Chapter 29 Your name is Yangguan Dao, my name is Duoqiao Heyi)
Ning Yuanwai was scolded by the prefect Wang and immediately calmed down.
Magistrate Wang looked at Wen Xiaoyun again and asked patiently: "Since Butler Cheng is guilty, it proves that the money is still hidden here, but why hasn't it been dug out?"
Wen Xiaojun turned around and looked back at the old elm tree, and said thoughtfully, "The trick is usually to make a small trap in the original position to bluff people. Unexpectedly, Butler Cheng's method is quite clever. He breaks the rules and traps people.
The design is more complex.”
Yin Nuo curled his lips and smiled, picked up the sword at his waist, walked up to Butler Cheng in a grand manner, and put his foot on Butler Cheng's back, "It seems that geniuses sometimes don't work. Otherwise, I will teach you a way, and the prisoners will
Now that we have taken it down, what’s left is still difficult to deal with? I’ll give you some punishment and some beatings, don’t worry if he doesn’t say anything.”
Wen Xiaoyun knew that this was Yin Nuo's deliberate attempt to ridicule her, "The prison infers that if everyone is like Yin catching the head, it will not be far away from being beaten into submission."
Magistrate Wang smiled and said, "It seems Wen Xingfang has found a solution."
Wen Xiaojun pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the old elm tree, stretched out her hand to touch the rough trunk, "Since it is the truth, there will always be traces to follow, and those clues are hidden in the details of what happened last night."
Wen Xiaoyun suddenly thought of something and turned around quickly to look at Mao Er, "Brother Er Er, thank you for asking all the brothers from yesterday to return to their original positions. This time, I will play Butler Cheng and recreate the scene of last night's conspiracy!"
"Okay!" Mao Er raised his hand excitedly, beckoning a few catchers to leave quickly and return to the bushes at the foot of the slope.
"Ning Yuan, ask someone to find another bag and put it with stones as heavy as a thousand taels of silver."
"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to pretend!" Ning Yuanwai also became excited.
After a while, the bag of stones was packed, and the police officers from last night returned to their surveillance positions.
"Your Majesty, Magistrate Ning, please spread out and stand apart." Wen Xiaoyun, who was carrying a bag of stones, ordered while wiping his sweat.
"Should we also hide under the slope?" Ning Yuanwai swallowed nervously.
Wen Xiaoyun waved her hand, "No, if you were under the slope like last night, you probably wouldn't be able to find the flaw in this trick.
Wen Xiaoyun noticed from the corner of his eye that Butler Cheng's pupils shrank obviously, and then he stopped resisting and lay on the ground helplessly.
"Master Host, you are so smart. You can solve the case by using your micro-expression reactions and experience in magic revelation. Yunnan No. 10 gives you one hundred and twenty likes here. Master, you are awesome!"
"No, if you want to get involved in the comics industry these days, you need comprehensive strength!"
After dismissing the cheating system in her brain waves, Wen Xiaoyun picked up the bag of stones and started walking around the old elm tree.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Go three steps east of the old elm tree and dig a hole, fill it with money, bury it with some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five..."
Everyone present:···
What the hell?!
Is this torture chamber really serious about solving crimes?
However, Wen Xiaoyun was not affected by the outside world at all. She was completely immersed in her own world. She squatted in front of the pit, threw the money in, stretched out an arm, and carefully measured something.
"Captain Mao," she suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, "how long did Butler Cheng dig the hole last night?"
The cat's ears in the grass frowned and recalled, and answered firmly, "We made a special note of this case at the time, about two cups of tea."
Wen Xiaoyun secretly calculated that the time for one cup of tea is about 10-14 minutes in modern time, and the time for two cups of tea is less than half an hour.
Although the current pit has been dug much deeper, the initial boundary can still be vaguely seen.
The initial depth is consistent with the time speed of one person, a shovel, and more than 20 minutes.
If it were really buried deeper, there wouldn't be enough backfilling in such a short period of time.
This way you can be sure that the money is not in this pit.
But if it were not in this pit, where would it be?
Wen Xiaoyun was temporarily trapped in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Wen Xiaoyun suddenly remembered something and quickly called the space-time system in her brain waves.
"Yunnan No. 10, what did you just say?"
Yunnan No. 10: "What does the host want to ask?"
"That string of rainbow farts just now, how did you praise me?"
"Oh, that's what Yunnan No. 10 said, 'Master host, you are so smart. You can solve the case by using your micro-expression reactions and experience in magic revelation. Yunnan No. 10 will give you one hundred and twenty points here.
Like, Master, you are awesome!'"
Wen Xiaoyun excitedly snapped her fingers, and the magic was revealed!
The people around looked stunned again.
Are all geniuses so clever at solving crimes?
One moment his facial features are distorted, and another moment he snaps his fingers in ecstasy, the storyteller is not so exciting, okay?
Wen Xiaoyun really made a big discovery.
The so-called magic reveal is to throw out a bunch of gimmicks to attract people's attention and take advantage of people's unpreparedness to change the situation.
So just keep an eye on the gangster's demands and all the actions of Butler Cheng!
Wen Xiaoyun excitedly retrieved the bag of stones, looked back at the old elm tree, looked far into the distance to check the direction of his thoughts, then looked up at the sky, then walked to the east, taking three steps as he went.
Just as everyone was looking more and more confused, she suddenly picked up a shovel from the ground, jumped back a step, threw the bag of stones to the ground, and started digging up the ground with all her strength.
In just one cup of tea, the shovel dug into a hard mass.
Wen Xiaoyun wiped the sweat off his head and shoveled twice more, revealing a gray cloth bag.
Pulling it out with force, I opened it and saw that everything I saw was shining silver.
She picked up a big ingot, raised it high above her head, and shouted, "The case is solved!"
Everyone rushed forward. Ning Yuanwai, who ran faster than a rabbit, was the first to rush to the pit, pulled out the entire money bag, and started counting with trembling hands.
Standing outside the crowd, Magistrate Wang looked at Wen Xiaoyun with a smile, "Wen Xingfang, I just saw you walking back and forth a few times, how can you be sure that the silver is within two steps?"
Yinnuo also raised his head when he heard this, looking at Wen Xiaoyun with curiosity.
Wen Xiaoyun explained with a smile, "To make a thousand taels disappear out of thin air in front of everyone is actually a kind of trick.
The magic of magic is that it allows people to witness an impossible thing actually happening before their eyes.
What actually happened was a scam that deceived people's eyes.
To make a good scam, you need to set up deceptive gimmicks to attract people's attention, and then take the opportunity to secretly change things.
There are three gimmicks used to deceive people in this case.
The first one is Butler Cheng, who appears to be one of his own, but is actually the real murderer.
The second one is the method of burying money.
Everyone is under people's gaze during the process, and it seems that there is no chance to play tricks. In fact, there is still one place that people think is a normal detail and ignores it.
Those were the conditions set out in the kidnappers' ransom letters.
Late at night, three steps east of a thick old elm tree.
Why did the kidnapper make this special request?
I was thinking just now that late at night, what could be done to block the eyes of the surrounding policemen and hide the money?"
"It's late at night, it's a very dark time, so it can be easily blocked without using anything special, right?" Prefect Wang said thoughtfully.
Wen Xiaoyun smiled and shook his head, "Captain Mao and the others are very sure about all the details. It can be seen that they were able to see Butler Cheng when they started burying the money."
Mao Er recalled and said, "Wen Xingfang was right. Although it was dark last night, there was a bit of moonlight. The Ning family mansion not far away was brightly lit, so we could always borrow some light. In addition, in late autumn, the grass
They are all withered and the leaves have almost fallen off. We can generally see Butler Cheng’s movements.”
Other supervising detectives also echoed.
Wen Xiaoyun continued, "At night in the woods and mountains, the thing that affects people's vision the most is the moonlight. I just thought about it, last night was the second half of the moon, and the moon came out in the afternoon. At midnight, the moon fell into the west and almost disappeared.
.Compared with the first half of the night, it was a lot darker.
At that time, Butler Cheng was standing to the east of the old elm tree, and the last shadow of the tree also happened to be cast on the east side, so that was the time when it was easiest to make a mistake.
I simulated Butler Cheng's route on the spot and found that in addition to the shadow covering the east side, there is also a slight slope. If he takes a long step with one foot, but turns around and digs a hole at the second step, under the slope
People who just don't see things clearly.
After digging the hole and burying the money, Butler Cheng lay down on the ground, quietly took a wrong step, and picked up a lot of branches and leaves to cover the third step.
And there are empty bags that have been arranged long ago, waiting for people to dig out them later."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized
"So this is what happened?" Ning said in disbelief, "But Butler Cheng was indeed assigned by me temporarily. How could he be so sure that he would be the one to bury the money?"
Wen Xiaojun looked at the tied up Butler Cheng with a solemn look, "He is the old butler of the Ning Mansion. The young master with unpredictable temper can be led by him unconsciously. I am afraid that your habits will also be touched by him besides Mr. Ning."
It has to be clear and clear. As long as he deliberately appears in front of you at the critical moment and says a few guiding words, it will be easy for him to win the task of burying the money."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuanwai's face suddenly turned pale.
The scene that night was indeed as Wen Xiaoyun said.
Thinking about it really sends chills down your spine.
Without waiting for Ning Yuanwai to get angry again, Wen Xiaoyun walked directly to Butler Cheng and looked down at him with complicated expressions, "You were the one who carried the young master to the front of the crowd at the temple fair, right?"
Butler Cheng sneered, "That's right, it's me. I have indeed figured out the young master's temperament. I put a sweat medicine in his candied haws, and when he fell asleep, he quietly handed his to a couple.
An old couple in the outer suburbs had made up a lie in advance, saying that I was a widower and that my child had no mother. I had to go out for two days for an emergency. They asked them to help take care of me. Later, they got my letter and helped to send the child home.
"
"It's really hard to guard against house thieves day and night. Our Ning family treats you so well, but you want to harm my son-" Ning Hai was so angry that he just wanted to peel off Butler Cheng's muscles.
She didn't want to talk but was interrupted by Wen Xiaoyun halfway through, "Executive member Ning, there are still many details in this case, please be patient."
With that said, Wen Xiaoyun asked the returning housekeeper, "Did you also spread the rumor about Yuanbao Little Fairy on purpose to confuse people?"
"That's right," Butler Cheng raised his head with all his strength, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I, Cheng Lu, have been planning for so long, but I didn't expect that today, you, a little scribe, would reveal it. It's just my bad luck.
You deserve this calamity!"
Wen Xiaoyun sighed, "Although the whole case was an act of betrayal and cheating, but in the end, you did not harm the young master of the Ning family. Even though the young master was arrogant and unreasonable to you, you did not make it to the last step. You did not
Not really a villain, right?"
Butler Cheng was startled and laughed at himself, "No, I just want to be a heinous villain. In this world, it is always hard to be a good person, and good people are bullied by others! Kill people and set fire to gold belts, build bridges and pave roads without corpses, I am
I hate that little beast so much! I’m going to kill him!”
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes suddenly turned cold and she interrupted him coldly, "Because of your father?"
Cheng Lu looked at her for a moment, then her crazy smile twitched, "How do you know_"
Wen Xiaoyun's smile was a little sad, "Ning Yuanwai said that you were very loyal, and your father's illness didn't delay you from finding the young master. Isn't this the truth?"
Cheng Lu's eyes suddenly turned sour, she smiled sadly, and murmured: "Last year, my father and younger brother came to see me. The little beast went to the street and laughed and scattered copper plates all over the floor, asking people around to pick them up. My father saw them and asked for them.
After taking a detour, he grabbed my father's beard and insisted that he take my brother to pick it up.
My father was afraid that he would disobey his little master and it would be difficult for me to do in the Ning family, so he lowered his head and took my brother to pick it up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he bent down, the little beast took out his slingshot and beat my father and brother on the head.
Broken blood flow.
He also called him a weakling, a shit-eating pug, and had to beg him to continue beating him after he ate marbles made of silver!
My father was so disgraced that he vomited blood and was carried away by my brother crying.
From then on, my father became ill and finally passed away not long ago.
As a son of a man, I see my father and brothers being humiliated, but I can't complain at all. I hate it! I hate the little beast, I want to strangle him to death!
But...it can..."
At this point, Butler Cheng couldn't help but burst into tears, "Dad, my son is sorry for you! In the end, I won't even stop to avenge you..."
Hearing this, everyone present was moved.
Wen Xiaoyun sighed, "So the best way out you can think of is to take a thousand taels of silver and leave the Ning family forever."
The prefect Wang also expressed some emotion, "Cheng Lu, no matter what the reason is, robbing people's children or defrauding people of money is not the right way. Your father is a self-respecting man, and he is willing to be humiliated just to make your life better. If you do this, you will end up with it."
It's because he failed his old man's wishes.
It's just that you found your way back, and you didn't kill anyone in the end. When you go to court, there may be ways to reduce the punishment. From now on, you must be a good person and don't let your father's painstaking efforts down again."
At this point, Cheng Lu was in tears, trembling all over and unable to say a word.
The prefect Wang waved his hand and asked his men to escort Cheng Lu down.
Turning to Wen Xiaoyun again, a kind smile appeared on his face, "After all, he is the proud disciple of Yin Tuiguan, and his strength is indeed extraordinary. Although the position of prison clerk is lower, it is also a practical position. As long as you are talented, you can create something
Merit will come. Do your work well and Yanzhou will not bury you."
Wen Xiaoyun bowed and clasped his hands in salute, "I will obey your teachings, and my subordinates will do their best."
Magistrate Wang smiled and nodded, and then left first, surrounded by a kind of government servants. Upon seeing this, Ning Yuanwai quickly followed with his servants to see him off.
Only Yin Nuo, Wen Xiaoyun, Mao Er and a few finishing agents were left at the scene.
With a ding, the space-time system appeared in the brainwaves again, "Congratulations to the host, the first installment of Time-Space Gender has arrived."
Wen Xiaoyun secretly wiped his sweat, and finally completed the first main task. He patted the dirt on his body and wanted to go down the mountain with him.
At this time, a male voice suddenly came, "Are you relaxed now?"
Wen Xiaoyun frowned and looked up, meeting Yin Nuo's poker face again.
What a waste of this good skin, Wen Xiaoyun felt regretful and responded angrily, "Yang Guandao, why did you call me?"
Mao Er and several other detectives were stunned, Yang Guan said: What the hell?
When did their Yin Tou family change its name?
The corners of Yin Nuo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile, "Do you know your current position?"
