Chapter XVII: Reconsideration of the Case

"What? Lethal weapon? ”

"That's right, the real cause of Tu Laosan's death was not drunkenness, but someone covered his mouth and nose with this silk handkerchief and suffocated to death." Xiao Mu said with certainty: "You actually returned such important physical evidence to the murderer, I really don't know what you think?" ”

"No, it's impossible, how can Mu Niangzi be a murderer!" I roared angrily: "It's true that this silk handkerchief is Mu Niangzi, but at three o'clock yesterday, Mu Niangzi met Tu Laosan on the way home, and was entangled by him, and the silk handkerchief was snatched away by him." It is not surprising that it fell into Tu Laosan's house. ”

"Mu Niangzi!" The corners of Xiao Mu's mouth lifted lightly, revealing a sneer: "I have been paying attention to this person for a long time, and she is by no means as simple as you think."

She was an inn from Fushun's hands three years ago, renamed Jianghu Inn, but she has never shown up since then, and the entire inn is still managed by Fushun.

At the end of March this year, when Qin Cha came to Xiangzhou City, she followed suit, and vigorously promoted the unlimited clear soup noodles in her store, which attracted the people in the city to go one after another.

I once went into the restaurant and ordered a bowl, and the noodles were so light that they didn't even seem to have any salt. The result was really hard to swallow, and she was forced to pay her thirty cents.

A woman, who would show her head like her? Who gave her the courage to ask for ten times the face money at will, and if she didn't give it, she would face prison? ”

I couldn't help it: "Since you are a secret agent, don't you know that Mu Niangzi is the sister of Mu County Lieutenant?" His brother came to Xiangzhou with Qincha, and she just appeared, what's so strange about this?

I heard that her former husband was very rich, and he had many shops under him, and he bought Fubo's inn, what happened?

There is also the three-pennie clear soup noodles in her shop, which is specially prepared for the poor people, and the really hungry people eat it cleanly regardless of whether they have salt or not. You can't eat, that's because you're not hungry enough.

Although she is the younger sister of Mu County Lieutenant, she did not use this to fake the power of the tiger, but used this identity to do good deeds and give the poor people the dignity of survival.

Because of this, Xu County Ling will support it and send some guests who have money and just want to be greedy to go to prison and teach them a few days. As far as I know, so far, only two or three scoundrels have actually been sent to prison. ”

"Looks like you're looking for a pretty good idea." Xiao Mu's eyes fell on the silk handkerchief in my hand: "Then how to explain this murder weapon?" ”

I was anxious: "I just said it, this is that Tu Laosan snatched it from Mu Niangzi, how can you slander Mu Niangzi as a murderer based on this alone?"

She is a weak woman, how did she enter Tu Laosan's house? How to kill him? And how did you escape? ”

Xiao Mu still waved his fan calmly: "Early in the morning, I was having breakfast at a roadside stall, and suddenly I saw the county lieutenant Xiao and a team of people hurrying to Tu Laosan's house, so I went to see the excitement with the people.

I only heard Zhang Xiaoquan report to Xiao County Lieutenant: Tu Laosan died of inhalation due to vomiting after being drunk.

Xiao County Lieutenant asked Tu Laosan's mother and her mother, and they all showed that Tu Laosan was tied to the door, and said: Beauty, is this handkerchief given to me?

This shows that there was someone in the room at that time, it should be a woman, who was quite beautiful, and gave Tu Laosan something. And the extra thing on Tu Laosan's body is this silk handkerchief, and the owner of this silk handkerchief is Mu Niangzi. It's just that you were careless in the autopsy at that time, and the officials only paid attention to the surrounding scene, and did not move the corpse, and did not find this silk handkerchief.

So, if she didn't kill Tu Laosan, who else could it be? ”

"Hahaha, that's ridiculous! That's your reasoning? I couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can a drunken man's madness be taken seriously?" He ate wine in Wanhualou, you should know what kind of place it is, and Bacheng still fantasizes about which woman.

Besides, Brother Chu only entered the room after hitting the door, and only Tu Laosan died on the ground in the room at that time, and then Tu Laosan's mother and son were always in the room until Brother Chu called the people from the government, and the windows of the room were also closed. If he killed, where did the murderer get out? ”

Xiao Mu pointed his fan to the sky: "What if the murderer will fly off the wall?" Is it possible to go out from the roof? I saw that the trappers searched the surroundings carefully, but they didn't check the beams and roofs, and this is a loophole! ”

Sure enough, it was a self-righteous guy, and I also sneered: "Then according to you, how did Tu Laosan die?" ”

On the way home from Wanhualou, Tu Laosan met Mu Niangzi, who spoke lightly with the strength of wine, but failed to do so. Subsequently, he returned home disappointed, and when he looked at his wife, he felt ugly, so he not only beat her, but also bolted the door.

At this moment, he found that Mu Niangzi was in his room, and she was waving a silk handkerchief at him, so he cheered: Beauty, is this handkerchief for me?

Mu Niangzi didn't answer, took a few steps forward, led Tu Laosan to the wall, and put the silk handkerchief on his mouth and nose, just as he leaned against the wall and greedily enjoyed the fragrance on the handkerchief. Mu Niangzi increased the force on her hands, and at the same time raised her legs and pressed her knees against his abdomen.

Tu Laosan's stomach was injured, and the food in his stomach gushed out, but his mouth and nose were held down, he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't breathe well, so he naturally inhaled the spit out into the airway.

Mu Niangzi saw that Tu Laosan had difficulty breathing and the silk handkerchief was dirty, so she jumped straight onto the beam and left from the roof, of course, covered the thatch of the roof.

The silk handkerchief fell to the ground, and Tu Laosan also slowly fell, he struggled to the death, but he couldn't cough up the vomit from the airways, so he suffocated to death.

This is the whole process of Tu Laosan's 'drunk death'.

Using an accident to cover up a murder is the killer's most clever approach. Tu Laosan was an alcoholic, and he often vomited after drinking, and was choked into the airway by vomit, which was also easy to accept.

Sure enough, the results of Zhang Xiaoquan's autopsy were the same, and the family of the deceased had no objections.

However, since the arrival of the Qin Cha, he has been very strict with officials of all sizes in Xiangzhou, and Peng Lun, the former commander of Yongqing County, was not only beaten but also dismissed because of his dereliction of duty and arbitrary judgment of cases.

Our Xu County Commander ordered, we can't make a decision easily when we encounter a case, so Xiao County Lieutenant specially invited another person from the Assassin's Mansion to conduct an autopsy, and Wang Fatzi made some excuses to give you a chance to perform, so they invited you.

Your results are consistent with Zhang Xiaoquan. Although they didn't notice the silk handkerchief behind the deceased at the time, even if they did, they were afraid that they would think that it was a gift from the woman of Wanhualou, just like the bitter master. Therefore, Xu Xianling closed the case as an 'accidental death'.

However, Mu Niangzi didn't know your identity, thinking that you were just a tofu maker, she never expected that you would be invited for an autopsy and would recognize her silk handkerchief. So he panicked you, tricked Sipa, and hid her under the bed. If I hadn't arrived in time to find an excuse to separate her and steal the physical evidence, I'm afraid that this murder weapon would have been destroyed by her long ago. ”

There was indeed some vomit on the silk handkerchief, which was indeed pressed behind his back, and what Tu Laosan said before he died, it made sense for Xiao Mu to explain it like this. I didn't go up to take a closer look, but there were debris of thatch in the house, could it be that the murderer really left from the roof?

Mu Niangzi? No, how could it be?

There was a pang in my mind, and after a moment, I looked at the self-righteous guy in front of me again: "It's all your reasoning. Although I'm not a county magistrate, and I'm not even a quick arrest, I know that the verdict of a case is based on evidence.

You guess that Mu Niangzi will fly off the wall, so why was she teased by Tu Laosan on the street and did not beat him, but followed him to his house to kill him, and left her own silk handkerchief? ”

Xiao Mu argued: "Because she wants to hide her kung fu, it is inevitable that people will be discovered on the street." However, she was unwilling to be slighted by Tu Laosan like this, so she still sneaked into his house and used the accident to kill him. She may have a habit of cleanliness, and she won't ask for anything that is dirty. She was even quite confident, thinking that even if she left the murder weapon, no one would be able to do anything to her. ”

I looked at Xiao Mu in surprise: "Does Brother Mu know her like this?" ”

Xiao Mu's bright eyes flashed with a hint of unpredictable light, this kind of look surprised me, just half an hour ago, I also saw this kind of look in Mu Niangzi, which made people can't help but feel a kind of dazed like an abyss, like a fog.

Xiao Mu smiled coldly again: "It's because I don't know her that I pay special attention to her." The death of a Tu Laosan has no impact on me and the entire Xiangzhou City. Such a scumbag who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, disobeys his mother, and beats his wife, is happy to die. What I care about is the true identity of Mu Niangzi. ”

"She is the younger sister of Mu County Lieutenant and the owner of the Jianghu Inn." I glanced at the silk handkerchief in my hand: "What else can she do?" ”

"What I found out is: Mu Niangzi only recognized Mu County Lieutenant three years ago, when Qin Cha was a county magistrate in Yiling.

Mu Xianwei was originally a native of Yiling, with strong martial arts, and was a ranger in the rivers and lakes. When Qin Cha was still taking the exam in Chang'an, he met Qin Cha. Later, Qin Cha became the commander of Yiling County, and he has been following left and right, and was named the county lieutenant, and this time he came to Xiangzhou with Qin Cha to take office, which can be described as Qin Cha's right-hand man.

Although, Mu Xianwei's mother was robbed by thieves when he was pregnant when he was a child, and he was never seen again until he died of illness, and his father died subsequently. But now, he has a beautiful wife by his side, both children and daughters, and enough slaves and maids in the house...... Even his mother's sister was reunited with him, which is really a big winner in life!

I heard that Qin Cha is dedicated to the public, and he is still alone, with no family around him, no retinue, and not even a maid to serve, only Mu County Lieutenant. Therefore, if someone wants to get close to Qincha, they can only start with Captain Mu. And to deal with Lieutenant Mu, he can only be the sister he has never met. ”

I just feel that the dazzling sun is dazzling, and my head is buzzing, I have been up early today, and I have been busy for most of the day, and now I hear him say so much, it is really indigestible for a while.

I pinched my forehead, looked at Xiao Mu leaning under the trunk, and asked slowly, "You told me so much, what do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Mu shook his fan calmly: "I suspect that Mu Niangzi is the fine work that Tubo planted in Xiangzhou City, and I want to find evidence to find her out." However, Lieutenant Mu firmly believed that she was his own sister and would not let me disturb her, so I could only spy on her secretly.

In the past three months, I have eaten five times in her restaurant and stayed in the guest room once, and I have spent almost all the money on me, but I still haven't gotten anything of value.

Don't you want to be a secret agent? Then let's join forces together, tear her true face, and let Qincha see our ability, and then you are afraid that you won't be able to enter the 'Heavenly Eye'?" Maybe I can also rely on the Qincha and be a petty official. ”
