Chapter 33: A Sharp Cry

No valuable clues were found in the main house, and the scene had long been destroyed to the point that there was no slag left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info There was no one in the house for a whole day, and it was wiped when it should be wiped, and there was no trace of the original.

Zhou Ning walked to the door and saw that the two officials in front of the mourning shed were pulling white cloths to block the sight of others. Lin Zhutou and the servants performed the autopsy behind the white cloth, and four officials were responsible for carrying the lantern and laying down the hands.

They weren't done yet, Zhou Ning looked at a lot of villagers around him, all outside the courtyard wall of the Zhang family, boldly stretching his neck forward, and timidly shrinking behind others and quietly looking.

Zhou Ning looked at the wing room again, which was a little far away from the main room. In the past, the main house was lived in by the mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law lived in the wing room, and the distance was generally not too close.

This house also has a history of more than 100 years, and in Zhang Liu's generation, only she and her sister-in-law depend on each other, so both aunts and sisters-in-law live in the main house and change the wing room into a mill.

Zhou Ning walked to the wing, Lu Qing took the lantern from the hand of the servant, and hurriedly led the way in front. The wings are not lit and are lit by lanterns.

In the middle of the room was a large millstone, and there was nothing around it. A circle of deep grooves on the ground, which is a step by step imprint.

The door of the wing room was wide open, and the door of the main room was wide open. Zhou Ning pointed to the mill and instructed a servant: "Push." ”

The servants don't care so much, the lord will push us if he asks him. Pushing the mill and grinding is definitely a manual work, the rich people use donkeys, and the poor families have to push it with manpower.

The stone mill made a tooth-sour 'crunch' sound, Zhou Ning whispered two words to Lu Qing, and Lu Qing turned around and left. After a while, a sharp cry for help was heard from the main room.

Zhou Ning stood in the mill and heard it clearly, the sound of the stone mill couldn't hide the shout, not to mention that there were too many people outside now to count, and there was no one outside last night.

"Did you hear a shout yesterday?" Zhou Ning turned around and faced Zhang Liu.

Generally speaking, there should be shouting, and in terms of the distance between the main room and the side room, it must be audible. Even if you close two doors, you can't not hear at all.

Zhang Liu shook his head without hesitation: "No, really not." ”

Zhou Ning raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, this is not scientific. Even if you are an acquaintance, how can you be familiar? was so familiar that the person suddenly appeared, Zhang Caixia was not surprised?

Could it be that Zhang Caixia has a sweetheart? Could it be that the negative person killed her? Zhou Ning also asked Zhang Baozheng just now, and he said that Zhang Caixia lived in a simple place and had a good reputation.

To say that the affair between men and women itself is very hidden, and it is easy not to make everyone know. But no matter what, there will be clues, there are only two aunts and sisters-in-law in this Zhang family, presumably the Zhang Liu family will know.

"Who was the deceased most closely related to during his lifetime?"

Zhou Ning's question made Zhang Liu a little confused, she didn't really understand what 'closely' meant, but listening to the tone of the county master, she was probably asking who Caixia was best with.

Zhang Liu pursed his lips: "My sister-in-law grew up under my watch, so she is close to me." ”

Lu Qing, a big illiterate person, knew that Zhang Liu's answer was not what he asked, and he stepped forward to explain: "I just asked if your sister-in-law is good." ”

"Ahh However, she swallowed the words behind her throat in time.

It's not a place to joke, and it's not a person she can afford to joke about. She put away her little emotions and quickly replied seriously: "We rarely go out, and we don't have any contact with anyone, so I think it's time to find her an in-law these days." ”

"Well, needless to say." Zhou Ning doesn't want to listen to her chatter, what's the use of chattering so much? Zhou Ning just wanted to know if this was a love murder case.

Since Zhang Caixia has no crush on someone, who will this person be?

Zhou Ning was pondering when Lu Qing walked back. "Childe, just now I casually dragged a girl to the main room and made her shout three times."

"Hmm." Zhou Ning let out a faint 'um', indicating that he knew, and then he exaggerated, "Huh?" With a sparkle in his eyes, he asked, "How many shouts?" ”

"Three sounds." Lu Qing replied very firmly, he could be sure of this matter, and he would stay in the house.

"Three sounds?" Zhou Ning obviously only heard one voice: "Are they all the same shouting?" ”

"Of course not." Lu Qing held his neck high, his face proud, as if he had made some great achievements. "Isn't Childe going to try how loud the girl screams when she's frightened?"

Lu Qing casually pulled a girl outside the courtyard and dragged Xiao Lingzi into the main room. Lu Qing blew out two oil lamps in the house, leaving only one on the box.

Xiao Lingzi was sitting in front of the box, she knew that Lu Qing was standing at the door, although she couldn't see people clearly, she was not afraid.

She was wondering what was the use of letting her sit here, when suddenly a dark shadow passed in front of her, causing her to exclaim in fright. She turned her head to look at the door, although Lu Qing's figure was not clear, she could still see it.

She clutched her chest and pressed her beating heart: "Great, my lord, are you there?" The room was too dark, and although she saw Lu Qing's figure, she wasn't sure if she was dazzled.

She had just seen a black shadow passing in front of her eyes, but it was nothing more than a cotton bale thrown by Lu Qing. Immediately afterwards, the servant rushed towards her with a steel knife in hand.

The steel knife pressed her neck so frightened that she shouted, and then she calmed down, there were many people guarding outside, and the county master was still outside, no one dared to do anything to her.

"Kill." Lu Qing spat out a cold word from his mouth.

Before Xiao Lingzi could figure out what to kill, the knife in the officer's hand turned over, and the shining silver light shook in front of people's eyes.

The steel knife of the official really slashed at her neck, and the knife swept away the scalp with a strong wind.

After all, Xiao Lingzi is just a little girl, so she can't think much about it at this time, she holds her head in her hands, stretches her neck and shouts: "Ah! ”

Xiao Lingzi shouted a total of three times before and after, and Zhou Ning only heard the last one. In other words, this distance, if it is not a desperate shout, it is really inaudible.

Zhou Ning pinched his eyebrows and fell into deep thought again. He was even more determined that this was an acquaintance's crime, if a stranger suddenly appeared in the house, Zhang Caixia had no reason to be so calm, how could she shout loudly.

Since Zhang Liu didn't hear the voice, it means that the person is someone Zhang Caixia is very familiar with, and in the end, when she realized the danger and wanted to shout, she was afraid that she had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning felt that this case should not be too difficult, because the Zhang family had few contacts with her sister-in-law, and there were only a few people who knew her.
