Chapter 10 Scene
Realizing that he had hit someone, Shen Huan hurriedly apologized to someone, but when he took a closer look, he actually bumped into the little guy in the silk village! At first, after being hit, the little guy wanted to scold a few words, but when he saw that it was Shen Huan, he immediately swallowed the words back, and the two smiled awkwardly, feeling a little fate in their hearts......
"I'm sorry, I was distracted and hit my little brother."
Seeing that Shen Huan had made amends for himself first, the little guy was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Where, our brothers are so happy today, I didn't notice you when I was walking, please don't be surprised!" ”
"Where...... Where...... By the way, are you guys calling it a day for today? Shen Huan looked at the group of people who were following the little guy and asked.
"Hmmm! The sun is about to set, and there will be no guests at this time, so I will gather with my brothers. The little guy said truthfully.
"Oh? Could it be that there is something good today? ”
Before the little guy could reply, the companions who were traveling with him preemptively said: "Childe, you don't know, Katsuko is lucky today! Not long after you left, the proprietor promoted Katsuko to the acting shopkeeper in front of us! I really envy us! ”
"You envy? What do you envy! Why didn't you answer when Childe asked you at that time? Let Katsuko steal the limelight! Now you know that you regret it, right? ”
"Alas...... Don't talk about it...... How do I know what the owner is thinking? If I had known, I would have been the first to say it! This shopkeeper will fall on me......"
"That's a good life! On you, I don't think you can be a shopkeeper! ”
"Phew! It's also called Katsuko! From Ming'er, we all have to see the shopkeeper! Hahaha......"
Guys, you say a word to me, Shen Huan roughly understood the matter, it turned out that after he left, Li Cheng promoted the little guy to the shopkeeper, Shen Huan estimated that it should be Li Cheng who took a fancy to his courage and dared to tell the truth! That's what promoted him! But the name of this little guy ...... Careless...... Victory...... That's a great name......
After the guys were quiet, Gou Sheng looked at the sky and said to Shen Huan: "Childe, it's better to meet by chance, now we meet on this street, it's also fate!" Why don't you go to the restaurant with us for a drink or two? ”
As soon as he heard that there was some food and drink, Song Shi suddenly became energetic, and immediately came up to encourage Shen Huan, his mind Shen Huan understood very well, but now that Li Lao Liu was still in prison, how could he be in the mood to go to any restaurant?
After declining Gou Sheng's kind invitation, Shen Huan pulled Song Shi and left with him, but after walking not far away, Shen Huan suddenly stopped, and watched Gou Sheng and them walk into a luxury restaurant not far away......
Looking at Shen Huan's actions, Song Shi thought that he should regret it, and said angrily: "You have to pretend to let you go!"
Listening to Song Shi's tone, he was quite resentful, as if he was sulking because the delicious meal he had arrived at was flying like this, seeing him like this, Shen Huan had no choice but to sigh and comfort: "Isn't it just a big meal?" After the sixth brother comes out of the prison, I'll treat you to a good meal, okay? Let's go, let's find a place to fill our stomachs first, there are still many things waiting for us to do! ”
I found a restaurant at random and ordered two dishes, and invited Zhao Hong to eat a meal as a thank you.
After separating from Zhao Hong, Shen Huan and Song Shi came to the county government again, looking at the two heavy gates of the county office, Song Shi asked suspiciously, "What are we doing here?"
"Find the scene of the crime!"
"Looking for the scene of the crime and finding the county office?"
Just when Song Shi was completely confused, Shen Huan had already stepped up the steps, patted the door vigorously and shouted inside: "Liu Zhixian, open the door!"
At this moment, Liu Zhixian was hugging left and right to enjoy the food brought to his mouth by the concubine, and just as he was just putting his mouth up, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door, which almost startled him! It was not easy to be able to eat a stable meal, but it was the time when Xingtou was ruined for no reason, which made Liu Zhixian's heart very unhappy! Therefore, he made up his mind that no matter who was outside or how important it was, he would never pay attention to it today!
I think so, but it's hard to do, the time for a cup of tea has passed, and the sound of calling the door still hasn't stopped, and the call is getting more and more smooth! What do you mean not to hide and keep quiet, knowing that I'm at home? Isn't this nonsense! There will be no one else who is not eating at home at this time, except for the neurotic who knocked on the door......
It didn't take long for not only Liu Zhixian, but even his concubine to be annoyed, and stepped forward to persuade: "Master, you better go out and have a look, maybe that person is really in a hurry?"
As soon as the wind blew on the pillow, Liu Zhixian had no choice but to get up and walk out, when he opened the door and saw that it was Shen Huan, his face sank suddenly, "What else do you kid want to do?" Are you annoyed this day? Can you stop for a while? ”
Liu Zhixian's attitude Shen Huan was already prepared, at first, after his autopsy, when he saw Liu Zhixian entertaining himself with good food and drink, he thought that Liu Zhixian believed his words, but later when he took Zhao Hong to the door again, he realized that Liu Zhixian was just giving Li Cheng face, and he was just a light by the way......
didn't say too much nonsense, Shen Huan directly explained his intention. For the murder weapon, Shen Huan roughly knew what it was, but the first scene was not easy to find, and the place where the body of the shopkeeper Wu was picked up could basically be confirmed to be the second scene, or the third scene, and there were no useful traces at all. But if you can find the place where the body was dumped, then you will not be far from finding the first scene! Because according to Shen Huan's judgment, it is impossible for the murderer to throw the body too far away from the scene of the crime!
The corpse floated to his village through the current, so the place where the murderer threw the corpse must have been somewhere upstream in his village! The village is located in the northeast of Jiangyin City, there are only two villages in the upper reaches, but they are all on the Yangtze River, Wu Shopkeeper must have entered the city from the south gate when he returned home from Suzhou, and it was impossible to run to the Yangtze River, and if the murderer chose to throw the body there, the body would never have floated on the water for two or three days without being found, because those two villages, like their villages, were farming and fishing for a living! Every day, people go out to fish! What's more, the waterways of those two villages lead directly to Jiangyin City, and if the corpses were thrown into the water there, they would definitely float into the moat outside the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city must have found it a long time ago! So the murderer would never choose to dump the body there!
After these two places were ruled out, Shen Huan's eyes gathered on Jiangyin City! That's right, because Jiangyin City is also in the upper reaches of the village in a special situation! The source of the big lake in my village is the surging Yangtze River, and the area of the lake is very vast, and its width is even larger than that of Jiangyin City! It is said that when Jiangyin City was built, it once dug a canal to bring the water from the lake into the moat from the northwest corner, and then flow back to the lake from the northeast corner through the city's waterway, so as to ensure the water needs of the city's residents! And my village is on this waterway! What's even more interesting is that after this waterway flows out of the northeast corner of Jiangyin City, the places it flows through are uninhabited and barren places, surrounded by weeds and reeds, and there are no villages, and almost no one will go there! So Shen Huan thought about it and felt that Jiangyin City was the only place where it was possible to throw corpses!
Because there was no curfew in the Song Dynasty, and it was not yet midwinter, there were many pedestrians in the city who traveled at night, and the corpses were heavy, and it was impossible for the murderer to walk on the street with the corpse in front of everyone, only to load the corpse into a carriage and walk through the alley! According to Li Laoliu's testimony, Shen Huan deduced that it should have been midnight when Shopkeeper Wu and Li Laoliu broke up and arrived home, assuming that Shopkeeper Wu was killed in the small courtyard of the Silk Village, then the safest and most hidden route should be the alley behind the Silk Village!
At the end of the alley was the Silk Village, but on the other side it was open, connecting the back doors of many shops, and several houses, and leading to the no-man's land in the northeast corner! It's where the garbage is piled up in the city, and it happened to be the middle of the night, so almost no one would go there! What's more, it's only a few feet away from the river! Choosing where to dump the corpse is the most suitable!
"Master, can you give the students some rice vinegar and some liquor?" Shen Huan said to Liu Zhixian.
"Aren't you looking for a scene? What do you want to do with this? Liu Zhixian felt a little inexplicable for a while.
"Students are useful, you'll know in a moment!"
"Okay, okay! The official asked a few people to help you get it, okay? "Liu Zhixian just wants to get him out of here now! If he doesn't agree to him, maybe he will come back to such a paragraph that makes people annoying to listen to! Just because this guy hasn't stopped all day today!
Liu Zhixian asked people to call a few catchers, prepared a cart of rice vinegar and liquor, and let them follow Shen Huan together. Looking at the cart full of things, Shen Huan felt speechless for a while, he just needed a few jars...... Just because he doesn't need it doesn't mean that others don't! Along the way, Song Shi was constantly thinking about whether he could finally leave a few jars for him to moisten his throat......
Walk down the alley all the way to the junkyard, and as soon as you get here, you will have a pleasant receipt! Looking at the obvious drag mark in the garbage, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Shen Huan's mouth......
Carrying a jar of liquor and rice vinegar to the river, Shen Huan said to the catchers who followed: "Is it okay to bother a few big brothers to help me find something to help me clean the ground?"
Shen Huan's words immediately aroused the disgust of the fast catchers, no one wanted to run to this garbage-filled place, but since they were ordered by the county magistrate, they could only reluctantly do it......
found a rotten broom to clean up the ground, only to see Shen Huan open the sealing mud of rice vinegar and liquor, and splashed it on the ground one after another. Seeing this, the catchers shook their heads and sighed, and they all sighed in their hearts that this kid in front of them was really too bad......
But at this moment, an extremely strange scene suddenly appeared in front of me! By the light of the torches, I saw that the place that had just been splashed with wine vinegar gradually turned red! Like blood......
"This! This! This! What is this" Song Shi was also startled when he saw this scene in front of him!
"Blood, of course!"
The bloodstains that were re-manifested by the wine vinegar were very clear, and it was obvious that there were traces of being dragged away, and the traces in front of him also confirmed Shen Huan's own speculation......
"Let's go, go to the Silk Village." Shen Huan jumped into the carriage again and said to the catchers.
"Oh...... Good...... Okay......" The catchers were still immersed in the shock just now, and it took a long time to react......
Driving away from the garbage dump, thinking about the scene just now, a good catcher couldn't help but look back, but was surprised to find that the bright red blood just now began to slowly and mysteriously disappear! And what happened just now seemed as bizarre as in a dream......
When they came to the silk village, everyone was surprised to find that there was still a light inside, and when they opened the door, they were surprised to find that Li Cheng was here!
Looking at the cart of things brought by Shen Huan, Li Cheng was very puzzled and asked, "Virtuous nephew, what are you?"
"It will be useful for a while! Uncle Lee, you're just right here! Can you help me open the gate of the small courtyard behind the Silk Village? ”
Looking at the confident smile on Shen Huan's face, Li Cheng immediately guessed seven or eight points, and said with a smile: "It seems that there has been progress!" Yes! Come with me! ”
took down two jars of wine vinegar from the car, and everyone entered the small courtyard with Li Cheng, and as soon as they opened the door of the room where Lu E used to be in the small courtyard, a fragrance came to the nostrils, choking Shen Huan sneezed a few times......
Forcibly endured the discomfort in his nasal cavity, and once again spilled the wine vinegar on the ground, and the scene that was almost the same as on the garbage dump appeared again, this time even Li Cheng was shocked fiercely! In just a moment, several clear traces of blood appeared on the ground!
Li Cheng widened his eyes and asked, "This!" What's going on? ”
"It's blood! Judging from the remaining bloodstains, Shopkeeper Wu should have been killed here! ”
Everyone looked at each other, this is really too evil! Shen Huan carefully searched for the blood stains on the ground as he spoke, and soon found a nail in a corner on the threshold that had been mostly exposed, and there were still a few silk threads wrapped around it!
"Ask a few big brothers to help take off this nail, don't hurt these silks." Shen Huan said to the catchers.
"Yes!" Hearing Shen Huan's words, the catchers did almost nothing hesitation, and subconsciously did so.
While catching the nails, Shen Huan was alone in and out of the room, carefully observing every detail in the room, Li Cheng saw the strangeness, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Virtuous nephew, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Li Cheng's inquiry, Shen Huan did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "By the way, Uncle Li, do you remember whether the Zhuwu who used to decorate in your silk village was flat-footed?"
Li Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to this, but I think it shouldn't be." After all, they have to climb up and down on their feet every day to decorate, isn't it very inconvenient if it is flat? ”
"Well, I don't think so...... It turned out to be him! ”
"What is him?"
Shen Huan's sentence made Li Cheng hear it in a fog, and just when he wanted to ask, he heard Shen Huan ask himself again: "Uncle Li, I want to ask you a question, if the shopkeeper Wu leaves the silk village, which person do you want to promote the most to be the shopkeeper?"
"Well...... this"
While talking to Li Cheng, the catchers also successfully removed the nail on the threshold, and after confirming what they thought in their hearts, Shen Huan breathed a long sigh of relief......
Seeing that the catcher was coming towards him, Shen Huan saluted them with an apologetic tone and said, "I know that the big brothers are already working very hard, but my life is at stake, so please help the big brothers in the next favor!"
"Whatever the gentleman said, since we are ordered to obey the assignment of the gentleman, we must naturally obey the instructions of the gentleman! Don't bother anymore! One of them, who looked like a head catcher, raised his hand and said.
"Good! Then thank you for catching the big brothers! ”
After receiving Shen Huan's order, the head catcher who had just answered with him immediately summoned the brothers and said, "Did you all hear what Mr. said just now?" We don't have enough people here! Lao He, go back and call all the brothers, and with our people here, divide into three teams and act separately! After finding someone, don't be rude, don't intimidate! Did you hear it all? ”
"Understood!" After hearing this, the crowd immediately split up and took action......
Two hours passed quietly, it was the beginning of the hour, Shen Huan, who was anxiously waiting for news in the silk village, suddenly heard the noise outside the door, and went out to take a look, the catchers really lived up to their expectations, and successfully found the person they were looking for!
After careful questioning, Shen Huan already knew the truth of this case! Turning to Song Shi, who was already yawning, he said, "Shi, you go back to the village now, and bring Aunt Li to the county government after dawn!" Let her beat the drum and cry out! ”
