Chapter Eighty-Eight: Finding the Source of the Corpse
After listening to Tong Zhen's story, Liu Hua didn't know how to answer for a while? The two were silent like this, no one spoke, the room suddenly fell silent, looking at the neat and orderly furnishings around him, Liu Hua opened his mouth, wanting to mediate the atmosphere, but he didn't say anything after the end.
Just when the two of them were sad about Huang Tianxiao's experience, Huang Tianxiao held a tray in his left hand and a wine jar in his right hand, and then came to the living room like a gust of wind: "The wine and food are here, and the two adults have been waiting for a long time."
Hehe...... Later, how about you try your lowly craft? These dishes are all made by me, if they are delicious, you can praise them a lot, if it is difficult to swallow, you should also try to praise them, don't discourage my enthusiasm, today at noon, let's have a good drink. ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Tianxiao brought the four plates in the tray to the table, these four plates contained two meat and two vegetables, and a sauced beef, which was cut by Huang Tianxiao with different thicknesses, neither like a slice nor a piece.
Another portion of smoked chicken, Huang Tianxiao tore it into three parts from the middle, it seems that he plans to use one portion for each person.
As for the two dishes, they were all black, and Liu Hua couldn't recognize what the dish was, seeing that the shape was either cabbage or rape. Looking at the four dishes carefully prepared by Huang Tianxiao, Liu Hua was full of emotion in his heart, this dish looked like it was made by a man.
After pouring the wine into the wine glass, Huang Tianxiao looked at the two of them, and then chuckled: "It is estimated that the chief catcher is talking nonsense again?" My affairs have passed, let's not mention those, today to see the two adults, humble heart happy, let's have a drink first. ”
After finishing speaking, Huang Tianxiao drank all the wine in the cup, and then diligently persuaded Liu Hua and the others to drink. Liu Hua and Tong Zhen glanced at each other, then put everything else behind them, and picked up the wine glass and drank with Huang Tianxiao.
At this time, Liu Hua was holding the plate with smoked chicken in his arms, holding a chicken leg in his left hand, grasping chicken wings with his right hand, and gnawing on the chicken neck with relish in his mouth.
Huang Tianxiao was not idle, he skewered the plate of cut beef in sauce on the chopsticks, and skewered two chopsticks, and then enjoyed the delicious taste as if he was eating mutton skewers.
On the other hand, Tong Zhen, he had to use chopsticks to hold the green vegetables on the other two plates, at this time, he was holding a vegetable leaf on the corner of his mouth, and he was frowning and chewing the vegetables there vigorously, looking at the expression, as if he was eating a branch.
After chewing for a long time, Tong Zhen finally swallowed the vegetable leaves in his mouth, looked at the black vegetable leaves in front of him, and then saw that the corners of Liu Hua's mouths were full of oil and water, he couldn't help but roll his tongue and protested: "Note, note, pay attention to quality, you, you, don't patronize yourself to eat, are the three of us changing the dishes on the plate with each other?" ”
After hearing this, Liu Hua and Huang Tianxiao looked at the plate in front of them, and then looked at the plate in front of Tong Zhen, and nodded in unison, only to see Liu Hua hand the remaining half of the smoked chicken in his arms to Huang Tianxiao, and Huang Tianxiao handed the chopsticks with beef skewers to Liu Hua. ”
Looking at the movements of the two, Tong Zhen couldn't help laughing, and then Liu Hua and Huang Tianxiao also raised their heads and laughed.
After the three of them ate and drank enough, they slept in Huang Tianxiao's house, and slept until the evening, when the three of them woke up, and after washing up, Huang Tianxiao cleaned up the living room, made a cup of tea for Liu Hua and the others, and then asked:
"Two, can you tell us about your mission here? What is it about the case that has shocked you all? ”
Hearing Huang Tianxiao's inquiry, Tong Zhen took a sip of tea, and then told the ins and outs of the case of the headless female corpse, and after speaking, he looked at Huang Tianxiao: "Tianxiao, I want you to check and see if there are any women who meet the conditions of the deceased and whose whereabouts are unknown in the near future?" ”
Hearing this, Huang Tianxiao couldn't help frowning: "As far as I know, except for what happened to my family, there have been no similar vicious cases in Canal County for several years, headless female corpses?" Headless?
If the murderer does not want people to recognize the identity of the deceased, he can only disfigure the face of the deceased, but why should the murderer cut off the head of the deceased? Could it be that there are any distinguishing features of the deceased's head? Even if you are disfigured, you can still be recognized? Who could this be? ”
After Liu Hua heard Huang Tianxiao's analysis, his eyes suddenly lit up, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something? Then he turned his gaze to Huang Tianxiao, and Huang Tianxiao, who was talking to himself, also seemed to think of something, and a trace of realization flashed on his face.
After seeing the expressions of the two, Tong Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Did you think of something?" Tell me, have you found something suspicious? ”
Liu Hua and Huang Tianxiao smiled at each other, and then replied in unison, "Nun." ”
"What? Nun? What does that mean? Tong Zhen looked puzzled.
Seeing this situation, Liu Hua explained with a smile: "I was also prompted by Tianxiao to think of this, after the murderer killed the deceased, he could completely bury the body of the deceased, or throw it into the ancient canal and let the body sink to the bottom of the river."
However, before throwing the corpse, the murderer actually cut off the deceased's head first, for the sake of safety, which not only shows that the murderer was quick and ruthless, but also shows that the deceased's head has certain characteristics that can prove his identity.
What other features on a woman's head, apart from facial features, can make people identify at a glance? That is the hair, but as long as the murderer breaks the hair of the deceased after killing the deceased, no one can see the suspicion.
However, there is one kind of person who is an exception, and that is a nun, a nun who has no hair, and if we see that the deceased is a nun, we will definitely target the nunnery, so that it will not be long before we can find the source of the body, and then find the murderer.
Therefore, the murderer would cut off the head of the deceased after committing the murder, and then threw the body into the canal, but the murderer did not expect that the corpse would float down the river to Gupo Village.
However, this incident is also a bit strange, it is said that since the murderer chose to dump the body in Hanoi, in order to prevent the body from floating up, some measures should be taken? For example, if you tie a stone or an iron block to a corpse, why did you not do it? ”
After saying this, Liu Hua paused, and then asked, "Tianxiao, is there a nunnery in your Canal County?" ”
"There aren't nunnery, but?" Speaking of this, Huang Tianxiao recalled for a moment, and then said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Although there is no nunnery in this county, there are some large families in the county, because there are elders in the family who believe in the Bodhisattva, so these families have built Buddhist halls at home.
And hire some nuns who have advanced Dharma cultivation to sit in the Buddha hall, preach the Dharma to those elders, and guard the family house by the way, so as to seek the protection of the Bodhisattva, you say? Could the deceased be in this capacity? ”
