Chapter Twenty-Three: Strange Events

"Then these three people are the most suspected of killing this man. But it is not excluded that the murderer has the possibility of others, and those who have great strength and long knives are suspicious. Yan Miao gestured slightly to Tang Su.

Tang Su nodded and said, "Then you can take a look at this female corpse." ”

Yan Miao walked to the side of the female corpse, looked at it, touched the slightly bulging lower abdomen of the female corpse, shook her head, and sighed: "One corpse and two lives, it's really pitiful." ”

The old man also looked sad when he heard it, and said: "Zhang Ergou has not had children for many years, but I didn't expect to wait for it to come, but 。。。。。。 ”

"Alas。。。。。。" Yan Miao sighed again, only then did it look like the neck of the female corpse, there were two strangulation marks on the neck, one purple and one white.

"Tang Gongzi, this woman should have been hung after being strangled, there are many scratches around this purple strangulation mark, presumably left by the woman when she was strangled to death, and this white strangulation mark is just a trace of a person hanging after death." Yan Miao glanced at the woman's stomach again and said regretfully.

"This morning, the villagers were talking about it, saying that they couldn't think of committing suicide, but they didn't expect to be killed!" The old man's brows tightened again, "But some people say that the two of them were cheating, and they were caught by Zhang Ergou, and they killed the two in a fit of rage." ”

"But most of the people in the village don't believe it, Zhang Ergou is honest and honest, and he can get along with his wife for many years, how could he do such a thing?" The old man really didn't want to believe this statement.

Tang Su and Yan Miao were also thoughtful, this kind of thing can be seen at a glance, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

So Yan Miao planned to take off the woman's coat by herself, Yan Miao looked at everyone, "Ignore the indecency, although this woman is dead, I also hope that everyone will be decent." ”

Everyone turned their faces away, and Yan Miao took off the woman's clothes, only to find that the woman had many whip marks on her body, but they were after death. After Yan Miao put on the woman's clothes again, she told everyone about it, and everyone was shocked.

The old man was particularly shocked, "There are few people in our village who ride horses, and there are very few people who have braids or whips at home, and Cuihua is still very popular in the village, how can anyone treat her like this?" ”

After the old man told Tang Su Yan Miao that there were whips in the village and the coefficients of the people who could make them, the two went to the inn in the village first and took their leave for the time being.

It is said to be an inn, but in fact it is just a dilapidated restaurant, only the old man occasionally comes to clean it, and he can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

The two talked at night.

"I think the suspicion of this Zhang Ergou is too obvious, you see that it is Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law who died, and his younger brother will whip him." Yan Miaodao.

"This king also feels strange." Tang Su nodded.

"Isn't it Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law who had an affair with Boss Zhang, and was bumped into by Zhang Ergou and his younger brother, so he killed the two in a fit of rage?" Yan Miao thought about the plots she had watched and said this.

"It's possible, but it's a bit too much of a coincidence. And the murderer doesn't seem to be so simple. Tang Su felt that there might be other clues that had not been found out, and he couldn't easily draw conclusions.

Yan Miao held her cheeks, her eyes rolled drippingly, and she suddenly thought about it.

"We're like this, the night is dark and the wind is high, the time is just right, just try it." Yan Miao whispered to Tang Su.

The candle flame reflected Yan Miao's proud little face, and the corners of Tang Su's mouth also showed a subtle smile.

There was no sleep this night.

It's just that Zhang Ergou's house screamed like killing a pig at night.

The next day, Zhang Ergou and his younger brother were tied up in the village chief's yard.

Things are roughly as Yan Miao guessed, but the details are not exactly the same.

But at this time, Tang Su's expression when he looked at Yan Miao changed slightly, as if he felt that what he said last night was really a slap in the face, and he turned his face away for a while, not looking at Yan Miao's place.

Yan Miao had a little pride in her heart, thinking: This is how it is played in TV series, and I am a person with a script.

In fact, the ins and outs of these two murders are as follows:

Boss Zhang in the village is a good drinker, although he seems to be honest on weekdays, but this drinking will only make a mistake.

Late one night, Boss Zhang drank wine and wandered around the village, just in time for Cuihua to go to the thatched house, so he had a lustful heart and insulted Cuihua. Cuihua wanted to tell her husband, but she was afraid that her husband would be heartbroken, so she endured it herself, but Boss Zhang had to take it as a threat, and Cuihua was often humiliated like this in the future.

Finally one day, Zhang Ergou found out that Boss Zhang was forcing his wife, became angry, pulled up the knife that killed pigs at home, and stabbed Boss Zhang to death like killing pigs. Later, together with his wife, he dragged Boss Zhang's body back to the room, changed Boss Zhang's clothes, and disguised himself as if he had hanged himself.

But Zhang Ergou's younger brother found that his sister-in-law was forced and seemed to be pregnant with a child again, and for a while he felt that his brother was wronged, so he strangled his sister-in-law and pretended to commit suicide.

There is a secret to this, Zhang Ergou had some illnesses because he was young, and he was categorically unable to have children, so Zhang Ergou's younger brother was so excited when he saw that his sister-in-law was pregnant and killed his sister-in-law.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they knew the truth. Only Tang Su and Yan Miao felt that there was something unspeakably wrong.

It's just that killing people pays for their lives, even though Boss Zhang is guilty, but killing people is illegal and undisciplined, so Tang Su planned to take Zhang Ergou and his younger brother and hand them over to the Imperial City Division for disposal.

Before leaving, Yan Miao proposed to go and see Boss Zhang and Zhang Ergou's house, so the village chief asked someone to take Tang Su and Yan Miao together.

Boss Zhang's house is just an old house, but it is also neat and tidy, but it doesn't look like a drunkard's home. As soon as she entered the door, Yan Miao saw the wine jug at home at a glance, but the wine in the jug was gone, and the smell made people feel fluttering.

Yan Miao asked for some of Boss Zhang's daily drinks from the village, and after comparing them, she found clues.

The wine that Boss Zhang drinks every day is from the winery in the village, but the wine at home is not only the wine of the winery, but also something with some ingredients.

Yan Miao looked at the wine jug and tossed it, then broke the wine jug, found a wild dog and let the wild dog lick the wine jug, the wild dog kept licking the inner wall of the wine jug fragments, as if addicted, and after a while, the wild dog actually came into heat.

"Lord Wang, in this wine, there are flattering drugs and some addictive things." Yan Miao whispered in Tang Su's ear, but thought in her heart, could this be the earliest opium?

Tang Su thought for a while, and the two of them checked this place again, and went out without finding anything.

As soon as he went out, Tang Su stopped.

Yan Miao looked back at Tang Su with an inquiring gaze.

Tang Su beckoned to Yan Miao, pointed to a withered meadow on the side of the house, and said, "There is something wrong with this place. ”
