There are usually three reasons for decapitating a corpse.
One is that in the old days, some bounty-earning killers would cut off their heads and bring them to their employers to prove that they had completed the task and get the bounty.
In this case, not only the head is taken, but some people also cut off the hands, feet, or parts of the body that can prove their identity.
The second is that after someone kills someone, they don’t want people to identify the deceased, so they cut off the head that can most directly prove the identity and take it away. This will make it difficult for people to investigate later.
There is another way of thinking that is more in line with the murderer they met today, and that is revenge.
As the saying goes, every injustice has its own owner, and many murders out of revenge will express their attitude by taking away the other party's head.
But, if it was really Mr. Lin who was in the pickle jar, why did the murderer only think that Mr. Lin and the young master were "just wronged"?
It's not something suitable for a detective to say. Isn't the old man's head worthy of being chopped off?
Or is it that there are too many brains and you can’t transport them all at once?
Liang Yuanque felt a little pain in his temple. After working hard, he still only had doubts and endless questions about the case.
He pinched his eyebrows to relieve his physical discomfort, held up the Jade Buddha and asked Xiao Linzi,
"Is this material produced in the jade mine in Yuzhen?"
Xiao Linzi came up and took a careful look.
"Well, how do I know this? I just work and wait for others. I have never been to the mines."
Well, if you don’t know what you ask, what’s the use of asking him.
As the scorching sun burned, Liang Yuanque felt irritated in his heart. He waved his hand, not wanting to check on the second young lady anymore, so he said to Xiao Linzi,
"Let's bury it back first."
Xiao Linzi made no move and stared at the Jade Buddha in his hand.
"Sir, won't you put that thing in?"
"There is evil in this thing. I have to investigate it before I put it back." Liang Yuanque said and put the Jade Buddha away.
"But, old lady..."
Xiao Linzi wanted to bring out the old lady to suppress him again, but Liang Yuanque directly covered his mouth with her muddy hands.
"Whatever I say is what I say. If you have any questions, I'll explain it to the old lady. Just do it. Do you understand?"
If Liang Yuanque deliberately wanted to suppress someone, there would be few people who would not be afraid of his aura.
What's more, at this moment, he was very agitated due to fatigue and discomfort, and his whole body seemed to be exuding a black energy that was invisible but difficult to ignore.
Xiao Linzi originally thought that he should be an easy-to-talk person, but now he was frightened by his change. He nodded obediently and obeyed without any further objection.
And his uncontrollable unhappiness was noticed by Zhuang Youjie.
He knew that he would be extremely irritable when he felt unwell, so he also felt that Liang Yuanque was definitely feeling more uncomfortable inside than he showed at this moment.
Several times, he wanted to persuade him to leave. He wanted to take him to the hospital first.
But he knew that Aqiao was a person who was very dedicated to handling cases. The investigation of this case had already begun, and the possibility of letting him withdraw midway was very low.
The only thing he can do is to solve the case as soon as possible. Young Master Zhuang really hates his own incompetence right now.
Although there was progress, it was too slow. By the time he could keep up with Liang Yuanque's thinking, Liang Yuanque would probably be old enough to have a family full of children and grandchildren.
Xiaolinzi went to backfill, and Liang Yuanque found a shady place to rest. Looking down from the hillside, there were not many people at the bottom of the mountain.
Zhuang Youjie also came over and asked softly, "Why haven't I seen you taking medicine in the past few days?"
In fact, during their long relationship with each other before, Zhuang Youjie never noticed when Liang Yuanque was taking medicine.
But he felt that he couldn't just carry a bunch of pills and practice running with weights every day. It wasn't until he started to pay attention to his condition that he discovered that he would always swallow the pills as quickly as possible in situations and times when avoiding people.
There were also those paper packets that Zhuang Youjie thought were traditional Chinese medicine, but they actually contained pills of moderate size. Unfortunately, after falling into the water, most of the pills melted.
Zhuang Youjie also asked how he learned to swallow pills quickly without even needing water.
Liang Yuanque only said that he had been taking medicine for a long time and was used to it.
Considering his explanation and his age, couldn't this guy have been soaking in medicine jars since he was a child?
Well, Sister Lin is a very difficult person to deal with. “I’ve been taking medicine since I knew how to eat.”
Liang Yuanque didn't want to be troublesome. Telling the truth would definitely cause Zhuang Youjie to worry, so he smiled and pretended to be relaxed,
"I avoided you and didn't let you see me."
Zhuang Youjie always believed in Liang Yuanque unconditionally, and he also knew that Liang Yuanque had this ability. Although he was a little unhappy, he still believed in him.
Xiao Linzi worked hard to finish filling the soil, and his arms only felt sore, numb, and swollen. He gasped and said to Liang Yuanque,
"First, sir, that's all."
Liang Yuanque didn't care how the grave was filled up again, he just stood up and patted the soil on his body.
"Okay, let's go to the next place."
Xiao Linzi and Zhuang Youjie were both shocked at the same time. Zhuang Youjie pulled him.
"Why don't you take a break? It's already noon!"
Liang Yuanque had his own plan in mind, "It's summer now, and the sun will kill people in the afternoon, so it's better to fight quickly."
Xiao Linzi didn't refuse, so he nodded, "Okay, but sir, the second lady's graveyard is a bit far from here, and it will take a while to get there."
"Will you pass by the place where the second young master's young master fell and died on the way?" Liang Yuanque asked the question directly.
Xiao Linzi was stunned when he asked, "Ah, if you want to see it, I can take you there."
"Okay, let's go from there." Liang Yuanque nodded casually, his tone not allowing for rejection.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Xiao Linzi's face, but he still agreed, "After that..."
"Then I will go to the deserted grave where the second grandfather's body was found, and the second lady's grave for the last time."
Liang Yuanque raised his eyebrows as he spoke, "Lead the way."
In fact, he already had a complete set of speculations about the second young lady's death, and he just needed to confirm it one last time.
He speculated that the second lady's death actually had nothing to do with the murderer's revenge, or that it had little to do with it.
He now has to race against time to handle the case as quickly as possible, so he has to prioritize what he has to do in his mind.
Having a proper plan in mind can greatly improve the efficiency of doing things and prevent you from running around like a headless fly.
Marching under the scorching sun was much more uncomfortable than when we went out in the morning. After walking only a few steps, all three of us were covered in sweat.
Zhuang Youjie was used to sitting in the office. When he was busy, he had no time to exercise at all, so his physique was very average, and he was panting behind them.
"Huh, no, I can't do it anymore, Ah Que, wait for me, come over and help me..."
Liang Yuanque sighed deeply and turned around to support him. Just as they were about to stand down and rest for a while, they heard a terrified scream from Xiao Linzi who was walking in front.
Liang Yuanque hurriedly turned his head to look, but the path ahead was empty. Where was Xiao Linzi's figure?
