Liu Hua and Sun Shidong followed Tong Zhen to the scene of the murder, because Widow Li lived by herself and had no relatives at home, so the villagers spontaneously pooled some money and bought a coffin for her. Her body was buried in a coffin.

Liu Hua saw that there were two catchers guarding the scene, the bloodstains in the courtyard were protected and isolated, and the place facing the courtyard gate was the main hall, at this moment, there was a coffin parked in the house of the main hall, but no one was guarding the dead people.

Widow Li's yard was located at the southern end of the village, near the woods at the edge of the village, and there were no other houses around except for a family at the back, and the one behind her lived an old woman.

The old woman's name is Tian Zhang, she is in her fifties this year, and she also lives alone, because she has lived alone for many years, so Tian Zhang's is a little autistic, except for going out to shop and live necessities, she hardly goes out on weekdays.

And since ancient times, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, so the people in the village don't come to play here, if it weren't for the children who found the body of Widow Li when they were playing, I'm afraid that the people in the village still don't know that Widow Li is dead.

Looking around Widow Li's house, Liu Hua found that this was an ordinary house, three main houses, two partial houses, the courtyard wall was somewhat collapsed, the house was relatively dilapidated, the yard was relatively clean, some moon flowers were planted in the corner, and on the west side of the yard, a row of fences was erected with tree branches, in which there were some chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits, and a black wolf dog was tied at the door.

At this time, Tong Zhen ordered someone to find the village chief Zhang Laoshi, and after greeting Zhang Laoshi, Liu Hua's face was straight: "Village Chief Zhang, did Widow Li have a grudge with anyone in the village during this time?" Or who have you been in conflict with recently? ”

After hearing this, Zhang honestly shook his head: "Widow Li is very kind-tempered, she has a good relationship with the villagers on weekdays, she smiles at everyone she sees, she never quarrels with others, and she has never had trouble with the villagers. ”

"When was the last time Widow Li appeared in front of people? Was she in any unusual mood at the time? Liu Hua frowned and asked.

"The last time you appeared in front of people? The last time? After recalling for a while, Zhang honestly replied: "The last time I saw Widow Li was three days ago, and I saw her waiting for someone at the entrance of the village that morning. But I didn't pay attention at the time, just glanced at it casually and went home. ”

At this time, Tong Zhen said: "Liu Zhukuai, I have investigated the scene before, and found that the deceased's room was turned into a mess, and the deceased's jewelry and family belongings were all gone.

I asked the tenant in the back, Tian Zhang, she has been staying at home for the past few days and has not gone out, Tian Zhang said that in the past few days, she has not heard any abnormal sounds in Widow Li's house, you say? Could this be a case of murder for money? ”

"Definitely not, in general murder cases for money, most of the murderers are some rogue criminals, and a few are locals, but the targets they choose are those who are wealthy.

If you look at Widow Li's house, the house is at least ten years old, the courtyard walls have collapsed, and she is a single woman who has no financial resources other than farming.

There are people in the village who are richer than her, if the gangsters really want to make money, they will not take her as a robbery target, unless, the other party is not trying to kill for money, but trying to kill people, but if there are really villains who come here to do wrong, as long as the deceased shouts, the tenant Tian Zhang will definitely be able to hear it.

But since Tian Zhang did not hear any unusual sounds in Widow Li's house, and Widow Li died in her own home, there are only two circumstances that can explain this suspicion, first, the murderer sneaked into Widow Li's house in the dead of night.

Second, the deceased knew the murderer, and she did not expect that the murderer would be unfavorable to her, so she let the murderer into the courtyard, and then was killed by the murderer without defense. It's just that such an ordinary woman, why would she cause others to kill? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hua turned his gaze to Zhang Laoshi, and then continued to ask: "Village Chief Zhang, does the deceased Widow Li still have relatives in the village?" ”

"No, her husband has no siblings, her parents have long since died, and after Widow Li's husband died, she lived alone in the village." After saying this, Zhang Laoshi sighed a little:

"Widow Li's husband has been dead for five or six years, and all these years, Widow Li has always adhered to women's morals, is loyal, and is a moral model for the village women...... After finding out the murderer, we will choose a feng shui treasure place, bury her well, and then set up a chaste archway for her. ”

Seeing that Zhang was honestly rambling and talking, Liu Hua had to interrupt him and continued to ask, "That's the case, are there any relatives on Widow Li's mother's side?" ”

"Yes, her parents' parents are still alive and well, and she has an older brother, but I don't know what Lu Dao is? When I asked the villagers to tell her about Widow Li's death, there was no one to keep a vigil, how strange was it? After answering, Zhang Laoshi shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Sure enough, it's a little strange. Puzzled to himself, Liu Hua came to the main house, looked at the coffin, he wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, seeing this, Zhang Laoshi hurriedly stopped Liu Hua, saying that this was disrespectful to the deceased, unlucky, and would cheat the corpse, and then said that he would not agree with Liu Hua to open the coffin for autopsy.

Seeing Zhang Laoshi's reaction so big, Liu Hua was a little helpless, and said in his heart: "People in feudal society are so superstitious, isn't it just to examine a corpse?" As for being so nervous? People are dead, where can they go to cheat the corpses? ”

Seeing this situation, Liu Hua asked Tong Zhen to take Zhang Laoshi away, and then he asked Sun Shidong to help open the coffin lid, Sun Shidong looked at the sky that was about to turn black, and then looked at the coffin in front of him, and then recalled the corpse he saw last time in Yizhuang, Sun Shidong didn't say a word, and ran directly to the door to tease the wolf dog.

After seeing Sun Shidong's performance, Liu Hua knew that the goods were scared again, and scolded in his heart: "Coward, no future." After that, I had to open the coffin by myself.

Fortunately, the quality of this coffin was relatively poor, and the coffin nails were not nailed tightly, so after Liu Hua found an iron rod, he used the principle of lever to open the coffin lid by dividing five by two.

As soon as Liu Hua opened the lid of the coffin, he heard a dog barking at the gate of the courtyard, he looked out of the door, it turned out that Sun Shidong was idle and had nothing to do, teasing the wolf dog at the door, he wanted to touch the wolf dog's head with his hand, but the wolf dog didn't buy his account at all, opened his mouth and bit and barked, and the frightened Sun Shidong showed a Wudang Zongyun ladder and jumped directly to the courtyard wall.

After seeing Sun Shidong's behavior, Liu Hua shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "This Sun Dashao, tease this dog before you get acquainted with it, it's strange if it doesn't bite you." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Hua planned to examine the body of the deceased, but just as he wanted to bow his head to perform the autopsy, Liu Hua suddenly stopped.
