Chapter 27: Male Corpse
In the dark and damp wooden house, soft and collapsed moss was sticky, and some rotten wooden planks had grown fungi.
A few catchers stood there, chatting quietly with their heads down, and when they saw Li Zhutou coming, they all shouted in unison.
Li Zhutou just shook his head and said to Mu Chen: "The murderer has been found, but there are still suspicious places." I heard that the prince also came to Hengling, so I took the liberty to invite you over. ”
"What about the murderer?" Mu Chenhuan glanced at it, and there was no emotion on his cold face.
The murderer lurked in the city of Sunrise and mutilated several women. has repeatedly made strange poisons and cruel methods, and it is time to give an explanation to the deceased.
It's just that the case was solved so quickly, and it always felt that something was not quite right.
Going around and around before, the toxins were hidden very deeply, and the murderer was also extremely secretive.
But now, the truth has emerged so abruptly. It's like the murderer deliberately jumped out so that they could find it.
Lu Fu felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She stood in the room, looked around as well, and finally looked at Li Zhutou.
Li Zhutou glanced at the two of them heavily, his face was embarrassed, but he finally said: "When we came, that man had already committed suicide by taking poison. ”
Li Zhutou took them out of a courtyard outside, and a corpse was lying flat under a few catchers.
When the white cloth was lifted, the face of a middle-aged man greeted. There is no hideous expression, and the skin is naturally colored, and there is no blackening.
Lu Fu squatted down and sniffed closer, it was a faint strange fragrance - he had given himself the same poison he had given to other women.
Spider Gu.
Li Zhutou said: "After investigation, this person is a sweeping monk who once lived in the Qing Temple, and later returned to his hometown, built a wooden house at the foot of Xiling Mountain, and has been living alone for many years. He had no relatives or friends, and he did not have a wife. ”
Green Fu looked at the male corpse, about forty and two years old. Because the characteristics of the spider Gu are the intact features that can preserve the corpse before its death, it can be clearly seen that the man's face has the calm and peacefulness unique to monks, and his temperament is dull and ordinary, not like a ruthless person who can poison and kill many women.
Mu Chen's calm and deep voice came from behind him, "Why did you determine that this person is the murderer?" ”
Lu Fu got up and looked back at Li Zhutou.
In fact, she was also puzzled, how could she so quickly confirm who the murderer was and where she was when she came to Hengling for a short time? And when they came, he died of poison like this?
Although there is no memory, the fate of Gu Poison and Green Fu is restrained by a fate that is difficult to cut off.
Li Zhutou groaned, at first, he was also a little puzzled. The case was confusing, and they had thoroughly investigated in Suyang City for many days, but there was no result.
But when Mu Chen and Lu Fu just sorted out some clues and asked him to quickly bring someone to Hengling to investigate, the truth of the case will be as if they have grown legs, and they will find it by themselves.
Li Zhutou said: "This thing is also strange. I first took people to the vicinity of Juqing Temple to investigate, and then I stopped at a teahouse at the foot of the mountain, and I heard someone whispering about the secret drug production of people in Hengling. These days, the investigation of the case by the yamen has been dark, and as soon as I heard about the poison, I shook my spirits and pricked up my ears to listen. I thought that this was a clue that could not be let go, so I bought the news from those people, and then I found out about this location at the foot of Xiling Mountain. ”
It's just that what they didn't expect was that as soon as they came, the person was already dead.
Because there is indeed a strange poison hidden in the house, the hidden place in the backyard is also planted with dense lianxin flowers.
Li Zhutou and others were suspicious.
Li Zhutou asked: "Lord Wang, do you think there is any doubt about this?" ”
After all, he is only good at arresting people, and he doesn't dare to make a conclusion about this judgment.
But it is obvious that Mu Chen, as a general who kills the enemy, has no experience in judging cases.
What's more, he came to Hengling just as a companion.
The slender black eyes glanced at the pretty figure, as if the question was quietly thrown to her.
Lu Fu met Li Zhutou's puzzled gaze and coughed softly.
"According to the logic of the adult's judgment, I don't know if this person is a murderer - after all, there is no proof of death. If someone wants to frame a wrongful accusation, it is also easy. It's just ......" Lu Fu refocused her gaze on the corpse on the ground, her eyes were clear, and there was a hot thing in her chest that was fluttering, drawing her thoughts to the past that made her feel confused and blank.
Lu Fu took a deep breath, clenched the hand in the incense sleeve, and said in a firm tone: "If he was really the one who poisoned the ten women, he wouldn't die so easily." - In other words, if you really want to die, you will not choose to die in the same way as the murdered woman. ”
Spider Gu is an extremely vicious Gu poison.
It has always been a poison used by women.
But now the murderer found by Li Zhutou is actually a man.
It's not that Green Fu didn't guess that men would also use spider Gu.
It's just that she vaguely remembered in her mind that someone had told her that no one would be willing to create ruthless Gu poison to kill wantonly.
Only those who distort human nature and hate the world will do whatever it takes to deprive others of their right to live.
The man lying on the ground had become a monk and had cleansed his heart. Later, it was still vulgar and dusty, and there must be something in my heart.
It's just that going around like this, a person who has nothing to care about in the world, what has happened to make his heart so twisted?
This is a point that needs to be broken through. Otherwise, he would not have been identified as a murderer so quickly.
This West Ridge is a remote place in Hengling, and there is no one to live and stay nearby. It is not easy to understand him from the people around him.
Regarding the two points that Li Zhutou said, Lu Fu felt that it needed to be thoroughly investigated.
One of them is a Buddhist monk in Juqing Temple. This person once worked as a sweeping monk in Juqing Temple, so there must be traces of his life.
The second is the source of Li Zhutou's news - the teahouse at the foot of Juqing Temple Mountain. Some people are talking about drug production there, which shows that poison is not a taboo thing in Hengling. It can even be determined that drug production is allowed in Hengling.
Maybe a little more detailed investigation can lead to something else.
It would be even better if we could find the people who were talking in the teahouse again.
Lu Fu had an idea in her heart, so she asked Li Zhutou to start doing it as soon as possible.
Seeing Li Zhutou's hesitant appearance, Mu Chen bowed his head and said to him: "Lu Fu's words are the order of this king, just do it." ”
Li Zhutou was stunned for a moment.
Lu Fu smiled knowingly. Li Zhutou is still, he doesn't trust himself.
But it is also understandable that although he was invited by Wang Hao to help the yamen, he was still an assistant in the end. In King Ling's Mansion, it is just a yamen.
Left and right, her status is not high. is not qualified to speak in the case.
Li Zhutou hesitated for half a minute, and then said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhutou waved his hand to the few catchers behind him, and cleaned up the corpses on the ground first.
"Wait." Green Fu shouted, "The corpse is left." ”
She also needed to observe further. Although the superficial characteristics are no different from those female corpses, if you stay, you may have another gain.
She also wanted to transfer it to Liu Shiran for inspection when the time came.
