Chapter 16: How are you?
Liu Gouwa stepped forward to look at the subtle thing in her hand, and asked the people around, "Tell me, what is this?"
Everyone looked at it carefully for a while, and said in unison: "This is river sand." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Then, it is obvious that the deceased first drowned in the river, and then was poisoned and disguised as a poisoning symptom......." Liu Gouwa said this, then looked at everyone, saw everyone nodding, they all thought so, and continued to ask: "So, there is a suspicion that a malicious person is plotting to kill the deceased, why did he do this?" After Liu Gouwa asked, she glanced at Deputy Commander Wang slightly, and Deputy Lieutenant Wang snorted with a blue face.
"Blame the Lin family's shopkeeper." Someone shouted, and everyone suddenly realized, and they all said that it was good. When the family of the deceased heard this, they couldn't imagine that their relatives had really died in vain, and the grief came from it, so they cried again, screaming that they had been wronged, and begged Liu Gouwa to find the real culprit and bring him to justice.
Liu Gouwa had no choice but to ask again: "I don't know if there is a river near here?" β
"There is a stream not far from the Lin Family Wine Inn, although it is a bit remote, the villain has walked a few times." He replied.
So, under the guidance of the servant, the people came to the stream. The creek is crystal clear, not big or deep, the fish and shrimp swim leisurely, the varieties are varied, and they do not hide when they see people, unlike the streams of later generations, the pollution is serious, the foul smell is unpleasant, and the fish and shrimp caught do not dare to eat. The creek is located between the Lin family wine house and the deceased's house, relatively close to the Lin family wine house, Liu Gouwa asked people to find the deceased's home must pass through, after a while, someone found a wooden plank bridge, the bridge is paved with wooden planks on the two big stones in the stream, simply connecting the two banks of the creek.
Liu Gouwa saw that there were many people, and she was worried about the clues of destroying the scene of the crime, so she asked everyone to stay on the shore, and she only looked for evidence on both sides of the bank with her husband, and soon saw the lodging weeds and messy footprints by the stream on the shore near the Lin Family Inn, and after a careful search, still found nothing.
At that time, the sky will be dark, the glow will gradually go out, and the evening crow will return to its nest. Liu Gouwa stood by the stream and pondered for a while, then said to everyone: "It's getting late, the murderer will definitely leave some clues, but everyone hasn't found it yet, let's go back first, and come back tomorrow morning to find it." "After that, leave first.
Seeing that there were no clues at the scene, everyone ran in vain, and they couldn't help but be disappointed, especially the family members, who cried by the stream for a while before regretting leaving.
That night, the shopkeeper Lin and others were released on the spot because they were cleared of their charges, and some of the seized property was no longer found, so they were only used to break the wealth and prevent the disaster. Watching the Lin family get back the rest of the property, Deputy Duwei Wang gritted his teeth with hatred, if his eyes could kill, Liu Gouwa would have died thousands of times, and his body would be incomplete.
Back at the Lin family inn, Lin Kun was already drinking, Liu Gouwa planned to ask him for a few soldiers, go out to do some things tonight, but he had no right to transfer troops, but he volunteered and was willing to help in person, Liu Gouwa told him about his discovery and the plan in his heart, and sent a man from the Lin family to inform the family of the deceased to find some people, and came to the scene of the crime again to hide.
In the middle of the night, under the clear moonlight, a black figure sneakily groped towards the river, looked around for a while, and then looked for something by the river. Liu Gouwa made a gesture, and the hidden crowd rushed up, Lin Kun first pressed the man and tied him up, only to see clearly that he was a scarface, this person Liu Gouwa also knew, it was the team officer who searched for him at the city gate when he first crossed over. When Lin Kun saw him, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhang Dongping, how could it be you?" β
It turned out that this officer named Zhang Dongping was the provocateur of the brawl between the new and old soldiers in the barracks, and it was the soldiers in this team who beat the new soldiers to death at that time. At this time, being recognized by everyone, Zhang Dongping hung his head and closed his eyes silently. Liu Gouwa shook a piece of object in front of him and asked, "Officer Zhang, are you looking for this waist card?" β
When Zhang Dongping heard this, he glanced at the waist card in Liu Gouwa's hand, and without saying a word, he closed his eyes again. Seeing this, Lin Kun stepped forward and kicked him hard, and said angrily: "How much benefit did Wang Fu give you to frame me?" β
Zhang Dongping was still silent about Lin Kun's angry scolding, Lin Kun was about to step forward and kick and beat, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but stop: "Brother Lin is angry, let me talk about it." He had already guessed the whole story in his mind.
"Presumably, Deputy Lieutenant Wang promised to give Officer Zhang some benefits, let Officer Zhang make trouble in the barracks, the bigger the better, so that Captain Lin will have loose military discipline on his back, conniving at the crime of sergeant brawls, and then let Officer Zhang kill people and blame the Lin Family Inn, so that it can be uprooted and never turn over, but Officer Zhang lost his military badge when he drowned the victim by the stream, and today I know that everyone has not found it, you are afraid that your identity will be revealed, so you will come to look for it again at night, in fact, you don't know where the military card fell, I don't know if I am right?" Liu Gouwa said slowly.
"Hmph, since you know, why bother asking." Zhang Dongping snorted.
"Your military card fell into the water where the victim drowned, I also accidentally saw it today, in order not to wake you up, I pretended not to find any evidence, that is, I designed to capture you tonight, but I don't know, what can Deputy Lieutenant Wang promise you to make you take risks and betray Captain Lin?" Liu Gouwa asked with a smile.
Zhang Dongping kept silent but did not answer, looking like he was at your disposal. Seeing this, Lin Kun was extremely angry, raised his leg and kicked it, and shouted: "Don't say it yet? β
"Deputy Lieutenant Wang has promised me the title of captain, or is it right, can you promise me? You will only play the army, beat and scold the soldiers, tell us to endure more hardships, we have suffered for three years, and we have nothing, the counterinsurgency captured Song City, the brothers shed blood and sweat, countless dead and wounded, they can't be robbed or taken, and the spoils of war are penniless, what are we trying to do? What's the point of following you? Zhang Dongping saw that Lin Kun kicked and scolded himself at every turn, he was angry, seeing that he was captured, he had no luck, so he simply questioned him angrily and asked.
The soldiers of the five generations did not belong to the state like the army of the Republic era, to put it bluntly, the army of this era was private, nominally loyal to the emperor, but they were independent and not subordinate to each other, and the emperor also had his own pro-army team, which was slightly stronger than other armies and accounted for the name of righteousness. Slogans such as loving the motherland, loving the people, and fighting for the prosperity of the motherland are simply fanciful and foolish dreams for them. Real interests are the diligently pursued goals of these soldiers, who give them these benefits, they will give their lives, so in history, there are more than five generations of arrogant soldiers, and they will rob and plunder in battle, and take them for themselves, and the generals will also turn a blind eye, otherwise, which general still has soldiers under him, which soldier is still willing to be a soldier, is it too long?
Now, Lin Kun was questioned and was speechless, and Nana said: "Then can you kill innocents indiscriminately, then can you frame me for blaming me?" β
"Haha, do you think that if I don't kill people, he will be fine, and if I don't blame you, you will be fine? It's just a different person to execute. Zhang Dongping sneered. When the family members of the deceased heard him personally admit to the murder, they all scolded angrily and came up to punch and kick Zhang Dongping, inexplicably sad and indignant.
Liu Gouwa knew that Zhang Dongping was just a flying eagle lackey for the tiger, and when everyone vented their anger a little, he waved his hand and asked people to escort him away. Lin Kun angrily personally escorted him back to the military office for interrogation and detention, and planned to confront Deputy Lieutenant Wang the next day.
The facts of the case have been revealed, although Liu Gouwa is unwilling to participate in the subsequent interrogation, but it has not prevented Lin Kun from going back to prepare for a big trouble.
After Liu Gouwa said goodbye to everyone, he went back to the wine shop alone, and on the way, he saw a person walking slowly under the moonlight, following not far behind him, not too late, unable to see his face clearly, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
