Chapter 257 Suspicious Clouds of the Post Station (Medium)

It was all dark, and the night of winter was cold, and Su Jin and the others came to the courtyard from the hot hall, and they all shivered; Xiao Sui'er and Xiao Xian'er, who didn't know where to hide, stepped forward one after another, each holding a cloak and putting it on Su Jin and Yan Biyun.

Fu Bi sighed: "You are still blessed, brother, I can only be frozen." ”

Su Jin hurriedly took off the cloak from his body and handed it to Fu Bi and said, "Brother is wearing it, I told them to get it again." ”

Fu Bi smiled and snapped his fingers, and one of the guards around the campfire immediately stepped forward, and Fu Bi said, "Go and get my cloak." ”

The soldier agreed, trotted all the way, and after a while, he came out with a silver cloak, Fu Bi took it, laughed, shook off the cloak and draped it on his body in a chic manner.

Xiao Sui'er and Xiao Xian'er couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile, Fu Bi waved his hand and said, "Let's go, what will we see?" ”

Su Jinxin said, this guy is quite stinky, a middle-aged uncle in his forties, with a horse face, but wearing a silver cloak of brocade, he is too windy.

At that moment, he led the two of them through the soldiers around the bonfire to the gate of the courtyard, and when they came to the gate of the post station, Su Jin patted the hardwood door panel that was seven or eight inches thick, and said softly: "Brother, come and see, is there a way to break this door and rush in?" ”

Fu Bi groped up and down and said: "Just kidding, this is a hardwood door, No, you see that several iron rungs in the middle lock the wood, which invisibly increases the strength several times, and if you want to come in, unless you open the door from the inside, how can you get in." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "That's it, the rich brother's vision should not be wrong, so the brother looks at the post station where people can enter and exit without being known?" Tang Jie was killed at this Niutouyi, along with more than a dozen soldiers escorted at the same time, such a method is afraid that ordinary bandits can't do it at all. ”

Fu Bi pondered: "It's not just an ordinary bandit, it's the legendary gentleman of Liang Shang who can't do anything if he is afraid to fly on the grass without knowing it, and the corpse is said to have been discovered by the miscellaneous servants in the post station on the second day, and there is indeed a doubt here." ”

Yan Biyun interjected: "Will you enter the post station from elsewhere, although this wall is high, I am afraid it is not without omissions." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "What Biyun said is reasonable, why don't we walk along the wall of this post station and check it out?" ”

Fu Bi said: "Does Little Brother Su want to learn from Master Bao to solve cases?" It is fresh, too. ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "I'm Dong Shi Xiaofeng, there is nothing to do left and right, and now I have just arrived at the beginning of the shift, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep when I return to the room; If my brother is sleepy, go back and rest, and I'll go and find out. ”

Yan Biyun said: "The slave family will accompany you." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "You naturally want to accompany me." ”

Fu Bi said: "That's not possible, I'm not sleepy, I mean, why did the little brother suddenly think of this problem?" ”

Su Jin opened the door of the post station, stepped out of the door and said: "Under the suspicion ......" The voice became extremely small and almost inaudible.

Fu Bi probed his ears and only heard Su Jin say in an inaudible voice: "I suspect that there is an internal response in this post station, surrounded by wilderness, and there are lookout sentinels on the stone tower, how can those people escape their eyes, even if the moon and the moon are dark and the wind is high on the day of the crime, and the sentinels may not be able to see the people who are quietly approaching, but how those people came in is definitely a mystery." ”

The three of them stepped on the misty light sprinkled by the crescent moon, and walked along the wall of the post station to check all the way.

"Look at this wall, it's more than five or six feet high, and the thing on the wall should be a thorn and a stinger, and then look at the wall." Su Jin said as he reached out and stroked on the wall, and when his thumb and forefinger twisted, the wall was slippery and greasy.

"This is a rammed earth wall, and the outside is painted with river mud, who can go up such a wall?" Su Jindao.

Fu Bi reached out and touched the wall, felt it and shook his head: "That's true, this wall can't be passed without grabbing hooks and ropes, and it is even more difficult to enter under the surveillance of the stone tower." ”

Su Jin said: "Let's take a turn, even if there is something to grab, there will be traces on the wall, and if you step on the wall with your foot, the river mud will not be able to stand the force." "Demonstrations usually use their toes to twist on the wall, and suddenly the outer layer of dirt falls, leaving a clear groove that looks quite conspicuous.

The three of them spent more than half an hour walking around the post station, but they didn't find any traces of someone stepping on it, Fu Bi stopped and said: "However, there must be an internal response in this post station, not to mention anything else, the personnel on duty that night must be suspicious." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "It's not completely certain, maybe the group of people used other methods to enter is unknown, what way can they enter the post station without leaving a trace?" ”

Yan Biyun suddenly said, "What about the ladder?" Wouldn't it be quiet to come in with a ladder? ”

Su Jin and Fu Bi both said suddenly: "That's right, the bamboo ladder is on the wall, isn't there no trace, and there is no movement." ”

Yan Biyun suddenly said, "But even if you use a ladder, you can't escape the eyes of the guards on the stone tower." ”

Su Jin said softly: "This is the crux of the matter, if it can be proved that someone did use a ladder to enter the post station that night, and there were soldiers watching the night on the stone tower that night, then it can be judged that either the soldiers did not do their duty, or the soldiers on the stone tower were the internal response." The first task was to find traces of the ladder and prove that someone had entered through the wall. ”

"What if you can't find a ladder?" Fu Bi asked.

Su Jin said softly: "Then I can only suspect that the person who kept vigil in the front yard that night was guilty, because only by opening the gate of the post station and letting people in, it is possible to touch Tang Jie's place without a trace and kill him." ”

The three of them turned around and looked carefully, and when they reached outside a wall in the northeast corner, Su Jin suddenly pulled Fu Bi who was walking in front, and Fu Bi hurriedly stopped and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Jin squatted down, looked against the faint moonlight at the base of the wall, and chuckled: "Sure enough! ”

Yan Biyun and Fu Bi said in unison: "What? ”

Su Jin pointed to the dry grass under the root of the wall and said, "You look sideways, is there any difference in the grass there?" ”

Fu Bi and Yan Biyun looked in the horizontal direction following Su Jin's example, and suddenly found that the dry grass under the root of the wall was indeed a little unusual.

"Do you see what's going on?" Su Jin asked.

Yan Biyun said softly: "Although the grass under the roots of the north and south walls is withered and yellow, the direction of growth is the same, and the grass in the middle is crooked, as if it has been trampled on. ”

Su Jin pinched her little hand and praised: "Yes, that's right." ”

Fu Bi said: "In other words, those people have stayed here and stepped on it, so that's why it's like this, right?" ”

Su Jin said: "It can be roughly judged like this, and it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by the trampling of wild beasts or livestock, let's take a look." ”

Su Jin got up first, and walked close to the extremely irregular grass that was lodging, his attention just now was focused on the wall, and he didn't notice such an abnormality, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was indeed very conspicuous.

Su Jin bent down to take a closer look, looking back and forth a little distance from the base of the wall, and finally said softly: "It's here." ”

Fu Bi and Yan Biyun hurriedly went over to look, Su Jin slowly pushed aside the grass, and the traces of the two obvious ladder feet were presented in front of him, and due to the weight of the weight, the grass at the foot of the ladder was pressed into two round scars.

Fu Bi said happily: "Little Brother Su really has the demeanor of Lord Bao, these details can be discerned." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Master Bao said that things themselves are not difficult to distinguish, it is rare that you have to know how to distinguish, I am a small skill of carving insects, how can I compare with Lord Bao." ”

Fu Bi said: "Then this matter should be decided." ”

Su Jin said: "Don't panic, you can help me find the same ladder foot traces, and I want to prove whether my inference is correct." ”

Fu Bi said: "The same ladder foot traces? You mean there are two ladders? ”

Su Jin said: "No, one in and one out is the same ladder, such a high wall, after going up, people can only stand on the wall, and then pull the ladder up, put it on the inside and then go down, and when the person comes out after killing, it must be the same method, the footprints of the ladder placed twice cannot be in the same position, so if I can find another trace, it can prove my inference." ”

Fu Bi hurriedly pouted his ass and rummaged around the left, Yan Biyun also turned his head sideways to check carefully, Su Jin got up and looked at the top of the wall, observing the abnormality on the top of the wall, and then heard Fu Bi lower his voice and said: "I found it, there are indeed traces here, Little Brother Su, you are really a god." ”

Su Jin hurriedly went over to look, and sure enough, it was just that these two circular traces were relatively slight and not easy to find.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and he could almost conclude that the person who killed Tang Jie had entered from here, and the rest of the matter was to ask the personnel on duty that night to find out if it was an internal response.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are two marks in there as well, right?" Fu Bi is complacent about his cleverness.

Su Jin smiled, shook his head and said, "No, there is only one place." ”

Fu Bi was stunned and said, "Why is that?" ”

Yan Biyun sneered and said: "When a person goes down from the wall, kills someone and comes up again, the ladder only needs to be parked in one place, and there is no need to move at all, naturally there is only one trace." ”

Fu Bi suddenly realized, patted his forehead and scolded himself for being stupid.

Su Jin said: "Now let's do an experiment. ”

Fu Bi said: "What test? ”

Su Jin said: "Let's find a ladder to climb up the wall and see if the sentry guards on the stone tower can find out." ”

Fu Bi said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to carry the ladder." ”

Su Jin said: "At the same time, I asked to send someone to watch the gate, and once the results of the test came out, I immediately reported to Lord Yan, and all the post station personnel were held, and I asked about the situation that night, and I will get something." ”

Fu Bi said with a smile: "Very good, let's help Master Bao solve this case by the way, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for him to come to heaven." ”
