Chapter 79: The Corpse in the Retting Pond (6)
Lu Yaoyang winked and asked the yamen runner who was listening to the essence and fun stayed to stay with Zhang Mazi. He pushed the "ruthless" wheelchair and walked into the yard. This was the first time Lu Yaoyang helped "ruthless" push the wheelchair, and "ruthless" was pushed by Lu Yaoyang for the first time. Both of them felt a little awkward. "ruthless" twisted his body in the wheelchair twice, then calmed down, picked up the book and flipped it slowly.
Pushing "Wuqing" to the place where Zhang Mazi couldn't hear them talking, Lu Yaoyang turned to "Wuqing" and said: "Zhang Mazi's house is not the first crime scene. The pig-killing knife and the murderous knife are also different. There is no direct evidence to prove that Zhang Mazi is the murderer. What about your judgment."
"Wuqing" continued to flip through the book and slowly looked at it. Lu Yaoyang felt that it might be a waste of time this time, so he was going to try to continue to communicate with "Wuqing". Unexpectedly, although "Wuqing" was still looking at the book, he began to answer Lu Yaoyang's questions.
The words of 'ruthless' were plain and volatile. Although the sound was crisp, it was not emotional at all: "It was true that he said he didn't kill. I felt that he was afraid of getting involved with Guan Fei, so he told a lie." 'ruthless''s response to Lu Yaoyang made Lu Yaoyang feel flattered. He thought to himself: "This person is really cheap. If someone has been treating you well, you will definitely not feel very happy. But if someone has been ignoring you and suddenly starts to pay attention to you, you will be very moved and happy. I used to sniff out this statement, but I didn't expect even myself to be like this."
However, Lu Yaoyang also hoped that "Wuqing" could give him more clues, because Zhang Mazi might be the last person to meet Liang Er before he was killed. As long as he could dig out any details of his encounter that day, he might help him solve the case. But unexpectedly, "Wuqing" would use these two sentences to pass on it.
Lu Yaoyang said: "It's gone like that, are there any specific things?"
"Relaxless" said quietly: "The human heart is the most elusive. Even I cannot grasp my heart, let alone me. I can only slightly feel the strongest fluctuations in my thoughts."
Lu Yaoyang said, "Then why is the rumor of the 'Shenhou Mansion' so popular? It is said that as long as you have seen it, you will be clear about the bad things you did when you were a child. Since you don't have that supernatural power, you should explain it to them clearly."
"Relaxed" did not answer. Lu Yaoyang turned around and thought: "This matter is really hard to explain. The suspicion and doubt in people's hearts will continue to cause trouble. Since you can see some of the activities in other people's hearts, no matter how much you can see, it will not be a pleasant experience for that person. Take yourself as an example. If it weren't for the 'shuttle' that guaranteed 'ruthless' that would definitely not be able to detect your inner activities. Can you talk to 'ruthless' so peacefully? The answer is no. You will definitely avoid her, which is also the reason why 'ruthless' is always so lonely."
Lu Yaoyang thought for a while and said, "No matter what, let's take Zhang Mazi back to the 'Shenhou Mansion'. After all, he may be the last person Liang Ermun met before he was killed. Let him recall all the details of meeting Liang Ermun, which may be the key to our solving the case."
"Wuqing" was still flipping through the book. Lu Yaoyang thought, this was probably expressing his agreement. He was about to push "Wuqing" back to the hall of the main room. The gate of the courtyard was suddenly knocked open, and the six doors of the Captain Liu led a group of detectives and yamen runners in. Seeing Lu Yaoyang in the courtyard, he hurried up to say hello and said, "'Judge', have you found out here too?"
Lu Yaoyang said in confusion: "Captain Liu, you guys are..."
Captain Liu was very excited and said, "Thanks to the clues you provided by the 'judge', we found out the identity of the deceased overnight. He was a gangster from Liangjiaji, named Liang Erhun. He was involved in the 'Liangjiaji' and was specifically cheating and extorting. According to the time of death you provided, someone saw Liang Erhun quarreling with Zhang Mazi that day. The blacksmith shop in the town also confirmed that the 'murder weapon' you drew was exactly what they created for Zhang Mazi."
Lu Yaoyang said in confusion: "Why are they so sure that the knife must be Zhang Mazi's? I think all the pig-killing swords are similar."
Captain Liu said: "In order to demonstrate his own craftsmanship, every blacksmith shop will secretly put signs that only he knows on the custom-made utensils for customers. In addition, each guest will slightly change the customized iron tools according to different habits, and Zhang Mazi's is no exception. It is through these two points that the weapon you draw is the pig-killing knife they created for Zhang Mazi."
At this time, a detective had already dragged out Zhang Mazi who was lying on the ground. Someone also got the pig-killing knife and handed it to Captain Liu. Captain Liu said in surprise: "The 'judge' is OK. Look, the painting is exactly the same as the original. Now there is a complete set of evidence and evidence. Then we will leave first, and there is still a lot of things to do at the end. When this matter is over, I will invite you to express your gratitude."
Lu Yaoyang stared blankly at them and took Zhang Mazi away. Zhang Mazi's miserable call and desperate eyes made him very worried. He knew the current methods of interrogation. If Zhang Mazi dared not admit it, the people from the Six Gates would definitely hit him until he admitted it. Lu Yaoyang was anxiously paced back and forth in the courtyard, thinking: "Whether it is himself or 'ruthless', the inference that Zhang Mazi is not the murderer is not the one. How can he help Zhang Mazi escape from the crime?"
Just seeing the 'ruthless' on one side, the noisy environment just now, she didn't look up and watch it, but just flipped through the book silently and read it carefully. Lu Yaoyang's heart was hooked up suddenly and said loudly: "You are still interested in reading books. Zhang Mazi was wronged. You and I know this, but he is likely to be convicted. Such an unfair thing happened in front of us, and you were indifferent."
Lu Yaoyang just vented the depression in his heart, but he didn't really have any objections to "ruthless". He knew that "ruthless" tended to be autistic and could not understand her thoughts based on the principles of ordinary people. But he didn't expect that "ruthless" actually responded to him, and still said in a plain voice: "There are far more unfair things in this world than fair things. Are you not used to it?"
Lu Yaoyang said curiously: "Then you work hard to solve the case, isn't it just to uphold justice?"
"I am interested, I like the feeling of solving puzzles. Who can guarantee that I will always stand on the side of justice? Therefore, I never pursue justice."
Lu Yaoyang rarely heard what "Wuqing" said in his heart. In fact, this is because "Wuqing" also wants to pass on some of his own ideas to his own kind. She also needs someone to listen to her ideas. But in the past, she tried hard to get close to the crowd and integrate into the crowd, but she got disappointment. People were just using her supernatural powers to do things. Rather than treating her as a human being, it would be better to treat her as a tool. After the matter, she still avoided her and avoided her. In the end, she was almost desperate.
She had to close herself and not let anyone get close to her. In the end, even if someone wanted to communicate with her sincerely, she was unwilling to do so. She almost stubbornly believed that she was different from them, so she could never integrate into them. So she built a thick shell for herself with books and hid herself in it to avoid the troubles in the world. However, Lu Yaoyang was different, and "ruthless" believed that Lu Yaoyang was the same as himself, so there was no barrier between them.
When Lu Yaoyang heard the cold reply from "Relaxed", he was not surprised. He thought to himself: "It seems that the tragic experience of childhood has always been resentful. When she was adopted and needed comfort from others the most, her supernatural powers blocked everyone's concern for her, and she was isolated again. So she felt abandoned by this world, and then she began to build her inner world with a lot of sadness. She must have felt that 'Since this world does not need me, I'll be immersed in my inner world'. That's why she closed her own." Now Lu Yaoyang recalled the empty eyes of "Relaxed", and there was an indescribable desolation. What kind of despair was that it showed such an empty eyes.
But Lu Yaoyang could not be indifferent to Zhang Mazi's affairs, not to mention that it was related to his points. So he said: "I can't control what happened elsewhere, but I must control what I can. Let's go back to the 'Shenhou Mansion' immediately to find Uncle Shi to think of a solution."
"Wuqing" said nothing about his words, so he continued to read her book. Lu Yaoyang could only helplessly push her to the carriage and let her return to the car by herself. Then he hurried back to the "Shenhou Mansion".
