Chapter 2021 The Waiter

Gu Xin came to the table, smelled the half-drunk cup of tea, and suddenly found a handkerchief under the table, with a Chinese character "Yuan" embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief.

She didn't pick it up, because the book said that things at the scene should not be moved.

She suddenly realized that her observation was still too one-sided, and there might be other clues. For a moment, Gu Xin became interested in solving the case, and looked around the room.

In addition to the footprints on the window and the handkerchief on the ground, she also found that there was something wrong with the wall of this room. The back covered by a painting was actually empty.

If things at the murder scene cannot be moved, then she can go to the next room to take a look.

So, Gu Xin came to the next room and determined that there was also a painting in the same position as the painting on the wall at the murder scene, and it was crooked.

She called a yamen runner: "Take down this painting, and then push the wall hard."

Yamen runner: "?"

Gu Xin: "Don't stand there, push it, I asked you to do it, and let your boss find me if there is anything wrong."

The yamen runner stepped forward and took down the painting.

Gu Xin stepped forward and knocked on the wall. It was indeed empty. Then she stepped aside and let the yamen runner push.

This push only loosened a little.

The yamen runner was stunned.

Gu Xin: "Try harder."

The yamen runner blushed. Although Princess Xinxin was very powerful, I was a yamen runner of Jingzhao Prefecture. Unlike other people who relied on connections, I was selected layer by layer based on my strength.

So he used his greatest strength.

A hole was pushed out. This hole could pass a small person, and a tall and thin person could also pass through.

Gu Xin came to the table in this room and looked at the foot of the table. There was dust and traces of movement. There was also half a shoe print on the table.

She couldn't help but speculate that Li Yuyan was not the murderer. The murderer knocked Li Yuyan unconscious, killed Xiao Cui, and then put the bottle in Li Yuyan's hand, and then printed a footprint on the window, and went through the hole in the wall to the next room.

In this way, the door of the murder scene was locked. The investigators saw the shoe prints and thought that the person escaped from the window. It is estimated that no one thought that Bai Er was just opposite the window and did not see anyone escape.

In terms of time, they arrived at the opposite side of the street, saw Li Yuyan, and Bai Er was there, then they slowly crossed the street, said a few words downstairs, and went upstairs.

That is, when she crossed the street, Li Yuyan entered the room and drank tea and fainted.

When she went downstairs, Xiao Cui was killed, the murderer arranged the scene, escaped from the hole in the wall, and she went upstairs.

When she went upstairs, the murderer was still in the next room and was blocked by her.

After she entered the room, Dongxue was standing outside the door, and the murderer certainly could not escape.

Later, she talked to Bai Er and Li Yuyan, and then Dongxue and Xiaoer argued.

The Xiaoer probably did not come up from downstairs, but came out from the next room.

If he really came out from the next room, he would turn around and come to this room, anxiously asking about the situation, and Dongxue would only think that he came up from downstairs.

Yes, it is very likely to be the case.

Fortunately, she asked the shopkeeper to keep all the people working in time, otherwise where would she find the waiter if he ran away?

Gu Xin knocked on the wall of this room again. Except for the connection with the next room, the rest of the room was solid and complete.

She felt more and more that it was the waiter.

She asked the yamen runners to watch this room as well, and then she went downstairs.
