Chapter 229: The Crazy Peasant Woman
None of the cases handled by Ji Xiao are not tricky. Xia Jinse was also a little interested, so he asked him to talk about it carefully.
In the middle of this month, Jingzhao Mansion reported a batch of cases, because at the end of the year, all cases had to be closed and filed, and review was part of Ji Xiao's work, so he worked overtime day and night to review.
In one case, a family of four from a farming family on the outskirts of the city died mysteriously, and the death was tragic, and the next day they were found by a neighbor and reported the case. Jingzhao Mansion sent people to investigate, and found that the old mother and husband, as well as the infant child, died on the spot, but the wife survived, but because she was too frightened, she had gone crazy. Later, the government concluded that it was a wild wolf that hurt people, but the family was unlucky, and the case was closed by accident.
But when Ji Xiao reviewed the case, he found many doubts.
"First, I don't say if there are wild wolves in the suburbs of Beijing, but wild wolves don't hurt people for no reason, they only look for food because they're hungry. The family is all at home, it is impossible to provoke the wild wolf for no reason, if the wild wolf is hungry, then after biting the family to death, it will definitely eat them. ”
Ji Xiao said seriously to Xia Jinse: "But this family was not eaten, but was bitten to death, which is one of the suspicions." ”
Xia Jinse nodded: "There is one and there are two, Cousin Ji, you continue." ”
"Second, when I took people to investigate the case, the neighbors said that they didn't hear any suspicious sounds on the night of the crime, and if it was a wild wolf hurting someone, how could it not be screaming?"
"That's true." Xia Jinse thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems that it shouldn't be a simple wild wolf hurting people." ”
"I wanted to ask something from the surviving peasant woman, but she was delirious and incoherent, and she screamed at the sight of people, and could not ask anything at all. In desperation, I had no choice but to open the coffin for an autopsy......"
Xia Jinse was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that Ji Xiao could be so responsible for a case that had nothing to do with him.
Open coffin autopsy, which is a big taboo for many people. Since there is no complaint from the bitter master, ordinary officials encounter it and close the case directly. But Ji Xiao actually risked the disapproval and went to open the coffin for an autopsy to find out the truth, which made Xia Jinse have to admire.
Ji Xiao continued: "After the coffin was opened for autopsy, a problem was found! The surface of the three corpses was gnawed by wild beasts, and although they had begun to decay, a closer examination still revealed a fatal wound to the throat, and it was a sword wound. So, they were killed! ”
In the next three days, Ji Xiao led people to investigate everywhere, but no one provided clues, and no clues were found. Later, it was discovered that the previous man who had closed the case had also drowned inexplicably, and in the past two days, rumors have spread in the capital that there are wild wolves infested and three people have been killed, and the case has become more and more confusing.
"I really can't help it, according to the regulations, all the cases must be settled by the end of the year, but now the situation is ......"
Seeing Ji Xiao shaking his head and looking embarrassed, Xia Jinse asked him, "Isn't there a surviving peasant woman?" Cousin Ji can find a doctor to treat her, maybe she will be cured, what can she say? ”
The quick-talking criminal officer said, "Miss Xia, we tried, the doctor said."
The peasant woman was so frightened that she was hopeless. ”
Belch...... Xia Jinse has nothing to say, has this case become an unsolved case?
A family of four, almost all of them died, this is a big case, how can it be over? Xia Jinse could imagine Ji Xiao's mood, if he wasn't eager, he wouldn't have come to her.
"Cousin Ji has many years of experience in investigating cases, if even you don't find clues for the time being, even if I go to investigate, there will definitely be no results. For now, I think the only way to do this is to start with the peasant woman, and I will go and see her, and maybe ......."
When Ji Xiao heard this, he stood up excitedly: "Great, cousin, then let's go!" ”
Xia Jin was stunned on the spot, his eyes became strange, Ji Xiao also seemed to react, scratched his head with a dry smile, and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I'm not in a hurry......"
So, as soon as her cousin came to the door, he just wanted her to go to see this peasant woman and let her regain her senses, right?
Sighing, Xia Jinse was helpless, and gave him a blank look: "Forget it, for the sake of you being my cousin, if you don't say anything directly next time, I won't be too lazy to care about you." ”
admired Ji Xiao's professionalism, so Xia Jinse was willing to take time out of his busy schedule to help him.
If it weren't for Ji Xiaofen's reckless search for clues to the Soul Chasing Building at the beginning, maybe she would have been assassinated again, and maybe she would have been injured or even dead. And yesterday, the wild wolf injury incident discussed with the imperial doctors in Antang seems to be related to this case, so she will definitely help with this favor.
The peasant family was in the suburbs of Beijing, and they had to go out of the city, and Ji Xiao wanted to bring the crazy peasant woman back, but she didn't cooperate at all, and there was no place to take her in, so she still stayed in the original home, but sent two people to keep an eye on it.
Xia Jinse changed his clothes, took two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao and a bottle of painkillers to Ji Xiao, and asked Chaiyun to take the medicine box before the group set off for the outskirts of Beijing.
Ji Xiao and his two subordinates rode horses, while Xia Jinse and Chaiyun rode in a car, and after leaving the city gate, they went all the way to the west, and arrived at a small village half an hour later.
It is said to be a village, but in fact, it is some farmers in the suburbs of Beijing, who live together sparsely, and live by farming and selling vegetables and raising some chickens and ducks on weekdays. Life is not rich, but it is not poor either. About more than ten years ago, the imperial court once again investigated the taxation and forced labor, and went door-to-door to register the population, and the peasants in the suburbs of the city were divided together, and it became the current Honglin Village.
The carriages and horses were parked at the entrance of the village, not far away, so that no one would steal them.
Ji Xiao told Xia Jinse about the general situation of Honglin Village as he walked, there were seventy-two households in total, what was the name of the village chief, especially the situation of the farmers who had an accident in this household.
It seems that they have seen a lot of Ji Xiao and others, and as soon as they appeared, every household was curious and ran out to watch. There were also people who pointed their fingers, especially when they saw that there were two more young and beautiful women, and they were even more surprised.
Xia Jinse found that although there were only 72 households in this Honglin Village, it seemed to be quite large, and every family lived in a serious wooden house, and there were even roof tiles. Although the construction is average, it is compared to the village where she saw last time to grow beautiful people
That's much better.
And there is some distance between each household, not densely packed and close together. Some of the farmers still have fields between them, and there is soil in front of the houses, but now it is blank in late autumn, and only a few chickens are pecking around.
Finally arrived at the door of a house, the fence wall was opened, and two people sitting in the courtyard chattering were wearing official uniforms, and when they heard the voice, they saw that it was Ji Xiao and others, and immediately stood up: "Master Ji!" ”
The two of them were obviously impatient, not to Ji Xiao, but to stay here for several days, and these days were really boring and annoying. But because the Criminal Department could not investigate the case, the two of them could only do this kind of work without technical content.
Before the two of them could speak, they had already heard voices coming from inside the room.
The sound of broken chatter, loud and small, sometimes giggling, suddenly screaming again, and when I heard it, I went crazy. The two little officials were even more miserable, and complained to Ji Xiao: "Master Ji, you are here, this crazy woman, we really can't take her." ”
"She ran out twice more last night, and we caught her for the night, and if we continue like this, we're going to die."
Ji Xiao's face sank: "It's for you to watch, otherwise if something happens to her, how can this case be investigated?" ”
The two of them were reprimanded, and finally bowed their heads and remained silent, but they were still whispering: "The case has been closed, and I want to turn it out, isn't it okay to find trouble?" What else will happen to the madman, will anyone still murder her? Fall into the river and drown ...... early"
Suddenly, a gaze came, and the two of them were stunned, and then they shut up.
Xia Jinse looked at these two people, wearing the official uniforms of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, while the two people Ji Xiao was carrying were from the Criminal Department, and they were obviously not the same Yamen. But Ji Xiao came to review the case, and Jingzhao Mansion had to cooperate with the investigation.
"Cousin, be careful, that peasant woman is crazy, beware of hurting you." Ji Xiao reminded as he walked into the house first.
Xia Jinse followed him into the low room.
A faint smell of blood lingered in the room, and she could smell it as soon as she entered, and there were brown marks on the walls, and on the ground, even if it had been covered with soot, it still couldn't be hidden. A few shapes were circled in white ash in the room, and that was the last place of the deceased, and a dirty peasant woman curled up in the corner of the room, looking down and muttering something.
"No, I didn't see anything...... Blood, a lot of blood...... Yes! Don't kill me, don't kill me...... Jin'er, mother's gold...... Hee-hee! Ha ha! Big, oh oh oh, Kim gets up early......"
She read and read, and suddenly put her index fingers to each other again, and began to read a nursery rhyme.
Ji Xiao glanced at her a few times, sighed, turned his head to Xia Jinse and said, "Cousin, see it, she has always been like this......"
Suddenly, Xia Jinse's eyes shrank: "Cousin Ji, be careful!" ”
The peasant woman who was sitting on the ground and muttering to herself jumped up directly, and suddenly rushed towards Ji Xiao, grabbed his throat, and looked hideous as if she was going to strangle him.
Ji Xiao clasped her hands, bowed her head and bent over, that
The woman flew up like a sandbag, and was thrown to the ground by him, screaming in pain.
"Uh...... Oh no, it's too hard! Ji Xiao's subconscious reaction was no problem at all to deal with an ordinary peasant woman. But the peasant woman was so hard by him that she almost fainted.
Xia Jinse hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the peasant woman's wrist to check her pulse, and observed her pupils and neck arteries.
If you exclude her deliberate disguise, this is a typical psychotic episode, and you need to take atypical antipsychotic drugs, or choose some sedative injections intramuscularly to quickly control the symptoms.
Afraid of not cooperating with the medicine, Xia Jinse took the medicine box handed over by Chaiyun, took out a syringe, took out a haloperidol injection, and injected it into the peasant woman's body. Gradually, the peasant woman also eased up, and became much quieter.
"Cousin, is she curable?" Ji Xiao asked with hope.
"It's hard to say, I'll have to check it in detail, and I'll find out after a while." Xia Jinse has come into contact with almost no mental patients, after all, she was not a full-time psychiatrist in her previous life. But it's not impossible for the pastry chef to barely stir-fry a dish, if she doesn't understand, at least she still has the computer to check.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound at the door, and the two officials of the criminal department went out first and shouted outside: "Ji Tou'er, it's the village that is here." ”
Ji Xiao walked out, and sure enough, he saw that it was the village of Honglin Village, who was over sixty years old, and was called Lu Cunzheng, or Lu Lao. His real name is Lu Dashan, but no one calls him directly.
"Lu Cunzheng, are you looking for me?"
"Master Ji, little old man, please either close the case quickly, or take this crazy woman away, okay?" As he spoke, Lu Cun was leading seven or eight villagers to kneel down for Ji Xiao tremblingly.
