After placing the broken door bolt, Li Yi turned around the inside of the house again.

The things in the room were very messy, with signs of being violently turned over, and there were many official documents scattered on the ground.

Li Yi took the official document and glanced at it a few times. The writing was messy and had no reference value.

The table where Zhang Yun was lying was also very messy, and there was a large pool of black blood on it.

Li Yi walked to Gan Ci and asked in a low voice: "Aci, can you tell the cause of death and the time of death?"

Gan Ci nodded slightly, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead: "The deceased was penetrated by a sharp brush from behind and his throat was broken.

It was initially determined that the deceased should have died in an instant, and there was no chance of shouting or resisting.

When it comes to death, the degree of stiffness of the corpse and the condition of the corpse spots were almost the same as last night."

"Can you be more accurate at midnight?" Li Yi asked.

Gan Ci shook her head: "I can't do it."

Li Yi pursed his lips. The last time that Zhao County Magistrates and the other two saw Zhang Yun was at the 19th hour of the night (21 to 23:00), and at one o'clock in the afternoon (23:05), when Manager Wan went to deliver water to Lord Zhang Yun, he found through the window paper that Zhang Yun was still lying on the desk to work.

It seems that the deceased may have died after a moment of midnight?

Li Yi asked Gan Ci again: "Have you taken out the weapon?"

Gan Ci used a rough burlap to hold the broken brush into several pieces and held it over with both hands.

Li Yi looked carefully and then touched it through the linen. The tail of the brush was very sharp, the tube was hard, and the tip of the brush was not stained with blood. The black thing on it was dry ink.

It is not difficult to pierce the skin with this pen, but it is not easy to penetrate the neck and smash the spine.

This is true. After the brush penetrates the neck, it breaks in it.

"Ayi, do you have any ideas?" Gan Ci looked at Li Yi expectantly.

Li Yi walked back to the table and nodded slightly: "The house has been turned upside down, so someone must be looking for something here.

There are fresh ink marks left on the pen holder on the table, which proves that there was originally a pen on it, and it should be this weapon.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the murderer will kill people not premeditated, but impulsively.

The blood was only near the table, indicating that the body had not been moved. The deceased was pierced through the back of his neck while working at the desk.

The deceased's treatment of the murderer was a manifestation of revealing his back. This shows that the deceased trusts the murderer and at least believes that the murderer is impossible to kill himself.

In addition, the average person does not have the strength to penetrate the pen through a person's neck, which shows that the murderer's wrist strength is quite good. He takes action steadily and accurately, and he should be very confident in his ability to kill himself with one move."

Gan Ci suddenly realized after hearing this: "Ayi, you are so awesome. You have analyzed so many things from these trivial things!"

Li Yi sighed: "But there are still many suspicious points that I can't analyze. For example, the murderer's motive, the relationship between the murderer and the deceased, how did the murderer escape from the secret room..."

"What should we do next?" Gan Ci asked.

Li Yi held his chin and said slowly: "Aci, can you test the poison for the deceased? If the deceased was infected with drugs such as Mafei San and then was merciless by the murderer to commit the crime, it would greatly interfere with the direction of solving the case."

Gan Ci nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."

Li Yi left the door and asked a yamen guarding the door: "Brother, where is the shopkeeper Wan of the Zhuangyuan Building now?"

This big brother is familiar with Li Yi and has been to his shop to eat stinky tofu. He has a good impression of Li Yi.

He actively cooperated and said: "Shopkeeper Wan is now in the outermost room on the fourth floor. Zhao County Wei said that he had the possibility of committing the crime and prohibited him from going out. The house he is now in is exactly the farthest from the house where the murder occurred."

"Thank you."

Li Yi thanked him and quickly walked towards the room where Manager Wan was.

Knocking at the door, Li Yi asked, "Is the shopkeeper Wan inside?"

A panic sound came from inside the house: "Yes, yes."

Li Yi said again: "I am hereby order from the county magistrate to ask about the situation of the murder case of the adult. Open the door quickly."

There was another panic sound of footsteps and a chair tripping in the room. After a while, the door was opened and a fat man with big ears and messy beard opened.

"Your Excellency, what do you want to ask?" Manager Wan's original expression was a little respectful, but seeing that Li Yi was just a young man of seventeen or eighteen, he immediately felt contemptuous.

Seeing that Manager Wan's fat body blocked the door tightly, Li Yi snorted: "Can you go into the house and talk? Some words are not convenient to be made public."

Manager Wan's hair was messy, and I thought he was very worried about a big man dying in his inn. When he looked at Li Yi with blood-filled tired eyes, he was very alert.

He looked up at the servants in the corridor, and saw that the servants did not deny Li Yi's statement, so he nodded slowly.

Manager Wan’s house was not neat. There was a chair close to the door. It was probably because he accidentally kicked it down when he came to open the door just now.

Li Yi tentatively comforted him: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to panic. I'm just asking questions on a routine basis, and I don't mean to see the shopkeeper's responsibility."

Manager Wan's tense body really relaxed. He waved to Li Yi to sit down and cooperated and said, "I wonder what you have to ask?"

Li Yi thought for a while and asked, "Last night, Lord Zhang and the three adults discussed the important matters together. When did it end?"

Manager Wan said, "It's probably the hour of Hai."

"Can you be more specific?"

Manager Wan thought for a while and said, "It was almost three to four hours of Hai. Lord Zhang found me at that time and told me to change him a pot of hot tea at one moment. He would work overnight."

Li Yi nodded slightly: "Then you went to Lord Zhang's house at once?"

"Go."

Li Yi asked, "Then did you see Lord Zhang working in the house with your own eyes?"

Manager Wan said, "I knocked on the door, but no one responded. But the oil lamp in the house was on, and you could see Lord Zhang lying on the desk through the window paper.

I was afraid that speaking loudly would disturb him, so I was punished by him, so I put the hot tea outside the door and left in a hurry."

Li Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zhang Yun's death was lying on the desk. After hearing what Manager Wan said, at a moment, he saw Zhang Yun lying on the desk.

So, maybe Zhang Yun was already dead when Manager Wan arrived?

Li Yi thought for a while and asked again: "Where did you go after delivering tea last night?"

Manager Wan said, "After delivering the tea, I went back to this room so that these adults can find me immediately if they have any instructions."

Li Yi asked again: "Mr. Zhang's house is at the innermost side, your house is at the outermost side, where is the other three adults' house?"

Manager Wan was suddenly shocked: "Do you suspect that the three adults were harmed?"

Li Yi glanced at Manager Wan: "Just ask casually, you can just answer truthfully."
