Chapter 169 Ghost handwriting

It will heat up quickly when encountering water, only lime. Ximen Qing learned this from other boys when he was a child. Sprinkle other people's eyes with lime. Once the other party doesn't know why, rinse them with water, and their eyes will be quickly burned blind. Ximenqing saw those children tease adults in this way, but at that time, he did not dare to see the result and left.

There is lime in the bag, what does this mean... It seems that part of the question has been broken by myself, but what's the use of this clue that has been solved? Lime, lime, where have I been exposed to lime in the past two days? Ximen Qing carefully thought about what he had experienced again, and then he thought of it.

Yes, those words are written in lime. Whether it is the words behind Wu Da in the rumors or the information he saw on the saddle today, they are all written in lime. But what do you want to do with a small bag of lime? Is it possible for me to go out to write with this lime? There is no writing tool to write like this. What's more, the bag is extremely tough and can't be opened at all. Ximenqing thought helplessly. At this time, Ximenqing regretted a little. When he was a teenager, he always listened to others read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. At that time, he didn't care about this, but now he suddenly felt that he had too little knowledge and really couldn't do it. After the end of the matter, if you can survive, you must go out more and see more.

Although the bag was still hot, Ximen Qing's hand had adapted to it a little, and he put the bag in his hand uneasily. It's winter, and this bag is like a hand stove, warming Ximenqing's cold hands because of tension.

For the lime in the bag, Ximenqing felt that even if he was still thinking about it, he would not understand the mystery of it. Why not take this to the Water Pavilion? Maybe there will be other gains. Thinking of this, Ximenqing held the cloth bag in his hand and stood up and walked out. In his mind, the clerk may come out and ask once or twice. Ximenqing also wanted to see if the other party could really let him go.

However, the imaginary sound did not appear, and Ximen Qing went straight out of the door and came to the West Street. It was already dark, and the shops hung their own lanterns, and the whole West Street looked very bright.

Don't the woman care about the extent of the bag? He didn't even let the guy come and ask. With this idea, Ximen Qing walked into a sedan chair parked on the roadside. When the sedan chair saw Ximen Qing's arrival, he naturally greeted him warmly and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ximenqing looked left and right. Now there are many people on the West Street, and the destination may not be very good here. Let's make one out first, and then we'll get on the sedan chair. Oh, go to the Osmanthus Building." Ximen Qing didn't understand why the name suddenly popped up in his mind.

After saying that, he stepped on the sedan chair, and the two sedan chairman shouted in unison, and the sedan chair was lifted up. Ximenqing has been watching the movement of the sedan chair through the sedan chair window. When he found that the sedan chair had reached the cross street, he opened the curtain and said to the sedan chair man, "I won't go to the Osmanthus Building. I want to go to Rouge Lane. Let's turn around."

From Cross Street to the south, take Zishi Street to Rouge Lane is actually a long way, but the job of carrying the sedan is to collect money by looking at the route, so the two sedan chair men did not show any dissatisfaction, but immediately turned south and ran all the way to Rouge Lane. When choosing a sedan chair, Ximenqing specially chose an ordinary sedan chair. As long as this kind of sedan chair goes to the Rouge Lane, it will integrate into the flow of people and is difficult to find. If there is a stalking behind it, you won't be afraid. It is hard to imagine that the woman could accurately say that today's investigation involved lime.

You know, lime was also told by Wang An in the afternoon, and it was just a rumor at that time. As for the handwriting on the saddle, it happened shortly before I walked into the Xijiang Tea House. How can the news of your lady be so well-informed? The matter of lime is more detailed by me and Wang An. Li Qiang and the rest of the staff may know a little, but they will not know the most complete information. Is it... Wang An betrayed me? Ximen Qing, who had this idea, couldn't help clenching his fist until he felt his nails tingling in the palm of his hand, and gradually relaxed. It should not be Wang An. He has no reason to do so. After all, he is the person selected by the original pharmacy shopkeeper. Such a person should not be so easy to be bought. Moreover, Wang An is very shrewd. If the news leaks from him, he will definitely let more people know about the lime under my eyes in advance. In that case, once it is revealed, nothing will be able to find out. Yes, it won't be Wang An.

Ximenqing took reassurance pills for himself, which also eased his emotions.

Speaking of which, there was a word behind Wuhan University that day and returned to the Osmanthus Tower from the south of the city. Although he was riding a sedan chair all the way, the sedan chair went straight to the door of the Osmanthus Tower. From the door to the Osmanthus Tower, there may be no one on the street. However, at this stage when Wuhan University took the sedan chair from the south of the city, there were other witnesses on the street. Of course, if the lights on the street at that time were not viewed very closely, it would have been difficult to see what the word was. Since Wang An can learn the information from the sedan chair, perhaps the lady has also learned that the lime hint she sent to me does not have to come from the inside of the Siemens pharmacy. Yes, only this statement is the most reasonable.

Suddenly, a flashed in Ximen Qing's mind. He felt that he seemed to think of the key to the problem. The erratic clue was like a mouse running around in a rice barn, which was elusive. Ximen Qing rubbed his face twice to calm himself down, accompanied by a deep breath, or repeated the thought just now. This time, he pinched the mouse's tail in a fleeting moment.

If the text that appeared on the saddle was written by the woman who chatted with the clerk, attracted his attention, and then wrote it unprepared. This statement can be explained. After all, when beauty is in front, people's attention is always unfocused. For this, Ximen Qing has very sufficient life experience.

However, this time at night, Wu Dalang absolutely doesn't make sense. Because writing is to see with your eyes. In the night, even if there is moonlight and you want to write small words neatly, you have to require the writer to have cat-like vision, but obviously, the more restrictions on an action, the more difficult it is to achieve. Therefore, it is very likely that the words written on the back and saddle of Wuhan University were not written on the spot.

is not written on the spot, which means that you must be prepared in advance, but how can the prepared words appear in the form of white ash? Ximenqing's thinking fell into a deadlock again. As he thought about it, he patted the cloth bag from his left hand to his right hand and from his right hand to his left hand. The cloth bag is still hot, but this kind of warmth in the sedan chair is not as fierce as in the Xijiang Tea House. After taking turns to warm up dozens of times, Ximen Qing suddenly smiled.

Yes, the puzzle has been solved. Simon Qing finally understood the intention of the lady. She gave herself this bag to explain to herself the most incomprehensible part of all events - writing. In fact, the reason is very simple. As long as you prepare a similar cloth bag, put lime in it, and then use a needle or sword to pick out a small hole on the side of the cloth bag. When you need to write, as long as you shoot the cloth bag with a small hole to the place where you want to write, the lime will be sprayed on the object along the hole. It forms that kind of neat and weird text.

It turns out that the ghost legend is just such a simple trick. Ximenqing, who thought through the joints, patted his head and felt ridiculous about the assumptions he had made and the writers. In this world, there are not so many masters, how can there be so many superpowers, and most things, as long as you think about them carefully, the mystery will be revealed. This is like a trick on the stage, which looks extremely mysterious, but as long as you know the method, any audience will scoff at it.

It couldn't be easier to write on Wu Da's back. Through the scabbard of the knife and the words on the tree, as well as the direction where the knife was discarded, Li Qiang's analysis should be correct. At that time, in addition to the murderer and the deceased, there was a third person at the scene. It was the third person who gave the dagger to the deceased. Since the third person can give the dagger to the deceased, he can also hand the prepared cloth bag to the deceased to let the deceased pat at will.

At that time, it was night. After killing people, the murderer may be in a panic and the scene was chaotic. In the case of only moonlight lighting, it was normal for the murderer not to find the cloth bag. The cloth bag may have been left at the scene when the deceased died. Of course, the third person in the woods must have taken it away later, which made how to write with lime a mystery. This third person is not a foreign master. On the contrary, he may be cowardly and timid. No, maybe not him, it should be her, the woman who appeared by the woods this afternoon may be what I'm looking for. She should be helpless, and only such a helpless woman will think of hiding in a dark place to show her great sin in this way. Thinking of this, Ximenqing has completely identified that the person who killed the brothel in the woods was Wuda. However, a brothel, a dog-like thing, can completely escape pursuit and sanctions by killing such a person as the current martial arts university. But why did Wuhan University kill people? After killing, he robbed the little man's money. There was only one possibility, that is, he had no money. How could Wu Da have no money? His arms must be full of money, unless he left the money behind. Yes, Wang An told me that when Wu Da returned to Guihua Building in a sedan chair, he was wearing a subordinate's clothes, which made it make. Wu Da left money when he returned the clothes, so he robbed money by the way after killing people.

There are also footprints on the body, which is reasonable now. If it is really the person in the Mochou Hall, his shoes may also be glued with blood. He changed his shoes by the way, but he is a dwarf, and the shoes on his feet are not common. He is likely to wear a pair of slightly larger shoes, and when the feet in these shoes kick the body, there will be that kind of comparison. Usually, Wuda's slightly large footprints.

Ximenqing felt comfortable. He felt that there was no more perfect explanation than this. In the afternoon, there were all kinds of clues that could refute that Wu Da was the murderer. Now, it just proved that Wu Da was the murderer. However, the conviction cannot only rely on this inference. There must be true evidence, which Ximen Qing knows.

"Outside from Ximen, we have arrived at Rouge Lane. Where shall we go?" The sedan chairman asked through the curtain.

"Oh, just press the sedan chair here. I'll go in and pick it myself. I won't bother you." Ximenqing still doesn't want more people to know that they have gone to Shuixie Pavilion. He can't let the sedan chair master the news because of greed. Sedan, they should be the people with the most news in Yanggu County. They walk around, and they will talk to each other and talk about today's new things. Many things are spread out through their mouths, and their existence must not be despised.

This time, the sedan chair did not stop talking like Ximen Qing recommending a brothel. Ximen Qing felt comfortable, but he also felt that something was missing. It seems that the impact of this accident in Mochou Hall is still not small, and even the sedan chair has become mute, which is really a good thing for those who come here to have fun. It's just a pity that today I came to Rouge Lane, no longer looking for fun, but to find the truth of the matter.

When getting off the sedan chair, Ximen Qing took out a small piece of silver, threw it to the sedan chair, and then walked into the Rouge Lane. When he walked around a corner, he turned around and looked at the two sedan chairs. They did not enter the Rouge Lane, but raised the sedan chair and returned to the same road. This is very unconventional. Generally speaking, the sedan chairman who carries guests to Rouge Lane will wait here, because there will always be some fast-to-do things, who use up everything at this time and need to go home in a sedan chair. In this way, it's not a waste to go so far to make a sum of money back and forth.

However, these two sedans have left, and combined with the details of not recommending a brothel to themselves just now, these two people are probably not real sedans. If they are not sedan chairs, who will they be? This answer is obvious. Ximen Qing smiled slightly. He was in a sedan chair in front of the Xijiang Tea House, and the sedan chairman had an inexorable relationship with the lady. It seems that the money just gave me the injustice. I can't give them any money and ask them to take me to say hello to my wife.

Ximenqing did not feel irritable because of the surveillance that had just been detected. On the contrary, he repeatedly reminded himself that he should get used to this kind of life. At least for now, the lady is on her side, and she even helps her solve the most "mysterious" writing method. For temporary allies, excessive anxiety is unnecessary. Besides, anxiety does not solve any problems.

Ximenqing stood on Rouge Lane, which was once the most familiar place for him. The ruins of Mochou Hall are still there, and the burned wreckage has not been transported away. He can even see some deliberately people wandering back and forth on the ruins in the night. Ximen Qing knew that they were looking for valuable things. In the brothels after the fire, there would always be some treasures that withstood the purification of the flames and were picked up by these seekers.

Shuixie Pavilion is not far from the Mochou Pavilion. Standing at the west gate of the Shuixie Pavilion, Ximenqing found that as long as he walked a few steps, he could see the panoramic view of the ruins of Mochou Hall. That is to say, when there was a fire that night, it was very simple to come out of the Shuixie Pavilion to watch the excitement. It doesn't make sense to think about this. Let's talk about it after entering the pavilion.

However, how should I get in? It was a little difficult for Ximen Qing to stand at the door. He knows too much about coming to a brothel. It's nothing more than choosing a girl to do things. But there is no chance to inquire about things. The bitch is ruthless and righteous. If you want to hear some truth from them, you are bound to ascend to the sky. As a veteran in the wind and moon field, Ximen Qing has long developed the ability not to take the words of love between men and women seriously. However, if you don't find a girl when you enter the Mochou Museum, the madam won't even look at you and directly kick you out. Poor people are not welcome in the brothel. In a sense, brothels do not welcome anyone, they only welcome silver.

Yes, silver, I have silver. Ximen Qing touched his pocket, and there were still more than 30 taels left. This silver is enough to buy news. It's just that you can't ask prostitutes. It's no use asking them. Then ask the pream? This is not of much significance. The old girl should be the busiest at this time. Even if they reluctantly answer questions for the face of silver, the content of the answer will deal with it and lack substance. And thirty taels of silver will not shine so much in the eyes of the old girl.

I should ask... Ximen Qing repeatedly thought about the main personnel of the brothel, and finally he found the role he should buy - the big teapot. The big teapot can be said to be the most familiar with brothels. They have dealings with prostitutes, madams, guests, minibusters, guys, and even brothel thres. Their status is low, and ordinary people will not look at them with their eyes. However, as long as there is anything in the brothel, none of this can escape the eyes of the big teapot.

What should I ask the big teapot? I asked him if you have a woman who likes to play with lime? This question is so weird that it will definitely be regarded as a madman. By the way, the dead in the woods are wearing the clothes of the water pavilion, most of which are the little ones here. I asked the big teapot if any little ones in the water pavilion have been missing in the past two days. In this case, there must be clues.

Ximenqing, who figured it out, tidied up his clothes and walked into the pavilion. He would never believe that one day he would look for a man in a brothel, which was really an irony for Ximen Qing, who was well-known in the wind and moon field.
