Chapter Seventy-One: Sharp and Sharp
The scene of the secret calculation did not find anything, but the two of them still did not give up and expanded the search area around the two sides of the avenue, and searched carefully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
By noon, nothing else had been found, not even a single footprint had been found.
On both sides of the avenue are dirt roads overgrown with dwarf bushes, and a person who steps on them will only crush the small shrubs with tenacious vitality, and will not leave a single footprint.
Even if there is, it is incomplete.
Aiming at the incomplete footprints that might exist, Yin Seventeen patiently searched for it again, but he still didn't find it, so he couldn't help but listen to Zhanyan's words, and went back to the county yamen first.
It was past noon when he arrived at the yamen, and Zhan Yan went to call the officials to the scene of the attack on the avenue to clean up.
The dead horse's corpse remained on the avenue, and the two horse's front legs were so far away from the horse's corpse that the horse's eyes were wide open at first.
The moment Yin Seventeen first saw the horse die so miserably, his eyes were watery, and he almost cried on the spot.
It was dark last night, and Zhan Yan only confirmed that the horse was dead, so he focused on exploring the surrounding area of the scene, and did not look closely at the tragic situation of the horse.
Later, there was nothing to find around, and he was worried that something had happened to him and whether something would happen to Yin Seventeen, so he didn't care about the side anymore, so he anxiously applied light skills and quickly went to Bianluo Village.
Zhan Yan only saw the horse clearly this morning, and when he was sad, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe it, so that the horse closed his eyes that were killed in an instant and couldn't close them.
Yin Seventeen has not returned home for more than a day, and after talking to Zhanyan, she went back to the 12th Hutong of Changsheng Street, saying that she would return home and return to the yamen after lunch.
For the first time in five years, she has been away from home for the night, and now she is home.
Granny Tao looked forward to it, although a servant came to inform her, she still couldn't help but worry about Yin Seventeen.
As soon as Yin Seventeen arrived at home, Granny Tao greeted her as soon as she heard the sound, and looked Yin Seventeen up and down, and a pair of veteran hands still touched and pinched left and right, afraid that Yin Seventeen would be injured, and afraid that she would not dare to tell her if she was afraid of hiding it.
Yin Seventeen naturally knew Granny Tao's thoughts, so he held a pair of old hands that were touching and probing up and down on her:
"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm fine! I didn't bump at all! It's true! ”
It's true.
Even when she watched Widow Miao's death last night, her knees and hands were only hurt by the small gravel hidden under the weeds, because they were in a dense group of weeds, and they were not scratched.
Granny Tao said: "That's good, that's good......"
The grandparents and grandchildren had a warm lunch, and Yin Qiqi also talked to Granny Tao about the Miao village chief of Bianluo Village, and how he was good to her.
Granny Tao's eyes narrowed into a line and said with a kind smile: "My family's seventeen is likable, and anyone will be good to my family's seventeen......"
Yin Seventeen's heart was as soft as a sponge.
But when she thought of her parents who had abandoned this small body, she was a little unsavory.
As soon as he finished lunch, Yin Seventeen did not stay at home anymore, but immediately rushed back to the yamen.
Before leaving home, Granny Tao told Yin 170,000 to be careful, even if it was for the purpose of investigating the case, don't treat people too much, and feel the helplessness of others in a different place.
Yin Seventeen all responded obediently.
When he went to the Yamen head catcher's room, Zhan Yan had been confirmed from Shi Qizuo, and the word on that small piece of skin and flesh was indeed the word "Miao".
The ownership of the skin and flesh has been confirmed and determined, and Zhan Yan asked Hua Zilai to take several officials to Bianye Village to completely turn over the area around the sandy road where the skin and flesh were found at the foot of Alishan Mountain.
Hua Zilai said: "Can you find Widow Miao's missing right arm?" ”
Zhan Yan said: "Do you have a better idea?" ”
Hua Zilai shrugged: "No." ”
It is not necessary to find the severed right arm of the Miao widow, but if you don't look for it, you will definitely not find it, and there is no better choice.
After Hua Zilai set off with all the officials, Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan went to the room again.
Zhan Yan took the wire that killed the horse back to the yamen as evidence, and handed it over to Shi Yanwu for inspection.
As soon as he entered the room, as soon as Shi Yanzuo saw Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen, he beckoned the two of them to come over to him, and he pointed to the small bundle of wire on the table:
"I've seen a lot of iron wires as thin as silk and as sharp as a knife blade, but it's the first time I've seen a piece of wire like this that is not unusually round and forms a three-sided water chestnut!"
Yin Seventeen repeated a little stupidly: "Three-sided water chestnut? ”
She approached the rectangular table where the wire was placed, picked up the middle piece of wire, and looked closer to her eyes.
There were still dried blood stains in the two places, and there were a few splashes in the next places, but not as obvious as the thick silk clumps in the two places.
Zhan Yan was also quite strange, and when she approached Yin Seventeen, she pulled out the other end of the middle section of the wire in her hand and looked at it carefully.
The wire was supposed to be a circular object like a cylinder, but she saw a triangle beyond the cylinder, as if a triangle had been recreated from the outside of the cylinder, and then the two were fused together.
The three water chestnuts were sharp and sharp, although they were small and subtle, but when she touched them gently, she could feel the terrifying feeling of her fingers being cut off by pressing down slightly.
The length of the middle section of wire is just enough for the width of the avenue, and it is clear that this is deliberately designed and manufactured.
In this way, it is more conducive to quickly cutting off all living creatures passing through the avenue!
Yin Qiqi saw it and thought of it, and so did Zhan Yan, but strangely enough, when the two of them saw the wire in the morning, they both ignored this important clue.
Maybe it's because of the misery of the horses, or maybe something...... The reason?
Shi Qizuo saw the difference between the two, especially Yin Seventeen, who was very obviously frustrated and blamed, and he said:
"You don't have to pay too much attention to it, the triumphur horn on the middle section of the wire can't be seen by the light, if you don't go out of your way to check and touch it, it's easy to be ignored."
got the clue of the special triangular angle in the middle of the wire, but as soon as he got out of the yamen, Yin Seventeen was still a little dazed:
"Brother Zhan, such a peculiar wire ordinary iron shop must not be sold, so how can we find the blacksmith who makes this water chestnut wire? Could this blacksmith be the murderer of Widow Miao? Or is it an accomplice to the murderer? Or was it just an innocent passer-by who inadvertently helped the murderer make this water chestnut wire? ”
Zhan Yan said: "No matter what role the blacksmith plays in this case, anyway, we must find this blacksmith quickly now to see if he is the one who set up a plot against the horse!" ”
She also knows, where to look?
There are a lot of iron shops in and out of this county, where can I find the blacksmith who makes water chestnut wire?
Yin Seventeen asked Zhanyan, and Zhanyan couldn't say a direction for a while.
So in the end, it was decided that the two soldiers would split into two ways.
Zhan Yan took the officials to visit various blacksmiths in the county, and Yin Seventeen went to Bianluo Village and Bianye Village, and went all the way to the two villages to see if there were any outstanding blacksmiths in the two villages.
In addition to the blacksmith, when he arrived in Bianluo Village first, Yin Qiqi remembered another person - the young woman that Miao Gui said Miao had befriended before her death.
She had to return the lantern, so she decided to investigate the young woman first.
arrived at the village chief's house first, and Yin Seventeen entered the door with a large lantern.
Village Chief Miao smiled and asked her, is this a lantern walk?
Yin Seventeen said that the little lantern was coming, and the village chief Miao said that she was too outward, she smiled and didn't continue the topic, she asked Miao Gui if he was there?
Miao Village Chief said that Miao Gui went to the field to plant seedlings, and Miao Gui said to Miao Village Chief that there was only a little rice left today before going out in the morning, saying that he would be able to return home in the afternoon.
So Yin Seventeen sat down in the courtyard of the Miao village chief's house again, drinking the tea made by the Miao village chief, eating the osmanthus cake made by Miao Gui himself, and chatting with the Miao village chief while waiting for Miao Gui to come back.
Yin Qiqi asked, "Grandpa Miao, do you know who are the best blacksmiths in Bianluo Village and Bianye Village?" ”
Village Chief Miao was also accustomed to Yin Seventeen asking some things about these two villages from time to time, and after hearing this, he thought about it and said:
"There are good blacksmiths, but when it comes to the best, there are not many ......"
Tie Shi Niang of Bian Luo Village and Miao Tie of Bian Ye Village, these two are the most famous and outstanding blacksmiths in the neighboring villages.
Tie Shi Niang's surname is Tie, her maiden name is Shi Niang, about thirty-five years old, her iron-making skills are ancestral crafts, and her husband is a son-in-law who comes to the door.
Tie Shi Niang and his wife have a son, but unfortunately this lone seedling was unexpectedly bad in her childhood, and her appearance was ruined.
Miao Tie is a half-way home, a young man in his early twenties, who married a wife early and had children, and now he has both children and daughters.
By chance, he went to the county iron shop to learn the art of the master, and became an apprentice for a few years, not wanting him to work hard, he learned the craft of the iron master in the iron shop ten out of ten, and he was better than the blue.
Soon after returning home, Miao Tie used this craft to do odd jobs in neighboring villages, and slowly made him a resounding good name.
As soon as the village chief Miao finished talking about some of the lives and family conditions of Tie Shi Niang and Miao Tie, Miao Gui came back.
Miao Gui can be said to be no longer surprised to see Yin Seventeen, and it is natural to see his daughter Miao Miao, after saying hello to Yin Seventeen, he went into the clean room to wash up.
Yin Qiqi knew that the father and son of the village chief Miao did not treat her as an outsider, so as soon as Miao Gui came out, she asked unceremoniously:
"Uncle Miao, are you going to be busy later?"
Miao Gui still doesn't like to smile as usual, but the lines of his face are no longer as cold and hard as when he first saw Yin Seventeen, and his eyes are full of unwelcome, he said:
"Seventeen, if you have something to say, just say it! As long as the uncle can help, the work next to him can also be put away first! ”
Yin Seventeen immediately expressed her respect for Uncle Miao, and then said straight that she wanted to go to the young woman he mentioned last time.
Miao Gui said: No problem.
Strictly speaking, the young woman's house is not far or close to the Miao widow's house, and there are more than a dozen families separated by it.
The road between the two families is not a straight line, but a zigzag like nine turns and eighteen turns, and it is a little dizzy to go around the yin and seventeen.
The young woman's name is Zhu Zimei, and she was also married to Bianye Village from Bian Luo Village, and she is still a clansman with the same surname and clan as the Miao widow, although this clan is also a little relationship that can be received by staggering several lines.
But it's always closer to have a relationship than not to have a relationship.
So since the Miao widow married Miao Da two years ago, Zhu Zimei, who was a few years old and a few years old, often went to the Miao widow's house, and Lala often recounted the old things surnamed Zhu.
After Miao Da drowned, there were many unfavorable words in the village, and Zhu Zimei also gave her head several times for Widow Miao, until she attracted notoriety and trouble, Zhu Zimei's husband's family was dissatisfied, and Zhu Zimei did not take a big deal for Widow Miao.
That time Miao Gui went to Zhu Zimei to persuade Widow Miao's house to fight, which was the last time Zhu Zimei came out for Widow Miao after a long time.
When Yin Seventeen and Miao Gui arrived at Zhu Zimei's house, Miao Gui did not enter the door.
Miao Gui said that because of the last time he came to Zhu Zimei to persuade him, Zhu Zimei's husband and family still have some opinions about Miao Gui, and he still doesn't go in.
So Miao Gui stood between the two houses, and pointed to a young woman who was feeding chickens in the fence yard and said:
"That's Zhu Zimei, seventeen, go over, I'll go back first."
Yin Seventeen smiled and said, "Okay! ”
Miao Gui went home, and Yin Seventeen just walked to Zhu Zimei's house.
After Zhu Zimei learned of Yin Seventeen's intention, she sat on a small stool in the courtyard and cried so that her eyes were red and swollen, but she couldn't stop her tears.
Zhu Zimei's family was very quiet at this time, her husband and father-in-law went to the fields to do farm work, and only she, her mother-in-law and two sons were left in the house, and her mother-in-law and two sons were sleeping in the house, and she was the only one in the yard to feed the livestock.
As she spoke, Zhu Zimei remembered that there was still a big pot of pig food boiling in her kitchen, and without wiping the tears on her face, she hurriedly got up and rushed to the kitchen, quickly extinguished the firewood in the stove, took two thick coarse cloths, and walked out with a large iron pot in one hand.
Yin Qiqi was following to the door of the kitchen, and when she saw Zhu Zimei coming out in a big battle, she hurriedly dodged to avoid it.
Zhu Zimei quickly ran to the pigsty in the corner of the yard and poured the pig food from the big iron pot into the wooden pig food trough.
Granny Tao does not raise pigs, and she has not seen the scene of pigs competing to eat first in her previous life.
For a while, Yin Seventeen was attracted by the scene of snatching food in the pigsty.
Zhu Zimei brought the big iron pot back to the kitchen and put it, and when she returned to the yard, she saw that Yin Seventeen was still standing in front of the pigsty, and couldn't help but approach:
"Presumably Yin Kuaishou hasn't seen feeding pigs, right? The first time I saw it, I definitely felt fresh! ”
really made Zhu Zimei say it right.
Yin Qiqi smiled, turned around and Zhu Zimei and didn't go back to the small stool in the courtyard to sit down, just stood and continued to learn some about the Miao widow's life with Zhu Zimei, and ruled out the murderer's motive for killing.
But Zhu Zimei said that the foul words rumored about Widow Miao outside were all spread by the three aunts and six women in the village who were jealous of Widow Miao's young and beautiful appearance, and there was no basis at all.
At most, those farmer men who have the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief look at the Miao widow twice, and those three aunts and six women feel uncomfortable, and they are looking for a way to break those slanderous words.
