Chapter 129: Luohua Jade
"Nonsense, if the murderer is here for the 'snail jade', why do he want to kill people?" Wang Buquan's eyes were cold, and he said step by step.
"Okay, then I'll tell you my reasoning." Li Canghai weighed the strange stone in his hand, pointed to the corpse and said: "The deceased was bathing when he died, and judging from the traces of the struggle in front of the deceased's arm, the murderer should have been too light on her." The situation at that time should be like this, the murderer hid in the room early in the morning, and while the deceased was bathing, he stole the 'snail jade', but when he wanted to leave, he saw the deceased in the bath, and he had a bad thought, so he used wet wipes and the like to suffocate the deceased. ”
Speaking of this, Li Canghai paused, pinched the strand of velvet thread, and said: "This was found from the deceased's nasal cavity, plus the red spots that appeared on the lower eyelids, it can basically be concluded that the deceased was first stunned with a towel before committing murder." ”
Seeing Wang Buquan's expression of disbelief, Li Canghai walked to the barrel, pointed to the deceased's two arms and said: "I think the murderer must have taken advantage of the deceased's coma to take advantage of the opportunity to be light, but he didn't expect the deceased to wake up suddenly, so he grabbed the deceased's arms, and the deceased struggled, which left abrasions on the inside of his arms." ”
"It's impossible for the maid outside the door not to hear such a big movement." Wang Buquan dispelled Li Canghai's doubts a lot, and he said with some puzzlement.
Li Canghai smiled faintly: "You forgot, the maid once found that his wife was in a coma, left the wing, and went to the main hall to report." It was during this time that the murderer committed the murder and fled before we arrived. ”
Wang Buquan was silent, and after a while, he muttered: "According to what you said, the murderer may have already fled from the left house and is missing. ”
Li Canghai shook his head, squinted his eyes and said: "That's not necessarily, when we came, not long after the lady died, at the same time, the housekeeper blocked the entire mansion, I think the murderer must still be in the left mansion and did not escape." ”
"Since the murderer didn't escape, then go and search quickly, even if this mansion is turned upside down, I must find out! I'm going to skin him to pay tribute to my wife's soul!" Zuo Hongji's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared like a madman.
Li Canghai's brows furrowed, although he found out the murderer's killing methods, he had no clue who the murderer was.
He decided to take a second look around the corpse to see if he could find the key that had been missed.
Next to the barrel is a wooden table on the left, on which are placed various messy headdresses, and judging from the scene, the hairpin of the murder should have been placed on the wooden table.
This wooden table is placed next to the barrel, which is used to put the headdress when the woman bathes, and it can be easily touched by stretching out half an arm.
Li Canghai stood by the barrel, closed his eyes, and tried to simulate the details of the murder in his mind.
So, a picture came to his mind.
The murderer, who was covered in darkness, desperately pressed the deceased's arm, and the deceased struggled to resist. During the struggle, the murderer reached out and grabbed the hairpin on the wooden table, and then brutally killed the deceased.
All this seems reasonable, but the question is who is the murderer?
Li Canghai carefully observed the corpse, the corpse often gave more information than the scene, and the most important thing was to be credible, because the living can deceive people, but the dead cannot.
This time, he examined it very carefully, from the corpse's hair to the nose, and examined it again.
A moment later, he found some dander in the three fingernails of the deceased's right hand.
Li Canghai was overjoyed, he hurriedly took out a white cloth handkerchief, and carefully removed the dander with tweezers.
"Instead of looking for the murderer, what are you doing with this?" Wang Buquan saw that he had made some skin crumbs from the deceased's fingernails, and said with some disgust.
"The county lieutenant doesn't know anything, and with this, I can find out the murderer." Li Canghai said confidently.
These skin fragments seem useless, but they contain a lot of information, but unfortunately there are no biological laboratories in this era, otherwise it is easy to find the murderer with just these skin fragments.
However, these are enough for Li Canghai.
"Can you really find the murderer?" Wang Buquan squinted at him, still full of disbelief.
Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "This is natural, the county lieutenant has summoned everyone to the main hall, and I want to find out the murderer in public." ”
Wang Buquan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is already waiting in the main hall, I want to see how you find the murderer." ”
In the main hall, all the servants of the left house were all present, about twenty or thirty people.
"With so many people, who do you say is the murderer?" Wang Buquan put his hands behind his back and said with a grim expression.
Li Canghai walked a few steps back and forth in front of those people, turned to the maid and said, "Who got the hot water that Madame used for bathing?" ”
"The three of them." The maid pointed to the three servants standing next to each other and replied honestly.
Li Canghai glanced at the three domestic servants, cleared his voice, and said, "Everyone also knows that Madame was killed, and the murderer is among you. I hope that the murderer can admit it himself, confess leniently, resist strictly, and strive for leniency! ”
The servants looked at each other, and after a few moments, no one came forward.
Li Canghai snorted, and he continued: "I have long known the identity of the murderer, and if I stand up, you can be regarded as surrendering, if I find out, this crime will be serious." ”
Zuo Hongji sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and he shouted angrily: "Li Cang, hurry up and find out the murderer, Lao Tzu is going to kill him!" ”
Li Canghai sighed, he shook his head and said, "This opportunity has already been given, since you refuse to come out, then I have to do it." ”
Walking in front of the three domestic servants, these three people were two fat and one thin, and they were stared at by Li Canghai's eyes and felt uncomfortable.
Li Canghai pointed to the person in the middle with his hand and said coldly: "Madam, you killed it, didn't you?" ”
The thin servant panicked, shook his head desperately, and said, "Wronged, I didn't kill anyone!" ”
"Whether I wronged you or not, we'll find out later." Li Canghai smiled coldly, suddenly squatted down, grabbed the thin servant's left leg, and pulled out a finger-sized jade nut from his shoes and socks.
Zuo Hongji recognized this nut, which was the treasure of his life - snail jade!
"Okay, you turtle slave, it turns out that you stole the 'Luohua Jade'! Say, "Why did you kill Madame?" Zuo Hongji jumped up suddenly, rushed over directly, kicked the thin servant on the waist, kicked the thin servant to the ground, and roared angrily.
The thin servant saw that the 'Luohua Jade' was searched, and his face instantly lost blood, he didn't care about the pain, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The old man spares his life, the old man spares his life...... The little ghost is obsessed, so I stole the master's treasure, but I didn't kill the lady! ”
