Chapter 181: Identifying the corpse
After a while, there was a huge crowd of people, most of whom were in charge of the park. There are also a few that are played in the park. The arrested people saw it and brought it with them.
When the people in charge of the park heard that there was a murder here, they were all frightened, as if they were afraid of taking some responsibility.
The prefect looked around at these people and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, this mansion asked you to come, just to see if anyone knows the female corpse?"
The men were stunned, and they stepped forward together, and the two catchers stood next to the woman's corpse. After these people saw it, they all had frightened looks on their faces. Then, shaking his head, he said he had never seen the woman. Just when everyone was already disappointed and was about to expand the scope to find someone to identify the body, suddenly, a woman's voice exclaimed: "Isn't this Qiao Jinzhi, the daughter-in-law who has been missing from Wang Erxiao's family for six days?"
The prefect was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally someone knew this female corpse. He turned his head and saw an old woman in her fifties, with a big belly, like a pot-bellied woman who was ten months pregnant. However, looking at her two-pound old face with Liangshan's white powder, it is estimated that she will not be able to give birth to a baby.
"This fellow, do you know this female corpse?"
The old woman nodded, the look on her face looking panicked and frightened. She said: "This woman is the wife of Wang Xiaoer, our neighbor. A few days ago, Wang Xiaoer said that his wife eloped with someone else, and he took a few friends to Qiao Jinzhi's house to make trouble. Qiao Jinzhi's parents can't contact their daughter, and Wang Xiaoer's daily trouble, now he is so angry that he is sick in bed. We all thought that Qiao Jinzhi really eloped with a wild man? Unexpectedly, she was strangled to death and thrown here. ”
Hearing that the female corpse was confirmed, the prefect and the little fat man both breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the source of the corpse has been found, the next step of investigation will be carried out. So, the prefect ordered: "All idle people, etc., should stay away from the park." Jin Buran, Jin Bufu, the two of you, follow this eldest sister and summon Wang Xiaoer over for questioning. ”
"Yes!" the two Jin brothers took the order and walked after the eldest sister. This eldest sister has a bloated demeanor, not inferior to the little fat man, and she walks step by step, and she hasn't gone far for half a day. The two Jin brothers who followed her were miserable, remembering in their hearts that there was no way, but there was nothing to do.
The crowd of onlookers was also dismissed by the crowd, leaving only the director of Kashiwa Park, a man in his forties with a big nose and small eyes. The rest of the park was ordered to stay in the park dormitory and not to leave. If you have any questions, you can summon them at any time for questioning.
The sun slowly rose up the sky and began to shine on the earth with its scorching radiance. The little oriole on the branch of the tree, like a little eunuch who had seen the emperor, screamed excitedly. The north wind was gentle, stirring the surface of the lake with layers of ripples.
When the body was first fished out, it didn't feel like anything. After a while, gradually, a peculiar smell came out. Got into the noses of these people and made them all feel sick. If you are exposed to the sun like this, I am afraid that it will rot and mold in a short time.
The prefect looked at the dead female corpse, frowned, and he ordered: "Come, go find some wood and build a canopy for the female corpse!"
"Yes!" a few catchers immediately took the order.
He instructed the adults to look up at the sun in the sky, and said to the little fat man, "Little fat man, let's go and wait in the pavilion over there!"
"Okay. The little fat man answered, followed behind the prefect, and walked towards the pavilion.
This pavilion was not far from the corpse, an octagonal pavilion near the lake. There are also three big characters written on the pavilion "Moon Reflecting Pavilion", probably because in the pavilion here, you can see the shadow of the moon reflected in the water at night. That's why it's called "Moon Pavilion".
The little fat man and the prefect found a clean place to sit down, and now, the identity of the little fat man is no longer what it used to be. He is a big celebrity in front of the prince, to put it bluntly, the prefect now has to look at the face of the little fat man. After the two of them were done, they quickly stood around the Yingyue Pavilion and supervised the people to build a canopy for Qiao Jinzhi's corpse.
A large number of people is a great strength, and after a while, the canopy will be built. It is four bamboo poles, and it is covered with a large colorful cloth. The bamboo pole was picked up from the park and cut a few evenly thick, and the park director couldn't stand it when he saw the colorful cloth on it. This cloth was just torn off the curtain by his wife to wash it, but he didn't expect to be arrested and quickly found to make a corpse cloth. It's good now, borrow a hundred guts from him, and don't dare to use this curtain again in the future.
The frog in the lake worked overtime until there were so many people standing on the shore, excitedly playing with his singing voice, as if he wanted to find a Bole and enjoy his own beautiful music. Finally, one of the "Bole" catchers walked over to the frog, and the frog was ecstatic and sang even harder. This "Bole" catches fast and looks at the water obsessively, as if looking for the figure of this frog "singer". Later, he seemed to have found the frog's location. I saw this "Bole" catch quickly and slowly bent down and grabbed something from the ground. This thing turned out to be a rock block with clear water chestnut angles.
Grab the rock and smash it at the frog. I only heard a "poof" sound, and the stone with clear water chestnut angles seemed to be incarnated into a sensitively perceptual lifeform. It pushed the wave away, like a loach that lived in this lake all year round, and smashed it hard beside the frog with a wonderful posture.
"Quack......" The frog was startled, and he took a leap, not knowing where to hide. Without the nagging of frogs, the world became quiet.
Time flies so slowly, about the time of two pillars of incense, and I haven't seen the Jin brothers and the fat sister-in-law rush back. These catchers are a little impatient to wait, for so long, energetic people, enough to be able to be a daughter-in-law hey/hey twice.
While everyone was waiting impatiently, I finally saw a few figures walking from the gate of the park. The Kim brothers are old acquaintances, so naturally there is no need to say more. The fat sister-in-law, when she walked up, her face was covered with sweat and panting, as if she had been taken by twenty fierce men in turn. Of course, there are really these fierce men, I don't know if I can still be vigorous when I see this sister-in-law's "beautiful shadow".
When the sister-in-law walked, her muscles seemed to tremble, including the jade balls on her chest. Perhaps, it is quite inappropriate to use jade balls to describe this sister-in-law. Perhaps, it is more practical to use the hanging bell of the ancient temple to describe the sister-in-law's pectoral muscles that have long been sagging.
In front of this fat sister-in-law, there was also a man standing. This man is in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although his eyebrows were thick, they were thick and scattered, as if they were those playful children who were casually tied up. His eyes were large, but they were godless. In the eyes, you can see bloodshots, like old zombies who haven't slept for many years. When he came, he had a frightened look on his face, and he looked around from time to time, and he didn't look like a man who kept to himself.
Jin Buyan walked up to the prefect and the little fat man, and he clasped his fists at the prefect and said, "Report to the prefect, Wang Xiaoer bring it!"
The prefect nodded, and said majestically: "Wait for Wang Xiaoer to come over." ”
Because the female corpse was parked, it was inconvenient to go back to the yamen, so an open-air temporary public hall was set up in this Bairen Park.
The man in front of Jin Bufu hurriedly walked to the small pavilion where the prefect was standing. The prefect and the little fat man are in the pavilion, and the boy is outside the pavilion. He bent his legs on his knees, knelt on the irregular ground path paved with countless cobblestones, threw his hands on the ground, and said in a slightly panicked voice: "Xiaoer, the king of the grass people, knock to see the prefect!"
The prefect glanced at Wang Xiaoer, who was kneeling outside the pavilion, his body trembling slightly, and said, "Wang Xiaoer, I heard that your daughter-in-law is missing, why didn't you come to the county government to report the case?"
Wang Xiaoer raised his head and said with a wince: "Report to the lord, the villain's daughter-in-law eloped with a foreigner." I think it's ugly, so it's not good to publicize it!"
The prefect didn't know if Wang Xiaoer was telling the truth, so he said to him: "Wang Xiaoer, today we found a female corpse strangled to death in the park lake. Look over there and see if it's your daughter-in-law?"
Wang Xiaoer followed the prefect's finger in fear and looked at the canopy with the colorful curtain. When he saw the eerie and terrifying eyes of the female corpse, which he couldn't bare until death, his body involuntarily shivered, and a look of fear appeared on his face. Immediately, Wang Xiaoer made a heartbroken look, threw himself next to the female corpse in a few steps, beat the female corpse's chest, and cried bitterly: "Daughter-in-law, why are you so miserable! Ran away with a foreigner, and let him kill you here! If there is an afterlife, let's be a human being!" As he spoke, Wang Xiaoer patted Qiao Jinzhi's corpse sadly, as if he wanted to wake her up, or call her soul back.
The prefect was worried that this Wang Xiaoer would destroy the scene, and immediately shouted: "Pull him back!"
"Yes!" The two catchers quickly took the order, and when they reached the heartbroken Wang Xiaoer, they pulled him away from the female corpse, and the two catchers dragged Wang Xiaoer to the prefect like dragging a dead dog. Wang Xiaoer knelt in front of the prefect and cried bitterly.
"Wang Xiaoer, is this female corpse your daughter-in-law?" the prefect asked loudly.
Wang Xiaoer cried and said, "Back to my lord, she is my daughter-in-law Qiao Jinzhi who eloped with someone!"
