Luo Panya hatefully kicked the cow dung corpse on the ground, spat it again, pointed at Panya's daughter-in-law and said, "Don't howl here, go back and settle accounts with you!" ”

Banya's daughter-in-law howled: "Okay, forget it! Sort of! It's best for you to strangle me with a rope! Anyway, I have enough to follow you through the hardships! Oh my god, woo-woo-woo......"

"Alright, alright!" Uncle Qi said, "Don't say it!" We're looking into the case! ”

"What to check?" Banya's daughter-in-law said: "You are not a government official, why are you investigating the case?" ”

Leng Yi said: "The murderer is by our side, if it is not revealed, it will be very dangerous, just like a hungry wolf sitting next to him." So, you have to find him out as much as you can. ”

Uncle Qi said, "I also agree to find out." ”

Luo Panya said: "That's it, anyway, there is nothing left and right, this person is dead, Brother Leng said, the murderer is likely to be someone who is familiar with him, that is, a few of us." How can you sleep soundly without finding out the murderer? ”

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Leng Yi said: "According to the verification just now, our husband and wife and Uncle Qi and his wife have alibi evidence, and it is impossible to commit a crime. And the two of you—" he looked at Luo Panya and Jiao Laosan, "neither of you nor you have any witnesses to prove that you were not present at the time of the crime. Especially Brother and Mrs. Luo, you were the first to discover the deceased, and you have a grudge against the deceased, so you are currently the most suspicious. ”

Banya's daughter-in-law was stunned: "I knew earlier, I didn't say anything when I saw it, so that's good." ”

"Don't worry, saying that you are suspicious does not mean that you are a criminal, but a way to eliminate criminals. So, if you think about it, what else can prove that you are not at the scene of the murder? ”

Jiao Laosan said: "By the way, when the sun rose, I was awakened by urine, got up and went to the back of the house to pee, at that time the sun had just come out from behind the mountain, I heard a bang in the well in front of Ma Yan's house, as if something had fallen on the ground, I heard Uncle Qi just say that he was getting up early to carry water, was that his bucket fell to the ground?" ”

Uncle Qi said: "Yes, it was not dawn at that time, I tripped over a stone by the well, and almost fell, the bucket fell to the ground and overturned, and I carried water again." ”

Leng Yi nodded and said, "When did you get up?" ”

"At dawn, the sun just came out."

"Well, where we came here just now, from where to the scene of the crime, it took one meal (half an hour), and two meals (an hour), that is, half an hour. Since you heard the sound of Uncle Qi's bucket falling on the ground, and got Uncle Qi's proof, it means that you were at home at the time, and it happened to be the time when the deceased was killed, in this case, you can't be in two places. So, you can rule out the suspicion of murder! ”

Jiao Laosan said happily: "I'll just say it, although I hate cow dung, but I won't kill him." ”

Jiao Lao's third daughter-in-law said: "If this is the case, I can also prove that I have no time to kill." ”

"Oh, what's the proof?"

"I went to cut pigweed in the direction of Devil's Axe Cliff, which is just the opposite direction of Cow Dung's house. There's no way I'm going to turn over and go to their house and kill people and then come back and cut pigweed. I came back from cutting a basket full of pigweed, and when I came back, Aunt Sun and they all saw it. ”

Sun nodded: "Yes, the third daughter-in-law came back from the Ghost Axe Cliff with a basket full of pigweed. ”

"How long has the sun been up then?"

Sun and Zhuo Qiaoniang glanced at each other, thought for a while, and said, "It shouldn't take more than a meal to rise." ”

Leng Yi said to the third daughter-in-law: "You also have to prove that when the sun rises, you are where you are and you are not at the scene." ”

"When the sun rises?" Jiao's third daughter-in-law thought for a while and said, "By the way, I just slipped and fell at that time, my hand was cut by a sickle, and I lost a lot of blood. Well, that's it. The third daughter-in-law stretched out a thick arm, and sure enough, there was a cut, which was new and had not yet scabbed.

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Yesterday when I cooked, my sister-in-law's hands were not injured, and this injury should be today." ”

"Where are you hurt?"

"At the Three Old Stones. I'm still there washing my hands, and there should be my blood on the rocks by the creek. ”

"Three old stones?"

Uncle Qi said: "It's three big stones on the side of the Ghost Axe Cliff, just like three old men, so it's called the three old stones." It's in the ditch. ”

"How far away from here."

"It's quite far, and it takes a meal to get there from our house, and it takes at least two meals to run there, plus this section of the road."

Leng Yi asked Uncle Qi, "When did you see the third daughter-in-law going to cut pigweed?" ”

"When I first started carrying water, I usually started carrying water about a meal before the sun came out, and that's when I started."

Leng Yi said: "That is to say, the third daughter-in-law went out to cut pigweed during a meal before the sun came out, and came back at a meal time after the sun came out." There are two meals in the middle, which is half an hour (an hour), and it takes one meal to get from home to Sanlaoshi, and from there to the murder scene here, it takes three meals. That is to say, the third daughter-in-law did not have time to commit the crime. Of course, the premise is that there are indeed traces of the third daughter-in-law's blood in the third old stone, which proves that she had been there in the morning. ”

Jiao Laosan said: "That's easy, just find someone to check it out." ”

Sun said, "Why don't I go." I'm not suspicious anymore anyway. Uncle Qi said, "Yes, you can bring another person." Just trouble Daddy Panya to go there, right? ”

Luo Panya's father agreed and followed the Sun family.

Leng Yi looked at Luo Panya and his daughter-in-law, and said, "If there is indeed blood, the suspicion of Lajiao and his daughter-in-law is gone, and the rest is only the two of you." Think about it, is there any evidence that you were not at the scene? ”

Luo Panya said with a bitter face: "What other evidence do I have?" I was literally sleeping at home. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a child's voice next to me say, "My father is sleeping in the house, I saw it." ”

Everyone looked down, and the youngest son of Luo Panya was standing there barefoot, with a runny nose, sucking his fingers.

Leng Yi squatted down and said, "What do you see?" ”

"In the morning I went to the glutinous rice cake to eat, and my father's door was not closed, so I went in, and took a glutinous rice cake out of the wooden basin, and my father turned over and knocked off the pillow, and scared me. Giggles. ”

"When was that?"

"When the sun comes out. Just came out. The little guy blinked.

Luo Panya happily hugged his son: "Good son, fortunately you saw your father and I sleeping in the house, haha, - Brother Leng, I also have witnesses, I didn't kill cow dung!" ”

Leng Yi looked at the little guy and said, "It stands to reason that such a young child can't testify." However, if the child does not understand the stakes of such a thing, he will not take the initiative to help you lie, and you do not have time to teach him to lie, so it seems that the child's testimony is credible. ”

Uncle Qi also nodded and said, "Yes, children don't lie." ”

Leng Yi looked at Banya's daughter-in-law: "Now, it's just you." It's really hard to prove this. ”

Banya's daughter-in-law had already gotten up from the ground, and said with tears in her eyes: "I really didn't kill him, if I kill him, will I still run to tell you that he is dead?" I guess it's better to pretend I don't know anything, right? ”

Jiao Laosan said: "It is common for thieves to shout to catch thieves. ”

"Jiao Laosan! I know you! You! ”

"You can't say that!" Uncle Qi said, "Jiao Laosan is not wrong, now that the case is investigated, everyone has evidence to prove that he was not present, but you are the only one, not only present, but also have an unclear relationship or grievance with cow dung......

"Why can't I get out of the way with him?"

Jiao Laosan said: "Come on, do you still deny it?" You said he wanted to get you, borrowed you a cow, one day at a time, you didn't do it, and almost popped his balls, right? ”

"yes!"

"Then why did he let you pick cow dung again?"

"I, how do I know, maybe he wants to give me some benefits, so that I can get some cheapness! He asked me to pick, I picked, I wanted to take advantage, no way! Anyway, I'm not afraid of shadows! Believe it or not! ”

"I believe you have a hammer!" Luo Panya slapped his head and face again, "You slut! ”

Banya's daughter-in-law did not show weakness, reached out and scratched Panya's face, and a commotion came down, and when the two of them were pulled apart, the two fingers on Banya's daughter-in-law's face were red, and Luo Panya was also caught several times. It's scolding, crying, and making trouble. Not open.

Finally, the lieutenant took Minzhuang to run in a panic, his village had a murder, as the person in charge of Baojia, he was to take responsibility, his face was white in a panic, after coming, he asked about the situation, and heard that no one else could commit a crime, only Banya's daughter-in-law was a major suspect, and immediately ordered Minzhuang to tie up Banya's daughter-in-law and send it to the yamen.

Leng Yi said: "Don't rush first!" ”

Li Chang glanced at Leng Yi, saw his expressionless face, a little scary, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Leng Liulang from Kuli Village. Go to the front of the Devil's Axe Cliff to collect medicine. This is my guide. Leng Yi took out a road and handed it over. This is what he prepared before he came, he is the magistrate, and it is too easy to prepare the road guide.

After the lieutenant saw it, he was right, and returned the road to him, saying, "What did you mean when you said that you were not in a hurry?" ”

Leng Yi said: "Suspecting that Luo Panya's daughter-in-law is the murderer, it's just our random speculation, we can't do it accurately, whether it is a suspect or not, this has to be decided by the yamen, we don't count, so, I suggest that the lieutenant chief should send someone to the county government to ask for arrest and come to investigate." If someone from another village did it, wouldn't it be a mistake to arrest the innocent people in your village, and it's a woman, so you should be more cautious. ”

The lieutenant also didn't want the murderer to be from his own village, it would be better if it was really from another village, so Leng Yi's words reached his heart, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, don't arrest it first, send someone to report the case immediately!" ”
