Chapter 228: The Secret Behind the Murder
The portrait of the suspect painted by Ji Chen took a long time to paint.
Because the number of people who saw the suspect was not large, even counting those who saw the back, there were seven people in total.
And these people are simply out of order to describe.
Some people chattered, and after talking for a long time, they could only make sure that they saw the side face of the suspect, but the suspect should have deliberately interfered with everyone and wiped his face like the bottom of a pot.
In the sun, the suspect's eyes were bright, but he could no longer remember the size and shape!
There were also people who were sitting on a small pony picking vegetables, and when the suspect looked up when he passed by, he saw a big chin!
The chin and neck are black! I can barely remember that my face is bulging! I don't know if it's fat or swollen!
There was a head-on bump into it, and only noticed the forehead!
The person has a large bag on the left side of his forehead that looks like a big boil!
Speaking of which, there is not even a unified opinion on the shape of the suspect's face.
As a result, there is no special detail in the descriptions of the people, so it is not smooth when Ji Chen paints.
Ji Tao always felt as if he was a patchwork person, a bit like Zhang San's forehead, Li Si's nose, and Wang Wu's chin...... Such a feeling.
Zhou Huan saw Ji Chen's hard thinking, worried that she was too worried and sad, so he said with concern,
"Why don't you stop drawing, take a break, see if there are any more witnesses, and then we'll continue drawing."
Ji Chen thought about it reasonably, so he put down the pen in his hand with kindness.
But everyone has a common understanding of this suspect: the smell on his body is particularly bad!
It stinks!
Moreover, it is particularly choking!
For example, the person who sat on the pony tie, that is, when the suspect passed by, he smoked his eyes, and when he rubbed it and looked at it again, the object in front of his eyes became a little unclear! It took a while to get better!
When Ji Chen heard this, he looked up at Zhou Huan suspiciously, remembered some detective stories that his cousin had told him before, thought about it seriously, and asked boldly:
"Shizi, did you do it on purpose? Deliberately using this pungent smell to draw people past and ignore other aspects? ”
Zhou Huan thought so.
When I was walking, I suddenly encountered an unbearable smell somewhere, so I held my breath and hurried by, and I couldn't appreciate the picturesque scenery! Not to mention the rush and panic here!
Rui Ting said again,
"This murderer actually moved very quickly, after he stabbed the shopkeeper and his wife to death, the money on the cabinet and the jewel hairpin on the head of the proprietress did not take it, so he escaped, it seems that he is seeking revenge! It's strange to say, but at this time, there was no one else in the store! Originally, there was a guy in the store, and it happened that he got up that morning and had a stomach upset, and he ran to the toilet over and over again, and it took longer and longer each time! Later, the legs were all weak! When he finally came back to the front with his hands on the wall, he saw the shopkeeper and his wife sitting on a stool, and then there was a pool of blood under his body and on the ground! ”
Ji Chen always felt that something was strange, so he asked,
"What do you say?"
ZHOU Huandao,
After the autopsy, the shopkeeper and his wife had several wounds, mainly on the abdomen and inner thighs, but strangely, none of them were fatal. They were actually bleeding to death! ”
Ji Chen's brows were tightly locked,
"There's really no way to explain this, when the murderer suddenly broke in, the first person killed was an accident and was defenseless. Didn't the other one see it? Didn't shout? He doesn't hide when the murderer runs to another person? Don't struggle? Let him cut it, let him kill it? ”
Rui Ting also frowned and said,
"I don't know, in short, there is no trace of struggle between the two of them, as if they are slaughtered by others and let the murderer do whatever he wants."
Ji Xi looked at Zhou Huan,
"Is it a drug?"
Zhou Huan nodded slightly,
"I think the same way, because the two of them have no painful expressions, no panic, no despair, and they seem to be very peaceful!"
Ji Xi remembered in a trance that in his previous life, he had heard people talk about this case in the Hou Mansion of Huai'an.
It is said that the owner's son later accused a relative of the owner's family of killing the owner and his wife.
This relative is said to be his cousin.
Because of the death of her husband, she came to the capital to join her son.
But after coming to the capital, I learned that my son had disappeared a few years ago.
My aunt had nowhere else to go, so she stayed in their home.
The shopkeeper's son said that his aunt had taken care of his cousin in his hometown, and had asked the shopkeeper and his wife to take care of their son who was studying in the capital, but she didn't expect that after she came to the capital, she found that her son was nowhere to be found, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The aunt was heartbroken and asked the shopkeeper and his wife why they were hiding the matter.
The shopkeeper and his wife are rightly authentic,
"We have been sending people to look for it, spending money to deal with the yamen, and the three religions and nine streams, although there has been no good news, but there has been no bad news! We're not afraid that you will take care of your cousin, it will already hurt your spirits, and if you are hit again, it will make it worse! You said that if the two of you are gone, the eldest nephew comes back, but what is good? ”
The shopkeeper's son said that the cousin was still very angry and complained a lot about the shopkeeper and his wife. It must be the aunt who held a grudge and killed the shopkeeper and his wife!
However, at that time, Dali Temple was still an official of the Criminal Department, but during the interrogation, it was found that first, the aunt did not have the time to commit the crime.
Because, when the murderer ran out, Aunt Tang was eating wontons at a wonton stall dozens of meters away from the silk shop, and she planned to go back to the shop after eating the wontons.
Secondly, the wounds on the body of the shopkeeper and his wife were not a weak woman who could have been assassinated in a short time.
What's more, it is impossible for the shopkeeper and his wife to resist and let her succeed.
In addition, the cousin also admitted that she had a hatred for the shopkeeper and his wife, and her son was not killed by the shopkeeper and his wife.
Although she was dissatisfied, it was not to the point of killing.
It is said that the presiding judge later considered the situation and found that the evidence was insufficient, so he sent the cousin back to her hometown.
Unexpectedly, this case in this life fell into the hands of Zhou Huan.
It's just that when Ji Chen listened to Rui Ting and Zhou Huan describe the case now, Ji Chen had a lot of doubts.
For example, why did the shopkeeper and his wife die like this?
At present, it must not be suicide, but how can the shopkeeper and his wife be obediently arrested?
Ji Chen suddenly remembered a case that Ji Jun had told her, so he said,
"Shizi, I remember that my cousin once told me some strange cases. It is said that there are some places or some people who can use some skills, so that people can lose their minds, such as Liu Bisheng of Huai'an Houfu at the beginning. Or obediently at his mercy, like a puppet. There is also a technique or spell, whether it is a spell or a spell, that can confuse people's minds, even if it is extremely painful, not only does he not feel pain, but on the contrary, he may produce some pleasant feelings through this pain, I don't know if it has something to do with it. ”
Ji Chen's eyes were pure and clear, and his tone was smooth and clear, as if Zhou Huan's criminal detectives or arresters were doing ordinary case analysis and narration there.
Zhou Huan's eyes flashed with a hint of relief and amazement, and his heart suddenly seemed to stop secretly, and then jumped up quickly,
"You've thought so much about this case, you're tired, aren't you?"
Ji Chen smiled warmly,
"Fortunately, as long as I can help you and help Dali Temple."
Calmly, the few words of nature turned into a silent warm current that bubbled into Zhou Huan's heart.
Zhou Huan wanted to say something, but saw Ji Xi bend down again to draw a portrait.
Zhou Huan's heart trembled, remembering that someone had suggested that the saint should use Zhu Youshu to hypnotize Ji Xi in order to obtain the secret.
Perhaps, there can be something valuable in this case.
In the private room of the largest restaurant in the capital, "Drunken Flower Yin", Li Fangling and the Ji sisters got together and chatted about the flower appreciation banquet.
Suddenly, I heard a woman's delicate voice outside,
"Your young lady herself is a food seller, and you are still here? Oh, yes, I also know that the things I make can't go up to the table, and I make enough money, so come here to see it, right? ”
Guan Jingqiu!
Ji Yun's face sank suddenly, and Li Fangling and Ji Yan also smiled, very angry.
Listen only to the peony word,
"I said Miss Guan, are you blind? Or are you deaf? Oh! That's right! It's a sore on the stomach and pus on the back of the neck! To tell the truth, since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors and five emperors to the present, there are fools every year, and today you are the only one! Are you here for dinner, or are you here to smoke? ”
Li Fangling found that Peony's words must be listened carefully and listen carefully, otherwise it is true, she will not be able to keep up with Peony's train of thought!
Guan Jingqiu was angry,
"You girl is really lawless, come on, slap your mouth!"
"Smack!" The door was pushed open heavily, and the three of Ji Jun appeared at the door.
Guan Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said to the maid beside her,
"Do it!"
When the maid heard this, she stepped forward and raised her hand to fight!
Ji Chen's heart was shocked!
This maid is the tall and strong maid with a snake in her hand that she met in Chen Guogong's mansion!
This is the enemy meeting each other, and they are very red-eyed, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge!
I saw that the peony was not flustered, her body squatted, and her palm fell short!
Where is the maid willing to stop, reach out to grab the peony, and the peony reaches out to block it!
Just listen to the girl's "oh" voice, and take a few steps back!
Everyone looked at it, okay!
A bloody hand!
Rows of little wolf fangs on Peony's arm!
People have wrist pads, elbow pads, this peony, and put all the two arms with wolf tooth thorns!
Cut! At the beginning, we didn't prepare, and we all got you Guan Jingqiu to the bottom of the well.
This time, you don't think there is a well, aren't you?
Ji Jun shook his head when he saw it!
smiled innocently and said to Guan Jingqiu,
"Miss Guan, tell me about you, can you think of something positive? For example, cultivate a high-yield grain so that everyone in the world can eat enough! Or, come up with an object that can automatically sew the cloth on, so that the sisters of the world will not be so dizzy with a needle and thread, sewing day and night. If you can solve these two things, I admire you! But, look at you now, my maids look down on you! Bah! Lose face! ”
