Chapter 4: Bloody Handprints
Dai Guozi directly took the key of the jailer next to him and opened Ah Liu's prison door.
Before Ah Liu could react, Dai Guozi came over and pressed his neck, and the back of the head was slapped a few times, which was more ruthless than hitting by the river.
The madman was also afraid of pain, Ah Liugang wanted to struggle and call the official to beat someone, when he heard a woman's voice unpredictable: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to take my life!" I won't let you go. ”
Ah Liu's heart was weak, but when he heard the young woman's voice, his legs were weak, and he wanted to pretend that he didn't look like anything.
On the contrary, Gu Changming on the side couldn't react, this is the county government prison in Quyang County, where did the woman come from. The two sentences just now clearly popped out of Dai Guozi's mouth, he had seen it change its voice, but he had never seen it become so natural.
What's more, Dai Guozi was obviously still angry, which did not affect his ability to change his voice in the slightest. Gu Changming's face was very calm, and what he thought in his heart was that he didn't know if this person would only know this trick or learn something.
If it's the latter, it's a talent.
"I didn't kill you, when I saw you, you were already corpses." Ah Liu trembled under Dai Guozi's hand, and what he had touched was not the body temperature of a living person at all.
"You didn't kill it, why are you pretending to be crazy?" Gu Changming didn't wait for him to answer, and continued to speak, "That's because you thought that no one would know that you had done something more unbearable on these female corpses, and then you found that something was wrong." ”
If Ah Liu was scared by Dai Guozi just now, after being completely explained by Gu Changming at this moment, his whole body was paralyzed. If it weren't for Dai Guozi grabbing him by the collar, he would have been able to lie on the ground and soften into a ball.
"I, I really just want to see if there's anything of value in them. Nothing else. "Ah Liu ferries on the Tongtian River all year round, and there are still a lot of taboos.
Even if the three female corpses were young and beautiful, he would not have the idea of seeing lust. This kind of drowning ghost is the best at finding a stand-in, in case they are possessed, let alone a ferry, and they can't even approach the river in the future.
Ah Liu touched the corpse from head to toe, not to mention gold and silver, not even a piece of jewelry, and a few bright red ribbons were holding his hair. He shouted a few bad luck, and more bad things were still to come.
"Release me first, and I'll tell you everything." Ah Liu let go of the fruit and took off his clothes quickly.
Dai Guozi saw that he was dressed in black skin and black meat, and he was almost so angry that his nostrils smoked, and he wanted to hold him down again, but he was locked in, and you old boy still brought me this set!
Hearing Gu Changming shout and wait, Dai Guozi's outstretched hand hung in the air again.
Ah Liu has already divided his shirt by two, and he has cleaned all his shirts, revealing his lean upper body.
Gu Changming knew that there was something strange inside, so he looked at it more and more carefully. Starting from the third joint of the spine, the skin of Ah Liu's back turns bright red, and the waist down is back to its original shape.
"How did you find out on your own?" Gu Changming saw a large area, and his skin was abnormally red, as if he had been directly stripped of a layer of skin, revealing the flesh and blood underneath.
"It hurts, it hurts like it's being roasted by fire, even if you jump into the river to soak it, it's useless." Ah Liu saw their reaction in the bottom of their eyes, "This thing will grow, it was only the size of a palm at the beginning."
Dai Guozi also said just now that the shape of this mark was a little strange, and as soon as he said it, he could see that it was clearly the shape of a human hand: "It can't be your hand, right?" ”
"You'll know it when you compare it." Lao Qiu looked at the skeleton muscles, which was an expert. He asked Ah Liu to turn his hands over, glance at them, and then circle behind him, "That's right, it's his left hand." His middle knuckle had been injured, and the longer ones would have been thicker than the other fingers. ”
Ah Liu said with a bitter face: "I haven't figured out how my hand prints can run to my back." ”
"If this mark covers his entire back, I guess he won't survive." Lao Qiu's eyebrows squeezed, "Don't look at me, I will only look at the dead, and the sickness of the living cannot be cured." ”
Dai Guozi seemed to be talking to himself: "This thing should grow because he touched the corpse." You touched it too. ”
Lao Qiu jumped up on the spot and scolded, saying that Dai Guozi deliberately cursed him. Even if he touched the corpse, can it be the same, he is to find out the real murderer for the dead, if he can still take revenge on the head of the man, no one in this world will do it.
Ah Liu's eyes became more and more desperate in his scolding. Just now he pretended to be crazy with a breath, and the burning sensation in his back seemed to be bearable, and at this moment it was like putting his whole body on the fire, and soon even his internal organs would be burned.
"Either you can pick up the skin in the back, maybe you can save your life." Dai Guozi put his hands to his chest. Ah Liu was the first to find the body, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and obstructing the official from handling the case, so he should be taught a lesson.
Ah Liu was so frightened that he looked left and right, and his eyes stayed on Gu Changming. If you want to talk about a savior, it is estimated that this boy in brocade looks like a good person.
Without waiting for him to crawl over, Gu Changming spoke: "This is a good idea, you can try it." ”
Ah Liu shuddered and said, "I, if I say that I know where they came from, can you save my life." ”
To the point, although the ferry boat Ah Liu took the ferry from Quyang County. After all, he has been begging for life in the Tongtian River all these years, and no one in Quyang County knows better than him about the speed and direction of the water flow.
Gu Changming walked behind him, stretched out his hand and nodded a few times: "The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." I promise you to save your life, and you will tell me everything you know. ”
Ah Liu asked for a bowl of water, Dai Guo poured it for him, saw him stretch his neck and drank most of the bowl, dipped the rest with his fingers, and drew it on the ground.
Dai Guozi almost kicked and lifted it again, Lao Tzu gave you water, and you drew talismans for Lao Tzu's ghosts.
Gu Changming squatted down and looked very carefully.
Lao Qiu hurriedly pulled a handful of fruits from behind, and Ah Liu drew a map of the direction of the Tongtian River, so don't make a mess of the small fruits.
Ah Liu was determined to save his life, and he drew quickly, carefully looking up at Gu Changming while painting.
Gu Changming's face was like a crown of jade, he didn't have any expression at all, he saw Ah Liu's heart tremble, he accidentally slipped his fingers, and the painting went elsewhere, so he quickly lay on the ground and wiped it with his sleeve to continue painting.
"He's going to paint the whole river of Tongtian?" Dai Guozi is not so patient, and the 800-mile riverbed can draw him to sit through the bottom of the prison.
Lao Qiu rolled his eyes, Master Sun is too fond of the little fruit, there is nothing to learn, the character is useless, and the good seedlings are crooked.
Ah Liu drew to a point and stopped: "Here, this is here." Near Tang County, the Tongtian River turns into a tributary from Shibadu, and this season, the water flow is slow, and these corpses are floating on the water again......"
Dai Guozi didn't wait for him to finish his words, and ran out directly and said the word Tang County to the officials waiting outside, arresting the murderer sooner rather than later, and not delaying at all.
Gu Changming stared at the waterway map for a long time, and slowly stood up.
"I really said everything, and I didn't hide it. They, when they were salvaged, they were like they were still angry, they had been dead for so long? Ah Liu grabbed Gu Changming's trouser leg as if grasping a life-saving straw, "That's definitely not what I killed, I didn't kill it." ”
"You didn't kill it, you don't have the ability to do it." Gu Changming strode out, "Since I promised you that you would live, when the person I was waiting for arrived, he would be able to heal you." ”
The county ya's movements were very fast, and he got an accurate position from Gu Changming, and the old fist took four people, rode a good horse, and whipped away.
said that it would not take more than two hours to go back and forth, Gu Changming was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, and when the official came back, as soon as the clues were confirmed, the case would be solved, and he would not show his face in vain.
Sun Youxiang was pestered by Dai Guozi and asked, why had he never heard that he was a classmate with the criminal officer before. He was amused and angry: "Gu Changming is outside, what do you look like like this." Everyone is already a criminal officer, and I am still a small master bookkeeper in Quyang County, so I don't mention the old things. ”
"Then you are so polite to Gu Changming, whatever he says is what he says, I really think I am a detective." Dai Guozi was so angry that his cheeks were bulging.
Sun Youxiang smiled, raised his hand and touched the top of his head: "In the future, you will know that a small place has the benefits of a small place, and anyone under the feet of the Son of Heaven can mix well." ”
Dai Guozi looked at the smile of the adult, as if he understood a little.
Gu Changming was arranged outside alone, he was a patient person, he sat and recalled all the bits and pieces he saw after arriving in Quyang County, and by the way, he was able to pass the time, and the fingers of his right hand were casually dipped in some tea and drew a waterway map on the desk, and suddenly it seemed like he had been poked by something, and he almost didn't jump up.
Originally, Gu Changming was bent on finding out the place where the corpse was dumped, but after Ah Liuzhen circled the location, he felt that something seemed to be wrong. Tang County is not far from here, and the waterway is usually much slower than the land route.
Is it necessary for the murderer to choose such a close position, so as to make a fool of himself?
He had insisted on five and a half hours, looking at the corpse spots. After settling down and thinking about it carefully, the three female corpses looked too neat, and the clothes and skirts were not messy. In Ah Liu's confession, he did not carefully sort out the clothes of those female corpses.
The time of death does not mean the time of throwing the corpse, if the opponent kills someone, waits for five hours, and throws it into the water nearby, then the effect is exactly the same.
If this is the case, the murderer must still be in Quyang County, and use means to let them go to Tang County to fight for nothing. What awaits them in Tang County?
Gu Changming felt that the thoughts that came up later seemed to be more reasonable, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly went to find Master Sun's book.
"I've already brought people over, and I can't come back halfway. Even if it's empty, it's nothing. This will make it even more possible to confirm your ideas. "Master Sun made him feel relieved, riding a horse from here to Tang County, it didn't take much time, the master book over there was familiar with him, and he would help with the errand," I wanted to say at first, even if the corpse could float in the Tongtian River for more than five hours, it could still be guaranteed to flow to the same position for Ah Liu to intercept, maybe it was a coincidence. ”
When Gu Changming heard this, Jun's face flushed slightly, he just analyzed it too smoothly, no one mentioned it, and he was a little self-righteous.
Sun Youxiang waited here before he spoke, to let him remember it for a long time.
