Chapter Ninety-Five: Confusing
Hearing that Huang Tianxiao was killed, Tong Zhen showed an expression of disbelief on his face, he looked at the surrounding environment, and then said to Liu Hua: "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to Tianxiao to have a look." ”
Liu Hua stood in place, looked at Tong Zhen sadly, and nodded mechanically: "You go, I'll go to you after I finish surveying here." After saying this, Liu Hua turned around with heavy steps.
Zhang Wanggu, who was sitting on the steps, had a trace of surprise on his face after learning the news of Huang Tianxiao's death, and after seeing Tong Zhen and Liu Hua's reactions in his eyes, he sighed deeply and saw that Tong Zhen had already walked towards the outside of the county office.
Zhang Wanggu pondered for a while, and then called his master in a heavy tone, and asked the master to take someone to Huang Tianxiao's house to take a look, and by the way, go to Li Mu's house to see if Li Mu has returned? If Li Mu goes home, arrest him back to the county office.
Maybe it was because he remembered Huang Tianxiao's affairs in his heart, so Liu Hua's autopsy work this time was not as serious as before, the entire autopsy process was not even half an hour, he saw that there were no other wounds on the corpse, so he simply checked the wounds of several victims, and then washed his hands and called it a day.
After the autopsy, Liu Hua walked up to Zhang Wanggu and told him with a sad expression: "Lord County Commander, I have already completed the examination of the corpses, judging from the wounds on their bodies, these people should have been killed by the same murderer."
The cause of death was that the artery in the neck was severed by a sharp weapon, resulting in the loss of vitality and excessive blood loss, and according to the length and depth of the wound, I concluded that the sharp weapon that killed the deceased should be a weapon such as a long knife, and the murderer had a certain attainment in knife skills, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such strength.
In addition, the part where the murderer killed the knife is the same as the part of the first deceased in the county, that is, the headless female corpse, which is the position of the three fingers under the neck, so it can be concluded that the headless female corpse found in Gupo Village and the deceased in the house were killed by the same person.
Now that we know that the murderer of the Dao is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, there is no need for us to continue to investigate, the Heaven and Earth Society, the imperial court has been fighting it for decades, but it has not been defeated until now, and I am not strong enough for this.
Alas...... It's so decent, how did the county magistrate provoke them? Now, please ask the county to issue a sea fishing document, and arrest Li Mu in the county, this case should be Li Mu's doing.
It's just that I didn't expect him to be a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. After catching him, the county magistrate will not only be able to crack the case and help his family avenge him, but he may also be able to destroy a stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
"Destroy the stronghold of the Heaven and Earth Society? The imperial court has gathered the strength of the whole country to destroy it for decades, and it has not been able to destroy people in the end, what can I do to destroy people? Heaven and Earth Society, that's super potential. ”
After sighing with emotion, Zhang Wanggu looked at Liu Hua expectantly: "Vice President Catcher, do you think there will be someone else in the murderer?" The other party just borrowed the name of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he was not a member of the Heaven and Earth Society at all.
In other words, the murderer is not Li Mu, because I really find it difficult to accept that Li Mu is the murderer, just like his cowardice, he doesn't look like a person from the Heaven and Earth Society at all, the deputy chief arrests the head, this case, do you want to investigate it carefully? ”
Seeing the expectant expression on Zhang Wanggu's face, Liu Hua persuaded softly: "Lord County Commander, I know that after you heard that the murderer was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, there was some pressure in your heart, and you felt that there was no hope of revenge, but you must face this reality, the murderer of this series of murders is Li Mu, and Li Mu is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Hua paused, and then continued: "Let me tell you about my basis, first of all, although Li Mu's family was not difficult a year ago, his family background was average, but since his wife was sick, he was able to spend five hundred taels of silver every month to buy medicinal materials to help his wife treat her illness.
Li Mu said to his wife that this money was sponsored by the county magistrate, and it has been sponsored for a year, according to the character of the county magistrate, I think it will definitely not be able to do such a thing, because the sum of the expenses of the canal county government for a year is only about three thousand taels.
And the county magistrate is very concerned about every expense of the county government, and he doesn't spend anything he can save, how can a person with this character take out 6,000 taels of silver to fund Li Mu's wife's medical treatment for free? So I don't need to ask, I know that Li Mu is lying, but since the silver is not sponsored by the county magistrate, where did he get it?
When we investigated the first deceased, we speculated that the deceased was a nun, but when we went to the household registration office to check the household registration information, Huang Zhutou found that a page was missing from the register that recorded the information of foreign nuns, and the missing page should have recorded the identity of the deceased.
The entire household registration room is very tightly sealed, and the only door in and out of the household registration room is locked all day on weekdays, only Li Mu himself has the key, if outsiders enter the household registration room to store files, Li Mu will always accompany him, that is, outsiders have no chance to tear off the information on the register, only Li Mu has this opportunity.
At that time, we asked Li Mu if he knew about the nuns from outside the county, and he used the excuse that he had just served for two years, and he prevaricated that he did not know about this matter, but later we found out that he was lying at that time.
Not only that, but just when we found out that there was a page missing from the register, Li Mu deliberately fabricated the facts to draw our attention to Zhang Jun and make us mistake Zhang Jun for a suspect.
Just when we focused all our attention on Zhang Jun, we found that Zhang Jun was killed, and later after we combed through the clues and found that Li Mu was suspected of committing a major crime, he suddenly hidden, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness to sneak into the county government and assassinate the county commander.
But Li Mu didn't know what to do, the county magistrate because of the arrival of his family, gave his house to the female dependents to live, so this tragedy happened, the reason why I concluded that the murderer was Li Mu, there is one of the most important clues, that is, I smelled a faint smell of herbs at the scene of the murder.
Li Mu's wife was sick in bed, so Li Mu had been boiling herbs for his wife for many years, and over time, he had a faint smell of herbs, although the smell of blood in the room was very pungent, but he could still smell the smell of herbs.
Although I still don't know Li Mu's motive for doing this, I believe that as long as Li Mu is caught, the truth will be revealed. ”
When Liu Huazheng analyzed this, a servant ran into the back hall: "Lord Qiyu County, when Master Wang led the team to Huang Tou'er's house just now, he sent his subordinates and others to Li Mu's house to check on it, and as a result, his subordinates and others found that Li Mu's wife died of illness.
In addition, he found some precious medicinal materials in Li Mu's house, and he judged that Li Mu used these precious medicinal materials to hang his wife's life until now.
However, these herbs have some side effects, even if they are taken down, not only will they have no effect, but they will produce drug poisoning, so Li Mu's wife died of natural causes. ”
Before the officer finished speaking, another catcher came to the back hall: "Deputy Chief Catcher, Chief Catcher found an important item from Huang Tou'er's body, please go to Huang Tou'er's house as soon as possible." ”
