Hearing this, Cheng Ziqin staggered to his feet and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The catcher said quickly: "The people from Baijia Village came to report the case, saying that the mother-in-law of the main family in the village had not come out of the room after dinner, and everyone thought that she was sleeping, but later found out that she was dead."

Cheng Ziqin stood up suddenly, felt the world spinning, and said forcefully: "There was a murder case?" Fast! Let's go! "One step forward, mixed on the leg of a stool, a cross almost fell. Yang Tashan hurriedly grabbed her.

Yang Tashan saw Cheng Ziqin like this, and knew that he couldn't go, so he asked Tian Nizi to send Cheng Ziqin back, and he rushed back to get the forensic physical evidence investigation box, and took the thin monkey, Luo Yi, Tuya and a few brothers to ride to Baijia Village with the person who reported the case.

After walking for almost an hour at night, I came to Baijia Village, where the lights were bright, and there was a mess, and the sound of crying and quarreling was loud.

The villagers who reported the case rushed into the courtyard of the main house in the village and shouted: "Yang Zhutou is here, Yang Zhutou is here!" ”

The people in the village have seen Yang Tashan during the day, and the catch is coming, so it is naturally a lot quieter.

In the village, Bai Qian was sitting on a Taishi chair in front of the cave, his expression gloomy. Seeing that Yang Tashan was coming, he quickly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired of Lord Yang, so you have to come so late." ”

"It's okay, it's true that you want to mourn!" Yang Tashan patted the shoulder of the village Zheng, which was considered comforting, "Who found the body first?" ”

With a forehand move in the village, a little girl came over, and the village said: "This is my second girl, named Feng'er, who found her mother dead in the house." ”

This little girl is about five or six years old, she seems to be frightened, standing in front of Yang Tashan and trembling vigorously, her eyes are already swollen from crying, and the two blue snots are dragged so long that the old man doesn't know.

Yang Tashan was very pitiful, squatted down and hugged Feng'er, took out a sweat towel to wipe her tears, wiped off her snot, and asked softly: "Feng'er, don't be sad!" Wouldn't your father be even more uncomfortable if you did that? You're growing up to be sensible, you know? ”

The girl was very well-behaved and sensible, and when she saw Yang Tashan say this, she stopped her tears, and saw that Yang Tashan looked kind, and she was not afraid of life, and her two little hands hugged Yang Tashan's neck tightly, and she was still sobbing.

Yang Tashan waited for her to calm down, and then asked softly, "Feng'er is good!" Tell uncle, when did you go to call your mother for dinner? ”

"In the evening, when I came back from cutting the cow grass, my sister said that my grandmother had already cooked the meal and asked me to call my mother to eat. So I went. ”

"And then?"

"I went, my mother's door was closed, I called softly a few times, saw that my mother did not answer, thought that my mother was sleeping, so I didn't dare to call, so I went back to tell my grandmother, grandma heard that my mother was sleeping, so she got angry, and led me to knock on the door again, my mother still did not open, grandma called my father to go, I climbed up the window, poked a hole with my fingers, looked inside, and saw that my mother died in the house. Then Daddy and the others came and slammed the door open. Woo woo woo ......" After saying that, tears flowed out again.

"Feng'er, don't cry! You have to think about it carefully, so that your uncle can know who killed your mother, what do you say? ”

"My mother died by herself, Feng'er is not well-behaved, my mother is angry, I don't want Feng'er anymore." Feng'er said while crying.

"Who told you that your mother died on her own?"

"Dad said, Dad said that I didn't cut enough grass for our big buffalo in the afternoon, so my mother got angry, ignored Feng'er, and took rat medicine. Brother, am I a goblin like my aunt, am I a member of the Ke family? ”

Yang Tashan looked at the tearful child in his arms, his heart twitched, I don't know who told her, she was young, she said what kind of goblin she was, it was really sad to think about it.

"How so? You're not. You are so beautiful and so well-behaved, how can you be? ”

Feng'er nodded suspiciously.

"Now tell my uncle what you saw when your father opened the door, okay?" Yang Tashan knew that this was a cruel thing for a child who had just lost his mother, but he couldn't help but do it, because children would not lie.

"I ...... I...... I saw my mother lying on the ground with her hair scattered, and I couldn't see her face, and then my grandmother blindfolded me and took me away. ”

Yang Tashan briefly asked the village Zheng, the situation was about the same, and asked the village Zheng to take them to the scene of the crime.

Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty belonged to a poor and remote area, living in caves, ordinary families were the whole family sleeping on a kang, but Baijia Village was relatively rich in Qingyang Mansion, and there were several caves in the village.

The village still knows how to protect the scene, and the cave where the crime occurred has been closed to outsiders.

Yang Tashan stood at the door of the cave and looked in, only to see a woman lying face down on the ground, with long hair scattered to cover her face.

He and Luo Yi carefully walked into the cave, although there was no furniture in this room, but it was quite tidy, Yang Tashan glanced around, and saw that several quilts on the kang were neatly folded, and there was still unfinished needlework on the kang, like a two- or three-year-old child's belly pocket, with a butterfly embroidered on the belly pocket, the embroidery was not finished, the embroidery was not bad, it seems that the wife of the village should be a virtuous woman.

Luo Yi stepped forward, gently brushed the corpse's hair away, and let out a scream.

Yang Tashan turned around when he heard Luo Yi's voice, and there was a palm-sized black thing on the face of the corpse that was pulled away by Luo Yi, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a birthmark, which happened to grow on the left cheek, which was very eye-catching.

Only then did Yang Tashan understand why Luo Yi exclaimed, it looked really scary.

The entrance of the cave outside the village smiled and said: "My mother-in-law is ugly, which scares the two officials." ”

Yang Tashan thought to himself, it is really not easy in this village, and it is really amazing to face such a woman all day long.

The village was thinking that it was to understand Yang Tashan's thoughts, so he sighed softly and did not speak.

Yang Tashan briefly conducted a body surface examination of the corpse, and no external injuries or abnormalities were found on the back. The body was turned over, and it was found that the deceased's hair was scattered and his expression was painful, but the color and shape of his face were relatively normal.

When the deceased's eyelids were opened, no bleeding spots were found on the eyelids, there were no bruises and swelling on the face, no grooves or strangulation marks were found on the neck, and the laryngeal bone was normal to touch. Death by suffocation can be preliminarily ruled out.

When I opened my mouth, I found that there was something in my mouth, and when I took it out and looked at it, it was some steamed buns that had not been chewed yet, which had been soaked in saliva.

When he took off his clothes and performed a physical examination, he found no open wounds and no obvious symptoms of poisoning. The corpse mortis has appeared, and the descending surname has reached below the waist; The corpse spots are dark purple and are distributed on the face, chest, abdomen, and front of the thighs, consistent with the prone position of the cadavers. Then the anal temperature of the corpse was measured, and according to the humidity and temperature, combined with the anal temperature of the corpse, the zombie and the corpse spots, the time of death was estimated to be three to four hours.

In this way, the woman died shortly after they left Baijia Village.

After a physical examination, no signs of homicide were found, and it was preliminarily judged to be sudden death caused by the disease. However, no conclusions can be drawn until the investigation and dissection are carried out. Because it looks like an accidental death, but it is actually a murder, Yang Tashan has encountered many cases in the past when he followed his father Yang Qiuchi to solve the case.

Yang Tashan instructed the village to send people to carry the body away, temporarily put it in the village's Yizhuang, conduct an investigation first, and decide whether to conduct an autopsy according to the investigation. However, for the autopsy, his father Yang Qiuchi has warned many times that the autopsy cannot be carried out unless it is absolutely necessary, besides, the clan concept in this village is very strong, and he has to check the wife in the village to break his stomach, and the people in the village know that they must make a fuss. So, he decided to conduct the necessary investigation first to see if he could find out if there was murder.

He walked around the house again, and found a cloth button, red, at the door of the cave.

Yang Tashan sighed, he remembered that the buttons on the deceased's clothes were blue, it should not be the deceased, could it be that someone accidentally dropped it when he came in? And if it's murder? Could it be left by the murderer? Yang Tashan put the button into his pocket.

He called the village chief in and asked, "When you were in the ancestral hall today, was your lady there?" ”

"Yes, I went out with her, and I was with my mother, my three children."

"When did your lady leave after we left, do you know?"

"Then I don't know, after everyone dispersed, I stayed with the patriarch and a few elders, and I didn't go back until you left."

"Then you haven't been in your bedroom since you got home?"

"I've been in my bedroom." Bai Qian said.

"Huh? Didn't you sleep with your mother-in-law? Yang Tashan was a little surprised.

That Bai Qian was a little embarrassed: "Some time ago, the second girl, Feng'er, occasionally felt cold and refused to sleep with her grandmother, her mother cherished her and wanted to take care of her, so she slept in this cave with Feng'er." ”

"How long?" Luo Yi interjected and asked.

"For a while, this house was sunny and warm at night."

It seems that this Bai Qian seems to be very distressed about his wife and children, Yang Tashan thought to himself, he looked in the house again, and found nothing abnormal, so he walked out of the cave.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze from the villagers not far away shooting straight at him. He looked out, and it turned out to be Bai Yuefeng's wife, Jiang Tianling, who was standing in the crowd and looking at him coldly, his eyes were like a sharp blade, as if he was about to pierce Yang Tashan's body.

Yang Tashan stared at her intently, thinking, this woman is really a bit evil, you have to pay attention to her.

It was very late, and since there was no sign of homicide in the case, Yang Tashan decided to go back first, and wait until the next day to continue the investigation, and investigate it together with the case of Shu Die.

Bai Qian has been accompanying Yang Tashan and others out to the entrance of the village.

On the way, Yang Tashan asked casually: "Bai Lizheng, this butterfly has been married twice, why does the eldest brother of the Jiang family still marry her?" ”

"This ...... may have taken a fancy to her appearance. The Jiang family has been a carpenter for generations, the eldest brother of the Jiang family is honest, he is also very good to people, and no one will be blush, since he married the butterfly, he is also very good to the butterfly, alas! That woman is actually not lucky, she has a beautiful face, but she marries and remarries, and the first two don't seem to be good to her, this is finally knowing that she feels sorry for her, but she hasn't had a good life for two years, it's really ......"

Bai Qian sighed and didn't say any more.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Tashan finished practicing and was drinking tea on the Taishi chair under the eaves platform bare-chested. I heard someone calling for the door, and when I heard the sound, I knew it was Cheng Ziqin. Yang Tashan hurriedly put down the tea bowl, and he didn't bother to wear his clothes, so he trotted over and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Cheng Ziqin.

Cheng Ziqin saw Yang Tashan's bare upper body, his face was slightly red, and he walked sideways into the courtyard. Yang Tashan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and followed Cheng Ziqin with a big grin: "Why did you get up so early today?" Sobered up? ”

Cheng Ziqin didn't look at him either: "It's not much wine, it's not in the way." I heard Rabbit Tooth say, something happened again in Baijia Village last night, so I came over to ask you. ”

Xing'er brought the washing water, Yang Tashan signaled Xing'er to put the washing water on the stone table in the courtyard, and accosted Cheng Ziqin while washing: "I conducted a preliminary body surface examination of the body of the mother-in-law in the village, and found no signs of his killing, plus I drank a little wine last night before I went, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions, and I will go to Baijia Village again in a while. ”

Cheng Ziqin nodded, "I'll go with you and call that He Yan too, after all, he is more familiar with the situation there, and if necessary, you can also ask He Yan's wife." ”

Yang Tashan responded, and quickly cleaned up, Xing'er had already made breakfast, the two of them ate, and then came to the yamen.

As soon as he entered the yamen, he saw a group of people shouting something around the fast room, Yang Tashan recognized one of them, that person was the spicy Jiang Tianling, and his sharp voice was about to tear off the roof.

"Yelling what?" Yang Tashan roared, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Tianling turned around coldly and looked at Yang Tashan: "Give us the harmful goblin of the butterfly, if she doesn't die for a day, our Baijia Village will not be at peace for a day." ”

"Presumptuous, you don't look at where you are." Cheng Ziqin said coldly.

An old woman in her fifties next to Jiang Tianling stepped forward and said tremblingly: "Official, my daughter-in-law also died yesterday, she was killed by that goblin, God wants to accept this goblin, but you don't let it, now it's okay, you see, you look at it, she is alive and well with you, but my daughter-in-law was killed by her!" ”

Her daughter-in-law? Yang Tashan thought to himself, then this woman should be Bai Lizheng's mother, so he hurriedly slowed down his tone and said in a low voice: "Auntie, we naturally understand your feelings, but you can't do this, you better go back first, I promise you to figure things out as soon as possible and give you an explanation." ”

"Phew! You're protecting the vixen! The old woman actually spat at Yang Tashan's side, and Yang Tashan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Bold!" The rabbit teeth on the side grabbed the old woman and scolded, "What are you going to do?" ”

Unexpectedly, the old woman lay down on the ground, crying and screaming, as if the rabbit's teeth had already killed her, and at first glance she was a master who was not easy to mess with.

In ancient times, the fast catch was attributed to the untouchables, and if there was no crime, the ordinary people did not take the fast catches in their eyes at all, so the fast catches really had no status in ancient reality, otherwise they would not have been attributed to the untouchables. Although the rabbit teeth were tall and big, the old woman was not afraid at all.

Cheng Ziqin stepped forward and was about to help, but Rabbit Tooth stopped her and said, "Cheng Zhutou, don't go, that shrew will look for you!" ”

After Rabbit Tooth pulled Cheng Ziqin open, he stepped forward and said coldly to the old woman rolling on the ground: "Okay! You just lie down here, walking for such a long time, you are probably tired, we will not come to touch you, lest you say that we beat you. ”

Yang Tashan was too lazy to meet this old woman, and turned his head to look at Jiang Tianling: "You are gathering a crowd to attack the yamen, I warn you, if we say that you don't listen, then it's no wonder that we are strong!" If you don't disperse now, we will be, and you will be imprisoned for a few days, and you will be punished one by one! ”

Jiang Tianling didn't seem to eat this set at all, and said coldly: "Okay! You catch it! You guys should arrest all of us, it's better to arrest all the people in our Baijia Village, and then kill us all, and then you can let the goblin go in a grand manner. Anyway, if we don't be killed by you, we will be killed by that vixen one by one!

Yang Tashan frowned: "What are you dying one by one?" Who did she defeat? ”

Jiang Tianling almost hysterically shouted: "God! Are you blind? She killed her three husbands, married one and died one, died one married another, married one and died another! Hahaha, three people, three dead! The third is my own big brother! There were also three children, and a total of six lives were killed! Now he has killed the people in Bai Lizheng's house! Seven people! Seven people were killed! Who else do you say killed Ke! Do you have to wait until she kills all of our village before you are happy? Well? ”
