Su Yizhao wiped off the petals of one of the weigela flowers with his handkerchief, pulled them in three places, and finally scraped off the skin of the flower.
"Without careful observation, this blood stain would not be easy to detect!"
Su Yizhao said and handed the handkerchief to Li Tuiguan first. Li Tuiguan quickly took it and took a look, and was shocked.
In fact, Su Yizhao didn't notice it before. He only noticed it because he wanted to observe the objects on the desk.
The expressions of Mrs. Yang and her daughter suddenly changed. They leaned against each other, their eyes extremely complicated.
"The traces under the potted plant were left by watering the flowers over many years, indicating that the potted plant was usually placed here. It also shows that the place where Senior Brother Zhu was killed was not in front of the bookcase, but next to the bookshelf."
Su Yizhao said and looked at the bookshelf aside, and saw a small hidden compartment from the bottom of the bookshelf to close to her chest.
If it were Zhu Tian, the height of the small hidden grid should be less than Zhu Tian's waist and abdomen.
"Senior Brother Zhu is quite tall. If he were standing, it would be difficult to hit him in the back of the head. Most men or women of ordinary stature would have to catch him off guard when he bends down or sits down.
Succeeded."
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "Then why did he bend down?"
Su Yizhao smiled brightly, "Maybe, this is the murderer's motive!"
Everyone's brains were completely turned into mush when Su Yizhao said this.
"Could it be that Li Ping'er killed Zhu Tian for some other reason?"
The mountain chief was also confused. This murder case was really full of twists and turns.
Li Ping'er suddenly turned pale with panic, "I remembered it wrong. I was too panicked at the time and didn't pay attention. Now that you said it, it was indeed the case. I hit him on the back of the head while he was bending over."
"He bent down to open the secret compartment. The things in the secret compartment must be very important, right? The murderer didn't want people to know what was in the secret compartment, so he lied."
Su Yizhao ignored Li Ping'er's excuse and continued.
She just noticed that Li Ping'er didn't even glance at the book table pointed by Li Tuiguan and responded casually. This was not the reaction a murderer should have.
Everyone's eyes turned to the hidden grid again. From a distance, this piece of wood looked like carved wood, but if you look closely, you can find tiny gaps in it.
"Ah Shou, Senior Brother Qu, when you were looking for money, did you ever come across this secret grid?" Su Yizhao asked the two of them.
Qu Liuyun shook his head quickly, "I didn't know he had a hidden compartment here. I also looked for it on the bookshelf and didn't pay attention to that place!"
Ah Shou also shook his head, "No! I don't often come to the young master's apartment, so I don't know for sure. At that time, the box was placed on the young master's bookshelf."
Su Yizhao nodded, "That's it!"
She gently pushed the secret compartment and found that the secret compartment was opened just like that.
Everyone looked forward in surprise and found that the hidden compartment was very small, less than a foot long and only half a foot wide.
"The box can't fit in. This secret compartment can only hold some letters or banknotes. And this secret compartment is actually opened, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open it easily."
"Oh! The thin slit you saw just now is actually not closed. If it was closed, it might be a tight seal!" Li Guan suddenly realized.
"At this moment, the secret compartment is empty, which means that the things have been taken away! According to common sense, the things placed in the secret compartment are very important. It is impossible for Senior Brother Zhu to forget to close it. This can only be the work of the murderer. In a hurry, there was no
It is also possible to close it.”
Su Yizhao then moved the book aside, "It seems that this place has been moved. After removing the book, there is a small mechanism in the secret compartment, and the connection is here."
Everyone looked around and found that after the book was moved, a small groove appeared there. This small groove seemed to be where a key was inserted.
"If I hadn't looked carefully just now, I really wouldn't have noticed the secret compartment here. The murderer thought that the secret compartment was closed, but he didn't expect it to be so dense that there would eventually be a leak!"
Li Tuiguan lamented that the murderer's thoughts were not unreasonable, but he met Su Yizhao.
"At that time, Senior Brother Zhu bent down to pick up something in the hidden compartment, but he didn't want to be attacked from behind. That's when he died."
Su Yizhao made a simple guess, and everyone believed it, so the matter was very clear.
"Yes! He was not on guard against me at the time. I knew that there were banknotes in his secret compartment, so I killed him without warning. In addition to the reason why I killed him because he was ridiculing me, I also wanted to steal his money.
silver."
At this time, Li Ping'er suddenly spoke up, and she continued: "I wanted to take the banknote and fly away. I even packed my luggage and was waiting for my mother to leave together!"
"Then why does your mother still come to work today? Wouldn't it be better to leave overnight yesterday?" Zhang Wei asked with raised eyebrows.
Li Ping'er was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm just afraid that you will doubt..."
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Su Yizhao, "Where is the five hundred taels of silver note now?"
Li Ping'er immediately raised her head and looked at Su Yizhao, her eyes full of pleading, "At...at my house."
Su Yizhao understood what she meant, but he squinted his eyes and shook his head, "You know, I will find out when I go to your house later to check, so why do you need to lie?"
Li Ping'er covered her face and cried, "I killed the person, and I will take my life!"
"It's not worth it!" Su Yizhao shook his head, his eyes full of pity.
Li Tuiguan looked at Li Ping'er and felt that there was a lot of inside information here.
"What is in this hidden compartment? You mean five hundred taels of silver notes? But if it is like this, then there is no need to hide it, and it is not necessary to recruit it from the truth!" Li Tuiguan asked.
"I'm afraid it's not just a banknote, it's also related to the monthly and quarterly exams, right?"
Su Yizhao looked at Li Ping'er and said something shocking, but there was a person hiding nearby, looking at Su Yizhao with blood-red eyes.
"You must know the way to enter Fengtian Academy better than me!"
Su Yizhao noticed someone staring at her in the dark, but did not look there.
"My grades are mediocre and I am at the bottom of every monthly exam. My family is poor, but I still study in an academy."
Su Yizhao rubbed his sleeves with his hands and said suddenly.
Everyone didn't know why or what Su Yizhao meant by what he said, but Mrs. Yang and her daughter were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the crowd.
His eyes were fixed on that person, who suddenly smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "I killed them, don't embarrass them anymore."
He walked towards where Li Tuiguan was, and when he got close, he knelt down with a thud.
"The real murderer is me!" There were tears in his eyes, but his face looked relaxed.
"Junior Brother Su is right, how can you bear it?" He closed his eyes tightly and finally made the right choice this time.
Everyone was shocked, what was going on? They couldn't understand.
Qu Liuyun was shocked and asked, "How could it be you?"
