Chapter 213: The Plank to Stop the Mouse
When we were about to come out, Leng Tong asked Li Yusheng: "You have thicker clothes at home, can you find one for Xiaoxiao?" β
Li Yusheng glanced at me, and hurriedly found a very long thick dress for me in the cabinet, I was still a little embarrassed, but it was indeed a little cold, so I should wear it.
We came out and took a closer look in the warehouse, things have passed for more than ten days, the warehouse has been simply cleaned up, there are no clues at all, and the three of us also came out a little helplessly.
That night, everyone saw that the lights were on in the old lady's room, and no one went in, so we all inquired about the situation in Li Yusheng's room over there, and we wanted to come to the old lady's room to have a look today.
When he came to the door, Leng Tong stopped, looked at a wooden board that was not too high on the threshold, and asked curiously, "What is this?" Why is it placed here, the old lady is old, isn't she afraid of tripping? β
"It's just a baffle." Li Yusheng said indifferently: "My mother erected it here, we are all used to it, no one has come in these days, I haven't taken it down, you go in, I'll take it down." β
Leng Tong saw that there was no room over there, so he asked, "Why did your mother erect this?" β
I knew that Leng Tong grew up in the city and didn't understand this at all, so he said: "It should be to keep the rats away." β
"Stop the mice?" Leng Tong really didn't understand, and asked curiously with big hairy eyes: "Such a four-inch-high wooden board can block mice?" β
"This little brother is right, it's really to keep the rats out." Li Yusheng nodded and said: "My mother is most afraid of mice, so she erected such a wooden plank, and said that rats are blind, unless they run for their lives, the eyes of rats can't see far, and they won't jump up, sure enough, since I put such a plank, I haven't entered mice in my mother's room." β
Leng Tong looked a little dizzy, stared at me with big eyes, and then asked, "Then are there rats in your barn?" β
"Of course there is, there are quite a few, and my mother usually doesn't dare to go." Li Yusheng continued: "There is also the big black cat, which is also raised to catch mice, and is usually afraid that the cat will bring in dead mice, so he won't even let the cat out. β
Now Leng Tong understood, nodded and asked, "Your mother must have gone out with the door open that night, and the big black cat ran out, right?" β
Li Yusheng was also stunned, not knowing why Leng Tong was so interested in a wooden board to block mice, so he nodded and said, "It should be, usually the big black cat doesn't go out, so he accompanies my mother." β
I listened to Leng Tong's repeated questions, and suddenly a bold hypothesis came up, was the old lady resurrected after death and frightened by the rats?
I was thinking about this when Leng Tong already asked, "Brother Li, is the wooden board where the old lady's body was parked still there?" β
"Yes, it's an unloaded door, erected in the barn." Li Yusheng also looked at Leng Tong a little dazed and asked, "Do you need to take a look?" β
"I want to see!" Leng Tong nodded and asked, "There's blood on it, right?" β
"That's right!" Li Yusheng immediately replied: "When you came that day, I also asked about it, and I also told you that it may be the blood stains spit out by the big black cat." β
At this time, I gradually understood what Leng Tong meant, and then said, "Tongtong, do you suspect that the old lady's face was gnawed by rats?" β
"Yes!" Leng Tong also stared at me tightly and said: "There are rats in the barn, and the old lady is most afraid of mice, not only was she gnawed, but I even suspect that the old lady rushed out, and it has something to do with mice!" β
"Stimulated?" I immediately took it and said, "The old lady was hanged herself, and then she was tossed and put here, and after she was resurrected, she was really scared crazy!" β
Leng Tong nodded and said: "The big black cat came out to catch mice, and at this time, the old lady woke up, was so frightened that she went insane, and strangled the big black cat like crazy!" β
After that, the old lady rushed out and happened to be seen by Brother Li. I took it and said, "If that's the case, you look for this board and check if it's human blood, and if it's human blood, then the inference is basically true." β
"That's it." Leng Tong stared at me with big eyes and said: "The blood stains on the board are not from the big black cat, but from the rats gnawing on the old lady's face, last night I asked the two witnesses who saw the old lady in front of me, and learned that the old lady's face was not hair, but scars!" β
"That's even more right, if that's the case, the secret of the barn will be solved!" I also figured it out, turned to Li Yusheng and said, "Brother Li, quickly find that door panel for us, we have to extract some blood samples." β
Li Yusheng was also listening, we didn't pay attention, Li Yusheng was already full of tears, and hurriedly went in to find the door panel.
I glanced at Leng Tong and Da Leizi, and I felt a little sorry in my heart, Li Yusheng should have regretted putting the old lady here, but the situation at that time was also unexpected by everyone, and it was not strange to be busy and forget that there were rats here.
Li Yusheng lifted a door panel out not long after entering, choked and said: "This is this door panel, if the blood stains on it are my mother's, then we are really unfilial, we have to keep a vigil in the middle of the night, put it for the time being, and we will build a spirit shed in the courtyard, how do you know that something will happen in such a momentΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Brother Li, don't be sad, things may not be like this!" I couldn't bear to look at it, so I comforted: "We can find out when we take a blood sample and see if it is human blood." β
As I spoke, I saw that there was indeed a blood stain on this door panel, the size of a basketball, and it was still flowing out, it should have been soaked at the time, and it had dried up by this time, but it was still no problem to extract blood samples.
Leng Tong asked Da Leizi to find a knife, dig out a piece of the place where there was a lot of blood, and then send it back to the bureau for testing.
Li Yusheng choked up on the side and said: "Two police officers, if you don't mention it, I have forgotten about the mouse, the mice here are still very big, and they are not afraid of cats!" I'm really an unfilial son, because my wife and mother hanged themselves, and then the corpse was gnawed by rats, and I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· as a son."
Leng Tong probably hadn't heard of a mouse who wasn't afraid of cats, looked at me, and then said: "Brother Li, don't be sad, what we said may not be right, it's just an analysis and speculation, and there are still some things to ask you, when you saw the old lady at that time, could you see the scars on your face?" β
"I was stunned at the time, isn't this a scar in retrospect?" Li Yusheng said remorsefully: "My mother must have resented me after deceiving the corpse, and now I'm not afraid, just let my mother kill me!" β
I looked at Leng Tong: "If that's the case, it's getting more and more right." β
"Well, there's a good chance we'll find the truth in the barn." Leng Tong turned his head and said to Li Yusheng again: "Brother Li, don't be sad, don't talk about the corpse, it may not be a fraudulent corpse, it may be a fake death and resurrection, this situation is not uncommon." Do you think about it, when you saw the old lady, the speed was amazing, or was it a lot faster than usual? β
Li Yusheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "I feel very amazing, I was also stunned at the time, it may not be so amazing, maybe I haven't seen my mother run like that for many years, right?" You say my mom isn't dead? β
"Yes!" I took it and said, "Your mother is fake death, and when you dressed your mother, the old man was still in a state of suspended animation. If our analysis is correct, your mother was brought to the barn and was gnawed by rats, and then she was resurrected. β
Li Yusheng was also a little stunned: "Little brother, then where do you say my mother is now?" β
I thought for a moment before saying, "We don't know this yet, we have to wait for the bloodstain test, and then we will analyze it, but we are not completely sure that it is your mother's bloodstain, and we can't be sure that it was bitten by a mouse." β
Li Yusheng nodded, squatted on the ground and choked, he must have been very sad at this time.
"Tiny, that possibility seems very big right now." Leng Tong pulled me aside and whispered: "In front of Li Yusheng just now, I was not embarrassed to say that the old lady's teeth were exposed, and it was very likely that her lips had been gnawed by mice!" β
I nodded again and again: "Yes, it is very likely that when the teeth show the roots, they look very long, and there are scars on the face, so it looks extremely scary." β
"We don't know what the old lady looks like!" Leng Tong said softly: "Let's go and take a look, I think there should be photos in the old lady's room." β
I also felt that our analysis was very close to the truth, so I came over and said to Li Yusheng: "Brother Li, don't cry, there are some things that you can't think of, and you are negligent for a while, this is not unfilial piety." Besides, we're not entirely sure, so let's go to your mother's room and have a look. β
Only then did Li Yusheng stand up and lead us over the curtain in front of the door and into the old lady's room.
Mrs. Ji Xiuying's room is no different from ordinary people's rooms, it is not too dirty, it seems that Li Yusheng and his wife still take very good care of the old lady, it is because of their personality that they often quarrel, and it is rumored outside that the old lady is angry, which may not be true.
Not far from the old lady's bed, we really saw a photo, a family photo or something, with a couple sitting in the middle, and several children standing around, vaguely Li Yusheng's brother and the sisters and daughter-in-law in the family, and two children.
I looked at Li Yusheng and asked, "Brother Li, is this your family photo?" β
"Well, the one in the middle was taken by my mother when she was sixty-two years old." Li Yusheng choked up when he saw his mother's photo: "My father was still alive at that time. β
Leng Tong and I hurriedly came over and took a closer look.
The old lady in the photo looks very round in her eyes, seems to be a little toothy, and naturally has some wrinkles on her face, which was still taken seven or eight years ago, and should be more wrinkled now.
Leng Tong and I couldn't help but glance at each other, and both nodded slightly, and they could understand each other's meaning without speaking.
If this old lady's face is gnawed by rats and some scars, won't it look half a cat's face at first glance?
Originally, when the old lady cheated the corpse, there was the corpse of a big black cat next to it, and it was rumored that some said that she had sucked the spirit of the cat, and some said that it was possessed by a civet cat, all of which had something to do with the cat, so they were naturally linked.
