Chapter 11: Murderers
As I listened, I became more and more suspicious. I asked the old man, "What is the relationship between this Liu Jiancheng and Dr. Liu? Didn't you say before that their father is kind and filial to their son?"
The old man looked resentful and said, "Yes, this Liu Jiancheng has always been very filial before, and some people have seen Liu Jiancheng helping Dr. Liu to take care of the sick together." But that was all in the past! I really didn't expect Liu Jiancheng to be such a person! Those patients were treated for so long and did not die, but now they are almost cured, but they were killed by him, this Liu Jiancheng, now the whole village is eager to burn him to death!"
I wondered, "Since they used to have such a good relationship, but now they are sons and kill their fathers, don't you think there is anything suspicious about this matter?"
The old man's eyes widened, and he emphatically said, "This Liu Jiancheng has already admitted his murderous crime!
Ying Qiu said: "Since you admit it, it won't be wrong, this Liu Jiancheng is really like they said, it's not as good as a beast." ”
I looked at Yingsheng, who also seemed to be confused, pointed to the crowd, and said, "That person is inside, why don't we go over and have a look?"
Shadow Autumn said, "Okay, let's go and see what this beast looks like." ”
Ying Sheng looked at the old man: "Why don't you go with me?"
Kagekatsu's sword came into play at this time. The old man led the way at the front, and Ying Sheng opened the way with his sword on his back, and in a short time the crowd made way for him, and we saw the man who was tied to a stake, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, and who had a dry firewood under the stake, and seemed to be really going to burn him here.
When I saw him, I confirmed one thing, and I thought about it.
The surrounding crowd was insulting, and the villagers felt that the person tied to the stake was disloyal and unfilial, and they hated it to the bone, and it was not enough to relieve their hatred. Liu Jiancheng heard the insulting voice but had no remorse, and shouted: "I killed all the people, if you want to kill them, kill me quickly!" The voice was sonorous and powerful, and it was an expression of looking at death as home.
Seeing this, Ying Sheng's expression also began to become solemn.
I asked the old man, "Where did the bodies of those who were killed go?"
Before the old man could answer, a middle-aged man next to him asked, "You are not from the village, are you? Finally, he turned his head to see the old man on the side, and said, "Old village chief, why are you with them, we were looking for you just now." ”
I thought about it, since this old man is the old village chief, it is much more convenient to speak.
The old village chief said: "A few of them are young men passing by, and they are interested in this matter when they go to spend the night with me, so I brought them here." ”
I suddenly reacted, Ying Qiu and I are both women dressed as men, is it possible that the CD is treated as a man? I can't help but feel funny, I looked at Ying Qiu's appearance so thin, half a head shorter than me, is it really like a man?
Shadow Autumn seemed to be in touch with me, and stuck her tongue out at me.
I can't help it, she doesn't look like a man anymore. Later, when I thought about it, I am afraid this is just a tacit understanding. The daughter's family walks around in men's clothes, naturally she doesn't want anyone to talk about her identity, whether she recognizes it or not, she doesn't mention it.
I made up my mind, walked up to Liu Jiancheng, and said, "Why don't you come and tell me where the corpse went." ”
Liu Jiancheng looked at me with a puzzled face. After that, he turned his head and said angrily, "After killing it, it will naturally be burned!"
I asked, "Why burn it?"
He didn't look back at me and continued, "Naturally, it's the destruction of corpses. ”
"Okay, then you can answer me one more question, how did you kill them?"
Liu Jiancheng finally turned his head, his face became a little distorted, and he said fiercely: "What are you doing with so many questions? I hacked them to death with a knife! How about it, if you want to kill me, kill me quickly, don't talk so much nonsense!"
I said lightly: "There are many people who want to clear the crime, but it is not common for people like you to be in a hurry to die. If you have any grievances, you might as well say it, maybe I can solve it for you. ”
Liu Jiancheng's eyes rose with a different brilliance, but it dimmed in an instant. However, the people around me were not happy to hear me say this, and they blamed me one after another, and even Ying Qiu jumped out and asked me why I said such things.
I said to the crowd: "Some people said that they saw Dr. Liu and Liu Jiancheng arguing, can you come out and tell me the specific situation?"
A man stood up from the crowd and said, "That's what I saw, the situation is like this, I didn't dare to approach Dr. Liu's house because I was afraid of infection, but the day before yesterday, Dr. Liu told us that the patient's epidemic was under control and would be cured soon." Because one of my relatives was among the patients, I secretly ran over the night before yesterday to check on the situation, and I happened to see Liu Jiancheng and Dr. Liu arguing fiercely at home. And because they were arguing, I didn't dare to bother. As a result, they didn't expect that yesterday morning, there was a fire near Dr. Liu's house, and everyone ran over to take a look, and found that Liu Jiancheng had burned all the corpses on the spot!
I asked again, "When you were arguing, did you see Liu Jiancheng wearing clothes?"
He glanced at Liu Jiancheng and replied, "Yes." ”
I said: "First of all, Liu Jiancheng said that he killed people because these people lived in his house for treatment, and he was very annoyed, but Dr. Liu said that the epidemic had been controlled, and Liu Jiancheng had taken these people in for a month or two.
As soon as this statement came out, the villagers accused me of exculpating the sinner.
"There are still people who think that Liu Jiancheng killed his father in order to kill his mouth, so why is he now admitting the crime of murder so simply? Isn't it inconsistent?"
Liu Jiancheng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and said: "Since you have been caught, it is the same whether you admit it or not, if you want to kill, just kill me!"
I ignored him, sighed, and continued: "I asked Liu Jiancheng three questions just now, one of which was when I asked him how he killed those people, and he said that he was cut with a knife, remember?"
Shadow Qiu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with this?" ”
I replied, "Since it's with a knife, then naturally there will be wounds." If there is a wound, it will naturally bleed. What this villager saw yesterday was that Liu Jiancheng was wearing the same set of clothes, so let's take a look, Liu Jiancheng has the slightest trace of blood on his body? Could it be that Liu Jiancheng is a martial arts master? Can he kill eight people without seeing blood?
