The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 83 The dead don’t lie ([-]st update)
This search result can be said to be very unsatisfactory.

Deng Youwei's face suddenly darkened, and even Xiao Yi couldn't help but frown.

Chen Hu on the side quickly asked: "What about Wang Mazi and Chen Chaozi? Have you noticed anything fishy about them?"

The officer said: "Wang Mazi, whose name is Wang Daji, is twenty-two this year. He had a serious illness when he was a child. After he recovered, his face was covered with pockmarks. People around him disliked him very much.

Chen Xiaozi, whose name is Chen Xunchuan, is [-] years old this year. He has been short since he was a child. Even as an adult, he is shorter than ordinary women.

During the inquiry process, the subordinates would intentionally or unintentionally ask other people about their impressions of them. Their opinions were similar to Madam Ye’s. They said that both of them were weird and withdrawn, and that the women in the village would turn around when they saw them. Way to go.

However, that afternoon, no one in the village said they saw them walking towards the mountains and forests. When his subordinates asked about the two of them, Wang Daji said that he was lazy and sleeping at home that afternoon, and there was only one person left in Wang Daji's home. Old mother, his old mother was very diligent and went to work in the fields before dawn every day, so she didn't know whether what Wang Daji said was true.

But according to Wang Daji's neighbors, Wang Daji is very indolent, and it is common for him to hide and be lazy.

Chen Xunchuan said that he went to the mountain to cut some firewood that morning, took it to the county in the afternoon and sold it to a restaurant that had been cooperating with him in the county. His subordinates immediately sent someone to the restaurant to find someone to confirm. The restaurant said that Chen Xunchuan said that that day He did come in the afternoon, but he didn't see him until around Shen Shizheng (four o'clock in the afternoon). "

Xiaoxi Village is not far from the county seat. You can get there in about two-quarters of an hour by horse or donkey cart.

Zhuo Yuting was killed shortly after noon. If the murderer was Chen Xunchuan, he could have killed the person and then sold the firewood to the county.

This shows that neither of these two people had a very strong alibi when Zhuo Yuting was murdered.

However, there is no evidence that they are related to this case.

Xu Jing was not sitting next to Xiao Yi and the others, so she did not hear clearly what the officer said. However, it could be known from the faces of Xiao Yi and the others that the progress of the investigation was not very satisfactory.

If it continues like this, it will get completely dark.

Xu Jing pondered for a moment and winked at Chen Hu. Chen Hu immediately walked to her side. After hearing Xu Jing say a few words, he looked at Xiao Yi and Deng Youwei with a strange look on his face.

Immediately, he pushed Xu Jing out of the yard, walked to Xiao Yi and Deng Youwei and said: "Shilang Xiao, County Magistrate Deng, Madam Xu said that she has a way to find the murderer, but she doesn't know if the two of them are willing to do it together. try."

Deng Youwei, who was originally stuck in a bottleneck due to the circumstances of the case, suddenly brightened up and said: "If, if there is a way to find the murderer, there is no reason not to give it a try!"

Xiao Yi, who knew Xu Jing better, was silent for a moment.

He knew that the woman was not an imprudent person. If it was an ordinary method, she would have said it directly without adding "I wonder if they are willing to give it a try."

She would say this because she was afraid that this was not a serious approach, but rather opportunistic.

But when all the clues are cut off, opportunism is not a bad idea. Xiao Yi has never been a stickler for rules. On the contrary, he knows very well what is the most important for a thing.

He nodded and said, "Just go over there."

He took the lead and walked towards the door.

They first briefly told Xu Jing the results of the search, which was pretty much what Xu Jing thought. After they finished talking, Xu Jing said: "I have a method. If everything goes well, we can find the real murderer tonight, but this method has It's a bit of a gamble. If we can't succeed at the first time, it's likely that people related to the case will gain insight into our intentions and build stronger defenses."

Deng Youwei was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

Madam Xu's words are clearly saying that if they can't succeed at once, it will be even harder to find the real culprit!
Xiao Yi's expression was as normal as ever: "Mrs. Xu, please speak." After hearing Xu Jing's words, several people in front of him were stunned for a moment. Chen Hu couldn't help but said: "This method is indeed feasible, but... but what if that person doesn't take the bait? ?”

Xu Jing said softly: "Judging from the condition of the deceased's body, the death of Mrs. Zhuo was obviously beyond that person's expectation. This incident must have had a great impact on him, otherwise he would not have left such a It's an obvious flaw, and I think there's a high chance that the person will take the bait.

Of course, it's up to you whether you want to use that method or not. "

Xiao Yi glanced at Xu Jing and said, "I think you can give it a try."

Deng Youwei originally had a troubled look on his face, but when he saw what Xiao Yi had said, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do what Mrs. Xu said! Chen Hu, go, go, take Wang Daji and Chen Xunchuan with you." come over."

Chen Hu immediately responded and ran away quickly.

After a while, Wang Daji and Chen Xunchuan came in cursing under the leadership of Chen Hu. Sure enough, as Ye Anqiao and the others said, these two people looked more challenging than the other.

Moreover, their tempers were obviously very bad. Before they even entered the yard, they were shouting viciously: "Then Zhuo Yuting's death has nothing to do with me! I would have wanted to look at her more than once on weekdays." Her fate is the same! I dare not mess with her!"

"I almost had my arm broken off by her man last time. I still want to sue them. Why do you think I killed her when she died?! If I want to kill her, I will also kill her pretty face fiancé!"

Seeing the two of them coming in, the others were also shocked, completely confused as to why County Magistrate Deng had called these two plague gods over.

Deng Youwei didn't give them time to make noise, and winked at Chen Hu. Chen Hu immediately stood up and said: "Everyone be quiet! We have grasped important clues about this case. Someone present now is The murderer who killed Madam Zhuo, or in other words, the person who had a great relationship with Madam Zhuo’s death!

Just now, we asked you to further examine Mrs. Zhuo's body and found that someone had secretly been to Mrs. Zhuo's body after her death. "

As soon as these words came out, no matter how worried everyone was about Wang Daji and Chen Xunchuan, they all stared at Chen Hu in disbelief.

"Impossible! If someone saw Yuniang after her death, why... why didn't they tell us!"

"What is that person thinking? He wants to see Yu Niang die in the wilderness like this, and she will not be able to rest in peace after death!"

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Chen Hu quickly shouted: "The dead can't lie. No one knows better than the dead who killed her.

Whether it was the person who killed the deceased or the person who had been to the deceased..."

As Chen Hu spoke, he slowly glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Sooner or later, we will find out all of them. In fact, we already know roughly who the person who once came to the deceased was. He came to the deceased." Finally, because he was too shocked, he accidentally left behind something... that could prove his identity!

It's just that that person is not the real murderer. We, County Magistrate Deng, want to give him a chance.

Listen, since you know that the deceased went to the forest, it means that you watched her enter the forest. This means that you probably saw the real murderer.

Regardless of the reason why you are unwilling to tell the story of your visit to the deceased, before noon tomorrow, as long as you take the initiative to inform the people at the county government of the information you have, we will not hold you accountable for what you did in this matter. , and your identity will not be made public. "

After a pause, Chen Hu emphasized word by word again, "I will say it again, the deadline is before noon tomorrow. It is already very late today, so we will go back first. At noon tomorrow, we and Magistrate Deng will come again. Xiaoxi Village, don’t wait until it’s too late!”
