Chapter 17: The True Murderer Emerges
At that moment, Shui Qingxiang was a little hesitant, but she saw the woman's eager gaze and Huzi's kind smiling face, and let down her guard for a while.
Pick up the beautiful teacup and drink it.
After seeing Shui Qingxiang drink the water, Huzi's mother looked a lot more relaxed, and slowly said to Shui Qingxiang: "We just moved here two years ago, this place is in the middle of nowhere, few people pass by, if you say that there were any suspicious people a few days ago, there are really two." ”
Shui Qingxiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, with a little joy on her face, feeling that she had encountered a new clue in the case, and hurriedly asked, "What suspicious person?" Tell me more about it. ”
"The other night, two people passed by here, and I saw a man and a woman. The man was wearing a robe, and the woman was carrying a burden, and the two walked in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry. Huzi's mother said unhurriedly.
"Have you seen anyone else?" According to Shui Qingxiang's guess, in addition to Yun Daoist and Lao Bustard, there should be a third person, and that person is very likely to be the murderer.
"Someone else may have seen it...... It's just that you may not hear it......" The woman took a step towards Mizuharuka, the expression on her face was a little strange, and she looked at her with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
Suddenly, Shui Qingxiang felt that her head was a little dizzy, and her vision began to blur.
"This tea ......" Although Shui Qingxiang was a little suspicious before, she thought that this orphan and widow were unlikely to be bad people, but she didn't expect that it was her kindness that harmed her.
It's a pity that there is no mobile phone these days, and there is not even a messenger......
Shui Qingxiang was complaining in her heart, on the one hand, she blamed herself for being too careless, and on the other hand, she sighed that she was too unlucky, and she finally caught up with the county magistrate, as long as she solved this serial murder case, she could be a fast catcher, but it was a pity that she ......
Shui Qingxiang didn't have time to think about it, so she fell to the ground with black eyes.
When she woke up again, her hands and feet had been tied with ropes and thrown into the corner of the room like rice dumplings.
Huzi sat in the courtyard, looking at the room from time to time with a worried expression, it seemed that he had been told by his mother, worried that Shui Qingxiang would escape, and asked him to guard in the courtyard.
Shui Qingxiang glanced around, but did not see Huzi's mother.
By now, it's been seen.
The mother and son who live in the wilderness are not as harmless as they seem, and Qiu Hu's mother is very likely to know the murderer, or she may be the murderer.
Mizuharuka even had a bold speculation in her heart, but she didn't have a chance to be confirmed, and the most important thing now was how to escape from here.
Shui Qingxiang turned her head and looked at Qiu Hu who was breaking corn alone in the yard, although she had not been seeing this child for a long time, Shui Qingxiang felt that he might be different from his mother, at least he was kind to himself before his mother came.
The only way to do this is to gamble and see if you can succeed in convincing Huzi.
"Huzi, is your mother going out again?"
Qiu Hu ignored him.
"Huzi, do you know who your mother is?"
Huzi still ignored him.
"Qiu Hu, your mother is wrong to do this! If she refuses to let me go, when the county magistrate knows about it in the future, she will be even more guilty! ”
"Don't speak ill of my mother, my mother is not a bad person." Huzi, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth under the inducement of Shui Qingxiang.
"Do you know that your mother is in collusion with the murderer? She didn't report it, and even hid it for the murderer, and now she's keeping me here, these are all capital crimes. Shui Qingxiang said bitterly, hoping to convince the child at the last moment.
Although Huzi is still young, he also has a distinction between right and wrong, hearing Shui Qingxiang's words, a little embarrassment flashed on his face, and he bit his lip and said, "I...... I don't know what you're talking about. My mother wants me to look at you, you can wait for my mother to come. ”
"Huzi, your mother may have been used by bad people, but you tied me here, it was a mistake on top of a mistake......"
Before Shui Qingxiang's words were finished, she saw two people walking in the courtyard: "What's wrong and wrong?" What nonsense are you talking to my son? ”
Qiu Hu's mother had a strong disgust on her face, as well as a trace of anger and disdain, Shui Qingxiang didn't know where her disgust for herself came from, anyway, looking at her face, she knew that she was very unhappy with herself.
There was also an old man who walked in with her, thin and small, but in good spirits, Shui Qingxiang looked at that face and felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
Maybe the man was also a resident of the town, or maybe he was a customer who had passed by and never remembered who he was.
The old man walked in, glanced at Shui Qingxiang's body, turned his face and said to Qiu Hu Niang: "The matter is almost done, what's the use of you keeping her here at this time?" ”
Qiu Hu Niang, who was still disgusted with herself just now, didn't expect to be extremely respectful to this old man, "She found out about us, and she came to ask me, I can only stun her and lock her up here, otherwise, ...... Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll be bad for you. ”
The old man said with great confidence: "My plan is seamless, only one last process is missing, and we can leave here with our things." As for her, it's just a little more trouble. ”
"Then she ......," the woman looked at the old man, as if she were listening to the old man's command.
The old man had a gloomy face and said expressionlessly, "Bury it." ”
Shui Qingxiang's heart sank, and she suddenly felt a chill in her back, and a sense of fear swept through her body.
If she hadn't guessed, the old man in front of her was the mastermind of several serial murders in Dongzi County, and the woman might also be a participant.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. It's a pity that she finally got the clues of the case, but she had to lose her life immediately, which was really unlucky.
Perhaps afraid that the tiger in the courtyard would hear it, the old man deliberately lowered his voice and said to the woman in the room: "Just bury it in the forest in front of you, don't let the tiger see it, I will go with you!" ”
The woman nodded, went back to the room, brought tools, and planned to bury Shui Qingxiang alive.
"Wait a minute, you want me to die, at least let me be a ghost, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't let you go when I get to the underworld. Let me ask you, did you do the previous murders? Shui Qingxiang asked unwillingly.
The old man's eyes showed a sly gaze, and he sneered, "You're not stupid, you can actually find here." You must know that this place is very remote, and I was afraid that it would affect their mother and son, and even the footprints were cleared, but I didn't expect you to find this place. ”
"Yes, I killed those people. But I don't regret killing them at all, because they deserve to die! There was a faint hatred in the old man's eyes, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.
