The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 35 The Woman Who Surrendered Himself

Shopkeeper Lin gritted his teeth with grief and indignation on his face.After a pause, he continued: "That night, Xiaomin asked the store clerk to deliver a letter to the dog couple, and asked the man to meet in the grove behind. When the man arrived, Xiaomin took advantage of that When the man was not paying attention, he stabbed him to death with a knife, and then went upstairs with a ghost mask. 13 years ago, the woman had a heart disease and couldn't stand the fright. Thinking that this woman lost her life after being frightened like this. Xiaomin's words are true, please be aware, my lord, Xiaomin took two lives in a row and is willing to suffer."

"This is just your one-sided statement. I must send someone to Linjiang County to verify it first. If what you said is true, it is to avenge the Lord. I can punish you lightly and give you a way out. But if you dare If you lie to the government, don't blame the government for punishing the crime strictly, Master Liu, let the shopkeeper Lin sign the pledge, and then temporarily put the father and daughter in custody."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone in front retreated, but Dou Zihan was still sitting behind the curtain thoughtfully.

"The fact that Shopkeeper Lin is the real murderer, does my cousin have any other opinions?"

"Cousin-in-law, it seems that my cousin and I can leave Qinzhou tomorrow."

"If the people I send to Linjiang County find out that what shopkeeper Lin said is true, then the case can basically be closed."

"No, there were other people who killed the couple. Shopkeeper Lin can only be regarded as an accomplice at best."

"Another person?" Prefect Han was taken aback. Although he also felt that there were many doubts in this case, how could this cousin of the Dou family insist that there was another murderer?

"Although shopkeeper Lin's legs are inconvenient, in terms of height, he is half a head taller than the dead man's corpse. So, if he killed someone with a dagger, the depth of the dagger's penetration must be slightly higher than the upper part. Deeper, deeper dive, but from my test results, it's just the opposite."

"The cousin means that the real murderer who killed that man must be shorter than the deceased?"

"exactly."

"So, shopkeeper Lin is going to take the blame for someone else."

"Actually, the murderer is already very clear. It is Mrs. Lin who has never shown up. The reason why shopkeeper Lin pleaded guilty so readily is because he wants to protect Mrs. Lin." Dou Zihan's words fell to the ground.

"Since shopkeeper Lin wanted to avenge the Lord, why did Mrs. Lin do it herself? Or, what shopkeeper Lin said just now is not the truth?"

Prefect Han is not a stupid person, let alone shopkeeper Lin's confession just now has many doubts, he immediately raised doubts.

"Whether the story shopkeeper Lin just told is the truth or not, my cousin will always find out. However, have you ever thought about why we didn't know where to start the investigation at the beginning of this case, and we didn't have the slightest clue?"

Dou Zihan paused for a moment, then continued: "It's not that the murder method in this case is so clever, or how flawless the on-site design is, but because the entire inn's staff, as well as the cook, are all accomplices or cover-ups of the murderer. "

From the very beginning when the two guys found the bodies of the two men, there was nothing suspicious about their words when they answered the conversation, but the only thing they missed was that they concealed the existence of Ms. Lin and Mrs. Lin.

If it hadn't been for her to find out the person who played the piano, and then involved Miss Lin, and made shopkeeper Lin fearful, that's why he willingly confessed.Otherwise, the case may remain deadlocked.

"Accomplice?" Prefect Han was stunned for a moment, impressed by the sensitivity of this cousin of the Dou family.

In fact, from shopkeeper Lin's plea to the present, he has also sorted out the case. He planned to use the lives of other people in the inn to coerce shopkeeper Lin into handing over Mrs. Lin. role in?But he didn't expect that this cousin of the Dou family would directly tell Ming what he wanted in his heart.

"Exactly, if shopkeeper Lin and his wife have a good relationship, if the incident 13 years ago was also related to Mrs. Lin, if Mrs. Lin is really the real murderer, then the cousin-in-law doesn't need to try every means to intimidate the shopkeeper Lin and his daughter to say Get out of Mrs. Lin's hiding place."

"What my cousin means is that if Mrs. Lin knew that Shopkeeper Lin was going to take the blame for her, she would voluntarily surrender herself?" Is that so?On this point, Prefect Han is not very sure.

"Does my cousin-in-law think this is possible? Since Mrs. Qin, the shopkeeper's neighbor, accidentally met Mrs. Lin three or four days ago, it means that Mrs. Lin's hiding place is not far away. Perhaps, it is somewhere in the inn where we are. In an unknown corner, the person who played the piano on the night of the crime could not be Ms. Lin, but Mrs. Lin."

"My cousin is right."

"Not only that, except for the people who deliberately concealed it in the inn, Madam Lin seldom appeared in front of everyone before the murder. Even Mrs. Qin had seen Madam Lin a few years ago, and she had never seen Madam Lin with her own eyes through a veil. Madam Lin's true face, if I guessed correctly, Madam Lin should be disfigured."

"Disfigured?"

"That's right, just imagine, in the middle of the night, the female corpse who already had a ghost in her heart suddenly saw a woman who thought she was dead or not like a human or a ghost. One can imagine the horror in her heart. This can also explain why she was frightened to death. Perhaps, Mrs. Lin also wanted the female corpse to die in the same way, but since everyone was frightened to death by her, naturally there was no need to use a knife. "

"This explanation is very clear." Prefect Han was thoughtful. Although this cousin of the Dou family is a woman, Ke Simou is not inferior to those old and experienced criminals from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He began to be a little curious about what kind of person Only a family can raise such a woman. Originally, he was satisfied with his wife, whether it is in terms of appearance, family background, or human relations, but as a man, he can't help but compare. If a woman is his wife, what will his life be like?
However, this idea just flashed through his mind, he knew it was impossible, not to mention that a woman like the cousin of the Dou family was obviously too smart and not so easy to control.

"My lord, there is a woman outside the door begging to see my lord, saying that she has come to surrender." At this moment, Detective Li quickly turned in from the outside of the lobby, stood beside the prefect Han and said respectfully.

"Surrender yourself? Could it be Mrs. Lin?" Prefect Han looked at Dou Zihan, admiring the cousin's speculation.

"Don't you know that my cousin-in-law brought someone in?" Dou Zihan smiled lightly. It seemed that the case would soon come to light. Compared with some weird cases she had experienced before, it was really not too special. , but because she came to ancient times and tried her skills for the first time.

"Bring people in."
