Chapter 39: The Village Murder Case
To tell the truth, although I am a normal man, my heart is also broken when I see this situation.
I lay in the middle and woke up but didn't even dare to move, and closed my eyes again, as soon as I closed my eyes, Teacher Tang woke up, she naturally got up and put on her clothes, and during the whole process, I half-squinted and watched her change clothes, this picture was so beautiful, I didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Then Zhang Xiaoxian also woke up, her expression was surprised, like stepping on dog shit barefoot, especially when she saw me lying next to her in an unobstructed view, and her current ** posture, it is estimated that she even wants to die now.
Zhang Xiaoxian got up in annoyance, put on her clothes and ran out, and when they were both done, I got up pretending that there was nothing wrong, got dressed, packed my backpack and walked out.
"Let's have something to eat!" I took out the bread and milk from my backpack, but luckily the bread was wrapped and hadn't been soaked by the heavy rain last night.
Teacher Tang took the bread very happily and ate it, Zhang Xiaoxian dodged when she saw me, looking like she had something on her mind, probably still worried about yesterday's events, and I didn't know whether to explain to her.
After thinking about it, forget it, I'm a stupid person sometimes, if I offend her with any word, it's miserable, and it's no wonder if she doesn't tear me apart with her temperament?
We walked for about a morning, and finally returned to that familiar and vague place, Zhang Xiaoxian's hometown and me, but I have no relatives here.
The houses in the village are one-story mud houses, the lower part is made of stone and the upper part is made of mud, and the conditions here are limited, and this is the case for every household.
It's the same as when I was a child, basically nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is that there are fewer people, we passed by several families that are seventy or eighty old people at home, and we can't see a young person at all.
These old people look at us like strangers, it is estimated that they have not seen young people for a long time, everyone is very kind, and they all show the most simple smile when they see us.
And now Zhang Xiaoxian is already too excited, because two more households are her grandparents' house, Zhang Xiaoxian is carrying something in her hand to give the old man a surprise, although it has been many years since I saw it, but in Zhang Xiaoxian's heart, there have been two old people.
Approaching the yard, there were some chickens and ducks, and in the middle of the yard there was a table made of stone, and there was some tea on it, and the tea was still hot.
Zhang Xiaoxian ran into the house, full of joy, and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back, Xiaoxian has come to see you......"
I can feel Zhang Xiaoxian's heart, the family affection that blood is thicker than water, and Teacher Tang and I are also happy for her.
And just when we were all very happy, Zhang Xiaoxian, who was standing at the door, stopped abruptly, and the whole person stood there with a clatter, and the things in her hands fell to the ground with a bang.
What is the situation, shouldn't you be happy to see your relatives? Normal situations usually rush over and kneel in front of the old man and shed tears happily, Zhang Xiaoxian is quite special and does not dare to go in.
Teacher Tang and I also walked over, and when we looked at the two old people in the room lying in a pool of blood on the ground, the smiles disappeared from our faces in an instant, and we became the same as Zhang Xiaoxian.
After Zhang Xiaoxian reacted, she threw herself at the bodies of the two old men, knelt in front of them and cried bitterly.
"Grandpa, grandma, wake up! I'm Xiaoxian, it's me! What's wrong with you? What's going on?" Zhang Xiaoxian cried so sadly and desperately, who did such a vicious attack, and even hundreds of old people didn't let go.
And Zhang Xiaoxian's grandmother is still blind and can't see anything, does she have to annihilate humanity to such a heinous point?
Teacher Tang and I stood there at a loss, and I looked at the room, which was turned into a mess, and it was estimated that the murderer was looking for something.
The two old men are not rich, it can be ruled out that they are seeking money, if so, I probably know who did it, and the gang still found here.
"Xiaoxian, don't cry, people can't live when they die, let's mourn!" I patted Zhang Xiaoxian's shoulder, although it was useless to say this.
Zhang Xiaoxian can not listen to these now, crying pear blossoms with rain, and at this time, the courtyard suddenly became lively outside, I looked outside and found that a group of people came into the house with hoes in their hands.
"Patriarch, I heard someone shouting for help just now, it seems to be the old Tang family. ”
"Patriarch, the murderer is still inside. ”
"Don't let the murderer run away, everyone......"
It's over, most of them mean that they regard us as murderers, and Zhang Xiaoxian hasn't come back for many years, and the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, these people may not be able to recognize it, if this is the case, it will be troublesome.
"Don't move...... is led by a man who looks to be fifty or sixty years old, and everyone calls him the patriarch.
We were surrounded by a group of old men, Zhang Xiaoxian knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, I looked at Teacher Tang: "What now?"
"What can I do? I can only see what they do first? If there is a misunderstanding, it will be explained clearly, they are all old people, do you still do it with them!" I think Mr. Tang has a point.
"Tie up all the people to me and take them to the ancestral hall. "At the patriarch's order, a group of people surrounded us, tied us up with ropes, and took us to the ancestral hall in their mouths.
The patriarch sat high in the center of the ancestral hall, and there were some old men with white hairs sitting on both sides, and some were standing, in short, we were surrounded by a group of old men.
"Say, why kill people. The patriarch said.
"We didn't kill people, we were already like this when we came. "Although I know that no one will believe it.
"It's not who you are? There are very few outsiders in our village, and you will die when you come today, are we not you?" said the sharp-tongued old man sitting next to him.
He is not false, there are few people in this village, and they are all old people, and everyone is like a family on weekdays, and it is impossible for them to kill each other, but it cannot be said that it is us! And it is not us at all!
I know who did it, but the key is to find someone, those people have always liked to hide in the shadows, maybe they are snickering somewhere at this moment?
"Patriarch, I'm Zhang Xiaoxian, my mother is Tang Yun, the deceased is my grandparents, I came back this time to see them, but I didn't expect them to ...... as soon as I entered the door" Zhang Xiaoxian couldn't say it anymore, and cried again.
"Yes, yes, she is the family of the deceased, we can't kill people, you have to figure it out, you can't wronged a good person!" I continued Zhang Xiaoxian's words.
After listening to us, the group started a discussion.
"Patriarch, do you think you can believe what these people say?"
"They don't look like they're going to kill people, and what is the motive?"
"If it weren't for them, there would have been no outsiders in the village lately. ”
"That's true, it's not who they will be, the girl said that it was the granddaughter of Old Tang, which of you has seen it?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that no one had seen Zhang Xiaoxian.
Zhang Xiaoxian did come back with Tang Yun once three years ago, but she stayed for a while and left overnight, how could these people have a chance to see her?
At the end of this, we can't come up with any reliable evidence, and this group of old men will not let us go.
"In this way, you live in this courtyard first, and then you can leave when things are clear, if it is not you, we will release you immediately, but if it is you, then you must give the old Tang family a life. The patriarch said.
It is also human nature for him to make this decision, and we should support it, but we have time now, and I am afraid that something will happen if it is delayed.
"Patriarch, are you trying to lock us up?" I asked.
"That's right, dead people are big deals. ”
"What if we can't find any evidence? Can we be allowed to move freely in the village, we promise not to escape, but we will cooperate with everyone and will definitely prove our identity, okay?" I said.
The patriarch is a little embarrassed, my words are not unreasonable, if they can't prove that it is us, and they can't prove our innocence, then will they have to lock us up for the rest of our lives?
After a discussion with a group of them, they decided: "Only one of the three of you can be free, the other two must stay, this is our last concession, you must know that no one has died in our village for decades." ”
It is already his limit that the patriarch can do this step, but which two of the three of us will be locked up? After discussing with Zhang Xiaoxian or Teacher Tang, I decided to keep them.
I am a man, I should bear it, and Zhang Xiaoxian is sad now, so it is good to let Teacher Tang accompany her more.
"We decided to let them stay. I said.
"Okay, come on, take them away. The patriarch gave an order, and a few people came and took Zhang Xiaoxian and Teacher Tang away.
"Give you three days, if you can't prove your innocence within three days, then I'm sorry, we can only do things according to the clan rules. The patriarch said.
"Three days, aren't you kidding me!" "I'm not a detective, how can I find the murderer in three days, isn't this obviously embarrassing for me?"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
I suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, I didn't expect this group of old men to be really difficult to deal with, there was no way, time was pressing, I had to look for evidence.
So I went back to Zhang Xiaoxian's grandparents' house again, the two old people were still lying on the ground, I carefully searched for it, and the fatal injury was a serious injury to the back of the head.
There are blood stains on the wall next to it, and there are obvious collision marks on the location of the blood stains on the wall, there are two places in total, the height is exactly the same as the two old men, it can be inferred that the murderer attacked from the front, grabbed the clothes on the old man's chest, and held the head with the other hand and then hit the wall desperately, and they were both killed alive.
Moreover, the murderer's arm was so strong that it directly caused the deceased to suffer serious brain injuries and a large amount of blood in the brain and died.
