Chapter 388: Before the Grave
"How?" Qian Qizuo became interested, walked over and interjected and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was accustomed to working with corpses, and was good at finding clues from corpses about the deceased's life, and it was interesting that the young man in front of him had come to such a conclusion based on just an empty water tank.
Qiao Zhao looked at Shao Mingyuan quietly, waiting for him to explain.
Shao Mingyuan stretched out his hand and patted the edge of the tank: "The bottom of the tank is very dry, and there is an obvious dividing line two feet upwards, that is, there should be the first water level there." I just tried to scratch the wall of the tank with my fingernail above the dividing line, and there was a mark on the wall of the tank, which is still very clear. ”
He paused when he said this, Qian Qizuo had already figured it out, nodded appreciatively, and asked Qiao Zhao: "Does the little girl know the reason?" ”
Qiao Zhao thought for a while and said, "Just now General Shao said that there was nothing in the water tank, does it mean that Tofu Shih Tzu did not struggle after plunging into the water tank?" ”
"Not bad!" Without waiting for Shao Mingyuan to answer, Qian Qizuo stroked his palm, "If a normal person accidentally plunges into the water tank when scooping water, and will struggle violently to survive out of instinct, then there should be a lot of deep scratches on the wall of the water tank." And now there is nothing left, which means that Tofu Shih Tzu was already dead, or at least unconscious, when he plunged headlong into the water tank. ”
Shao Mingyuan nodded with a smile: "There is a specialization in the art industry, or Qian Qizuo can explain it clearly." ”
Hearing this, Qian Yanzuo suddenly felt comfortable and glanced at Shao Mingyuan approvingly.
No matter who is praised in the field they are good at, they are in a happy mood, and they are no exception.
Qiao Zhao glanced at Shao Mingyuan.
It turns out that someone's sweet words are used on this.
Shao Mingyuan was extremely sensitive to Qiao Zhao's gaze, and immediately looked at it with affection in his eyes.
The corners of Qiao Zhao's mouth twitched, and he coughed to hide his embarrassment: "I have another question." ”
"You say."
"This water tank is so deep, why should Tofu Shih Tzu wait until the water is almost bottomed out and not draw water? Isn't it troublesome to use water like this? ”
Shao Mingyuan's eyes flashed, and he stared at the water tank thoughtfully.
"What's so strange about this, I'll fight when I'm almost done." Qian Qizuo said disappreciably.
Qiao Zhao shook his head: "No, this doesn't make sense. Tofu Shih Tzu is young and widowed, and he pulls his children to grow up alone. A weak woman who raises her son independently, although strong, is very insecure in her heart, which is manifested in life, she will get used to arranging everything in advance, so as not to wait for the need to rush. ”
When Qiao Zhao said this, he glanced at the gate, and continued: "When the village chief led us over, I noticed that the well was not close to here. A mother who is used to keeping things in order should not wait for the water to run out before going to fight. ”
Shao Mingyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Zhaozhao, what do you think?" ”
Qiao Zhao groaned, "I'm wondering, could it be that someone fetches water for her on weekdays-"
She was halfway through her sentence and didn't say anything more.
A widow, someone to fetch water, in the eyes of the world is not a good thing, with Qiao Zhao's upbringing, this kind of speculation would not be said casually, but it is related to the fire of Qiao's family, she can't let go of any possibility.
"It's possible." Shao Mingyuan nodded lightly.
When the water is gone, someone will call it, so naturally you don't have to worry about the problem of more water and less water.
He stared at the girl who calmly analyzed the clues, and wanted to take her into his arms and rub her soft hair fiercely.
His girl, how can she be so smart?
"Since Tofu Shih's death was not an accident, and it happened on the same day as the Qiao family fire, then there may be something related to this." Qiao Zhao said.
"Well, don't worry, since we're here, we won't let go of any abnormalities, and we'll check if there's any connection later." Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and swept over Qiao Zhao's hair, "I'll take a look elsewhere." ”
Tofu Xi Shi's home is not big, he walked through all the corners and corners, and said to Qiao Zhao: "Let's go out too, ask them to clean up together, and eat first." ”
The crowd was also packed up quickly, and after an hour the house was renovated and the food was served.
"There's nothing good in the village, so let's eat it." Yang Houcheng was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he devoured it with chopsticks and a chicken leg.
Shao Mingyuan was silent and put another chicken leg into Qiao Zhao's bowl.
Binglu, who was standing behind Qiao Zhao, nodded secretly. Knowing that she sandwiched chicken legs for her girl, General Shao was still very caring.
Thinking like this, she glanced at Chi Can with a slight roll of her eyes, curious in her heart.
In the past, Chi Gongzi clearly liked her girl, but she has been so quiet recently.
Understood, it must have been that time when General Shao and Chi Gongzi fought on the boat, and the loser withdrew.
Qiao Zhao stared at the chicken leg in the bowl for a moment and ate it silently.
It's just embarrassing to push around in front of everyone.
The corner of Shao Mingyuan's eyes swept to the girl who was seriously eating chicken legs, and couldn't help laughing.
He knew that he couldn't do anything if he was thick-skinned. For a girl like Zhaozhao, you can't reason with her.
With this profound understanding, the young general is full of expectations for the future.
After the meal, Shao Mingyuan got up: "I want to go and worship my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
"In such a hurry? I didn't prepare incense, candles, and paper. Yang Hou admitted.
"Go to their graves and kowtow a few times, and then pay their respects tomorrow."
The group walked through the apricot grove, and what appeared in front of everyone was the remnants of the broken wall after the fire.
Shao Mingyuan had been paying attention to Qiao Zhao, and when he saw her face turned white instantly, he couldn't help but reach out and hold her tightly.
Qiao Zhao didn't struggle, at this time her whole mind was on the tragic scene in front of her.
Ji Can's eyes fell on the place where the two of them were clasping hands, and smiled silently.
His Li San is a ruthless girl, but Shao Mingyuan's Zhaozhao is not.
He lost completely, which is not bad, and he can finally really die.
"Let's go, I heard from my uncle that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are sleeping on the hill behind the house."
Qiao Zhao came back to his senses, then remembered to withdraw his hand, nodded with a white face, and didn't say a word.
She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but lose her temper.
Several people climbed the mountain, and new graves, large and small, were presented in front of them.
Qiao Zhao knelt down with a weak leg.
Thousands of rivers and mountains, things are people, she finally came back, but she couldn't shout her father and mother openly. The graves of my grandfather and grandmother are even more green and high, which is heartbreaking.
At this moment, Qiao Zhao forgot to hide it, and tears rained down.
Chi Can and Yang Houcheng were taken aback and couldn't help but look at each other.
Shao Mingyuan knelt down, kowtowed nine times in front of the grave of Qiao Zhao's parents, and said silently in his heart: Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry, I will protect Zhaozhao for the rest of my life, and I will never abandon her from life and death.
