Although Lin Yi was not from the Yamen, Cao Dahua inferred from the confident tone and calm expression on the other party's face that Lin Yi already had clues to find the murderer.
He himself didn’t have much of a clue. Instead of carrying another iron pot on his back, he might as well let the young man in front of him try it, maybe there would be some discoveries that would advance the case.
"Come with me."
Cao Dahua didn't say much, and came to the stage during the day with Lin Yi, Su Can, and Fang Jing.
The sky was dark at this time, so Su Can asked his servants to light all the candles in the hall. After a while, the room was as bright as day.
Due to the urgency of the matter during the day, the old man did not take away the rope and wooden box.
Lin Yi came to the stage and began to investigate the props used by the old man to perform the fairy rope.
If you want to know how the child was killed in the clouds and mist, you must first decipher the mystery of this fairy rope. Only in this way can you deduce how the murderer committed the crime.
Picking up the rope and weighing it, Lin Yi felt that the hemp rope was much heavier than ordinary ropes.
Looking at the rope end, Lin Yi found a clue.
There is a hidden iron hook in the depression at the end of the rope!
Lin Yi reacted quickly and immediately looked up.
The top of the stage is empty.
No!
Lin Yi's eyes gradually became blank and he used his heavenly eyes to observe.
Gradually, a very thin thread appeared in Lin Yi's sight.
With the rope head with an iron hook and the thin thread hanging in the air, Lin Yi immediately cracked the mystery of the immortal rope flying into the sky!
There is a hidden iron hook at the end of the rope, a telescopic elastic device inside the rope, and a strong thin rope hanging high in the sky.
When the rope is thrown upward, the telescopic spring inside the rope carries the rope body upward until the iron hook hooks the thin rope.
As the spring bounces upward, the rope head emits a gas similar to dry ice, forming a large amount of cloud and fog, blocking the audience's sight.
Because this rope is extremely thin, and the cover of clouds and fog makes it impossible for people to detect the existence of this thin rope.
The stage built in the hall is originally darker than the outdoor light, so it is more conducive to hiding the string.
Lin Yi also thought clearly about why the old man had to say a few words when he was about to show off the magic rope at Digong on Horseshoe Street, just to wait for the sky to get darker.
When the end of the rope was hung with a thin thread hanging in the air, the old man pulled the rope to make sure it was tight.
Children climb up the rope, this is hard work.
When he reaches the rope, hide in the clouds and mist, wait for a while, and then throw the peaches prepared in advance from the sky.
In this case, the first half of the fairy rope is completely explained.
So, how did the child hide in the wooden box in full view of everyone?
There must be something in this wooden box.
Lin Yi opened the wooden box and found that the stumps and torsos that had fallen from the air were all replicas of realistic props.
Lin Yi found a pull-out opening on the back of the torso.
Open the zipper and the inside of the torso is empty.
Lin Yi instantly understood the principle of the child's "resurrection" in the wooden box.
I pressed my hand on the bottom of the wooden box, and sure enough, there was a mezzanine inside.
So, the child was in the clouds and mist, hiding inside the torso that had been vacuum-prepared in advance.
These mutilated limb props are most likely hidden in places where strings are hung.
The child first dropped the other residual limbs from the air, and finally hid in the trunk and fell from the string.
Those props are made of rubber-like items. Children are light in weight and have large torsos, so they are cushioned and protected by rubber products when they come down. Of course, this also requires hard work.
Then the old man put the child's torso into the wooden box.
After the lid of the wooden box was closed, the child immediately climbed out of the torso and stuffed the props into the mezzanine at the bottom of the wooden box. He lay on the upper floor, waiting for the old man’s knocking signal, and then " "Intact" stood up from the wooden box.
After such inferences, the second half of the fairy rope has been cracked.
If this is the secret of the fairy rope, then when the child was killed, it could only be the time when he was on the string in the clouds and preparing to hide in the torso.
The person closest to the stage during this time period is the most suspicious!
......
Since Lin Yi came to the stage, Cao Dahua has been watching him do some strange behaviors.
Sometimes he was playing with the rope, sometimes he was looking up at the sky, sometimes he was rummaging through the wooden box, sometimes he was thoughtful...
This look made Cao Dahua feel itchy.
I always wanted to step forward and ask what happened, but I was afraid of disturbing Lin Yi's thoughts.
Finally, Lin Yi seemed to have completed his investigation and walked towards Su Can.
The four of them gathered together, and Lin Yi asked Su Can: "Uncle Su, when the Immortal Cable is being performed on the stage today, where is the long-term worker named Zhou Hui working?"< /p>
Before Su Can could speak, the butler Fang Jing said immediately: "On the stage."
Fang Jing's words made Lin Yi's eyes light up, and he quickly asked: "Why? Will he be on the stage when the old man and his son are performing?"
Fang Jing replied: "That's right, performing on this stage requires the host to arrange some transportation of props or keep the stage clean. People, it is better to say that they are on the stage than they are behind the stage, where no one can see them. If there is a need, they will appear."
"So that's where Zhou Hui was at that time. Where is the location?"
Fang Jing led the three of them to a large pillar on the side of the stage and said, "Zhou Hui should have been standing here at that time."
Lin Yishun. Look up at the pillarGo, one end of the string hanging in the air is connected to this pillar.
Passed!
Everything works!
"I know who the murderer is!"
Cao Dahua was shocked at first by Lin Yi's words, and then his nostrils dilated with excitement, and he quickly walked to Lin Yi and asked: "Lin Yi?" Brother, you said you already know who the murderer is?"
"If my inference is not wrong, the person who killed the child and injured Mr. Su is the same person, so he is right!"
" p>
Cao Dahua's face showed uncontrollable joy.
Except for catching the bachelor who stole the widow's underwear at night and the liar who blackmailed someone by picking up porcelain on the street, this is the first real case that Cao Dahua is expected to solve.
Unable to help himself, Cao Dahua's back hardened and his chest puffed up.
"Why don't you hurry up and get someone?"
Cao Dahua was so excited that he forgot his identity and actually asked Lin Yi to get someone. He is the real catcher!
Master Su Can was still calm and asked: "Brother Lin, could this murderer be from my Su family?"
Lin Yi nodded and replied: "Uncle Su , I would like to ask you to send someone to call Zhou Hui for questioning."
As soon as he said this, everyone knew who the murderer Lin Yi said was.
Su Can winked at the housekeeper Fang Jing beside him, who immediately called for someone to go to where Zhou Hui lived.
After a while, several servants of the Su family came over pressing Zhou Hui.
"Master, what's going on?"
Zhou Hui looked worried and had no idea what the situation in front of him was.
"Zhou Hui, this is Agent Cao, and this is Brother Lin next to him. If they ask you something later, just answer truthfully."
Su Can said, He waved his hand.
The servant let go of Zhou Hui’s hand.
Zhou Hui looked at Cao Dahua, then at Lin Yi, and nodded blankly.
Cao Dahua blushed when he saw everyone looking at him. How could he know why Zhou Hui was the murderer? He had to ask Lin Yi.
"Ahem, Brother Lin, you should ask first. If there is anything missing later, I will add it later."
Lin Yi did not reveal anything, and asked Zhou Hui He asked straight to the point: "Zhou Hui, where were you at the second watch last night?"
When Zhou Hui heard this, his cheeks twitched several times, and he quickly lowered his head, with a trace of emotion in his eyes. Terror and fear.
"I...I didn't go anywhere, just resting in the house."
"You lied!"
