Chapter 314: Identifying the Body
Huoda explained the reason, "That's because those people don't dare to report the crime at all. A year ago, there was a merchant named Zhou Quan, who was upright and jealous, and he also had more than a dozen thugs under him, all of whom were skilled in martial arts, but Zhou Quan did not agree to pay the protection fee, and in less than a cup of tea, all his men were knocked to the ground by the thugs of the Iron Lion Tower. Ximen He, the owner of the Iron Lion Tower, was personally in charge, and he sat in the courtyard of Zhou Quan, and ordered his men to dig a big pit one person deep, and bury Zhou Quan alive on the spot. Zhou Quan didn't believe that Ximen He dared to bury him alive in broad daylight, so he refused to pay protection money. In the end, when Zhou Quan's body only had two nostrils left to breathe out and his mouth to speak, he knew that this Ximen He was not just talking, he really dared to bury himself alive. Zhou Quan had no choice but to agree to give Ximen He double the protection fee. ”
Song Ruilong was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and said, "Is there any royal law here?"
Huoda also said angrily: "My lord, if you can't bring Ximen He down, Xiaomin advises the adults not to touch him."
Song Ruilong said firmly: "This county not only wants to bring him down, but also let him be punished as he deserves."
Huo Da's face was happy, and he said: "My lord has this determination, which is the blessing of the people of Ping'an County." Xiaomin will tell the adults about Wu Fengchun. A month ago, Xiaomin discovered that Ximen He often sneaked into Pan Cuiping's house when Wu Fengchun went out to sell baked cakes. That Ximen He would buy thousands of baked cakes every time, in order to drag Wu Fengchun's people, and he would be happy with Pan Cuiping. Last night, just after dinner, Xiao Min saw that Ximen He entered Pan Cuiping's house again, and Xiao Min knew that the pair of dog men and women must be ** again. So Xiaomin found Wu Fengchun. At that time, Wu Fengchun was coming out of Fuping Lane, and when he heard Xiaomin say this, he was still angry and said, Are you lying to me, if you dare to lie to me, I will take your skin off."
Wu Fengchun pulled out the dagger in his hand. I took it in my hand and went straight home. But this time he went back, he never came out, and in the morning it came the news that he had a distressed illness and died. My lord, do you believe this? ”
Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "In other words, this Wu Fengchun's death is very suspicious, and this county will find out." But there's one more thing the county wants to ask you. Song Ruilong took a piece of jade pendant in the shape of a mouse in his hand and let Huoda look at it, "Do you know whose jade pendant it is?" ”
Huoda took the jade pendant and put it in the palm of his hand. He tilted his neck back and said: "This jade pendant is engraved with a mouse, and the mouse's stomach is a 'spring' character, if I guess correctly, this jade pendant is Wu Fengchun's." I don't know where you got your jade pendant? ”
Song Ruilong took the jade pendant back into his hand and said, "This jade pendant was obtained at Hou Baoping's home. Hou Baoping's wife was strangled to death in her room last night. This jade pendant fell to the scene of the crime. ”
"Oh, I see." Huoda thought for a while and said, "Do you suspect that Wu Fengchun did it?" ”
"Hmm" Song Ruilong nodded and said, "I heard that it was last night." You were in Fuping Lane when you met Wu Fengchun, and that time also happened to be the time when Hou Baoping's wife Yuan Mingyue was killed. When Wu Fengchun saw you, how did he look, and did he say anything to you? ”
"Hey" Huoda sighed and said, "Now that this Wu Fengchun is dead, I don't care about his reputation." When Wu Fengchun was alive, he often mentioned Yuan Mingyue's matter to Xiaomin. Yuan Mingyue is like a bright moon in the sky. There is the beauty of flowers and moonlight, and her beauty is mixed with a kind of morbid beauty, just like Xi Shi's belly. It is not so much that Wu Fengchun is distressed, but that Mingyue is distressed this month. If Yuan Mingyue's heart hurts, a very intoxicating feeling will appear on her face. It felt like a gust of wind blowing off the blooming spring flowers, and the spring breeze carried a faint fragrance, making people want to hold her in their arms. That Wu Fengchun once held Yue Mingyue in his arms. ”
Song Ruilong said in surprise: "Could it be that this Wu Fengchun and this Yuan Mingyue really have something ulterior?" ”
Huoda shook his head and said: "That Wu Fengchun has that lustful heart, he doesn't have that lustful courage, although he has coveted Yuan Mingyue for a long time, but he has never had that opportunity, and he doesn't have that courage." Besides, Yuan Mingyue can be regarded as a person who cherishes fame, so he has never given his body to Wu Fengchun. When Wu Fengchun first met Xiaomin last night, he also said, it's really unlucky, I thought I could do a big job tonight, but who knows, just slapped Yuan Mingyue in the face, then Yuan Mingyue's dead husband came back, fortunately I ran fast, otherwise, I would definitely become a turtle in the urn. ”
"I didn't ask Wu Fengchun what he meant by those words. However, I told him that while you were playing with someone else's wife, your wife was being played with by someone else. After Wu Fengchun heard this, he clenched his hand into a fist, took out a dagger in his boots, and said Is it that Ximen He? I said exactly, I advised him to be more careful, Simon congratulated us and we couldn't afford to provoke him. Wu Fengchun didn't listen, he said that even if he fought for his life, he would kill Ximen He. Then he ran back to his house. But since he returned, he hasn't gotten up. ”
"Thank you!" Song Ruilong got up and said to Huoda: "Your news is very important to us, let's go to Wu Fengchun's house to open the coffin for an autopsy." ”
Huoda said excitedly: "Assisting the government in handling the case is what each of our people should do, if the adults need to do anything for the small people in the process of handling the case, just ask." ”
Song Ruilong suddenly thought of something and said to Huo Da: "Huo Da, what is your impression of Yuan Mingyue's people?" The county wants you to recognize someone. ”
Huoda said: "Oh, I still have some impressions, if I let her stand here, I can still recognize it."
Song Ruilong took Huoda to the morgue.
Zhang Meixian lifted the white cloth on Yuan Mingyue's body, showed it to Huoda, and said, "Do you recognize this deceased?"
Although the deceased was also a woman, his face had been smashed with a blunt object, and there was no skin on his face intact.
Looking at the deceased's arm again, her arm was sleek and delicate, not at all like the rough skin that a person like Yuan Mingyue who often showed up should have. (To be continued......)
