Chapter 148: The Girl of the Hour
At first, when Yin Qiqi smelled the stench in the altar, she hadn't thought about the smell of corpses, but when she saw the bones in the big jar, she realized that the stench in the big jar was the same as the stench in the small jar. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that the smell of the corpse in the small jar is diluted a lot by water and vinegar, and the smell of the corpse itself is very similar to the smell of feces and urine in the pit, which makes Yin Qi, who showed his face, Hua Zilai and entered the yamen later, ignore it, and guess that the smell in the altar may be the smell of corpses.
Hearing that there was a corpse in the altar that was divided into two parts buried in his yard, Yu Guangnian's face was full of blood, but he was still calm, but Yu Shi, who had finally woken up, had been shocked and fainted again.
Zhan Yan, Yin Seventeen, and Hua Zilai's faces were not very good, and in one night, two corpses were found one after another, and one of them was still dead for a long time.
Seeing Yu Guangnian holding Yu and then returning to the dormitory to rest, Zhan Yan suddenly remembered the faint words of Yu Guangnian and his wife, and wondered if there was a side reason for Yu's frightened fainting in addition to these two dead corpses?
Yin Seventeen didn't pay attention to Yu Guangnian and his wife for too long, and after watching Yu Guangnian carry Yu back to the bedroom, she returned to the white hard block in her hand:
"The skull was soaked in vinegar before being stuffed into a small jar."
Hua Zilai asked, "Why soak in vinegar?" Is it to reduce the smell of corpses? ”
Yin Seventeen asked rhetorically, "Can you smell the stench of corpses in this small jar when you don't open the lid of this small jar?" ”
Hua Zilai thought about it for a moment and shook his head.
If it weren't for the fact that he felt a little strange at that time that the small jar was placed on the outermost side of a pile of miscellaneous things, Hua Zilai would not have picked up the small jar casually and asked Yu Guangnian and his wife, and when he got that Yu Guangnian and his wife didn't know what was in the small jar, he really became suspicious, and then patted the altar lid, and the sky-high stench was completely released.
Before that, Hua Zilai and Yu Guangnian didn't smell the slightest smell at all.
If you don't open the lid of the altar, you won't be able to smell the slightest smell, so the intention of using vinegar to reduce the smell of corpses is not valid.
After Hua Zilai shook his head, Yin Seventeen hadn't explained yet, and Zhan Yan had already figured out the key to it:
"The bones were divided into two jars, the larger jar containing most of the bones of the corpse, except for the head, and the small jar containing the only separate head, and ......"
Zhan Yan's eyes fell on the mouth of the small jar on the table, and he deduced:
"An altar of this size can't hold a complete head at all, except for breaking it into several pieces, I think the effect of vinegar should be to soften the skull."
Hua Zilai said: "Softening? ”
Yin Seventeen affirmed: "It's the effect of softening!" There is acid in vinegar, and acetic acid has the effect of decalcification, soaking the skull in vinegar for a long time can make the skull slowly soften, of course, this softening is very subtle and slow, and it takes a long time, so before breaking the deceased's skull and installing the altar, the corpse holder must first soak the deceased's head for a long time to soften, and then take advantage of the softening to smash it, so that the head that could not be put into the small jar can be put into the small jar. ”
Hua Zilai said: "Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, a few hammers go down, no matter how hard the skull is, you can put it in as small a jar as you want!" ”
Yin Seventeen nodded and said: "That's true, it can be seen that the corpse pretender is not a person who is extremely violent as you said, but chooses a more gentle method of pretending the corpse, although this gentle process is laborious and time-consuming, but when it really breaks the skull, it is much more labor-saving." ”
Zhan Yan said: "There is also a possibility, that is, what is the saying or meaning of the person who pretends to soak the head of the deceased in vinegar. ”
Yin Seventeen said: "Yes, there is also such a possibility. ”
Hua Zilai listened to Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen analyzing the various possibilities of the case back and forth, and he pointed out a suspicious place between the two of them:
"Why do you call that man a corpse pretender, not a murderer? Don't you think that the man who packed a body in two large and small jars was the murderer? ”
This time, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen didn't come back to the flowers, but Ye Ziluo replied:
"Collecting corpses and killing people are two completely different things, and there are many examples where the murderer and the person collecting the body are not the same person."
Flower comes to understand.
But after understanding, Hua Zilai is also a little embarrassed, even if Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen are better than him, it seems that now how can even the leaves that arrive later be more comprehensive and thorough than he thinks?
Two corpses were found in one night, such a murder is really serious, and regardless of whether the deceased who was buried in the altar was killed or killed by the corpse after the natural death, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen did not have the heart to take care of Hua Zilai's emotions at the moment.
Hua Zilai's emotions also came and went in a hurry, and he asked again after a few breaths, asking the question in the hearts of Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen:
"Then do you think that the deceased who was dismembered and put on the altar was killed, or that the deceased died himself?"
Zhan Yan didn't answer, but Yin Seventeen replied after putting the white hard lump back into the small jar:
"This is not yet known for sure, and we will not know until the autopsy reveals the cause of death of the deceased, but I did find something from the large jar in the courtyard, Ziluo!"
Summoned by Yin Seventeen, Ye Luofang, who had been mostly silent and quiet, approached the table from the door, and put the things wrapped in his blue handkerchief on the table, showing them to everyone.
After looking at a flower-shaped earring that appeared after the blue handkerchief on the table was spread out, the fox said suspiciously:
"The deceased was a woman?"
Yin Seventeen said: "After ruling out the possibility that the person pretending to be a woman is a woman, it is indeed very likely that the deceased is a woman." ”
If it is not the person who pretends to be a corpse accidentally drops his earrings into the large jar while loading the corpse, then it can only mean that the deceased is a woman.
Zhan Yan asked, "Only one earring?" ”
Yin Seventeen looked at Ye Ziluo when he heard this, and Ye Ziluo said:
"Only one."
The earrings were discovered by Yin Seventeen, but the person who took the earrings out of the bones of the big jar was Ye Ziluo, which Ye Ziluo took the initiative to request, so when he took out the earrings, he also deliberately looked for them carefully according to Yin Seventeen's instructions to see if there was another earring, but the result was no.
At this time, there was a sudden crisp sound of "bump".
Zhan Yan and the other four looked for a sound, but found that it was Yu Guangnian who had placed the Yu family, and when he walked to the door of the dormitory, he was sitting on the ground, and he also knocked over a cheap vase of flower arrangements placed on the high table next to the door.
Hua Zilai hurriedly ran to Yu Guangnian's side, trying to help Yu Guangnian get up, but he didn't expect Yu Guangnian to completely soften his legs, and he couldn't help him, so he simply squatted down and asked Yu Guangnian:
"What's going on? What scared Uncle Yu like this? ”
With Hua Zilai's question, Yu Guangnian was still shaking his legs and couldn't speak, but Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan thought of the case that several people were analyzing at the same time, and the case happened to say that the deceased who was dismembered and put on the altar was most likely a woman.
Could it be that Yu Guangnian knows something?
This question arose in Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen's hearts, and at the same time, they almost concluded that Yu Guangnian must have some things that he had not yet explained.
Zhan Yan approached Yu Guangnian, and also squatted down and asked:
"Uncle Yu mentioned to Aunt Yu before, 'The time is coming', I don't know what this means?"
Yin Seventeen squatted down after Zhan Yan, obviously aware that Yu Guangnian heard Zhan Yan say the five words "Hai time is coming", Yu Guangnian's whole body trembled even more.
Yu Guangnian's fear became even more obvious, Mo said that Zhanyan, Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo were even the four of the four who were a little sluggish Hua Zilai also noticed it.
Hua Zilai asked: "What is Uncle Yu afraid of, can you tell us, say it, let's discuss a solution together!" ”
Hearing Hua Zi say that it was solved, Yu Guangnian shook his head and said in a trembling voice:
"It can't be solved...... It can't be solved at all! ”
The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what Yu Guangnian meant.
Yin Seventeen asked: "Uncle Yu, if you don't make it clear, just rely on the two altars of bones buried in your courtyard, and the dead who stood in front of your house and were beheaded and died, these two corpses are enough for you to go to the yamen and eat a few prison meals, Uncle Yu should think about it carefully and see how to explain these suspicions clearly!" ”
Yin Seventeen's words contain persuasion, but also faint coercion.
Yin Seventeen is this all-encompassing posture when facing a suspicious suspect, whether it is with words or with action coercion, she does it freely, so Zhan Yan and Hua Zilai are not worried that Yin Seventeen will say such things for no reason.
But Hua Zilai couldn't help but think, although Yu Guangnian was suspicious, it was too nonsense to say that he was a murderer, and he didn't know what Yin Seventeen deliberately said such coercive words to lead it out?
Hua Zilai didn't know the reason, but Zhan Yan knew it in his heart, he knew that Yin Seventeen wanted to pour out all the things that Yu Guangnian knew and hidden, so he had this coercive words.
Yu Guangnian was so threatened by Yin Seventeen's words, and he couldn't help but glance at Yin Seventeen when he was afraid, seeing that Yin Seventeen was young, he didn't realize that he looked down on her, and then turned his eyes to Zhan Yan, and eagerly argued:
"Zhan Catcher, the little people are wronged! Xiaomin really doesn't know this ...... What the hell is going on! ”
Zhan Yan asked, "First of all, what do you mean by the 'Hai Shi' mentioned by you and Aunt Yu earlier?" ”
Yu Guangnian knew that he couldn't hide, and after sighing deeply, he got up with the help of Hua Zilai, but just when Yu Guangnian sat down at the table and was about to talk about "Hai Shi", a singing voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall!
Yu Guangnian's face turned pale immediately, he didn't even dare to sit on the stool, and the whole person completely went under the table, holding his head and shaking his body, and he still had words in his mouth.
After Yin Qiqi glanced outside the hall, she squatted down at the table, listening carefully to what Yu Guangnian was muttering under the table, and after listening for a while, she finally heard the words that Yu Guangnian was talking about.
Zhan Yan asked, "What is he talking about?" ”
After looking at the empty courtyard with Ye Ziluo at the door of the hall, Hua Zilai walked back to the table, just in time to hear Yin Seventeen's words:
"Uncle Yu is saying - there is a debtor who is wronged, you are not my victim, don't come to me!"
Zhan Yan glanced at Yu Guangnian, who was still thinking about the words, and looked back and asked Yin Seventeen:
"It's always been like this?"
Yin Seventeen nodded and said, "Only this one!" ”
Since Yu Guangnian heard the sound of singing and got under the table, he kept repeating the sentence "There is a debtor who is wronged, you are not my victim, don't come to me", as if a monk can reassure people by chanting sutras non-stop, Yu Guangnian also kept chanting.
Zhan Yan asked Hua Zilai again: "Who is singing in the courtyard?" ”
Hua Zilai shook his head inexplicably and said, "No one!" ”
Zhan Yan replied suspiciously: "No one? ”
Hearing this, Yin Seventeen couldn't help but look at Ye Ziluo, and Ye Ziluo said:
"As Brother Hua said, I only hear his voice, but I don't see his person!"
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen glanced at each other, only to feel that things were getting more and more mysterious.
Zhan Yan let the flowers look at Yu Guangnian who was under the table, and Ye Ziluo also asked Yin Seventeen to stand by the door of the bedroom, so that he could take care of Yu Shi who was sleeping on the bed in the bedroom from time to time.
The headless male corpse appeared, and then the bones of the corpse altar were also dug up, and the abnormal reaction of Yu Guangnian and his wife to the hour of "Hai Shi", and when the singing sounded, it was Hai Shizheng!
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen walked out of the hall to the courtyard, standing on the red brick path in the courtyard, the two of them looked around carefully, and found that it was indeed as the flowers and leaves fell, it was completely empty.
But the singing continues.
Yin Seventeen didn't know the tone of opera, she only felt that the woman who sang the opera was drunk and indignant, tactful and complaining, and full of grievances, she said to Zhanyan:
"It seems that Uncle Yu's abnormality is because of the singing sound that sounded at this 'Hai Shi'!"
Zhan Yan nodded and said, "Can you hear clearly what this woman is singing?" ”
Yin Qiqi listened carefully, and said the sad and indignant words of the woman's drink word for word:
"Earth, you don't distinguish between good and bad! God, you are wrong to be foolish! ”
The opera sung by the woman is not a whole paragraph, back and forth like Yu Guangnian, singing these two sentences repeatedly.
These two sentences of Yin Seventeen sound familiar, why do you feel as if you have heard them somewhere?
After Zhan Yan heard Yin Seventeen say the two words sung by the woman, he also felt familiar, and after thinking for a while, he finally remembered: "Dou E is wronged!" ”
Dou E's injustice?
Yin Seventeen exclaimed: "Yes! It's Dou E's injustice! This is the lyrics in the drama "Dou E's Injustice"! ”
Hearing this, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen could already be sure that the woman who sang "Dou E's Injustice" must have some grievances to confide in, but why didn't they go to the yamen to complain, but sang "Dou E's Injustice" at night?
The singing woman was not in Yu Guangnian's yard, but the singing sound was very close, and it must not be far from Yu Guangnian's house, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen decided to look for this woman nearby.
After looking for a quarter of an hour, the two gathered in front of Yu Guangnian's house, and after shaking their heads in pairs, they knew that they had found nothing.
The singing statement is close at hand, but why can't I find the woman who sings? (To be continued.) )
