", who is so lacking in virtue that he throws the dead into this well."

"Looks like a woman."

"It's a woman, look at the white hands and feet, maybe this was still a beauty when she was alive."

"It's out, it's out. Whoa, isn't this a brocade girl who makes clothes for people? It's so dignified, how could she sink in the well. ”

"It's really a Jin Niang! It's a pity that such a delicate person, this dead is indeed not as good-looking as when he was alive. ”

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, everyone is dead, how pitiful, you rough men are still talking about these things that don't matter, you are not afraid of three watches in the middle of the night, and people are looking for you."

"The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic."

"That is, as long as this Jin Niang dares to come to me, I will dare to hug her on my soft couch and have a good time."

"You're a mouthful, you have the ability, you hold it now."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, what's the good thing, you all move forward one by one. You, and you, say something. Based on what you said, I conclude that you have nothing to do with Jinniang's death. "Catch them and point them one by one, and the people who are pointed out will step back one by one.

"My lord investigates carefully, I have nothing to do with the death of this Jin Niang."

"It's just that, I'm just moving my mouth. Don't look at this Jin Niang, don't look at this Jin Niang, but her temperament is very spicy, don't say that she is cheap, just get closer, and she can scratch her face. ”

"Whose well is this?" Catch up and ask.

"It's everyone's, this is a century-old well, and most of our ten miles of drinking water rely on this well. I don't know which one lacks virtue, he killed someone and threw it into this well, which is deliberately not letting the people of our ten miles of shop live. Your Excellency, your Excellency, you must catch that one with a thousand cuts. ”

"Who found the body in the well?"

"If you go back to your lordship, yes...... It's me. A woman stood up with a white face, "I found it." ”

"How did you find out?"

"I got up early in the morning to fetch water, and when I threw the bucket into the well, I felt like I had touched something. I thought something was strange, so I looked into the well, and vaguely, I could see an outline. At first, I didn't expect that the person in the well would be a dead man, and I thought that some child was naughty and threw something unclean into the well. When the water came up, I saw a handkerchief in it. The handkerchief is very well embroidered, and if you take it out and sell it, you can exchange it for some silver. I saw that it was still early, so I went home and called my man over, but after a few scoops, he found that there was a man below. ”

The well in front of them is indeed an old well, and the wellhead is cut out of bluestone on all sides, and the wellhead is very narrow, about the width of an adult woman's shoulder.

"Who's your man?"

"He, he's my man." The white-faced woman pointed to the lean man in his thirties who was standing beside her, who looked honest and kept his head down and didn't speak.

"Tell me, how did you find out?"

"I didn't find it, it's my lady."

"Then tell me what you've done since you came."

"I ......," the man clenched his hands, "I found a hook, tied it to the rope, and threw the rope into it." The hook hit the thing when it fell into the well, and I tried several times before I hung it up, and then I pulled it up hard, and when I was halfway there, I saw that it was a person. The face is downward, but clothes and hair are visible. Oh, and you can see the neck, the white neck half-covered by hair. ”

The man wiped his forehead, even though there was nothing on it.

"I remember sticking my head out to look into the well, and when I saw that it was a person, I was so frightened that I stumbled under my feet and almost fell into it. You know what happened next. ”

"When was the last time you used well water?"

"I can't remember exactly, I probably fetched water a few days ago, and I met Jinniang when I fetched water."

"I fetched water the day before yesterday, and now there are quite a few in the tank. When I was fetching water, I also saw Jin Niang, she leaned against the side of the shop, and I said a few words to her, although she ignored me. ”

"I was yesterday, and yesterday I fetched water at noon."

"Have you seen Jinniang?"

"No, but I heard Jin Niang speak."

"Talk?"

"Yes!" The man touched his head: "This well is very close to Jinniang's shop, and when I passed by Jinniang's shop when I went back from fetching water, I took a look inside." This door is hidden, and Jin Niang's figure can be faintly seen. At that time, I stayed for a while, originally wanting to look at it twice, but I heard Jin Niang arguing with a man. ”

"What's the noise?"

"I didn't hear it clearly, I was patronizing to see Jin Niang at the time, and I didn't care too much about what they were arguing about. However, at that time, Jin Niang was still alive, and I would never be mistaken. ”

"Do you have anything else to say, for example, what special people have you seen these days, especially the ones you feel are born."

"There are no raw noodles, but there are two familiar ones."

"Familiar, those two?"

"One is Yuan Chenghao, the owner of Yuan Ji Rice Grain Shop in the north of the city, this Yuan boss likes Jin Niang, and usually runs here when he has nothing to do. Jin Niang's attitude towards him is also very strange, neither enthusiastic nor cold, we all guess that this is because Yuan Chenghao is rich. There is another one, it is a little maid of the Yan family, we don't know what her name is, we only know that she has round eyes, she always likes to wear grass-green clothes, and when she laughs, her eyes will turn drippingly. As for her, although she doesn't run to this shop every day like Yuan Chenghao, she can see her every ten days and eight days. ”

"The Yan family...... Is it the Imperial Doctor Yan family? ”

"In addition to that Yan family, there can also be that Yan family." The man said, putting his toes on his toes: "By the way, I remembered, I saw that little girl just last afternoon." She was standing at the door of Jinniang's shop, and she didn't know if she had just come out of it, or if she knocked on the door to get in. This Jin Niang has been in Shilipu for some years, to be honest, I have never seen her close the door of the shop during the day.

"You, go to Yan's house and ask if there is a girl who likes to wear grass-green clothes and round eyes. You, come with me to the shop. What about the work, have you done it? ”

"It's here, it's here, it's done!" An old man squeezed through the crowd: "I'm sorry, I drank yesterday and delayed a little effort." Where are the corpses? ”

Caught quickly pointed to the Jin Niang who had just been salvaged: "There." Check carefully, I want to know the cause of Jin Niang's death. ”

"It's a girl. No, looking at the appearance of the bun, it should be a woman, a young and beautiful woman. He burped a not-so-serious wine: "This is fished out of the well water?" ”

"Otherwise, it could still be fished out of the river?"

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what my little old man meant." He smiled and said: "The corpse in this well water, because of the water, there is no way to know when this person was thrown into the well, and my little old man has to explain this to you first." Besides, the corpse is quite fresh, and when you look at your fingers, it's soft. ”

"I'm asking about the cause of death, not whether my fingers are soft or not."

"Look at you, you're young and a fast catcher, what are you doing with such a quick temper. The softening of the finger indicates that the person has been dead for some time. This garment is a little wrinkled, and I don't know if it was made when I threw it into the well, or if it was made before I threw it into the well. ”

"You're a, who do you ask?"

"Can't my little old man talk to himself?" He carefully examined Jin Niang's body: "There are no knife wounds, and there are no traces of being bound or bound by ropes. His nails were not broken, and he didn't look like he had struggled in any way, so wasn't this man suicidal? ”

"I'll say it again, you are the one who is doing it, whether she committed suicide or not, I need you to check it, I need you to tell me." The catch is in a hurry, so anxious that my eyes are about to pop out.

"I know, what are you anxious about?" He yawned: "I drank too much wine last night, and I was very sleepy, you can see that my two eyes are swollen." This person, when he is old, he has to serve the old, and he can't drink and stay up late like you young people, hurting his body, hurting his body. ”

"You still can't examine this corpse?" Quickly drew his saber.

"Examination, I am a worker, the autopsy is my favorite, and it is still such a fresh and beautiful corpse. The cause of death, do you want the cause of death or not, wait a while, wait a little while. He narrowed his eyes and began to examine it carefully: "There are large injuries on the shoulders and outer sides of the upper arms of the deceased, the color is grayish-yellow, but these injuries were not left before death, but were left here by the murderer after his death. In addition, I did not find any obvious fatal injuries on the deceased's body, but there were some marks on the mouth and nose. Look at these marks, do they look like they have been covered? Nine times out of ten, the deceased was covered to death, and the murder weapon was the murderer's hand. Coupled with these postmortem injuries, it can be confirmed that she was dragged from the shop to the mouth of the well after being killed, and then thrown headfirst into the well. ”

"Drag?"

"It's dragging, and it's the kind of dragging that pulls the feet, because the deceased's back is dragged to the ground, so these marks are left. The murderer should not be the kind of person who is tall and strong, because dragging is not as easy as resisting, and it is easy to leave evidence of guilt. The murderer is most likely a person with a thin body and weak strength, or it may be a woman. ”

"What is that Yuan Chenghao's shape?" Ask the onlookers around you.

"Eight feet tall, with a wide waist and a fat body, but from the outside, it looks like a practicing family."

"In other words, the murderer is not this Yuan Chenghao." Catch Kuai squinted: "Let's go, let's go to Yan's house." ”
