Chapter 19: The Secret of the College (13)
The old man insisted that the deceased was Mrs. Lin.
Xia Xian Ling frowned, staring at the corpse without saying a word.
Now two bodies have appeared in the county office.
Zhang Kexin was stabbed to death in the back with a knife, that man's strength should be very strong, the knife was inserted through the bone gap in the back, almost piercing him in half, piercing the heart, bleeding to death.
Another mutilated corpse was carried in, ironically just a few hours earlier, when it was still alive, it was thrown as Zhang Kexin's murderer. Mrs. Lin was also killed by a knife, the wound was in the neck, and the knife almost cut it, and a lot of blood was shed, attracting wild dogs in the forest, tearing the neck and a face apart, and I couldn't see the eyebrows.
Now the victim and the suspect are parked on the corpse bed one by one, a man and a woman, regardless of their identity and appearance, just two cold corpses that exude the smell of raw flesh.
Luo Fan's brows furrowed, he couldn't accept this ending: this is not a cousin, a cousin shouldn't be so miserable. But the old man said that this was Mrs. Lin's corpse, the clothes were right, the bun was right, and even a jasper bracelet on her wrist was right.
Luo Fan reached out to pick up the bracelet, he recognized the bracelet, it was brought by Mrs. Lin since she was a child, after a long time, her wrist has grown a lot, and she can't take it off for a while, Luo Fan was irritable, and pulled it hard, and took off the bracelet, and the tip of his fingers still had the cold and stiff feeling of the deceased's wrist, which made him want to vomit.
Facing the lantern, you can see a small Yingzi engraved on the inside of the bracelet, Luo Fan held the bracelet tightly and closed his eyes, tears swallowed from his eyes to the bottom of his heart, Mrs. Lin's name is Lin Zhiying, this is her object.
The package she was carrying was gone, the maid Xiaoyun had not been heard from last night until now, and Mrs. Lin died alone in the woods heading to the countryside.
If you want to kill yourself, how can there be a jasper bracelet left?
"This bracelet is too small, even if it is a villain, it can't be taken off, so I was panicked when I killed people, grabbed the package and left."
Xia Xian Ling stared at the jasper bracelet in Luo Fan's hand and said.
The question is that Mrs. Lin went out in a carriage last night, where is the carriage?
Luo Fan found no trace of the carriage near the body.
"Why did my cousin go out of town last night? The gray smock you wore when you came back? Luo Fan asked the old man.
The old man thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I really didn't pay attention to whether it was the smock, Mrs. often wears that gown, and the old slave really remembers what it was like last night." As for going out of the city, Madame said that she was going back to worship her ancestors, and her hair was messy as if she was frightened. ”
"That's it, someone threatens her!" Xia Xian Ling slapped the table.
The old man was startled and fell to his knees tremblingly.
"Why the threat?"
Luo Fan asked.
"It may be that someone saw her kill Zhang Kexin and threatened her with this incident." Xia County Ling still insisted that Mrs. Lin was a murder suspect.
Luo Fan was not angry, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone outside ask: "Hey, why is the county government so lively this big night?" Everybody, this is ...... Oops, corpses have a meeting, there are dead people! ”
There was a wonderful man standing at the door, dressed in white brocade, with a beautiful face, black hair tied up with a golden crown, and a fan in his hand. ”
Luo Fan asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Ah, send a waiting servant to General Luo."
Luo Fan's eyebrows twisted and he was about to speak, when Xia Xian asked in a loud voice: "Zhang Kexin's personal servant?" ”
The seventh day of the first month walked in with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, this girl was very bold, and glanced at the two corpses out of the corner of her eye, but she only took two steps back to the side.
"Yes, this is an important witness, but the county order did not protect it, if I don't protect him, I am really worried that there will be a third body soon."
Zengshou said and pointed at the little guy with a fan: "Tell me, what you saw last night." ”
The little guy glanced at Xia Xianling, lowered his head and said, "The little one didn't tell the truth in the morning." Xia Xianling was furious: "Why? Why not tell the truth? ”
This morning, the little guy found that Zhang Kexin was killed, and after reporting the case, Xia County Ling asked him who went to find Zhang Kexin last night, he thought about it and said that Mrs. Lin had come, so Xia County Ling sent someone to Lin's house to arrest people, and he didn't find anyone and personally took the official to search for bloody clothes, but now this little guy said that he told a lie in the morning.
"The little one wants to extort a sum of money." The little guy was so frightened by Xia Xian Ling that he fell to his knees.
Zeng Shou said: "Look, it's shocking, if you scare the witness to death, it will be very bad." ”
"Blackmail whom?" Xia Xianling's face was tense, he found that he was a little empty in the face of this Qincha Zhengzhi, this Zhengzhi had not yet arrived, and what he had done in Xianghe had already been spread, this person did not play cards according to common sense, and he was a clan, with a special identity, and he was not easy to mess with.
Lin ...... Mountain long. The little girl's voice trembled.
"You mean that Lin Shanchang and Mrs. Lin both went to Zhang Kexin last night, right?" Luo Fan's thinking was very quick, and he immediately grasped the problem.
"Yes, that's right." The little girl poured beans into the bamboo tube and told the story of last night.
Zhang Kexin ate a lot for dinner that day, and during this time, his appetite was rarely so good, and his mental state was also good.
When the little guy cleaned up the leftovers, he also said: "The dean's spirit is getting better and better, and it is all the credit of the old ginseng." ”
"You don't have to come after you go down to eat." Zhang Kexin said suddenly.
"The little one has to wait for the dean to wash up."
"No need, I need to see a few people at night, you don't have to lock the door, just keep the door."
The little guy packed up his things and walked out of the small courtyard. Zhang Kexin likes to be quiet, he lives in a yard by himself, and the little guy lives in the courtyard outside.
The little guy was curious, lying on the bed and turning over and couldn't sleep. He got up, stood at the window, and saw a man hurrying out of the doorway.
The man was dressed in a black robe, his face shook, and his face could be seen, it was Lin Shanchang.
It is common for Lin Shanchang to come to Zhang Kexin to be tired and crooked, but the little guy didn't take it seriously, he couldn't sleep anyway, so it was better to carry some water and wash his clothes.
The little servant went to the kitchen of the academy to find a bucket and came back, and suddenly saw another person running out of the courtyard, gray smock, hair combed in a simple bun, a white and flawless face under the moonlight seemed to be reflective, not Mrs. Lin.
"So the people who went to find Zhang Kexin last night were actually two people, and Lin Shanchang also had a share," Xia Xianling felt incredible.
"Yes, because the mountain chief and the dean have a special relationship, the little one wants to use this matter to knock out a sum of money." The little guy couldn't help kowtowing and said, "The little one knows it's wrong." ”
"Special?" Luo Fan repeated, "What is a special relationship." ”
Zengshou smiled evilly: "What do you say? What is a special relationship between the two of them? ”
