48. Li Shan's murder

Forty-eight Li Shan's murder case

The fourth Li Shan's house.

Lotus core filial piety to pay tribute to Li Shan's tablet.

Water Princess, Water Chestnut, Zhou An, Sally and others paid tribute one by one.

The water princess asked Lianxin, "Where is Li Shan's body?" ”

Lianxin said: "The elders in the society said that Li Shan died on the mountain, so the coffin should not be returned to the society. Now the mortuary is among the mountains. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to the mountains now." ”

Mountain trails.

The water princess asked while observing, "Is this the place where Li Shan fell?" ”

Zhou An pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Exactly." Look, princess, down from here, the grass is overpowered. ”

The water princess said solemnly: "General Zhou, with such a smooth road, Li Shan, who is used to going up the mountain, will stumble and fall, don't you feel strange?" ”

Zhou An nodded and scratched his head and said, "Yes, this matter is indeed strange when you think about it." ”

The water princess looked at another bush by the side of the road, pointed to the bush and said, "The grass on the edge of this bush has fallen, and someone has been squatting here for a long time." ”

Zhou An slapped his forehead and said, "Yes." Princess, if a person hides behind the grass, and Li Shan walks here, this person suddenly jumps out and pushes Li Shan, won't Li Shan fall down the mountain? ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Exactly. ”

Zhou Anxin was puzzled and asked, "Princess, isn't that just murder for money?" Li Shan went up the mountain to chop wood, what money did he have? ”

The water princess became more and more aware in her heart, and said: "Uncle Zhou, let's go to the bottom of the creek and see what will happen to Li Shan after falling down the mountain." ”

The bottom of the creek.

The water princess and the others looked around the place where Li Shan died.

The water princess asked seriously, "General Zhou, didn't you perform an autopsy for Li Shan?" How many wounds did he have? ”

Zhou An replied: "Princess, Li Shan has seven or eight external injuries, all of which are just flesh and blood injuries, not fatal. A fatal wound is a blunt, severe, hard wound to the forehead, which should be a stone impact injury. ”

The water princess walked and observed as she asked, "Stone impact?" Is it Li Shan's headbutt hitting a stone halfway down? Or hit your head against a stone when you roll to the bottom? Or is it that after Li Shan rolled to the bottom, he was hit on the head by the rolling stones that he was brought down? Which stone is it? ”

Zhou An said: "This, the subordinate was careless for a while. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "In that case, now let's make up for this lesson." Let's look for this stone. You can only look for it with your eyes, not with your hands. It is better not to find it than to find a stone and destroy the evidence. ”

The crowd answered, "Yes." ”

The crowd began to look down.

The water princess asked, "Stop!" General Zhou, what was the posture of Li Shan's corpse at that time? ”

Zhou An said: "The deceased was lying on all fours, facing the sky, and the fatal wound was in the forehead. ”

The water princess asked again, "Where is Li Shantou?" ”

Zhou An pointed out: "The head of the deceased is here. You see, the land here is sunken. ”

The water princess said, "Okay, you don't have to look for it. The stone that smashed Li Shan to death was the one next to it. ”

Everyone wanted to come forward and watch with an "oh".

The water princess said, "Don't look at it, don't touch this stone." Now General Wang Fei has been ordered to bring Niu You to this place to await trial. General Zhou asked General Zhou to invite Lianxin and the four brothers of the Li family, as well as the elders of the society, to come here. The villagers who are concerned about this matter are willing to come, so just invite them to come. ”

The mountains are full of villagers.

Wang Fei escorted Niu You to.

The water princess said to Niu You: "Niu You, I said the day before yesterday that I would investigate it clearly, and I would try it to convince you." Now that you're at the scene of the killing, what do you have to say? ”

Niu You shouted loudly: "Wronged! Li Shan fell from the top of the mountain and fell to his death. Folks, everyone saw that it was from here that they fell down and died. ”

The villagers did not have a good impression of Niu You, but they were quite suspicious that he would murder Li Shan, and there were many discussions.

The water princess said solemnly: "General Zhou, please tell everyone the results of the autopsy." ”

Zhou An was in good spirits and said: "Li Shan has eight injuries on his body, seven of which are: two on the shoulder and back, one on the buttocks, and two on the legs, which are friction injuries, which are not fatal. The fatal wound was in the forehead and was caused by a heavy hard object striking the head. ”

When Zhou An announced, the water princess observed Niu You attentively.

Niu You's eyes blinked.

The water princess said to the crowd word by word: "Folks, have you heard clearly? Li Shan fell from the top of the mountain and suffered seven wounds, but he was still alive, but in the end a heavy hard object, of course, a stone, hit his head and forehead, and thus died. ”

Niu You became nervous when he heard this, and reflexively retorted: "Didn't Li Shan hit a stone halfway through his head when he rolled down the mountain?" ”

The water princess glanced at Niu You and said unhurriedly: "General Zhou, please tell everyone about the posture and scene of Li Shan's death." ”

Zhou An announced in an authoritative tone: "Li Shan's body, limbs spread, fell on his back, his forehead was injured, and his face was blurred with flesh and blood. After Li Shan's body was moved to the coffin, the ground of the original head was obviously dented. It shows that the place where Li Shan's corpse is crossed is the place where Li Shan was hit with a fatal blow. This blow was from top to bottom, and the force was very strong, causing the ground to dent. ”

Niu You heard Zhou An's announcement, and his body began to tremble, but Niu You immediately straightened up and pretended to be casual.

The water princess looked at Niu You and asked, "Niu You, did you hear clearly?" ”

Niu You stammered, not knowing how to respond. He knew that Li Shan's murder case had entered his homicide case from an accident.

The water princess said loudly to everyone: "Folks, Li Shan was stoned to death here, did everyone hear clearly?" ”

Everyone commented: "It's so hateful! This kind of murder has never been heard of in the local area. ”

The water princess observes Niu You attentively.

Niu You was silent for a while, and argued: "The princess said that Li Shan was fatally hit by a stone, what about the stone? Which stone is it? ”

The water princess was about to talk about the murder weapon, and when she saw Niu You mentioning the stone, she said confidently: "You dare to ask which stone it is?" It's this one, and there's blood on it. ”

Niu You made a look of disdain, tilted his head, and said, "What can a stone say?" There are so many stones at the bottom of this stream, didn't this stone roll down from the mountain? ”

The water princess smiled and said to everyone: "Folks, whether this deadly stone rolled down from the mountain is the key to whether Li Shan fell to death or was killed!" More than 20 years ago, I got a piece of jade mountain stone. I've been interested in stones ever since. The villagers all live in the mountains and are familiar with the stones. The stones on the mountain are rooted in the soil, and the part where the stone falls into the soil has a layer of soil skin, and the part where the stone is unearthed, which is exposed to the wind and rain and the sun, also has a layer of coarse stone skin. If the rock is broken, the corners of the fracture are as sharp as the edge of a knife. But this stone is not like that. This stone has no skin, no sharp corners, and the garden is slippery. People say, where is this rock? ”

They answered, "Of course these are stones in the stream." ”

The water princess squinted at Niu You and said, "The villagers are right. This is a stone in the water of a stream. How could the stones in the stream fly out on their own and kill Li Shan? ”

Everyone said: "Yes, Li Shan must have killed people." ”
