Chapter 159: The Murder Weapon
I looked at Shen Yu with my peripheral vision, she looked like she had turned into wood, and she just coldly raised the bottle and took a sip of water.
The streets are full of pedestrians, but the odious thing is that the smell of food in the air seems to linger, and when you close your eyes and smell it, you can smell the smell of grilled cold noodles, spicy tang, pancakes and fruits, lamb skewers, boiled corn, and hot and sour noodles.
Xiao Yu's stomach rumbled again, and she looked at a shop on the corner that was about to close, and her eyes showed regret. I looked at her, and she looked back at me, then glared at me viciously.
"What do you see? Is it okay for a beautiful woman to be hungry? β
"Why don't you buy something to eat?" Lin Ying, as the leader, finally said a word of empathy.
"I don't have time to eat, so we have to settle this case before midnight." Shen Yu tilted his neck and drank all the water, then stuffed the bottle into the trash can, turned his head and walked forward quickly.
"It's so ***." Xiao Yu covered his head and said.
"Teacher Shen, I know you don't want to eat, why don't you wait a while, let's buy something to eat and let's go together." Lin Ying chased after her to ask for her opinion.
"No, I can't stand seeing you eating." Shen Yu really refused, "You are the captain, 'You can't endure evil to solve the case?' ββ
"What is she talking about?" Xiao Yu asked me angrily, "Are you also hungry and can't speak?" β
I had to explain to Xiao Yu that Shen Yu was quoting an allusion.
In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Huan Wen was in power, and Huan Wen's most relied on confidant was named Xi Chao. At that time, Huan Wen intended to usurp the throne, and Xi Chao helped him fabricate charges, deposed an emperor, killed a number of ministers, and was in the limelight for a while.
One day, Xie An and Wang Tanzhi, who were officials in the court, went to visit Xi Chao, at that time Xie An was a third-grade official, Wang Tanzhi was a fourth-grade official Zuowei general, and Xi Chao was just a fifth-grade official Zhongshu waiter, and at that time, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Chenjun Xie family were both first-class family members. But Xi Chao bullied others and did his own business, making the two bosses wait from morning to evening.
Wang Tanzhi was hungry and indignant, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he was so angry that he wanted to turn around and go home. But Xie An stopped him and said a word calmly.
"Can't you endure evil for your life?" It means that Xi Chao is now powerful, and no one dares to offend him, can't you just endure it for the sake of your life for a little longer?
After I finished telling this allusion, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I understand, what Teacher Shen means on the surface is that you can't be hungry for a while in order to solve the case?" Actually, it smacks of threat. She still has something to say. β
"What?"
"It's just that if you mention eating and eating again, I won't help you solve the case-hey, where are we going?"
"I don't know, I just came to talk to you, and I didn't even know how many alleys I walked through."
Xiao Yu and I hurriedly rushed forward, followed Lin Ying and Shen Yu and turned another alley before I realized, we went around and around, and returned to the door of Zhenzhao's house that was surveyed at noon.
"Why are we coming back this time?" I asked, puzzled.
"I'll show you the murder weapon that killed Shang Weimin." Shen Yu took the key to the Zhen family that he had obtained from Lin Yingli, opened the courtyard door and said.
Night had fallen, but fortunately there was still a faint moonlight on the ground. Several of us took out our phones and turned on the flashlights.
Shen Yu led us past the pool and wheelbarrow in the courtyard, and then stood not far in front of the north house of the Zhujia family.
"Where's the murder weapon?" Lin Ying asked.
Shen Yu didn't speak, she raised her hand and pointed to the place on her head.
I also followed the direction of her finger, and I could only see the eaves of the Zhen family in the distance, and beyond that, the moon was suspended in the night sky that was not very clear.
"The murder weaponβthe moon?" I asked.
Lin Ying looked at me, looking like she couldn't cry or laugh.
She took a step forward, raised her hand to hold the black wire that was drying clothes in the courtyard of the Zhen family, and then turned back to ask Shen Yu, "Is this it?" β
Shen Yu nodded. Lin Ying walked to the end of the wire and said with the light of the mobile phone flashlight: "It's a new stubble, this wire has been cut off." β
"Look at the west wall," Shen Yu pointed to say, "there is still a big iron nail wedged there, and the wire used to be between the east and west courtyard walls, but now it is tied to the ladder in the middle, and it is newly tied." The nails of the western wall were originally bolted high and were still secure. The neighbor said that Yu Zhao was tall and big, but why did he deliberately lower the height of a clothesline that crossed the yard and was tied high, so that the forest team and Xiaoyu could be caught by it several times when they surveyed the yard. This doesn't fit the logic of everyday convenience, right? Look at the material of this wire, and then think about the marks on Shang Weimin's neck......"
Lin Ying silently put on her white gloves, and then motioned to Xiao Yu to help untie the clothesline and put it in the evidence bag she carried.
"Go back and let the technical department verify it, and also, seal the courtyard of the Zhen family, and search for fingerprints and traces of the murderer."
"But my concern is that the killer doesn't care about leaving fingerprints in this yard." Shen Yu shook his head and said.
"You mean to say that the murderer is the owner of this place, Yu Zhao?" Lin Ying asked.
"No, I think he's more of a victim."
"Then hurry up and check, what are you waiting for?" Lin Ying said anxiously, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and call the technical department, ask everyone to work overtime, and send someone to enter tonight to turn over this place." β
"Then you can check," Shen Yu yawned and said, "I'll leave for a while with Yan Zhuan and have something important to do." β
"What's important?"
"Nonsense, eat, people are iron and rice is steel!" Shen Yu left a sentence and pulled me away.
Shen Yu walked fast, she stood at the corner of the street, waving vigorously at the passing taxis. I caught up breathlessly.
"Isn't it skipping meals? Why do you have to go back to find something to eat? "I also waved her hand hard to stop the car.
She raised her hands, grabbed my shoulders and pushed them to the side, and then gave me a hard look: "Isn't it okay for a woman to be fickle - you stay away from me first, this place is relatively barren, and you don't know that beautiful girls are more likely to get a taxi." β
I had to keep some distance from her, stand downwind of her, and wave my hand to the road. A taxi happened to drive by, and when it passed by Shen Yu, it clicked on the brakes, and then accelerated inexplicably and stopped beside me.
"Handsome guy, where are you going?" A white and tender man rolled down the window and asked me.
I opened the co-pilot's door, opened the back door with my hand, and then waved to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was wearing flat shoes, she moved quickly and ran over, and as soon as she bent down, she got into the back seat.
"Hey, why is there still a woman here, and her breasts are still so big, it's really annoying." The white man muttered in frustration.
