Chapter Fifty-Eight: Investigating the Case Together
"For the time being, I can only be sure that it is not a person who committed the crime."
"Aren't you talking nonsense, I can see it too." Li Wuhang pointed to the messy footprints on the ground, and the shoe size was obviously different.
Su Ruochu stood in the middle of the mess, trying to find the same feeling as in the woman, control, struggle, death...... There must be something else going on in between!
"What do you want?"
"This is not the first scene."
Li Wuhang looked up at her when he heard this, and stood up with his waist pounded, "What do you say?" ”
"The time of death is between last night and the time of the sea, now is the time of spring and summer communication, the night is more exposed, if she struggles to death here, how can she be dry soil, and the Li Mansion will not rush to send people away at night."
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if something is delayed until the night, a portal like the Li Mansion is the most careful, and will definitely send someone to escort her away.
"What do men do in groups of three or five at night?"
"Drunkards, visiting green houses, beggars, beggars who go to green houses when drunk." Li Wu Channel.
Su Ruochu had already looked at the neighborhood and walked down the slope without hesitation, "Will this kind of person come to this wilderness at night?" ”
Li Wuhang shook his head resolutely, and said, "Maybe they caught people and brought them here to commit crimes?" ”
"It's half an hour to ride a horse from the west gate of the capital, and it's also some distance from the nearest village and Zhuangzi, since they have caught people...... Boss, with your understanding of men, can you endure that kind of thing? ”
Li Wuhang was stunned for a while, and when he reacted, Su Ruchu had already gotten on his horse and returned to the city, "Good boy, you have a long ability, dare to take Lao Tzu for fun, you are waiting to go back!" ”
But she was right, this place was indeed not the first scene, they returned to the yamen, and the arrester on duty quickly came up to explain the details of the king's inquiry.
The people in the Li Mansion said that they had let the woman go home just after Shen Shi yesterday, because the woman said that she was going to the city to buy some needlework and thread, so the government did not send someone to escort her, so she was let go.
It stands to reason that the case has come to this point, and the Li Mansion has gotten rid of suspicion, but just as Su Ruochu was about to go to check the details with King Ming, the informant suddenly cried and came to the court.
"It's Master Li!" As soon as the man saw Lu Yerin, he knelt on his knees, grabbed his leg desperately and cried: "It was the master of the Li Mansion who killed my wife!" ”
"How can you be sure?" Su Ruochu asked.
"My lady has been sending embroidery to the Li Mansion since a year ago, and once she came back and said that the eldest man of the Li Mansion touched her hand and said a lot of frivolous words."
Lu Yerin took a step back slightly, distanced himself from the man, and asked, "These few words can't condemn anyone, you are suing the court officials, you will talk about it after you think clearly." ”
The man wiped away his tears and said categorically, "I've seen it with my own eyes!" ”
"What have you seen?" Su Ruochu asked solemnly, his eyes keeping on the expression on his face.
"A month ago, my lady went to their house to send embroidery as usual, I was waiting at the back door, and soon there was a shouting from inside, and when I heard the sound and ran over, I saw a person in official uniform jumping out of the window, if I was one step late, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
The man said, his head slammed on the ground, "The grass people know that they are light and cheap, and there is only this bit of backbone that a man should have in his body, I want to seek justice for my mother, please call the shots!" ”
Lu Yerin and Su Ruochu glanced at each other, then looked at the kneeling person in front of them, and without saying a word, they turned around and entered the inner hall.
The officials took the people down and settled them.
"What do you think of his words?" Lu Yerin asked.
"I can't read it without evidence, just by his side." Su Ruochu poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and continued: "But this woman's husband is very interesting, when the lady died, he was not in a hurry to notify his relatives to be placed and buried, but he wanted to bite Master Li to death." ”
Lu Yerin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you think he lied?" ”
"I only look at the evidence, not the feelings." Su Ruochu successively reported the characteristics of the deceased and the inspection of the scene, and said truthfully: "If I want to determine the first scene and the number of perpetrators, I have to take a look at the body. ”
"I'll go with you."
The two came to Yizhuang after saying that, and now the weather is hot, and the corpse can't be put down, so they can only be pulled to Yizhuang temporarily.
Su Ruochu was a little unaccustomed to the place where the door was full of coffins, it used to be a morgue, but it was saved from thawing.
According to the work, the fatal injury is a heavy blow to the head, and the shape of the wound should be a blunt object, and a blunt weapon that can kill it with one blow will cost more than three or five catties.
"Can you avoid it, Lord Wang?" Su Ruochu had already untied the first layer of the deceased's clothes, and only then did he remember that there was a man standing behind him.
Lu Yerin turned his back and consciously took two steps out.
There were no other injuries on the deceased's body except for the scars left by the struggle, and he had already checked it, Su Ruochu just wanted to support him for a while, and only when he saw him walking away did he dare to put his hand on the deceased's wrist.
The previous feelings were played out again on her body, and she thought that she would feel the humiliation of the deceased in the future, but she was unexpected, no, but a burst of fatigue after running.
What followed was fear, a more clear fear than before, without a struggle, it ushered in a fatal blow, Su Ruchu opened his eyes violently!
Lu Yerin never felt that he was a decent gentleman, but he really couldn't do such a thing as peeking at a dead person's body, and he turned around when he heard a rapid gasp behind him.
"What's the matter with you?" Lu Yerin didn't wait for her answer, only to see someone staggering as if he was about to fall, and hurriedly ran over to catch her, "Why are your hands so cold?" ”
Su Ruochu calmed down for a while before he came back to his senses, grabbed his hand and looked straight at him, "Are you familiar with the capital?" ”
"No one is more familiar than me, what do you want to ask?"
"Who live in the west of the city?"
"Dignitaries." Lu Yerin popularized other places for her by the way, "Most of the people living in the east of the city are rich merchants, the south of the city is a musician, and there are many outsiders in the north of the city, and there are three religions and nine streams." ”
"Northside." Su Ruochu was almost certain that the group of people who had met the deceased were to the north, "I'll go find the leader." ”
Lu Yerin heard it in a fog, stood on the spot and reacted for a while, and commented succinctly: "God is chattering." ”
With that, he followed.
"How can you be sure the murderer is up to the north?"
Su Ruochu glanced at him and said, "The person who despised her, the person who hurt her, and the person who killed her are not the same. ”
After speaking, he was still confused, and couldn't help but smile: "The investigation of the case belongs to us, and the prince still worries about how to invite the people from the Li Mansion once!" ”
