Chapter 289: Suspicion of Killing Her Father
At this time, outside the door of Lao Zheng Tou's house, it was already full of people watching the excitement, and the sound of the discussion, buzzing, like flies, made people listen to it for a while, and they would have a sore ear.
Zhiyan raised his arm to separate the crowd and escorted Gu Baoying to squeeze over.
Jiang Xingzheng was standing in the courtyard anxiously, and when he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Baoying, Zhiyan, Lao Zhengtou was killed!" I've already asked someone to hurry up and report to the official, but there is more than one corpse in this house......"
"Have you ever touched these corpses?" Gu Baoying asked.
"No, no! I still understand this! The scene cannot be destroyed! When the second uncle was at home before, I heard him say that I have been waiting for the people from the government to come! Jiang Xing hurriedly waved his hand.
"Can I go over and have a look? Won't touch anything? Gu Baoying said with a smile.
"This ...... Baoying, I advise you a little lady, don't go, it's unsightly! It's also a little scary! Jiang Xing hesitated and dissuaded.
"How?"
"That old Zheng Tou was stripped naked and piled up with several female corpses, he should have been dead for several days, the corpses are beginning to rot, and the smell is not good! If you do, you'll have nightmares at night! Jiang Xing said.
When Gu Baoying heard this, she groaned slightly.
If she was stripped naked, it was indeed inconvenient for her to come forward, but she wanted to see what was going on at the scene.
"Well, I'll take a look." At this time, Zhiyan said.
Jiang Xing naturally wouldn't stop him, so he nodded and agreed.
When Zhiyan entered the room, he couldn't help frowning.
I saw that the house was messy, and Lao Zhengtou's corpse was really as Jiang Xing said, he was stripped naked, and his mouth was wide open, and the corpse was lying on the bed without looking at it.
His corpse had rotted away, emitting a foul smell, and Rao Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little tumbling in his stomach.
There were also seven female corpses, which were stacked on top of each other.
Zhiyan walked into the house and saw an open entrance to a secret room by the kang.
He went round the house and went out.
"How?" Gu Baoying asked.
"There's a secret room in the house, and the entrance is opened." Zhiyan said with a slight frown.
When Gu Baoying heard this, she immediately understood something.
Before, I couldn't find where the Yang family was hiding, and I couldn't find the secret room, but now the secret room was deliberately opened, and there were several female corpses, which seemed to be done by the Yang family.
It's just that it's inconvenient for her to go in and find out if it's as she guessed.
Zhiyan said again: "I didn't look at it carefully, I'm afraid that the specifics, I have to wait for the people from the government to send a servant to come over to check in detail, but the people from the government came here from the county seat, how can I get the night, you still have to see a doctor for Mrs. Li tonight, and I will stay here at that time." ”
"It's fine." Gu Baoying nodded.
There were more and more people surrounding the courtyard, and Jiang Xing called a few hunters to block the door, not allowing them to enter.
Towards the end of the evening, the government finally arrived.
However, Gu Baoying didn't wait for them to come, she was picked up by the carriage sent by Jin Siye and went to Nanxi Village, but Zhiyan stayed.
This time, not only Master Xing came, but even the Huang Zhutou, Qi Zuo and others from the Yamen came here together, and in addition to them, Zheng Caihua, who had only returned to her mother's house not long ago, was also found by the people of the government and brought her over, but she came back this time with an embarrassing identity, not only the daughter of the deceased, but also a certain suspicion!
After all, it was only after she went back to her parents' house and left that the door of Lao Zhengtou's house would be locked.
Few people in the government should suspect her of killing her father.
Zheng Caihua had tears on her face and looked dazed, as if she still didn't believe what the government said about her father's killing, but when she arrived in person and saw the corpse in the house, she finally understood that Lao Zheng Tou was really killed!
The father who loved her so much was really killed!
At this time, the two officials received Master Xing's eyes, so they stepped forward and pulled Zheng Caihua aside, and she cried bitterly.
"You're going to see these corpses." Master Xing said to Qi Zuo.
"Master is polite, it's a good move!" As he spoke, he took his two apprentices and the tools of the autopsy and went into the house.
"Master Xing, can you let me enter the next view? Perhaps, I may be able to provide some clues below. At this time, Zhiyan stood up and said.
When Master Xing heard this, he was about to consider whether it was appropriate to do so, so he heard Huang Zhutou, who was going to follow him into the house, patted his head, pointed at Zhiyan and said, "Little brother, it turned out to be you!" ”
"What? Do you know? Master Xing was slightly startled.
"That is, the last murder case in this village, it was the help of this little brother and a little doctor in the village that it was able to successfully solve it." Huang Zhutou said, and patted Zhiyan's shoulder with great appreciation.
"If that's the case, then there's work." When Master Xing heard this, he naturally agreed.
"Thank you, master." Zhiyan hurriedly thanked.
Huang Zhutou hooked Zhiyan's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Why are you alone today?" What about the little doctor? ”
"She was called to a neighboring village to see a doctor." Zhiyan explained, and entered the house with Huang Zhutou a little awkwardly.
He had never been hooked on his shoulders like this, and he had not walked in a proper way.
Between the two of them asking and answering, they had already walked a few steps into the house.
At this time, he was taking two apprentices to check on a few corpses, saying something from time to time and asking the apprentices to record it.
Zhiyan walked to the entrance of the secret room and told Huang Zhutou the whole story: "...... When the Yang family was gone, Bao Ying and I both felt that there must be a secret passage in the room, but we couldn't find the entrance, and now it seems that this mechanism is indeed secret, and it is necessary to drill into the inside of the earthen kang first, dig a groove in the partition against the wall, and hide the mechanism in it before it can be opened. ”
"Now that this organ has been opened, it is thought that after the Yang family murdered Lao Zheng Tou, he deliberately exposed these to let people know that Lao Zheng Tou was hiding a few corpses here."
"How do you know that the person must have been killed by the Yang family?" Huang Zhutou couldn't help but be a little curious when he listened to his determined tone.
"Naturally, it's speculation, but it's not far from eight or nine, Huang Zhutou, why don't we go and see it first? Maybe you can find out the true intention of the Yang family to open this secret room! Zhiyan proposed.
"It's fine." Huang Zhutou came here today to investigate the case.
Wherever there is a clue, he will not let go.
Hearing this, the two climbed the rope one after the other and entered the dark basement.
Fortunately, Huang Zhutou brought a fire fold with him.
As soon as he entered, he lit a fire, and the room was illuminated.
There was a smell of urine and feces here, which was very unpleasant, and Huang Zhutou had to raise his sleeves to cover his nose, frowning and thinking, is there anyone still and pee here?
"Huang Zhutou, look." Without waiting for him to glance around, Zhiyan first said, "There are seven tablets on this table, and there are seven female corpses outside, and there are three coffins inside. ”
"That's true!" Huang Zhutou raised his hand with him, and when he saw those tablets and three coffins, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"These tablets have names and surnames written on them, I'm afraid I have to take them out and ask Li Zheng to identify them to see if they are the young women who have disappeared in the village." Zhiyan looked at the names on the tablets and said.
"That's how it should be!" Huang Zhutou nodded, called someone down, and got the tablet up first.
He continued to wander the basement with his feet up, trying to see if there were any other clues.
But as he walked, he suddenly felt that something was wrong under his feet, and he stopped holding the fire fold to take a closer look, and found that he actually stepped on a piece of!
