Chapter 279: Disaster Descends from the Sky
Such a statement was so terrifying that it frightened several women into turning pale, but the young and strong men were very interested, and they discussed going to the haunted house to find out.
I think it's because this small county town is too quiet, and when such a tragedy suddenly happens, everyone's gossip thoughts have been mobilized.
Long Xi was bored and followed Sister-in-law An to buy things, and listened to people's suspicions about this case in the streets and alleys, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Sure enough, no matter ancient or modern, gossip and gossip are the focus of people's after-dinner concerns.
Sister-in-law An babbled to her about the shortcomings of the family, but she didn't listen to half a word, and her mind was always simulating the case, thinking about how the murderer could kill the deceased without alarming anyone.
But no matter how she simulated it, it didn't feel like things were the way they were, as if something very important had been forgotten by her.
It's a terrible feeling!
Long Xi patted her head hard in annoyance, and Sister-in-law An was startled by her actions, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's okay!" Long Xi realized how out of line he was doing on the street, and immediately changed to a well-behaved smile, "There were mosquitoes just now, I'll shoot mosquitoes." ”
Sister-in-law An looked around, and indeed saw a few mosquitoes flying around (one of them was a Pixiu shape), so she believed it: "I'll get you some wormwood later, it's going to be summer, and there will be more and more mosquitoes." ”
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. Long Xi nodded repeatedly.
"Be polite to me, you kid. Sister-in-law An touched Long Xi's puss lovingly, shook her head and smiled.
The two of them walked around for a while and bought some needlework snacks before returning to the inn, not wanting the pomp at the door of the inn to make Long Xi's mouth open in surprise.
Dozens of people lined up to check in at the inn, and the line was getting longer, but most of them were young men. When these men lined up, they didn't forget to loudly announce their great achievements, saying how they fought the mountain thieves and water thieves, in short, they were all Lu Bu's reincarnation.
Some of the ladies stood far away, as if they were afraid of getting something unclean. They were talking to each other in groups, pointing and pointing from time to time, obviously discussing the inn.
Long Xi felt very embarrassed, these people obviously came to see the "haunted house" in the inn, it seems that the old blind man's words are quite inflammatory. But that room is blocked by the government, and they can't live in it no matter how much money they give!
It was also at this time that Long Xi noticed the name of the inn, in the past, she entered and exited from the back door, but now there are officers and soldiers guarding the back door, and it is inconvenient for her to go in and out before she walked through the front door.
Feng Sanniang, who was full of joy, saw Long Xi and the others at a glance, and immediately shouted happily: "What are you still doing, go and bring the guests into the room! Don't you want to finish eating?"
Long Xi nodded like pounding garlic, and immediately took the guests who had completed the check-in procedures upstairs to find a room, and put the case aside for the time being, after all, eating is a major event in life!
That night, the inn room was full, the shopkeeper and his wife were happy to smile, Long Xi was also tired half to death, not only to take the guests to find a room but also to help the kitchen to serve.
But not long after she lay down, a chaotic noise forced her to get up from the bed and go out to see what was going on.
I saw several people dressed in soap-colored official clothes rushing into the store violently, led by Xie Zhifeng.
They couldn't help but handcuff the tolerance who was taking stock of the accounts and left, Feng Sanniang was anxious, hugged the tolerance hand and didn't let go, and said loudly: "What are you doing here, why are you arresting me as the master!"
Tolerance also looked inexplicable, shaking his arms, anxious to break free of the shackles: "Why lock me, what did I do!"
"Someone reported that you had a big dispute with the deceased, and said that they wanted to kill the deceased, so they suspected that you were the murderer, and took you to the yamen for questioning!" Xie Shufeng opened his big eyes and said viciously.
"I'm wronged, I'm just talking in anger, where do I have the courage to really kill someone!" When he heard this, his face turned white with fright, and he cried out for being wronged.
At this time, many guests had already heard the sound and rushed to see this scene, not knowing what to do.
"Is it innocent, let's talk about it when I go back to the yamen!" Xie Zhufeng glanced at the people left and right, and everyone immediately pulled and tolerated and left, not listening to any explanation at all.
"Oh my God, what kind of sin has this been created, the head of the family and I have been innocent all my life, how did this kind of thing happen, which one of the killers falsely accused us!" Feng Sanniang saw that she was powerless to return to the sky, and sat on the floor with her ass crying, her hands kept beating her knees.
Sister-in-law An and other female relatives squatted down to comfort her, and the workers took the guests who came out back to the room to settle down, and only the sound of Feng Sanniang crying was left around.
Long Xi stared at the direction of the officials and was puzzled, the shopkeeper has always had a gentle temper, how could he kill someone because of a quarrel, and the object was still a guest who only had one side.
At the moment, she needs to meet the informant immediately, ask about the specific process of the matter, and meet Zhu Xingyi, see the results of his detailed examination, and then judge what the truth of this case is.
But with her current status, I am afraid that it is impossible to enter the yamen at this time, so she can only wait until tomorrow day to go with Feng Sanniang and them.
The scene of the crime!
Long Xi's eyes lit up, and he planned to go to that room again to see if there would be any clues left. Zhukuai, who didn't want to stay there, didn't let her in at all, saying that he was afraid that she would destroy the scene and take away the evidence that was not conducive to tolerance.
Long Xi was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet and scolded, but he also knew that they were right. Even in modern times, she can't just go in and out of the murder scene.
In a hurry, she thought of Zhu Xingyi, that person seemed to be very talkative, if she asked about the autopsy, she should be able to get an answer, right?
After the decision, it was action, and Long Xi ran away immediately after asking the catchers about Zhu Xingyi's address.
After standing in front of this small courtyard with a single family, Long Xi panted and held on to the lamppost, intending to knock on the door smoothly, but fortunately it was only two streets apart, otherwise she would have broken her leg.
Long Xi only slapped it three times, and the door was opened.
Zhu Xingyi's clothes were a little messy, his long dark hair was draped behind him, the tips of his hair were still dripping, there was a faint fragrance of soaphorn on his body, and his skin was slightly red, thinking that he had just finished bathing and had not gone to bed. His bright eyes looked at the young man at the door with red cheeks and unsteady breath in surprise: "Little Brother Song is visiting late at night, what's the matter?"
Long Xi found that he actually thought of the five words of the beautiful man out of the bath, and couldn't help but despise his strange point, and then opened his mouth to explain his intention: "I just want to ask you what the results of the autopsy are, why did someone arrest our shopkeeper and say that he was a murderer?"
"The body has been examined in detail, but judging from the results, it cannot be determined that Rong Rong is the murderer. He was arrested quickly because some people said that they saw him arguing fiercely with the deceased, and said that they would kill the deceased or something, so the yamen took him back for questioning, and the girl did not have to worry. Zhu Xingyi smiled and patiently explained.
"Can I see the results of the autopsy?"
"Yes!" Zhu Xingyi walked in with Long Xi.
The yard is small and tidy, and the three-foot-square flower beds are planted with all kinds of flowers, and the enchanting blooming flowers show that the owner has taken good care of them.
After entering the house, Long Xi was even more surprised by the layout of the room.
The room is divided into two, and on one side are several large bookshelves, densely packed with books, each column with a note to indicate the classification. Long Xi roughly scanned and found that almost all of them were books related to autopsy, not only limited to autopsy techniques and basic judgments, but also professional books on the causes of death such as poisons, murder weapons, and causes, and the classification was comparable to modern forensic science.
On the other side is the bedroom, where plain is the main color of the room, and it is clean and tidy, not at all like a single man's residence.
Long Xi thought of the single men he knew, who were dressed in suits and leather shoes when they went out, and looked like dogs, but the residence was comparable to a pig's nest, with beer bottles and potato chip bags thrown everywhere.
As soon as she thought of this, she took a good look at Zhu Xingyi a few more times.
Zhu Xingyi looks very much like her idol Zhu Yilong, with a beautiful face, clear eyebrows, a gentle and elegant personality, a little shy when he laughs, plus he has super level of professional knowledge and good professional ethics, plus clean and tidy personal space, he is simply a perfect man!
If such a person wants to let go of modern life, I don't know how many women will chase after him. It's a pity, he's just a game NPC!
Of course, Zhu Xingyi didn't know what she thought, so he walked to the desk, picked up a book spread out, and looked at Long Xi, who was still standing in place: "Didn't Brother Xiao Song want to see the results of the autopsy, this is it." ”
"Oh good. Long Xi stepped forward in response, took the book from his hand, and his fingertips inadvertently brushed his slightly cool palm, making Zhu Xingyi's heart suddenly throb.
Long Xi didn't know what Zhu Xingyi was thinking, took the book, and immediately threw what had just happened out of the clouds after seeing the familiar terms.
The examination report was very detailed, covering almost all parts of the deceased's body, even some parts that the ancients avoided mostly. Every slight abrasion is recorded, and the location of the force that is inferred from the degree of the corpse spot is also clearly written.
At first glance, it looks almost identical to a modern autopsy report, except that there is no data from those sophisticated instruments.
Long Xi admires his professional ethics, but he also makes it difficult because of this, without those data, then it is difficult to clarify the identity of the murderer.
"I remember you said that there was a residue of skin dander in the fingernails of the deceased, can you find out who these residues belong to?" asked Long Xi.
