a thick robe and light-colored pants. There was a neat hat on the floor beside her. The deceased clenched his fists, stretched his arms, and overlapped his legs. It seemed

When he was dying, he had a painful struggle. His stiff face showed a terrifying expression, which was a resentful expression. His fierce face, coupled with the strange grinning, was very terrifying. Coupled with his low forehead, flat nose and protruding chin, it looked like a strange-looking flat-nose monkey. In addition, the extremely unnatural painful and tumbling posture made its appearance more terrifying.

The little fish walked to the corpse, knelt down and checked with all his attention. No scars were found, but found blood stains around him. He paused for a moment, then continued to check, touched the sensitive fingers here and pressed there, and unbuttoned the dead man's clothes and checked it again; the confused expression I talked about before appeared in his eyes. He checked very quickly, and it was unexpectedly meticulous and serious. Finally, he sniffed the lips of the deceased and glanced at the soles of the boots that the deceased had lifted his boots.

He asked, "Have the body not moved?"

“No more than conducting our necessary inspections.”

"He can be sent to bury now," he said, "there is nothing to be checked."

Captain Liu had already prepared a pair of stretchers and four people carrying stretchers. As soon as he called them, they walked in and carried the deceased out.

Xiaoyuer asked, "Where are the things you found from the dead?"

"Everything is here," said Captain Liu, pointing to a small pile of things on the table, "a heavy and sturdy gold chain. A gold ring engraved with the emblem of Chen Ji. A golden needle with a tiger-headed dog's head on it. The dog's eyes are two rubies. The official ultimatum contains "Yin Mingqiang, Guangzhou City people, etc.". There are no purse, only some change, a total of 7 taels of 23 cents. There are two letters - one is sent to Liu Chuan and the other is for Chen Da."

“Where did you send it to?”

"The two letters were sent from the inn, and the content was to inform them to start construction. It can be seen that this unlucky guy was about to go back to Guangzhou."

"Have you ever investigated Chen Da?"

"Of course. I investigated immediately." Captain Liu said.

"Have you contacted him?"

"This is very difficult, after all, it is still a distance from Guangzhou." The county magistrate replied.

Headmaster Liu said, "Oh, when we checked the dead before, a woman wait ring was sent out from him." Then he searched the pile of evidence, a thin ring. The little fish nodded without saying anything. He continued to observe the surrounding environment and found the blood word "Bihe" on the wall. He frowned and continued to investigate. He walked around the house silently, sometimes standing, sometimes kneeling, and once lying on the ground. She worked with all her heart, as if she had forgotten them all; he kept muttering to himself. He exclaimed, sometimes sighed, sometimes whistled, sometimes shouted in a low voice as if full of hope, and was inspired.

He checked the incense stick for a while and carefully measured the distance between some traces with his hands; these traces could not be seen by others. Occasionally, he also measured the wall with a tape measure incredibly. Later, he carefully picked up a small pinch of gray dust from somewhere on the floor and placed it in an envelope. Then, he checked the blood words on the wall and observed each word very carefully. Finally, he seemed satisfied and smiled and said, "Where have those people gone?"

Captain Liu replied: "They went to find the man who beat the enemy, he was in Mongkok Alley, North City."

Xiao Yuer nodded and said, "Qiao'er, let's go and find him. I'll tell you something that will be helpful to this case." He turned around and continued to say to the county magistrate and Captain Liu. "This is a murder case. The murderer is a man, he is more than eight feet tall and middle-aged. According to his figure, his feet are a little smaller. He is wearing a pair of thick square-toed shoes and smoking. He came in a four-wheeled carriage with the victim. The carriage was pulled by a horse. The three hooves on the horse were old, and the hooves on the right front hooves were new. The murderer may have a red face and his fingernails on his right hand were long. These are just a few signs, but these may be of some help to you both."

"Ah?!" Xiao Yuer's inference surprised everyone present. He actually obtained so much information in that incense stick just now.

The county magistrate asked, "How does this mean?"

"My words are absolutely correct," he replied, "As soon as I got there, I first saw two traces of carriage wheels beside the road stone. Since it was raining last night, these days were sunny, the carriage that left a deep wheel trace must have been there at night. In addition, there were also marks of horse hoofs. One of them was much clearer than the other three, which means that the hoof was newly replaced. Since the carriage came there after it rained, and according to what you said, there was only one carriage passing through the whole morning, I also found that the carriage stopped a few dozen feet from the house. From this, it can be seen that the carriage passing by must have been there at night last night; therefore, it was this carriage that sent the two people to the empty room."

"It seems very simple," said Captain Liu, "but how do you know the height of one of them?"

"Well, a person's height is probably about 800% from the length of his pace. Although the calculation method is very simple, it is useless to teach you step by step. I measured the distance between the person's pace on the clay outside the house and the dust inside the house. Then I discovered a way to verify whether my calculation result is correct. When people write on the wall, they will naturally write it in the line of sight. Now the handwriting on the wall is exactly six feet away from the ground. It is as simple as a play."

"What about his age?" I asked again.

"Okay, if a person could step four and a half feet effortlessly, he would never be an old man. There was a puddle like that wide in the corridor in the small garden. He clearly took one step, but he walked around his shoes, and the square-toed shoes walked over from above. There was no mysterious place at all. Do you have any doubts about it?"

"Where are the fingernails and cigarettes?" Captain Liu reminded him again.

"The words on the wall were written by a man dipped his index finger in blood. I looked carefully and saw that some wall powder was scraped off when writing. If this man had his nails been trimmed, it would never be like this. I also collected some scattered ash from the floor."

"Where is the question of blushing face?" the county magistrate also became interested and asked again.

"Ah, that was my bold speculation, but I am sure I am right. In the current situation of this case, don't ask me this question for now."
