Cui Xiaoliu finally said: "That's not right, sir, the little one doesn't know how to swim. If the little one is going to fall into the water with him, isn't the little one going to die? Why is the little one doing this?"

"Who said you can't swim? I believe you can swim. Although the water quality may not be very good, but when I dragged you from the other side of the water to this side of the water, you deliberately stayed still and let me

Drag you along. However, a person who can swim behaves differently in the water than a person who doesn't know how to swim. A person who doesn't know how to swim will drag you with greater strength even if he sinks, while a person who can't swim will drag you with more force.

The body of a person who knows how to swim will naturally float on the water, because he will subconsciously keep his body in a floating position."

"That's how you are, so I thought you were lying at that time, because you must know how to water. Although the water quality may not be very good, it is not like you said you don't know how to water at all. Of course, there is no difference in the water quality in floods.

What a big difference, because under floods, people who are good at water will actually be easily drowned."

Cui Xiaoliu immediately seemed to have caught an important piece of evidence. He nodded gratefully and said, "Yes, that's how I am. But you also said that it is true that water is good. Even if I know a little about water, I shouldn't take the initiative.

He jumped into the flood and put himself in danger just to drown him!"

"But you don't know how powerful the flood is. You think the flood is just ordinary water and don't care. You have water nature. You underestimate the flood because few people have swum in the flood. After all, floods are relatively rare. You

You must have never swum in a flood before. So you Yagen didn’t know that the flood was so dangerous, so you put yourself in a dangerous situation. Am I right?”

Cui Xiaoliu seemed to know that Qiu Wuhen was just a guess without any evidence, so he calmed down and said: "Sir, you are confusing me by going around and around. Anyway, I didn't kill him. Sir, you

You can’t accuse me unjustly. Although you are our prince’s sworn brother, if you accuse me so unjustly, the prince may not agree to it.”

Qiu Wuhen naturally knew what Cui Xiaoliu was thinking, so he chuckled and said: "What, you mean that you have some merit in the prince's palace, and the prince will indulge a murderer to protect you for your sake, even if you kill

Got someone."

Cui Xiaoliu finally raised his voice: "I didn't kill anyone."

Those words were spoken loudly, and people in the distance turned their heads when they heard the movement, including Zhu Qi.

Qiu Wuhen nodded: "If you and Gao Yang are talking about you, this may not be easy to verify. It is true. After all, the water has washed away a lot of evidence. It is also difficult to distinguish in that kind of chaotic situation. Did you deliberately put him?

It's really hard to tell whether he drowned or you were unable to save him. He drowned himself, so this proves that it is indeed a bit troublesome for you to intentionally kill someone."

When Cui Xiaoliu heard this, he nodded vigorously and said, "No, no, the villain means that the villain really didn't kill him. Sir, you misunderstood."

Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said: "Don't be too anxious to be happy. Even if I don't have evidence to prove whether you really killed Gao Yang, I can at least prove that you killed Jin Peng. I suspect that you were the one responsible for Jin Peng's death.

"

Cui Xiaoliu was taken aback. He subconsciously took another half step back and distanced himself. He said in a deep voice: "Master Qiu, you can't accuse me so unfairly. I don't even know this Jinpeng, why should I?"

Kill him?"

"You were hired to kill him."

"Who is it?"

"I still need you to tell me this, but now I need to prove that you are the murderer, the murderer who killed Master Jin Pengjin."

"How do you plan to prove it, sir?"

Qiu Wuhen suddenly reached out and said, "Please, put your hand on mine and I'll tell you."

Cui Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"

Qiu Wuhen smiled and stretched out his hand to Cui Xiaoliu, saying: "Let me tell you, I have a skill. I can judge whether a person is a murderer based on his fingerprints. I am probably the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who has this skill."

Yes, that's why your prince asked me to investigate this case, so you have to think carefully, if you are really the murderer, don't put your hand on my palm, otherwise you will fall into a trap."

Qiu Wuhen said these words in an understatement, but the words were full of threats, causing Cui Xiaoliu to have beads of sweat on his forehead, and his hands began to tremble a little. But in the end he still grinned and said

: "My lord, you are really good at joking. You are an official of the imperial court, not a fortune teller."

When Qiu Wuhen saw that he didn't stretch out his hand, he didn't put his hand down either. Everyone on the side looked over, but none of them passed.

"Wouldn't you know if he is a divine fortune teller if you try it?"

Cui Xiaoliu saw that Qiu Wuhen had no intention of retreating at all, and saw that everyone had turned their attention here. After thinking about it again and again, he could only place his palm gently on Qiu Wuhen's palm.

Qiu Wuhen immediately extracted the fingerprints and palmprints of his palm in his mind, and he said calmly: "Change your hand and put the other hand on my palm."

Cui Xiaoliu removed his hand, replaced it with another, and placed it on his palm.

After extracting the fingerprints of both hands, Qiu Wuhen smiled, looked at him meaningfully and said: "I just said, you have to think clearly, because I can extract the fingerprints of the murderer. Now I am sure

Tell you, you are the murderer, because your fingerprints are consistent with the fingerprints I extracted from the nanmu box. You put that wooden box on it. Tell me, where is the knife you used to cut off his head?

I guess you hid it nearby or took it with you."

"Because it was obviously a knife, dagger or something. You think the head was obviously cut off, and it was cut back and forth with a knife like a saw, instead of cutting it off with one knife. If the knife is found

, I can confirm that you are the murderer based on the blood stains extracted from the knife."

Cui Xiaoliu took another step back and said sternly: "Impossible, I don't know what the fingerprints are, and the Ming Dynasty's law does not say that fingerprints should be used as evidence! Of course, you are just slandering someone."

"Okay, it seems that you understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty to some extent. That's good. I like to deal with people who understand. What you just said is right. The Ming Dynasty did not use fingerprints as evidence, because the fingerprints were unified throughout the Ming Dynasty.

I am the only one who knows it, and all the sentencing officers don’t know about it, so they can’t use it as evidence to prove that you committed a crime. However, although it cannot be used as evidence of conviction, it can be used as evidence to solve the case.

The two pieces of evidence are different. I don’t need others to believe the evidence to solve the case, I just need to believe it, because I want to use it to identify the murderer and find evidence that is consistent with the violation of the law."

"I am not the murderer. Your Excellency cannot find such evidence."

"Really? Then let me tell you a little trick. The murderer used an internal technique to repeatedly hit the deceased on the head, which then caused massive bleeding on the deceased's head and shattered his brain. He died on the spot.

Let me ask, you should be practicing internal martial arts, right? You don’t need to answer me, I will just ask your companions."

Cui Xiaoliu immediately turned pale and weak, stared at Qiu Wuhen, and began to make fists.

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said, "What? Are you nervous? This has just begun, and I haven't finished my evidence yet."

Qiu Wuhen pointed to his boot: "I believe there is a dagger in your boot. This dagger may be the murder weapon for you. Strictly speaking, it is the murder weapon for you to dismember the body. You cut off his head,

Because the box was a little small, you had to cut off his head and put it in his arms to fit it into the box, so you cut off his head, which left you with evidence of further murders.

,Give me the knife."

Cui Xiaoliu gritted his teeth and stared at Qiu Wuhen without making a move.

Qiu Wuhen said: "You are so scared, aren't you trying to hide it? It's useless. In fact, there is no need to be afraid, because when you fell into the water, your whole body fell into the water. After such a long time, the water must have cut your dagger.

All the blood stains on the knife have been washed clean, and I also believe that you have cleaned the knife before, right? Then what are you afraid of? I just tested you to see if you really dare to

You gave me the knife, but you were fooled, and you didn't give me the knife, which proved my suspicion."

Cui Xiaoliu gritted his teeth: "Sir, are you trying to seduce me on purpose?"

"If people don't know, unless they do nothing, this is still one of the pieces of evidence. There is another piece of evidence that I believe is fatal. Do you want me to tell you about it?"

Cui Xiaoliu looked around.

Qiu Wuhen said: "What's the matter? It's useless to look for an escape route. You can't run away from me, really. Although you are a master of Kung Fu, you can't run away from me, so you must not run away, let alone you.

Where can I run to?"

"I don't want to chase you at all, because the government just wants to set up a dragnet. Unless you hide in a mouse hole in the deep mountains and forests for the rest of your life, otherwise they will arrest you as soon as you show up. From now on, you will be in panic all day long, and you will be on the run. It's better to confess honestly, maybe.

Tell me who is the murderer behind your scenes. I believe you are not the mastermind, but there are others behind you. If you can tell them, you may be able to make meritorious deeds, and the prince may be able to grant you some leniency. This is your only way out."

Cui Xiaoliu gritted his teeth again and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, sir?"

"Does this mean that you have made up your mind to fight to the end? Okay, I will present the most important piece of evidence, and I believe you will agree with my judgment."

"What evidence?"

"Three nights ago, you must have disappeared. Because you wanted to kill someone, hide the body in this cave, and then go back. So I believe you must not have been in the inn three days ago, and if you were not in the inn, you must have

It can be found out."

Cui Xiaoliu smiled: "We each have a room, how do you check?"

Qiu Wuhen smiled meaningfully and stared at him. Cui Xiaoliu suddenly realized that he had been fooled again. By answering like this, he was not telling the other party that he was not afraid of investigation because he lived alone and could run out alone if he had the chance.
