Chapter 88: Facts
The corners of Hu Xiaomei's mouth curved, revealing an indifferent smile, pointing to the footprints on the ground and saying to Liu Yashi: "My lord, please see, these footprints are mine, but the direction is towards the ground, and the footprints are clear, fresh, and obviously today." Because my family had newly rented an acre of dry land, I had to be very careful about the chrysanthemum I had sown for the past two days, so I went to the field early this morning and happened to pass by here. And this old Li Tou died the night before, and it doesn't matter if I just passed by this morning......"
She paused, saw the wrinkles between Liu Yashi's eyebrows slowly deepening, and before he could speak, she continued: "Perhaps, my lord, you will say that it is because my family's dry land is behind here, so I have more opportunities to pass by here. But you see, I'm just a teenage girl, how can I beat a grown man of my size. On top of that, I have no motivation. Actually, all of this is understood by adults......"
Hu Xiaomei felt that Liu Yajun was really a waste of time, and she could do something more useful before Wei Ziyu came, and her previous professional habits made her say her thoughts without hesitation: "According to the current situation, as long as the murderer's motive for killing is found, the suspect can be locked up in a general range." Or, if you can find clues, you can also roughly delineate the scope of the murderer...... It's not a vendetta, it's not a love killing, it's not for money, then it's the murderer's temporary intention...... The doors and windows are intact, and there are no traces of climbing on the courtyard wall, so it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime. Since they are acquaintances, why did the murderer take the risk of killing the deceased, I think there are three possibilities: first, for money; second, for something; Third, there is an impromptu or accidental killing during a quarrel...... But. I don't think it's very likely to kill by mistake, because I heard that Lao Litou's fatal wound has not been found yet, and it is impossible for the temporary intention to be so hidden! As for whether there was a quarrel, if someone passed by that night, they would have heard something. ”
Liu Yashi was completely stunned when he said this, and the Yacha on the side was also dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that the country girl knew so much!
Liu Yashi was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, there was a "pop" applause behind him!
Wei Ziyu was dressed in a white robe, black silk fluttered in the wind, her warm and jade-like face had a hint of smile, and her expression was mixed with a little appreciation!
Hu Xiaomei was surprised, she didn't know when Wei Ziyu came. I don't know how much he heard. But. In this way, it is better to let those who can really be the masters hear, so as not to make it difficult for Liu Ya to pretend to be public and private.
Wei Ziyu paced over, and Liu Yashi hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Wei, you are here......" took the case record report from the yacha on the side and handed it over. Wei Ziyu passed by him. Walked directly to Fox Xiaomei's side. smiled slightly: "You know a lot!" ”
The fox raised her eyebrows and was very modest: "The adult has won the award!" These are all things that you can know just by thinking about it. ”
As for those who only have mouths and no brains, they naturally can't think of it for a while.
The smile on the corner of Wei Ziyu's mouth deepened, and a cold light shot out of his eyes swept over Liu Yashi. Liu Yashi suddenly shuddered, lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his head again, he glanced at the gossip villagers gathered not far away, and stretched out his neck one by one to look this way.
Fox Dayou's brows were tightly twisted together, his face was full of worry, Wei Sanniang stood in place, his hand in the cuff was tightly clutched into his fist, and he couldn't hold back so that he didn't rush over. There is also the young boy who was worried that he would not be able to delay something, ran out of breath, and intercepted himself in the middle of the road, as if his name was Wei Qingbao.
Everyone was very anxious for Hu Xiaomei, but she didn't seem to be worried, surprisingly calm and calm, just like the last time he came to ask about Thirteen.
Wei Ziyu's dark eyes were as bright as gems, and he already had an idea in his heart.
He glanced at Liu Ya and said to the fox Xiaomei, who had been looking at him calmly: "You come with me." ”
Fox Xiaomei naturally followed.
Liu Yayi was surprised, but Master Wei always had his reasons for doing things, he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly told Wei Ziyu about the situation of the case, and finally concluded: "Therefore, at present, the motive is not clear, and the suspect is temporarily locked in the village." ”
Wei Ziyu walked around the courtyard wall of Lao Li Tou's house, and finally came to the courtyard gate, there were several shoe prints at the door, all of which were clearly visible, in addition to the officials, there were Lao Li Tou's and Zhang Yun's.
There are two trees planted on both sides of the courtyard gate, and it doesn't look like an old tree for many years from the soil, how can Hu Xiaomei pay attention to an old bachelor on weekdays, and called Tang Daming to ask, saying yes: "There was no before, it seems that it was planted a while ago, before he seemed to go to Wei Dazhu's house in Weijia Village to ask for tree seeds, but Wei Dazhu's family planted fruit trees, at that time people were willing to give him a small sapling, he didn't want the tree, and then I didn't know where I found such two unknown trees, no one cared when he planted them." ”
Wei Ziyu nodded. Avoiding those footprints and walking into the yard carefully, Hu Xiaomei thought that he had let her follow, and she herself really wanted to see the scene of the crime, so she also followed.
Liu Yayi, who was behind, watched Hu Xiaomei step on Wei Ziyu's footprints and walk into the yard, thought for a moment, and followed her example and stepped on the footprints into the yard.
The three of them went straight into the hall, and even Hu Xiaomei followed, Tang Daming didn't know whether he was going to leave or stay, thinking that he was the head of a village, and he had the responsibility of maintaining the peace and security of the villagers, and no one drove him away, so he also followed hard.
Hu Xiaomei followed Wei Ziyu into the hall.
The room was a bit of a mess, a table in the middle of the hall was knocked to the ground, a bench was kicked into the corner, and the other bench was left intact. Other than that, nothing else seems to have been touched. There was a sickle hanging from the wall, and behind the door was a hoe with dry and hard mud, apparently unused.
Wei Ziyu walked into the back room, the quilt on Lao Li's bed was rolled up and thrown at the end of the bed, the bed was a little dirty, but it was neatly laid, only the long-term sleep was not flattened, and the fold marks left behind were not messy struggles or traces of fighting.
There was also a cupboard in the house, in which were some shabby clothes, and the servants had rummaged through them, and there were no valuables or silver hidden in them.
Although Lao Li Tou is fifty years old, he is not short. If you have a head-on confrontation with someone, you can't just knock over a table and a stool in the hall. Hu Xiaomei watched Wei Ziyu turn around the inner room, and walked to the corpse again, Lao Li Tou was lying on the ground in the middle of the hall, covered with a white cloth.
This white cloth was naturally covered by the officials when they came.
Wei Ziyu squatted down, his slender hand holding the white cloth and was about to uncover it, when he suddenly thought of something, turned around, and Hu Xiaomei stood beside him in a regular manner, looking at him with unblinking eyes.
He was silent. Or uncover the white cloth.
Old Li's eyes were closed. The face was peaceful, without a trace of pain, and there were indeed traces of being pinched on the neck, but the bruises were very light. There are no obvious punctate bleeding symptoms on the skin around the eyes. So. It's not like suffocation.
Wei Ziyu carefully touched the throat bone of Lao Li's head and it was not pinched off, so. Nor was he strangled. The skin complexion is normal, there is no bleeding from the mouth and nose, and it is not poisoning.
There was no blood on his body, and after careful examination, there was not a single fatal wound on his body, and the small wound on his waist did not hurt his life at all. In the end, Wei Ziyu carefully inspected Lao Li's nails, head, back of the neck, etc., and found no major findings.
He put the white cloth back on, and then walked out of the hall and went to the kitchen.
Lao Litou's injury Hu Xiaomei probably also saw it, that is, it was not a knife wound, died of excessive bleeding, nor died of suffocation, nor was it poisoned, not to mention being strangled to death, the marks on the neck were too shallow, and it was impossible to hang himself, and the face of the person who died by hanging could not be so peaceful.
Is there any way to make people die so quietly, if it is in the modern twenty-first century, there are many ways, but in this era, Hu Xiaomei can't think of more possibilities for a while, she can only think of one possibility.
Fox Xiaomei stood at the door of the hall for a while, then followed Wei Ziyu who came out of the kitchen to the cowshed, and after a check, she almost didn't see any useful clues, although she has been a policeman for a few years in modern times, however, she is still a fledgling novice, although Wei Ziyu looks young, but legend has it that he has solved countless cases, never missed, and must have had great analysis and insight.
So, Hu Xiaomei planned to ask Wei Ziyu.
"Master Wei, I wonder what you found?"
Wei Ziyu, who was pondering, was suddenly interrupted by someone, usually at this time, he should be a little annoyed, but at this time, he looked at Hu Xiaomei in surprise, and really felt that this little girl was very interesting. Unexpectedly, it was Hu Xiaomei who was the first to ask.
He raised his eyebrows, and already felt that this girl was not ordinary, but it was unnecessary and useless to talk to a common person, so he asked casually, "What do you think?" ”
Hu Xiaomei was happy in her heart, she was able to do some of her old jobs when she came to this place, even if she was not paid, she was still willing to say her opinion.
"Old Li Tou died a strange death. No fatal injuries were found, and no murder weapon was found. He has a normal complexion, and it should not be poisoned, and from the few ways we know of how to make people die, there are almost no people who can die so peacefully...... But if he dies in his sleep, it is another matter, but even if the deceased is asleep and someone wants to murder, it is impossible for him to know nothing, then there will be struggles and traces of fighting. Judging from the scene of the crime, there should have been struggles, but fights were not ...... The symptoms of skin bleeding around the eyes are not obvious, which is not consistent with suffocation, but it has not been completely ruled out, perhaps, the deceased was covered by his mouth and nose for a short time...... If you think about it carefully, you can't kill someone with just a few breaths, so when the murderer lets go, the deceased can completely resist, so this assumption is not valid...... The faces of those who suffocated to death are not like this...... But if he was killed while he was awake, how was he killed...... Could it be that Lao Li Tou is sick himself? ”
Hu Xiaomei sorted out her thoughts as she spoke, and she turned back in her mind a few times between words, several other possibilities flashed one by one, and were quickly denied by her, and in the end, even she felt a little contradictory.
Many individuals can slowly open up their ideas, and this god in front of them is the best candidate.
She raised her eyes and found that not only Wei Ziyu, but also Liu Ya and several other Ya servants on the side were all looking at her in surprise, and Tang Daming looked incredulous, as if he didn't know the fox Xiaomei in front of him at all. (To be continued......)
