Attend a classmate's wedding and arrest the bride on the spot

Chapter 120 Visit and investigate, looking for clues

"Who is that woman?"

Have
Ye Chen asked the village chief.

The village chief followed the direction indicated by Ye Chen and saw who he was asking, and said casually: "Oh, she, she is a lonely old lady Liu in our village. She usually herds cattle near here. I guess she heard that Something happened here, so I came to take a look."

After hearing the village chief's words, Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart.

Do you usually graze cattle around here?
Then, she did have the time and conditions to commit the crime.

But why would she, a lonely old man, attack this young man?

What was her motive for committing the crime?
Ye Chen continued to ask: "Is she a lonely old man? Please tell me about her family situation!"

Although the village chief also wondered why Ye Chen suddenly asked about a villager who didn't want to work, he didn't ask too much and told everything he knew.

"This Mrs. Liu is very pitiful. Her wife died when she was young, and she only had one son. She fell ill and died a few years ago. When her son died, her daughter-in-law also left. Now, she is the only one in the family with a teenage boy. My grandson with cerebral palsy depends on each other.”

"This Mrs. Liu, despite her age, is very powerful. If anyone in the village dares to laugh at her grandson, she will sit at the door of that house and scold them all day long until the family dare not show their face. She is done. He also has a very withdrawn personality. He never talks much to other people in the village. He always lives alone. He has two cows at home, and he drives them out every day to graze the cows on the river embankment. He sells them once a year to earn some money. , which is the living expenses of the grandparents and grandchildren for one year."

Listening to the village chief's description, Ye Chen gradually sketched out the general situation of Mrs. Liu.

So, could it be that there was some conflict between the deceased and Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu took action and killed the deceased?
But what's the conflict between a half-grown child and an old man?
What was her motive for killing?
Perhaps, we have to go to their home and investigate to find out.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen remained calm and said: "Team Leader Xiao, I think it is too early for us to conclude that the deceased died of drowning. We should continue to investigate!"

Hearing what Ye Chen said, forensic doctors Chen Lao and Xiao Feng were stunned.

Forensic doctor Chen Laoxian said: "Xiaoye, I have already examined this corpse. The deceased drowned while he was still alive. There was a large amount of foam and algae in his mouth and nasal cavity, and there was also fluid accumulation in the lungs. It was completely It’s consistent with death by drowning!”

Forensic doctor Mr. Chen has been a criminal investigation forensic doctor all his life and has been to countless scenes.

He was very sure about the real cause of death of the deceased.

I feel that I will definitely not be wrong.

"Yes, Ye Chen, isn't the situation already clear? Is there anything else unclear? What else needs to be investigated?"

Ye Chen said: "Just now, the deceased's grandmother said that the deceased was very good at swimming. How could a person who was very good at swimming drown for no reason? There may be other possibilities."

"Also, the village chief also said that the children in the village have rarely swum in this large reservoir in the past two years. They basically play in a small river near the village. Why did the deceased run to this reservoir alone?"

Faced with Ye Chen's doubts, Xiao Feng also noticed something unusual.

"So, this situation does seem a bit strange..."

Jiang Dong said from the side: "However, based on these two points alone, it cannot be said that the deceased was a homicide, right? Maybe he just wanted to change the place to play in the water?"

Ye Chen did not speak, but looked at the hunchbacked Mrs. Liu not far away.

If it weren't for the system's reminder, Ye Chen might never have imagined that this case would be related to such an old woman.

She would actually be the murderer in this case.

"Since there are so many doubts about the case, we cannot close it easily. I suggest that we visit every house in the village to investigate first!"

After hearing Ye Chen's suggestion, Xiao Feng also felt that it made sense.

The forensic doctor was left behind to continue investigating the scene, while Ye Chen, Xiao Feng, Jiang Dong and others returned to the village with the village chief.

They decided to visit the village and investigate first.See if there are any new discoveries.

Ye Chen and Xiao Feng discussed and divided their troops into two groups to conduct an inspection in this small village with only more than 20 households.

After visiting several houses, Ye Chen also learned more about the deceased.

The deceased, Deng Jiajia, was 16 years old and in her third year of junior high school.

Because of his excellent grades, he usually ranks among the top three in school. Therefore, before the high school entrance examination, he has been admitted to the best experimental high school in the city. As long as he waits until the semester starts in September, he can enter the first grade of high school.

This incident is the biggest happy event for the Deng family.

Granny Deng always praised her grandson as smart, sensible and well-behaved, and that she didn't need to worry about him when she met everyone.

Who knew that something like this would happen now.

"What a pity! This Jiajia is the best-educated and smartest child in our village!"

"Yes, his grandma is very precious. A few days ago, she even bought her grandson a phone watch. This is the first gift among the children in our village! Other children are envious! Alas..."

Hearing these words, Ye Chen suddenly became thoughtful.

Phone watch?

In this poor and remote rural area, very few children have phones and watches.

It can be seen how much the deceased's grandmother loved her grandson.

前

The deceased's grandmother just bought him a phone watch a few days ago?

If a child of this age has a phone watch, he will definitely wear it every day and be reluctant to take it off.

However, when the deceased's body was discovered, he did not see a phone or watch on his hand.

None were found on the shore near where the body was found.

Isn't he wearing his watch?
This idea flashed through Ye Chen's mind.

After visiting four or five houses, we arrived at the door of the hunchbacked Mrs. Liu's house.

Ye Chen looked at the closed door and stood silently.

Although they are all rural areas, the houses of other houses in this village are basically two-story buildings, and some of them are one-story bungalows with yards.

But Mrs. Liu's family in front of her was incompatible with other families in the village.

The gate to her house is still an old-fashioned fence gate nailed with wooden boards.

From the gap in the door panel, you can clearly see the situation inside the yard.

The courtyard wall is made of adobe, and the roof is covered with blue tiles.

A corner of the yard should be a cowshed for raising cows. There is still cow dung on the ground, which smells very bad.

Ye Chen was silent for a while, then stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

Now, Mrs. Liu is still at the river and has not returned. Her grandson with cerebral palsy should be the only one at home, right?
