The Golden Hairpin

Huang Zixia glanced at him: "How come?"

"Look, there are a lot of strange things! First, the deceased was lying face down and died by the water. The cause of death should be that someone caught his hair and choked to death in the water, but the deceased Bitao's hair, although some Scattered, but there is no trace of being caught."

Huang Zixia nodded.

Seeing that she did not refute, Zhou Ziqin was refreshed, and immediately went on to say the second doubt: "Second, the murderer who put her head in the water must be squatting or kneeling beside her, but she was at the time. Without any footprints, is that person squatting on her? How can this be used?"

Huang Zixia thought for a while, and asked, "Then what do you think is the next step?"

"I think, first of all, we should check everyone's shoes and clothes. If there is mud or wet, we should grab them and interrogate them. Men with more strength should focus on them."

Huang Zixian asked in return: "Didn't you say that there are no footprints at the scene?"

"Then... maybe there is some way to eliminate it?"

Huang Zixia squatted down, illuminating Bitao with the lantern in his hand, and rolled up her sleeve, pointed at her wrist, and asked, "Did you see these scars?"

Zhou Ziqin nodded and said, "It's probably because there is sand or stone in the silt, and it has been rubbed."

"Except for the traces of sand and stone?"

Zhou Zi Qin Zai took a closer look, then pointed to the slender scar that stretched from the wrist to the base of the index finger, and said, "This...it looks like it should be another."

Huang Zixian looked at him sideways, and motioned him to think again: "Speculate why there are such scars and how they were scratched?"

Zhou Ziqin let out a cry and said, "Someone took something off her wrist! It must have scratched her at that time."

"Um..." Huang Zixia nodded and asked again, "Is Bi Tao the second 箜篌 in your music class?"

The manager nodded immediately and said, "Exactly!"

"So, it is Yu Li who will play the second 箜篌 in place of Bi Tao tonight?"

"Yes, there are two 箜篌s in the neon clothes and feathers, and Bitao is the second one. There is no solo, but only for harmony, so we dare to let Yu Li replace it."

Huang Zixian turned his gaze to Bi Tao who was crying, and said slowly: "So, I think Miss Yu Li should talk about why she killed the master, what do you think?"

When she said suddenly, everyone in the music group was stunned. Yu Li even covered her face and cried bitterly. She cried out: "I...Why me? I was wronged..."

Zhou Ziqin was shocked. Turning his head to see Huang Zixian's expression on his face, he turned around Yu Li in doubt, and quietly came back to Huang Zixian's ear and asked: "Chonggu, did you read the wrong thing? Her clothes were dry. It's clean, there is no mud on the shoes, only the cuffs are a little muddy. Moreover, she is a circle smaller than Bi Tao, and her hands seem to have little strength, and there is no sign that she can hold the dead in the water!"

Without a word, Huang Zixia walked to Yu Li's side and stroked her sleeve.

Under the cuffs, there was an armband gold that had circled a full five or six times and was worn on her wrist.

Several music artists next to him suddenly called out, "This is Bi Tao's armband gold! She showed off to us a few days ago, saying that it was given to her by the gifted Chen Lunyun!"

Yu Li subconsciously put his armband gold in his arms, and everyone is staring at him, and they can only cry anxiously: "This...this is what the master lent me to wear..."

"Really? Your master is really kind to you. Not only did you disappear at such an important moment, but he also lent you the armband gold that someone else gave her-but he seemed to have forgotten one thing."

Huang Zixia's gaze turned to the head of the band: "Do your bands usually manage so loosely? Can you still wear bracelets when you play?"

The manager hurriedly said: "This...we are all made repeated orders. We have said when every musical instrument is just beginning to learn. When playing a plucked instrument, you are never allowed to wear jewelry, and when you play a musical instrument, you are never allowed to wear earrings Long hanging jewelry. So put it away before going on stage, so as not to affect the performance."

"Yes, if it's a bracelet or a bracelet, maybe you can hide it in your arms quietly. However, if you hold an armband gold in your arms, it will definitely protrude a large piece, and you will be caught immediately. People found out. What's more, the armband gold appeared in her hand just after her master died, wouldn't it prove that she was the murderer? So the only way is to wear it on her wrist. Fortunately, Push it up, and the sagging sleeves can block it, right?" Huang Zixia said, putting her hand down and saying, "So, you don’t care about the rule that you can’t wear all jewelry when playing. It’s because you can only hide this armband gold like this. Unfortunately, your luck is not so good, so you met King Kui, and when you were playing, you accidentally let the armband gold touch the string string and was heard by King Kui. arrive."

Li Shubai and the others have also arrived and are listening to her solution. At this time, they said: "Exactly. At that time, when the preface of the neon clothes was about to end, I heard the second ring with golden noise, and the girl Huang should also be from this. From guesswork."

The eyes of everyone looking at Li Shubai were suddenly full of amazement. The second piano was originally a harmony, not the lead player, and the sound is also hidden behind other music. Unexpectedly, he could tell which instrument made the abnormal noise only by this sound.

Some people looked at Huang Zixian admiringly, and they were able to quickly infer the murderer with only a few clues.

Someone in Leban said: "I remembered that when we were seated, we could not find Bitao. Yu Li ran to find it. After returning, she said that she could not find it. Drowned in the water?"

"But it's not right." The manager of the Lebanon was crying and asked, "Yu Li is such a petite, so why does she have such a lot of strength? Can she really drown Bi Tao in the water by herself, and then come back calmly? ?"

Yu Li nodded desperately and cried: "Yeah! I just envy the master's armband gold, so the master took it down and gave it to me. I...I just wore her armband gold, how could it be a murderer? The murderer?"

"Yeah, how can she kill a delicate woman like her? How can she quickly remove her own traces?" Zhou Ziqin also nodded and said, "Chonggu, should we be more careful and check again?"

"No need, I can repeat the situation at that time now." Huang Zixia said, took a look at Zhou Ziqin, and said, "Zhou catches the head, please help me find someone who is willing to cooperate."

Zhou Ziqin patted his chest: "I don't need others, I will do it."

Huang Zixia blinked and looked him up and down again. Zhou Ziqin was invited to spend the festive season today, so he did not wear a public uniform. He was dressed in a lake-blue silk brocade robe, embroidered with rose clusters, a yellow belt around his waist, and a purple sachet. Green purse, silver sharkskin knife... there are more than a dozen colors all over the body.

Huang Zixia suddenly felt that this person too needed to be pressed into the water and soaked well-it would be best if he could wash off the bright and dazzling color of his body.

"Come." She waved to him briefly, then took away the armband gold from Yu Li's wrist, and took Zhou Ziqin to the calamus field by the lake.

She motioned to Zhou Ziqin to raise her hand, and then said, "The weather is a bit cold. I wonder if it will be cold now in the water?"

Zhou Ziqin didn't understand what she meant, and only said: "The last time I helped you fish for a corpse in Chang'an, it should be colder than today... But am I going to fish for something now?"

"Wait a minute." She said, throwing away the gold in her hand, which happened to be in the shallow water. Although the armband gold sank halfway in the mud under the water, the depth of the water is only half a foot. Even under the light, it can be seen clearly by the reflection of the gold.

Zhou Ziqin looked at her in surprise and asked, "What is this for?"

Huang Zixia said, "Why don't you pick it up?"

Zhou Ziqin suddenly realized that he hurried to the middle of the calamus. Halfway through, he found that his feet were almost sinking into the ooze, so he hesitated again.

Huang Zixian looked back at Li Shubai, he knew, walked over and grabbed Zhou Ziqin's wrist and said, "I will hold you."

"Okay!" Zhou Ziqin immediately held his hand, stepped on the mud, leaned forward, and grabbed the bracelet in the water.

Huang Zixia winked at Li Shubai. Li Shubai glanced at the innocent Zhou Ziqin sympathetically, and then suddenly let go of his hand. Zhou Ziqin had originally leaned forward, but suddenly fell forward.

Zhou Ziqin was about to exclaim, mud water poured into his mouth. Just as he was throwing wildly, Li Shubai raised his ankle with both hands again, and he immediately lay face down in the mud. However, the ankle was grabbed and lifted, and he had lost all the strength of his body, and his hands were in the mud and there was nowhere to receive any force. Even if he could swim, it was useless. A large and small blisters popped out, and people were choked and confused.

Li Shubai hurriedly dragged him out. He had choked on several sip of water, and sat down among the calamus, spitting muddy water in a daze like a crab.

Huang Zixia took a towel for him, squatted aside to look at him, and asked, "Zi Qin, are you okay?"

He was wiping his hair, sneezing embarrassedly, and said, "It's... it's okay."

Can it actually be alright? Zhou Xu, the county guard next to him, looked at his son and almost cried. Just because the person who started the attack was King Kui, with a wry smile on his face, he instructed the people around him to say: "Hurry up and get your clothes and put on the head catchers."

Huang Zixia turned her head to look at Yu Li, she had collapsed to the ground. Huang Zixian slowly said, "It was the mud traces on your cuffs that reminded me of this killing technique. Although you will definitely try to scrape off the dried mud afterwards, there is still a faint trace, and this trace is just like The contours of her shoe edges are the same. Just imagine, why did you grab her feet?"

Yu Li's face is earthy, his throat is dry, **** ho can't speak.

Zhou Xu vented all his grievances on her, and the trap behind his life quickly pulled her up: "These people who have deceived their masters and destroyed their ancestors and lost their conscience, bring them back to me, and interrogate them!"

The Leban sisters looked at her, all in tears, and said: "Yu Li, why bother to think so..."

"Yes... God is unfair!" Yu Li was dragged away, screaming desperately, "What's the difference between me and her? She is so stupid, she is the second 箜篌 after ten years of learning! And I just watched by the side. She plays better than her! She just looks better than me, so why step on my head every day..."

Huang Zixia sighed lightly and said, "If you are a pearl, you will always be found brilliance, so why bother to be so extreme?"

Seeing her talking, the catchers who caught Yu Li stopped for a while. Yu Li’s gaze was fixed on Bi Tao’s body, tears fell down, and choked: "She... she bullies me every day, I can bear it, but she knows I admire Master Chen, and she deliberately pesters him every day. Show off in front of me the armband money he gave..."

Her gaze was covered with ashes, and she turned to Huang Zixia's face: "I...I had planned the matter over and over for months beforehand, and thought it must be foolproof...but I didn't expect that there are flaws everywhere in front of you. , Can be seen through at a glance..."

Huang Zixia was silent, watching the catchers lead her down.

Zhou Ziqin was behind her, while wiping her freshly washed hair, she sighed, "This girl really can't think of it."
