Lu Jinping walked to the corpse and looked around first, but there were no suspicious traces. He examined the corpse's neck, and a deep blood groove was cut on the right front side, half of the neck was cut, and the trachea was severed, no wonder there was no call. At the moment, the blood from the neck wound was still bubbling out.

Lu Jinping checked other parts of the corpse again, and found no obvious external injuries, nor traces, there was no trace of resistance, it seems that the murderer shot quickly, and cut its neck before the merchant had time to react, which was a fatal injury, and the merchant immediately lost his ability to move and fell to the ground and died.

Lu Jinping said to carry the body back and go back to the lobby to discuss what to do next.

Lu Jinping found that the old woman, the young woman, the landlord and her account office did not arrive. He hurriedly said, "Hurry back, we can't be separated." ”

At that moment, the strong man and the porter carried the body back to the lobby and placed the body under the porch outside the house.

When she pushed the door into the house, she saw the young woman and the old woman pale with fright, sitting by the fire and looking at them, and the young woman asked, "Sir, what has happened?" I heard as if someone was shouting for murder. ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "The merchant was hacked to death with a knife, and it was convenient for him to go out with this strong man." ”

"Huh? Who is so murderous? ”

"That's what I'm trying to find out." Lu Jinping looked back, but he didn't see the rich man and his account, so he said to the porter: "You go to the wing room to see if they are there, and quickly call them over." ”

The porter agreed, and went out, and after a while he came into the house with the rich man and the bookkeeper, and closed the door.

The rich man was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said, "I, I seem to have heard someone shouting for murder, what is the matter?" ”

Lu Jinping said: "The merchant was hacked to death with a knife when it was convenient for him to go out, my surname is Lu, I am a judicial officer in the same state, and I am also a man from the founding county." This is a homicide. I'm going to find out what's really happening. First of all, please tell me what you were doing just now, and who can testify. ”

The strong man was taken aback. looked at Lu Jinping and said, "Sir, do you suspect that one of us killed him?" ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "Everyone has seen this blizzard, and it is dark, and you can only see a few steps away. It's hard to walk, and no outsiders come here at this time. The killer is likely to be one of us. So, now you are going to tell each other what you were just doing, what evidence you have. - I'm a guilty person who deliberately gives false testimony on behalf of others. ”

The hunter said, "Let me tell you first, I had been sleeping in the living room, and I woke up when I heard a cry, and then I ran out." At that time, the farmer who had gone to his relatives was also in the house. He can testify to me, because I can also testify that when I woke up, I saw him awake and next to me. ”

The farmer nodded quickly and said, "Yes, when I woke up, I saw him sitting there and heard someone shouting." ”

Lu Jinping interrupted him: "When you woke up, you already saw him sitting there, right?" Did you wake up first, or was it him? ”

The farmer said, "He woke up first, and when I got up, I saw him sitting there and talking, and I heard as if I heard someone shouting outside." ”

Lu Jinping said: "Then did you hear it? ”

"I didn't hear it. I slept dead, as if he woke me up, didn't he? The hunter looked at the farmer.

The farmer nodded and said, "Yes, I was woken up by a scream." Sit up and listen, someone is calling, and I wake up the farmer who was sleeping next to me. ”

Lu Jinping said: "Then it is possible that you go out first to kill someone, and then come back to wake up the farmer next to you to testify, because the strong man has said just now that it is convenient for him to go outside." He was inside the latrine, the deceased was outside the latrine, a few steps away, after he heard the noise, he didn't come out to see it immediately, he called twice and no one answered, then he wiped his buttocks, put on his pants and came out, and the latrine is only a few dozen steps away from your lobby, which is enough time for you, a quick hunter, to run back. ”

The hunter's face turned white suddenly, and he said pitifully: "Sir, I didn't kill him!" I was wronged! ”

Lu Jinping said: "Don't worry, what I said is just a speculation." It's just that there is such a possibility, and it doesn't conclude that you are the murderer, my speculation only proves that you have the possibility of committing the crime, and there is such a time, so you have to be listed as a criminal suspect, and it cannot be ruled out. What I have to determine now is how many people are suspected of committing crimes, and those who have proof that it is impossible to commit crimes can be eliminated first, and the scope can be narrowed down, so that the real murderers can finally be locked. ”

After listening to Lu Jinping's explanation, the hunter's face was slightly better.

Speaking of this, Lu Jinping turned to look at the farmer again and said: "Although the hunter did not find evidence for himself just now, he testified for you, and he woke you up, proving that you were sleeping in the house at that time, so at present, you can rule out suspicion for the time being and not be included as a suspect." ”

The farmer was overjoyed and thanked with a smile, after all, it was no fun to be caught as a suspect in intentional homicide.

Lu Jinping looked at the thin bookkeeper of the rich man and said, "What about you?" What were you doing? ”

The bookkeeper was a little flustered, thought for a moment and said, "I'll sleep here." ”

The hunter said in a deep voice, "You're lying! When I got up, you were not in the house at all, it was just me and the two of us who were visiting the family, and you and the strong man with the knife were gone. ”

The strong man said: "I'm going with the merchant and the two of us to go conveniently, of course I'm not there!" ”

The bookkeeper said, "I, I just went out, I went to pee." ”

Lu Jinping stared at him and said slowly: "I speak flickeringly, you can't tell what just happened, it can only mean that you want to hide something, you honestly, what do you want to hide?" ”

The bookkeeper blushed and cringed, "I, I didn't, I really went to pee." ”

Lu Jinping said: "If you still say so, I will list you as a key suspect, you must know that if you are included in the key suspect, I can arrest you and put you in prison and slowly investigate." ”

The bookkeeper shuddered, and said with a bitter face: "Sir, I didn't kill anyone, I ...... just now, and I ...... just now."

The young woman on the side said, "Okay, I'll testify for him, he just spied on me sleeping outside my window, I found out, but I didn't bother to pay attention to him." ”

As soon as I heard this. Mr. Bookkeeper's face flushed so much that he almost hid his head in the crotch of his trousers.

The rich man's eyes widened, and he raised his hand and slapped him the bookkeeper's cheek. scolded angrily: "Things that haven't grown, it's not enough to have a wife at home, and you have to peek at other women's sleep, and it's useless." ”

The bookkeeper covered his face and lowered his head.

When the strong man heard that the bookkeeper was spying on her lady sleeping, he couldn't help but be furious. Reached over and grabbed Mr. Tent by the collar, held him in the air, gritted his teeth, and said, "My lady, you dare to peep too?" You don't want to live anymore! After that, he picked up the big palm of the fan and was about to pull it over.

"Stop!" Lu Jinping shouted loudly.

When the strong man heard this, he quickly put his hand down, and at the same time, he put the bookkeeper on the ground and looked at Lu Jinping with a smile.

Lu Jinping said: "Now that I'm investigating the murder case, I'll talk about this voyeuristic matter later." ”

"Yes, yes!" The strong man hurriedly agreed.

Lu Jinping looked at Mr. Tent: "Is that so?" You tell me honestly. ”

The bookkeeper's face turned the color of pig liver: "Yes." I was originally going to the toilet, but I just passed by her window, I don't know how to want to see her, I saw her wearing ** on the bed through the crack in the window, I just looked at it and forgot to go. I was wrong, I beg your pardon. At this, the bookkeeper knelt down with a grunt and kowtowed to the strong man and the young woman to make amends.

Lu Jinping looked at the young woman and said, "You know that he is peeping outside, why don't you shout?" ”

The young woman smiled and said, "What is the shouting, I haven't stripped again." It's still wearing ** inside, what did she see? He can see it if he wants, it's freezing outside, and he deserves to freeze to death. People are willing to suffer this living sin to come to see me, so why should I alarm everyone for such a thing. Speaking of this, the young woman turned her head to look at the strong man, grinned, and said, "Am I right?" Husband. ”

The strong man was a little embarrassed, but when he heard the young woman ask him this, he still nodded, and said with a smile: "What the lady says is what it is." Hey hey"

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "You can think about it." However, you also have a witness who can testify that you were in the house at the time. ”

The young woman said: "And this mother-in-law, she slept in the same bed with me, she slept inside, in fact, she didn't sleep much, when she heard the shout, the bookkeeper ran away, the old woman was so frightened that she hid in the quilt and shivered, I comforted her and said that there is no need to be afraid, saying that we have the founder of the county here, and his sister, who is very strong in martial arts, and will protect us." ”

Yunzi on the side snorted and said, "The lord is the identity of the lord just now, how do you know what the lord is?" At first glance, it is a lie! ”

The young woman smiled and said, "Although I didn't know that this prince was a lord at that time, I just thought that he was magnificent, and the jade tree was in the wind, so he must be a merry and talented man, or an important minister of the emperor's court, a prince and a general." No, didn't I guess right? ”

Yunzi was still about to speak, but Lu Jinping bowed and signaled her not to interrupt at this time. Yunzi shut up and didn't say anything.

Lu Jinping said: "In this way, the three of you have alibi evidence and are not included as suspects." After that, Lu Jinping turned his head to look at the porter and said, "What about you?" Where were you just now? ”

"I slept in the kitchen, and the two of us slept on the open floor of the stove with the merchant, and the stove fire was not extinguished, it was quite warm. Later, the eldest brother with the knife told the merchant to go up to the hut, and I said that I had already gone to the house. The merchant said that he was a little sick to his stomach and was about to go to the toilet, so he happened to be in company. So the two of them went out, and I went back to sleep, and before I could fall asleep, I heard the eldest brother shouting outside that he had killed someone or something, so I got up and ran out to see, and that's it. ”

Lu Jinping said: "This means that when the murder occurred, you were sleeping alone in the kitchen, and no one else testified, right?" ”

Of course, the porter knew what this meant, and nodded with a pale face and said, "But I didn't kill anyone, so why should I kill him?" I don't know him. Sir, I was wronged. ”

Yunzi had a good impression of this honest porter, so he was relieved and said: "Don't worry, our lord is absolutely fair, he always talks about evidence when investigating cases, and he will never arrest people indiscriminately without evidence." ”

The porter nodded gratefully, and thanked him repeatedly.

But the bookkeeper on the side said, "I can prove that he didn't go out in the kitchen." ”

Lu Jinping looked at him and said, "How do you prove it?" Haven't you been spying on other women's sleep? ”

The bookkeeper blushed and said, "I, I was afraid that someone would come out to see me, so I came to check and see if they were sleeping in the kitchen?" Because when you push the back door of the kitchen door, you can come out again, and you can see me behind the window. I looked through the crack in the door at the back of the kitchen and saw the merchant sleeping with him by the fire, on the left side of the stove, with his head facing the stove and his feet facing the door. ”

When the porter heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, yes, yes, yes, I slept like this, one on each side of the two of us, with our heads facing the stove and our feet facing the door. ”

The strong man next to him said: "It seems to be like this, when I went to call the merchant, the two of them were lying like this." ”

The porter gratefully waved at the big man again and again, expressing his gratitude and thanking him for testifying.

Lu Jinping asked the bookkeeper, "Did you leave after taking that look?" Did you know that he came out later? ”

"I didn't see him come out behind because I had been peeking out of the window...... This lady ......, and their door is also in this direction, and I can see if he wants to come out. After a while, I was startled when I heard someone pull the door out, and I quickly lay down on the snow, and then I saw the big brother with the knife and the merchant come out and go to the latrine. When they couldn't see it, I got up again and continued to look. Then I heard someone shouting for murder, and I ran back into the lobby. I hadn't seen the porter come out until then, so he must have been in the kitchen all the time. ”

When the porter heard this, he couldn't imagine that the lascivious bookkeeper had testified to him, and he couldn't help but be very grateful, and hurriedly made an arch to express his gratitude.

Lu Jinping said to Mr. Bookkeeper: "Then have you seen the merchant killed?" ”

The bookkeeper shook his head and said, "I can't see it, it's too windy and snowy over there, so I can't see their situation on the other side of the thatched house, and besides, I mainly go to see the ...... in the house Lady, I didn't pay attention to that side. When I heard the shouting, I ran back in fright, and I didn't look closely. ”

Indeed, the snowstorm was too big, the visibility was only a few steps away, the latrine was dozens of steps away from the house, and it was already night, and the light was dim, so the latrine had already been submerged in the blizzard, even if the pervert did not peep and looked carefully, he could not see the situation on the other side of the latrine. (To be continued.) )
