The bookkeeper squatted on the ground and held his head, and the strong man pushed him and said, "What are you doing?" Your lord is dead, and you don't cry a little? ”

The bookkeeper looked up at him and said, "Why should I cry?" ”

"You're his bookkeeper."

"I'm just his bookkeeper, not his son, and besides, he's very mean to people, didn't you see him just slapped me in front of everyone? I'm just what he paid for, and I'm not a slave of his family, so why did he beat me? This kind of thing is not once or twice, I have long hated him to death, so he died, why should I cry before I have time to be happy! ”

"Then why did you squat on the ground and hold your head just now, with a sad face, could it be that you are pretending?"

"I was sad because I didn't know how to explain when I went back, why he hanged himself for no reason, and how I could explain to his wife and children."

The young woman was relieved: "He hanged himself, what does it matter to you?" What is there to worry about. ”

The strong man on the side sneered and said, "Who said he hanged himself?" Maybe someone strangled him and pretended to hang himself. ”

"What ...... are you talking about, gray grandson?"

"Husband, don't be angry, people are telling the truth. He's so fat and so strong, who can strangle him? And who can hang a man as fat as him on the beam? Husband, you're a joke. ”

The strong man can be fierce to outsiders, but in front of the young woman, he is like a sick cat, and when he hears that the young woman is unhappy, he is busy hunching his waist, explaining that he is just talking nonsense, and he can't take it seriously.

The porter said, "Yes, he must have hanged himself, or he would have been so fat, and he would have been heavier when he died, and did he not say that the dead were heavier than the living?" Is it called dead and dead? Therefore, I estimate that the only people present who want to really hang him up are the big brother with the knife and this hunter. You two have the strength, I don't think I can do it. ”

The strong man's eyes glared and said, "You can't do it, aren't you from the cart?" A handful of strength, what kind of bear is it at this time? Maybe you strangled people and hung them. ”

The porter said, "Big brother." You're kidding. I've been sleeping in the hall, and I've never gone out, and a few of them can testify. ”

The visiting farmer, who slept in the lobby with him, shook his head and was unwilling to testify to him. Only said that he fell asleep before hearing the shouting. And did not hear him go out.

The porter said, "In that case, I cannot testify against you, for I too fell asleep just now, and I don't know when you will go out." ”

Yunzi was on the side and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, listen to the lord." ”

These people quickly shut up and looked at Lu Jinping together.

Lu Jinping said: "Were the three of you all in the house when you heard the shouting before? Has anyone ever gone out in between? ”

All three shook their heads together, proving that they had woken up when they heard a sound, and that several other people were also in the house.

Lu Jinping turned around again and asked the strong man and the hunter with the knife, "What about the two of you?" Before hearing the shouting. Have you ever been out? ”

The two glanced at each other and shook their heads together, both proving that when they were sleeping just now, both of them were sleeping behind the door with their heads on their heads, and whoever wanted to go out would inevitably alarm each other. If you want to enter through the main entrance, you will be alarmed by four people. Because they also slept by the door, they could make sure that the other person had not left the kitchen.

Lu Jinping looked at the young woman and her mother-in-law.

The young woman said, "Sir, I have been in the house with my mother-in-law. Besides. We didn't have the strength to strangle him, let alone carry him to the beam. ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "In this way, it is true that the rich man hanged himself, and several of you have alibi evidence." What was it that made him think so much? "Speaking of which. Turning his head to look at the bookkeeper who was squatting on the ground.

The bookkeeper shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know." Although I am his bookkeeper, I don't know a lot about him, and I don't know why he hanged himself, maybe he was stimulated by something. ”

Yunzi interjected on the side: "What kind of excitement can that be? It was in this barren mountain blizzard. What could irritate her? ”

The young woman said, "This is not certain, this blizzard whined like a ghost crying wolf, I was so frightened that I lay in bed and did not dare to sleep, the old woman said, the wind is very strong in this area, the wind blows over the stones on the mountain, will make all kinds of strange noises, quite frightening." She's used to living here, so she doesn't feel anything. And those of us who have just arrived, so we might be a little scared. ”

The bookkeeper shook his head and said: "It is impossible for our lord to be scared of suicide by this strange sound, if you really want me to say why he hanged himself, it may be a matter of the field, he likes to gamble very much, and he always loses, most of the land left by his ancestors have been lost, his wife and children have begged him not to gamble anymore, and leave some money for his family, he said that he can't control himself, and he is sorry for his wife and children, so I was thinking just now, if he really wants to commit suicide, it may be this reason." ”

Yunzi said: "He can think of his wife and children, he feels that he likes gambling and can't control it, forget it when he dies, he can leave some money for his family, he really has this kind of thought, I still respect him for three points." ”

Lu Jinping also sighed and said: "In this way, I am afraid that he hanged for this reason, maybe because he saw the tragic death of the merchant in front of him, thinking that life is impermanent, and he is still alive and well in this life, and he may die tomorrow, so he is pessimistic about life, which is relatively common, people are easily affected by the environment, I have heard of some cases, because of participating in other people's funerals, and after coming back, he committed suicide and died, and there are also cases." ”

Hearing Lu Jinping say this, these people all nodded in agreement, and sighed together, expressing pity for the rich man.

Lu Jinping said: "In this case, let's go back to our rooms to rest, it's already midnight."

The bookkeeper said, "Our master is dead, can I live in his wing?" There was a quilt, and I slept in the living room with a very cold head, and I would get sick. ”

Lu Jinping's gaze swept to several other people, and the strong man and the hunter said that they still lived together to supervise each other to see who the murderer was, so they didn't go to live in that place, so as not to be suspected again.

When Lu Jinping's eyes looked at the farmer and the porter, the two of them shook their heads together, and the reason was almost the same, that is, the place where the rich man lived before he died, and now that the rich man is dead, they don't dare to live. It is better to let the bookkeeper live, so that no one will fight with him.

Lu Jinping nodded and said to the young woman, "Please give me your scissors." ”

The young woman hurriedly handed him the scissors in her hand. Asked: "What does the lord want scissors for?" Is it possible to make clothes in the middle of the night? If you need help from the slave family, you just need to say hello, the slave family ......"

Yunzi on the side snorted heavily, and his eyes swept over like electricity, and the young woman trembled with fright. Quickly saved the next words, swallowed it, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.

Lu Jinping didn't say much, took the scissors, and returned to the wing room with Yunzi.

Closing the door, Lu Jinping and Yunzi were both sitting on the edge of the kang, neither of them lit the lamp, sitting in the dark, Yunzi spoke first: "If this fat man was strangled to death and pretended to hang himself, he was so fat, others couldn't do it." Except for one person. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Hunter!" Yun Zi lowered his voice and said, "That hunter is actually very good at martial arts, you won't be able to notice martial arts, when he searched for the enemy's traces just now, the distance between his footprints left on the snow was basically the same." ”

"What does that mean?"

"It's the result of a long period of practicing a certain body walking, and you can't understand what you don't know martial arts."

Lu Jinping nodded slowly, falling into deep thought.

Yunzi continued: "I don't think the rich man of the land hanged himself! ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Quite simply, before that he was still staring at the young woman and at my breasts. A man who still has such a strong interest in women. How can it be said that death is death? Even if his family is almost defeated, there is no need to die, doesn't he have a rent to collect? -- In order to leave some money for his wife and children, he hanged himself and used this method to quit gambling. That's probably the most far-fetched reason I've heard. ”

"Your analysis is not unreasonable, but he was indeed hanged." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Yunzi asked.

Lu Jinping said: "Judging from the strangulation marks on his neck, there is only one, and it is a horseshoe-shaped extension to the back of his head, not crossed at the back of his neck, and hangs in the air. This strangulation mark is typical of hanging. Moreover, I looked at the bruising on his face, and there were scattered punctate bleeding spots in his eyes, which was consistent with the characteristics of mechanical suffocation death, so from the corpse phenomenon, it was a hanging. ”

Yunzi said: "You can see it very clearly, since this is the case, it will save trouble." Besides, the woman also has some truth in what she said, he is so fat that ordinary people can't hang on the beams of the house. And he is a big living man, and if he wants to hang on the beams of the house, won't he cry? Since he didn't scream, he really hanged himself. ”

Lu Jinping said: "I checked the marks on the beam just now, and there are no scratches caused by back and forth friction, indicating that the deceased did not struggle to resist, and in this case, he generally hanged himself voluntarily, and in another case, he lost the ability to resist and was hanged up, or was hung after death." However, it can be ruled out that he was hung after his death, because the subcutaneous life reaction of the strangulation scar on his neck is obvious, which is a pre-mortem injury, that is, he was alive before he hanged. ”

Of course, Yunzi didn't understand his professional terms such as life reactions, but the general meaning could be guessed, and seeing that Lu Jinping could analyze this problem so professionally, he couldn't help but admire it extremely in his heart, so he said: "Since he hanged himself, then let's not bother, let's go to sleep." ”

This sounds very ambiguous, but Lu Jinping said: "You go to sleep first, I need to do a Taoist test." ”

"What kind of tests do you do? Does it have to be now? ”

"Yes!" Lu Jinping muttered, "There is another possibility, but this may need to be supported by evidence." I'm going to do a test to see if this is possible. ”

"What is possible?"

"I can't say it yet, I'll tell you when I can."

Yunzi said, "Then do you want me to help you?" Or can I take a look on the sidelines? ”

Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, when I do the Dao Law Inspection, there can't be anyone next to me, so you don't have to go out, but you have to turn your back to me and cover your head with a quilt, you must ensure this, otherwise my Dao Law investigation will not work, and it will affect the case." ”

Yunzi stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay then, listen to you." So he obediently climbed onto the earthen kang, got into the quilt, lay on his side inward, pulled the quilt over and covered his whole body and head.

Lu Jinping reached over and pressed the quilt tightly, convinced that Yunzi really couldn't see it. He didn't inspect for a long time, so he wouldn't cover the other party.

Lu Jinping opened the forensic investigation box, took out the section of rope that was taken from the beam, stepped on the ground, pulled it tight with all his strength, and then cut it with a click of scissors.

Then, he put the fracture that he had just cut and the fracture that the young woman had cut before under a microscope for observation, and after looking at it, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This test was very short, Lu Jinping quickly packed his things, locked the lockbox, and then got into the quilt.

Hearing Lu Jinping put it on, Yunzi lifted the corner of the quilt, breathed a few hard, and said, "Oh, it really suffocated me to death, if you don't finish it, I will be suffocated to death by you." ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Yunzi turned around, hugged him very naturally, and lay in his arms, the two of them lay quietly, neither of them made the next move, although they were through their clothes, they could feel each other's heartbeat.

Yunzi didn't continue the topic just now, perhaps the sudden suicide of the rich man diluted that emotion.

Lu Jinping looked up at the dim roof, and his ears were filled with the whistling sound of a snowstorm outside the window.

Hearing Lu Jinping sit there without saying a word, Yunzi didn't speak, just quietly hugged him and lay down, he was very tired this day, and he quickly fell asleep.

Lu Jinping thought about it, and didn't know when he fell asleep.

This time, I slept until the east revealed the white of the fish's belly.

When Lu Jinping woke up, he didn't even react to where he was for a while. When he saw clearly that Yunzi was sitting cross-legged in the bed, closing his eyes and pranayama, he reacted, he spent the night in the same bed with this Tibetan girl, of course, what should have happened did not happen, and what should not have happened did not happen.

The howling of the blizzard can no longer be heard at this moment, it must have stopped. The morning light scatters on Yunzi's face, revealing a healthy malt color, and two faint plateau red clusters on the cheekbones, like two natural rouge, also make people feel a healthy and upward vitality.

Yunzi's breasts are still bulging round and straight, exuding a seductive charm, in the early morning, her clothes have not had time to be tidied up, slightly scattered, the clothes are low-cut and open-necked, and half of the tempting cleavage is displayed in front of Lu Jinping, if she stands up and looks condescendingly, I am afraid that she can see deeper.
