corpse village

In the evening, the town police came.This time, a total of three policemen came, and the one leading the team was Lao Liu, who knew everyone in Shima Village.The other two are small police officers who were assigned to the police station at the beginning of this year. One is surnamed Zhang and the other is surnamed Ma. Everyone calls them Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ma.

After rushing to Shima Village, Lao Liu immediately took Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ma to the old well. After checking there, they found nothing.

At this time, the villagers had already brought ropes, water pipes and so on.Lao Liu then asked the villagers to help, first to pump out the water in the old well, and to pick up the corpses in the well first.

After working for more than half an hour, the villagers pumped out the water in the old well.However, this old well is about ten meters deep. Although there is no water, it is still dark inside, and it is not very clear.

At this time, Lao Liu tied the nearly 20-meter-long hemp rope with a thick wrist to the big locust tree next to the old well, and then let the pony grab the hemp rope and go down.

That guy Xiao Ma is quite courageous, once Old Liu finished speaking, he grabbed the rope and went down into the well without saying a word.After about ten minutes, the pony covered in mud crawled out of the well.

"How is it? Is the corpse down there?" Old Liu asked eagerly.

The pony shook his head helplessly and said, "Nothing?"

"Nothing?" Lao Liu didn't believe what Xiao Ma said.

So, after saying this, Lao Liu grabbed the rope by himself and went down into the well.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lao Liu, who was covered in mud, climbed up, but in his hand, there was an extra machete covered in mud.

"It is true that there is no corpse, but I found a hatchet." Old Liu raised the hatchet full of mud in his hand and said.

"Jiang is still old and spicy, Team Six, you are the best. I just searched for a long time below, but found nothing. You went down for a while, and you found such an important physical evidence. I have to learn from you. "Seeing Lao Liu coming up with a machete in his hand, Xiao Ma immediately flattered him.

As soon as he heard Xiao Ma flattering him, Old Liu immediately became smug.

"You young people! You are all smart, but you are too sloppy. If you can get rid of this sloppy problem, you will definitely become an excellent people's policeman in the future!" Lao Liu said.

Faced with Lao Liu's earnest teachings, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ma nodded repeatedly, expressing to Lao Liu that he taught them correctly.After Lao Liu finished some ideological and political education, Xiao Zhang spoke.

"Captain Liu, I'll fetch a bucket of water to wash this wood-cutting knife. Let the villagers identify it, see which family this wood-cutting knife belongs to, and see if we can find useful clues from this." Xiao Zhang said.

"Your brain is so quick that you can pick up what I have." Lao Liu waved to Xiao Zhang and said, "Go!"

Soon, Xiao Zhang went to fetch a bucket of clean water, and Lao Liu put the hatchet into the bucket to wash it.After washing it, Lao Liu found some small nicks on the blade.

Lao Liu is also a rural person, and he knows what the gaps left on the knife by chopping firewood look like.Judging from the shape of these gaps, they don't look like they were left when chopping wood. That is to say, these gaps are probably left by the murderer after chopping people down.

"You don't know this woodcutter?" Lao Liu asked the villagers present with the woodcutter in his hand.

Every household has a firewood knife, and the most important thing is that every household has a firewood knife that looks almost the same.The hatchet knife in Lao Liu's hand also has no special characteristics.Therefore, the villagers could not tell who it belonged to.

Old Liu also knew that the villagers could only recognize their own firecutter at most.Moreover, even if this firewood knife belonged to a certain villager present, under such circumstances, he would definitely not recognize it.

Although he is only a policeman in a township police station, Lao Liu has been a policeman for many years.Therefore, he still has some means to find clues.

"Folks, since no one knows who owns this firewood knife, please go home and take out your own firewood knife. If the big guys' firewood knives are still at home, then It proves that the owner of the woodcutter in my hand is not from Shima Village." Lao Liu said.

In rural areas, there is only one woodcutter in a family, and generally, a woodcutter is used for many years, so you can tell the new and old knives at a glance.So, if the murderer is really in Shima Village, Lao Liu's move can directly lock the suspect.

In Lao Liu's view, the person who couldn't get out the hatchet, or the person who came out with a new hatchet, was probably a suspect.

Originally, Lao Liu thought that with his own hand, he could figure out the details of this case.Unfortunately, however, he was wrong.Because, all the villagers in Shima Village took out their firewood knives from their homes.

All the chopping knives that the villagers took out were old and none of them were new.In other words, the woodcutter in Lao Liu's hand will not belong to the villagers.

The dawn that had just appeared in front of Lao Liu was gone, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

"Could this knife belong to Cripple Liu himself?" Xiao Ma suddenly said.

Xiao Ma's words really had some enlightening effect on Lao Liu.

"That's right! Go and have a look at Lame Liu's house!" Old Liu slapped his forehead, then strode ahead, towards Lame Liu's house.

Lao Liu took Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ma to search for Liu Zizi's kitchen for a long time, but failed to find the hatchet of Liu Zizi's house.This time, Lao Liu could almost confirm that this hatchet knife belonged to Cripple Liu himself.

However, Lao Liu is a rigorous person, and at that time there was no technology for testing DNA and fingerprints.If you want to really confirm whether this woodcutter belongs to Liu Laizi's family, you have to find someone to confirm it.

In Shima Village, the person closest to Liu Xizi is his brother Liu Daqiang.Therefore, Lao Liu handed the hatchet knife to Liu Daqiang, and asked him to take a good look at whether the hatchet knife belonged to Liu Cripple.

As soon as Liu Daqiang saw the hatchet, he panicked.You know, Liu Daqiang used this machete to cut off limp liu's lame leg.Therefore, upon seeing this woodcutter, Liu Daqiang recalled what happened in the early morning.

The more afraid of being exposed, the easier it is to be exposed.Liu Daqiang wanted to pretend to be calm, but when he picked up the machete, his hands trembled unconsciously.

The villagers may not have noticed this detail, but Lao Liu definitely saw it clearly.

"Is this Cripple Liu's hatchet knife?" Old Liu asked.

"I don't know either." Liu Daqiang said.

The reason why Liu Daqiang answered this way was because he didn't want to talk too much.Liu Daqiang knew that if he said it was the knife of Cripple Liu, then Lao Liu would definitely keep asking.The more you say this, the easier it is to get caught.

Liu Daqiang's answer undoubtedly made Lao Liu more convinced of his own judgment.However, Lao Liu will not touch Liu Daqiang until he has conclusive evidence.

After all, everyone is from the same village.If I made a wrong judgment and wronged a good person, I would not be able to hold on to my face in the future.What's more, Lao Liu really wanted to give Liu Daqiang a chance to surrender.

"Okay, then if you think of anything, you must come to the town and tell us." Old Liu said to Liu Daqiang meaningfully.

Liu Daqiang understood the subtext of Lao Liu's words.Old Liu was telling him that if he, Liu Daqiang, really committed the case, he'd better go to the town and surrender himself.

After saying this, Lao Liu asked Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ma to investigate carefully in Liu Zizi's room.The two little policemen searched the house for about an hour, searching the front and back of the house, but found no new clues except for the pair of women's trousers.

After Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ma checked, Lao Liu put the lady's trousers and the hatchet knife into his pocket, put the broken foot into another pocket, and packed it.

After packing the bag, Lao Liu said to the villagers: "If you find any clues, or find Liu Zizi's body, you must report to the town police station!"
