Chapter 382: The Truth Revealed
Xu Chu's attitude towards corpses has always been indifferent and calm, in her opinion, the most calming thing that will not give birth to fear and worry is the bones of the deceased.
The bones don't lie, they don't deceive people, they reveal all the information plainly and simply.
Her eyes were slightly cold, and she raised her voice: "The skin and flesh at the top bone of the deceased's head are close to the bones, washed but not opened, and there are no maggots to eat. It can be inferred that this place was hit hard, and the flesh was scraped open, and cracks in the bones were visible. The nasal bone, cheekbones and other places were damaged, and there were obvious fractures at the nasal bone and cheekbone, indicating that the force of the wound here was much larger than before. It looks like the damage marks are narrow and long, and there are cracks in the flesh, which should be caused by a crescent-shaped arc, wide and sharp murder weapon. ”
On the side, Xiao Qinglang wrote down her autopsy one by one, and at this time, everyone looked at the hoe that had been cleaned at the grass shed. The hoe is a typical hoe, slightly curved, in order to shovel weeds, collect the scattered sand on the ground to make it easier, the blade is made sharper. On the side of the hoe, there is also an iron handle to connect the hoe with the wooden handle, which is also extremely easy to injure people.
After Xu Chu finished speaking, he carefully pried open the lips and teeth of the deceased, but saw that the lips and tongues inside had already rotted and had been eaten by maggots. It's just that on top of the somewhat shaky teeth, there is a black and purple thing.
She carefully pinched it out with tweezers, and after washing it, she realized that it was actually a complete piece of fingernail.
At this time, she subconsciously looked up at Zhang Cuncai's hands supported on the ground, and saw him shrink back.
"The killer suffered a wound to one finger and a missing fingernail...... According to the situation of her nails, it can be inferred that the murderer ......" Her brows suddenly furrowed, as if she was a little puzzled, but in the end she said truthfully, "The murderer is a woman!" ”
As soon as these words fell, the people present could not help but be in an uproar. Woman? How is this possible, isn't the murderer Zhang Cuncai?
Xu Chu saw that everyone was looking at each other, so he simply started on-site analysis.
"The murderer was a woman, and he wounded the deceased in the head with a hoe with a long wooden handle, trying to rob the money. Unexpectedly, her strength was not enough, and she did not make people faint with a single blow, but let the deceased see her face and come forward to scuffle with her. During the scuffle, the deceased bit off one of her fingers and nails. ”
"At this moment, Zhang Cuncai used a hoe thrown by the woman on the ground to hit the deceased's cheekbones and other places, making him completely lose the ability to resist."
"This is also why, the degree of damage to the parietal bone of the deceased's head and facial bone is obviously different, and the person who started it suddenly has much more strength."
As she spoke, she flipped her head over, "Of course, that's why the murderer had to cut off the deceased's head. His purpose was to cover up the existence of the nail in the mouth of the deceased. ”
It is not surprising that the murderer actually had an accomplice from the scars, and that the situation at that time was also inferred. However, what surprised them even more was Xu Chu's next words.
"If my guess is correct, from the very beginning, Zhang Sun's murderous intent towards the deceased, and this murderous intent is not as simple as robbing money, right?"
Zhang Sun is Zhang Cuncai's daughter-in-law, in fact, Xu Chu is not sure about this speculation. However, after seeing the injury on Liu Jinshan's skull, she suddenly felt that Zhang Sun's blow to the head must have been full of strength, so that the parietal bone of the head was smashed out of the crack.
Compared to Zhang Sun, who was half a head lower than Liu Jinshan and would have unloaded some strength due to the wooden handle of the hoe, if she hadn't had murderous intent and exhausted her strength, she could have slashed the skull of the deceased without the hoe.
After all, it is easier for people to faint and then rob money by directly hitting the back of the deceased's head directly than the parietal bones of the head.
Zhang Sun's has remained silent since Xu Chu scolded her, and he didn't even raise his head. It was Zhang Cuncai who couldn't help but cover his face and cry bitterly.
At this time, Xiao Qinglang was secretly instructed to search the officials inside and outside Zhang's house, and he also came out with some powder. Behind him, there was a pot of freshly stewed, reddened pig's trotters that looked appetizing.
"Lord Wang, my lord, this is cumin powder and red yeast powder from under the kitchen cupboard, both of which are as much as half a catty."
In this way, it almost corroborates Xu Chu's speculation. At least, at this time, it is absolutely inseparable from Zhang Cuncai and his wife.
Before she could let people check Zhang Sun's hand, she saw that Zhang Sun, who was silent and choked, had already raised his hand and laughed miserably.
On the index finger of the right hand, a layer of white cloth was wrapped in a faint blood stain.
"That's right, I killed him." Zhang Sun's voice was hoarse, he sat on the ground limply, and said sadly, "Are you a good person when Gu Shunfeng is?" Those who are ungrateful, abandon their wives and children......"
She cried blood and complained with tears in her eyes: "I originally grew up together since I was a child, the two families are very close to each other, and the relationship between my father and mother is also very good, so I have been a baby since I was a child." And after he went to the capital, he often brought letters back, and promised to welcome me when he had some savings. ”
"Just for his sake, even if I haven't passed the door yet, I will help him take care of his father and mother and take care of the house. Even, his father and mother were seriously ill, and I and my family took care of them. ”
"However, who knew that he had a change of heart, and secretly married and had children in that prosperous place."
At this point, she couldn't stop crying.
"I originally fed the dog as a friendship, and since he had no intention of marrying me, then I would also find a good man to marry. But when he heard about it, he hurried back, and coaxed me with clever words, saying that marrying a wife in the capital was really a last resort, just to be able to gain a foothold......" Zhang Sun looked at Xu Chu with a miserable smile, and said coldly, "Seeing that I was about to turn over thirty years old, and I was ridiculed by the people in the village, my father and mother couldn't hold it back, so they sent him a letter again, knowing that he had given birth to a pair of children, and immediately forbade the two of us to interact with each other." He finally came back three years ago, and in order to let my father and mother relax, he coaxed my body......"
When he found out that he was pregnant, he changed his face again and said that he would take me as a concubine for the sake of the child. My father and mother have been upright all their lives, and where they have been insulted like that, they are naturally not allowed. But...... But ......"
As she spoke, she covered her face and began to cry bitterly, "But he didn't care about the friendship between the two families, and publicized the fact that I was lost to him and became pregnant." ”
Since then, her father's health has become worse and worse, and she finally couldn't stand the criticism of outsiders and died depressed.
The sunlight was still a little hot, but at this time, it couldn't dispel the gloom in everyone's hearts.
"I can only hate, when I saw him that day, I didn't have the courage to intercept him and kill him!" Zhang Sun gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment, "When I left the village, I happened to meet the trader named Liu Jinshan, listening to his meaning, it was Gu Shunfeng who lost a burden and wanted me to keep it on his behalf, waiting for the negative man to come back and pick it up." At that time, after listening to the vendor talk about how the negative person cared for his wife and children at home, and how generous he was, my brain buzzed, and I simply didn't do anything, so I thought about finding something to frame him. ”
Since she was exposed by Xu Chu, she has been lying on her body, sobbing and choking quietly, and her whole person is very depressed. When mentioning her hatred for Gu Shunfeng, her lifeless eyes will have a trace of emotional ups and downs.
"So you want to kill Liu Jinshan and blame Gu Shunfeng?" Hearing this, Xu Chu sighed secretly in his heart. Although it was just Zhang Sun's own words, in her opinion, it was true.
"Yes."
In the whole process, only this voice was very crisp, and there was almost no hesitation or remorse.
Xu Chu sighed and said quietly: "But in the end, you took revenge on him, but you also hurt a Zhang Cuncai who really cherished you, didn't even care about your past, and accepted the flesh and blood of others in your belly." ”
"No...... No...... It's not like that, it's the one I killed. I cut off my head, and it has nothing to do with Brother Cuncai. Zhang Sun, who was still lifeless, resentful and fearless, suddenly raised his voice after hearing Xu Chu suddenly mention Zhang Cuncai. She looked at Xu Chu in a panic, shook her head again and again, and said, "Don't care about him." ”
Zhang Cuncai looked at Zhang Sun's with a haggard face, his eyes showing a little helplessness and some relief.
He said: "Bao'er Niang, don't hide it. At the time, I did do it. Not only did I knock him unconscious, but I also helped you cut off your head and bring it back in a dung basket. It also helped you cover up your tracks, lured everyone nearby to the lake to kill people, and then let you, who was covered in blood, avoid the villagers and run back first. ”
Zhang Cuncai's heart was very sour, he didn't want to see his wife indulge in the hatred of the past, but he couldn't enlighten him. He has always been stupid, he just wants to treat her well, and the two of them can live in peace in the future.
As for Bao'er, whether it is his blood or not, but when he comes to him and calls him Dad, he is also happy from the bottom of his heart.
He was in the village, and he had no relatives in the first place. Therefore, if there is one more person at home, you will only feel happy, how can you be willing to let them be wronged?
It wasn't until he came back that day that he found that his daughter-in-law was almost pressed to the ground by a man, which made him explode instantly. Without hesitation or thought, he picked up the hoe on the ground and smashed it at the man.
Perhaps it was his movement that made the man look up so suddenly that he smashed the man's entire face beyond recognition.
Later, when he helped his daughter-in-law up, he found that a nail had been bitten off her finger, but no matter how much he pried, he couldn't open the man's mouth.
"Brother Cuncai, is he dead?" In a panic, Zhang Sun covered his hands and asked in a choked throat as if he had lost his backbone.
At that time, Liu Jinshan's nose couldn't be seen at all, let alone feel his breathing. So, the nervous duo just thought he was dead and simply cut off his head.
The rest of the day hardly needs to be said. First of all, Zhang Sun's was ruthless, and directly according to his original idea, he slashed at the neck of the deceased with the kitchen knife, and he didn't know if it was because of fear or to vent his anger......
By the time Zhang Cuncai reacted, Liu Jinshan's neck had already been half-broken. At this point, he had no choice.
