Volume 3: The Ghost Bride Chapter 142: The Truth Revealed
It's past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Autumn water in the sun.
The stronger the late autumn.
The corpses in the vegetable garden were guarded and did not move.
At present, there is progress in the case, and it cannot be easily moved.
The village chief asked Amu, "What should we do now?" ”
Amu didn't speak, he walked into the vegetable garden, bent down and picked up a small piece of dry soil from under the vegetable leaves, shook it in front of the village chief, and said mysteriously: "Can you tell what the soil on these shoes has to do with the soil in the vegetable garden?" ”
The village chief looked down at the dried dirt on his shoes, and then at the small piece of soil that Amu was holding in his hand, comparing it repeatedly.
These two types of soil look no different from the others.
But if you look closely in your life, the color of the soil will vary from place to place.
It's just that this subtle difference is difficult to distinguish without deliberately observing and distinguishing it.
The dirt on the shoes in the village chief's hand was the same color as the small piece of dirt in Amu's hand.
The village chief's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "These two kinds of soil are the same. ”
Amu smiled: "Not bad! ”
The village chief said: "But how can this be used as evidence of serious murder?" ”
Amu patiently explained: "This kind of soil, apart from this vegetable garden, is there any other place?" ”
The village chief frowned and thought for a while, and said: "This soil is very special, and it is scarce, although the soil in many other places in the village is very similar to the soil here, but there are still very subtle differences, so this kind of soil is probably only found in this vegetable garden." ”
Amu said: "Yes, and because of this, I dare to be sure that the soil on my shoes is from this vegetable garden, so I dare to say that this is evidence of serious murder." ”
The village chief was still very puzzled and asked, "I still can't figure it out, what does this have to do with the real murderer?" ”
Amu smiled: "When we were in the house just now, we asked Chen Hu a few words, you may not have paid much attention to it at the time, but the little monk remembered it clearly. ”
The village chief was curious: "What did he say?" ”
Amu said: "He said that he hadn't been to this vegetable field for a long time. ”
The village chief still didn't quite understand: "What's wrong with this?" ”
Amu said: "Since he said that he hasn't been to this vegetable field for a long time, how can there be soil in this vegetable field on his shoes?" ”
The village chief had some understanding, but he still didn't fully understand the reasoning, and said: "Although the truth is so, you can't use this as evidence to incriminate him?" ”
Amu said: "Yes! ”
The village chief said: "I don't understand! ”
Amu said: "He said that he went to the mountains to hunt after dinner with his brother last night, right?" ”
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Amu said: "He just said that these shoes were changed by him when he was going to go up the mountain to hunt last night, right?" ”
The village chief said: "Yes! ”
Amu said: "So, don't you think there is a contradiction in his words? ”
The village chief was even more confused, and smiled awkwardly: "I still don't quite understand what you mean." ”
Amu patiently explained: "He said that he hadn't been to this vegetable field for a long time, but the shoes he wore yesterday had the soil of this vegetable field on them, and these two things are contradictory. ”
The village chief seemed to understand the reasoning, and said, "You mean, one of these two things did he lie. ”
Amu said: "Yes, either he usually comes to this vegetable field, or he said that he lied to us about going hunting in the mountains last night." ”
The village chief said: "But the villagers personally went up the mountain to find him back." ”
Amu smiled: "If you kill someone, will you still stay at the scene of the crime stupidly?" ”
The village chief said, "No." ”
Amu said: "So, he went up the mountain to hunt fake, just to escape the proof of his alibi, pretended to go up the mountain to hunt." ”
The village chief suddenly realized: "You mean, after having dinner with the deceased last night, he did not go out directly to the mountain to hunt, but killed the deceased, moved the body to the vegetable garden, and came back to clean up the crime scene, and then hurriedly changed his shoes and went up the mountain overnight, in order to create proof that he was not at the scene of the crime?" ”
Amu smiled happily: "You have finally enlightened." So the dirt on these shoes was the one he had on when he moved the body to the vegetable garden last night, and that proved that he was the real murderer. ”
The village chief said excitedly: "Master Amu, you are simply a living Buddha, you are really like a god." With just one or two sentences, I can think of things that are difficult for these ghosts and gods to see, and I really admire you. ”
Amu said indifferently: "This is also because he himself is not rigorous enough, leaking some tone, I am just good at observing and listening, and there is nothing powerful, compared with the living Buddha, the village chief is really going to torture the little monk." ”
The village chief said, "Hahahaha, Master Amu is really too modest. Now that the evidence is conclusive, let's hurry back and arrest the people first, and as for how to deal with it, we have to discuss it with all the villagers. ”
Amu said Buddha and was about to walk out of the vegetable garden, when the village chief suddenly asked, "Do you say that Chen Hu is also the murderer of Da Niu and Lan Lan?" ”
Amu said: "Judging from the current progress of the case, it is very likely to be the same thing, but whether this is the case, we still have to ask him, if he admits it personally, the little monk has nothing to say." ”
The village chief nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”
When they returned to Chen Hu's house, the village chief asked the villagers guarding the gate, "Where are the people?" ”
"It's in the room."
Amu said: "Has he never come out of the room all this time?" ”
The villager said: "Yes, it has not come out. ”
Amu suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly rushed in.
The door was bolted from the inside, but Amu didn't push it open.
The village chief said: "Kick it away." ”
A sturdy villager came up and kicked the door open.
The lighting inside was not good, and now that the sun is setting, the night has gradually covered the earth, and the light in the room seems even darker.
Amu and the village chief walked in, but they didn't see anyone, and they were shocked, and they secretly said that it was not good!
This room is full of walls, not even a window, how did you escape?
The village chief asked the villagers, "Are you sure that Chen Hu never came out after entering the room?" ”
The villager said, "Sure, we've been staring at the door." ”
The village chief looked at Amu and said, "Master Amu, what do you think?" ”
Amu You looked around and said, "There must be other secret passages in this room. ”
The village chief said: "He ran away, no need to ask, his murder charge has been confirmed." ”
Amu nodded, but did not speak.
A villager walked up to the bed with a mosquito net and suddenly sighed, "There's a floor of space here." ”
Everyone hurriedly walked over to see, and sure enough, there was a small space, although the light was very dark, but they could vaguely see some sundries around them.
Amu looked at a square window on one wall that was just big enough for a person to pass through and said, "He escaped from here." ”
When the village chief saw it, he cried out with a "Ahhhhhh ”
