Chapter Ninety-Three: Exposing Yourself
After getting this answer she wanted to hear, the corners of Shen Lian's mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, she already knew who the murderer of this case was.
No matter how deep he hides it, he will still expose himself from some words and deeds, which can directly prove that the murderer is him.
She looked directly at Chu Xi and said, "Now send someone to quickly arrest the boatman back, he is the murderer!" Seeing her so sworn affirmation, Chu Xi felt very strange for a while, "Why are you so sure?" He ...... "Before he could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Shen Lian.
"It's too late to explain so much now, you quickly send someone to arrest him back, I'm afraid that he will take the opportunity to escape again, as for the reason, when he comes, I will explain it to you well."
She was so confident, which also made Yin Chen feel a little strange.
Although he did think that in this case, the suspicion on the boatman was very large, and all kinds of circumstances and reasons were very convenient, but there was a very important point missing, that is, evidence.
However, looking at Shen Lian's attitude, she should have already grasped some kind of clue, otherwise, her attitude would definitely not suddenly become stronger, he was a little curious, he didn't know what she had discovered, and he was already looking forward to it in his heart.
Soon the boatman was taken back to the county office, and as soon as he entered, he knelt down directly, looked at Chu Xi respectfully and said, "See the prefect, I don't know why the lord came to me?" ”
"It's for Zhang Sheng's disappearance."
Hearing this, the boatman nodded and replied, "I already know about this matter, and I have helped to find it, but I have not found anyone so far, and I don't know where he has gone." ”
"Didn't you see him that day?" Shen Lian suddenly asked.
The boatman turned his head to look at her, then shook his head, "No, I was sleeping at the time, and I never saw him." ”
Shen Lian was not surprised by such an answer, but suddenly laughed.
"That's really weird, where do you think other people can go? With so many silver taels, it must have been robbed by someone, right? ”
"This ...... How is it possible......" Listening to the conversation between Shen Lian and the boatman, Chu Xi was a little confused, wasn't she full of confidence just now? I thought she had some clues, why did she suddenly ask the boatman again? Without further thought, he began to listen earnestly again.
Because he knows very well that Shen Lian is not a reckless person, and she naturally has a reason to do anything, and she will never do meaningless things.
In the face of the boatman who answered like a stream, he didn't even have any sluggishness, which made Shen Lian doubt him even more.
In other words, it was the previous woman and Ali, when the two of them were talking about things, they would have many times of stuck, but he was very fluent, which illustrated a very important issue, which had been thought about many times before.
It is precisely because of this that he will answer without any pause, and he will speak in one go.
Sometimes being too perfect is not a good thing, but it is easy to expose yourself.
Even if he doesn't make a mistake, Shen Lian has a way to let his psychological defense line slowly collapse and expose himself little by little.
"Now it is basically possible to conclude that Zhang Sheng is dead, but the things he was carrying, as well as his body, are gone, where do you think the murderer will hide it?" Suddenly asked like this, the boatman was a little unexpected, his expression was extremely unnatural, and he shook his head in embarrassment.
"How do I know that? I don't know. ”
When he said this, he subconsciously lowered his head and avoided his eyes, which was obviously a sign of weakness.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Shen Lian's mouth hooked, and he began to talk to himself again, without paying attention to his reaction.
"I think, those dry food and clothes and other things that Zhang Sheng carried will definitely be thrown away, but those silver murderers will stay, after all, this should be the main purpose of the murderer's killing, naturally it is impossible to give up, but now there is a very important question left, that is, Zhang Sheng's body, where will the murderer hide it?" At this point, she paused deliberately and crouched down to observe the boatman's expression.
"Maybe it's hidden in the field? But if someone is passing by, it will be easy to spot.
Or maybe it's hidden in the mountains? But dragging the corpse up the hill is easy to find, and it is a bit unlikely that it will be simply hidden under something thatch or something, because after the corpse decomposes in the hot weather, it will still be found. ”
"Then, there is only one possibility, that is, to throw the corpse into the lake, so that no one will find it, and if the corpse stays in the water for a long time, even if it is decomposed, it will quickly be decomposed and shared by the fish and shrimp inside."
After these words blurted out, the boatman looked up at Shen Lian in disbelief.
His face was full of bewilderment, incredulous, how could she know all this? It's as if I was at the scene at the time, and I saw it with my own eyes.
But when he did it at that time, he was very sure that there was no one at that time, so how would she know? No matter what, the boatman knew that he had no way to admit it, so he could only firmly guard this secret that could not be disclosed, and once it was discovered, he would definitely have no place to die.
He tried his best to keep his expression calm, looked at Shen Lian and nodded.
"It seems a little bit of a possibility, but I've been on the boat all along, and I haven't noticed anyone on the beach, so it's unlikely, right? Moreover, even if the corpse is thrown into the water, it will float up, is it that the corpse has floated away? "If he can start to refute himself, he is the first step in starting to expose himself.
Shen Lian was very satisfied with his reaction and began to analyze the matter with him.
"There's some truth to that, but don't forget, you were sleeping, even if someone was passing by, you know? Also, the problem you talked about later, throwing the corpse directly into the water, it is indeed possible to float, I think since the murderer chooses to throw the corpse, he will definitely make all preparations, just let the corpse in the water, once the corpse floats to the shore, it will still be discovered, so the murderer has to think of something else. ”
The boatman knowingly asked, "What will you do?" Could it be that the murderer would still manipulate the corpse? At this time, Yin Chen, who was standing on the side, walked out, looked at the boatman and said with a smile, "It may not work to control the corpse, but it is still possible to control the corpse, I think the murderer should have tied a huge stone to the corpse's body, so that the corpse will always sink in the water and there is no way to float." ”
"That's right."
Shen Lian took the words, and her eyes fell on the boatman, "Are you sure you didn't see anyone that day, didn't hear any sound?" The reason why she asked this was actually to give him a chance to quibble.
Anyway, he will make his own excuse after a while, so it is better to give him this excuse now, let him say it himself first, and then directly puncture it, wouldn't it be more interesting? The game of cat and mouse needs to be played slowly to be interesting, and if you catch the mouse directly, you will lose the fun.
Seeing that she had said this, the boatman began to climb up the pole.
"I really didn't seem to see people, but I did hear something, it seemed to be the sound of throwing something into the water, because I didn't sleep well the night before, so I didn't get up when I heard this sound, let alone take it seriously, and I remembered it when you said this."
After listening to what he said, Shen Lian didn't hold back and laughed directly.
I really didn't expect that he would be able to come up with such a ridiculous excuse, and it was really stupid.
For this kind of stupid person, there is no point in playing games, and the IQ is too powerful, that is, the meaning of the game is lost.
Not wanting to continue this game anymore, Shen Lian looked at him directly and asked, "It's already this time, aren't you going to admit it?" The boatman looked at her unsuspectingly, not understanding what she meant.
