Concubine

Chapter 311 Restoration of Breakpoints

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi had stopped, Su Lizheng, who had been ordering the villager Min Zhuang to carry the grand master's chair to follow behind, hurriedly told Min Zhuang to place the grand master's chair under the shade of a tree for the magistrate to rest.

Yang Qiuchi sat down on the grand teacher's chair, huffing and shaking the folding fan, thinking about what to do, carefully recalling the situation of the iron chain, always feeling that he missed something.

what is it then?Yang Qiuchi looked at the thin iron chain around the dog's neck in the small yard of a family in front of him, and suddenly his heart moved, and he told Su Lizheng to take the chain off the dog and show him to him.

The family was afraid of officials and had already hid in the room. Su Li was standing at the gate of the yard, calling them to quickly take off the chains that tied the dogs.

That family hurried out of the room, knowing that the Elder Master had ordered them to take the dog leash in a panic. Su Li was scolding: "Do you fucking want to let the dog out? If you hurt the Elder Master, How many heads do you have? Why don't you take the dog into the house and take the chain!"

The farmer was an old man in his fifties, and he was already trembling with fright, but after hearing Su Lizheng's scolding, he became even more panicked, and he kept agreeing to lock the dog in the room, and then he took the iron that tied the dog. He bowed his waist and knelt down, handing the iron chain to Yang Qiuchi with both hands.

Yang Qiuchi took it over and looked at it carefully, and said to the old man: "Is this the same when you bought your iron chain from the blacksmith's shop?"

The old man trembled and replied: "Return...report to the master...yes...it's all like this."

Yang Qiuchi touched the two ends of the iron chain. They were two complete long oval iron rings. He immediately recalled that one end of the thin iron chain tied around the neck of the corpse was an incomplete oval iron ring. There is still more than half left, which has been cut off almost from the top.

Yang Qiuchi didn't pay attention at that time. He thought it was the same as buying a rope. You can cut it off as long as you want. Therefore, it is normal to have cut marks on one end. , That’s not the case. It seems that this kind of iron chain has a fixed length, and it is made by a blacksmith with fixed specifications, and it is specially used to tie dogs.

Since the iron chains used to tie dogs are of fixed specifications, and the iron rings at both ends should be complete, why was one end of the thin iron chain around the neck of the deceased cut off?Could it be that someone cut off a piece of the chain that tied the dog and used it to tie up the stones of the sunken corpse?
Yang Qiuchi immediately ordered Su Lizheng to take the policemen to check the whole village to see if anyone's iron chains for dogs or similar iron chains for other purposes were cut off.If there is any, immediately control the family and extract the iron chain.

Su Lizheng hastily agreed, and led the police to search carefully from house to house.

Song Yuner asked: "Brother, have you discovered anything?"

"Well, I recalled that the iron chain around the neck of the dead body seemed to have been cut off, and the iron chains used to tie dogs in this village seemed to be specially made by blacksmiths to tie dogs, so one end of the iron chain was It will not be cut off. If we can find the other end of the chain that was cut off, follow the vines, and use this as a clue, we may be able to find Tucai who killed Li Hanbao and tied the stone with the chain that was cut off. The murderer who sank the corpse, and the murderer is likely to be someone with another chain, at least related to him."

"That's great!" Song Yuner clapped her hands and said with a smile, "When I was examining the corpse, I had no idea at all. I thought to myself, if I were to solve this case, I wouldn't know where to start. My brother is just amazing. , You can know where the criminal is by pinching your fingers!"

"What is it? Are you a fortune teller?" Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.

Shuang'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said: "Yes, I always heard people say that our master solves crimes so well, but I have never really seen it. Today is an eye-opener! After a while, I will The murderer has been caught."

Master Jin also waved his folding fan and echoed: "Yes, Dong Weng is the youngest and most talented among the masters I have ever been with. Since Dong Weng was still a little boy... when that happened, my humble servant was very Admired."

Master Jin is Yang Qiuchi's staff member. He was born as a scholar and has a reputation. He is not comparable to Chang Fu's followers.Yang Qiuchi smiled and said politely, "It's still too early to solve the case. I just found some clues and made some bold speculations. It may not be accurate."

After talking for a while, Su Lizheng came over with the police and escorted a dozen men and women, old and young, and they knelt down in front of Yang Qiuchi.

Su Lizheng held seven or eight iron chains in his hand, bowed and handed them to Yang Qiuchi: "My lord, I and a few officials searched all the houses in the village that have such thin iron chains, and found this Seven or eight iron chains were cut off at one end, and these families were brought along."

Yang Qiuchi hummed, and took those iron chains over one by one to observe the fracture carefully. Although he had a good memory, he couldn't remember exactly what happened to the fracture of the iron chain on the neck of the deceased.It seems that we can only take it back and compare it carefully.Fortunately, each iron chain was tied with a belt with the name of the head of the household written on it, so that it was convenient to find out who the suspect was. Su Lizheng was really careful in his work.

Yang Qiuchi ordered Su Lizheng and Minzhuang to put the dozen or so men and women under residential surveillance, and they were not allowed to move around at will, let alone leave the village.Then, he returned to the Bazhou Yamen with the seven or eight iron chains.

He first ordered a few policemen to go to the cattle and sheep market to investigate the situation of the deceased Li Shiyin's cattle sale the afternoon before yesterday and the exact time when he left Bazhou City to see if there were any clues. At the sheep market, I saw Li Shiyin carrying the money from selling cattle, intending to kill people with money, let the police ask the dealers in the cattle and sheep market whether they found that such people followed the dead out of the city at that time, especially those with rhombus-shaped wooden sticks. Or the man with the thin chains.

After finishing the arrangements, he went back to his own forensic room in the Neiya. What Yang Qiuchi had to do now was to find out whether the other link of the iron chain on the neck of the deceased was among the seven or eight extracted iron chains.

To find the other half, the method is very simple. The iron chain was cut off from one of the oval iron rings close to the round head by a chopper. chain, you can determine another link.

Soon, another piece was found. After butt jointing, it can be completely matched into a complete iron ring. After comparison, the size and thickness are the same as the other iron rings on the iron chain.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the iron chain, looked at the cloth on it, it said "Huo Xiaosi", the iron chain on the neck of the deceased belonged to Huo Xiaosi's family, so Huo Xiaosi would kill someone Suspected of serious crime.

Not long after, the police officers who went to the cattle and sheep market to investigate also quickly came back after finding out the situation, and reported that many people proved that Li Shiyin had indeed sold cattle in the cattle and sheep market the afternoon before yesterday, and got three thousand copper coins.

The police also found the snack bar next to the cattle and sheep market where Li Shiyin had dinner. The owner proved that Li Shiyin left his shop after eating at around 05:30 pm ([-]:[-] p.m.) the evening before yesterday. Went outside the city.No one was found following him.

Yang Qiuchi whimpered and fanned the folding fan, thinking that according to the autopsy, the time of death of the deceased should be about two days, which is consistent with the certificate of the snack bar owner.From Bazhou City to Liuli Village, it only takes about half an hour (about an hour), so if the deceased was killed on the way back, the time of death should be between 05:30 and 06:30 in the evening.

Since there are lime particles in the river bottom mud found in the fingernails of the deceased, it is likely that he was killed near the lime kiln in Liuli Village. Thus, based on the time spent on the journey, the time of death of the deceased is likely to be between 06:30 and [-]. : Between [-].

It is a pity that an autopsy cannot be performed, otherwise, the more accurate time of death can be judged according to the degree of digestion of the stomach contents.

Then, Yang Qiuchi immediately returned to Liuli Village with his troops.

On the way, Song Yuner asked in surprise: "You won't find the suspect so quickly, right?

"Almost." Yang Qiuchi said confidently.

Liuli Road arrived in half an hour, Yang Qiuchi asked Su Lizheng to lead the way, and came directly to Huo Xiaosi's house.

When Huo Xiaosi's family saw that Su Li was bringing Mr. Zhizhou and a large group of policemen to their home, they panicked and knelt in the yard and kowtowed.

Min Zhuang didn't need to order, he carried the grand master's chair and followed all the time, seeing that the old man wanted to ask questions on the spot, he quickly put the grand master's chair in the yard.But there were no trees in the yard, so don't overheat the official on a hot day, what to do, fortunately Shuang'er had been prepared, this time he specially brought a big sun umbrella and put it on top of Yang Qiuchi's head.

It's so comfortable, Yang Qiuchi blinked at Shuang'er with satisfaction, then turned his head and shouted: "Huo Xiaosi!"

A middle-aged man knelt and climbed two steps forward, and replied in a trembling voice, "The villain is here."

Yang Qiuchi picked up the two pieces of the iron chain that were broken and matched, and threw it in front of him: "Look carefully, these two pieces of iron chain belong to your family?"

Huo Xiaosi picked it up, took a look, and nodded: "Yes, it belongs to the villain. The part at the end was untied from the villain's yard by Su Li with several officials. That's when I found out , I don’t know when the iron chain was cut off.”

"Really? You don't know when the iron chain in your yard broke?" Yang Qiuchi sneered, and then asked, "What are you using this iron chain for?"

"Yes... it's for leashing dogs."

"Where's the dog?" Yang Qiuchi looked around, but there was no sign of the dog.

"A few days ago... died of illness... the chain is still left in the yard."

"No way! Since you threw it in the yard and left it alone, how did this half of the iron chain end up on Li Shiyin and Li Hanbao's neck again?"
