Chapter 23: Di Gong visits the scene

"When we came, Zhang Li was hanging on this white silk, or I took her off!" Zhang Saburo pointed at Bai Aya and said!

"Well, I can't imagine that Saburo's courage is still very big? Hahaha! Di Renjie smiled!

"Hey! What's this, I'm a man full of yang, and I'm still afraid of ghosts? Zhang Saburo said disapprerovingly!

"Hmmm! He's a good guy! Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and praised Zhang Sanlang!

Zhang Sanlang was a little embarrassed to be praised by Di Renjie like this!

Di Renjie looked around, and then said to Zhang Sanlang: "Sanlang, the furnishings in this house are still the same as they were at that time?" Even the white silk on the beams of the house has not moved? ”

"Hmmm! Everything was the same as at that time, after I took Zhang Li off, the grandfather asked me to check the strangulation marks on Zhang Li's neck at that time, and confirmed that it was no different from the white silk, so I didn't touch anything in the room again! Zhang Saburo said!

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say that this Zhang Li still has a suicide note? Was it placed here at the time? Di Renjie walked to the table, looked at the few pieces of paper scattered on the table and asked!

"Suicide note? Not there, we found the suicide note on Zhang Li's body! Zhang Saburo said!

"Oh? On Zhang Lee's body? Di Renjie asked with some surprise!

"Yes, it was found in Zhang Li's inner arms, when he did an autopsy, if it weren't for this Zhang Li's suicide note, we really don't know what happened to these three lives!" Zhang Saburo said!

"How do you conclude that the suicide note was written by Zhang Li? What if someone else wrote it and stuffed it into Zhang Li's clothes? Di Renjie asked!

"Sir's question was also asked to my grandfather at that time, but my grandfather quickly found conclusive evidence, the only woman in our village who can read and hyphenate is this Zhang Li's, so it makes sense that she can write a suicide note, and the grandfather also found the words that Zhang Li had written before, compared to the same person's pen style, in addition, my grandfather also found ink stains left by writing in her hands!" Zhang Sanlang said that his eyes were full of worship for the county master!

Di Renjie looked up at the beam of the house hanging with white silk again, and said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, go to the courtyard and move the ladder over!" ”

Li Yuanfang answered, went to the courtyard of Zhang Fu's house, brought a ladder and put it on the beam!

"Sir, be careful!" Li Yuanfang climbed the ladder with Di Renjie in his arms!

Di Renjie climbed up the beam along the ladder, and after observing for a while, Di Renjie slowly came down from the ladder, thinking about something!

"Oh, I see!" Di Renjie thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, let's go and see that passerby's room again, shall we?" ”

"The body of the passerby is in the West Wing, which was originally Zhang Fu's room, and later after Zhang Fu's parents passed away, Zhang Fu moved to this main house to live, Mr. please!" Zhang Sanlang led the way in front of the lantern head, and Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang followed!

The three of them came to the west wing of Zhang Fu's house, the ground of the west wing also had a human-shaped mark circled by lime, the tables and chairs in the room overturned, even the bedding on the bed was scattered everywhere, and the teapot and bowl were shattered, which looked very messy!

"Sir, this is where the body of the passer-by was! At that time, the passer-by was facing the ground, disheveled, and there were many scars left by the blow on Zhou's body, oh, by the way, the same is true of that Zhang Fu, so my grandfather came to the conclusion that the two beat each other! Zhang Saburo said!

"Hmmm! Based on Saburo's description and the evidence at the scene, the conclusion made by the prefectural magistrate is reasonable! It's just that some details are still up for debate. Di Renjie twisted his hair and said!

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhang Sanlang asked with some confusion!

"Let's look at the place where this passerby lives, the house is messy, it does seem like there was a fierce fight, and according to Saburo said, the passerby is covered with scars, and it also consolidates the evidence that the two sides beat each other, the truth seems to be really like the conclusion made by your grandfather, but there are three points I don't think are very reasonable, first, why didn't Zhang Fu take down the body after he found out that his wife was hanged? The second is Zhang Li's suicide note, if Zhang Fu read the suicide note written by his wife, so as to understand the origin of the matter, and angrily sought revenge from the passerby, then why is the suicide note still in Zhang Li's arms? Could it be that after Zhang Fu read his wife's suicide note, he would calmly fold the suicide note and put it back in his wife's arms? Third, this Zhang Fu accidentally killed the passer-by, and committed suicide in fear of crime, why was he in the yard? According to common sense, even if Zhang Fu wants to commit suicide, shouldn't he also die with his wife? Di Renjie analyzed!

"Well, listening to what Mr. said, it seems that there are indeed a lot of omissions!" The look of doubt on Zhang Sanlang's face became heavier and heavier!

"At present, there is only this for us at the scene, and we need the three corpses to tell us!" Di Renjie stroked his beard and said to himself!

"Oops! Broken! Zhang Sanlang suddenly shouted!

"San Lang, what's wrong?" Di Renjie asked nervously!

"Because my grandfather has already decided the case, the identity of the passerby is unknown, and Zhang Fu and his wife have no heirs, and they are also ownerless corpses, their corpses in the room will be dealt with tonight, I'm afraid we won't see them!" Zhang Sanlang said with some regret!

"When does your county usually dispose of corpses?" Di Renjie asked!

"Between the Dawn and the Moon! Because there is no owner's corpse, the county government has no extra silver to buy a coffin for them, so it is generally incinerated and buried in the righteous mound! Zhang Saburo replied!

"It's just past now, it may be too late, we have to hurry to the county office!" Di Renjie said urgently!

"Good! I'll lead the way! Zhang Saburo said immediately!

"Good! Let's go! Di Renjie urged!

Li Yuanfang drove the carriage and helped Di Renjie to get into the carriage, Zhang Sanlang jumped into the carriage, Li Yuanfang whipped the horse all the way, and the carriage galloped on the official road, and it was bumpy for a while!

"Sir, can you hold on to such a bump? Why don't we slow down? Zhang Sanlang saw that the carriage was really bumpy, and asked with concern!

"It's okay! Let's hurry! If the body in the murder is incinerated, then more evidence may be destroyed! Di Renjie sat in the carriage and said!

"Good! Then please hold on a little longer, sir! Drive! After Li Yuanfang finished speaking, he shouted loudly and urged the horse to gallop!

When the carriage of the three people was still a few feet away from the back door of the county government, they saw two officials carrying a corpse into the carriage.

Zhang Saburo shouted: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”

The two servants carrying the corpse heard the shouting, followed the sound, saw a carriage coming at a gallop, and hurriedly stopped the carriage containing the corpse!

"Phew! Sigh! ”

Li Yuanfang stopped the carriage in front of the back door of the county office, and Zhang Sanlang immediately jumped out of the car!

"Oh, third brother, is that you? Who do I think on this big night? A servant said!

"Is this the corpse of Zhang Fu's murder in this car?" Zhang Saburo asked!

"Yes! Are you about to take it to Yoshizuka for incineration? The official said!

"Oh my mother, I'm glad I caught up, quick, carry it back! Carry it back! Zhang Sanlang breathed a long sigh of relief and urged!

"Hey, I said third brother, where are you singing? This murder is already over, why do you still keep the body? How? What kind of order does the master have? The official asked!

"Hey, you don't care, hurry up!" Zhang Sanlang urged!

"Good, good! Who made you the leader? Listen to you! The official said resentfully!
