Volume 1 Origin, The Battle of Heaven Chapter 39 Really, Did You Guess Wrong?
"Committed suicide?" asked the official in surprise.
It seems hard to imagine that the person who had been shouting that he had been wronged before suddenly committed suicide at this moment.
"Yes, it's suicide. The guard replied hurriedly.
In the dim cell, Li Ergou's body was lying on the ground like that, and blood was still flowing from his wrists. There was a broken rice bowl next to it, and there were some leftovers scattered on the floor.
He must have been halfway through his meal when he suddenly broke the bowl. Then he picked up the debris and began to cut his wrist.
"Kill people and kill people. The walker also suddenly said such a sentence.
The official and the guard looked at each other, not knowing what the walker meant.
The person behind the scenes should be afraid, Li Ergou told his identity, so he let the rabbit spirit control Li Ergou's body and cut his wrist. The walker continued.
"How so?" asked the officer.
"Just because Li Ergou has already eaten half of the meal. If he had been thinking about suicide from the beginning, he shouldn't have eaten again. ”
Therefore, Li Ergou knows the people behind the scenes. This also confirms from the side that the people behind the scenes are the villagers in the village. ”
He first used the cat spirit to control Li Ergou and killed the first two children in a very planned way, but when it came to the third child, he suddenly found that Li Ergou had been arrested by the government. He knew that he couldn't count on Li Ergou anymore, so he chose to abandon him, and then went to the third child's place himself. ”
In other words, this is what makes the difference between the third child and the first two when he is killed. ”
The Walker explained.
Thinking about it this way, the villager who saw Li Ergou devouring the cat spirit was very suspicious. ”
He was in court at the time and saw Li Ergou being arrested by the government, so he threw out such a big topic to attract everyone's attention. And when everyone thought that Li Ergou above the court was the murderer, he went to the third child's residence and killed the child. ”
"When you think about it this way, the timing can really be right. ”
"Well, let's find the villager first. ”
The walker described the appearance of that person to the official, and the official said that the person was Zhao Dahu from the east of the village, so a group of people rushed to Zhao Dahu's house in the east of the village.
Zhao Dahu lay on a bench in the courtyard, as if he was asleep. There was also a child running happily in the courtyard, and every now and then a few happy laughs came out.
The official knocked on the door, and Zhao Dahu opened the door.
He seemed surprised as to why the official had come here, he seemed cramped, but not panicked.
He let Xing He Yunshui, as well as the official master, into the courtyard, and then moved a few benches and let them all sit down.
"What is the matter with the people who came to my house today?" he began to ask the starter and the officer.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to ask about Li Ergou. Because he is now listed as a suspect, and these two masters have heard that you have seen Li Ergou devour a rabbit in the back mountain, so I want to hear you tell you the specific details at that time. The official said to him politely, without revealing any suspicion of Zhao Dahu.
Hearing the official's words, Zhao Dahu slowly explained the situation at that time.
Zhao Dahu said: "I was in the back mountain that day, and I saw Li Ergou lying on the ground from afar, he seemed to have just drunk with someone, and he seemed a little drunk. I tried to go over and pick him up, but I saw him sit up and take out a rabbit out of nowhere. The rabbit was very cute, but I don't know what Li Ergou was crazy about, he actually bit the rabbit's neck in one bite, and then I saw that he began to suck the rabbit's blood. And he kept sucking until the rabbit died, and then I saw again, and he looked in my direction. ”
I was so startled that I hid myself, and when I came back to see him, I saw that he had skinned the rabbit, and had stripped it from it, and then roasted it on the fire, and at last ate it all. ”
I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to see him again, so I hurried home. ”
Zhao Dahu finished speaking, and took another deep breath. He looked up at the officials and walkers, and then went on to say the following words.
"Master Guan, do you say that this Li Ergou is really a murderer? He is so cruel to that rabbit, can he really do it to people?"
"But those are all children, why did this Li Ergou become so frustrated?"
After Zhao Dahu finished speaking, he shook his head sadly, but the walker stopped him.
"It's just a suspicion, but it's not determined yet. The walker looked at Zhao Ergou again, and then began to speak again.
"You said that you were on the back mountainside that day, and you saw Li Ergou eating a rabbit with blood. Can you tell us more about what you wanted to do that day?"
"The grass people went to the back mountain, just to help their son pick some wild fruits. Because there is a tree in the back mountain that has wild fruit growing on it, I don't know why, but my son likes to eat the fruit of that tree the most. Zhao Dahu glanced at the walker, and then said.
"Oh, is it?" asked the walker, unusually confused.
Zhao Dahu called his son and asked him to go to the kitchen and take out all the fruits. He handed one to the walker, and then one to Yunshui.
The walker put the fruit in his mouth, and after making sure that there was no problem, he let Yunshui eat it.
"Perhaps, maybe it's really the poor monk who thinks too much. ”
"But it's not been peaceful recently, and we can't rule out that in addition to Li Ergou, there will be other murderers, so I hope you and the rest of the village can stay at home." After this period of time, maybe there should be no major problems. ”
The walker folded his hands and made a Buddhist salute to Zhao Dahu, and then left with Yunshui and the official master.
"Could it be that the poor monk has been too suspicious lately?"
The walker seemed to be talking to himself.
A few days went uneventful, and so it went on for another seven days.
Early in the morning, Zhao Dahu ran to the mansion. He said to the official in a panic that his son had never seen him since yesterday.
The official master immediately organized the officials, and took the walkers and Yunshui to start searching.
The walker pondered in confusion.
The situation in front of him is already a passer, and he is more and more suspicious of himself.
Could it be that the walker really guessed wrong?
