Chapter 322: Capture the Real Murderer
Yang Qiuchi took Song Yun'er to the signing room, and Zhan Zhutou said excitedly: "Sir, I found out, that person is a fisherman fishing on the Ba River, named Wang Dong." Someone saw him come out with a thin iron chain from the backyard guys' house, and asked him, and he said that the men had promised to bring him back to tie the fishing boat, and that the thin chain was worth nothing anyway, so they let him go. ”
Yang Qiuchi was very happy and asked, "Where is this Wang Dong fishing in the Ba River, have you found out?" ”
"I found out, he often fishes in the area of Liuli Village!"
That's right! Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed and ordered: "Gather and catch quickly, let's go and catch that Wang Dong!" ”
Zhan Zhutou agreed repeatedly. To catch the suspects in such ordinary criminal cases, Zhan Zhengzhan did his best to catch the head.
Soon the team was assembled, and the team went straight to Liuli Village.
Shuang'er and Xue'er knew that Yang Qiuchi had finally discovered a major suspect this time, and they were very excited to follow Yang Qiuchi to see the excitement.
Soon, they came to Liuli Village.
There are several fishing boats roaming the river, and several others resting on the shore.
Zhan Catcher took the head of the fishing to the river to ask about the situation, no coincidence, the fishing boat he asked was the Yu Laohan father and son who reported the case last time they fished and hit Li Shiyin's dead body, as soon as they heard that the official master was investigating the case, he was very cooperative, saying that Wang Dong's fishing boat was fishing in the middle of the river.
As soon as Yu Laohan heard that this Wang Dong was likely to be the murderer who killed the dead body they caught last time, he was indignant and asked Zhan Zhutou and a few catchers to get on the fishing boat and row the boat straight to Wang Dong's fishing boat. Yang Qiuchi: They just waited by the river and watched.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, the fisherman Wang Dong was casting a fishing net on the bow of the boat, and found that a fishing boat was approaching, and there were several catchers standing on the boat, so he panicked, threw down the fishing net, and ran away with the fishing boat.
Zhan Zhutou shouted loudly: "Stop! If we don't stand any longer, we're going to release arrows! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Dong jumped into the river, and the river surface rippled a few times, and then regained calm.
It seems that this Wang Dongshui surname is very good, and he is ready to dive and escape, while Zhan Zhutou and a few other catchers are landlubbers, and they don't know what to do, Yu Laohan and Yu Tiezhu have already jumped into the river.
Zhan Zhutou and the others stood at the bow of the boat with waist knives in their hands, staring at the river that was gradually returning to calm, a little worried about whether the old man and his son could catch that Wang Dong, don't catch the murderer, and take your own life, it will be troublesome.
Just in doubt, suddenly the river surface was rolling with waves, and the three of them were fighting in the water, that Wang Dong's water surname was very good, but Yu Laohan's father and son's water surname was not worse than him, with two to one, Wang Dong had gradually fallen into the wind, and was held down by Yu Tiezhu and choked several mouthfuls of water.
Zhan Zhutou and others hurriedly rowed the fishing boat over, shouting in unison to threaten Wang Dong to surrender.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Wang Dong gave up his resistance and was dragged to the side of the fishing boat by Yu Tiezhu's father and son, and several catchers dragged him onto the fishing boat and locked him with iron chains. Yu Laohan and his son also got on the boat, first rowed the boat to Wang Dong's fishing boat, tied his fishing boat to the back, and then rowed to the shore.
This Wang Dong jumped into the river and fled when he saw that the catch was coming, obviously there was a ghost in his heart, and now he was caught, so happy that Shuang'er and Xue'er clapped their hands and smiled happily: "Master, it's amazing!" Great, the murderer has been caught! ”
Yang Qiuchi was also very happy, fortunately there were these old men and sons, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome. and gave them ten taels of silver for their father and son. Yu Laohan's father and son were overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
Wang Dong was chained and stood on the shore [***]. Yang Qiuchi asked:
"Your name is Wang Dong, isn't it?"
Wang Dong nodded.
"Li Shiyin and Li Hanbao in Liuli Village in front of you were killed by you, right?"
Wang Dong's face turned pale, and he didn't speak.
Yang Qiuchi saw that he was still lucky, so he stopped interrogating, walked to Wang Dong's fishing boat, and got on the boat.
Nangong Xiong and the other guards didn't know how to water, so they hurriedly ordered Yu Laohan and Yu Tiezhu father and son to get on the boat to protect the eldest master of Zhizhou. His father and son received this glorious task and hurried to the shore, Yu Tiezhu pulled the rope of the fishing boat to fix Wang Dong's fishing boat, and Yu Laohan went up to his own fishing boat next to him to carefully guard against the old man falling into the water.
Yang Qiuchi carefully inspected every corner of Wang Dong's fishing boat, and finally found two keys strung together in a small amount of stagnant water under the wooden planks laid on the bottom of the fishing boat.
Wang Dong's fishing boat did not have anything that needed to be locked, and if it was the key to his own house, it would not be thrown into the stagnant water under the plank. Yang Qiuchi showed the bunch of keys to Wang Dong and asked, "This bunch of keys can't be yours, right?" ”
Wang Dong was already colorless, and cowered and said, "I...... This ......"
"If my guess is correct, this set of keys should have fallen from Li Shiyin when you killed him on the fishing boat, and you didn't notice it in a panic." Yang Qiuchi said coldly, "You only need to take this key to Li Shiyin's house and open the lock, and you will know if I guessed right." ”
After that, Yang Qiuchi handed the key to Zhan Zhutou and asked him to send two catchers to Li Shiyin's house in Liuli Village to try it out to see if the key was Li Shiyin's family.
Yang Qiuchi continued to inspect Wang Dong's fishing boat, turned out a box in the canopy, opened it, and found some clothes and pants inside, and on the bottom layer, found a bulging money bag.
The string of the purse has dark red blood-like markings. Untie the money bag, and it is full of copper coins. There is also a small "Li" embroidered on the money bag, which proves that it is likely to be the deceased Li Shiyin.
Seeing this embroidered money bag, Yang Qiuchi remembered the exquisite embroidered money bag that he had deceived Song Yun'er when he had just crossed over, and he had always carried it with him, and couldn't help but glance at Song Yun'er on the shore.
Song Yun'er was also watching Yang Qiuchi search the fishing boat, and when she saw him looking at her, her eyes were somehow full of tenderness, so she naturally couldn't guess that Yang Qiuchi was recalling their first meeting at the moment, so she also smiled at him.
After the search was completed, no other evidence was found, so Yang Qiuchi took the money bag and took another oar back to shore.
Wang Dong saw Yang Qiuchi search for the money bag, his knees weakened, and he collapsed on the ground.
Yang Qiuchi asked the catcher to count the copper coins in the money bag, there were more than 3,000 Wen, it seems that this Wang Dong didn't have time to spend the money, and Yang Qiuchi was stolen.
Yang Qiuchi asked coldly: "Wang Dong, if the official guesses correctly, this money bag should be the deceased Li Shiyin's." Holding the oar, he touched the narrow side of the oar, and said, "You used this oar to slam Li Shiyin's back on the back of the head and knock him unconscious." ”
Song Yun'er took the oar from Yang Qiuchi's hand, touched the side of the oar, and suddenly realized: "I understand, this oar is like a wooden knife, split on the back of the head, and split the scalp of the deceased. There are no abrasions next to the fracture of the deceased's skull, because the oar is made of wood, which is much less hard than the skull. Am I right? Elder brother. ”
Hearing Song Yun'er's large list of forensic terms, those fast catchers looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what Song Yun'er was saying at all.
Yang Qiuchi smiled and nodded: "Very good, I Yun'er is right." I admired her in my heart for remembering it so well, she remembered everything she said before, and she would use it, and she was very happy.
Song Yun'er tilted her head proudly, smiled sweetly at Yang Qiuchi, and then turned her head to look at Wang Dong who was paralyzed on the ground, with a pretty face: "You dog thief, you have all the stolen goods, and you still don't confess, do you have to wait for the eldest master to torture?"
Wang Dong trembled and turned over, knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi: "Villain...... The villain is recruited. ”
It turned out that Li Shiyin drove the cattle to Bazhou City to sell them that day, passing by here, the two met and said hello, this Wang Dong knew that Li Shiyin was going to sell cattle.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Dong went to the boat house in the city to pay the boat gang's help fee, and happened to meet the business firm guy Long Er carrying the bundle of mats to the guy's residence, Wang Dong saw the thin iron chain on the ground that bundled the mat, so he told Long Er and took it away, ready to be used as a boat rope.
Wang Dong returned to his fishing boat near the lime kiln in Liuli Village, and it was already evening, and before he had time to change the boat line, he leaned the boat on the shore and began to cook dinner, burning a fish.
At this time, Li Shiyin came back from selling cattle from Bazhou City and passed by here, smelled the fragrance, and praised the fragrance.
When Wang Dong saw him come back empty-handed, he knew that his cattle had been sold, and seeing that it was getting late and there was no one around, he suddenly had bad intentions and pretended to invite Li Shiyin to come on the fishing boat to drink. Li Shiyin was already a little drunk in Bazhou City, and of course he agreed.
While the two were drinking, while Li Shiyin was unprepared, Wang Dong slammed Li Shiyin's head with an oar from behind, knocked him unconscious, robbed him of his money bag, and then found a stone, tied the stone to Li Shiyin's neck with the thin iron chain that he got back from the boatman's trading house, rowed the fishing boat to the middle of the river, pushed the unconscious Li Shiyin off the fishing boat, sank into the water and drowned.
The place where the deceased sank to the bottom of the water was near the lime kiln, and there was lime residue in the silt at the bottom of the river. It was the lime particles in the deceased's fingernails and the thin iron chain around his neck that guided Yang Qiuchi to find the real murderer.
At this time, the catcher who went to Liuli Village to check the keys had already rushed back with the deceased Li Shiyin's wife, Wu, and reported to Yang Qiuchi that after testing, the two keys that Yang Qiuchi found from the fishing boat were the keys to the gate and cabinet of Li Shiyin's house.
Hearing that the murderer was caught, Li Shiyin's wife Wu cried and followed, Yang Qiuchi first asked him to identify the money bag, and sure enough, it was his husband Li Shiyin's, and the word was also embroidered by her. When the truth was revealed, he returned the bag of copper coins to the Wu family.
When Wu asked, he knew that Wang Dong, who was kneeling on the ground with an iron chain, was the murderer of his husband, and cried and picked up a big stone from the ground to smash Wang Dong's head, but fortunately, the catchers stopped her quickly. Later, the villagers who came with him after hearing the news helped the Wu family scold Wang Dong bitterly, and persuaded the Wu family to return to the village.
