Concubine

Chapter 521 One Life After Another (seeking a monthly ticket)
The catcher was on duty at the yamen. After hearing this, Cheng Ziqin stood up unsteadily and asked, "What's going on?"

The policeman hurriedly said: "People from Baijia Village came to report the crime, saying that the auntie of the main family in the village hadn't come out of the room after dinner. Everyone thought she was sleeping, and later found out that she was dead."

Cheng Ziqin stood up abruptly, feeling dizzy, and forced himself to say: "Has a homicide happened? Come on! Let's go!" With one step, he was caught on a stool leg and almost fell down.Yang Tashan hastily pulled her back.

Seeing Cheng Ziqin like this, Yang Tashan knew he couldn't go, so he asked Tian Nizi to send Cheng Ziqin back, and rushed back to get the forensic evidence investigation box, and brought Shouhou, Luo Yi, Tuya and a few more. The two brothers and the person who reported the crime rode to Baijia Village together.

After walking for about an hour, they arrived at Baijia Village. The houses in the village were brightly lit, and it was a mess, crying and arguing.

The villagers who reported the case rushed into the courtyard of the main house in the village and shouted loudly: "Here comes the catcher Yang, here comes the catcher Yang!"

Everyone in the village had seen Yang Tashan during the day, and the arrests came quickly, so it was naturally much quieter.

The villager Zheng Baigan was sitting on a grand master's chair in the dam in front of the cave dwelling, with a gloomy expression.Seeing Yang Tashan coming, he quickly stood up, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Yang, for making you come so late."

"It doesn't matter, it's true that you have to mourn!" Yang Tashan patted the villager on the shoulder as a consolation, "Who was the first to find the corpse?"

The village made a forehand move, and a little girl came over. The village said: "This is my second girl, named Feng'er, she is the one who found her mother dead in the house."

This little girl was about five or six years old, she seemed to be terrified, standing in front of Yang Tashan and still trembling, her eyes were already swollen from crying, her nose was so black that she didn't even know it.

Yang Tashan was very sorry, knelt down and hugged Feng'er, took out a sweat towel to wipe her tears, and wiped off her snot, and asked softly: "Feng'er, don't be sad! You are so sad! If you don't, your father will feel even more uncomfortable? When you grow up, you have to be sensible, you know?"

That girl is very well-behaved and sensible. Seeing what Yang Tashan said, she stopped crying. Seeing that Yang Tashan had a kind expression, she was not afraid of life. She hugged Yang Tashan's neck tightly with her two little hands, and she kept crying. Sobbing.

Yang Tashan waited for her to calm down, and then asked in a soft voice: "Feng'er is good! Tell uncle, when did you call mother for dinner?"

"In the evening, when I came back from cutting the cow grass, my sister said that grandma had already cooked the meal, so I asked my mother to have dinner. So I went."

"and then?"

"I went, and the door of mother's room was closed. I called out a few times, but seeing that mother didn't answer, I thought mother was sleeping, so I didn't dare to call anymore, so I went back and told grandma. Grandma heard that mother I was sleeping, so I got angry, and took me to knock on the door again, but mother still didn't open it, so grandma called daddy, so I climbed up the window, poked a hole with my finger, looked inside, and saw my mother died in the window. In the house. Then daddy and the others came and knocked the door open. Huh, huh..." After speaking, tears flowed down again.

"Feng'er, don't cry! You have to think about it, so that uncle can know who killed mother, what do you think?"

"Mother died by herself. Feng'er was not good. Mother is angry and doesn't want Feng'er anymore." Feng'er said while crying.

"Who told you that your mother died by herself?"

"Father said it. Dad said that I didn't mow enough grass for our big buffalo this afternoon. Mother got angry and ignored Feng'er and took rat poison. Brother, am I a fairy like Auntie Chu?" , is it the Ke family?"

Yang Tashan looked at the tearful child in his arms, and his heart twitched. He didn't know who told her, but at a young age, he called himself a goblin. It was really sad to think of it.

"How could it be? You are not. You are so beautiful and well-behaved, how could it be?"

Feng'er nodded doubtfully.

"Now tell uncle, what did you see after your father opened the door, okay?" Yang Tashan knew that this was a cruel thing for a child who just lost his mother, but he had to do it, Because children don't lie.

"I... I... saw that my mother was lying on the ground, her hair was loose, and I couldn't see her face. Then grandma blindfolded me and took me away."

Yang Tashan briefly asked the villager again, and the situation was roughly the same, so the villager took them to the crime scene.

In the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi was a poor and remote area, and people lived in cave dwellings. In ordinary families, the whole family slept on the same kang, but Baijia Village was relatively wealthy in Qingyang Prefecture, and there were several cave dwellings in the village.

This village still knows how to protect the scene, and the cave where the incident occurred has prohibited outsiders from entering.

Yang Tashan stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in, only to see a woman lying face down on the ground, her long hair covering her face.

He and Luo Yi walked into the cave carefully. Although there was no furniture in the room, it was still clean. Yang Tashan glanced around and saw that the quilts on the top of the kang were neatly folded, and there were still The unfinished needlework looks like the bellyband of a two- or three-year-old child. There is a butterfly embroidered on the bellyband. The embroidery is not finished yet. The embroidery is not bad. It seems that the real wife in the village should be a virtuous woman.

Luo Yi stepped forward, gently brushed the corpse's hair away, and let out a scream.

Hearing Luo Yi's voice, Yang Tashan turned around. On the face of the corpse whose hair was brushed away by Luo Yi, there was a black thing the size of a palm. Looking closer, it turned out to be a birthmark, which happened to grow on the left cheek. Very eye-catching.

Only then did Yang Tashan understand why Luo Yi exclaimed, it really looked a little scary.

At the entrance of the cave right outside the village, he forced a smile and said, "My mother-in-law and aunt are ugly, scaring the two officials."

Yang Tashan thought to himself, it's really not easy in this village, it's really amazing to be in front of such a woman all day.

The villager wanted to understand Yang Tashan's thoughts, so he sighed softly and did not speak.

Yang Tashan conducted a simple physical examination on the corpse, and found no trauma or abnormalities on the back.When the corpse was turned over, it was found that the deceased had disheveled hair and a painful expression, but the color and shape of the face were relatively normal.

When the eyelids of the deceased were opened, no bleeding points were found on the eyelids, and there was no bruising and swelling symptoms of suffocation on the face.Death from mechanical asphyxiation can be ruled out initially.

I opened my mouth and found something in my mouth. I took it out and took a look. It was some unchewed steamed buns, which had been soaked by saliva.

He took off his clothes and conducted a physical examination. No open wounds were found, nor were there any obvious symptoms of poisoning.Rigidity has appeared, descending, and has reached below the waist; corpse spots are dark purple, distributed on the face, chest and abdomen, and front of the thighs, consistent with the characteristics of the corpse in a prone position.Then the rectal temperature of the corpse was measured. According to the humidity and temperature, combined with the rectal temperature of the corpse, rigor and cadaver spots, the death time was estimated to be three to four hours.

In this way, the woman died not long after they left Baijia Village.

After physical examination, no signs of homicide were found, and it was initially judged to be sudden death caused by disease.However, no conclusion can be drawn without investigation and autopsy.Because it looked like an accidental death, but it was actually a murder, Yang Tashan encountered many cases in the investigation of cases with his father Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Tashan ordered the village to send decent people to take the body away and temporarily put it in the village's yizhuang, conduct an investigation first, and decide whether to conduct an autopsy based on the investigation.However, regarding the autopsy, his father Yang Qiuchi has repeatedly warned that no autopsy should be performed unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, this village has a strong sense of clan, and I want to check the belly of the real wife in the village. No.Therefore, he decided to conduct the necessary investigation first to see if he could find out whether there was murder through the investigation.

He went around the house again, and found a red cloth button at the door of the cave.

Yang Tashan snorted, he remembered that the buttons on the clothes of the deceased were blue, so they shouldn't belong to the deceased. Could it be that someone accidentally dropped them when he came in?If it is murder?Could it be left by the murderer?Yang Tashan put the button into his pocket.

He called the villager Zheng in and asked, "When I was at the ancestral hall today, was your wife there?"

"Yes, I went out with her, with my mother and my three children."

"After we left, when did your wife leave, do you know?"

"Then I don't know. After everyone dispersed, I stayed with the patriarch and a few elders. I didn't go back until you left."

"Then you haven't entered your bedroom since you came home?"

"I've been in my bedroom." Bai Gan said.

"Ah? Didn't you and your wife sleep together?" Yang Tashan was a little surprised.

Na Baigan felt a little embarrassed: "Recently, the second girl, Feng'er, felt cold and refused to sleep with her grandma. Her mother cherished her and wanted to take care of her, so she slept with Feng'er in this cave dwelling."

"How long has it been?" Luo Yi interjected and asked.

"For a while, the house was sunny and warm at night."

It seemed that Bai Qian still cared about his wife and children very much, Yang Tashan thought to himself, he looked in the house again, and found nothing unusual, then walked out of the cave.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze from the surrounding villagers not far away shooting directly at him.He looked out and saw that it was Bai Yuefeng's wife, Jiang Tianling, standing in the crowd and looking at him coldly, her eyes were like a sharp knife, as if trying to pierce Yang Tashan's body.

Yang Tashan stared at her intently, thinking to himself, this woman is really evil, so he should pay attention to her.

It was very late, and since there was no sign of homicide in the case, Yang Tashan decided to go back first, and continue the investigation the next day, together with the case of Chudie.

Baigan accompanied Yang Tashan and others to the entrance of the village.

On the way, Yang Tashan asked casually, "Bai Lizheng, this cub has married twice, why does the big brother of the Jiang family still marry her?"

"This... Maybe it's because of her appearance. The Jiang family has been a carpenter for generations. The eldest brother of the Jiang family is simple and honest, and he is also very kind to others. He doesn't blush with anyone. Since he got married with Chudie, he has treated her well. That Chidie is also very good, alas! That woman is actually unlucky, Kong Chang has a beautiful face, but she marries and remarries, the first two seem to treat her badly, this one finally knows how to love her , but haven't had two years of good life, really..."

Bai Gan sighed and didn't say any more.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Tashan finished his exercises and was drinking tea shirtless on the grand master's chair under the platform under the eaves.He heard someone calling the door, and he knew it was Cheng Ziqin from the sound.Yang Tashan hurriedly put down the tea bowl, didn't bother to put on his clothes, so he trotted over and opened the door.Sure enough, it was Cheng Ziqin.

Cheng Ziqin blushed slightly when he saw Yang Tashan's bare upper body, and walked sideways into the yard.Yang Tashan didn't think there was anything wrong, he followed Cheng Ziqin carelessly: "Why did you wake up so early today? Are you sober?"

Cheng Ziqin didn't look at him either: "It's not too much wine, it doesn't get in the way. I heard from Tuya that something happened in Baijia Village last night, so I came here to ask you."

Xing'er brought the washing water, Yang Tashan signaled Xing'er to put the washing water on the stone table in the yard, and while washing, he spoke to Cheng Ziqin: "I conducted a preliminary physical examination on the corpse of the village official mother-in-law. No sign of homicide was found, and I went there after drinking a little wine last night, so I dare not jump to conclusions, and I will go to Baijia Village in a while. In this weather, the corpse cannot be left for too long. I hope it can be done as soon as possible. Find out why."

Cheng Ziqin nodded, "I'll go with you and call that He Yan. After all, he's familiar with the situation there. You can ask He Yan's wife if necessary."

Yang Tashan complied, and packed up quickly, Xing'er had already made breakfast, the two of them ate, and then came to the yamen.

As soon as he entered the yamen, he saw a group of people yelling around the police room, Yang Tashan recognized one of them, and that person was the pungent Jiang Tianling, whose sharp voice almost knocked the roof down.

"What are you shouting about?" Yang Tashan roared, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

Jiang Tianling turned around coldly and looked at Yang Tashan: "Give us that evil spirit, Chudie, if she doesn't die, our Baijia Village will have no peace."

"Presumptuous, you don't even look, where are you." Cheng Ziqin said coldly.

Next to Jiang Tianling, an old woman in her fifties came forward and said tremblingly, "Master, my daughter-in-law also died yesterday. She was killed by that goblin. God wants to accept this goblin, but you are so terrified." Don't let it go, it's better now, look at it, look at it, she is alive and well with you, but my daughter-in-law was killed by her!"

Her daughter-in-law?Yang Tashan thought to himself, then this woman should be Bai Lizheng's mother, so he slowed down his tone and said in a low voice: "Mother, we naturally understand your feelings, but you can't do it like this, you should go back first Yes, I promise you to clarify the matter as soon as possible and give you an explanation."

"Bah! You are protecting that vixen!" The old woman spat hard beside Yang Tashan, Yang Tashan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Bold!" Tuya on the side shoved the old woman and snapped, "What are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, the old woman lay down on the ground, crying and howling, as if the rabbit's teeth had already killed her, and she was not easy to mess with.

In ancient times, fast catchers belonged to the untouchables. If no crime was committed, ordinary people would not pay attention to fast catchers. Therefore, fast catchers really had no status in ancient reality, otherwise they would not be classified as untouchables.Although the rabbit teeth are tall and big, the old woman is not afraid at all.

Cheng Ziqin stepped forward and was about to help her, but Tuya stopped her and said, "Cheng Butou, don't go, that shrew will come after you!"

After Tuya pulled Cheng Ziqin away, he walked forward and said coldly to the old woman who was rolling on the ground: "Okay! You just lie down here and you are probably tired after walking for such a long time. We I won't touch you, lest you say we beat you."

Yang Tashan was too lazy to be as knowledgeable as the old woman, so he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Tianling: "You are gathering a crowd to attack the yamen, I warn you, if you don't listen to us, no wonder we are strong! If you don't leave now Go, make us angry, put you in prison for a few days, and punish each of you!"

Jiang Tianling didn't seem to like this at all, and said coldly: "Okay! You arrest it! You should arrest us all, it's best to arrest all the people in our Baijia Village, and then arrest us all. If you kill him, you can openly release that goblin. Anyway, if we don't get killed by you, we will be killed one by one by that fox!

Yang Tashan frowned: "What did you kill everyone? Who did she kill?"

Jiang Tianling yelled almost hysterically: "God! Are you blind? She killed her three husbands, married one and died one, married one and died another! Hahaha, three people, three people died One person! The third one is my own elder brother! There are three children, a total of six lives were killed! Now the one in Bai Lizheng’s room was also killed! Seven people! A total of seven people were killed! What do you say? Who is killed! Do you have to wait for her to kill everyone in our village before you are happy? Huh?"
