Chapter 23: Suspicion

After a little interrogation, Niu Chunhua's psychological defense collapsed, and he soon confessed and told the truth of the case. org

The deceased, Yu Yashi, moved to Blackwater two years ago, when she had just fallen out of love, and she took a fancy to the quiet and elegant environment here, plus her work was broadcast live on the Internet, and she was not limited by location, so she moved here.

Niu Chunhua's home is only more than 200 meters away from the small western-style building rented by Yu Yashi.

The town is remote, young people have basically gone out, and over the years, there have been people who have bought houses outside the mountains and moved their families, resulting in the total number of permanent residents in the town declining year by year, and many houses are uninhabited and collapsed in disrepair - all in all, there are not many people in the town, Niu Chunhua's family and Yu Yashi are neighbors, and they are also one of the few younger women in the town (most of the people in the town are over sixty years old), and the two quickly got acquainted.

Originally, this was a good thing, but with the increase in contact, people in the town gradually knew Yu Yashi's true occupation, and gradually, more and more rumors spread into Niu Chunhua's ears.

Among them, Niu Chunhua is most concerned about saying that her husband and Yu Yashi have an adulterous relationship.

Although Niu Chunhua's husband looks like a black charcoal head, he can't stand the instigation of others, and Niu Chunhua also feels more and more that his husband is a little strange - for example, the two of them live less and less as a couple, from once a week in the past, to a month or two too lazy to touch her.

And in normal times, Niu Chunhua also feels that her husband seems to be getting colder and colder to herself, but when she faces Yu Yashi, she always has a hippie smile.

One afternoon three months ago, after confirming that her husband had slipped into the small western-style building, Niu Chunhua crashed open the door of the small western-style building and caught him in bed on the spot.

When Niu Chunhua talked about catching rape, her expression was still quite hateful and ashamed, and she even refused to reveal the details of the time, which can be inferred that the scene of her husband and Yu Yashi in bed at that time must have been quite "shocking" to her - thinking of the sex toys on the wall of Yu Yashi's house, we will understand.

However, in order to simply say "family ugliness should not be publicized", and in order not to be laughed at by outsiders, Niu Chunhua actually endured this breath - except for a big quarrel with her husband at the time, and then she was tight-lipped in front of people.

Half a month later, Niu Chunhua's husband left the town and went to the county seat, saying that he was going to work, but in fact, Niu Chunhua did not allow her husband to associate with Yu Yashi again.

However, Niu Chunhua and Yu Yashi live so close, although neither side mentions "that thing", but there are always times when they can't help it - it's just that Yu Yashi is tall, Niu Chunhua's height is a big difference, and she is stupid, she naturally can't beat it, and she can't win by scolding......

In the end, Niu Chunhua was heartbroken, so he designed such a murderous and poisonous plan.

The venom in the poison needle is the sap of a vine plant in the forest outside the town, which is called "Baizhu vine" by the locals, and is very poisonous, and if you accidentally scratch it, it will cause numbness of your hands and feet. It is estimated that the sap of the wheatroot contains ingredients similar to "barrel curareine", which is a plant extracted from a plant by the indigenous people of South America and specially applied to arrowheads for hunting.

She made the deceased look like that, firstly, to vent the extreme hatred in her heart, and secondly, to confuse the eyes and make the police mistake the criminal for a man.

But in the end, she let her dog bite Yu Yashi's corpse, although she let out a big breath of evil, but she didn't know that in the end, she also exposed the biggest horse's feet.

Since Niu Chunhua confessed, the case was solved.

It's a pity that this is actually a murder case caused by the love of men and women, and it is precisely because Niu Chunhua is unassuming about the "good deeds" done by her husband, so Cai Zhiheng and He Jun did not investigate the revenge murder before.

Niu Chunhua was held directly in a temporary detention cell in a small two-story building behind the church, and Cai Zhiheng said that he would notify the county police department to transfer the suspected murderer after the town's communications were restored.

Of course, Cai Zhiheng also expressed his extreme gratitude to us for helping to solve the case, at least on the surface, it is extremely real.

But after all this, when I looked at my watch, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was so gloomy that it looked like it was almost night.

"Damn, this is the weather!" Li Yi looked at the sky and complained.

He Jun urged on the side: "You guys go back to the guest house quickly, when it's completely dark, it's too late." ”

"What's too late? It's a big deal, let's go back in the dark. Li Yi was disdainful.

Cai Zhiheng glanced at He Jun and smiled at us: "This little brother, don't you care...... What Xiao He means is that you are not familiar with the roads in the town, and if you go back in the dark, if you bump into something, it will not be good to fall, right? ”

I have been quietly observing Cai Zhiheng and He Jun, and I can see the hidden changes in Cai Zhiheng's eyes just now.

I snorted and said, "It's okay not to say that I'm going back, but as soon as I say it, I'm hungry - Director Cai, your niece's cooking is really delicious, and the guest house is clean!" We're here, although it's to investigate the case, but it's too much trouble for you, so I don't want to go! The weather is not good, Team Cheng, in my opinion, let's go back while there is still some light. ”

Cheng Cheng naturally didn't say anything, so we said goodbye and returned to the guest house at the entrance of the town directly.

There was nothing to say all the way - in fact, I cautioned everyone not to discuss some doubts outside, the town seemed to be completely detached from the hustle and bustle of modern times, and before night, it was terriblely quiet, and every word we said could be heard far away in the streets.

When I was about to arrive at the guest house, I saw that Zhou Ou and Liu Haijun, who had stayed here, were waiting at the door. The two of us converged, Cheng Cheng asked a few words, and learned that everything was safe in the guest house and nothing happened on the street, so he beckoned everyone into the supermarket on the first floor.

As soon as we entered the door, I happened to bump into Haruko wearing an apron coming out of the kitchen, and Haruko greeted us while wiping her hands with her apron: "Everyone is back?" That's just right-that, certificate, yes, yes, it's you, come and serve me food! ”

Li Yi looked at Haruko's arm pointing at him, and was stunned: "You said me?" ”

"yes, otherwise who else is a 'certificate'?! What are you doing in a daze, come on, come on, the dishes will be cold for a while. ”

Li Yi came back to his senses, it turned out that Haruko was talking about the fact that at noon, because of the tattoo on his big flower arms, he called him "pork covered with a certificate", and Haruko seemed to be planning to press the nickname of "certificate" on his head.

"Okay, stinky fish, what are you really doing with a little girl's family?" The old knife saw Li Yi's indignant expression, pressed his shoulder, and said to Chunzi at the same time, "Miss Chunzi, my brother's name is Li Yi, and he is a large koi on the road. We're all adults, so you can't take it seriously, right? Don't call him 'certificate', my brother doesn't have any major shortcomings, but his face is a little thin, you should take care of it more. ”

"Okay, I listen to Brother Lao Dao, don't call him 'certificate'." Haruko nodded solemnly, then looked at Li Yi, and suddenly sneered and laughed again: "Then I'll ...... Let's call you 'stinky fish'! Serve me the food, it won't taste good if it's cold! I've been in the kitchen all afternoon! ”

As she spoke, the little girl turned around and went into the kitchen, Li Yi rolled her eyes in the sky, and with a breath in her nose, she followed Haruko into the kitchen like a bull who had lost her head.

Dinner was soon filled.

A total of 5 dishes and 1 soup. The dishes are served on the largest plate, which contains 3 meat and 2 vegetarian dishes: taro pork ribs, steamed grass carp, stewed pine moth with wild boar, cold wild vegetables, and garlic choy sum; In addition, there is a large pot of soup made with various wild mountain mushrooms, which is placed right in the center of the table.

Li Yi finally served the rice steamed in a large wooden barrel, and the meal was complete.

Suddenly, the sweet aroma of rice, mixed with the aroma of dishes, filled the entire dining room, and it came to the nose, causing people to be refreshed, and several people's stomachs were "gurgling", everyone looked at each other and smiled, and Cheng Cheng beckoned everyone to start eating.

Everyone was busy outside all afternoon, and they were really hungry, and Haruko's cooking skills were really good, and this dinner, all of us ate so much that we swallowed our tongues into our stomachs.

"This rib and pork are both wild boar, and the wild boar that was brought from the mountains yesterday, try them......"

"I've been boiling mushroom soup all afternoon...... This is Pleurotus eryngii, this is Chicken Leg Mushroom, as well as shiitake mushrooms, mouth mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, porcini mushrooms and bamboo sunflowers, all of which are locally produced by us, but they are fresh! ”

"Oh, this wild vegetable is not toon sprouts, this is called fragrant seaweed, it is a kind of wild vegetable unique to the nearby mountains, it is more tender and fragrant than toon sprouts!"

Haruko beckoned us to eat vegetables, and at the same time opened the encyclopedia consultant mode to introduce us to the dishes. She was very confident in her cooking skills, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moon when she watched us munch on food while praising her while eating with a lot of food.

"You little girl is a bad mouth, your cooking skills are really good, give you a thumbs up!" Li Yi took a big bite on a piece of wild boar meat while giving a thumbs up to Haruko.

Haruko raised her head and said proudly: "Hmph, of course!" ”

"Hmm, right...... Haruko, didn't you say that your mother lived with you on the third floor of the guest house? Why don't you call your mother down for dinner? ”

Li Yi thought of it unintentionally, but Haruko, who heard the question, suddenly collapsed.

Haruko lowered her head, and her tone suddenly became low: "My mother, she...... She was sick and lay in bed ......"

"But it's much better now!" Haruko suddenly raised her head again, brushed her hair behind her ears with both hands, and looked like she was cheering herself up, "The doctor said that it has improved, and it may be possible to get out of bed and walk around in a few days!" Let's continue to eat, I've already delivered my mother's food. ”

We all felt uncomfortable in our hearts, and comforted Haruko, and Li Yi immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Haruko, I didn't mean to mention this......"

Haruko shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone eats, don't waste ......"

After eating, it was just completely dark outside.

I stood at the door of the small supermarket with Lao Dao and Cheng Cheng, looking at the night outside the store, and I felt a little weird.

The sky was almost completely blackβ€”there was neither moonlight, nor stars, nor the slightest faint glow at the edge of the sky, and the town was dark.

Haruko was already moving the door panels, and was actually preparing to close the door - this kind of old-fashioned store door with detachable door panels is rarely seen anymore.

Lao Dao asked, "Miss Haruko, are you going to close the door?" ”

Haruko let out an "um" and began to assemble the door panels piece by piece in the groove of the gate.

"Listen to your Uncle Cai, there are still more than 100 people living in the town, why don't any families have the lights on?"

"In the mountains, everyone goes to bed early."

"But it's only seven o'clock now, and you slept so early?!"

"The people who stayed in the town were old people and children...... Anyway, there is nothing to do at night, and the old people are worried about the electricity bill, so what's so strange about this - come, let me, I'll install the door panel......"

After all the door panels were installed, the door of the small supermarket was closed, and Haruko brought a large bundle of wooden sticks from the corner, which turned out to be the door posts, and Haruko carefully put them behind each door panel one by one, and we wanted to help, but we were all politely refused.

After doing all this, Chunzi clapped her hands and said to Cheng Cheng: "Brother Cheng, you have to tell everyone that before dawn tomorrow, you can't open the door, let alone go outside." ”

Cheng Chengqi said: "Why? ”

"That's it...... Don't you see it's dark outside? Don't go out when it's dark......"

"Wolves out there?"

"It's ...... anyway Insecurity! ”

Chunzi was confused, and she couldn't say why, and finally simply pouted: "I told you anyway, you must go out and do whatever you want!" ”

He stomped his foot angrily and walked away.

Now, not to mention Cheng Cheng, Lao Dao and I are also very surprised.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Cheng called everyone and held a meeting in his room to summarize the work of most of the day.

First of all, the two people left behind, Liu Haijun spoke: "There is nothing unusual in the guest house. However, we found that there were not many people living in the town at all, and we looked at the front of the store for an afternoon, and we saw a total of 5 townspeople, 4 of whom we had seen when we entered the town in the morning. ”

"Also, Miss Haruko said that her mother was recuperating on the third floor...... But, all afternoon, in fact, she didn't go upstairs once - she had lied just now, and she definitely didn't bring food upstairs. Liu Haijun finally added.

Cheng Cheng nodded: "Very good." Next, I'll tell you what the four of us saw in town. ”

Cheng Cheng told us how we solved the murder of Yu Yashi.

After listening, Liu Haijun and Zhou Ou didn't react, but Lao Dao frowned: "Strange, why do I think now, is our case too simple to solve?" Aji, the key clues in this case are all analyzed by you, you can talk about it. ”

I thought about it, nodded and said, "When you say this, I also feel hairy in my heart, and I am not very steady." But it's not the case itself, I think that even if the real murderer of Yu Yashi is not that Niu Chunhua, she is at least an accomplice to coercion, and she has no choice but to run. ”

"But this case is really a bit unrealistic. The strangest point is, why didn't Yu Yashi's body be disposed of? I also frowned, "You know, before we arrived, this body had been found for nearly two days, no matter how short of manpower, it wouldn't take two days to investigate the scene, why did you still leave the body at the crime scene?" Cai Zhiheng and He Jun both said that there were many beasts near Blackwater Town, so they were not afraid that the corpses would be destroyed twice? In my opinion, the two of them seem to have deliberately kept this first scene for us to see! ”
