When Ma Haolu saw this, he immediately winked at Zhang Xiaowu. Zhang Xiaowu said: "As the saying goes, heroes are short-lived." However, no one seemed to hear this homophone. Ma Haolu murmured in a low voice: "Fortunately, Xu Shaoqing didn't
Marry a young lady, otherwise wouldn’t this make you a widow?”
"Pfft..." Finally, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing. Leader Teng was so angry that he glanced around with his eyes wide open, and everyone suppressed their laughter.
Zhang Xiaowu glared at Ma Haolu and said, "Okay, don't be poor. You can continue to check the body with me to see if there are any other external injuries." Ma Haolu sighed and reluctantly checked the body with him.
But there were no other marks on the body, as if there was no other cause of injury.
Zhang Xiaowu touched Xu Shaoqing's whole body with his hand. He may have examined it too carefully. As a result, Ma Haolu looked at him more and more strangely, and the distance between him and him became further and further away. Zhang Xiaowu found out that
There were no traces of injuries from hidden weapons on Ma Haolu's body, and even his spine was not injured, which was even more strange. He turned Xu Shaoqing over and carefully inspected the back. Suddenly something occurred to him and he said to Ma Haolu: "Put it away."
His legs were split."
Ma Haolu was startled and almost sat on the ground, crying: "Brother Zhang, I... I can't do this. I have never spread my legs to a man..."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You have to do it even if you can't do it. This is an order."
Ma Haolu sighed and had to break Xu Shaoqing's legs apart. However, Xu Shaoqing's body was very stiff and Ma Haolu couldn't break his legs apart. Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said, "The death rate is about six to eight."
Hours ago, that is, at midnight yesterday, not yesterday afternoon. The person we saw yesterday evening, although there were several people entering and leaving the toilet one after another, was not the person they killed."
Ma Haolu nodded blankly and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means that yesterday, when Xu Shaoqing went to the toilet in the middle of the night, someone accompanied him to the toilet, and then took the opportunity to kill him." Zhang Xiaowu said, he raised his head and looked at everyone and said: "So, the person who accompanied him to the toilet was the one who killed him.
people."
Ma Haolu asked: "Why can't someone lie in wait in the toilet first?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "How could Xu Shaoqing, who is so alert and mysophobic, not be able to detect the person who is ambushing him? Moreover, the toilet is so small. Unless the person transforms into a mouse or fly, how could he not be able to detect the person?"
Ma Haolu said: "So only the three of them have the chance to kill Xu Shaoqing?"
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said to Master Teng: "Master Teng, your suspicion is correct. The murderer is among the three. The others can rule out their suspicion."
Head Teng smiled and said: "The three of them also said that the four of them chatted for a while and drank some wine in the middle of the night yesterday."
"And he drank." Ma Haolu curled his lips and said.
"..." Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a long time, staring at Master Teng, and said angrily: "Then you still doubt everyone? You also asked us. It turns out that you already knew that the murderer was among the three people. It turns out that you suspected
These three people are not because other people have been excluded, but because you know that the four of them were together last night. My inspection and inference just now are that you are testing us? You are judging whether we are qualified to help you investigate the case.
,Yes or no?"
Head Teng smiled and nodded, then bowed his hands and said: "Zhang Shaoxia's inference is very wonderful and very correct. When Zou Yuanpin recommended you to me, I doubted your ability, but now I don't doubt it at all. But this test is also out of necessity.
After all, I cannot let a confused person help us investigate the case. I want to say sorry for this temptation, I am really sorry, and I will definitely make double my apology in the future."
Only then did Ma Haolu react. He jumped up in anger and pointed at Head Teng. He felt that it was not good to point his finger at him. He stopped his hand and said angrily: "You have gone too far. You can doubt me. You can doubt me."
No one can doubt Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang - he has the world in his heart and has lofty aspirations, how can he be doubtful?"
Head Teng said helplessly: "If it were you, I would be more careful."
Ma Haolu still wanted to argue, but Zhang Xiaowu had no intention of arguing here. He needed to buy time to solve the case and left the Tengshan Sect this morning. Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand to stop Ma Haolu. Seeing that the room was getting darker and darker, he ordered people
Holding the light, he will investigate the case all night long.
Head Teng asked people to do so. Seeing that the lights were insufficient, Zhang Xiaowu asked them to light a few more lamps, and then continued to examine the body. When he proposed to dissect Xu Shaoqing's body, Teng Da quickly stopped him and said: "If it is disemboweled, just disembowel it.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain it to the Qingyun Sect.”
Zhang Xiaowu was not very willing to dissect the corpse, so he stopped and continued to stare at the corpse for a long time. While everyone was anxious, Zhang Xiaowu untied Xu Shaoqing's crown, touched his hair for a long time, and finally found the wound.
.
A silver needle was inserted straight into the back of Xu Shaoqing's head. It was this silver needle that killed Xu Shaoqing.
The cause of Xu Shaoqing's death was finally found.
Zhang Xiaowu gently pulled out the silver needle and said to Head Teng: "This person probably took advantage of Xu Shaoqing's unpreparedness and quietly inserted the silver needle into the back of Xu Shaoqing's head."
Master Teng took the silver needle and said in shock: "Silver needles kill people? Can needles made of silver also penetrate human bones?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The so-called silver needle is just a term. Generally speaking, this kind of needle is made of fine iron. It is called silver needle because of its silver appearance. It is not made of silver."
Master Teng slapped his thigh and said: "The murderer is Zou Yejin of Tianxuan Sect! This silver needle is the hidden weapon of Tianxuan Sect."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Not necessarily. Will the disciples of Tianxuan Sect use their own hidden weapons to kill people?"
Head Teng said: "It's really..."
Zhang Xiaowu took the silver needle, pointed it at Xu Shaoqing's head, and thrust it hard. As a result, the silver needle pierced the scalp and penetrated to the other side of the skull. He shook his head and asked: "Master Teng, come and try it.
Can I use a silver needle to kill with one blow?" Master Teng tried it and found that the silver needle was only inserted halfway and could not be inserted completely. Zhang Xiaowu suddenly thought of a question. The silver needle must be nailed into the skull, otherwise it cannot be done with bare hands.
The entire length is inserted into the skull.
He then took a few people to the toilet, and after searching for a long time in the toilet, he finally found a loose stone and a recess on the back of the stone. Zhang Xiaowu asked if the stone came from the toilet, and the old man in charge of cleaning the toilet was busy.
He said that this stone must not be from Tengshan, because the stones in Tengshan are all bluestones, and this stone is pebbles. Zhang Xiaowu looked at the size of the stone and compared it with his own hand. His palm was suitable for holding it.
"The murderer's hands are not small." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile, "At least they are about the same size as my hands, or even bigger than my hands."
