Wu Qi hurriedly got up and tiptoed to the door of the inner room. The door to the back room was closed, but not locked.

Wu Qi squinted his eyes and leaned over to the crack in the door to look inside. In the past, when I peeped, the back room was lit up, so I could see it clearly, but this time, the back room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

He tried to keep his eyes open, trying to see if the little daughter-in-law had sneaked in. But the gap was too small, and there was no light, and the line of sight was very narrow. He involuntarily raised his hand and pressed it against the door to adjust his gaze. But with this press, I heard a squeak, and the door opened!

This time, Wu Qi was scared enough, and he quickly hid to the side, and immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly squatted down again and slowly retreated.

But he took two steps back, but did not hear any movement in the house, and stopped. Perhaps, the little daughter-in-law did not come at all, and before closing the shopkeeper, she rarely locked the door of the inner room when she went out to buy goods, because there was nothing of value in it except for a bed and two chairs.

Wu Qi has been sleeping in the coffin shop for many years, accompanied by a mouthful of coffins, he is very bold, he is not afraid, he is just afraid that his little daughter-in-law will find out that he is peeping. But now, it seems that there is no one inside.

Did you hear it wrong?

Wu Qi slowly stood up again, touched the door, looked in, and couldn't see the black rumbling, so he shouted: "Hey! Who's in it? Come out! ”

No one answered.

Wu Qi called a few more times, but still didn't answer, so he lit a lantern and carried it into the house to take a photo, sure enough, there was no one, and the back door was also tied.

Wu Qi smiled bitterly, he really hoped that the little daughter-in-law would come and hallucinate. Wu Qi was about to go out with the lantern, but he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, the curtain that turned out to be a small bed was put down.

This is strange, usually the shopkeeper never puts the curtain, including when he has sex with the little daughter-in-law, it is open, how can he put it down?

He casually lifted the curtain and looked inside, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised. But it turned out that the little daughter-in-law was sleeping naked on the bed with her back facing the sky. He could see the little daughter-in-law's full twin peaks standing proudly, her satin-like skin reflecting a beautiful luster under the lantern light, and he could even smell the charming fragrance of the little daughter-in-law's delicate body.

How could the little daughter-in-law lie here? Did she think that Shopkeeper Guan was coming back today and waiting for him here as agreed?

Wu Qi's eyes fell on the private parts of his little daughter-in-law, and his breathing suddenly became short, he didn't know how many times he had looked at this body, and he was familiar with every place, but he didn't touch it with his own hands. Now, she's right in front of her!

Lust suddenly rose in Wu Qi's chest, he felt his mouth dry, and his whole body trembled slightly. He didn't even think about why his call to the little daughter-in-law just now didn't answer, but he was blinded by his wishful thinking and raging lust, and he put down the lantern, quickly stripped naked, and pounced on the little daughter-in-law's smooth and delicate body. He only wanted to possess her now, and he didn't bother to think about the consequences of doing so.

The little daughter-in-law's delicate body was very comfortable, but it was also very cold, like a piece of ice. Maybe it's because I haven't covered the quilt all the time.

Wu Qi didn't care about this, and went into battle with a gun. He has always despised the incompetence of the shopkeeper Guan to surrender his gun without a cup of tea, but after he did so, he realized that he was not even as good as the shopkeeper Guan, and after a few intrusions, he had already fallen into a thousand miles without entering.

At this outburst, his head immediately cleared up a lot, and he was suddenly afraid, he was a forced annihilator, and he would kill his head!

He trembled and got up, knelt on the side of the bed and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry ......, I'm sorry............ I was wrong, you can do whatever you want me to do, please don't sue the official ......, please......"

The little daughter-in-law stood motionless with her back facing the sky, her eyes looking straight up, and there was no response.

At the beginning, the little daughter-in-law was pressed under the shopkeeper, it was like this, it was a kind of helplessness, could it be that the little daughter-in-law recognized her being raped by herself as a kind of helplessness? That is, she won't denounce herself?

Wu Qi suddenly became happy, salivating and said: "You are so beautiful, I, I like you so much, so ......, hehe, I'm sorry, I gave you all the money I have saved in the past few years, more than 5,000 yuan." Just don't tell me, okay? ”

The little daughter-in-law still didn't move. Nothing happened.

Wu Qidao: "If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise, thank you!" Thank you! I'm going to get the money! ”

Wu Qi jumped out of bed, ran back to the lobby with his bare buttocks, and took out a small cloth bag he hid there from under a coffin, which was covered with a bag of copper coins, he ran back with it, and saw that the little daughter-in-law was still lying there on her back, so he put the copper coins next to her pillow and said, "This is all my money, you promised me, don't report me!" ”

After that, Wu Qi waited for a while, but the little daughter-in-law still didn't move, thinking that the money had been given, and she didn't really do it like Guan Shopkeeper just now, and she was a bit of a loss, so she dared to salivate and said, "Can I still do it with you once?" Just once! I promise! - If you don't speak, I'll say yes. ”

Wu Qi climbed up again and began to learn to close the shopkeeper's actions, but he couldn't get in, so he learned to close the shopkeeper's mouth again.

This time, he felt that something was wrong, because when he kissed his mouth, he didn't feel the breathing sound of his little daughter-in-law!

Wu Qi chuckled in his heart, and quickly stood up and looked at her. But his body blocked the light of the lantern on the coffee table, and he couldn't see the little daughter-in-law's face clearly, so he got up and grabbed the lantern and went up to take a photo, only to find that the little daughter-in-law's face was bruised and swollen, and her eyes were bulging out!

He was so frightened that the lantern almost fell on the bed—was it sick or, dead?

Wu Qi's heart was beating suddenly, he put the lantern on the ground, pushed the little daughter-in-law, and still didn't move, so he had the courage to put his ear to the little daughter-in-law's towering twin peaks and listen carefully.

No heartbeat!

She's dead!

I'm holding a corpse!

Wu Qi was so frightened that he rushed to the back door, pulled out the latch, and rushed out with his bare buttocks, screaming:

"Someone! Murder ......! ”

――――――――――――――――

When Leng Yi came to the coffin shop, the entire scene had been completely destroyed.

Because Wu Qi rushed out naked, the pedestrians in the alley went in to see the excitement when they heard him say, and found the naked body of the little daughter-in-law on the bed, so they decided that it was Wu Qi who shouted to catch the thief, held him down and beat him violently, and then reported to the official.

When Leng Yi arrived with the catcher, many people who were watching the excitement entered the scene to see the ** female corpse. A zealous old woman took a quilt and covered the corpse.

Leng Yi saw that the scene was destroyed in a mess, and he was very helpless, so he had to order the catcher to quickly get rid of the excitement, pull out the cordon, and then step into the back room.

As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help frowning. Because there was a faint smell in this room, which was nothing to say, it was very strange, a little like the smell of blood, and a little like the medicinal fragrance of herbs. ――How can there be such a smell in the coffin shop?

Leng Yi looked down and looked around, but he didn't see any bloodstains or medicinal herbs. Maybe someone from the people who just came in brought it in with such a smell? Or is it a neighbor floating in?

Leng Yi didn't know why for a while, so he first took a brief look at the scene and the corpse on the bed, and then ordered Wu Qi to be called to the door to ask.

Wu Qi had already been beaten and his nose and face were swollen, and he had already been chained with a chain. However, he wore pants, but his upper body was still **. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't know what to say.

After Leng Yi asked Wu Qi's name and other basic information, he said, "Did you kill this woman?" ”

Wu Qi finally reacted, knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed, "It's not me, it's really not me!" Big Master, Big Master Qingtian, I didn't kill her, I really didn't kill her! ”

"But the people who twisted you to the yamen said that they saw you running out of here with your whole body!"

"Yes, but I really didn't kill it. I found her dead and was terrified, so I rushed out and screamed. ”

"Okay, you tell me what happened."

"Good! Just now, I was getting ready to go to bed, and I heard a movement in the back room, so I went in to look, and when I found her dead in bed, I ran out and called someone, and that's it. ”

"Then why are you all **?"

"I'm ......, I'm stripped naked when I sleep......"

"Really?"

“…… It's true. Wu Qi lowered his head.

Leng Yi stepped into the back room, and Cheng Luojie followed her, carrying a lantern to illuminate him. Leng Yi walked to the bedside, took the lantern from Cheng Luojie's hand, took care of the little daughter-in-law's legs, and found the mess of filth.

Cheng Luojie also saw it, he and Leng Yi had been husband and wife, so they naturally knew what this was, and couldn't help blushing and saying angrily: "This beast!" He's lying! ”

Leng Yi nodded, ordered Wu Qi to be brought in, pointed and asked, "How do you explain this?" ”

Wu Qi's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a grunt: "I was wrong, master, that thing is mine, but I didn't kill her, it's true, after I had sex with her, I found out that she was dead." I really didn't kill her! ”

Leng Yi reached out and touched the limbs of the deceased, and then touched the armpit of the deceased to feel the body temperature of the deceased. Then, he picked up the deceased's arm and tried to bend it, but it didn't work. He took the dead man's foot again and tried it, but he could not bend it.

Leng Yi turned around and asked Wu Qi, "What's going on?" You say it as it is! Don't tell a lie again! ”

"Yes, yes! The villain doesn't dare anymore! ”

Wu Qi told the whole thing again, saying that the little daughter-in-law used her body to exchange coffins with the shopkeeper Guan to restrain his dead son, and also talked about her peeping at the little daughter-in-law and the shopkeeper Guan, and also said that she went to help people do funerals three days ago, came back in the afternoon, and kept vigil alone at night, and found the little daughter-in-law lying naked on the bed, so she defiled her, only to find that she was dead. After finishing speaking, he shouted again.

Leng Yi immediately instructed Wu Zhutou to take someone to check if the shopkeeper Guan had returned, and immediately summoned the shopkeeper to the yamen for questioning, and notified the lady of the shopkeeper to come to the yamen for questioning, to find out the relevant situation, and at the same time summoned the two guys in the coffin shop, and notified the husband of the little daughter-in-law to identify the body, and then ordered Wu Qi to be taken down.

Then, Leng Yi asked the yamen to quickly investigate and visit the neighbors around the coffin shop, and asked if any suspicious people or things were found.

After the deployment, Leng Yi first checked the crime scene, but unfortunately, because there were many people who came in, the original appearance of the scene had been destroyed, and no useful clues could be found.

Leng Yi then examined the body in detail. As a result, on the neck of the deceased, a choke mark was found! And the life reflection is obvious, which is a prenatal injury. At the same time, on the back of the corpse's arm, abrasions were found that had formed during the struggle. Combined with the bruising of the face and scattered bleeding points, conjunctival hyperemia and edema, and needle-like bleeding spots on the eyelids, it was preliminarily confirmed that it was a mechanical suffocation death caused by strangulation.

Cheng Luojie said: "There is no doubt that Wu Qi did it!" ”

Leng Yi shook his head: "If it is verified that Wu Qi did go out for three days and only came back today, it can basically be ruled out that he did it." ”

Cheng Luojie said curiously: "Why? ”

"The deceased was not just killed, because the corpse had developed a mortis, and the mortis was already all over the body. This indicates that the body has been dead for at least six hours, but not more than twelve hours. And at that time, Wu Qi had not yet returned. ”

Cheng Luojie was even more surprised: "Can you judge the time when the deceased was killed from the corpse?" ”

"Well, but this is only an approximate time, in order to judge a more accurate time of death, it is necessary to combine the temperature of the corpse, the degree of cornea cloudiness, and the condition of the corpse spots."

"yes?" Cheng Luojie's eyes showed a glint of admiration, "You know so much." ”

"This is the basic common sense of solving the case, and it must be known. I learned from me. ”

"A big man took the initiative to ask for an autopsy, I'm afraid that you are the only one in the entire Great Song Dynasty!"

Leng Yi smiled faintly and said, "However, there is one thing that is very strange. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The body spots of the deceased were very slight and very light."

"What does that mean?"

"In general, corpse spots appear little or no only when there is heavy blood loss. And I checked just now, except for the abrasions formed by resistance, there were no external injuries on the deceased's body, and there was no blood on the ground, that is, the deceased did not die of heavy hemorrhage. But why there are so few corpse spots, I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"If you catch the real murderer, you'll understand!" Cheng Luojie said, "Although it wasn't Wu Qi's doing, his attempt to annihilate the woman is also a crime!" ”

"That's right, he's at least trying to get rid of it. Because he thought that the deceased was still alive and carried out forcible annihilation, it was still the crime of forcible annihilation, but because the victim was already dead, it was an attempt that the subject could not commit. ”

Cheng Luojie looked at him with wide eyes, she naturally didn't understand Leng Yi's modern criminal law theory, but she used to be the queen's personal bodyguard, and she didn't know much about the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, so she didn't hear anything wrong.

Cheng Luojie said: "Then since it wasn't Wu Qi who did it, who could it be?" Could it be the shopkeeper? Killing people because they are worried about the revelation of their love? ”

"Wu Qi said just now, Guan Shopkeeper left two days ago to buy goods, if it is verified, he is not a criminal."

Cheng Luojie frowned and said, "Could it be that the other two guys did it?" ”

"There is this possibility, they have the time to commit the crime. However, if they did it, why didn't they dispose of the body for two days? Instead, let the corpse sit on the shopkeeper's cot? ”

"yes, that's weird. Could it be a flower thief running around? ”

"If the woman was killed in her own home, this possibility is very small, but if she died in the room of the coffin shop, this possibility is very small."

Cheng Luojie said: "This is the place where the shopkeeper Guan and the deceased are killed, in fact, the biggest suspect should be the shopkeeper Guan, but unfortunately he left two days ago." And the deceased was only six hours old. - No, six hours ago, it should have been daylight, when the two men from the coffin shop were in the shop, and the murderer killed the woman in the back room, didn't they both hear? When did this woman come? ”

Leng Yi said: "Yes, many of the circumstances are still unknown, and it is impossible to lock down the suspect, and now we need to visit the surrounding area as much as possible." Look for as many clues as possible. ”

"yes. For example, in this shopkeeper, he can use the excuse to buy goods, but in fact, he quietly returns to commit the crime, kills his mistress and then leaves quietly. ”

"The possible surname you said does exist, we must find the shopkeeper as soon as possible and verify his whereabouts on this day."

The catcher who went to Guan Shopkeeper's house to check was about to come back, saying that Guan Shopkeeper had not come back after going out to buy goods, and his wife had already brought it.

The shopkeeper's wife, Luo Shi, had already heard the yamen talk about it, and knew that a young woman died naked on the bed in the coffin shop of her house, and she was so frightened that she lost her face, but she couldn't see it with a sideways face.

Luo Shi said to Leng Yifu: "The women of the people visit the eldest master. ”

Leng Yi said: "You go and see the woman who died in your coffin shop to see if you know her." ”

Luo Shi agreed, walked over tremblingly, glanced at it, quickly turned his face back, shook his head and said, "The woman doesn't know this person." I don't know how she died in my coffin shop. ”

"The person who found the body was Wu Qi, a man from your coffin shop, who said that he saw your husband and the deceased and met here every three days. Do you know any of these? ”

"Huh?" Luo's eyes widened, although there was such a big thing, but Luo's voice was still so soft, slow and methodical, it didn't seem to be in a hurry, in fact, she was about to be angry in her heart, "No wonder I always feel that he has always been in a good mood during this time, and he likes to dress up, and he has a different taste of rouge powder from me." It's the kind of inferior rouge gouache. I thought he went to Chunhug to find Sister Yao, but he was fooling around with this shameless slut? Ah no, maybe it's this slut who seduces my man, it must be so, my man is still very responsible. It is impossible to do such a thing unless someone seduces. - What about Wu Qi? Wu Qi! Wu Qi! ”

Roche had tried hard to shout loudly, but she spoke softly, and it sounded as if she were summoning a lover.

"Wu Qi has been imprisoned by the yamen, and he is not here. What do you tell him to do? ”
