Datang Coroner

Chapter 2096 There is nothing wrong
There is nothing wrong with Cui Bei's logic.

Even if the nameless old woman was not his mother, but if Wu Daxin had something to do with the old woman's death, then Wu Daxin still killed someone.

So it cannot be considered irresponsible.

Wu Daxin's reaction was like a cat that stepped on its tail, almost jumping up, very excited: "Then according to what you said, you still acted bravely? Is it necessary to shoot you a red flag?"

Cui Bei whispered: "That's not necessary."

Wu Daxin was so angry that he almost fainted.

It was obviously a serious and sad scene, but the way these two people talked made Fu Shiyi almost laugh: this is so...

Before Wu Daxin quarreled, Li Changbo asked a key question: "Jade pendant, what jade pendant?"

Cui Bei hurriedly explained: "It was the jade pendant that was sent over when I reported the case, and it has been handed over to the Yamen. That jade pendant was found on the old woman. At that time, I thought it belonged to my old lady, but I had never seen it before. , and put it in a coffin for burial."

"That is to say, I was about to be buried, and everyone went to see the jade pendant for the last time. That's why my friend saw this jade pendant and asked privately what was going on. He had seen the jade pendant on Wu Daxin before."

"Combined with the red marks on the old woman's neck, we became suspicious."

Cui Bei glanced at Wu Daxin, and drooped again: "Then I led people to ask for an explanation. Unexpectedly, people were killed. I really didn't do it on purpose."

When Li Changbo talked about this matter, he also had a slight headache: "Why didn't you report the case immediately?"

Cui Bei muttered and faltered for a long time before saying, "Forgot."

This reason must be false.

Everyone understood that Cui Bei wanted to see if he could be private before reporting the crime.Or beat Wu Daxin.

Because after reporting the case, he would definitely not be able to beat Wu Daxin again, or take the initiative to ask for something, it would depend on the county magistrate's sentence.

Li Changbo didn't pursue this matter either, and only asked Cui Bei, "Who is that friend you mentioned?"

"Ji Shi." Cui Bei was stunned for a moment before remembering to answer: "This matter has nothing to do with him, right? He just recognized the jade pendant."

As soon as the name was mentioned, Wu Daxin was still very excited and retorted loudly: "Why is it okay?"

Fu Shiyi:? ? ?Do you feel that Ji Li has something to do with Wu Daxin?

Li Changbo also looked at Wu Daxin.

Wu Daxin said angrily: "Ji blamed him to deliberately sow dissension! I have lost that jade pendant for a long time, what can a jade pendant mean? Is it okay to pick it up by accident? Could it be that she stole it?"

Cui Bei was speechless, drooping his head and whispering to himself: "That's not the case..."

Even when he said this himself, he clearly had no confidence.

Li Changbo looked at the two of them like this, and only asked, "Where is Ji's responsibility?"

Cui Bei was bewildered.

Wu Daxin said loudly: "His house is next door to mine! He also runs a grain store!"

Everyone looked at Wu Daxin's angry look, and instantly understood who this Ji Zhe was.

Probably the one who competed with Wu Daxin, Cui Bei's friend...

Li Changbo sent someone to summon Ji Zhe.

Next, he asked about the old woman.He asked Cui Bei, "How was the body found? Where was it found?"

Cui Bei sighed: "It was discovered by Liu Niu, the cow herder in my family. He, Aye, also herded cattle for me. It wasn't long before he took over this matter. Two days ago, he went to the river to bathe the cows. body found."

"Didn't my old lady get lost at that time? He just remembered this matter, and he was about the same age, so he recited it back and let me see if it was right. In the end, I admitted my mistake." Cui Bei sighed again.

And thinking of his old mother, he was even more sad, wanting to cry but not crying.

Cui Bei felt that if this trouble hadn't happened, maybe his wife would have been found long ago.

But now it has been so many days, how can an old and frail person survive outside?I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

"By the river?" Li Changbo raised his eyebrows: "Where is the upper reaches of the river? Is there a village?"

Cui Bei held back his sadness and replied: "That river is the only big river in the town. Coming from the town, there are villages and farmlands along the road. The water is not very urgent. Only when it rains heavily will it rise a little bit. The flow is quicker. It is usually peaceful, and it is rare to hear of people drowning."

Wu Daxin also said: "The source of the river is branched from other big rivers, and it just passes through the town. Many people wash clothes in it and so on. Every year, a few drowned, all of them ignorant children .”

Li Changbo pondered for a moment: "Is the river chief?"

Wu Daxin nodded: "It's quite long. In addition to our town, there is another town below, which also relies on this river."

Fu Shiyi asked softly, "Does the river have many bends?"

If it is a straight river, the corpse has been washed in the river for two days, and the distance moved in the middle is very long.

But the old woman has Wu Daxin's jade pendant on her body, so she will not be far away from the town no matter how you look at it.If there is no curve and the corpse is stranded, then the time for throwing the corpse should be considered.

Cui Bei explained: "There is a big bend, where many people are fishing for wood and other things. If something floats down in the upper reaches, it will definitely get stuck there. Every time the water rises, there will be a lot of wood, vegetables, dead pigs and chickens." Everything is stuck there."

Wu Daxin also nodded: "Many people have made a fortune by fishing for things. If someone drowns in the upper reaches, most of them will be found there."

Fu Shi nodded, and exchanged glances with Li Changbo: In this case, it is reasonable for the corpse to be soaked in the water for so long but not to go too far.

And in this way, she had every reason to suspect that the body had been dumped near the town.

Li Changbo asked about Wu Daxin's jade pendant: "When did you lose your jade pendant? How did you lose it?"

Wu Daxin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I lost it for seven or eight days. I don't know exactly when I lost it. I only discovered it when I went back to take off my clothes at night."

"I think it was either stolen, or it was dropped and picked up." Wu Daxin sighed: "This jade pendant is still handed down from my ancestors. I used to wear it every day before, so everyone who knows me knows it." This jade pendant."

He said sincerely to Li Changbo: "If I killed someone, how could I leave such an important thing on the body? It's unreasonable."

This statement sounds reasonable.

It is indeed impossible for such an important thing to remain on the corpse.

However, although Li Changbo nodded, indicating that he had listened, he turned his head and asked Cui Bei: "How did you find the jade pendant? Where was the jade pendant when you found it?"

Anyone who is familiar with Li Changbo knows that when he asks this question, it is clear that he does not believe Wu Daxin's words.

　Two days ago, I thought happily that I didn't catch a cold during the Chinese New Year this year.Good guy feeling top-heavy today with a stuffy nose.I really can't talk about this matter.
