Chapter 18: Blood on the Knife

"There's blood on this knife? Oh, I cut the weeds and cut my own leg carelessly. Aunt Liu said as she rolled up her trouser leg to reveal the scarred wound for the police to verify. I also went to Dr. Zhu's to get tetanus. ”

"My blood here is not human blood." Wang Xiulian smiled carefully, "I got it when I smashed a wild dog a few days ago." A lot of people have seen it. If you don't believe me, take it back and check it. ”

I asked a few more people, but nothing suspicious was found. Team Lu rummaged through the remaining sickle that had no bloodstain reaction, took out a handful, looked at the mark and asked, "Which one is Xiao Lingmei?" ”

Daddy Xiao's heart suddenly beat faster. Jun Xiao looked at Ling Mei in surprise: Why did you call Ling Mei?

Ling Mei frowned and walked forward: "I am." ”

Team Lu looked at her, then at her.

This girl stands out from the crowd and stands out too much. Up close, it's even more beautiful. He glanced at Deng Chunlai's staring blankly at the girl's appearance, and snorted coldly: Shameful thing.

"Xiao Lingmei, right?" Team Lu involuntarily softened his voice, "Your scythe, washed?" ”

Her scythe was too clean in the midst of the rusty farm implements.

Who told her to soak it in laundry detergent and wipe it?

"Hmm." Ling Mei explained, "Because Aunt Liu was injured, I sent her to the infirmary for injections. Dr. Zhu said that the rust on the farm tools is mixed with the soil in the field all the year round, and there will be some bacteria. Therefore, it is best to deal with it, if it is cut and it is too late to tetanus, your life will be in danger. ”

Team Lu sighed and looked at Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu nodded vigorously: "Yes." Yes, there is such a thing. ”

Team Lu asked, "Then all the farm tools in your house have been cleaned?" ”

"Yes." Ling Mei smiled, "Commonly used farm tools at home. My dad and I have both removed rust. ”

Deng Chunlai couldn't help but praise her: "You did the right thing." The number of deaths and injuries from tetanus remains high each year. Everyone should learn from Xiao Lingmei. ”

Xiao Dad and Jun Xiao both breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Mei came prepared.

Team Lu rolled his eyes at Deng Chunlai, put down the sickle with a smile, and suddenly asked: "When you were on the mountain, did you ever get along with Ma Jianguo alone?" ”

Ma Jianguo is greedy for money and is especially lustful. It is said that there are many women who have been harmed by him, but no one dares to accuse him for the sake of fame. If it was a beautiful girl like Xiao Lingmei, who aroused his interest, he chased him to the mountain early in the morning and wanted to do something wrong and then was cut by the girl, it is possible.

Daddy Xiao's relaxed muscles tensed again.

Ling Mei frowned a little unhappily: "No." ”

Team Lu understands, who wants to have anything to do with that hooligan?

"Then who saw Ma Jianguo go down the mountain and go home?"

Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment: "Lu Gong'an, I lost the key after going down the mountain, and when I looked back, I saw Ma Jianguo running down the mountain with his arms covered and running down the mountain." His face was horribly white, as if he had seen a ghost. ”

It's like he's seen itβ€”

Team Lu and Deng Chunlai glanced at each other.

"Did he walk around the village after coming down the mountain?"

The crowd shook their heads. That whole afternoon, no one saw Ma Jianguo's swaying shadow.

Team Lu was curious. What happened on the mountain that made Ma Jianguo flee home without leaving home? Scared to death at night?

asked again who had a grudge with Ma Jianguo, and after the recent conflict, the Lu team announced the dismissal of the meeting. Deng Chunlai put the knives in a plastic bag and took them back to the laboratory for testing, and Ling Mei's sickle was also among them.

The crowd dispersed. Gu Jinhua pulled her eldest son to stop the police.

"Lu Gong'an. Is there any progress in my son's case? ”

Team Lu smiled at the old man and said, "I was looking for you to find out the situation." ”

"You say, you say."

"Now, we can almost be sure that your son fell to his death on the broken glass bottle because he was frightened." Team Lu's wording is extremely measured, and people can't catch the slightest trick.

Gu Jinhua's old eyes welled up with tears: "My hard-working son! ”

Ma Jianjun didn't hear it right: "My brother was frightened? ”

Gu Jinhua was excited: "Who scared us to build the country?" ”

Team Lu shook his head: "That night, did anyone look for your son?" ”

Ma Jianjun died and his daughter-in-law lived alone for many years, and it was about two o'clock in the morning when the crime occurred, who would haunt the village in the middle of the night at this time? I slept when I should have slept, I shouldn't have slept on it, and I couldn't see anything clearly in such a fog at night.

Gu Jinhua and her eldest son shook their heads.

"Did you hear any movement in his house? Is there any sound? ”

Gu Jinhua is young and older, and her sleep is slightly lighter than that of her son. Thinking about the movements of that night, his face suddenly turned white. There was some fear in his eyes.

Team Lu asked, "Did the old lady find anything?" ”

"I-" Gu Jinhua swallowed her saliva and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Lu Gong'an, don't blame me for being suspicious. But in the middle of the night, I did seem to hear someone shouting, 'Oh ghost'β€”"

The Ma brothers' house is only separated by a small alley one meter wide, and the brick walls have no sound insulation effect. Since the old lady could hear it, Team Lu looked at Ma Jianjun.

Ma Jianjun hesitated: "I slept so hard at night that I didn't pay attention." ”

Gu Jinhua frowned: "I'm not sure if it was Jianguo shouting." But I did hear it. But there was no sound at the end. ”

The more Deng Chunlai listened, the more mysterious he became, remembering that Ma Jianguo was scared to death, and muttered: "Could it be that you really met a ghost?" ”

Team Lu glared at him and reprimanded, "What nonsense?!" ”

Deng Chunlai immediately added: "Of course, we are a socialist country, and ghosts and monsters are all nonsense. ”

Team Lu locked the mother and son of the Ma family and said, "Not bad." What kind of unjust ghost looking for revenge chatting story is impossible to exist in reality. ”

The expressions of Gu Jinhua's mother and son became more and more ugly. invariably showed a little panic, and tried hard to hide it. Team Lu saw it in his eyes and said in his heart: There is a play.

Ma Jianjun cleared his throat: "Mother, Team Lu is right. There are no ghosts in this world. Gong is looking for the person who slashed the second brother, maybe this person is the murderer. ”

Gu Jinhua also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes." Lu Gong'an, I must catch the person who slashed my son. ”

Team Lu narrowed his eyes: "You can't say that. The person who slashed your son is not necessarily the murderer. We came to him to review what had happened. ”

Gu Jinhua suddenly approached Team Lu and said viciously: "Lu Gong'an, you go and check on Xiao Lingmei, this little girl." ”

Xiao Lingmei? That pretty girl? Team Lu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "She is a little girl, she wants to retreat after hurting your son, and she wants to scare him into despair, it seems unlikely, right?" ”

Deng Chunlai nodded hurriedly: "Impossible." ”

Gu Jinhua snorted: "Xiao Lingmei's mother covets my son's 10,000 yuan dowry. promised to give Xiao Nizi to Jianguo as a daughter-in-law. ”
