Chapter 238: New Homicide 2
Song Qing expressed his understanding, if this is the case, this matter is a little complicated, and the case is also a little difficult to solve.
As a servant, as a criminal officer, it is his duty to solve the case, no matter how big the case is, he must find it out, otherwise, I am sorry for this official uniform.
"Old man, in that case, can you wait for us to go to the scene of the crime and have a look, which is the location where your grandson was killed.
The old woman was so sad that she couldn't walk anymore, the old man stumbled to his feet and walked forward, Song Qing followed him, walked out of the village slowly, and then walked on a barren mountain.
There were no crops planted on the top of the mountain, it was just a bush of grass, and the grass was drying up, almost a little bit.
Before he got closer, Song Qing saw a place that had been trampled on, and it was a mess, I don't know if it was deliberately left by the murderer when he committed the murder, or when he took the doll's corpse away.
"Lord Song, it's here, my grandson was killed here by this animal, Lord Song, you have to make the decision for us, my grandson, he can't be killed for no reason!"
"I can't live long with this old bone, but I don't want my grandson to die for no reason, and when the time comes, the old man and I will die, and I won't be reconciled.
Song Qing came to the scene of the crime and carefully checked in the dirt and wild grass, there was no blood on the ground, and there was no murder weapon left.
Judging from the footprints, it is now impossible to distinguish, large and small are all overlapped together, even if the gods go down to earth, they can't do it.
At the same time, the surrounding mountains are very high, and it is very difficult for a strong man to climb the mountain, why would a young doll come here? Did he come up on purpose by someone, or was he killed by someone on a sudden outburst of evil when he came up?
Song Qing didn't know this at all.
It is possible that this place is not the first scene, and it cannot be ruled out that the body was dumped here after being killed. "Old man, I want to know when your grandson was discovered, and I also want to know if he was at home every day before this. In other words, did your grandson not come home all night before he died?"
The old man said: "The body was found the afternoon before yesterday, and at the same time, although my grandson is old and young, he is at home every day and has never failed to come home."
Song Qing nodded, "Then when he went out to play before, did he tell you where you were going?"
"No.... No, my lord, I think this thing is strange too, there must be a reason to kill someone, there must be a reason, right?"
Song Qing nodded and continued to look near the front, expecting to find a lot of clues, but he was disappointed, there was nothing left here, which shows that the murderer may be a person with a lot of experience.
After watching it for a long time, Song Qing turned around and left, and now he still has many questions that he hasn't figured out, such as who first discovered the deceased.
The old man had fallen to the ground crying, he was very sad and helpless, and he was extremely angry with the murderer.
Song Qing looked at him, "Old man, there is one more question I want to know, that is, in this case, who first discovered your grandson's body?"
"This... It seems to be a blind man who raises cattle in the village, he only has one eye, and he found it when he went up the mountain to cut the grass, so he came to inform me, and then the old man I went to inform the people of the yamen. ”
Song Qing understood, so under the leadership of everyone, they returned, ready to go to this blind man to ask for an understanding.
When walking in a corner of the village, under the guidance of the old man, Song Qing finally saw this blind man, only about forty years old, a bachelor, who loved to joke with the deceased on weekdays, and the relationship was good.
Song Qing looked at him and opened his mouth.
"You are Zhao Blind, you are the criminal officer of the Great Song Dynasty, there are a few questions that need to be asked of you about this case. I don't know if I can tell me more about the situation at that time. Zhao Blind sat on the stone next to him, his face was not very good-looking, his face was dark, as if he had not yet come out of this blow.
"My lord, if you have any questions, just ask, anyway, I'm very sad that this doll is dead, I wish you could arrest this murderer." Song Qing snorted and opened his mouth.
"I heard you found the dead at the time? Was it the first scene you went to? And then you came back to inform the family of the deceased? Is this case right?"
He nodded, very crisply.
"My lord, this is indeed the case, I was carrying a bamboo basket to the mountain to cut the grass, but who knows where I went to the mountain to find where the big baby died, I was very frightened at that time, and hurriedly ran back.
"As for the rest of the matter, my lord, I believe you actually understand, and then everyone went to the scene of the crime, as well as the people from the yamen."
"My lord, do you doubt me in this case? I have a good relationship with the baby, on weekdays, I come out to play together, once there is anything delicious, I give him a taste, it can be said that I like this doll very much, you can't wronged me.
Song Qingdao: "I didn't wronged you, but as a criminal officer, I must figure out this case, otherwise, wouldn't I be worthy of this official position?"
The old man was still crying, Song Ci looked in all directions, and then said, "Blind Zhao, I want to see how about your family-like cow?"
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the house, Song Qing followed behind.
When he came to the cattle pen, Song Qing saw that this buffalo was sturdy, it was an adult buffalo, and it was still eating grass on the ground at the moment.
When it saw the stranger coming, it hummed a few times, but it did not look particularly frightened, but continued to eat with its head down.
"My lord, I have been raising this cow for several years, and I rely on plowing the fields for people on weekdays, and I can earn it after a year. At that point, it can be regarded as not eating well and not starving to death.
Song Qingdao: "On weekdays, there is only a period of time when you plough the fields in a year, Zhao is blind, do you do nothing else except plough the fields?"
He hummed and said: "Yes, my lord, this is not easy to use, and at the same time he is forty years old, you said that you want to learn some craft, but it is too late, so now I can only earn some hard-earned money." Song Qing nodded in understanding, looked at it for a while at the moment, and then walked out.
Here, he didn't find anything, at least no useful clues.
However, the only doubt is, why would a teenage doll run to such a desolate place to play?
At the same time, the possibility of being dumped is still very high, but at the moment he does not know the identity of the murderer.
Leaving the village, the sky has already darkened, the two of them are going to the nearest county seat to find an inn to live in, tomorrow, to the county office to inquire about the situation. On the way, Tang Yueyue said, "My lord, how much do you know about this case?" Can the identity of the murderer be identified at this time? Or can you find this clue?
Song Qing obviously couldn't answer this question, and he was thinking in his mind, if it was his father, how would he judge this case? .
However, before there is no absolute evidence, they dare not draw conclusions! It can be seen that this case is a homicide, including the son and daughter-in-law of the old man before, and the murderer may be the same person.
This also excludes the suspicion of some vagrant crimes, and the murderer may have lived in the vicinity.
"Okay Miss Yueyue, let's go to the inn about this issue, Song Mou has been hungry for a long time, and he can't think of a problem now."
They continued on their journey, and at last they came to an inn before nightfall, gave silver to open two rooms, and ordered Xiao Er to bring some food.
In the house, soon the fragrant food was already served on the table, and the two began to eat.
"Miss Yueyue, tell me your opinion on this matter, maybe your opinion will have some effect on Song."
Tang Yueyue put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "My lord, I think this case was committed by an acquaintance, because the old man's son and daughter-in-law were killed, how big is this?" Or maybe the family once said something that offended people, but they didn't know it. ”
Song Qing also felt that there was this possibility, and there was no evidence for all of this at present, and all the clues had to be looked for little by little.
"My lord, how likely do you think this blind man Zhao is to be a murderer? I always feel that some of his situations are acted, not like he is particularly sad. ”
"For example, when he took us into the house to see the cows, I always felt as if he was deliberately pretending to be sad, and I always felt that something was wrong."
Song Qingdao: "What's wrong?" Although the deceased said that the doll and him were only from the same village, was there a blood relationship between them, so why should they be sad?"
"Miss Yueyue, I think you seem to be worrying too much about this matter, although this blind Zhao is the first person to be found at the scene, it does not mean that he is the murderer, and at the same time, he went to the mountain to cut the grass All this is reasonable, there is nothing to doubt!"
Tang Yueyue was still a little worried, "But my lord, having said that, I still have some doubts about him, this case is complicated, since we don't have any special clues, why don't we open a gap from this blind Zhao." ”
Song Qing thought for a while, it's not that there are no clues now, but that they haven't been found, and Zhao is blind doesn't mean that there is no business for him.
"Miss Yueyue, in that case, then you and I will look at it like this, but you have to believe me that in some cases, the more fierce the person, the less likely it is to be a murderer, but some people with a loving face will not escape responsibility in the end."
The two hurriedly ate food, Tang Yueyue also returned to the house to rest, and on the second day, the two got up from bed early in the morning, ate food and went to the yamen].
"My lord, today we have to see if there are any clues in this yamen, if not, then everything will not be in order, but as long as this magistrate has some ability, it is estimated that it will not be like this.
