Chapter 15: The Fourth Corpse
Shui Qingxiang settled down at home and in the store today, and went out early.
She's in a good mood these days, very, very good.
Although Lord Liu did not directly say that she should enter the yamen as a fast arrester, he promised to arrange a position for her after solving the case.
Shui Qingxiang hopes that this case can be solved sooner so that her dream can come true.
Recently, Lord Liu has been worried about a lot of things, first the three murder cases were not solved, and Qin Zhutou suddenly disappeared, and ran to Yulan County to find clues, except for calling the senior brother who had not seen him for a long time to help, he found nothing.
Shui Qingxiang kicked the pebbles on the road a little bored, speculating on the case in her heart, she just walked to the gate of the county yamen, and saw the old man and several catchers hurriedly walking out of the yamen.
"Where are you going?" Shui Qingxiang asked with some surprise.
The old man had seen Shui Qingxiang a few times, and knew that she was a celebrity in front of the county magistrate, so he replied quite politely: "Shui girl, this year is really unfavorable." Another corpse was found in the suburbs, and I heard that it seemed to be Yun Daochang, who had just run out of the county jail, and died a terrible death. Hey, our county doesn't know what bad luck it has suffered this year, and it has caused such a thing. ”
The old man sighed with emotion, and followed the footsteps of several catchers.
Shui Qingxiang hesitated slightly for a moment, and immediately followed behind them: "I'll go with you." ”
Shui Qingxiang thought that she had collected some of the information from the previous three deceased, and she could already paint a portrait of the murderer, and if she collected more useful information, she should be able to deduce the identity of the murderer.
Although some information was collected from the first three deceased, Shui Qingxiang always felt that there was still something missing before she could complete the entire murderer puzzle.
Although the previous three bodies had broken through Shui Qingxiang's limit, when they arrived at the scene, when Shui Qingxiang saw the fourth corpse, she had already made enough mental preparations.
A huge boulder smashed into the corpse, shattering it to pieces and disintegrating its face.
In addition to the Taoist robe, as well as the gray hair, he could vaguely identify the Yundao people who had escaped from the county government prison.
It stands to reason that the people of Yundao have gone crazy after seeing the old bustard in Yichun Courtyard being killed, but he can escape from the county government like no one else, unless someone rescues him, it can only mean one thing - he was pretending to be crazy before.
If this inference is true, then he must know who the real murderer of the old bustard is, and perhaps he can speculate more boldly that Yun Daochang was also an insider or a direct participant in the theft of the tribute back then.
It's a pity that he died like this, otherwise maybe I could have learned some clues from his mouth.
"The deceased was killed by a shattered skull and injuries to his body organs." The old man came to a conclusion after examining the corpse of the Cloud Dao Chief.
Shui Qingxiang's face showed a little hesitation: "Aren't there any other injuries on the deceased's body?" For example, the back of his head? ”
Shui Qingxiang clearly remembered that the back of Yun Daochang's head had been injured before, so she deduced that Yun Daochang and the murderer were not the same person.
"Oh, the wound on the back of the head was only a minor injury, it scabbed over in two days, and it wasn't a life-threatening wound." The old man replied lightly.
"Is that okay, a person himself smashed himself into the back of the head with a heavy weapon, causing such a scar?" Shui Qingxiang had doubts in her heart and wanted to find an old man to confirm her guess.
The old man thought about it for a while, and replied puzzledly: "Yes, it can, but it can't hurt too much." Moreover, why would anyone deliberately smash themselves in the back of the head? ”
When Shui Qingxiang heard this answer, her heart suddenly felt cold.
She had doubts before, and felt that she had thought too much, but hearing her say this today confirmed the guess in her heart.
It's just that she still needs to look for new clues before she can be sure.
Shui Qingxiang didn't continue to stay at the scene of Yundaoren's death, she had more things to do.
Leaving the scene, she walked in the direction where the old bustard's broken body was found.
The old bustard and the cloud chief both died in the suburbs, and the scene was not too far away, when Shui Qingxiang walked to an old birch tree, stopped.
At the beginning, there were pieces of broken corpses of old bustards hanging on this old birch tree, and the scene was very terrifying, but now standing under this big tree, the broken corpses on the tree have been cleaned up.
But even so, when Shui Qingxiang stood here, she still felt a chill in her back, and her yin aura was gloomy.
Because of the corpse crushing case, this place and this old birch tree may have become a nightmare for the people of Dongzi County, and no one dared to set foot here for a long time.
Mizuharuka stood under the tree and studied it carefully around the birch.
This big tree has many branches and leaves, like a huge umbrella stretched out on the ground, and it takes a lot of effort to hang the corpses one by one.
Shui Qingxiang crossed her hands on her chest, her eyes staring at the birch tree, but her thoughts stayed in the scenario mode of the murderer killing people.
At this moment, she fantasizes about herself as a murderer, and after killing people, she stands under a tree to dispose of the corpse.
"I hate this woman, and I have to break her body to give vent to my anger, this birch tree is in the highest place in the suburbs, and it can be seen from a distance. I'm going to let her die and be subjected to this kind of being lily done
G feels that I am not the only one who has done this, I also have an accomplice who committed a crime. ”
Shui Qingxiang was reasoning about the case in her mind, she felt that she was only judging the surface of the case before, but now she plans to change her direction and reimagine the whole case as the murderer, maybe she can get a different harvest.
After leaving the old birch tree, she continued to walk forward, and she remembered that Yun Dao Chang was buried not far from this old birch tree.
Sure enough, after only half a pillar of incense, she found the right place.
The small grave has been dug up, and the pit where the cloud chief had been lying is still there.
In fact, Shui Qingxiang also suspected that Yun Daochang was not a victim. In comparison, he is the real murderer who killed the old bustard.
But why did he do it?
If he did, why was he buried in a pit again?
And all kinds of information show that the murderer could not have committed the crime alone. Yahuan of Yichun Courtyard said that the old bustard escaped with Yun Daochang, which proves that Yun Daochang was not the murderer who killed directly at the beginning, but why did he give up his allies, but chose to let the murderer kill the old bustard and help her break her body.
Shui Qingxiang has a lot of doubts in her heart that need to be answered one by one.
She walked straight into the pit and lay down calmly, wanting to feel what it was like to be in it.
Suddenly, she saw something, and suddenly she had a sudden feeling of enlightenment.
