The Golden Hairpin

"Yes, after that, even if she runs, it is estimated that it will not be enough to go back and forth..." Fan Yuanlong asked first.

"Yes, after the petals fell, Aunt Gongsun continued to perform, releasing the butterflies hidden in the sleeves one by one, and the butterflies flew faster and faster, until they all flew out at the end-if she was at that time If they are not here, the butterfly will surely disappear. It's impossible to master it so well and fly so slowly, right?" Zhou Ziqin began to whimsical again: "Could it be that Aunt Gongsun has any way to fly back and forth before the petals fall. Is it the method of shrinking the ground, or one step?"

"Of course not. Shudi method and one step tenzhang are just legends. But why don't you change your mind? In fact, Aunt Gongsun didn't go back and forth too fast. When the butterfly flew out, she didn't need to rush back, but there was a Planting things can help her control the speed at which the butterflies fly out, so that they can't rush away, they can only fly out slowly, but they can gradually fly faster and faster, flying out more and more..."

Zhou Ziqin blinked a pair of puzzled eyes and looked at her wateryly: "Could it be...is it a mechanism that can delay activation after it is controlled? So it will slowly open after she leaves?"

"No, how could such an institution be placed on a gauze curtain and a piece of brocade? Why is it so troublesome? And the things she used at that time also let you help and eliminate some traces."

Huang Zixian’s words made Zhou Ziqin’s mouth suddenly open into a round shape: "Really...really? Impossible. When did I help her...I don’t have much contact with Aunt Gongsun, and I haven’t done anything!"

"Because you ignored it from the beginning to the end, you didn't think of it at all." Huang Zixia said, taking out a small bag of caramel from her side and showing it to everyone, "As far as I know, because Yin Siniang has a loss of blood and energy, so she She often carries a bag of candies with her. She chose not hard candies such as **** candies or snow flake candies, but soft and waxy caramel candies."

Yin Luyi couldn't help but interrupt her, her voice was timid, but there was a hint of needle hidden in the cotton: "Daddy Yang, I like to eat sugar candy, is it...Is this also a fault?"

"Of course not. Some people like hard candies and some like soft candies. It's a personal choice. However, like you, you want a whole plate of caramel, but you have never seen it." Huang Zixia distributed the caramel to everyone one by one. Said, "Moreover, after you bought a whole plate of caramel, you didn’t cut it open. It was a kind of fun to carve small animals yourself. We can’t say anything. But I want to ask Si Niang one thing—that Where is the whole sheet of glutinous rice paper that the boss deliberately added to the upper and lower sides of the whole plate of syrup to prevent the syrup from melting or sticking?"

The piece of caramel that everyone pinched in their hands was covered with a small piece of glutinous rice paper, a translucent soft sheet, made of glutinous rice to prevent the sugar pieces from sticking together. But it is an indispensable wrapper for every piece of caramel.

The expressions of Gongsun Yuan and Yin Siniang finally changed, and Gongsun Yuan's clear and firm eyes finally began to flicker.

Huang Zixia looked away from her body and said softly: "The butterfly cage that has been prepared for a long time, open it and paste it with glutinous rice paper, and place it behind the gauze curtain. When you take off your coat, you only need to dip your fingers in the saliva. A stroke on the glutinous rice paper, the glutinous rice paper will gradually melt when it sees water, and finally dissolve a big hole. The butterflies in it will fly out one by one, no matter where you are, the hole in the glutinous rice paper They will only get bigger and bigger, and the butterflies will fly faster and faster—"

When she said this, she raised her hand and gestured the distance between the water pavilion and the dock, and asked: "From the time when the petals in the cages all fall to the end of the butterfly flying, is it enough for you to go back and forth and kill one person?"

Such an unthinkable technique, such a precise pinch of time, made everyone who heard it stunned on the spot. For a while, there was silence beside the water pavilion, and no one could make a sound.

In the silence, Gongsun Yuan’s voice came slowly, but it was still calm and calm: "Gong Gong Yang, these killing techniques you fabricated for me are not ingenious, nor are they indifferent. I did not expect that I The fourth sister’s energy and blood is not enough to eat some caramel, you can also think of so much; I prepared a thick and focused dance costume, it has become a modus operandi; even because I am getting older and need to stop taking a break in the middle, you can still be treated by you. Said it was taking the opportunity to go out to kill..."

When she said this, the corners of her lips even showed a smile, bright and bright, very touching: "Then Daddy Yang, what about the evidence? Just because I have time to kill, it must be me who kills? There is no motive and no weapon, your upper and lower lips I killed someone when I touched it?"

"First, of all the people present, you are the only one who can commit crimes. No one else has." Huang Zixia ignored her smile and looked calmer and calmer than her. "Second, the murder weapon, of course I can also Find it, moreover, it can prove that it belongs to you."

Gongsun Yuan raised her chin slightly, stood silently in front of her, and did not speak again, looking at her playful look.

"The first mystery in this case is the time of the crime. Now, we have solved it. And the second mystery is the missing murder weapon. Obviously, a blood hole appeared in Judge Qi's chest, showing that it was stabbed by the murder weapon. But at that time, we searched almost everyone at the scene, but no match was found. Moreover, we did not salvage in the water, nor did we find anything at the scene. This shows that the murder weapon must still be at the scene. It's hidden properly."

Zhou Ziqin couldn't wait again, and quickly said: "But Chonggu, many yamen have been searching here for several days, and they have found nothing! Where is the murder weapon hidden?"

"This, I have to rely on your help." She said, leaning in his ear to say something softly, Zhou Ziqin suddenly jumped up, patted his head and yelled: "Why didn't I expect? Sure enough, I am a fool!"

He didn't say anything, he turned around and rushed, looking at the direction of the Yamen.

Zhou Xu had to confess the crime to Li Shubai embarrassingly: "The dog has nothing to do, and everyone who comes and goes does not say hello..."

Li Shubai put down the tea cup, with a rare smile on his face, and said, "Zi Qin is innocent and unruly, and this king admires him the most."

Zhou Xu quickly put on a look of trepidation, dare to say where and where in his mouth.

Fan Yingxi took a look at his son. Although his face was expressionless, he clearly deflected his face by half an inch to prevent him from appearing in the corner of his eye.

When Zhou Ziqin came back, everyone found that he was holding a thin and ugly dog ​​with a piece of clothing in his arms. It was the piece of clothing that Fan Yuanlong wore that day. Stained with alcohol, Fan Yuanlong had already taken it off and threw it away on the spot. Who knew it was still kept by the Yamen.

Zhou Ziqin squatted down, sent the wiped blood to the dog's nose, touched its head and said, "Rich, smell the blood on it, and look for it! I found a bone for you to eat! "

The dog smelled and smelled, and didn't understand Zhou Ziqin's meaning at all, thought it was for him, opened his mouth wide and bit the head of the cloth in his mouth and chewed twice.

"Hey, you stupid dog..." Zhou Ziqin hurriedly pulled the clothes back from his mouth, looked at the two holes in the teeth, and was suddenly depressed.

"I'll come." Huang Zixian said helplessly, took the dog in his hand, rubbed the dog's head, and led it along the bushes to the place where the Bishacui was originally placed.

Just when she walked between some two bluestone slabs, she stopped. Wealth and wealth walked around her feet a few times. Seeing that she hadn't moved, she kept smelling on the ground, hunching and rubbing. Suddenly, he suddenly lifted his spirits and barked loudly towards a crack in the stone.

Huang Zixian tried his best to contain it, turning her head and saying to everyone, "Pry this stone slab up."

Zhou Ziqin was stunned: "Chonggu, you are fantastic! This stone slab weighs hundreds of kilograms, how can the murderer have time to pry it up and press the murder weapon after killing someone? Besides, the murderer doesn't have that much strength!"

Huang Zixian shook his head and said, "No, the murder weapon is not under the bluestone slab."

"Then why are we prying bluestone?"

"Because, the place where the murder weapon is hidden, if the bluestone is still there, we will not be able to touch it anyway."

Zhou Ziqin didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked the two catchers to quickly find a crowbar and a wooden bar, and then squatted on the ground and gestured to two blue stones and asked her: "Which one is better to pry?"

"Whatever, the smaller one." Huang Zixia said.

"Whatever...?" Zhou Ziqin twitched the corner of his mouth, but then gestured for them to move.

It's being done here, and a group of people next to it are watching.

Gongsunyuan and Yin Luyi's faces were blue and they sat motionless, but the atmosphere around Li Shubai was not depressed at all. Fan Yingxi was pulling Master Mu Shan over to talk to Li Shubai. Li Shubai put on makeup last time, so the two are still seeing each other for the first time. Fan Yingxi blows Master Mu Shan into a great monk with great virtues in the sky. Li Shubai only said that he had heard his name in Beijing. There was no need for a master to be there today, but I heard that he was going out during the day, and he was afraid that he would not be able to meet him in time. That's why I used the mage to have friendship with the judge Qi, and asked him to come over and see that the treasure is solemn and extraordinary.

Both Fan Yingxi and Master Mu Shan were very happy, and a big stone fell to the ground, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhou Xu asked Wang Yun about the old days in Beijing, and also asked Wang Yun's uncles, uncles, cousins, and cousins ​​about the current situation. There were more than a dozen people, enough for him to care about one or two hours.

Fan Yuanlong slipped to Zhou Ziqin's side, watching them pry the blue slate, while lamenting to Zhou Ziqin, if those two beauties are really murderers, it would be a pity, no matter how you have to find a chance to get started in prison, let’s talk about it. ——Naturally, Zhou Ziqin rolled his eyes back. Although Zhou Ziqin looked up and admired beautiful women, he despised this kind of pervert. Moreover, he is also a child of the absurd and no official family. What he likes is corpses, which is very different from people like Fan Yuanlong.

The small stone slabs really saved time and effort. A few people lifted the stone open in a while, and an empty cavity appeared. There was only a little mud between the slate and the slab, and nothing else.

Zhou Ziqin invited Huang Zixian to come over, pointed to the soil under the stone slab and asked: "Under this, do you want to dig down?"

"No need." She said, borrowing Zhou Ziqin's gloves, squatting down and touching it in the soil around the slate, and then took out an object with great accuracy, and took the dress of Fan Yuanlong next to it, and dipped it. Wipe up the muddy things.

As soon as the contents were revealed, Zhou Ziqin suddenly called out: "A murder weapon!"

One inch wide and four inches long, it looks like just a long and narrow iron piece, but its cutting edge is as thin as paper, so it can be inserted into the narrow gap between the two stone slabs without hindrance. This piece of iron is extremely sharp, and the light is shining on it, and the light that flashes out almost makes the eyes hard to open. The steel-making, frosty blade, makes people tremble.

Huang Zixian compared this murder weapon with the two blood stains rubbed on Fan Yuanlong's body.

She put it on her gloved hand and presented it in front of everyone, saying: "In the past, Emperor Taizong once gave Wucai people three artifacts to tame the lion's chest, iron whip, hammer and dagger. That dagger was originally Taizong. The belongings were cold iron sent from overseas at that time. It was cast into twenty-four pieces. Only one of them was particularly outstanding. It was selected by Taizong and worn with him. Legend has it that the cold iron of the sea country never rusts, even after a hundred years, it will still be strong. The blade is as good as ever, so don't look at it."

After everyone's glance, she put the piece of iron back on the table of the Shuixie, and said lightly: "Later, this dagger became the property of Aunt Gongsun during the Kaiyuan period. She was dancing at the time, holding a long one in her hand. Two short swords, the long sword is "Chengying", which has been lost now, and the short sword is the cold iron dagger. However, there is another legend about Chengying, do you remember?"

Her gaze turned to Li Shubai. Li Shubai knew well, and never forgotten all the classics. She naturally said: "There are clouds in "Lie Zi Tang Wen", and there are three swords in Kong Zhou. I don’t know it is. What it touches is endless, and it is not aware of it. The second is to bear the shadow, to make a acquaintance with the ambiguity, and to observe it from the north when it is faint. It’s touched, stealing sounds, and passing things but things are not sick—but later there is a rumor that Hanguang and Chengying are twins, and Hanguang is in the shadow of the shadow, and it is an invisible and shadowless sword. Chengying is just its outer sheath."
