Chapter 35 Resentment
"Dare you ask who found the woman's body? If you are here, please call us up." Zhao Rong asked in the crowd, and there were some details he wanted to figure out.
Wang Yuan and Wu Qian interrogated the crowd for a while. After a while, Wang Yuan brought a young man forward and said, "Zhuzi, come here, sir, have something to ask you."
Wu Qian also echoed, "Let me tell the Lord one by one about how you find the body."
Zhuzi responded repeatedly, not daring to look up, and said in fear: "The young man makes a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. Today, the young man gets up. When he passes here, he sees the doors of this abandoned house open. I feel a little confused at that time, because the house has been abandoned and uninhabited for a long time, so why did the doors and windows suddenly open?"
"Xiao was confused. Because of curiosity, she looked at the door and vaguely saw a mass of objects in the grass in the yard. When she walked closer, she turned out to be a person. Because Xiao was brave and had never been scared. She called out a few times, but she was a little more suspicious and thought to herself: Could it be that a dead person is dead? Xiao borrowed the courage of a tiger and leopard, and went up. After a closer look, she found that it was Liu's death!"
Zhao Rong asked again, "Do you know this woman?"
Zhuzi thought Zhao Rong suspected him and quickly defended himself, "It's more than a small person to know her? Ninety-nine neighbors here recognize her."
Zhao Rong nodded and asked subconsciously, "Have you ever touched the body?"
Zhuzi kept shook his head, "Liu's reputation is so bad, and he died suddenly in this abandoned house. He was so scared that he was always afraid at that time, so how could he touch him?"
Seeing that Zhao Rong could not ask for any useful information, he waved his hand and asked Zhuzi to retreat.
At this time, Wu Qian bowed his head and asked, "What are the great opinions of sir? The death of this woman..."
Zhao Rong said: "According to Zhuzi's words, and the coroner's inspection, the woman obviously died last night. There were obvious pinching marks on her body and neck, and she should have been strangled to death by someone."
When everyone heard this, they felt a trembling, obviously they were shocked by the murderer's cruel method.
At this time, Zhao Rong felt even more that a brave and cruel murderer should not be an ordinary person, because ordinary people cannot kill people so fiercely.
Seeing that there was no clue for the case, Zhao Rong asked everyone to disperse first. When the idle people were withdrawn, he ordered Xing Daye and Wei Que, "I feel that this case is not that simple. In this way, Lao Xing, you have worked hard. After the brothers come, you can take people to check nearby and see if you can ask any new clues."
After giving instructions to Lao Xing, Zhao Rong pulled Wei Que to the yard to look at it.
At this time, Wei Que was full of doubts. He looked at Zhao Rong and looked around, so he asked in confusion, "Sir, this is probably an ordinary murder..."
Before Wei Que could finish his speech, Zhao Rong interrupted his words, "There are many strange things in this case, and it may be an unusual murder."
Wei Que hurriedly asked about the reason.
Zhao Rong said: "You can look up."
Wei Que was puzzled and raised his feet to visit him. The edge of his shoes was covered with mud, because there was some mud in the yard, and there was nothing strange about it.
Seeing that Wei Que's eyes were becoming more and more confused, Zhao Rong stopped playing hide-and-seek with him, pointing to the sole of his shoes and said, "According to Zhuzi's words, Liu's family should have been killed in this abandoned house, but there were no traces in the house or outside the house. This is one of the doubts. Moreover, Liu's body was found in the courtyard, but there were several places in the yard that had not dried up, and there were also a lot of dew and mud stains in the grass. However, although Liu's clothes were messy and broken, there was no trace of water and mud stains. What did you think this was the reason?"
Wei Que was puzzled and shook his head and asked, "Why?"
Zhao Rong had to patiently say to him, "It's just because Liu did not die in this abandoned house, but had another place, that's why I said there are many strange things in this case and it shouldn't be closed in a hurry."
Wei Que was surprised and said, "In the opinion of the great man, the murderer actually killed Liu in another place, and then took advantage of the night to carry the corpse here, intending to mislead people's sight?"
Zhao Rong said: "That's right, the murderer carried the corpse on his shoulders, so his corpse was clean. The murderer must be a strong man and familiar with the geography of Dongcheng, otherwise he would not have found this abandoned house."
Wei Que said: "In this way, this case is not complicated and complicated."
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "How can I see it?"
Wei Que analyzed with a straight face and said in a pretty good manner: "I think this murderer must be someone familiar to Liu. There may be a grudge, aggravation, or a conflict between the two. This is one. Second, the deceased has a sachet in his hand. Why the dying person holds this object tightly must be related. I guess it was because Liu had struggled with all his strength before he was killed and accidentally grabbed the murderer's body."
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "According to what you say, just find the owner of this sachet and you will know who is the real murderer?"
Wei Que was a little complacent, "That's it."
Zhao Rong was stunned and smiled, "It's reasonable. Why don't you solve this case?"
Wei Que also heard that Zhao Rong was playing tricks on him at this time, and he was a little embarrassed. However, at this time, Wei Que was also a little confused. He wanted to see how Zhao Rong would find the murderer.
Since there were no clues in the yard, Zhao Rong thought to go to the Liu family to take a look. He thought to himself, maybe he could find something in the Liu family.
Zhao Rong found a vendor who knew the way to guide him and came to Liu's house on his own.
After walking around several families and coming to a courtyard, the vendor pointed to the small courtyard and said, "Sir, this is the Liu family."
Zhao Rong thanked the vendor, but saw bamboo fences and tiled houses, wooden doors were half-closed, chickens crowed and dogs barked. There was a pond in front of the house, duckweed was dotted, three or four shed willow trees beside the shore, ducks and geese and ducks were swimming under the willow branches, and a pole of clothes was drying under the tree.
Zhao Rong asked Wei Que to come forward and call the door. Wei Que called again and again, and an old woman walked out with a cane. The old woman's temples were gray, with silver silk threads and a plain face. She asked Wei Que for it.
Wei Que was stunned and thought to himself, why is this old woman the mother-in-law of Liu? Could it be that the vendor was unable to deceive him? Or is the old woman not knowing that her daughter-in-law died at all? Or is the person Wu Qian called him never passed the words to the old woman? Otherwise, why would this old woman be so dull and peaceful?
With doubts in his heart, Wei Que pointed out his purpose, "Grandma, is this Liu's home?"
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, the old woman's face changed drastically and she said angrily: "Look at your clothes, how can you do anything to hook up with a woman? Go quickly, there is nothing Liu you are looking for here!"
It turned out that the old man misunderstood.
Wei Que quickly defended, "Grandma is wrong. Can grandma know where his daughter-in-law Liu is now?"
But the old woman still said angrily, "Hmph! Where is this bitch now and what does it have to do with the old man?"
Wei Que asked again, "Madam hasn't known that your daughter-in-law Liu is dead?"
The old woman smiled coldly and said, "What does she have to do with her death or not? What does she have to do with you?"
Wei Que was a little angry, "Why did grandma say this? Liu is still a member of your family and your daughter-in-law, no matter what," he said.
Unexpectedly, the old woman was even more angry than Wei Que. "This bitch in my house ruined my reputation and insulted my ancestors. It is really a shame in my family. If she dies today, it is also a cycle of heaven and cause and effect." The old woman gritted her teeth, and poked the wooden stick in her hand, making a bang. Seeing this, she must have been resentful to her daughter-in-law Liu for a long time.
