Zhengyang Village is not very far from Xiaozuo Village, and the forest between the two villages is not particularly large. If placed elsewhere, the forest may not be called a big forest.

However, this forest is larger than the other forests around Xiaozuo Village, so it is called the Big Wood by Shaoshan.

The roads in the woods are indeed hard to walk, and there are many stones. If you walk on the road at night when it is dark and a woman like Huang Meiyu walks, it may not be uncomfortable, but it is quite hard.

Seeing such a stone ground, Huang Wen and Huang Hu almost shed tears together. In such a difficult road, my sister will definitely suffer a lot, and maybe her legs and feet will be injured.

The kidnappers must have dragged their sister away, so they wouldn't have to carry her on their backs. And if they really wanted to carry Huang Meiyu on their backs, they would probably have to knock Huang Meiyu out. They would definitely be afraid that Huang Meiyu would struggle to call someone. So would Huang Meiyu's head be broken?

The Huang brothers just thought about this kind of thing and felt like they were about to cry.

Li Rizhi just walked around the woods for a short time and then returned to Xiaozuo Village.

When doing on-site investigation, the most important thing is to restore the scene of the crime at that time, so Li Rizhi must have to put the three kidnappers into the Zuo family's courtyard and then drag Huang Meiyu out. This process needs to be demonstrated again.

Li Rizhi personally brought people outside the fence wall. He looked carefully at the outer wall of the pigpen and checked the footprints on the outer wall.

There are six footprints on the exterior wall, which are divided into two types in terms of size. One is that the footprint is slightly larger and the other is slightly smaller.

These two kinds of footprints are footprints on the forefoot, but they can also be distinguished in size. The soil on the footprint belongs to the same place. Which place is it? You need to look for it later.

There are only two larger footprints, while there are as many as four smaller footprints.

This is actually very obvious. There are two people, one tall and one short. The taller person is probably at a normal height, but the shorter person is very strange.

In fact, the exterior wall of the Zuo family's pigpen is not very high. How high can the pigpen be built for the pig? Moreover, there are no pigs in the Zuo family's pigpen, it is an empty pigpen.

If a normal person wants to jump over the exterior wall of a pigpen like this, he just needs to support his hands on the top of the pigpen and push his feet on the wall, and then he can turn over to the top of the pigpen.

Although it is a bit unnecessary to say that you should go over the wall of the pigpen without climbing over the fence, it is a bit too much to steal chickens, and it is a bit suspicious of taking off your pants and farting.

However, since these two thieves left like this, they can only start to infer from outside the pigpen.

Li Rizhi pointed to a few small footprints on the outer wall of the pigpen and said to Cheng Zizai: "Can these be the footprints of children? How old is it?"

Cheng Zizai inferred in his heart, and then said, "If we judge from this footprint, it may be a child about 10 years old. But can a child about 10 years old kidnapped Huang Meiyu? Even if he is a thief's accomplice, this age is a bit too young!"

Li Rizhi then called Shao Shan over and asked him, "Are the three people you see very short, about the height of a child about ten years old?"

Shao Shan thought about it and was recalling his appearance carefully. After a moment, he said: "It seems that there is a person who is not tall, but not as tall as a ten-year-old child. The villain really dares not say it. Because the villain was a little far away from them at that time, and the short man did not come here, so the villain really dares not say how tall that person is!"

Li Rizhi didn't ask again, but from the distance between the footprints, he could roughly estimate that it was about the height of a ten-year-old child, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many footprints on the wall. It was obvious that he had climbed several times.

As the county magistrate, Li Rizhi certainly would not go to climb the wall of the pigpen himself. He asked two officers to climb the wall of the pigpen and then jump into the fence yard of the Zuo family.

Li Rizhi suddenly said, "You check the pigpen and see what's inside!"

The two officers immediately looked into the pigpen. The pigpen was not big, and it was quite clean inside and there was nothing.

In order to show off in front of the county magistrate, a servant actually got into the pigpen, but as soon as he entered, he shouted: "My magistrate, it seems that something has been buried in this place before, and it was dug out!"

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "I just knew it was like this. Why didn't the two thieves walk through the fence wall that was easier to enter instead of jumping in from the pigpen. This shows that they don't want others to know that they have come in. Maybe it's because they hide something in the pigpen in the Zuo family and don't want the people in the Zuo family to know!"

The officer crawled out of the pigpen and then said, "There is a pit inside. It is not very big, but it is as big as the mouth of the bowl, but it is very deep. After the arm is inserted, it cannot be reached. The soil next to the pit is still fresh and not completely dry. The pit is very round and it is as neat as the edge of the bowl. Even if I ask me to dig this hole, it is impossible to dig it out, so it is absolutely impossible to dig it out by a pig, and there are no pigs in the pigpen!"

Li Rizhi entered the fence courtyard, and he asked someone to take a lamp, holding it, and he leaned into the pigpen to check the deep hole.

I saw this deep hole, indeed very round, the hole was neat, really like the mouth of a bowl, and the depth was extremely deep. When I shine with an oil lamp, I couldn't see the bottom of the hole due to the angle.

He asked someone to take a wooden strip and lit it, throw it into the small hole. With the light of the fire, he saw that there was nothing in the small hole. The small hole was very deep, as deep as a half of the arm.

In such a small space as a pigpen, how could a person dig such a small and deep hole? It's hard to believe!

And what is the purpose of digging such a deep hole?

Is it just to hide things?

It is really incredible to dig such a perfect hole in the pigpen!

Li Rizhi came out of the pigpen, then called Zhu Cheng Zizai, and said, "You can go in and see what the small hole inside is used for, is it used to hide things or to grab things?

Could it be a trap?

I really can't think of what is such a small trap used to catch?"

Cheng Zizai agreed and got into the pigpen. After looking at the hole, he shouted from it: "This hole is definitely not used to catch things!

But it is not used to hide things, so I really can't guess this. What can I hide for such a small one?"

Cheng Zizai crawled out of the pigpen. He and Li Rizhi both shook their heads. This was considered to have encountered something they had never come into contact with. For people who know this kind of thing, it may be very simple. You can tell what they are doing by just a glance. But for outsiders like them, no matter how they guess, they can't guess it!
