Chapter 120: Purpose
When the young woman heard this, her delicate body trembled, stopped in front of the strong man, straightened her chest, looked at Lu Jinping and said, "No, it's not my husband, my husband can't kill anyone." Sir, you must be mistaken, it can't be his, I beg you, I can guarantee that it is definitely not him, you must be mistaken, sir, we have wronged ......"
The strong man with the knife also had a pale face, his left hand held the handle of the knife tightly, but he didn't dare to pull it out, his eyes were full of despair, his lips trembled, and he wanted to defend a few words, but he couldn't speak.
Lu Jinping smiled and shook his head and said, "That's right, of course it's not him, because, the murderer is you!" ”
At this moment, the people in the audience were shocked, and no one could have imagined that this bewitching young woman was actually the murderer of three people in a row. How is this possible? The strong man behind him looked down at the young woman, and then looked at Lu Jinping, and then his tongue seemed to become more flexible, and said: "Sir, you, you are really mistaken, it's not me, and it can't be my lady, she is so thin and petite, she can't kill that merchant." The knife on the merchant's neck was clean and neat, and half of his neck was cut off with one knife, how could she be? She has no power to restrain the chicken, especially the rich man, who is fat and strong, like a big fat pig, is hanged on the toilet beam, my lady is so petite, how can she hang such a fat big fat man on the beam? Even if this bookkeeper is relatively thin, but he is a man in the end, if he really beats, even if this bookkeeper stretches his neck and asks her to strangle, as long as he resists, my lady has no way to kill him. So, sir, you're absolutely mistaken......"
Lu Jinping did not answer the strong man's words. He took out a rope from his sleeve cage and held it up in the air and said, "This rope is the one that the rich man hanged on the beam of the latrine last night, but it's not it." I cut it off for one purpose, and that was to compare the fractures. ”
Saying this, he helped him to put the two broken ropes together, held them in his hands, and showed them in front of the others, saying, "Everyone, pay attention to this port." Did you notice any differences? ”
Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, and they all shook their heads together. There is no difference between a fracture.
Lu Jinping said: "In your eyes, there is no difference, they are all cut by scissors, of course there is no difference." But in my eyes, it's a big difference. One is cut in a taut state, the other is cut in a loose state, these two kinds of rope break state on the break after cutting the rope is different, this requires a very keen eye to see it, you don't have such a gaze, but I have. ”
Of course, Lu Jinping's eyes can't see more clearly and in detail than others, but he has a microscope. Under the microscope, the rope in the strong state and the rope in the relaxed state. The fracture cut by the same scissors is not the same.
Lu Jinping once did a reconnaissance experiment last night, that is, he stepped on one end of the rope with his foot and pulled the rope tight. The rope was cut and then compared with the one cut by the young woman under a portable microscope and the two were very different. The break that was cut by the young woman's scissors was cut in a relaxed state, unlike the rope break that Lu Jinping cut after pulling it with all his might.
Everyone looked at Lu Jinping in horror, not knowing why he would say such a thing. Only Yunzi had seen that Lu Jinping had used this magical method specially used to solve the case in the investigation of his younger brother's carriage accident and injured a female beggar, and accurately found out the car that his brother caused the accident. So he completely believed what Lu Jinping just said.
Yunzi said: "My brother learned from a Taoist who specializes in solving crimes, and he can see things that others can't see. What do you think? Amazing, right? ”
Everyone else nodded hurriedly, Yunzi's martial arts are so strong, these people together are not his opponents, and she just said that Lu Jinping has such a way to see the two fractures in a way that is easy to understand, she just said that the sun rises from the west, and no one dares to say that it is impossible.
Lu Jinping looked at the young woman and said slowly: "I found out from the fracture that the rope tied around the neck of the rich man was cut in a relaxed state, not in a tight state, that is, this rope was not cut by hanging the rich man in the air. That means you're lying. And if you're lying, that means you actually strangled him, cut the rope with scissors, and tell us he hanged. Then, you claim to have found him hanging himself and cutting his rope with scissors, when in fact, he was strangled to death by you. ”
The young woman's face turned pale and said, "Sir, just by saying this, you want to think that I killed someone, and I don't accept it!" ”
The strong man also stepped forward, and said to Lu Jinping with a smile: "The lord can't just rely on speculation to determine that my lady killed someone, and I don't accept it, if this is the case, I will shout injustice, go to the capital to cry injustice!" ”
Lu Jinping looked at him and sneered: "Shouting injustice? You are just the prey she seduced, she wants to kill you, but you cry out for her, don't you feel wronged? ”
As soon as he heard this, the strong man who took the lead suddenly changed his face, and then said to Lu Jinping with a smile: "Sir, you, I don't understand your words......
"Of course I understand, I dare to conclude that three days ago you were afraid that you didn't know her, but now you willingly followed him to this remote mountain village, you have only known her for three days, and the woman who is unwilling to sleep with you is going to the capital to report to the emperor, do you think it is worth it?"
The strong man was taken aback, obviously stunned by Lu Jinping's prediction, and asked in astonishment: "I, I just think that what you said is unfathomable. Moreover, you said that she was going to kill me, where to start with this ......? ”
Lu Jinping sneered: "If it weren't for us accidentally appearing here because of the blizzard, I'm afraid that you would have been killed by them at this moment, just like the merchant who was killed by this old woman in the blizzard." ”
Speaking of this, his gaze turned to the old woman who was in a state of old age.
This time, everyone was taken aback again, and they didn't know why Lu Jinping pointed his suspicion at the poor old woman who was kind enough to take them in.
The old woman looked at Lu Jinping in a daze, as if she hadn't remembered what Lu Jinping meant by this. And the young woman next to her hurriedly shook her head and said, "Sir." You are going to wronged people more and more, how can he be a murderer? He couldn't even walk steadily, so how could he kill that old woman? Besides. When the merchant died, the old woman was in the bedroom with me, and I can testify, and the bookkeeper can testify as well, because he peeked at us and knew that we were lying in bed. ”
"Mr. Bookkeeper can see you. But the old woman slept in the back room, looking from the window seat you mentioned. You can't see the person in the bed. It stands to reason that you are with the old woman, and only you can prove it, but you deliberately lied for the old woman. Because you are a gang, in fact, long before the tent man snooped on you, the old woman was already waiting in ambush in the snow outside, and when the merchant passed, she cut off the merchant's neck with a knife. After everyone heard the strong man's shouts, she ran over, and then she calmly returned to the house through the night, hiding in bed with you and shivering. ”
The strong man on the side hurriedly said, "No, sir, why did she kill the merchant?" And not kill me? ”
"Because although your martial arts are poor, you still know some martial arts. And you are in the latrine, not as fast as the people outside, clean and clean. She only kills one person at a time, because she doesn't actually know martial arts, which is even more deceptive. Even my sharp-eyed sister couldn't see that she had martial arts, which only proved that she really didn't have martial arts. However, I believe that she is very quick and unguardable. In other words, she is a sneak attacker. Not a martial arts master. A sneak attack doesn't need to be very martial arts, but the action must be fast, and this old woman's movements have completely achieved this. In order to prove this, I played a little trick just now, when the old woman brought me the soup, I deliberately pretended to feel hot and let go of the soup bowl, she subconsciously caught the bowl, such a keen reaction speed, even young people may not be able to do it, but an old lady with dizzy eyes did it, don't you think it's strange? ”
As soon as he heard this, the strong man, the porter, and the farmer all subconsciously took two steps back and stared at the old woman. Because they also remembered that the old woman's movements just now were indeed too agile, but just now, their attention was on what the lord said, and they didn't notice this.
The old woman grinned with a few teeth left, stared at Lu Jinping and said, "The lord framed the old man like this, don't you know if there is any evidence?" ”
Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "This time, you killed people very quickly, and the blizzard helped you, leaving no traces, so I admit that I didn't know that you did it at that time, and I didn't suspect you, and I didn't include you in the list of suspects." Because your disguise is indeed very successful, I didn't pay attention to you just now, but this time you showed your stuff, the so-called Skynet is restored and not leaked, and you left clues when you killed Mr. Ledger. There is a famous saying that every contact will leave traces, and you have fulfilled this sentence. ”
The old woman's eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "I don't know, what are the clues that the lord said?" ”
Lu Jinping slowly took out the other hand behind his back, spread his palm, and held a thin object in the air with his fingers, and at this moment, the whole sky was already bright, and a touch of sunlight had illuminated the mountains opposite. So what he was holding in his hand could be seen very clearly in the morning light. It's a white hair!
Seeing this white hair, all eyes were immediately fixed on the old woman. For among them only the old woman was a gray-haired woman.
Lu Jinping said: "This is what I found in Mr. Bookkeeper's erect neck, obviously, this is not his hair, his hair is black, he is middle-aged, and his hair is not so fine, this hair is yours, old woman!" It was when you strangled the rich man behind his back with the technique of carrying the white wolf on his back, and he struggled hard, and one of his hair fell out and fell on his neck. That's what you've left behind. ”
The old woman's eyes were fixed on Lu Jinping.
Lu Jinping's gaze did not flinch at all, and he stared at her deadly: "After I found out this, I understood how the rich man was killed by you." It's very simple, this rich man once coveted the beauty of this little lady, and he never left his eyes after coming in, and he laughed with her, so it is actually very easy for the little lady to seduce him, you should find an opportunity to tell him, let him come to the low wall at night to date you, the room where the two of you live has a window, and it is actually easy for you to climb out of the window, at that time Mr. Bookkeeper has been exposed for voyeurism, and he does not dare to make the same mistake again. Naturally, no one else dared. So it's safe for you to go out of the window, and no one will dare to peep at the little lady. ”
"When the little lady met with the rich man by the low wall, the mother-in-law strangled him by the neck with a rope from outside the low wall, and hung him up hard. Although this little lady did not know martial arts or assassination skills, she must have done this kind of work many times, and her familiarity with the road could prevent him from grasping the rope with both hands, and thus quickly strangled the rich man to death. ”
"Confirming this is some dirt on the ropes. When I found the dirt, I was surprised, because it was not easy to find the dirt in the snow and ice, but there was one place, and that was the head of the wall, and there was not much snow at the head of the wall, and it was easy for the rope to get into the dirt. Since the rich man was very fat and struggling desperately, this part of the rope touched the wall and left some dirt, but no dirt was found elsewhere, which I had just thought of immediately after confirming that the old woman had killed Mr. Ledger. Because of this gray hair, I strung the whole thing together and figured out these doubts. The two of you, one as a bait and the other as a killer, join forces to kill for money. ”
The young woman giggled, although the laughter was very young, but from the sound it sounded a little sarcastic, although it was very far-fetched: "Sir, you say that we are murdering for money, who are we going to harm?" What wealth are we going to seek? And what wealth do you have that we may get? Wine for your two horses and a sac? Or is it for the carriage of this rich man? Truth be told, none of these things are worth risking our lives to kill! ”
Indeed, in the Tang Dynasty, the price of horses was very cheap, because the territory of the Tang Dynasty was vast and there were vast horse farms, especially in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, which was close to the vast pastures in the north, and the horses were even cheaper, and it was indeed not worth committing homicide for three horses.
Lu Jinping said: "Of course you won't kill people for horses, because your target at that time was not us, we were just by the way, your target is him!" Lu Jinping pointed to the strong man with the knife.
The strong man couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, looked at Lu Jinping in horror and said, "What does the lord mean?" (To be continued)
