Chapter 816: Never Return
"Is it pretended, can't you, a disciple of the medical hall, still see it? If the old doctor is here, he will knock you on the head! Qin Lin glanced at Lu Yuanzhi angrily.
The fat man scratched his scalp and laughed, the doctor was talking about looking, hearing and asking, although there was no consultation or pulse cutting at this time, but just looking at the complexion of the half-old peasant woman, and hearing her voice, he knew that there was a phlegm and fire disease in his lungs, yin deficiency and fire, and his body had no long strength, and he could not complete the physical work of crushing the corpse, moving the corpse, and throwing the corpse no matter what.
Qin Lin waved his hand, and the group walked into the small courtyard of the farmhouse.
When the peasant woman saw a group of officials of all sizes walking into her yard, she panicked and complained to her son: "It's all your kid who is stupid, and your daughter-in-law ran away. ”
The little people can't tell the difference between the officers of the water division and the county officials, anyway, in their eyes, they are all officials who eat court meals.
The son drooped his head and muttered: "Mother, Seaweed is not that kind of person, she usually doesn't go out of the door, and she blushes even when she talks to outsiders......"
"It's all about time, and you're still speaking for that bad woman in Yinben!" The old woman snorted as she spoke.
Ahem, Shen Yourong saw that the mother and son were arguing, so he coughed dryly twice, and then said with a straight face: "Don't gossip, this Qin chief is from Jingshi, specializing in investigating and handling the Qin Ming case, what does he want to ask, you answer honestly, don't have half a lie!" ”
Kyoshi is here! When the old woman and her son heard this, they trembled even more, although Yuegang was opened early, after all, it was only Haicheng County, and Xue Xinyan of Qipinzhi County was the biggest official they had ever seen.
Qin Lin smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, he was indeed from Jingshi, but he was only from the master, he glared at the snickering Shen Yourong, and then he also put on a straight face and asked the mother and son: "Your daughter-in-law is lost, why don't you report it to the official?" If you don't report it, you are also committing a violation of the king's law! ”
"Master, it's not that we don't know about it," the old woman shook her hands and gasped: "This little daughter-in-law eloped, it's not a glorious thing, we have hundreds of boats in and out of Yuegang every day, she and her concubine left by boat, and the official can't find it, but it makes others laugh at our family." ”
"Mother!" The farmer holding the child finally couldn't help it, shouted, and asked Qin Lin anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with the little daughter-in-law?" My mother, my mother has a phlegm fire disease, her temper is not very good, seaweed has been serving with all her heart, never complained, no matter how hard and tired she is, she has never disliked this family, so she will not elope...... My mother is not allowed to report to the official, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that something has happened to her......"
As he spoke, the husband's voice was low, tears rolling in his eyes, perhaps it was the delicate feeling between husband and wife, he had already felt misfortune.
The peasant woman looked at her son in shock, she didn't expect that her son, who couldn't beat a sullen fart with three bars, would say so many words in front of the official master, and even refute herself for the first time, which has never happened before.
She pursed her lips twice, wanting to scold her son, but suddenly realized that what her son said just now was actually the truth, and she didn't know how to refute it...... Qin Lin gently patted the farmer's shoulder, teased the child in his arms with his fingers, and then looked into his eyes and encouraged: "Tell me, tell me when she disappeared and what happened." Trust me, since I've found this place, I'll try to help you. ”
Well! The farmer nodded, he understood Qin Lin's sincerity, so he told what he knew.
The family's surname is Xie, the male owner has long since died, the widow and the third aunt worked hard to bring up her son Xie honestly, and married a satisfactory daughter-in-law, the seaweed is tall and has a big buttocks, and the three aunts and six mothers-in-law all said that they could give birth, and sure enough, it didn't take long to give birth to a white and chubby son.
Originally, everything was so happy, but the third aunt worked too hard when she was young, and when she was old, she suffered from phlegm and fire disease, and even her temper became weird, and gradually she looked at her daughter-in-law horizontally and vertically.
Seagrass is a kind and gentle woman, she is very tolerant of her mother-in-law, and never argues with her third aunt, Xie Laoshi is a porter who carries things at the dock, and every evening when she comes home, Seagrass will make a meal that is not hearty but extremely delicious, waiting for him to eat with her mother-in-law.
The seaweed was lost, just the day before the broken body was found in the port, that afternoon, the third aunt had a phlegm attack, gasping fiercely, and couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, so she used the excuse to quarrel with the seaweed, and seeing that her daughter-in-law was silent, she took her grandson and went back to her room angrily.
Who knew that there was a situation that day, seaweed would go to the vegetable field behind the house every day to pick vegetables, who knew that this time he never came back, leaving behind her husband, leaving behind her beloved children, and there was no news...... "Alas, that day seagrass also said that she wanted to make my favorite scrambled eggs with Tsubaki sprouts, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it," Xie honestly pulled his hair painfully.
The third aunt listened for a long time, and finally understood her son's love for her daughter-in-law, and then looked at the grandson who was crying and looking for her mother, and regretted it in her heart, and said curtly: "Yes, I felt uncomfortable that day, and scolded a little harder, what a 'little prostitute', 'bad woman', but I went back to the room, looked at my grandson alone, and slowly regretted it...... Seaweed, seaweed, she can't scold a few words for her mother-in-law, so she leaves her husband and son, and walks away! ”
"You mother-in-law doesn't know anything!" Lu Yuanzhi complained.
That's it, Qin Lin waved his hand to stop the fat man, firstly, the third aunt has phlegm and fire disease, and it is difficult to control her emotions, and secondly, I am afraid that she has regretted it enough these days, and kept accusing her daughter-in-law, in fact, she was just hiding her inner uneasiness.
Qin Lin looked at Xie Laoshi again, and sighed: "What you said to this official today, if you had explained it to your mother earlier, maybe it would have been ......."
Xie honestly looked at the third aunt, and the third aunt also looked at her son, and both mother and son had regret in their eyes.
It's a pity that there are many things that you won't come back if you lose them......
Qin Lin asked Xie honestly and clearly, it goes without saying that seagrass has a history of childbirth, there are indeed stretch marks on the stomach, the skin is slightly dark, and the body is thin, these characteristics are completely consistent.
The most important thing is that her disappearance was the day before the discovery of the broken body, and she happened to be four feet nine inches tall!
At this time, in southern Fujian, women with a height of four feet and nine inches are absolutely rare, so the height conditions are different from the broad conditions such as slightly dark skin and thin body, and it is possible to achieve accurate locking.
However, her disappearance is completely consistent with the time of the crime, and it is almost certain that it is the victim herself!
The eyes of Lu Yuanzhi, Shen Yourong, Yu Zhigao and others were dark, and they couldn't help but look at the child in Xie Laoshi's arms who was waiting to be fed, poor child, how sad it is to lose his mother since he was a child!
In Qin Lin's clear eyes, there was a flame from hell burning, and he wanted to torture the evil soul of that murderer, and ask him why he killed such a kind daughter-in-law, a respectable wife, and a gentle mother as Haicao!
Lu Yuanzhi wanted to talk to Qin Lin, but he happened to see his eyes, and he shuddered: Qin Lin's eyes were simply a furnace of flames that burned his soul, if the criminal was right in front of him, this terrible torment alone would make his soul never be reborn, right?
"Xie honestly, you said that seaweed goes out to pick fresh vegetables every day when cooking, is it the vegetable patch behind your house?" Qin Lin's voice was surprisingly calm, but there was some deep power hidden under the calm.
Xie was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, we have a few small vegetables growing in the vegetable field." ”
At this time, it is the season of winter to spring, the coastal climate of southern Fujian is humid and warm, there are a few small vegetables that are not afraid of cold have grown, seaweed cooks every day, will go to pick a little, only this can be seen that she is a very virtuous daughter-in-law, try to add a little dish to the table that is not rich.
Thinking of this, everyone's mood became heavier and heavier, and the knuckles of Yu Zhigao's sword hilt holding his waist were a little white, if the murderer stood in front of him, I am afraid that he would be split into ten or eight pieces by this loyal and upright general, using the ancestral swordsmanship of the Yu family.
Qin Lin led the crowd to the edge of the vegetable field behind the house, and the few small dishes that were originally verdant had been sparsely sparse, and they looked very unsightly, obviously because of the lack of care from the hostess.
"Has it been moved here?" Qin Lin asked.
Xie honestly shook his head hesitantly: "I haven't moved much, my daughter-in-law has been gone for the past few days, I don't think about taking the child for tea and dinner, my mother also has phlegm and fire disease, and I don't have the heart to pick vegetables and cook, it's all seaweed's sister Seaweed cooked at her house and sent it to us." ”
That's good! Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down to look at the footprints in the vegetable patch.
Maybe it's because God opened his eyes, it hasn't rained for the past few days, and the previous footprints have been completely preserved, and they appear deep or shallow in the vegetable field.
Qin Lin squatted down and searched carefully, not letting go of any suspicious signs, and carefully looked at those footprints, from time to time he stood up and walked a few steps according to the footprints, until half an hour later, he returned to the path next to the vegetable field.
"Brother Qin, what's the matter?" Lu Fatzi was worried in his heart, and with his understanding of Qin Lin, the look on his face indicated that the situation was not optimistic.
Qin Lin shook his head: "Strange, the newer footprints on this side of the vegetable field all belong to the seaweed herself, and I re-walked the newer footprints, which were the last footprints she walked, without panic or messiness, it looks like a sign of escape or being held hostage, and ......"
Speaking of this, Qin Lin stared at the footprints on the ground and muttered.
Yes? People were a little surprised, after all, Qin Lin was like a god in solving cases, there had never been a case that he couldn't handle, and now even he felt that it was tricky, didn't he encounter a problem?
"And she left the vegetable field from here, it seems that she went in that direction," Qin Lin pointed to the west, "She was originally picking vegetables here, look, there are still broken vegetable leaves here, it looks like they were picked a few days ago, she should go back after picking vegetables, why go over there...... By the way, thank you honestly, you said that she wants to make toon sprouts fried eggs, there is no toon tree in front of and behind this house, where does she go to pick toon buds? ”
Xie Laoshi's face became extremely ugly, and he handed over the child to his mother, and ran to the west, stumbling along the way.
