When human lives are involved, they are all big cases, and Kou Zhun naturally can't settle the case hastily. It's just that the origin of the human leg has not been found, and the case has no clue, so I have to order the officials to search everywhere.

The days passed, and during this period, Kou Zhun received a reply from Xiao Guoliang, which was nothing more than an exhortation. I also had a letter from my little sister Xiao Yiran in my heart, to the effect that I would say hello to myself, my sister-in-law, and Lian'er. He also told Sù Kou Zhun that Xiao Yiran and Mr. Kou Xiang have always exchanged letters. Kou Zhun picked up the pen and wrote a reply letter to Xiao Yiran, in which he also mentioned the headless public case in front of him, although it was not very detailed, but also gave a general idea.

Xiao Yiran looked at Kou Zhun's reply and became interested in the human life lawsuit mentioned in Kou Zhun's letter. looked at Kou Zhun's letter and carefully scrutinized it. First, write a few words on the bookcase:

Zhang Yuanwai, Zhao Sanxi, the woods in the back garden of Yuanwai's house, human legs.

Xiao Yiran pondered, pondered, and thought: It is impossible for human legs to appear abruptly in the forest in the back garden of Zhang Yuanwai's house. Generally, the gardens of wealthy families are either walled or guarded, and people will not let people in. So who and where would the human leg be buried? How did it come out?

Zhao Sanxi, who discovered the human leg, could it be the initiator? If it was Zhao Sanxi, would he sue Zhou Lei and Chen Cong about it? It shouldn't be, this is a major matter of human life, even if Zhao Sanxi is ignorant and involves his own life, he will definitely not say it lightly. At most, after losing the gambling by himself, he secretly blackmailed Zhang Yuanwai alone.

It's not Zhao Sanxi, will it be Zhang Yuanwai? The garden belongs to theirs, and it is also the most convenient to enter and enter their own garden. However, if it was Zhang Yuanwai, why did he kill people? Why did you bury your body in your own garden after killing someone? Why is only one leg buried, and where are the other corpses?

Xiao Yiran thought about it for two or three days, and gradually had a rough idea in his heart. So he wrote back to Kou Zhun and told Kou Zhun in detail about his ideas in the letter.

Kou Zhun looked at Xiao Yiran's letter, and the sooner he was, the more he felt that his little junior sister was extraordinary, although it was reasoning, it was not at all. In the letter, Siu Yiran analyzed:

It should be possible to send Zhao Sanxi to kill someone. First of all, it is impossible for Zhao Sanxi to bury the body in the Zhang family's garden after the killing, unless he has the intention of blackmailing Zhang Yuan from the beginning. If you had such a mind in mind from the beginning, then it would be impossible to sue Zhou and Chen. Secondly, isn't there a wall in the Zhang family's garden, and there is no one to guard it?

Therefore, Zhang Yuanwai is the most suspicious. First, Zhang Yuanwai can enter and enter his own garden at will. Second, Zhang Yuanwai may have been motivated by wealth, or by lust, but the woman was brutally killed if she did not comply. After the killing, because the body was too heavy or wanted not to be discovered, the body was dismembered and buried separately.

If you want to prove whether Zhang Yuanwai did it, you only need to find out whether Zhang Jiayuanzi is guarded by people or guarded by dogs. And continue to search for another part of the body in the garden, or nearby. If it can be found, it must be Zhang Yuanwai's doing.

Kou Zhun nodded, and immediately called to catch Liu An.

"Liu An, lead the officials to arrest quickly, and follow me to Qiujia Village."

"Yes, sir."

Kou Zhun took the work again, and the group went straight to Qiujia Village.

Since the incident of a human leg in Zhangjiayuan, some people in the entire Qiujia Village and the surrounding villages have been panicking. Seeing that the county master came to investigate again, the villagers came to watch.

According to Xiao Yiran's analysis, Kou Zhun first asked someone from the Zhang family to ask:

"Who is usually guarding the back garden of your family?"

"It's the old man."

"Where is the old man?"

"I got sick some time ago, and I went home to recuperate."

"After the old man leaves, who will guard the garden?"

"There are no more people outside the staff, just two dogs in the garden, leashed during the day, and released at night."

"Two dogs? Why didn't I see a dog last time I came? ”

"Back to the master, that's the case, since the human leg was found, both dogs have been taken away by the staff."

"I see."

When Kou Zhun heard this, he understood something in his heart.

"Lead the officials to arrest quickly, and give the garden to the master to search carefully, especially those places that have been moved recently, be sure to dig pits and take a look."

I have to say that the garden of the Zhang family is very large. More than a dozen servants and catchers rushed in, and there was hardly anyone in sight. So Kou Zhun mobilized the villagers to go into the garden to help search. At noon, Liu An finally found a place with soft ground, and after digging it up, he really found the bodies of some people. Immediately, three more places were found in succession, and all the corpses were gathered. To Kou Zhun's surprise, the corpse of the old Zhang Tou who was guarding the garden was also found in the garden.

"Go back to the county office."

There is no need to doubt it, there is no doubt that Zhang Yuanwai did it. When he returned to the county office, Kou Zhun couldn't take a break, and he didn't care that it was already noon, so he immediately interrogated Zhang Liren.

"Bold Zhang Liren, honestly, how did you kill an innocent woman?"

"Master, the villain is wronged."

"Dare to quibble, in your garden, a total of five places where corpses are buried. You say it wasn't you, but who came into your garden to bury the body? Where did the old man who guarded the garden go? ”

"Lao Zhangtou is not in good health, some time ago, the villain sent him back to recuperate."

"Go back to recuperate? Then why is Lao Zhangtou's body buried in your home? It seems that if you don't move the punishment, you won't recruit it. Come, give me a great punishment! ”

"The lord is slow, the villain is willing to recruit."

As soon as Zhang Liren heard that he was going to be punished, he was scared in his heart, so he truthfully explained what happened.

One afternoon, Zhang Liren was bored after the lunch break, so he went to his back garden for a stroll, and after walking for most of the hour, he just wanted to go home, but found a dusty young woman sitting on the roadside outside the garden to rest. Zhang Liren walked over and looked carefully, although the woman's face was desolate, it was difficult to hide her beautiful appearance. Zhang Liren is also in his fifties, and he guessed from the woman's dress and the etiquette around him that he must be a foreign woman. So he inquired diligently:

"Where is the little lady's fairy town? Why? ”

The woman may have seen that Zhang Liren's hair was already gray, so she was not guarded, and immediately replied:

"The slave family has seen the old man, the slave family is from Yan'an Mansion, because her husband traveled thousands of miles to Yanshan Mansion to do business, and there has been no news for many years. The aunts in the family died of illness one after another, and the slave family was helpless, so they wanted to go to Yanshan Mansion to find a husband. ”

"Oh, it's a long way from Yan'an Mansion to Yanshan Mansion, it's hard for you to be a little woman. It was late today, and it would take thirty miles to go east out of this village, and then there would be villages and towns. If you can trust my old man, you can rest here for the night, and it will not be too late to hit the road tomorrow. ”

Zhang Liren said, casually pointing to the three thatched huts guarding the garden behind him.

The woman hesitated for a while, seeing that it was indeed a little late, if it really took more than thirty miles to go east before there were villages and towns, it was not to stay overnight in the wilderness.

"Thank you, uncle, I'm just afraid of causing trouble to the old man."

"What's the trouble with this, who is out of the house, and who can't walk with the house on their backs?"

Hearing that the woman agreed to stay at home, Zhang Liren was secretly happy. The reason why Zhang Liren left the woman in the garden was because he was afraid that the family would be seen by his wife and children, as well as his subordinates. He immediately led the woman to the front of the house and said to the old man:

"Lao Zhang, you go home and sleep today, and come back later tomorrow."

sent the old Zhang Tou away, asked the woman to come in and stay, and Zhang Liren turned around and left. When I returned home, I had dinner, brought some loose silver, two packets of snacks, and sneaked into the garden at night. The lights were on in the room, and Zhang Liren knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Girl, it's my old man. Bring some food to the girl. ”

"Thank you, sir."

The woman didn't thank her, and opened the door for Zhang Liren. Zhang Liren entered the house, closed the door with his hand, and carried the latch with him. At this time, the woman felt that something was wrong, and she was about to go over and open the latch, but she was hugged by Zhang Liren.

It stands to reason that the woman is only in her twenties, and Zhang Liren is already an old man in his fifties, even if there is a gap in the strength of men and women, after all, the age is there. It's just that this woman has been traveling thousands of miles, can't eat well, can't sleep well, and is already tired because she thinks about her husband. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sat on the side of the road in broad daylight to rest and not rush. After several struggles, he was finally defiled by Zhang Liren.

After the incident, Zhang Liren proudly left some broken silver and two packets of snacks he brought, walked outside, locked the door behind the door and went home to sleep. The next morning, after breakfast, I thought about harming the woman again, but I didn't want to open the door to find that the woman had committed suicide by hanging herself.

Zhang Liren deserves it in his heart. I hurriedly untied the woman from the beam, and I was tired and panting, and sat down to rest. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was inappropriate, in case someone found out, it was a great deal. So, in a panic, he went to the garden to dig a pit, wanting to sell the woman's body on the spot. However, how did Zhang Liren, who had not worked for many years, do this, only dug a small pit, and his hands were blistered with blood. angrily threw down the hoe, returned to the house, and looked at the corpse of the woman on the kang, who did not look like a person who committed suicide by hanging a beam at all, and his face was the same as before his death. couldn't help but feel lustful again, and even climbed onto the kang and raped the woman's corpse.

In the end, Zhang Liren was ruthless, dismembered the woman's body, and scattered it for burial. Just halfway buried, the old head came back. When I saw the blood stains in the house and the corpses remaining, I fainted with fright. Zhang Liren didn't stop doing anything, and simply killed the old Zhang Tou with a knife. It took a whole day of hard work in the garden to bury the bodies of the two men. When he returned home, he brought two dogs to guard the garden, but he said that Lao Zhangtou was not in good health and went home to recuperate.

I don't want to, because I want to save effort, the pit where the body is buried is too shallow, and it was turned over by a dog at night. Zhao Sanxi, who happened to be lazy, has been short of money recently, and he doesn't even have money for dinner, let alone gambling. I have long been thinking about the trees in the back garden of Zhang Li's house, and I can cut one down at random and sell it for some money in the market. Therefore, I sneaked in in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect to be caught by the old Zhang Tou who was watching the garden, but was chased by two big dogs all over the garden. I happened to run to the place where the dog turned out the human leg, but I was careless and tripped over. I got up and tried my best to escape from the forest, and when I sat down to breathe, I remembered that I had tripped over myself just now as if I was jumping on a human leg.

After dawn, seeing Zhang Yuanwai coming to tie up the two dogs, Zhao Sanxi slipped into the garden again, found the place where he wrestled, and saw that it was indeed a human leg. Only then did he change his mind and wanted to blackmail Zhang Liren.
