Chapter 787: The Skull Appears
Bai Laoba's courtyard was very strange, and many villagers even retreated in fright.
Hua Lang endured the unpleasant smell of blood and examined the corpse, only to see that there were no external injuries on the body except for the head, and there were no signs of poisoning, which means that the fatal injury of the deceased should be above the neck, and now the deceased's head was taken away by the murderer, if you want to know the specific cause of death, I am afraid that the only way to find the deceased's head is to find it first.
Hanarang stood up and looked at the weeping people and asked, "Who was the first to find the body?" ”
At this time, a half-hundred-hundred-woman stood up and said, "It's me, I'm Bai Laoba's wife." ”
Hua Lang bowed his head slightly and asked, "What happened at that time?" ”
Bai Laoba's wife cried and said: "It was very late, I was resting in the house with the master, but then the master suddenly said that the abdominal pain was convenient, and I didn't care much, but the master didn't come back when he went out of the half pillar of incense, I was a little worried, so I got up and went down to look for the master, and when I walked to the courtyard, I saw the body of the master lying here, so scary!" ”
"You weren't asleep, didn't you hear a sound?"
The woman shook her head: "I didn't hear it, the place where we live is still some distance from here, our residence is in the backyard, and the front is the courtyard." ”
After the woman explained this, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and then asked, "Who do you think will kill your master?" ”
After Hua Lang asked such a question, the woman seemed very hesitant, and when Bao Zheng saw this, he snorted coldly: "Why are you spitting and spitting, just say who is likely to kill Bai Laoba!" ”
The woman's frightened neck shrunk and said, "If Bai Qiye hadn't died, I think the murderer might have been Bai Qiye, but now that Bai Qiye died before my master, I don't know who the murderer is." ”
Everyone was very surprised when they heard the woman's words, because they really didn't understand why Bai Qiye would kill Bai Laoba?
"You said that it is possible for Bai Qiye to kill your master?"
The woman cried and nodded again and again, and at this time, Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai, who were standing on the side, suddenly ran over, knelt down and said, "My lord, our father won't kill the eighth uncle, really." ”
Bao Zheng and Hua Lang didn't care about Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai's words, they just looked at Bai Laoba's wife and asked, "Why is it possible for Bai Qiye to kill Bai Laoba?" ”
"Back to the adult's words, it's like this, our master seems to know a secret of Bai Qiye, he often uses that secret to ask Bai Qiye for money, Bai Qiye is afraid that my master will tell the secret, so every time my master goes to ask for money, he gives it, I have persuaded my master for this matter, saying that Bai Qiye is in a hurry, be careful of him yin you, but my master said that he was not afraid, and then Bai Qiye was killed, and my master immediately went to the elders in the village to give gifts, I want to be this village!"
After the woman said this, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng immediately understood what Bai Lao Ba had deceived them today, it turned out that the money that Bai Qiye gave to Bai Lao Ba was not just hiding Jiaojiao in the gold house outside, but also hush money.
It's just that Bai Qiye is dead, why was this Bai Lao Ba killed?
The secret, the secret that both of them knew?
Thinking of the secret, Bao Zheng hurriedly asked, "What secrets does your master know about Bai Qiye?" ”
The woman looked embarrassed and said, "The old man has never told me about this matter, only that he knows a secret, but he doesn't tell me what the secret is, this ......" The woman spread her hands, and it was even more difficult.
Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others also felt that things were a little difficult to handle, and after they ordered someone to look at Bai Laoba's body, they immediately summoned people to search Bai Laoba's head in the whole village in order to determine how Bai Laoba was killed.
Some villagers like to be lively, and they also carry torches to follow the officials to look for them, and for a while the whole village seems to be a little more lively than during the day.
In this way, they searched all the places where their heads might be hidden, but they couldn't find them, and at this time it was almost dawn, so everyone had to give up.
After Hanalang and the others went back to the tent to rest for more than an hour, the sky was bright, and the wind was blowing at this time.
After Hua Lang and the others got up, they were going to continue looking for Bai Laoba's head, but at this time, the people from Bai Qiye's family hurriedly came and said that they had found Bai Laoba's head.
When everyone saw that it was the head found by the people of Bai Qiye's family, they suddenly had doubts in their hearts, so they hurriedly asked, "Where did you find it, who found it?" ”
The subordinates of the Bai Qiye family asked Hua Lang so eagerly, and they were also a little panicked, and stammered and replied, "Yes...... It was found by Bai Yi in the dry well in the backyard of the house. ”
"That is, the dry well where Bai Qiye's body was found?"
The subordinate nodded repeatedly.
After hearing these words, Hua Lang, Bao Zheng and the others looked puzzled, they didn't expect that the murderer would throw Bai Laoba's head into the dry well in the backyard of Bai Qiye's house, and the person who found it turned out to be Bai Yi who found Bai Qiye's body.
At first, they didn't pay much attention to Bai Yi, but now it seems that this Bai Yi also needs to investigate.
After thinking about it like this, Bao Zheng immediately asked the subordinate to lead the way in front, and they followed into Bai Qiye's house.
Although Bai Laoba's head was found in Bai Qiye's house, the people of Bai Qiye's family were not very sad, but the people of Bai Laoba's family were more angry with the people of Bai Qiye's family, because they suspected that the person who killed Bai Laoba was someone from Bai Qiye's family, and it was very likely that it was Bai Yu, or Mrs. Bai.
After Hua Lang and the others rushed to the backyard of Bai Qiye's house, they immediately ordered someone to fish up the head in the dry well, at this time the head had a faint rancid smell, and the skull was seriously damaged, but even so, they could still recognize it as Bai Laoba's head, and when Bai Laoba's family saw the head, they cried even more, and they were clamoring to Bao Zheng to arrest all the people of Bai Qiye's family.
Hua Lang didn't pay attention to the quarrel of these people, only carefully examined the head, and found that the back of the deceased's head was damaged, and he should have been killed by someone hitting the back of the head with a heavy object, and after the murderer hit the back of Bai Laoba's head, he used a sharp weapon to cut off Bai Laoba's head.
If so, a woman like Madame White is ruled out in the first place.
It's just that after excluding Madame White, who will the murderer be?
What did the murderer kill Bai Lao Bawei? That Bai Lao Ba and Bai Qi Ye know the secret of the Dao? Or is it to be the head of the village?
The more motives there are, the more complicated the case becomes.
