Chapter 10: Attempts on the Way to the Wrong (II)
Wang Po lay on the ground, waited until there was no sound around, and then endured the pain and got out of her pocket.
"Oops!" Wang Po sat on the ground and couldn't help moaning. "No, I'll have to talk to him. At the very least, I'll have to ask him to figure it out for me. While pondering, Wang Po leaned against the wall and slowly stood up. Oops! As soon as she took a step, Wang Po couldn't help but cry out again. It seems that this leg was broken by them. This Zhou Tiger who has suffered a thousand cuts! Wang Po held the vegetable basket in one hand and the wall in the other, standing in place with a sad face.
At this moment, the little flower child appeared in front of Wang Po's eyes, and Wang Po was immediately overjoyed when she saw it. "What a good person has a good reward! Little Hanako, quick, come and help me. ”
Xiao Hanako raised her mud-stained face and looked at Wang Po with a puzzled expression. "Call me?"
"Yes, you little thing with no conscience, you don't recognize me?" Wang Po immediately showed an angry look. "These two days, who gave you your nest head!"
"Oh, I remember." Xiao Hanako showed a bright smile and handed the broken bowl in her hand to the princess. "Thank you, auntie! Thank you, Auntie! ”
"You! Oops! Wang Po was annoyed by the attitude of Xiao Huazi, and raised the vegetable basket in her hand to hit him, but immediately felt pain. Hanako turned around and ran. "You're back! Come back! I'll give you meat to eat! Give you meat to eat! Wang Po was in a hurry and hurriedly agreed to the benefits. When Hanako heard this, she immediately stopped.
"Really? You don't lie to me? "Little Hanako returned to Wang Po's side." I'm so old, how could I lie to you. Oops! This Zhou Tiger who has suffered a thousand cuts! "Wang Po was in pain all over, and she was worried that Xiao Hanako had run away, so she had to endure the pain while coaxing him with good words." You help me home first, and I'll give you a piece of meat to eat." You help me to another place, I, I, I'll give you ten dollars! ”
"Really?" Hanako's eyes widened, but there was a look of distrust. "Of course, I'm a good person, how could I lie to you." Wang Po continued to coax with kind words. "Every time you ask me for food, don't I give it to you?" "Well, that's true." After Xiao Hanako finished speaking, she walked to Wang Po's side.
Wang Po looked at the oily stain on the body of the little Hanako, although she was reluctant, but she really had no choice, so she had to frown, endure the strange taste, and limped back to the door of the house with the help of the little Hanako.
"Little Hanako, you wait for me here, I'll be back soon." Wang Po didn't want Xiao Huazi to enter the house, so she asked him to wait at the door, and walked into the house step by step by holding on to the wall.
When Wang Po entered the courtyard, she did not go back to the main room, but limped into the kitchen, put a large piece of beef, a jar of pickles, and two flatbreads into a vegetable basket, wrapped it tightly in a white cloth, cut a piece of meat and grabbed it in her hand, and immediately walked out of the courtyard.
"Little Hanako, give!" Wang Po finally walked to the door, and immediately handed the meat in her hand to Xiao Huazi, who snatched it and devoured it. "Delicious! It's delicious! "I didn't lie to you! Hurry up and eat, and you'll have to hurry when you're done. Wang Po urged beside her.
After Xiao Hanako finished eating the meat, she came to Wang Po again. "Where are we going?" "Keep going!" Wang Po pointed to the south, and the little flower child supported Wang Po and walked south, about half an hour, and then came to the southernmost part of the county seat of Shengtang County.
"How long do you have to go?" Hanako is a little impatient. "It's coming, it's coming. Oops, it hurts me. Wang Po groaned while continuing to coax Hanako. Just help me to the front of the woods. Wang Po stretched out her hand and pointed to a small forest in front of her.
Xiao Hanako looked forward in the direction of Wang Po's finger. The grove was seven or eight hundred meters away from the two of them, and in the middle of the grove sat a house with a high wall. The house stood alone, looking lifeless, and a short distance south of the courtyard was a continuous cemetery, which made this lonely courtyard look even more strange.
"You, where are you going? I didn't dare to go. Hanako immediately looked frightened. What I'm afraid of, my old woman is not afraid. You still don't want money! "Because it's about to arrive at the place, Wang Po's temper is naturally bigger." Come on! Xiao Huazi looked helpless, so she had to continue to support Wang Po and walk forward.
Finally arrived in front of the woods, Xiao Hanako let go of Wang Po, and ran back. "You, you don't want money." "I don't want it." Little Hanako shouted as she ran. "Coward! Don't pull it down, I saved that. Wang Po showed a look of disdain, and then limped towards the courtyard by herself.
Xiaohuazi looked behind her while running, and when she saw Wang Po turn around, she immediately stopped, and then secretly returned the same way and turned into the grass on the side of the road.
Wang Po took one step at a time, and finally walked to the door of the courtyard, and immediately stretched out her hand and patted the door rhythmically seven times in a row.
A moment later, the door opened a crack. "Why are you here today?" The other party stood in the door, although his tone was dissatisfied, but he also respected the princess. "Little bunny, help me in. Oops, it hurts me. The other party immediately walked out of the door and stretched out his hand to support Wang Po. Godmother, what's wrong with you? "This man is not tall, but he is a burly man, and he looks powerful, and his face is full of horizontal flesh, especially on his forehead, there is a deep scar.
"Hey! It's not all because of you. Wang Po said with tears in her tone. The man first looked to the left and right, and then turned to the princess. "Godmother, let's go into the house and say, this is not the place to talk."
The two walked into the courtyard and closed the gate.
………
"Childe, that's the case." After Wang Miao finished speaking, he looked at Li You with a proud face. Li You immediately cast an approving gaze. "Remarkable! If you can solve this case this time, Miao Er should take the lead! "Thank you, Childe!" Wang Miaole blossomed.
"Miao'er, the house you are talking about, but outside the south of the city, in the woods?" Li You frowned, pondering the situation stated by Wang Miao repeatedly, and always felt that he had some impressions of the mansion that Wang Miao said.
"Well, just south of the city, next to a cemetery, it looks eerie. However, the yard looks very solid, unlike ordinary people's homes. Wang Miao thought carefully for a while, and then added.
"Is that out of the yard?" Li You frowned, as if he remembered something. "Where's the yard?" Wang Miao looked at Li You curiously. "That murder in the house a year and a half ago!" As soon as Li You finished speaking, Wang Miao immediately showed a panicked look. "Ah, it's a ghost cannibalism case!" "What the hell eats people! It's just that the murderer was not caught! Li You immediately made a correction. But that's what everybody says. Wang Miao looked aggrieved.
"Miao'er, you are guarding outside the door, waiting for my order!" Li You thought about it again and again, and felt that it was necessary to compare the old cases before. "Yes!" After Wang Miao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the study.
Li You returned to his desk and pulled out a thick case file from the stack of files under the desk. Ay! Looking at the case file under the desk, the feeling of self-reproach came to my heart again. After passing this experience, we must concentrate our energies on settling all these long-pending cases.
Li You opened the thick file and began to read it carefully.
The case occurred a year ago, and the informant's name was Yao Fu, who was the housekeeper of the wealthy Yao Buwei.
After the death of his parents, Yao Buwei spent a lot of money to build a luxurious tomb in the south of the city. In order to ensure that the tomb was often cleaned and memorialized, Yao Buwei paid for the construction of a house on the north side of the tomb, and hired an old man to live in the house and be responsible for the daily cleaning of the tomb.
Because they have to live on the edge of the cemetery, ordinary people naturally don't have the courage to do so. However, the old man hired by Yao Buwei was originally a hunter, and it is said that he had killed a tiger himself, so he naturally didn't take the cemetery seriously.
Every half a month, Yao Fu wants to send some money, food, wine, meat or something to the old man who is looking at the grave. At the beginning of a year and a half ago, when Yao Fu came to this mansion, he found that the door of the mansion was wide open, the old man's head was in a different place, he was disemboweled, and all his internal organs were missing. As a result, the news that the old man was eaten by ghosts spread throughout Shengtang County, and no one dared to live in the courtyard.
Li You had just arrived at that time, and he lacked experience in handling cases, and although he racked his brains, he was never able to solve the case. This case has become one of the many unsolved cases, and it has gradually been forgotten by Li You. Looking back now, Li You feels guilty.
It must have been a homicide.
Li You pondered while reading the volume.
Since it is a homicide, the first thing to determine is the motive for the killing. Judging from the condition of the corpse, the other party either has a deep blood grudge against the old man, or in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he pretends to be a ghost and eats people. However, in the end, it all led to a result, that is, this house is out of the house, and no one dares to live in it anymore.
However, according to the information obtained by Wang Miao today, now, someone has actually hid in this mansion. Hiding in this mansion where no one dares to live is indeed a smart choice.
Could it be that this is the murderer's goal?
Li You's eyes suddenly lit up!
In order to make people dare not live in this mansion again, after killing the old man, he deliberately disemboweled the corpse, and then made the news all over the city. After that, after the turmoil subsides, wouldn't it be the safest place in the world to use this house as a place to live?
If this reasoning is true, then the person who lives in this mansion at this time is very likely to be the murderer of the old man!
Thinking of this, Li You immediately became excited.
In order to avoid the trial of Liu Niang's case, he deliberately instigated Wang Po to talk nonsense in front of him. At the same time, he calmly lived in such a murderous house.
You are a suspect in the murder of Liu Niang, and you are suspected of a ghost cannibalism case, now that I know where you are, how can I let you escape.
Thinking of this, Li You walked quickly to the door, and was just about to reach out to push the door open, when he suddenly realized a problem.
Now that the inner ghost has not been found out, he has rashly gone to arrest people, in case he repeats the mistakes of the past, wouldn't he have wasted his previous efforts?
It seems that Master Ben has to put in some effort and arrange it for a while!
