Chapter 116: Who is the Murderer (Three Watches)
No one answered Feng Tingting's question, and all the villagers looked at them with suspicion and distrust, which is also a normal psychological reaction, and when there is an unexpected factor, people must believe more in the people they know than in the sudden arrival of two strangers.
The atmosphere became extremely awkward, and just when the atmosphere became more and more solemn, the aunt helped Granny Gu out of the largest bamboo building and came to the crowd.
The villagers spontaneously flashed to both sides, making way for the two of them, and when the crowd dispersed, I saw that there was a corpse in the place surrounded by the crowd just now, an old man in his fifties. The whole person seemed to be swollen, and his legs were black and purple.
Seeing this scene, I immediately had a plan in my heart, it was because I was bitten by a poison that I would have such poisoning symptoms.
Granny Gu came to the old man's corpse. He opened his eyelids and looked at it, then broke the other party's mouth, and finally looked at his swollen legs, and said in an old voice: "This is a silver krait bite." ”
Hearing Granny Gu's words, the onlookers immediately became noisy. I thought they were worried that it would not be safe after having a silver krait snake in the village, but Feng Tingting's words made me a little confused: "How is it possible, the fifth master of the snake is originally a master of raising snakes, and he himself has two silver kraits, and anyone in this village can be bitten by snakes, only he can't." ”
This is an evil door, he is a snake breeder, even if he is accidentally injured by a snake, he must also have an antidote pill on his body, why did he die under snake venom?
"What did Snake Five look like when it was discovered?" Granny Gu asked with a gloomy face.
After the villagers looked at each other, one of the villagers stood up and explained the situation.
It turned out that when the fifth master of the snake was found, he was actually hanged in front of the door of the bamboo building, and the villagers who first found his body thought that he couldn't think of it, so he hurriedly rescued the rope next, but found that the person was already cold.
"When I saw the fifth master of the snake yesterday, I also greeted him and talked, he looked good, not like there was anything he couldn't think of, besides, he was a master of raising snakes, how could he be bitten to death by a snake? Someone must have done it. One of the young men said, deliberately looking towards me and Liao Qingjiang.
Nima! This is completely a basin, saying that someone is doing something and deliberately looking at us, isn't it a hint of what?
Sure enough, the villagers looked at us with even more unkind eyes, and they almost came up and attacked us.
At this time, I can't go if I want to, if I retreat now, others will only put this dead man's matter on our heads when we are weak-hearted, and I can only stare back: "We don't know how to raise snakes, how can it be us?" ”
Who knows, it was Feng Tingting who reacted more strongly than us, she jumped out directly, pointed at the young man and scolded: "Ma Shiyu, what do you mean? My boyfriend and Ji Zang only came to the village yesterday. If you have no grievances with the fifth master of the snake, why should you harm him? You just chased me and was rejected by me, and now you hold a grudge and deliberately want to wronged my boyfriend and Ji Zang. ”
No way?! There is actually a bloody emotional drama? No wonder this kid was so unsparing in inciting the villagers, it turned out that he was Feng Tingting's suitor before.
"I didn't say that the two of them have a grudge against the fifth master of the snake, but the village has always been safe and sound, the two of them have only been here for a day, and such a thing happened, who dares to guarantee that it has nothing to do with them?" Ma Shiyu, this kid is not bad at speaking, and he is also very familiar with the means of buttoning black hats, and it seems that he usually does this.
"You...... You mean! Don't think you're going to do anything about framing my boyfriend like this, I hate you most of all. Feng Tingting gritted her teeth and said.
I was on the side, I was a little surprised when I saw Feng Tingting's performance, I thought for a while that she said that she had taken a fancy to Liao Qingjiang and was just talking about it, but now it seems that she really treats Liao Qingjiang as a husband.
Liao Qingjiang was also a little moved, as a man, of course he couldn't hide behind women all the time, so he pulled Feng Tingting behind him. said to Ma Shiyu: "Don't play such a shoddy trick, I will divination, as long as you are willing, I can now divinate who died at the hands of the fifth master of the snake, do you dare to take it?" ”
The scene was silent for a while. The atmosphere is awkward and abnormal, and Granny Gu is also a little embarrassed, divination is such a thing, Miao Jiang people also believe it, but the problem is. Will the villagers trust Liao Qingjiang, and what if there is a problem with the result, and then there will be a fuss and more moths?
At that moment, I suddenly noticed a detail. That is, there is a problem with the direction of the wear of the shoes on the left foot of the snake five masters, and the shoes worn by normal people are either the forefoot of the foot, or the left and right heels, but they rarely wear the entire side of the shoe.
I read a lot of detectives in college, and I know a little bit about it. There is only one possibility of this kind of wear, that is, one of the five snakes is disabled, and it will cause abnormal wear and tear when walking.
"The fifth snake master has a disability in his feet?" I couldn't help but ask Feng Tingting.
"Yes, the fifth snake master has broken his foot and missed the bones. Then he went lame. ”
Yes, the one I saw at the window last night, one tall and one short, the short one must be the fifth snake master.
It's just, what the hell did the two of them talk about? Why was the fifth master of the snake found hanging in front of the door of the bamboo building. Still bitten by a poisonous snake?
Is that tall figure the murderer who killed the fifth master of the snake? But I saw him leave at that time.
I was a little distracted by what I thought, and I couldn't help but mumble, which was particularly noticeable in the unusually quiet scene. The crowd looked at me.
"Ji Zang, what are you muttering? If there is anything to say directly, you can rest assured, as long as you have done nothing wrong, my aunt will support you. ”
I hesitated. I still decided to tell the scene I saw last night, after all, it involved a life lawsuit.
But as soon as I finished speaking, Ma Shiyu couldn't wait to jump out: "You lie and don't see the situation clearly, you take a closer look at the fifth master of the snake." ”
I looked at the corpse of the fifth snake master lying on the ground, and found nothing unusual, a little unclear: "What's wrong?" ”
"You said you saw a person who was taller than the fifth master of the snake arguing with him, but the fifth master of the snake is almost 1.9 meters tall, the tallest person in our village, who can be taller than him?"
Hearing Ma Shiyu say this, I just noticed. The snake on the ground is indeed very tall, because I was standing far away, and I had a problem with the viewing angle, so I didn't notice it at first.
"How? Nothing to say, right? If the death of the fifth snake master has nothing to do with you, why do you tell such a clumsy lie? ”
I was speechless. However, there were also doubts in my heart: "Are there any other people on the village who walk a little lame?" ”
"Nope."
This is strange, I obviously saw a lame man walk to the bamboo building where the crime occurred and disappeared under the moonlight, the lame man is not the fifth master of the snake, who is it?
As for the height, I stood at the window on the second floor and looked down. It's normal to not be sure of your height from the perspective of the bird's eye and the hazy moonlight in the middle of the night, but the other one must be a lot taller than the lame figure, I'm pretty sure.
This time. Liao Qingjiang stood up again and said: "Let me try it, my divination technique is very effective, if anyone doesn't believe it, I can do divination once first to prove my ability." ”
Granny Gu looked at her aunt, then turned her head to look at the villagers who were looking at me and Liao Qingjiang with hostile eyes, then nodded and said, "You don't need to prove it, you can directly divinate the results, as long as you can be sure, I have a way to make the murderer confess." ”
When Granny Gu said this, the tone in her tone made me shudder a little, thinking of the pictures of snakes and insects crawling on my body on TV, I couldn't help but mourn for the murderer for a second in my heart.
Liao Qingjiang was also not polite. He went back to Zhulou to wash his face and clean his hands, took out the three copper coins he used for divination, and began to divination.
Soon, after the six divinations, he began to deduce the hexagrams. Just when I thought that everything was about to be solved, Liao Qingjiang's slightly closed eyes suddenly widened: "How is this possible?!" ”
