08 Looking for clues, the old woman broke her mouth
Hearing that the murder weapon was only a kitchen knife, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but feel slightly strange. As the only butcher in Yinshan Village, Butcher Li has all kinds of knives in this kitchen, many of which are specially used to chop bones, and they are hung on such a conspicuous wall, why did the murderer use a kitchen knife to complete the entire act of mutilating the corpse? I think there is only one explanation for this, that is, the murderer is used to using kitchen knives, or he can only use kitchen knives. If so, it is in line with the nickname "human kitchen" given to him by the torture room.
You must know that Xie Yixiang herself is a person who uses knives, although she is used to using them on weekdays, but if she is suddenly asked to use other knives, even including these knives in Butcher Li's kitchen, although she is not handy, she can still use them as usual. Suppose Xie Yixiang wants to chop up the body of a five or six-year-old girl by herself, since there is a special bone chopping knife in front of her, she will not use anything she says. Moreover, the murderer used a kitchen knife to dismember the girl's body at that time, and even the blade had been cut to the edge, no matter how used to the kitchen knife, he should use the bone chopping knife on the wall instead.
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang already had the answer in her heart. In this way, this so-called "human kitchen" is afraid that he has not practiced any knife skills, and he is not a martial arts person, so he knows nothing about knife techniques and even all kinds of knives;
Moreover, these two tolerances also mentioned that this Butcher Li raised more than a dozen pigs in the backyard and specially supplied pork to a restaurant in Shaoxing City, and that there were naturally cooks in the restaurant, who could also have a relationship with Butcher Li. According to this speculation, could it be that the real identity of this "human chef" who has committed three crimes in six years is that he is a cooking cook who has been begging for a living in restaurants all over the world?
However, Xie Yixiang immediately denied her own idea, because following the idea of cooking and cooking deeply, she made the same mistake as Na Yang Zhutou, and regarded the current murder case of Li Butcher's family of three as an independent case, thus ignoring that this case was actually a serial murder case. Whether it is the various knives in Butcher Li's kitchen, or his business dealings with a restaurant in Shaoxing City, these are only unique circumstances of Butcher Li's case, and cannot be judged on this basis, so as to characterize the entire serial murder case, otherwise it would be misguided.
Sure enough, Xie Yixiang asked the two men about this, only to know that Yang Zhutou had suspected that the restaurant that had business dealings with Butcher Li had already led people to search several times, but each time he returned empty-handed, without the slightest gain, and now the suspicion of the restaurant in the city can almost be ruled out. Therefore, if you want to solve this "human kitchen case", you must always return to the commonalities of these three murders, so as to reverse the identity and motive of the murderer. But now it seems that the only common denominator of the three murders is that the three families are still husband and wife with a daughter between the ages of five and seven;
At this time, Xie Yixiang had already investigated the entire murder scene, and because he had been carefully searched by Yang Zhutou's people several times, he did not find any new clues, let alone any traces left by the murderer. At that moment, she left Butcher Li's house, intending to go to the whole village to find out if she could find any other information, and told the two men to stay at Butcher Li's house without having to follow her.
It was said that it was past noon at this time, but it was a sunny day, Xie Yixiang went around the village, and successively asked the villagers about the case, but the locals saw that she was just a little girl, and her face was very ugly. Fortunately, there is a lonely old woman in the village, and her children have moved to Shaoxing City to settle down, and she happened to be eating at home at this time.
Xie Yixiang was already tired and had a dry mouth, and her stomach was also hungry, so she was not polite immediately, so she accompanied the old woman to eat and chat, and asked her about the situation of Butcher Li's family. This old woman lives alone, has always been lonely and widowed, and likes to inquire into the privacy of every household in the village, and her mouth is even more fragmented, stabbing the affairs of Butcher Li's family to the bottom. One moment said that Butcher Li was addicted to gambling and had to go to the village to gamble every night, and then said that Butcher Li's wife did not abide by women's morals, and carried Butcher Li and the descendants of the village on her back, and also said that the daughter of Butcher Li's family was a big ghost and often went to play outside the village. It's all rumors and rumors behind my back, and I don't know if it's true or not. Xie Yixiang had to listen silently in her heart, and buried herself in eating.
The old woman saw that Xie Yixiang was not interested in hearing it, and tried her best to pick some strange things to talk about, but the more she talked about it, the more suspenseful she became. But at the end, there was a sentence that successfully attracted Xie Yixiang's attention, and that was the origin of the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Li Butcher. It turned out that according to the old woman, the daughter of Butcher Li's family was originally fostered in the home of relatives in Shaoxing City, so that she could be familiar with etiquette since she was a child and develop a beautiful lady. It was about a year ago that Butcher Li had a conflict with relatives in the city, so he took his five-year-old daughter back to live at home in Yinshan Village.
Speaking of this, the old woman pretended to be mysterious and said: "There are not a few taels of meat on the whole body of Butcher Li's house, and it doesn't look like a woman who has given birth to a child. And their daughter is now six years old, but six years ago I don't remember Butcher Li's house was bigger than her belly...... According to me, most of them are wild seeds that Butcher Li raised his little mother in Shaoxing City and secretly gave birth to, and Butcher Li's family did not dare to make a noise, and only said that it was his own daughter. ”
Xie Yixiang frowned and pondered, and couldn't help asking: "According to what the mother-in-law said, if Butcher Li's wife really never got pregnant, then is it possible that their six-year-old daughter was adopted from elsewhere?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Zhao! Why didn't I think of it? The people in the village had long suspected that Butcher Li was born with a fat head and big ears, a flat nose and a wide mouth, even if he raised a little mother in the city, he should not have given birth to such a well-behaved daughter!" Little girl, you really woke up the dreamer with a word, it must be that the Li butcher's family can't give birth to a child, so they spent money to buy a daughter from elsewhere and came back, and even kidnapped it back from a family, but told the people in the village that it was their own daughter, but she was fostered in a relative's house in the city since she was a child. ”
