Chapter 154: Progress
"Hmm." Liu Shunhua gave an affirmative answer.
"You and Zhu Er made an appointment to meet there that day?"
"No," Liu Shunhua hurriedly denied, "I didn't make an appointment with him that day, after Sister Su moved away, I didn't have any contact with him, and I wanted to ask for clarification after knowing that there was another secret in this matter, but I really didn't find a chance to meet him." That day, I just happened to see him pass by outside my yard, so I went out. ”
It's not Liu Shunhua! Zhu Er's appointment is someone else!
Shen Qingyu thought so, and listened to Liu Shunhua continue.
"I had trouble with my legs, so I followed me out, but I lost it quickly. When he was later found, he was already dead. ”
Shen Qingyu carefully looked at Liu Shunhua's facial expression, although she paused occasionally when she spoke, her coherence was quite clear, and she should not be lying.
"Can you think of some other details, for example, were there any suspicious people around when Zhu Er died? Or have you seen anything unnatural at the scene? ”
Shen Qingyu wanted to know more about it.
Liu Shunhua shook his head and explained that he had already told everything he knew.
Shen Qingyu asked: "Then you can repeat the process from when you saw Zhu Er to when you found Zhu Er's body, and it is best to describe your situation at that time more specifically." ”
Liu Shunhua sighed, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still patiently repeated the sermon at that time: "I was the only one left in the house that day, I just boiled water in the kitchen, and when I went to the house, I happened to see Zhu Er, I was in a hurry to chase him, so I hurriedly covered the door and followed." ”
Or because he recalled the situation again, Liu Shunhua spoke more fluently this time than the last time, and remembered the details that he hadn't mentioned before, "When I walked to that slope, I was a little scared, although I knew Zhu Er, but after all, I didn't know each other, so I picked up a stone from the ground and held it in my hand." ”
"Where did the stone go?"
"After I found out that Zhu Er died there, I ran back home in fear, and the stone should have been left there by me."
At this moment, Shen Qingyu had already figured out a lot, the trace she found on the slope should be the place where Liu Shunhua picked up the stone, according to what she said, Zhu Er was already dead when she arrived, and there should be a bloody stone next to Zhu Er's body.
But in fact, when Zhu Er's body was found and then reported to the official, only a bloody stone was found at the scene.
This shows that when Liu Shunhua found Zhu Er lying there, the murderer did not go far at all, he was watching from a short distance at the time, and then returned to Zhu Er's body after Liu Shunhua ran away and threw away the extra stone.
Why the extra move? Even one more stone doesn't mean anything, after all, this is not a modern society that can extract fingerprints.
If there is a clue to the murderer on the extra stone, then it is much more reasonable for the murderer to choose to throw it away, but what clues can there be on the stone?
She pondered for a long time, but no one called out to her, until the jailer made some noise, consciously or unconsciously, to withdraw her from her world.
Regarding why the murderer threw away the extra stone, Shen Qingyu couldn't understand it for the time being, so he simply put it aside.
"I'll let you tell the official that you'll be able to see your parents and the fat girl in a while. If there is anything you can say to them. Don't worry, since you didn't do it, you won't be wronged, and I will do my best to find the truth and give you back. Before Shen Qingyu left, he comforted Liu Shunhua very much.
Shen Qingyu left with someone, but he was still thinking about the extra stone in his heart.
If she was the murderer and she killed someone and the stone was thrown there, she wouldn't have cared at all, because the stone simply didn't have any evidence pointing to her.
But then a third person came, and she took a stone that could be used as a murder weapon, and threw the stone down in a panic.
So after the body is found, what will the investigators think, will they think that it is more likely that the murderer picked up a stone and hit someone, and then picked up a new stone to commit the crime, or it is more likely that a third person came to the scene.
It should be the latter, what would she do if she was the murderer?
Shen Qingyu substituted for a while, she thought that she should also throw away the extra stones, because she needed a scapegoat, and Liu Shunhua was undoubtedly the most suitable one.
She had finally caught the killer's tail, and now she had finally found a second suspect.
The witness who identified Liu Shunhua!
Of course, there is a possibility that Liu Shunhua will be seen, but in combination with the fact that the murderer is nearby, there is also a possibility that the murderer will find someone to testify against Liu Shunhua, or that the witness is the murderer.
It is not difficult to find the person who testifies against Liu Shunhua, but what disappoints Shen Qingyu is that this person does not look like a murderer at first glance.
He is not very old, his skin is dark, and he is used to looking at people from the bottom up, like a ruffian who hangs his son.
When he saw that it was a young girl looking for him, the initial apprehension was gone, and he sat down on a place by himself, and said straight to the point: "What are you looking for me for?" ”
Shen Qingyu said frankly: "I want to ask you a few questions?" ”
"Ask questions?" The man performed very exaggeratedly: "If you ask, I will answer honestly, there is no such truth in the world!" ”
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment, took a silver ticket and pushed it over.
When the man looked at the amount, he smiled, changed his tone and said, "If you have anything to ask, the little one must know everything and say everything." ”
Changing faces becomes so fast!
Shen Qingyu sighed in his heart, and then asked, "What were you doing when you saw Liu Shunhua that day?" Did it happen to go out or ......"
Before the man could finish listening, he hurriedly spoke: "That's not it, I asked someone to drink that day." The people I was waiting for didn't wait, so I walked around, and then I saw Liu Shunhua running away in a hurry. ”
Shen Qingyu seemed to get to the point, "Who did you ask to drink with?" ”
"Huh?" The man didn't expect Shen Qingyu's focus to be here, he thought that he would be asked about topics related to Zhu Er's death, so he reacted before saying: "A friend of mine, he is amazing, he has a serious background, and he will definitely be on the list in the spring next year, and I will have a friend who will be an official at that time." ”
Satisfied with the imaginary future, the man seems to be very happy.
But Shen Qingyu was shocked by this answer, his friend from a different family was one of the two tenants of Zhu Er's family.
Initially, Shen Qingyu felt that these two people were not suspicious at all, so he didn't take them seriously at all. But after listening to the man's words, she realized that she was too arbitrary, and these two scholars who lived in Zhu Er's house were very suspicious, maybe it had something to do with Zhu Er's death.
