Chapter 290. Suspected
While taking the file handed over by Mei Yingxue, Chu Yunfei didn't know why a chill flashed in his heart. Although it was only a moment, his feeling would not be wrong, how could he also feel frightened? Sure enough, I was still affected by the rumors outside: I don't know when it started, there was a saying among the people that they were not allowed to wear red clothes for burial, otherwise the dead would become ghosts. Although he had always dismissed such claims as nonsense, he knew that it had become the norm. It is precisely because of this that the killer of the woman in red can cause so much panic in the capital. Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly and shook his head, sometimes you can't underestimate the power of rumors, it is precisely because there is no basis that people feel terrible from the bottom of their bones.
Mei Yingxue briefly explained the ins and outs of the case: it was actually a simple love murder case: a woman who was diligent in housework was suddenly written a letter of divorce by her husband one day. Because of the support of his in-laws, his husband didn't dare to make too many mistakes. Until one day, the husband took advantage of the fact that his parents were away and returned home with his concubine...... As for what happened in the middle, it can only be seen through the husband's description. All in all, the woman who had always been submissive was enraged and went with a knife to kill the woman who had seduced her husband. At a critical juncture, her husband protected her sweetheart. In the midst of the dispute, the woman's knife wounded herself. Panicking, the two fled the scene. It wasn't until the in-laws came back that they saw their daughter-in-law lying in a pool of blood and reported the case. In the end, the case was only hastily settled, after all, it was a family matter, and according to the testimony, it was a misfortune that happened in the dispute, and the knife was in the woman's hand, and everything indicated that it was an accident.
"What do you think? Is there anything in common between this case and the case that is happening in the capital today? On the surface, it seems as if there is no connection. Chu Yunfei closed the file. He knew Mei Yingxue too well, if it had nothing to do with this case, it was unlikely that he would send these things to him.
Mei Yingxue nodded hesitantly, he pointed to the map and said, "Originally, I thought that this case might not be related. But you see...... This is where the crime took place, and this is where the bloodshed took place six years ago. The places where the crimes were committed were not far from the bloody crimes that occurred six years ago. Not only that, but the most important thing is not the previous case, but what happened a few months ago. The husband of the deceased, the man who had insisted on divorce his wife six years earlier, suddenly disappeared, and the woman he later married...... That is, his original concubine disappeared at the same time. Could it be related? ”
"That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?" Chu Yunfei shook his head: "I don't think there will be anything related to this. The woman's death, even if there was anything going on in it, is unlikely to link the two. And besides......"
"Interesting place to stay right here. Here's a small detail. Mei Yingxue interrupted Chu Yunfei's words and turned directly to the last page of the dossier, which recorded the conversation between the official and the deceased's husband at that time. It was written that why the deceased wore red clothes, and the husband's answer was very strange, he said that the deceased had always been very fond of red clothes, and for some reason, he suddenly liked to wear red clothes. Do you see anything from this? ”
"That official really cares about the little things in the family." Chu Yunfei frowned, he looked at the last signature of the file, it was a servant named Gao Yuan. It's no wonder that after all, the officials often deal with prisoners, and they believe more in things in the dark. However, perhaps this information is not completely unhelpful. He paused for a moment, and suddenly realized Mei Yingxue's purpose for asking, he hesitated for a moment, "What do you mean...... No way? ”
"That's right." Years of tacit understanding made it easy for Mei Yingxue to guess what Chu Yunfei was thinking, and he nodded solemnly and said, "As you think, in order to win back her husband's heart, of course she will do everything she can." Some women ...... It's so pitiful, and I am controlled by the foolish remarks of those scholars, thinking that as long as I please my husband, I can keep my husband's heart. She tried her best to cater to her husband's preferences, so she imitated the woman as well...... That is, to rob the woman of her husband's clothes. According to the above records, when she died, she was wearing a set of red satin. Is...... It's a shame. ”
The case is getting some interest. Chu Yunfei's eyes couldn't help but light up, hadn't he handled the same case before? He looked at Mei Yingxue, and without waiting for him to speak, Mei Yingxue nodded, very sure of the answer he gave.
"Why don't we take this opportunity to go out for a walk." Chu Yunfei stood up and walked out, he stretched, looked at He Ma and said, "The matter here is left to you for the time being." I think...... Some useful clues may have been found, but they are not entirely certain. But you, still have to pay extra attention to see if there are any clues missing? ”
Chu Yunfei faintly felt that the case seemed to have some eyebrows, but he was not so sure. Mei Yingxue, like his suspicions, believes that if this case has anything to do with the case six years ago, it should be the relatives of the deceased who witnessed the tragedy back then, and they were stimulated again and took revenge madly. Is this possible? Chu Yunfei couldn't be completely sure, he had a feeling that the case would never be that simple.
"Coincidentally, the son of the deceased six years ago, who also happened to be a teenager, is now an adult. According to Yingchun's information, he was a butcher. If this is not too coincidental, then it only shows that he is actually the murderer, right? Mei Yingxue was very satisfied with her conclusion, as if the case had already been resolved.
But when she saw the possible murderer in the legend, Mei Yingxue was a little puzzled: Zhou Da, he seemed to be a simple and honest young man, and like everyone else, he was a little confused after knowing Chu Yunfei's intention. However, when he mentioned the case six years ago, his eyes were still full of tears, and he sobbed: "Alas, it has been so long. Why do you still mention it? Could it be that the dog man and woman were arrested? ”
"Huh?" Chu Yunfei looked at Zhou Da with some confusion, he didn't quite understand who he was referring to?
Zhou Da gritted his teeth and said: "That old man surnamed Zhou, and that slut." Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, my mother's spirit in heaven will not let them go......"
