Chapter 8: Preliminary Investigation of Homicides
Mengyun asked Liuzhu, "You mean to say that the black shadow you saw is the murderer who killed Chun Tao?" ”
Liuzhu nodded and said, "Chun Tao was killed last night, and I just saw a black shadow in the courtyard again, how can this not make people suspicious?" ”
Mengyun said: "This black shadow is indeed very suspicious, can you tell if this black shadow is a man or a woman at that time?" ”
Liuzhu shook his head and said, "I can't see it, that black shadow was standing behind a tree at the time, and it was a big night, so I really couldn't see it clearly." ”
Mengyun asked, "Do you suspect that the black shadow is Liu Dazhu?" ”
Liuzhu nodded, she analyzed it carefully, and said, "Last night was Aunt Feng's birthday. After the store closed, all the sisters and maids celebrated Aunt Feng in the front building. I saw that dark shadow when I was taking hairpins for Chun Tao, and there shouldn't have been anyone in my sisters' yard during that time. Even if there was a sister or maid in the yard at the time, there was no need for her to stand behind a tree in a sneaky way. So, I think that dark shadow must be a man, to be exact, some kind of guy in the backyard. And Liu Dazhu often pesters Chun Tao, so I suspect that the black shadow is him, and there is a certain reason. I thought that Liu Dazhu must have seen that I forgot to lock the door, so he sneaked into Chun Tao's room. After he went in, he should have hidden somewhere, waiting for Chun Tao to come back. ”
I have to admit that the analysis of the beads is really reasonable. It's just that this speculation is not necessarily true, because there is no evidence that the black shadow is Liu Dazhu.
Mengyun asked Liuzhu: "You are very familiar with Chun Tao's room, where do you think the murderer should be hiding?" ”
Liuzhu shook his head lightly and said, "This is not good, it is possible under the bed, behind the door, and on the beams of the house." ”
Mengyun nodded and said, "Perhaps, the murderer entered during the time when you forgot to lock the door. ”
Dongmei asked Mengyun: "Is the murderer really Liu Dazhu?" ”
Mengyun replied: "It's hard to say now, what Liuzhu said is just speculation." ”
Aunt Feng asked Mengyun: "Why don't I bring Liu Dazhu here for questioning?" ”
Mengyun shook his head and said, "No, we don't have any evidence to prove that the person who secretly entered Chun Tao's room is him, everything that is said now is speculation." Even if he had been found, he would not admit it. ”
Aunt Feng looked at Mengyun carefully for a while, and said, "Little girl, didn't your father do fast catchers before?" ”
Mengyun's face was full of doubts and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Aunt Feng looked forward to it and asked, "Can you find out the murderer who killed Chun Tao?" ”
Mengyun replied: "It's the government's business to find the murderer, how can I find the murderer?" ”
Aunt Feng sighed, and said weakly: "That Zhao Tianyou is a person in the palace who sits in that position, how can he have the ability to investigate the case!" He knows how to collect cashiers and does not do anything. He has now pushed the case to me and asked me to find the murderer myself. As for me, I can only entrust you, if you have the ability to find the murderer, I will give you the 'deed of sale', and how about returning your free body? Of course, if you are willing to stay, I will definitely repay you well, and you can mention any conditions, and I will try my best to satisfy you. ”
The temptation of the 'deed of sale' is too great for Mengyun, and if he gets back the 'deed of sale', he will no longer be a slave. In the future, you can go wherever you want, and you will no longer be constrained. It's just that this 'deed of sale' is not so easy to get back, and you have to find the murderer who killed Chun Tao. Mengyun used to listen to Abba's case-handling stories at home, and she had no experience in handling cases in person, and she was not sure to find the murderer. However, she still wants to give it a try, because it is her dream to be a female catcher and find the murderer quickly. It's a rare opportunity to exercise, so why not grab it?
Thinking of this, Mengyun nodded.
Still, she left room for words, "Okay, I'll try." However, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find the murderer, and if I can't find the murderer, don't blame me, and you have to promise me a few conditions first. ”
Hearing Mengyun say this, Aunt Feng's eyes lit up. She hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?" You say. ”
Mengyun thought for a while, "First, from today onwards, give me freedom to go wherever I want." ”
Aunt Feng interrupted her, "You can go outside for a walk, but you can't leave Shengdu City!" ”
Mengyun nodded and continued, "Second, bring me ten taels of silver for use." ”
Aunt Feng said: "This is no problem, I will give you twenty taels in a while." ”
"Third, all the people in the 'Fengyue Tower' must unconditionally cooperate with my investigation in an all-round way."
Aunt Feng nodded, "This should be, I will order it in a while, and let everyone cooperate with you." ”
"Fourth, I want Ziyan and Sister Dongmei to be my helpers."
Aunt Feng said, "Well, you should find two helpers." ”
"Fifth, go and show me the post-mortem sheet that I made."
Aunt Feng said, "I'll go and ask you for it in person in a while." ”
"Sixth, give me the key to Chun Tao's room, and I'll go in and check it at any time."
Aunt Feng said to Liuzhu, "You give her the key." ”
Liuzhu reluctantly took out the key and handed it to Mengyun.
Mengyun took it in his hand, but a question rose in his heart, "Chun Tao is dead, why do you still keep the key?" Why don't you want to give it to me? ”
Aunt Feng asked, "What other conditions are there?" ”
Mengyun smiled and said, "I thought about it so much first, and then I thought of supplementing it." ”
Aunt Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay little girl, I agreed to you the conditions you just mentioned." You must find the murderer, but don't let me down! Otherwise, Xia He will be finished. ”
Mengyun nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'll do my best, so let's do it first. ”
Aunt Feng waved her hand to everyone and said, "It's all gone, why should you go?" ”
After dinner.
Mengyun sat on a chair in the room.
While looking at the autopsy sheet brought by Aunt Feng, she recalled the stories that Abba had told before.
In fact, the murder case is very simple, just three points. 1. Motive for killing. 2. The time of the crime. III. Conditions for Committing the Crime. As long as these three conditions are met, whoever is likely to be the murderer.
Judging from the autopsy list, he did not dissect Chun Tao's body. It seems! The government doesn't pay much attention to the murder case of 'Fengyue Tower', otherwise why not autopsy the corpse? Where do I start?
Mengyun was thinking about it, Zi Yan pushed the door and walked in, she said, "Mengyun, I really didn't expect that you would solve the case?" ”
Mengyun shook his head and said, "I won't solve the case, but I used to listen to Abba tell stories about solving cases when I was at home. So, I developed a strong interest in solving crimes at a very young age. I didn't have any experience solving crimes, this was the first time, and I wanted to give it a try and see if I could find the murderer. ”
Zi Yan sat down on the chair, and she said with an expression of envy on her face: "I envy you so much!" At least you still dare to try, and I don't even dare to try. ”
Mengyun said: "Actually, there is nothing to envy, in case I can't find the murderer, it will be difficult to end." ”
Zi Yan encouraged and said, "I believe you will definitely find the murderer." Don't forget, and Dongmei and I help you! ”
When Mengyun heard Zi Yan say this, she was very moved, so she grabbed her hand and said, "Thank you!" Zi Yan. ”
Zi Yan smiled and said, "You're welcome! Let's talk about the case first. You say, is Xia He the murderer who killed Chun Tao? ”
Mengyun hesitated for a moment, and she replied, "I don't think it should be." ”
Zi Yan asked curiously, "How do you know she's not?" ”
Mengyun replied: "It's very simple, Liuzhu said that when Xia He went to find Chun Tao, he was empty-handed and did not take a knife, and the autopsy list clearly stated that Chun Tao had three knife wounds in the chest and abdomen. ”
Zi Yan asked with doubts, "Is it possible that Xia He hid the knife on his body and Liuzhu didn't see it?" ”
Mengyun replied: "No, Chun Tao was suffocated to death, she was covered by the quilt, if Xia He brought a knife, why should she be killed?" Wouldn't it be smoother to kill someone with a knife? In addition, under normal circumstances, the first thing a murderer needs to do after killing someone is how to dispose of the body, how to escape from arrest, and how to clear his suspicion. However, Xia He didn't do anything after killing people, and even didn't close Chun Tao's door when he left, but returned to his room to sleep peacefully. This doesn't make sense, so Chun Tao shouldn't have been killed by her. However, not necessarily! Some murderers are so smart that they can pretend that nothing has happened after they have killed someone. ”
Mengyun asked Zi Yan rhetorically: "Then do you think Xia He is the murderer?" ”
Zi Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just know that everyone here is very complicated, and all of them look scheming." Who's what's going on in her heart, perhaps, only she knows. As for Xia He, she has a good side and a bad side. However, Aunt Feng decided that she was not the murderer. ”
Mengyun stood up and said to Zi Yan, "Let's go, accompany me to Chun Tao's room to have a look." ”
Hearing Mengyun's words, Zi Yan showed a frightened expression, and she said, "It's night! Can't you go again tomorrow? ”
Mengyun pulled her up and said, "Chun Tao was not killed by you, what are you afraid of." Let's go! ”
Spring Peach's room.
Mengyun and Zi Yan took the lit flower candle and carefully inspected it in the room.
After a careful search, nothing suspicious was found.
Mengyun was a little disappointed, she looked at the simple furnishings in the room, she thought she could find some clues, but now she didn't find anything, how could this be? She frowned slightly and asked Zi Yan, "Did you find anything?" ”
Zi Yan shook her head, she pointed to the jewelry on the dresser and said, "This Chun Tao is really rich, so many jewelry, much more than Qiulan's jewelry." ”
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Mengyun walked over and looked at the ......
