After the autopsy was over, Shen Lian took off the special gloves, walked out of it, and told them everything he knew, and after saying that, he also asked Chu Xi to send someone out to investigate, to see if there were any people who had disappeared in the past few days, or if the people in the family had not come back for a long time, if so, let them come to the county office to identify the body.

If this is true, then the identity of the deceased can basically be determined.

Before sending someone, Chu Xi raised a question.

"This corpse appeared on the firewood stack of the peasant woman's house, could it be related to their family?" Without waiting for Shen Lian to speak, Yin Chen directly denied his speculation.

"Absolutely not, if it was really her family who did it, wouldn't it be a little too stupid for the peasant woman to take the initiative to report to the official? And, if that man's death really had something to do with them, why did they use their own firewood stacks? Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the darkness and high wind in the night to use someone else's house to cover all this? Shen Lian nodded, indicating that she agreed with his guess.

This is indeed the case, this should not have much to do with the peasant woman's family, it should be deliberately done.

Although it is still uncertain who the murderer is, Shen Lian can basically determine that the murderer should not be particularly far away from the peasant woman's house, maybe it is someone near her house.

Because in this era, there are not many means of transportation, and occasionally some families have cows and horses.

However, if they are used to transport corpses, they can be easily exposed if they make a noise, especially at night when it is relatively quiet.

Therefore, if the murderer transports the body, he must rely on his own strength, and it can be concluded that the murderer should be a man.

But the deceased is also a relatively burly kind, if the murderer is a person, it is still quite laborious to carry it, so he must not live particularly far, he should live in a place close to the peasant woman's house, and know the surrounding environment, and know the firewood stack in that place.

However, although this is a speculation, there is no way to determine who the deceased is, so there is no way to investigate.

After determining the identity of the deceased first, and then investigating the people he came into contact with, the real murderer should be found.

Soon the catcher returned with someone, and one woman said that her husband had left home a few days ago and had not returned, and that he had not been contacted, and that he did not know where he had gone.

After hearing this, Shen Lian asked directly, "Do you remember what characteristics your husband has?" "High, with a very straight nose and big eyes, and then ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Lian.

"The corpse has been burned so that you can't see the features you mentioned, so let's talk about something else, like what kind of clothes you wore when you left."

"I was wearing gray clothes and black shoes when I left, and I don't remember the rest."

"That shouldn't be."

Shen Lian said directly.

After hearing this answer, the woman was a little unhappy, "What do you mean no?" You didn't even let me see it, how can you conclude that it's not? "Because I feel that your husband must have been fine, otherwise, how could you not be sad at all?" One sentence directly made the woman suddenly not know what to say, and stood there awkwardly.

Shen Lian looked at her, and always felt that she was a little strange, as if she really wanted the dead person to be her husband, although she said that she had come to identify the body, but there was no sad look, she didn't look like a person who had lost her husband at all, and she seemed to be quite happy.

Just as Shen Lian was thinking about this, another catcher walked in with an elderly lady.

"Miss Shen, this lady said that her son has been gone for three days, and she doesn't know where she went, and she can't be contacted, I think she is very anxious, so I will take her back to see it first, and let her identify it first."

"Do you remember what kind of clothes your son wore when he left?" The eldest lady nodded worriedly, "Remember, when he left, I remember that he should have been wearing gray clothes, and his shoes were black, and his figure was relatively strong, slightly fat, but it was not particularly obvious, very tall, quite easy to identify, after all, there are relatively few people as tall as him here." ”

These words made Shen Lian's heart have a question, how could it be the same as the woman described just now? Is this just a coincidence, or is there some secret behind it? In a short period of time, she was a little puzzled.

Shen Lian didn't continue to think about it, and directly took the eldest mother into it and asked her to identify whether the deceased was her son.

After walking in, as soon as she saw the charred and unrecognizable corpse, the eldest lady's tears poured out at once, but she tried her best to restrain herself and did not force herself to make a bitter voice.

After sensing her mood swings, Shen Lian took out the fragments of clothes left on the back of the corpse and said softly, "This is the clothes he wore before he died, you can see if it is your son." ”

The eldest lady's eyes fell on the gray rag, and after a little hesitation, she nodded slowly, and her voice became choked.

"Yes, it's my son."

Douda's tears fell uncontrollably, but she didn't make any cries from beginning to end.

Shen Lian knew that she was trying her best to control herself, maybe because there were outsiders, or because of other reasons, so that she had no way to vent her sad feelings.

After taking the eldest lady to sit next to her, Shen Lian tried her best to appease her, knowing that her emotions were gradually eased, and then she began to ask.

"When exactly did your son leave home and not go back?" "It was yesterday during the day, he often goes out to play during the day, and I didn't ask about the specifics, but I didn't expect that the good people would be gone."

At this point, her emotions began to get a little out of control again.

Although before she came, the catcher who went to inquire had already roughly explained the situation, but in the face of the death of her own son, she still had no way to accept it.

"Then among the people he usually comes into contact with, do you have any grievances with him, or do you have any interests?" "I don't know."

There was almost no hesitation, and the eldest lady blurted out directly.

She can be said to know nothing about her son's affairs, not because she is not a mother, but because her son has always hidden it from her, no matter what she asks, it is perfunctory and never said.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Shen Lian sent her out, and asked the unfast one who brought her just now to send her back.

When she came out, the woman who came just now was gone, and Shen Lian searched for it and made sure that the person should have left.

"What about the first woman who just came?" Chu Xi shook his head, "After the eldest lady came, she left." ”

"You sent someone to find the woman who came just now, she just described the clothes worn by the corpse as exactly the same as the deceased, and insisted that the deceased was her husband, but she didn't look sad at all."

After hearing this, Chu Xi looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with that woman?" "That's right."

Shen Lian nodded, "If you say that your husband is dead and you don't feel sad and sad, it may not have much emotion, but the description is exactly the same as the deceased, which is a bit of a problem." ”

"Okay."

Since the deceased's mother did not know anything about his usual whereabouts, she could only start the investigation with some friends that the deceased had contacted before his death.

The deceased's name is Xue Guiqiang, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old, he is still not married, he depends on his mother for his life, he usually has no job, and he relies on his mother to farm to raise him.

This Xue Guiqiang is a gnawing old clan in modern society, but Shen Lian didn't expect that this kind of person would appear in such an early era.

Relying on this information alone will not help the case at all.

So, Shen Lian decided to take a look around his house, maybe he could learn some information from the neighbors around him, maybe it would help the case.
