When Zhang Youfu found Shen Mingyue, she was not lying down, but leaning on the edge of the offering table, her clothes a little messy.

"Sitting?"

"Yes, it's sitting." Zhang Youfu sighed: "It's also my fault, I had a different mind at that time." You said, if I don't go in, I will go directly to the yamen to report the case, and there will be nothing wrong with me. ”

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Shengzi is young, so he is naturally curious, so he came directly to him and asked.

"I ...... I saw her sitting there half-dressed, and I thought she had just gotten along with someone, and the dark shadow I saw before might be the person she had a private meeting with in the middle of the night. I thought I had grabbed her and could force her to follow me...... But I never expected her to be a dead person, and the kind that had just died. My brain buzzed immediately, and it went blank. There was blood on her body, and I didn't see it until I touched her, and when I saw it, I panicked and wiped it on myself. When I look at it again, I feel that I can't explain it clearly.

At this time, I heard the voice of Zhang Donglin, that fool. I know that this fool has been wandering around the village in the middle of the night since he was wronged for selling medicine. I didn't know what I thought at the time, so I went out and wanted to lure that Zhang Donglin into the ancestral hall, but this fool had great strength and didn't want to enter the door of the ancestral hall at all. I had no choice but to drag the Buddha's hand he was carrying, and then hid it on Shen Mingyue's body, and put her on the ground again. I thought that even if someone found Shen Mingyue, they would think of Zhang Donglin. This Zhang Donglin is a fool, even if he really kills someone, there is no way for the people in the village to take him. ”

"In that case, why did you take Zhang Donglin to the government to report to the official?"

"It's a thief with a weak heart." Zhang Youfu sighed, "When I returned home from the ancestral hall, the more I thought about it, the more scared I felt. Later, I thought that instead of waiting for the official to come and ask me, it would be better for me to take the initiative to report the case. ”

"Is that your business?"

"No, no, I swear, I swear with my own life, I swear with the lives of my mother and two children, this affirmation of Mingyue's death really has nothing to do with me. I was just...... I just moved her. I didn't do anything bad, not only did I not do anything bad, but I also helped to tidy up her clothes. I admit that I have crooked thoughts about her, but for a dead person, no matter how good-looking she is, I don't have any thoughts. ”

"And then?"

And then ...... And then there really isn't much. Oh, by the way, Bloody Clothes, I hid Bloody Clothes in Zhang Donglin's house while he was sending that fool home. Poor master, poor master, you have to believe my words, I was really scared and confused, or I can't forget, I also sewed a silver ticket in my clothes. My lady is strictly guarded, and although I am the head of this village, I don't even have extra money for drinking. If I hadn't kept it private, I wouldn't have been able to live this day. ”

"We'll look into the truth."

"Okay, I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate. Don't worry, I know the rules in the yamen, until the case is revealed, and until that bastard is caught, I won't go anywhere. I, Zhang Youfu, promise that I must be a messenger who will be with you. ”

Returning to Zhang's ancestral hall from Zhang Donglin's house, the inquest over there has also been a result.

The deceased, Shen Mingyue, female, aged 21. The daughter-in-law of Zhang Cheng, a villager in Nanwang Village, has been married for five years and has no children. There was only one visible external wound to the deceased's body. The trauma was located in the back of the deceased's head, and according to the investigation of the scene, it was confirmed that the body that caused the deceased's brain trauma was the offering table in the ancestral hall.

The deceased should have been pushed down by an external force and stumbled, causing his head to hit the sharp corner of the work, resulting in damage to the back of his head and bleeding to death. On the body of the deceased Shen Mingyue, some tearing marks were found, but the traces were not obvious. In addition, judging by the expression of the deceased, it seems that he saw something terrible and unbelievable before his death. According to the experience of many years of autopsy, the murderer is very likely to be an acquaintance of the deceased.

Writing this last sentence is equivalent to delineating the scope of the murderer.

This murderer is a villager from Nanwang Village.

There were people dead in the ancestral hall, and it was Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law Shen Mingyue who died, and the news soon spread throughout Nanwang Village, and the entrance of the ancestral hall also attracted a lot of people to watch the excitement. Chang Tai stood at the door of the ancestral hall, his eyes swept over the faces of those who watched the excitement one by one, trying to identify the real murderer who was hiding from inside.

"If you want me to say, this murderer may be the old man. This old man, who has been widowed for many years, has eyes shining when he sees a woman. Plus he likes to drink, this is too drunk, and he can't do anything. ”

"I also think he's the most suspicious. Don't talk about this village chief, the ancestral hall of our Nanwang Village is locked on weekdays, and there are three people in total. Where is the village chief's key in the village chief's daughter-in-law, many of us know this, usually when there is a big event in the village, it is also the village chief's daughter-in-law who takes the village chief's key to open the door, because of this, there are many people who laugh at the village chief behind their backs. This old ancestor, although he lives next to the ancestral hall, usually doesn't care much about the affairs of the village, so it must have nothing to do with this matter. Then who else is left, isn't it the old Zhang Tou who has been unserious and unreliable all his life. This remark stirred up a thousand waves, and before the man finished speaking, a few young people put the drunk old Zhang Touer in front of Chang Tai: "My lord, he is the old Zhang Touer, that is, the murderer, you take him to the yamen for interrogation." ”

"Just because he has the key, you conclude that he is the murderer?" Chang Tai asked.

"Or else? This person with the key in his hand is not a murderer, could it be that those of us who do not have the key in our hands are? The person who helped analyze the case just now shouted at the top of his throat. This sentence has attracted a lot of echoes. Hearing the echo, the man became proud, and seemed to be particularly capable, as if he had become a big official in an instant.

"This big brother, I'm afraid you misunderstood the original meaning of this Chang adult's question." Xing Ruyi hugged the fox and went up the steps in front of the ancestral hall: "The little woman wants to ask all the uncles and uncles present, big brothers and sisters. Is this old Zhang Touer a drunkard on weekdays? ”

"Yes!"

"Then this old Zhang Tou'er has a key on him, do the big guys know about it?"

"Yes."

"Okay, thank you, little girl, one last word? Do any of us don't know where this old man lives? ”

"We all know that. Those who live in this village don't look up and look down. This village is not very big, and there is only a little bit of it before and after, who can not know where the house is. ”

"That's right, this old man has a key on him, everyone knows it. He loves to drink, and when he drinks, he is the same as now, and everyone knows that he is so drunk that he doesn't know who he is. So, if someone takes advantage of Lao Zhang'er to get drunk, takes off the key on his body, comes to this ancestral hall, opens the door lock, and asks Shen Mingyue to come over, wouldn't God know, ghosts know, and people don't know. ”

"This ...... Is this possible? ”

"Is it impossible?" Xing Ruyi asked rhetorically.

"Maybe, it's really possible, didn't a few little rabbits take advantage of Lao Zhang'er's drunkenness to secretly take the key on his body to open the door of this ancestral hall a while ago. These little bunnies thought there could be something fun in this ancestral hall. As a result, after sneaking in, I saw that it was all ancestral tablets, and I was directly scared out. ”

"I know this, my rabbit cub is one of them. I watched them give me the key. From the moment he got the delivery, this old man didn't know anything. ”

"Then did you open the door to this ancestral hall last night?"

"No, no, I'm here to open the door of this ancestral hall in a dignified manner." The man hurriedly waved his hand: "Last night, there was a guest in my house, and I have been staying at home to entertain, and this neighbor can testify to me." If you talk about the murderer, I think Zhang Hu is more suspicious. Who in our village doesn't know that Zhang Hu likes Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law, and he also took the opportunity to pick up a ready-made one every day. ”

"Who is Zhang Hu?" Chang Tai stared at the man who spoke.

"Zhang Hu? Zhang Hu? It's strange, why didn't this Zhang Hu come, this kid, usually likes to watch these lively things the most, especially this dead is still his favorite Shen Mingyue, why didn't he come? ”

"It's true, this kid usually looks lively, and he runs the fastest, but he didn't come today, maybe he killed Mingyue."

"I think so, too." One person guessed, and someone immediately agreed.

"So, now this suspect has changed from the old Zhang Touer to Zhang Hu just now?" Xing Ruyi hugged the fox, looked at the group of villagers who were talking about it in a daze, and said in his heart that he had really seen the power of the gossip of the masses: "Can you boldly and presumptuously ask, what is this Mingyue's attitude towards Zhang Hu?" ”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, my daughter-in-law is a person who understands the rules. Ever since my family had an accident, she has been staying at home every day and rarely goes out. This Zhang Hu is a well-known bastard in our Nanwang Village, and he has nothing to do with our daughter-in-law. If you say you like it, among the little ladies in this village, who doesn't like it, and which one says you hate it? Hearing the people talking about Zhang Hu and his daughter-in-law Shen Mingyue, Shen Mingyue's mother-in-law couldn't stand still, she wiped her tears with one hand and pointed at those people with the other: "You people who chew the root of your tongue are not afraid that my daughter-in-law will die and go to you in the middle of the night to theorize?" ”

"We didn't talk nonsense, this tiger is indeed interesting to your family Mingyue. Of course, we can also testify that Mingyue's daughter-in-law is really decent, and it is indeed as her mother-in-law said, since Zhang Cheng had an accident, she rarely goes out, and even if she goes out, she does her own thing, and never gets close to outsiders. This tiger licked his face and leaned forward a few times, so frightened that Mingyue almost poked him with Zhu Hai. ”
