have?

Qi Ping was shocked: "Where?"

"Come with me." Mr. Xing stepped forward, passed through the door curtain, returned to the small living room, came to a small window in the hall, pushed it open, pointed to the lower window frame and said:

"Look."

Qi Ping concentrated and realized that it was actually a incomplete bloody handprint.

Vaguely, it can be seen that it is the left hand.

"When I arrived last night, the window was closed, but there was a lantern hanging outside the door. I didn't expect the murderer to be so blatant, so I tried to open the window to check and found this."

Xing Baotou said somewhat asking for credit.

Well, after the lesson of old death, he paid special attention to the doors and windows... Qi Ping pondered for a moment and said:

"So, you are saying that the murderer jumped out of the window and left."

"Yes, to be precise, I probably entered through this window when I came in. The footprints in the room were still damaged, but when we checked, we found traces of someone staying in the bottom cabin outside the window."

Xing Baotou’s calm analysis:

"The boat hangs alone in the river. It did not reach the shore before and after the crime. Wang Xian came here on a temporary basis. There is no reason for the murderer to know in advance."

"so?"

"Therefore, I suspect that the murderer came by swimming," Mr. Xing said seriously:

"Perhaps the other party had been following Wang Xian for a long time. He was concerned about the crowd and not until he saw him boarding the boat. Then he sneaked into the river, climbed onto the boat quietly, hid in the cabin, and waited for an opportunity to strike. After committing the murder, he also swam away."

Qi Ping praised: "It's not a shame for the government to arrest you, your reasoning is good."

Xing Ming smiled, like a student being praised by the teacher.

Qi Ping withdrew his gaze and asked as if he was examining:

"What about this fingerprint? Given the murderer's cautious character, such an obvious fingerprint was not wiped off."

Xing Ming was prepared early and said:

"I guess he is afraid of making noise. This is the second floor. If he jumps out of thin air without using any force, even a practicing martial artist will inevitably make noise."

Qi Ping smiled half-heartedly:

"Oh? Really? If I see it right, jumping out from here and then jumping into the water is just a blink of an eye for a martial artist. There is no strong person on this boat. He has already succeeded. Why should he stay behind to hide the movement?

Such a flaw?"

Ah this... Xing Baotou was startled and lowered his head in shame:

"I was negligent. What do you think is..."

"I don't know." Qi Ping shook his head calmly.

Xing Baotou was stunned.

Qi Ping said with a smile:

"I'm not a worm in the murderer's belly, how can I be omniscient and omnipotent.

Maybe time was in a hurry, the murderer made a mistake while busy, maybe the other party deliberately stayed to demonstrate to the court, just like the blood letter, who knows."

There is another possibility, but he didn't say it.

That is to say, this is indeed a "copycat crime". The murderer deliberately left the print of his left hand to frame the first case.

Moreover, Qi Ping noticed that there were no fingerprints on the handprint. He might have been wearing gloves, but they were incomplete and useless.

"Okay, the murder process should be consistent with what you guessed. Who was the first to discover the deceased?" Qi Ping asked instead.

One of the detectives hurriedly said: "It's the oiran here, Miss Miaomiao."

After a pause, he added: "The number one brand of Jinfeng Tower."

"bring."

"yes."

…

The police officer went downstairs, and after a while, he led two people over.

One is a middle-aged woman dressed in a fancy dress, with a philistine smile on her face.

Obviously a "Mama-san" character.

The other is a woman with a graceful figure and a face that is extremely beautiful and graceful. She is wearing a pink gauze skirt and a small coat that is looming. In this era, she is dressed boldly.

At this moment, his expression was sad, frightened, and pitiful, as if he had just cried.

All the police officers who watched this were heartbroken... Qi Ping also secretly praised him and was amazed by the beauty of the other party. However, after being influenced by short videos from later generations, his immunity was extremely strong and he said in a deep voice:

"Are you Chen Miaomiao? The first deceased found last night?"

The oiran lady gave him a sharp shout, her shoulders shook, her tears fell, and she was choked with sobs.

The old bustard next to him smiled and said:

"Sir, please calm down, my girl is timid. She discovered it last night."

I'm not angry yet... Qi said with a straight face:

"I didn't ask you!"

Turning to stare at Miss Miaomiao:

"I only want to ask a few questions about the case. Just tell the truth."

Zhenfu Xiaowei also has a rank in name, so it is not too much to call him an official.

"……yes."

"I ask you, tell me how Wang Xian found you yesterday, how you ended up here, and where you were when the crime occurred."

Chen Miaomiao cried with red eyes:

"Last night, Nujia was having a tea party with all the guests. Unexpectedly, Master Wang suddenly came and offered a lot of money to ask Nujia to accompany him for one night."

Qi Ping questioned: "Why are you looking for him? Has he ever had anything to do with you before?"

Chen Miaomiao said: "Master Wang has come here often, but mostly he just drinks. Like last night, this is the first time."

Got it, it’s retaliatory consumption... Qi Ping nodded and motioned to continue.

"The slave family didn't want to, but Mr. Wang seemed to be in a bad mood and drove away the other guests."

"The slave family had no choice but to accompany him to drink with the maid. After drinking for a while, Mr. Wang became a little drunk and wanted... to sleep here. The slave family went downstairs to take a bath as usual..."

Qi Ping interrupted her: "Downstairs?"

Next to me, Mama Sang explained: "It is troublesome to carry water to the second floor on the boat. Bathing is usually on the first floor."

Qi Ping nodded, indicating to continue.

Chen Miaomiao said: "Who would have thought that when the servants finished washing and went upstairs, they found Mr. Wang dead at the table."

Speaking of this, she cried again.

Qi Ping had a headache from the man's crying, and asked a few more questions, such as who would testify, and learned that there were maids nearby while bathing and going upstairs.

After asking, he waved his hand and ordered him to leave, and then everything became quiet.

"Captain Qi, I have already interrogated everyone on this ship. They are all old men from Jinfeng Tower, so there should be no big problem." Xing Captou reminded.

Qi Ping glanced at him: "Do you come here often?"

Mr.

... Qi Ping was speechless, thought for a moment, and exhaled:

"I just had a doubt. Although Wang Xian didn't have any martial arts, how could he die without even screaming if someone sneaked in? Now I understand that it was probably due to drunkenness."

"Then look..."

Qi Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Pull the body out. It's not a problem if you don't let it go forever."

Several police officers responded and removed the body.

Xing Ming felt a little pity that he had been detained in vain.

The corpse moved away, leaving only the chair. He stepped forward and suddenly sat on it, in the same posture as Wang Xian, and slowly closed his eyes.

Then, try to recreate last night's scene in your mind.

In his consciousness, he transformed into Wang Xian, sitting at the table, drinking tea, waiting for good things to happen later.

"I should be drunk, but not completely drunk, otherwise I won't be able to do what I want...

I'm not tipsy either. I just came out of prison and completely offended a lot of big shots. I have fear and anger in my heart that I need to drink to extinguish...

I am full of charming thoughts, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and my heart is filled with joy..."
