The first person to find the body of You Sifang was Xiao Yong, a villager from Cuiping Village.

When Xiao Yong went to Cuiping Mountain to hunt in the morning, he walked to the shore of Cuiping Lake, and when he stood on the shore and looked, he found the corpse in the lake.

Xiao Yong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to the county government to report the case.

After Song Ruilong received the murder, he immediately summoned the head catchers of the county government to come to the scene of the crime.

Several officials swam to the side of the deceased and with great difficulty pulled the deceased to the shore.

After conducting an autopsy on the deceased, Zhang Meixian said to Song Ruilong: "The deceased, male, was about forty years old. Judging from the pinch marks on his neck, he was pinched with his hands before he died. Judging from the water in his stomach, he was drowned after falling into the water. Judging by his lips, he was poisoned to death. There are a lot of toxins in the stomach. What this poison is, I don't know for the time being. ”

Su Xianrong said: "The deceased was pinched, poisoned, and flooded, so what was the reason for his death?"

Zhang Meixian said: "It is certain that the deceased did not commit suicide. Although his neck was choked, he was not strangled to death, and it is impossible for a person who is strangled to death still drink water. The real cause of his death was because he drank too much water and drowned. ”

Su Xianrong said in surprise: "What effect did the poison on the deceased's body play?"

Zhang Meixian said: "That kind of poison is not a strong poison, but it is a deadly poison. If that poison had attacked, he would still have died from the poison. However, he had already drowned before the poison could take place. ”

Song Ruilong said: "In other words, even if the deceased is not drowned in the water, he will not survive."

Zhang Meixian sighed: "I really don't know, what kind of hatred the murderer has with the deceased, and he actually used three methods to kill the deceased."

Song Ruilong said: "Do you think the deceased was killed by one person?"

Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong in surprise and said, "Brother Song, doesn't you think that the deceased was killed by one person?"

"Absolutely not. You see. The deceased was holding a golden hairpin in his hand, which must have been something on the woman's head. Why did the deceased carry a golden hairpin at night? Unless the golden hairpin was taken from the woman's head. Look again, there are still a few hairs in the hands of the deceased. The hair was supposed to have been ripped from the murderer's head. ”

Su Xianrong listened carefully and said, "But Brother Song, you just said that it was two people who killed the deceased, and one person can be sure that she is a woman." So is the other person male or female? ”

Song Ruilong thought for a while and said, "A woman's strength is very weak, she wants to throw the huge deceased into the water, but I'm afraid she can't do it." Then the other person must be a man. ”

Su Xianrong said disapprovingly: "Is it a bit arbitrary for Brother Song to decide the case like this?" Like me and Bi Xiao, if we want to throw this dead man into the lake, we don't need the help of anyone else at all. ”

Song Ruilong looked at Su Xianrong and said, "You and Bi Xiao have both practiced martial arts, and your arm strength is that ten men can't compare, so you and Bi Xiao don't need anyone's help at all to throw the dead into the lake."

Su Xianrong nodded and said, "Then why do you still say that the woman must have a man to help?"

Song Ruilong said lightly: "There are two reasons. First, if you're the woman. When you kill the dead, will you let the dead take the golden hairpin off your head? ”

Su Xianrong shook his head and said, "With my martial arts, I can take the life of a person who doesn't know martial arts without making a move, and I won't give him a chance to fight back at all."

Song Ruilong said: "Then let me ask you again, if you are a woman with high martial arts, will you throw him into the lake after killing someone?"

Su Xianrong shook his head and said, "No." Because throwing the dead into the lake and putting them on the shore gives the same result. It will soon be discovered. If the murderer wanted to avoid the government's investigation, he should have buried the body. Or sink into the lake with stones. However, through our examination of the body, there are no signs of the deceased's body being pressed by large stones, what does this mean? ”

Su Xianrong suddenly realized and said, "What Brother Song means is that the murderer's purpose in throwing the deceased into the lake is to create the illusion that the deceased was accidentally falling into the lake. Right? ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "If this is the case, then the murderer is only three people."

Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong in surprise and said, "Three people? How? ”

Song Ruilong said: "The person who poisoned him." Song Ruilong looked at the simple room in front of him and said, "Let's go, let's go to that room and have a look."

Wei Bixi walked to Song Ruilong's side and said, "Brother Song, You Sihai said that the deceased is likely to be his brother You Sifang. He wanted to come and see the body. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "Let him come over!"

The figure of the swimmer is the same as that of the deceased. Very tall. The two of them have one thing in common, that is, their heads and earlobes are exceptionally long.

You Sihai glanced at the deceased, and he cried bitterly and said, "Big brother, you died so miserably!" Who did you tell your brother who killed you? ”

Song Ruilong looked at You Sihai and said, "Are you sure that the deceased is your brother You Sifang?"

You Sihai nodded painfully and said, "Xiaomin can be sure that he is Xiaomin's elder brother You Sifang." Xiaomin's brother is the village chief of Cuiping Village, he contracted this Cuiping Lake, and raised a lot of fish in the lake, some villagers are always unconscious, sometimes in the middle of the night the third watch will come to steal fish, Xiaomin's brother built a simple house on the shore of this Cuiping Lake, and he lived in that room at night. Last night, someone may have stolen the fish and was discovered by Xiaomin's brother, so the fish thief killed Xiaomin's brother. ”

Song Ruilong said: "As long as the identity of the deceased is confirmed, the next thing will be handed over to the county." ”

Song Ruilong asked Wei Bixi and Liu Tianxiong to visit You Sifang's situation, he and Su Xianrong came to the hut where You Sifang lived, and in the house, Su Xianrong saw a bed, a table, and a kettle.

There was also a candle on the table that had only burned a little.

Su Xianrong felt that the candle was a little different from ordinary candles, and she said to Song Ruilong: "Brother Song, look, this candle looks white from top to bottom, but if you look at it from the side, the whole candle is pink. This candle is a little different from a regular candle. ”

Song Ruilong looked elsewhere, he found a candle that had not burned in a ceramic jar at the door, Song Ruilong picked up the candle and compared it with the candle on the table, he actually found a major secret. (To be continued.) )
