Great Lawyer

Chapter 773 Several suspicions ([-])

The two walked around in the woods and crossed the suspension bridge.The bridge deck is wobbly, and it is not stable to step on, but fortunately, the water below is very calm, even if it falls, it is not a big problem.

After crossing the bridge, Du Jiuyan turned around to look at the place where Yutao died.

"Huh." She looked over there and said, "That grandma just said that she didn't cross the bridge, right?"

King Gui said: "Yes. That's what she said."

If you just stand on the side of the bridge and look at it, the distance in the past is at least four hundred steps, and there is a dense forest and shrubs in front of it.

Standing here, you can't see it at all.

"Go and ask that woman again." Du Jiuyan and Liu Gong said, "Do you know her?"

Liu Gong nodded, "I'll invite you."

As he spoke, he trotted away, and led the woman back after a while.

"Grandma, what's your name?" Du Jiuyan asked the woman.

The woman replied, "My name is Mi Nanzhu."

"Aunt Mi Nanzhu, do you know why we invited you here?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Mi Nanzhu shook his head.

Du Jiuyan didn't speak, and pointed at Lin Zi.

Mi Nanzhu didn't understand at first, but then she understood as soon as she blushed, she was suddenly very embarrassed, and said: "I, I, my eyes are good..."

"No matter how good your eyes are, you can't see clearly." Du Jiuyan said.

Mi Nanzhu's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Liu Gong, then lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

Du Jiuyan winked at Liu Gong.

Liu Gong rubbed his hands, said: "I'll wait for you over there." Then he walked a little further.

The locals are here, Mi Nanzhu is embarrassed to say.

"Actually, I have crossed the bridge." Mi Nanzhu said with a blushing face, "I walked a little further and squatted in the grass to watch for a long time."

Bo Nanzhu is young and strong, she is old, otherwise she can... My heart is really itchy, and I feel satisfied after a few glances.

She thought Du Jiuyan and King Gui would laugh at her, but after waiting for a while, she looked up at the two of them, but she didn't see any strangeness in them. I was next to the thickest tree, and I was just looking at it, and didn’t notice that there were other people.”

"How long have you been watching?" Du Jiuyan asked, "Did they end when you left?"

Mi Nanzhu shook his head, and replied: "I watched the time for a cup of tea, he, he is in good health, I just started watching."

As he said that, he was embarrassed to go into more detail, "I was afraid of being discovered, so I crossed the bridge and left."

"Then who did you meet along the way?"

Mi Nanzhu thought for a while, and said: "I saw Yan Gao, that child is fishing on the other side of the river." She pointed to a place dozens of steps away from the opposite bank, "It's in the grass over there."

"Did he see you?"

Mi Nanzhu shook his head and said, "I definitely didn't see me. I walked very fast and entered the stockade at the front."

"Thank you very much." Du Jiuyan said.

Seeing that they had nothing to ask, Mi Nanzhu hurried home with his head down.

She is a widow, and her daughter has been married for three years. This year, she started to live in the man's house, which is some way away from their house.She is really bored at home alone, so she often finds someone to talk to and pass the time alone.

"Liu Gong," Du Jiuyan called Liu Gong, "now that the patriarch doesn't cooperate, who do we need to cooperate with us in investigating the hammers in the entire Lawa Village?"

Liu Gong shook his head and said: "Unless everyone volunteers to help, there must be some people who will not cooperate. It is best for the patriarch to speak."

"Let's go to the patriarch's house." King Gui held Du Jiuyan's hand. Liu Gong was stunned behind him, shaking his mouth, looking at their holding hands from the corner of his eye, and muttered in a low voice, "Han people, Han people , Is it all like this?"

It's too disgusting for a man to hold hands with a man.

"What's the matter?" Du Jiuyan looked at Liu Gong, seeing his strange expression, "Do you have something to hide?"

Liu Gong shook his head, glanced at the hands they were holding, and ran to the front to lead the way, "I, I will go first."

"The young man is thinking of spring?" Du Jiuyan was very distressed, and asked King Gui, "Why do all the young people we know start to think of spring?"

King Gui hummed, and said, "It's normal to think of spring when you're old."

"No!" Du Jiuyan shook his head, "People are divided into groups, the main reason is that you are not serious, my lord."

King Gui leaned on her shoulder, walked with his legs bent, and said in a low voice: "The forest just now, I also think it's very good."

Du Jiuyan pushed his head away, "Work!"

The patriarch's house is located in the center of the village. It is built high, and there is a large open space outside as a yard. Flags are hung on the roof, which is very imposing.

"Clan Chief Lawa." Liu Gong shouted standing in the middle of the yard, and the patriarch came out of the house, stood under the porch and stared at them, and said in a bad tone: "You are not welcome here, please leave immediately."

King Gui was really too lazy to bear him, strode up the steps, lifted the collar of the patriarch, like a chick, and slipped him in.

"Patriarch Lawa, lord..." Liu Gong was taken aback and wanted to follow in, but Du Jiuyan stopped him.

Liu Gong said nervously: "After all, he is the patriarch, the prince... he can't be rough."

"If there is something wrong with Patriarch Lawa, things will become more complicated."

Du Jiuyan waved his hands and said, "No, the prince has a measure."

Liu Gong looked inside, anxious and nervous, sweating profusely.

"The Patriarch Lawa is also true. I told him that he is from the government, but he is still stubborn."

"I really don't know what it means to be stubborn."

Du Jiuyan said: "He probably has never seen a war, so he is tough."

Liu Gong wiped his sweat and silently recited Amitabha.

As he spoke, King Gui came out of the house, and Patriarch Lawa followed behind him with his head down, bowed and saluted, and said, "Young man, let everyone bring their hammers over here."

"You, you wait a moment!"

As the patriarch said, he tremblingly went outside the courtyard to call for someone.

"My lord, you said you are the lord Gui?" Liu Gong asked.

King Gui shook his head and said: "I gave him a medicine, if he refuses to take me, there will be no antidote."

"Ah?" Liu Gong looked stunned and stammered, "This, this is okay?"

King Gui was triumphant, and said with his hands behind his back: "OK!"

"Excellent!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Liu Gong wiped his sweat and said: "My lord is amazing, amazing!"

As they spoke, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the village, and the patriarch ordered people to go door-to-door and bring all the hammers in the house, within a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, each of the 96 households in the village sent over their own hammers, and there were a total of [-] hammers.

"Can this be checked?" Liu Gong looked at the hammers all over the place and was confused.

The patriarch stood aside, clutching his stomach, his face turned pale and he dared not speak.

"Did Yutao be beaten to death with a hammer?" asked a villager.

Du Jiuyan glanced at the speaker. He was about 30 years old, with dark skin and not tall.She replied: "Not sure, so we need to investigate."

The man let out an oh.

"Which hammer is yours?" Du Jiuyan asked casually, and the man pointed to the middle one, and said, "Which wooden handle is painted with red paint is mine."

Du Jiuyan glanced at him and asked, "Are you not married?"

She asked him which one belonged to your family, and he replied that the one with the red paint was his.This kind of dialogue is without thinking, and can best reflect a person's thinking mode and speaking habits.

"Yes, yes." The man was surprised, "You, how do you know?"

Du Jiuyan looked at his hammer. The handle was new, but the wood of the hammer was cracked. She said, "Just ask."

The man glanced at Liu Gong and guessed that Liu Gong might have told her.

More than 100 hammers, Du Jiuyan thought they were useless, because they all looked exactly the same, what she was looking for was the blood-stained hammer, or, some people had two hammers, but he only took one. .

But she still checked them one by one, calling the master to pick them up every time she saw one. She didn't speak, but watched the other person's expression.

When it was dark, all the hammers were taken away, but Du Jiuyan found nothing.

When they returned to Liu Gong's house, Zhou Xiao, Qiao Mo, and Gu Qingshan all came back.

"How did the inquiry go?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Together with Yanhuai, we questioned three men who admired Yutao, one was from their village, and the other two were from Manlan village. One of them went out to visit relatives who were not at home, as many people in the village could prove, Another person was working in the field in the afternoon, and he was still in the field when we went."

"There is only one man named Yanjiao who said he was sleeping at home. His parents have gone to work, and no one can testify to him."

Du Jiuyan said: "What did he say about Yutao's death?"

"He admitted that he liked Yutao and wanted to marry her back home, but Yutao rejected him several times, and threatened to call her brother Yanhuai to beat him. So he hasn't looked for Yutao for several days." Qian Daoan said.

"This person speaks very radically, and the possibility cannot be ruled out."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and went to look at Gu Qingshan again.

"Bo Nanzhu has been staying in the room without making noise, very peaceful." Gu Qingshan replied, "He saw it when I left, and didn't ask me when I would let him out."

"I searched every intersection in the whole mountain, but I didn't find the murder weapon." Qiao Mo replied.

Zheng Yuqin added: "You go to work in the afternoon. I walked around the village and everyone was talking about Yutao's death. They all said that Bo Nanzhu killed her."

"It seems that the people in Lawa village have a lot of opinions on Bonanzhu. If it is not for fear that there will be no doctor in the future, there must be more people who fall into trouble this time."

Du Jiuyan also felt that Bo Nanzhu was arrogant, conceited, and really unpleasant.

"What about you, have you gained anything?" Qian Daoan asked.

Du Jiuyan shook his head and said, "I've looked at all the hammers, but I haven't found any clues."

"Will it be cleaned?" Dou Rongxing asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded and said, "This possibility is not ruled out, but if it has been cleaned, this wooden hammer should still be wet in such a short period of time. What's more, wood absorbs water and will always leave some blood stains. "

"I am more inclined that the murder weapon was not a hammer, or that someone hid a hammer."

"It's, it's strange, it's strange, ah," Song Jiyi said, "Guangtian, Guangtian, Huari, Rizhi, why is it just, no one sees it?"

Everyone collectively rolled their eyes at him.

"In the woods, do you think you're on the road?" Dou Rongxing yelled at him, "Didn't you hear Brother Jiu say that it takes four hundred steps to walk from the riverside?"

Song Jiyi let out an oh.

"Three quarters of an hour..." Du Jiuyan propped his cheek, and said, "I have an idea, listen to what I have told you, and then add it to me."

Everyone looked at her.
