Chapter 41: Deadlocked
The suicide of the mute man made the case even more complicated, and Li Yiting retried Zhang Jin, Zhang Kun, Xun Yuanchun and others, this time focusing on their relationship with the mute.
The answer has hardly changed, Zhang Jin was blackened, Zhang Kun has hardly dealt with the mute, as for Xun Yuanchun, he said that he had only heard of this person, because the reputation of the mute is quite big, and it is a bad reputation.
As soon as the mute man died, the case seemed to stop at the theft, and had nothing to do with the murder.
If it is possible to find a breakthrough, it may be left in the dark, but this person is in the city, and he is deliberately hidden, and he may not be able to find it for a while.
In other words, after being busy for so long, Beiting only found the statue of Guanyin, which made everyone somewhat frustrated, but at this point, they still went to Li Qiwen's grave first, opened the wooden coffin with the statue, took out the statue of Guanyin buried with the body, and returned it to the new temple Zhu Luo Ming.
The statue of the god of Luoshui Village returned to Zhao, so that the villagers of Luoshui Village settled down a little, and more or less diluted the shadow of some murder, mainly because many people still think that the Li brothers were cursed by God, not man-made, this superstitious psychology on the one hand caused extreme fear in people's hearts, on the other hand, it made everyone more numb to death.
Li Village continues to circulate rumors of the Five Elements of Heavenly Punishment, and this rumor seems to continue to spread to the entire Luoshui Village, with false rumors, even more noses and eyes, and even some people swear that when Li Qiwen and Li Qiumao died, they found that the sky was abnormal, and there had been Erlang God and the like in the sky, which made Beiting laugh and helpless.
Chen Tianyu instructed everyone to be calm and not impatient, wait and see what happens before they find any other signs of murder, firmly control the thieves, and at the same time limit Li Fuqi's movements, wait for the news of the opening of the road leading to the city, and once it is opened to traffic, immediately send these people to the police station, apply for a re-investigation of the scene, and re-open the investigation.
For now, this is the safest way to go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Time passed quietly, in a blink of an eye, the time has come to the ninth day of the first month, Qiuxi told everyone that due to the slowing down of the rain, the construction team has cleared the road overnight, and it is expected that it will be opened to traffic in two or three days, which makes everyone feel refreshed and the tension is finally slightly relieved.
The entire Luoshui Village was very calm, and the relatives of several criminal suspects did not move, and they seemed to be completely unconcerned about the lives of these people, which also saved Beiting a lot of trouble.
The same is true of Li Village, after the people buried Li Qiumao, they began to be busy, preparing for the lantern dance activities from the ninth to the eleventh day of the first month, the lantern dance is the same nature as the dragon dance, which belongs to a more important custom in the Spring Festival, and has been valued by the villagers over the years, and this year is especially grand, probably they want to take advantage of this to rush away from bad luck and avoid being immersed in the atmosphere of sadness and terror all the time.
Humans are very psychologically repairing creatures, which is prominently reflected in the aspect of distraction.
Wan Yongkun was injured, and the work of guarding the suspect could only be handed over to Kuangsuo, and the logistics support was still in charge of Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue.
Once people are idle, the injury often becomes more serious, Wan Yongkun is like this, he is lying on the bed humming and chirping, very painful, and shouting when changing the dressing, which makes people laugh, this brave man, still goes his own way, venting the pain of skin and flesh to his heart's content.
The injury is gradually recovering, and it is obviously no major problem.
In the past few days, Chen Tianyu and Li Yiting have met frequently to study the loopholes in the investigation process, but they have no clue. They also verified the physical evidence, and basically determined that the owner of the buttons and tool kits was Li Fuqi, and the verification of the physical evidence was carried out quietly at Li Fuqi's home, which had no one in his house, and the layout was simple, and the investigation was very easy.
They searched Xun Yuanchun's house again, and accidentally discovered the secret of this person pretending to be a ghost, it turned out that the levitation technique was extremely boring, that is, the use of hidden lines that are not easy to find with the naked eye, the object was raised, and some lifting mechanisms were installed on the roof, the biggest mystery of this trick lies in the grasp of light, when people enter Xun Yuanchun's house, it is often dark, even if he lights a candle, it is also a local lighting, and it attracts people's eyes to the light, similar to the method of blinding the eyes, and it is even more impossible to find the existence of hidden lines.
Of course, Xun Yuanchun is indispensable to scare, coerce, and pretend to be ghosts, forming a set of fraud methods, coupled with cheap props such as incense burners, yellow table paper, and turtle shells, which can flourish overnight, and wealth can be obtained at your fingertips.
is just such an ordinary set of tricks, which has deceived the villagers of the entire Luoshui Village for decades, and willingly and religiously dedicated the already scarce food and property to the gods, which made the two sigh, imagine how many such gods are there in the countryside, and they are abducted?
Therefore, it is indeed imperative for the state to severely crack down on superstitious activities in rural areas, and of course, there is still an essential difference between superstition and customs, and customs and habits are more of a kind of spiritual sustenance, so they can be preserved to varying degrees.
On the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Qiwen's adopted son Li Futang led his daughter-in-law back to the village, which surprised the people in the village, maybe it was his father's new death, or maybe Li Futang felt guilty, anyway, after he came back, Li Qiwen came out of the uninhabited house for the first time with warm cooking smoke.
Li Yiting also made a special trip to visit, on the one hand, the two were cousins after all, and on the other hand, he wanted to find out why Li Futang had not returned to the village for so many years. After some rounding, Li Yiting was also quite surprised, Li Futang did not return to the village was arranged by the third uncle, a long time ago, Li Qiwen seemed to have a premonition that something would happen to Li Village, so he would rather let Li Futang suffer in the city and make a living independently, if it weren't for the strong and domineering daughter-in-law Li Futang found, Li Futang would never be so indifferent.
This gave Li Yiting a deeper understanding of Chen Tianyu's judgment, and he visited several uncles and brothers one after another, and the situation was almost the same, except for the uncle's son Li Fuyi, who honestly farmed at home, and sent his children to the city if he had the slightest conditions, no matter how difficult it was, he would not let them come back easily.
On the way back, Li Yiting couldn't help but think of the cold fish intestine sword, which may not be an artifact but a murder weapon, and regardless of the value, with the development of the times, the cultural relics are no longer mysterious, and the guardians chose to avoid danger without knowing it, so as not to cause disaster to their descendants, which is also forgivable.
After thinking about it several times, Li Yiting slowly made an immature decision.
But if you really want to implement it, I'm afraid you have to go through the difficulty of uncle.
Let's wait for the dust to settle on the case, Li Yiting thought to himself.
