"At the time, I was flushing water in the tea stove."

"And after that?"

Ran Ruzhai hurried back half an hour later, during that time, Ran Ruzhai spent most of his time in the front yard, even if he stayed in the silversmith shop, he left the back door of the silversmith shop open. In this way, when he sits in the silversmith shop, he can also see the situation in the backyard, and sometimes, Ran Ruzhai simply takes the work to the foyer to do it. After Ran Shijie handed over the things to Ran Ruzhai, he left the front yard. ”

"When did you sneak into the front yard of the Ran family?"

"At about eight o'clock, I sneaked into the East Wing. After Ran Ruzhai went to bed, I got out of the east wing. Ran Ruzhai was wary of the three brothers and sisters of Ran Shijie, he did not drink the wine that Ran Shijie gave her, but drank the wine he bought. After drinking a glass of wine and pondering for a while, Ran Ruzhai turned off the lights and went to sleep. ”

Jiang Fengqi mentions chess for the second time.

At a critical time, Ran Ruzhai thought of chess, and only by leaving a blood mark on the chess could the information be accurately conveyed to Ran Shikai.

"Why did you sneak into the front yard so early, have you been waiting for the appearance of the three Ran siblings?"

"I thought that the three brothers and sisters of the Ran family would do it after Ran Ruzhai fell asleep. After waiting for a while, I went back to the backyard of Ran's house. Instead of waiting for them in the front yard, I should wait for them at home, and if they want to leave the backyard, they have to pass in front of my house. ”

"At about three o'clock, the brothers Ran Shixiong and Ran Shijie walked out of the back door of the second entrance, and it was only at this time that I understood why they wanted to do it after three o'clock."

"Why?"

"Until three o'clock, there was a lot of movement in Hoop Barrel Alley. The three daughters of the Mei family are in the leather and meat business, so there are men in the alley at any time. Immediately afterwards, the door of Ran Shimei's house opened, but unexpectedly, my cat squatted at the door, the cat saw three figures, screamed and ran into the yard, but ran into Ran Shimei, Ran Shimei almost screamed, fortunately Ran Shijie - or Ran Shixiong covered Ran Shimei's mouth with his hand. Two or three minutes after they walked out of the hallway, I followed. ”

"You had a hammer in your hand when you followed?"

"Yes, I prepared the hammer beforehand."

"Did the cat bark when you left?"

"Yes, when I went out, the cat barked two or three times. How do you know this? ”

Xie Yao's daughter Xie Xiaoman got up at three o'clock to relieve herself, first heard a few cat meows, the sound was very poignant, she also heard talking and footsteps, two or three minutes later, she heard a few cat meows, but this time the cat meows were relatively gentle. It was these two different cat meows that Xie Xiaoman's mother and daughter thought of you. ”

"How did they think of me?"

"They often hear cats barking at night, and they are the kind of gentle cat meows that they only make in the presence of their masters, or only when they have disturbed their good dreams. So, I concluded that after three minutes, someone must have passed down the aisle, and that person could only be you. If it were someone else, the cat would not have been gentle. Li Dahong's mother and daughter can often hear cats barking at night. ”

Jiang Fengqi was reluctant to be arrested: "How did you guess that the anonymous note was given to you by me?" ”

"You answer us a few questions first, and I'll answer yours."

"Just ask!"
