When Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong walked to a butcher shop, she saw a tall man in his fifties cutting meat for a guest, Su Xianrong remembered Zhang Meixian's words, and she said to Song Ruilong in surprise: "Brother Song, do you remember that Aunt Zhang said that there seems to be a smell of lard on that rag?" ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "At that time, my mother seemed to say no. Why do you think there is something wrong with this lard? ”

Su Xianrong looked at the man who was cutting the meat of the guest and said, "You carefully observe the butcher's hand?" ”

When Song Ruilong looked at it, he saw that after the butcher had cut the meat for the guests, he stuffed the money into a cloth bag on his chest, and without washing his hands at all, he wiped his hands full of lard on the clothes around his waist.

Song Ruilong said in surprise: "You mean, the murderer is likely to be a butcher?" ”

Su Xianrong nodded and said: "Exactly, look at that butcher, his figure is tall and powerful enough, he must have strength to kill pigs all day long, and killing pigs is about killing with one knife, so he is bold enough." If he had a pig-killing knife in his hand, I believe he could have cut off a person's head with a single sword. Also, he was fully capable of carrying five or even ten pieces of cloth and walking out of the Ding Kee Silk Village. ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said: "Rong Rong, your judgment is indeed reasonable and reasonable, but what we want is evidence, there is no direct evidence to prove that the butcher is the murderer." ”

Su Xianrong sighed and said, "I'm laughing at you, we can't determine the identity of the deceased yet, so the motive for this killing is still unclear." If you say he's for a woman, what if that woman is an ugly bastard? You say it's for money, but why didn't the murderer take the money from the deceased's shop? Also, I seem to remember that the deceased was wearing a rose-red jade wrench on his hand, which should have been worth a few taels of silver, but the murderer turned a blind eye, which shows that the motive for robbery and murder can be completely ruled out. ”

Song Ruilong looked at the starry sky and said: "Let's go, Rongrong, I think we are tired enough this day, you haven't eaten much at noon, let's hurry home and have dinner, and when we finish eating, we will try the case again." ”

Su Xianrong followed behind Song Ruilong and said, "But Brother Song, then Zhao Yanping's case can't be ignored?" ”

Song Ruilong said: "Of course, there will be an intersection between these two cases, and when the time comes, the two cases can be combined into one case." Let's go, let's go back and see how it goes, and then we'll decide how to do it. ”

After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong returned to the county office, as soon as they walked to the courtyard in front of the morgue, they saw Qin Hongxian crying like a tearful man following behind Zhang Meixian and Liu Tianxiong, and said in his mouth: "Master Liu, Xiaosheng begs you to find out the murderer of my lady as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Meixian comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Qin Xiucai, your lady's death is indeed very miserable, that head was cut off by the murderer, I have been doing an autopsy for so long, and it is the first time I have encountered a human head being cut off." You said that you both husband and wife offended someone, how could that person have such a big hatred with you? ”

Qin Hongxian said bitterly: "Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is usually quite kind, he reads the sage books every day, but he doesn't have any holidays with anyone, it's just that Xiaosheng's wife is not very gentle, she has nothing in her eyes except money, she has always thought that her business is more important than Xiaosheng to get the champion, and she also advised Xiaosheng not to study, and not to take any championships, just follow her to sell cloth." Isn't this a big one for the small? ”

Qin Hongxian kept his head down and told the distress in his heart, and he didn't know that Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong were looking at him opposite, Su Xianrong suddenly asked Qin Hongxian a question, and said, "Qin Xiucai, that woman's head has been cut off, how do you know that she is your wife?" ”

Qin Hongxian raised his head, wiped away his tears, looked at Su Xianrong, and sobbed twice: "Oh, Xiao Sheng knows that that woman is Xiao Sheng's wife by virtue of two points." ”

Qin Hongxian paused, looking very painful, and after stabilizing his emotions a little, he continued: "First of all, Xiao Sheng concluded from the rose-colored jade wrench on the corpse that the wrench was Xiao Sheng's wife, and it was also worn by Xiao Sheng personally for her on the day Xiao Sheng and Ding Jiayi got married, which is true. Another point, Xiao Sheng found a 'heart' shaped birthmark on the chest of the corpse, that birthmark is Xiao Sheng's wife's favorite, she always said that the birthmark on her body will bring her good luck, she can do her silk business in every street in Ping'an County, there is a branch of Ding Ji Silk Village. Therefore, Xiaosheng remembers it very clearly. ”

Zhang Meixian looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Long'er, why did you come back?" Is there a catch? ”

Song Ruilong shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't gotten any reliable clues yet." ”

Song Ruilong turned his head to look at Qin Hongxian and said, "Qin Xiucai, if you want to avenge your wife, please honestly explain everything you know, understand?" ”

Qin Hongxian said timidly: "Xiao Sheng understands, Xiao Sheng doesn't dare to hide anything. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "When was the last time you saw your wife last night?" ”

Qin Hongxian quickly replied, "It's almost time to hold the lamp." ”

Song Ruilong then asked, "Why do you remember so clearly?" ”

Qin Hongxian's face did not change, and said: "Oh, that's the case, because when Xiao Sheng quarreled with Xiao Sheng's wife last night, there were still customers in the store who were choosing cloth, and they didn't light the lights, but it was time to light them when they saw the sky." ”

Song Ruilong felt that Qin Hongxian's answer was reasonable, so he stopped asking, and changed the topic again, saying: "Then after you finally overthrew your wife Ding Jiayi to the bed, before you left the silk village, did your wife have any unusual behavior, for example, what did she say at the end?" ”

Qin Hongxian lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Oh, my lord, Xiaosheng remembered." I remember that when Xiaosheng and Xiaosheng's wife quarreled, the guests of the Silk Village were scared away. After Xiao Sheng overthrew Xiao Sheng's wife to the bed, she said to Xiao Sheng, you kill me, I won't live anymore. ”

Song Ruilong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since your wife said that she wanted you to kill her, how did you do it?" ”

Qin Hongxian said helplessly: "What can Xiaosheng do? Xiaosheng has never even killed a chicken since he was a child, let alone killed. Xiao Sheng thought that she was talking angrily, so he didn't have the same knowledge as her, and Xiao Sheng finally took the door of the silk village shut, and then left, and then went to inquire about the location of Xiao Sheng's father, and wanted to stay at his father's house for one night. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Why don't you go back to your own home?" ”
