Tiger omitted to write about Cheng Tao, is it possible?
With Shanjun's not very bright intelligence, it is certainly possible.
However, the piece of paper that Tiger gave to Bai Yu had the names of many neighbors written on it. Why was this Cheng Tao omitted? This must be too much of a coincidence.
The most important thing is that Bai Yu doesn't believe that the middle-aged man with one eye patch in front of him has been to the official's home.
The Linfu County Magistrate reported this case at noon the day before yesterday. This middle-aged man with one eye patch came to the Linfu County Yamen this morning. He arrived in less than two days. He obviously came in a hurry and had no time to go to work.
Home investigation?
Moreover, before the middle-aged man with one eye patch came to Linfu County, he did not know the specific circumstances of this case at all, so it was impossible for him to go to the official's home to investigate without knowing it beforehand.
So it was obvious that this middle-aged man with one eye patch was defrauding him!
Fortunately, Bai Yu had been inspected frequently before, so he was able to adapt to situations on the spot.
Seeing that Bai Yu was silent, the middle-aged man with one eye patch asked casually, "Is there anything you need me to bring to your wife, children, and Cheng Tao?"
Bai Yu looked confused, "Who is Cheng Tao? We didn't have this neighbor before. Did you move here in the past ten years?"
The middle-aged man with one eye patch remained silent. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Maybe I remembered the name wrongly."
Bai Yu knew that he answered correctly and passed the test.
The middle-aged man with one eye patch waved his hand and said, "You should go back first. You will still live in the inn for the time being. You are not allowed to leave Linfu County until the matter is cleared up."
"I'll take my leave first."
Bai Yu slightly bowed his hands to him.
He also bowed his hands to the middle-aged official wearing a scarlet robe and embroidered peacock, and to the beautiful young Taoist nun who had been silent.
At this moment, Zheng Yan'er quickly walked into the secret room, her clear eyes paused on Bai Yu, and she smiled with an unknown meaning.
She walked up to the middle-aged man with one eye patch, gently stood on tiptoes, and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
The middle-aged man with one eye patch was startled, and his eyes fell on Bai Yu strangely, as if he recognized him again.
What kind of smile is this? What kind of look is this?...Bai Yu felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that this young woman in black clothes and robe discovered some flaw?
His mind raced and he thought over all the flaws to make sure there was nothing missing.
Unless the tiger was caught and confessed...otherwise, he really couldn't think of any flaws.
The middle-aged man with one eye patch stared at Bai Yu, "You are very good. I have been in the Demon Slayer Department for many years. I have seen countless people and monsters with my eyes. I didn't expect that I almost got fooled by you today."
Bai Yu's heart sank.
His situation took a turn for the worse. This young woman in black clothes must have discovered some important clues!
Of course, it might be possible to deceive him again...
Bai Yu looked confused and said, "Sir, why do you say that? I don't understand what you mean."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch smiled slightly and said nothing. He tilted his head and gestured to Zheng Yan'er.
"After you left the inn, I sneaked into the room where you lived." Zheng Yan'er smiled playfully, "Do you know what I found?"
Hearing this, Bai Yu felt relieved.
He was very sure and sure that nothing was left in the house.
In fact, he was covered in official belongings all over his body, so even if he left something behind, it would be impossible to reveal his identity.
"What did the girl find?"
Bai Yu asked this deliberately.
Respond to her.
Be her "admirer".
See how she performs!
Haha, little girl.
If you don't stay in the boudoir while getting married, why are you running around?
"I found the tiger demon's footprints on the window sill of the house where you live."
Zheng Yan'er looked at Bai Yu with a show-stopping look, "The evidence is solid, how can you still quibble."
Tiger's footprints? Bai Yu's heart was cold and his whole body was cold. This flaw was too fatal.
Why does the stupid tiger have legs?
Why?
If the tiger has no feet, then there are no footprints!
He really wanted to chop off the tiger's feet with a knife!
You know, the tiger demon has become the most critical point in the case, but the tiger demon's footprints were found on the window sill of his house. How could he explain this?
"Come here and torture me."
The right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was wearing a scarlet robe and embroidered with peacocks, had a cold look on his face. He was an inspector from the ninth rank, and he was an official. When there were no doubts and no evidence, it was not easy to use torture at will. But now that the evidence was conclusive, torture could be used.
Bai Yu's expression changed, "Wait a minute."
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice said coldly, "What other explanation do you have?"
These people are really good at investigating crimes, but Bai Yu has received nine years of compulsory education, so he is not a father-in-law.
He looked at the young woman in black clothes and robe, "I would like to ask you, girl, what is the shape of the tiger demon's footprints you saw? How big are they?"
Not understanding why he asked, Zheng Yaner raised her jade hand and put the tips of her thumb, index and middle fingers together to form the shape of a plum blossom, "That's it. As we all know, tiger monsters can be big or small."
Bai Yu said seriously, "Listen to the official singing a nursery rhyme."
He began to sing softly.
"It's snowing, it's snowing."
"A group of little painters came from the snow."
"The chicken draws bamboo leaves, and the puppy draws plum blossoms."
"The little duck draws maple leaves, and the pony draws the crescent moon.
"Why didn't Frog participate?"
"It fell asleep in the hole."
After singing the song, you can hear a needle drop in the secret room.
The nine-year compulsory education is so beautiful. Bai Yu felt a little proud. He said it was a children's song, but in fact it was a first-grade elementary school text.
Zheng Yan'er frowned, "You mean there are kitten footprints on the window sill of the house you live in?"
Bai Yu nodded and said, "The girl is really smart and smart. The footprints of puppies and kittens are similar, both in the shape of plum blossoms. There are many cats in the inn, and they are always running around. There are cat footprints in the entire inn.
, there are cat footprints on the window sill of Xiaguan’s house, it doesn’t prove anything.”
Zheng Yaner's face froze, she was so smart? Why did these words sound so harsh?
The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was ridiculed by Zheng Yan'er before, but now, he refused to let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately said, "I thought the Demon Slayer Division was so powerful, but it turned out that it was nothing more than that. Even the tiger demon and the cat
I can’t even distinguish the footprints.”
Zheng Yan'er's face turned red.
Seeing that his daughter could not get off the stage, the middle-aged man with one eye patch said calmly, "Are the cat's footprints or the tiger monster's footprints? I only need to use my delusion-breaking eyes to see clearly."
With a "boom", Bai Yu felt like five thunders were hitting his head, and he went blank for an instant.
Eyes that destroy delusion?
Can you tell the difference between a tiger demon and a cat by looking at their footprints?
Damn it, this kind of magical power is beyond the pale!
Why didn't your eyes go blind earlier?
Your eyes are so good, do your parents know?
He thought he had walked out of the tricky gate, but he didn't expect to be sent to the guillotine again.
The snow and flowers are fluttering, and the north wind is blowing.
