Chapter 69

"The truth is very simple," Chi Shi said, reaching out and pulling out his long sword from Zhou Xian's waist.

Zhou Xian subconsciously wanted to beat him over, but when he saw that it was Chi Shi's hand, he barely held it back.

"If this is the stick that is the door-locked. The murderer freezes a lump of ice at one end, making the stick look like an axe. Then put the piece wrapped in ice on the door holder."

"In this way, when he went out, the stick was raised high because the ice raised the stick, and the door was not tied. However, at the bottom of the door, there was a charcoal basin. After the ice melted, the stick slowly fell down and fell into the door."

"In this way, when someone came to find Zhu Sanlang, the door was tied up and the whole room became a secret room. This is why, the carbon black and gray in the charcoal basin was not completely burned, and the fire was extinguished."

Zhou Xian suddenly realized, "The ice melted, and the water flowed down put out the charcoal fire. Some of them flowed on the ground. The pot of tea was placed there just to confuse the public."

Chi Shi nodded.

"The murderer wanted to be a secret room, which caused the illusion of Zhu Sanlang committing suicide. Unfortunately, he was not very proficient in this. He didn't know that there were subtle differences between being stabbed to death and being stabbed to death by himself."

"I didn't expect that if the water in the teapot was sprayed out in large quantities after boiling, the amount of water in the kettle would be reduced. I also expected that the cold weather would make you ice cubes available and the water dripping on the floor would be difficult to dry and conspicuous."

"This is a self-righteous but actually a foolish murderer."

After Chi Shi finished speaking, the people at the scene looked at each other and opened their mouths. For a moment, they felt a little depressed.

Although they understood what happened after listening to this guy's explanation. But who would have thought if he didn't say it? Who was the fool talking about?

Zhou Xian cleared his throat and gave Chi Shi a wink.

Chi Shi let out a "oh" sound and threw the long sword in his hand towards Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian's pupils shrank suddenly and raised his foot to kick him, but he saw the sword whizzing and inserted it back into the scabbard hanging around his waist.

He moved his legs quietly... He always felt cold everywhere, and he almost couldn't do anything to be a eunuch...

"Isn't that the person who sets the fire barn will be the murderer! Who said he helped Zhu Sanlang ask the waiter for a fire barn..." Wei Hong, who was leaning against the pillar, laughed contemptuously when she heard this, and opened her mouth and urged her to the fire.

Everyone looked at Qin Zhi with bright eyes, showing his swollen feet. Before, he said in person that Zhu Sanlang was afraid of the cold and loved to drink tea. He asked for an extra brazier for him and placed it at the door...

"Besides, Qin Zhi has been upstairs all the time. If we come to ask someone to have dinner, it will be a little too early. The ice lump has not melted and the door has not been tied up yet. Wouldn't the murderer's plan be lost?"

"If the murderer keeps staring at him and someone comes forward to stop him, that's different. You're right, Qin Zhi?"

Qin Zhi was shocked and jumped forward a few steps, "Wei Hong, don't be bullshit! If I were the murderer, why do I say that the charcoal basin was what I wanted? I just saw that Zhu San was so pitiful and took care of him. I didn't kill anyone! I can't kill Zhu San!"

After he finished roaring, he suddenly felt a loss of voice, pursed his lips tightly, turned to look at Chi Shi, "No matter what, I didn't kill Zhu San."

Chi Shi's expression still did not change, "Although Miss Wei is a big mouth and is also very annoying, there is one thing that is right. The murderer must control the time when Zhu San was discovered, otherwise the secret room will be in vain."

"But the person who is best at grasping the opportunity is not Qin Zhi, because his house is inside, farther than Zhu San's house, and he may not be able to stop him when someone pushes the door."

Wei Hong frowned and looked at Chi Shi mockingly, "Will you say that Luo Yan is the murderer? Of course, he's better to control the time, because he came up and called Zhu San. Don't you come whenever you want to come?"

"But you are afraid you will be disappointed. Luo Yan wants to be a dog licking Zhu San. He kneels down every day and calls his father and mother, so how can he bear to kill him? I am Luo Yan's wife who has not passed by. There is no difference between pouring dirty water on him and pouring on my own head."

She said, looking at Luo Yan, "We grew up together, I know you don't like me. But this is a family marriage, how can you and me marry? I told you early in the morning that whether you take a concubine or raise an outdoor room, as long as my status as my future son is unshakable, I will follow you."

"But Zhu San? Who are you disgusting?"

Luo Yan was angry and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Chi Shi. "Luo Yan is indeed very suspicious. Everyone who is sitting downstairs can hold him back at any time. But when we decide the case, we pay attention to evidence."

"Although the weather is cold, this door bolt cannot be frozen in a short while. The method of this secret room cannot be thought of temporarily. The murderer must have tried it to ensure that everything is foolproof and implemented just now."

Chi Shi said, heading towards Luo Yan's house on the left, "The most likely thing is that the murderer took the door bolt in his house, freezes the ice cubes first, and then switched the door bolt to Zhu Sanlang's house. He took Zhu Sanlang's back into his house."

"The door bolts of the inn are exactly the same, and there is no mark. Even if they are replaced, no one can see them."

Chi Shi said, pausing, "But, as long as you do, you will leave traces. It's winter now, and the weather is very cold. The inn is simple and there are no charcoal basins. If the murderer wants to know how long the ice will melt and how thick the ice will be placed, the door bolt will not slide away and fall to the ground, but will fall into the door tori and can only try it in his own room."

"Then, there will definitely be traces left by ice water on his door frame. His charcoal basin will also leave traces."

"As long as he tried it once, the charcoal basin would be wet. It was as cold as today, and there was no charcoal basin all at once, just like he was in an ice cellar. The man would have changed it and went downstairs to burn the fire."

"Or, just ask the waiter to change the charcoal basin once, otherwise he would have to shake his legs or be honest to survive the wind and snow day?"

Chi Shi said, and with a bang, he pushed open Luo Yan's door on the left, then walked inside, pushed open Qin Zhi's door, and a group of people followed her, like a bandit who had confiscated the house, walked in and out again.

"Oh, by the way, Liu Yiqing, they all said which room they lived in. You haven't said, where is your room? Or, I'll ask me to go downstairs to catch a little brother to ask, and someone accidentally wet the charcoal basin and asked him to change it."
