Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Murder Occurs
Chen Jinbao pricked up his ears and listened, the voice was faint, and he didn't know where it came from, he looked back, and the old man went back to dozing off. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Fugui, did you hear anything?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Wang Fugui listened carefully and said, "It seems that I heard someone crying." ”
Chen Jinbao looked around, because the voice was too small, he really couldn't tell where it came from.
"Fugui, go."
The two men left the old man's house and went into the alley and looked left and right.
"Master, the voice seems to be coming from over there."
Chen Jinbao looked at Wang Fugui's finger, not in this alley.
"Let's go."
The two masters and apprentices walked out of this alley, and the sound became clearer with each step forward.
In the end, after turning two corners, the two found the source of the sound, which was a little girl sitting at the door of the house crying, and Ma Zhuang was still squatting in front of her.
Chen Jinbao stepped forward, kicked Ma Zhuang in the buttocks, and asked, "Did you make her cry?" ”
Ma Zhuang stood up and rubbed his buttocks and said, "Wronged, boss, there was no one to guard here, the little one came here when he heard the cry, but he saw her sitting here crying, the little one kept asking her what was wrong, she just cried and didn't speak." ”
Chen Jinbao looked at this little girl, about six or seven years old, and looked at this house again, the door was open, and there was a small courtyard inside, and the door was still hidden inside.
Chen Jinbao squatted down and asked the little girl, "What's wrong with you, little girl?" ”
The little girl kept crying and didn't speak.
"Boss, you saw it, she didn't say anything when you asked her, she just cried, she didn't know if her family didn't know."
Chen Jinbao didn't bother to pay attention to Ma Zhuang, stood up and entered the gate directly, and pushed open the door through the small courtyard to take a look.
"Hoo ........."
Chen Jinbao gasped, a woman in the room hanged herself on the beam, she had a wound on her forehead, blood was flowing all over her face, Chen Jinbao was facing her, her face was bloodstained and her eyes were wide open as if she was staring at Chen Jinbao.
Wang Fugui and Ma Zhuang also followed Chen Jinbao over, and they were so frightened at a glance that they almost didn't sit on the ground.
"Go get someone over, hurry up!" Chen Jinbao shouted.
Wang Fugui and Ma Zhuang responded, turned around and ran away.
Chen Jinbao walked into the house and saw several dishes on the table, and there were broken plates and overturned vegetables and meat on the ground, which looked like the deceased had fought with someone before his death.
Chen Jinbao walked a few more steps and saw one or two pieces of broken silver on the ground. Chen Jinbao squatted down and looked at it, thinking to himself, the scene looked like he was eating with someone and then killed someone because of something, didn't the murderer kill for money?
.....................
Wang Fugui and Ma Zhuang came back with a group of catchers, and immediately surrounded the place, Chen Jinbao asked the catchers to put down the body and search the place, and he went to the little girl again.
At this time, the little girl was still crying, and Chen Jinbao squatted down and grabbed her shoulders and shook them.
"Okay, don't cry, I know what's wrong, is that person your mother? Do you want her to die in vain? ”
The little girl shook off Chen Jinbao's hand and cried, "Ah........ What else can I do if I don't cry? ”
Chen Jinbao said to her: "Can you help me catch the murderer, you know?" ”
"Ah........... How can I help you, my mother was killed by him, I definitely can't beat him! ”
Chen Jinbao thought to himself, can all children nowadays say this?
"It's not for you to fight him, I just ask you a few things, and you can say whatever you ask." Chen Jinbao said.
The little girl wiped her tears and nodded.
Chen Jinbao touched the little girl's head, after all, it was really sympathetic to witness this kind of thing at such a young age.
"Little girl, what's your name?"
The little girl sobbed and said, "Zhou Xiaolian." ”
"Xiaolian, where is your father?"
Xiaolian rubbed her eyes and cried again.
"I died the year before last."
Chen Jinbao nodded, it is true that this matter should not be mentioned, but if her mother is a widow............ Could it be that the widow Zhou who gossiped about Lao Liu is her mother?
"Have you seen your mother's murderer?" Chen Jinbao asked again.
"Nope."
Chen Jinbao asked again: "When you came back, did you see your mother dead?" ”
"Hmm." Xiaolian rubbed her eyes and nodded.
Chen Jinbao thought about it, if the deceased was the widow of Zhou that Lao Liu said, then things would be a little strange, first the ball of the county lord's family disappeared, and then the widow who gossiped died at home............... Is there any connection between the two?
"Did your mother tell you that there were guests coming to the house?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Xiaolian thought for a while and said with a crying voice: "I haven't said it." ”
Chen Jinbao frowned and thought about it, there are obviously so many dishes on the table, it will definitely not be so good to eat so well, this mother didn't say who in the family wanted to come, why did she hide it from her daughter?
"Where were you before you came back? What are you doing? Chen Jinbao asked.
Xiaolian replied, "I was playing in the street, and when I came back, I saw my mother hanging there, and then I ............. Ah..............h
The little girl howled and cried again, Chen Jinbao was a little at a loss, and at this moment, Ma Zhuang ran over.
"Boss!"
Chen Jinbao turned his head and looked as if he had seen a savior.
"Ouch, you're here, hurry up and you'll be responsible for coaxing her for me."
Ma Zhuang looked puzzled and said, "Oh boss! What do you say, the little one is here to report a discovery! ”
Chen Jinbao asked, "What discovery?" ”
"The deceased had fought with someone before he died."
Chen Jinbao yelled at Ma Zhuang: "Aren't you talking nonsense? There were broken plates in that place, and everyone could see that she must have fought with someone! ”
Ma Zhuang explained: "Boss, the small one doesn't mean this, the small one means that the deceased has some worn marks on his fingers, and he seems to be robbing someone of something before he died." ”
"Grab something?"
Chen Jinbao thought about it with both hands, how many pieces of broken silver were on the ground, and there were traces of wear and tear on his hands, robbing things? Could it be that the murderer still kills for money? Is this a robbery and murder?
Chen Jinbao came back to his senses and said to Ma Zhuang: "Okay, your discovery is very important, now your business is to coax her, if you can coax her to hug you and kiss you, the head of this case will be yours, you know?" ”
"Huh?"
Ma Zhuang looked at Xiaolian, who was sitting at the door crying, and looked confused.
"Boss, how about we go buy a candy man and come back?"
Chen Jinbao nodded.
"You can do this, hurry up and buy it for me."
