The murderer really didn't mess around. The second victim only received three cuts; the third victim, two cuts; the fourth and last victim all received one cut.
Except for the six children, those who did not die from having their throats cut were from being stabbed in the heart. Some are in front and some are behind.
Maybe the murderer wants to change his tactics occasionally. But there is only one knife.
Preliminary speculation: The murderer should have tested animals before killing. Including stabbing someone in the heart, I also practiced it.
Otherwise, when it hits someone's heart, it shouldn't be so accurate. After all, the murderer had already matured his experience in cutting throats at that time.
Facing the death of the victim, I will no longer be so panicked and afraid.
Thinking of this, when arriving at the entrance of Tianmen Village, Di Ying asked Peng, Zhou and Xie to follow him secretly because their appearance and temperament were really outstanding.
Di Ying doesn't need to disguise herself. He is already a fat middle-aged man in his thirties. His smile is gentle and not conspicuous.
Just like that, he knocked on Si Yanhui's mother-in-law's door with a smile.
It's half an afternoon, that is, after taking a nap, you get up to drink water and prepare to go to the ground.
There are people in the courtyard.
The courtyard doors are all open.
Di Ying knocked on the half-open door.
A young woman about 22 years old came out of the kitchen with a basin of water in her hand. Hearing the knock on the door, he turned sideways and looked over.
Asked "Who are you looking for?"
Di Ying quickly glanced at the young woman up and down, then greeted with a smile: "Hello, sister. I'm passing by. Can I ask for a bowl of water?"
Di Ying felt that her appearance as a middle-aged and amiable fat uncle was very lovable. Especially among the common people, he is particularly popular.
Most people would never become suspicious if they saw him like this. After all, he also looks upright, right? Although he's not overly handsome, he's also good-looking, so it shouldn't make people reject him.
But, today I saw something weird.
When she heard that she wanted to ask for water, the young woman frowned and said, "Go to another house and ask."
After saying that, he took the water and walked towards the east wing.
There was a cloth hanging on the edge of the basin, obviously waiting for someone to wash their face.
If you wash your hands, you won't use so much water. The water surface is still slightly steaming, so it should be used to cleanse the face.
You entered the east wing, not the main room. There is a high probability that the person inside who needs cleaning is the husband-in-law of this young woman.
But obviously...
It is stated in the case: Si Yanhui only has two uncles and two sisters-in-law, but no brother-in-law.
In other words: this family has two sons and two daughters, and Si Yanhui's husband is the youngest son in the family.
Si Yanhui was 25 years old when she was killed. Her father-in-law is 27 years old. Seven years and two months have passed, and her husband, Yu Yangbo, should be 34 years old now.
Who will be the husband-in-law of this 22-year-old young woman?
Rural people rarely take concubines. Looking at the young woman's skirt, a pair of red underwear is exposed at the hem, which also shows that she is not a concubine.
Moreover, the Yu family is not very wealthy, so how can they afford a concubine?
Di Ying's mind was racing, and then she thanked her and left the courtyard gate.
If someone doesn't let him in, he won't force him to go in. Unless you reveal your identity.
But Di Ying doesn't want to "snatch the enemy" prematurely yet.
What if the murderer heard that Di Ying was here and ran away? What should I do if I go somewhere else to commit a crime?
Di Ying would not bet on that eventuality.
After he turned around and left, he walked to the outer corner of the courtyard wall, squatted there, and pondered.
Nowadays, girls who are 15 and hair-cut usually get married at 16 years old. That young woman has had the experience of giving birth to a child. If she is Yu Yangbo's successor...
In other words, there is a high probability that Yu Yangbo would marry such a beautiful girl the year after Si Yanhui's death.
Then at this age, it is appropriate.
But why would a pretty little girl want to marry someone so much older than herself or give someone a second marriage?
It seems that Yu Yangbo is still relatively lazy, and the young woman still has to wait on him. Are you so wronged by that little woman? What is the little woman trying to figure out?
There were also scars on the young woman's wrists, which were obviously caused by strong grasping. There are also pinch marks exposed on his neck, both old and new...
Does Yu Yangbo have a bad habit of being violent to his wife?
Thinking of this, Di Ying was actually quite helpless. Men in almost every household have the habit of taking it out on their wives.
Either a kick, a pinch, or a slap. This is considered light. The heavier thing is to hit more and kick more.
In these matters, relatively speaking, the larger the family, the less. Because in marriage, it is important to be well-matched. The wife also has a background and cannot do anything rashly.
And there are servants to vent to.
At most, it's just a slap if you're angry. After the slap, you have to think carefully about the consequences.
But the marks on the young woman's body were a bit heavy.
The reason why Di Ying did not completely believe that it was her husband who moved his hands was because the scars on those locations might have been left by his mother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, etc.
Although the mark of the scar showed that it was a man's palm. But we can't be completely sure about this.
After all, there are many people in this family, including both men and women.
Some things are not so sensible, just like some people are not so sensible.
After Di Ying figured it out, she got up and knocked on the neighbor's open door.
In the courtyard was an aunt in her forties, who was calling two old hens to eat.
Hearing a knock on the door and hearing that it was a passerby who wanted to ask for a drink of water, he enthusiastically gave in.
"There is water, and there happens to be some boiled water to keep warm. It will be sent to the fields for them to drink later. I will go and pour a bowl for you. You can sit in the yard and rest first."
With that said, he went to the kitchen and quickly brought out a bowl of warm water. Then go feed the chickens.
Di Ying took a big gulp, almost tilting her neck and pouring it down, and then she stretched out the empty bowl to her aunt, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Auntie, Can you get me another bowl? I’m really thirsty.”
"Okay, wait."
Seeing that the man was really thirsty, the aunt went to the kitchen, took out the kettle, put it on the table, and asked the man to drink and pour it by himself.
With this second bowl, Di Ying slowed down and drank in small sips.
And the aunt asked about him. "Brother, seeing you look like this with thirst, where did you come from and where are you going? Even though your body is old, it is not torn or patched. You are living a good life, right?"
