"This kind of fishing net comes from Lijiazhuang!"
Li Zheng and Han Xu spoke eloquently:
"Fifty miles away from our county government, there is a fishing village called Lijiazhuang. There are 130 fishermen living there, all of whom make a living by fishing. They are good at weaving this unique Bagua fishing net, and it is a unique skill passed down from their ancestors. It is absolutely It is not taught to the outside world, so this kind of fishing net only belongs to Lijia Village and does not exist in other villages!"
Okay, okay, Qin Tianming immediately applauded, gave a thumbs up and said:
"If this case is solved, Mr. Rizheng, you should take great credit,"
Li Zheng felt warm in his heart after being complimented in front of the imperial envoy, but he still didn't understand what Qin Tianming said about the broken fishing net and the murderer.
It's really embarrassing to be complimented but not know why.
Looking at the embarrassed Li Zheng, Qin Tianming continued to ask him:
"Are the fishermen in Lijia Village still there? How many of them went out or left Lijia Village?"
Han Xu happened to be in charge of the security of Lijia Village, so he knew the place very well, so he quickly said:
"As far as I know, there are a total of 130 households in Lijia Village. I recently heard that seven households of fishermen have stopped fishing and started other businesses. That's all."
Qin Tianming quickly asked:
"Do you know these people?"
Han Xu said confidently:
"I know Lijia Village very well. I wonder if your question is related to the real murderer?"
Qin Tianming did not answer immediately, but turned around and asked Judge Li Shitong:
"Master Li, I would like to ask you, when you found out that the victim was Yang Xiaocui, could you send someone to investigate her home?"
Li Shitong stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said:
"Yang Xiaocui was killed. Of course we had to send people to search her home. At that time, I remember that the people who went to search her home were the head catcher Li Tai and the steady wife Ma Ying. They were the ones who took the lead."
Qin Tianming said immediately:
"Then can I ask them about the scene at that time?"
"sure!"
Li Shitong hurriedly called Li Tai and Ma Ying to come forward and answer.
Li Tai was at least 1.9 meters tall, with a muscular build and an empty sleeve on his left arm. He looked at Qin Tianming with disdain.
Wenpo Ma Ying is like a green apple that is almost ripe and rotten, with wrinkles all over her face.
Qin Tianming looked up at Li Tai, who was tall and strong, and asked:
"Captain Li, do you remember that when you checked the scene of Yang Xiaocui's house, did you find anything unusual?"
Li Tai has no brains and no intelligence. He has no other skills except dancing with guns and sticks. He said angrily:
"Young man, just take care of people. I don't understand what you're asking about!"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Wenpo Ma Ying hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said:
"It's useless for you to ask this big boss about this matter. He and I went to Yang Xiaocui's house with a few detectives. After inquiring, we found out that Yang Xiaocui had left the Yang family a long time ago and was living alone outside. At that time, her house I inspected it."
Qin Tianming frowned and asked:
"Yang Xiaocui lives alone outside? Doesn't she have a husband's family? Why doesn't she live in her husband's family instead of living alone outside?"
Wenpo Ma Ying shook her head and said with disdain:
"Yang Xiaocui was originally married to a man, but her man died of cold a few years ago. Later, Yang Xiaocui did not follow the rules of women and hooked up with a scholar named Wang Yincai, which was disgraceful to the family tradition. Therefore, her husband's family issued a divorce letter. Kicked out of the house, so I live alone outside.”
"Wang Yincai? Where is this person now?"
Li Zheng Han Xu shook his head and interjected:
"Wang Yincai was originally a famous scholar in our Qandong County, but two years ago he met Yang Xiaocui by accident. The two often dated secretly. When someone found out, they even sued the county government. Because he was a scholar, the county government could not punish him. Therefore, he was given a verbal lesson and sent home. Perhaps because of his reputation for fooling around with Yang Xiaocui, he ran away from home and never saw anyone alive or dead, and there was no news for a long time."
Oh oh oh, Qin Tianming nodded and suddenly asked:
"What did Yang Xiaocui do for a living before he died?"
Stable mother-in-law Ma Ying once again said with disdain:
"What do you do for a living? How can she make a living? She was divorced by her husband's family. Her family also felt that she was an insult to the family tradition and did not accept her or provide her with financial aid. So she had no way of earning a living and had to sell herself to make a living."
Selling yourself to make a living?
Oh oh oh, Qin Tianming nodded and said to himself:
"I understand, I understand."
The county magistrate Gao Buwei didn't understand what Qin Tianming understood and asked:
"Qin Tianming, what do you understand? Do you think the scholar Wang Yin is the real murderer of Yang Xiaocui?"
Qin Tianming waved his hand and said:
"Wang Yincai is indeed suspected of killing Yang Xiaocui, but I dare not draw any conclusions without inspecting Yang Xiaocui's residence."
County Magistrate Gao looked at Qin Tianming and asked:
"You mean you want to inspect Yang Xiaocui's residence again?"
Qin Tianming immediately said:
"I have a plan, and we need to divide our troops into two groups!"
The county magistrate Gao Buwei was a little impatient, but Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple, said:
"Since Wu Abao has been ruled out and we need to find the real culprit, I would like to ask Qin Tianming to go and inspect Yang Xiaocui's residence. I hope we can apprehend the real culprit and bring him to justice as soon as possible! This way I can give an account to the Holy One."
Qin Tianming nodded and then said:
"I just said that we need to divide our troops into two groups. The first group is for me to take the stable mother-in-law Ma Ying and three or five detectives to inspect Yang Xiaocui's residence. The second group is for the leader Li Tai and Mr. Li Zheng Han Xu to lead a group of people to Li's residence. In Jia Village, they only need to bring all the male owners and village chiefs of the seven households who have switched to other businesses, I have something to ask them!"
After listening to the interrogation in the middle of the night, Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple, was already a little overworked and wanted to rest, so he ordered it to be done quickly according to Qin Tianming's instructions.
Li Tai took people to invite the seven families in Lijia Village, while Qin Tianming took Wen Po Ma Ying and quickly came to the place where Yang Xiaocui lived.
…
It turned out that Yang Xiaocui had switched her career to prostitution after being divorced by her husband's family. The madam in the business arranged a separate residence for her, which was a small courtyard with a small second floor.
This small second-floor residence is quiet and private, and few people know about it.
Ma Ying, the stable mother-in-law, asked for the house key from the old bustard, took Qin Tianming and a few detectives, and went directly to the second floor and came to Yang Xiaocui's boudoir.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaocui died less than a month ago. Because of the death, the madam did not rent Yang Xiaocui's house to her.
The house remains the same.
He went up to the second floor and opened the door of Yang Xiaocui's room. Qin Tianming first looked around and immediately smelled a faint stench.
Qin Tianming turned around and asked his mother-in-law Ma Ying:
"Did you smell anything unusual when you inspected this house?"
Wenpo Ma Ying recalled it and said:
"When I brought people to this house, we did smell a smell of urine. Because there is a toilet downstairs, directly opposite Yang Xiaocui's house above, we thought it was the smell coming from the toilet, so we didn't feel anything unusual."
Qin Tianming chuckled and said:
"It has been more than a month since Yang Xiaocui died. The toilet downstairs should not have been used for a long time, but the smell in her house is still very strong. This is definitely not the smell coming from the toilet!"
Wenpo Ma Ying was confused and asked:
"What do you mean?"
Qin Tianming ignored the confused Wen Po and ordered several arrests:
"Open Yang Xiaocui's bed, turn over her quilt, and inspect it carefully!"
Several detectives quickly opened the sheets and bedding that Yang Xiaocui had used during his lifetime. When the red bedding was opened, a strong smell of urine immediately entered everyone's mouth and nose.
The police officers were so smoked that they covered their mouths and noses and waved their hands to drive them away.
Qin Tianming leaned down and sniffed the bedding used by Yang Xiaocui with his nose. He nodded and said to himself:
"As expected!"
Wen Po hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but Qin Tianming ignored her and asked the policeman to open an embroidered stall on the ground.
Something surprising happened before our eyes.
Under the carpet, there were white maggots crawling, and they were still squirming.
Everyone was immediately confused and looked at Qin Tianming in a daze.
People have been dead for more than a month, why are there still maggots on the ground? What a weird thing!
Qin Tianming pointed to the ground and said to Po Wen and several policemen:
"Did you see that there are maggots under the carpet, and there are brown marks on the ground, which have seeped into the ground, indicating that blood has fallen here. If I am not wrong, this is the scene of the first crime!"
"But the door locks are all good,"
Po Wen's face was full of doubts. Just when she was about to ask a question, Qin Tianming said:
"Open the window, let's take a closer look at the window sill and we will understand."
The policeman quickly opened the window.
Everyone hurried forward to check, and sure enough, there were several footprints on the windowsill!
There has been no rain or wind recently, so the footprints have been preserved.
Qin Tianming looked at everyone and said:
"It's basically the same as I estimated. Under normal circumstances, acquaintances usually enter through the door instead of the window sill. Only bad guys enter through the window. Do you understand now?"
Everyone still doesn't understand.
Qin Tianming didn't wait for them to understand, and ordered him to return to the county government office immediately!
Back at the county government office, it was already early in the morning. The head catcher Li Tai and Li Zheng Han Xu had already brought the village chief and all the male protagonists of the seven households back to the county government office to stand by.
Although the male heads of these seven households have changed their careers, they have not left Qiandong County. They have just changed their careers to other businesses, so it is very easy to find them.
The site survey has been completed, the villagers have been brought, everything is ready, all that is left is the east wind.
Qin Tianming only waited for the minister of Dali Temple and the county magistrate Gao Buwei to go to court to hear the case.
A breakthrough has been made in the case. Without these two adults, there would be no glorious moment! ?
After a while, the minister of Dali Temple and the county magistrate came slowly after eating and drinking, and then ordered a court hearing!
Qin Tianming took the lead and asked Li Tai to bring up Li Laoer, the head of Lijia Village.
To crack the case, Li Laoer's confession is crucial.
Li Laoer was a little flustered.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of being interrogated by the county government in the middle of the night?
Qin Tianming went up to comfort Li Laoer and said:
"Li Laoer, don't be nervous. This case has nothing to do with you. I just want to ask you a few questions. Let me ask you whether the seven households of villagers who were brought here with you are all from before Lijia Village. A fisherman?”
The village chief, Li Laoer, nodded and said repeatedly:
"These seven people are indeed the same people who used to fish in our village, there is no doubt about it!"
Qin Tianming nodded and continued to ask:
"Do you know if they were familiar with the deceased Yang Xiaocui? This is very important. You must tell the truth, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
