There have been murders in Lin'an County one after another, and I'm afraid this Zixi County can't wait.

After hearing the news of Linghu Qi, Su Wuming immediately led people to Lin'an County, the cold wind was slightly biting along the way, and when he arrived in Lin'an County, it was already after dusk.

After entering Lin'an County, several people immediately went to see Xu Ruyou, and when they went to see Xu Ruyou, Xu Ruyou was walking around in a hurry, looking at him, he seemed to be like an ant on a hot pot. And when Xu Ruyou saw Su Wuming, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he stepped forward again and again to greet him: "Master Su, this is ...... This Lin'an County has a series of life cases, if it is not solved, the lower officials are only afraid that they will have no face to face the villagers and elders, Lord Su is like a god in judging the case, and I also ask Lord Su to help solve the case as soon as possible......"

Xu Ruyou said something that was all nonsense to Su Wuming, which made Su Wuming a little unhappy, so before Xu Ruyou finished speaking, Su Wuming immediately interrupted him and said, "I heard that someone found a decomposed corpse in the moat, what's going on?" ”

"Back to Lord Su's words, here's the thing, today someone went out of the city and passed by the moat, and found a human hand floating in the river, at first the person thought that someone was drowning, so he hurriedly called someone to salvage, and even after fishing it out, he found that it was just an arm, and they were frightened after finding the arm, and hurriedly ran to report the case. Today, some of the officials are still salvaging on the other side of the moat. ”

After listening to Xu Ruyou's words, Su Wuming frowned slightly, the murderer killed and then divided the body, which sounds really shocking, and what is the purpose of the murderer to decompose the body after killing?

The easiest thing to think of is probably that people don't know who the deceased is, and the head that has never been found today just confirms this.

"Where are the remains of the corpses that have been found now?"

"In the morgue, the lower official will lead Master Su to go!" Xu Ruyou said, trotting in front to lead the way.

Entering the morgue, Xu Ruyou pointed to the corpse that was only missing the head, and said, "This is it!" ”

Su Wuming nodded, and then carefully examined the corpse, and found that the corpse spots on the corpse were already very heavy, thinking that the deceased had been dead for many days, and in addition, because the deceased had been soaked in water for too long, his skin was very white, and the soaking was a little swollen, so the wounds on the corpse were not very obvious.

After seeing it like this, Su Wuming asked, "What do you think of this corpse?" ”

Xu Ruyou hesitated slightly, and said after a long time: "This ...... Xia Guan felt that the murderer was too cruel to kill like this. Hearing Xu Ruyou's answer, Su Wuming couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, he asked Xu Ruyou where this was, this Xu Ruyou couldn't tell the priority when answering the question, and he didn't know how he was the county magistrate of Lin'an County.

"Lord Xu, who do you think this deceased person might be?"

"This ...... This subordinate doesn't know, but he has already ordered someone to look for the family of the deceased! ”

Su Wuming sighed and said, "Lord Xu, there was a murder in Lin'an County not long ago, a girl named Lu Ji was killed, and a man was involved at that time, but then he disappeared......

Before Su Wuming's words were finished, Xu Ruyou suddenly realized and said, "What does Master Su mean is that this deceased is likely to be the missing Lin Huan?" ”

Seeing that Xu Ruyou was not very stupid, Su Wuming nodded with a little satisfaction: "So, Lord Xu might as well bring that Mrs. Lin and let her recognize the body and see if it is her husband." ”

After hearing Su Wuming's words, Xu Ruyou was a little embarrassed, and said: "The head of the corpse is missing, and the corpse is deformed in the water, can Mrs. Lin recognize it?" ”

At this time, Su Wuming was already very sure that the body belonged to Lin Huan, because from the time when the deceased was killed, it was inferred that it was the time when Lin Huan disappeared; Asking Mrs. Lin to identify the corpse is just a formality, Su Wuming has something to ask Mrs. Lin is the main purpose, of course, he may take a look at Mrs. Lin's reaction when she sees this corpse.

Therefore, when Xu Ruyou felt that it was dispensable to call Mrs. Lin to come, Su Wuming frowned slightly, showing dissatisfaction, Xu Ruyou saw this, and didn't dare to ask more, so he ordered to go down again and again, and escorted Mrs. Lin to her.

Not much, Mrs. Lin entered the morgue, she seemed to be entering the morgue for the first time, so she looked very nervous after entering, and when she saw those corpses, she suddenly fell to the ground in fear, her legs were weak, and she couldn't stand up.

And at this time, Su Wuming pointed to the corpse and said, "Come and see, is this the corpse of your husband Lin Huan?" ”

As soon as she heard Su Wuming's words, Mrs. Lin's feet became even softer, and her expression was full of disbelief, she slowly stepped forward to take a closer look at the corpse, and then hesitated: "No...... There were no heads, I couldn't be sure, and the skin on the corpses was pale, and the women couldn't recognize them. Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin suddenly asked, "I don't know where the body was found?" ”

"Moat outside the city!"

"Moat?" Mrs. Lin was a little surprised, and then shook her head: "If this is the case, then it is unlikely to be my husband, because the city gate was closed on the night when my husband disappeared, and since this body was found in the moat, it must not be my family." ”

"What if he was killed the next day?" Xu Ruyou asked a little proudly, because this time was the first thing he thought of, but as soon as he asked this sentence, he was refuted by Mrs. Lin, and said: "How is this possible, after discovering the body of that green girl, you have already begun to look for him, if it is at that time, where can he escape from Lin'an County?" ”

Mrs. Lin's words made Xu Ruyou unable to speak, but at this time, Su Wuming was pondering, he felt that Mrs. Lin's words were reasonable, but it was undeniable that this corpse must be Lin Huan's, but what happened that night that Lu Ji was killed This Lin Huan was also killed? Besides, where was Lin Huan killed, inside the city or outside the city?

If the body was found outside the city, then it is very likely that he was killed outside the city, and according to Mrs. Lin, it is impossible for Lin Huan to be killed outside the city; If he was killed in the city, how did the murderer get the body out?

After the murder was discovered, the city gate was very strictly investigated, and even if the murderer divided the body, it was difficult to take it out, so the only time the murderer had time to get the body out was only on the night of the murder, but the city gate was closed at that time, how could the murderer get the body out?

The corpse was decomposed and became very small, and if the murderer had great strength, it was possible to throw the corpse out of the city, and it rained heavily that night, and the moat was slightly low, and the rain washed the corpse into the moat, which also made perfect sense.

After thinking of this, Su Wuming's face suddenly showed joy, so much so that he didn't even have time to ask the question he wanted to ask Mrs. Lin, and only hurriedly said to Xu Ruyou and the others: "Follow me to find the head of the deceased." ”

Everyone didn't know what Su Wuming had in mind, but looking at his excited appearance, he thought that he was very sure.

After everyone followed Su Wuming out of the county office, they came to the city gate and the city wall, and after coming to where they came, Su Wuming gave some orders to everyone, let everyone pay attention to it, and see if there are any tall trees in the city wall, or other suspicious things.

After everyone received the order, they hurriedly went to find it, about half a pillar of incense time, they found a big tree on the side of a city wall in the north of the city, the tree was withered at this time, and the branches were broken by someone, Su Wuming saw that the tree was full of resilience, nodded slightly, and said: "Go to this place outside the city to find the head of the deceased." ”

After getting out of the city, everyone came to the north of the city, and finally found the head of the deceased in a withered yellow grass outside the moat.

After confirming the identity of the deceased, everyone was very excited, but they were also very surprised, how did Su Wuming know that the deceased's head was in this place?

Everyone came to ask, Su Wuming had to make a simple explanation, and many of these explanations were similar to what he thought before, but the latter was a little different: "Originally, I thought that the deceased had a lot of energy and threw the body out of the city, but then I thought about how many people with such strength were not there after all, and finally I thought about what tools the murderer might have used, such as the trees in the city, after seeing the trees, I thought again, the head is round, and it is very light, and I am afraid that it will be farther than other corpses, so it is outside the moat, I should have been able to find it, and now it has been confirmed that my reasoning is correct. ”

And after Su Wuming's inference was true, everyone understood that Lin Huan was killed in the city, and after he was killed, the murderer divided it and threw it out of the city in order to facilitate the disposal of the body, but what was the purpose of the murderer? Originally, they thought that the murderer did not want them to know the identity of the deceased, but now it seems that this is not the case, because the murderer did not treat the deceased's head in a special way, and after they thought of the reason, they easily found the deceased's head.

The murderer's purpose was not easy to speculate, so they had to go back first for the time being, and at this time, Su Wuming felt that it was time to ask Mrs. Lin and Zheng Butcher a question.

When they brought Lin Huan's head back, Mrs. Lin suddenly fell to the ground in shock, and cried so much, but at this time, her crying gave people a feeling of contrived disgust.

"Mrs. Lin, now that it has been confirmed that Lin Huan was killed, then you told Lin Huan that Miss Lu Ji lived in a broken temple, I'm afraid it wasn't unintentional, right?"
