After examining the corpse, Shen Lian washed her hands, and then directly asked Chu Xi to arrange Sister Qiao and the peasant woman to separate rooms to send people to guard them.

The two of them didn't understand why they were separated, and now they were in the yamen, and even if they were reluctant, they could only do it.

After washing his hands and drinking another cup of tea, Shen Lian went directly to see the peasant woman.

After all, the two of her lyricists are just neighbors, and when she was at the scene, her whole state and demeanor were still relatively normal, and there was nothing strange about it.

So there are some things that need to be asked carefully to see if he really has nothing to do with this case, and you have to determine first.

After the door was pushed open, seeing Shen Lian walking in, the peasant woman hurriedly walked to the door and asked, "Miss Shen doesn't understand, what do you want to ask when you brought me and Sister Qiao over?" ”

"I want to ask you how your body was found."

After hearing this, the peasant woman briefly explained.

"At that time, I was going to pick some vegetables in the field and go home to make steamed buns to eat, but I found that the ground was a little dry, so I didn't want to water, so I went directly to Sister Qiao's house, and I wanted to draw water from the well after talking to her, but I didn't expect that the bucket went down and couldn't touch the water, as if it was blocked by something, I pulled the bucket up and saw that there was a person lying below and startled me, so I called Sister Qiao directly."

After hearing this, Shen Lian nodded thoughtfully, the basic situation has been understood, if this peasant woman is not lying, then it seems that she has nothing to do with this matter.

If this person's death really had anything to do with her, she knew that there was a body in the well, and still insisted on going to fetch water, wasn't she waiting to be discovered? It is entirely possible to delay for a little longer.

Now that it's hot, even if it's in the water, it won't take a few days to rot, so Shen Lian deduced that she probably has nothing to do with this case.

Even so, you can't make your attitude too obvious.

"So, you're the first person to find a body, right?" The peasant woman nodded, "Yes, I was frightened when I found the corpse, and hurriedly ran over to tell Sister Qiao that she still didn't believe it, and came with me to take a look, and found that the body inside belonged to her husband." ”

"Are you saying that when she saw the corpse at that time, she immediately recognized that the person in the well was her husband?" Shen Lian asked again.

"Yes, when she ran over, she saw her husband's body appear in the well and cried directly, I was also very surprised, I didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, and I was a little at a loss, and then the two of us went directly to the government to report to the official."

After she said these words, Shen Lian directly asked what she had felt particularly confused before.

"Then you found the body for the first time, why didn't you see that the dead person was Sister Qiao's husband? I remember you said before that your two families are neighbors, just a wall apart and you don't see anyone looking down, and you often meet someone who knows you so well, why don't you recognize it? Hearing this, she thought she was doubting herself, and the peasant woman hurriedly began to defend herself.

"Miss Zheng, you don't doubt that I did this, do you? Brother Zhuangzi is very good, he has helped my family a lot before, how could I do such a thing? Shen Lian briefly explained the reason why he just said that.

"I'm not saying that you have anything to do with that person's death, I just think it's a little strange, why didn't you recognize it directly at the time, the corpse in the well is what you call Brother Zhuangzi?"

"Because the body was facing downward, lying in the water, and there was no clothes on it, I couldn't tell who the person really was."

Although the peasant woman farmed for a living and had not read much, after she said this, she suddenly realized a very serious problem, raised her head suspiciously, looked at Shen Lian and said.

"It's indeed a little strange, I didn't know who the person was at that time, but after Sister Qiao went to the well and looked inside, she directly determined that the person in there was Brother Zhuangzi."

After hearing this, Shen Lian laughed directly.

It seems that Sister Qiao's suspicion is getting bigger and bigger, and we will see how she justifies all this in a while, and whether she can find a reasonable explanation.

The words that should be asked have been asked, and Shen Lian was ready to let the peasant woman go directly, but he still told her before letting her go.

"What I asked you just now and everything related to this matter, don't leak it out until this matter is completely resolved, otherwise you will be responsible for any impact."

The peasant woman nodded busily, she has always been a cautious person, and she doesn't like to chew her tongue behind people's backs, and she still understands this truth.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut, I won't tell this matter, then Sister Qiao's side ......" The peasant woman wanted to speak and stopped, even if the latter words were not spoken, but Shen Lian also understood what she wanted to express.

"I still have something to ask her in a while, you go back by yourself first, and no one should mention this matter recently."

After repeated instructions, Shen Lian directly asked her to go back first.

The reason why she asked like that was because she felt that this case should not be so simple, and it seemed that there was another layer of hidden secrets, but so far they have not found out.

Therefore, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, I must tell the peasant woman if she leaks anything, and let her resolutely not go out and talk nonsense.

Because during the autopsy, Shen Lian found another obvious knife wound on the heart of the corpse, and at first thought it was the cause of the deceased's death.

The impact of this knife wound was so great that it took so much effort that it bled profusely, and I thought that this was the real cause of death of the deceased.

However, after further autopsy, it was found that the deceased had died of asphyxiation.

All this does not seem to be too much of a problem, and the reasoning is very reasonable, but this knife wound is not the strength that a woman can have.

After all, he is a strong man, and he has enough strength to stab this knife directly into it.

But Sister Qiao's whole person is relatively thin, even if she is allowed to stab it hard, I am afraid there is no way to have such strength.

Shen Lian suspected that there should be another suspect in this case, so she kept telling the peasant woman not to make a public announcement of this matter, for fear that another person would take the opportunity to run away after hearing the news, and even if she knew the truth, it would be impossible to catch someone.

After the peasant woman left, Shen Lian came directly to Sister Qiao's room.

As soon as she came in, Sister Qiao stared at her with a pair of eyes, and she was very angry and displeased.

"So what do you want to do after I've been locked up for so long? Now that my husband is dead, you know how sad I feel in my heart? If you do this to me, you don't suspect that my husband's death has something to do with me, right? As soon as she heard this, Shen Lian laughed directly.

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to say this, it really surprised me, do you want not to confess?" These words made Sister Qiao stunned for a moment, and her originally arrogant arrogance eased somewhat.

"What do you mean? Do you still want to do something to me, do you want to make a move? The man who died was my husband, so how could I, as a wife, kill him? "Actually, when I came in just now, I didn't even have anything, and it was Sister Qiao who started to talk about herself.

Maybe she wants to play a more pitiful role, but it is obvious that she is a little too naïve, if she is a man, she may have pity for her, but pretending in front of Shen Lian is useless at all, but it proves that her heart is already panicked.

"Whether your husband's death has anything to do with you, you know very well in your heart, you don't need to quibble with me so much here, I just need you to answer me a question, if you can give me a reasonable explanation, I will let you leave without saying a word, but if you can't explain clearly, then I'm sorry, you can only stay in prison and accept our next interrogation."
