With all kinds of questions, Di Ying and the others rushed to the village where the second victim lived.
It was not far from the village where the first victim lived. They are called Yongyuan Village and Hotanmen Village, and they are diagonally opposite to the north and south, with a village in between. The three villages form a triangle.
The second victim was named Xi Shanshan. He was 28 years old at the time of the murder. He is about 163 cm tall and weighs about 40 kg. On the thin side.
Xi Shanshan gave birth to five children, the first four were girls and the last one was a boy. Xi Shanshan was killed when the boy was one year and two months old.
The place where he was killed was by the river at the end of the village, where village women wash their clothes every day.
When villagers drink water, they usually take water from the village head. If you wash clothes or take out sewage, you go to the end of the village.
There is usually a stream or river passing by the village.
Where there is water, there will be trees, and where there are trees and water, it is easier to live together.
Therefore, the place where Xi Shanshan was killed naturally had woods.
Walking out of the end of the village, passing through a small forest, you arrived at the river. The river is not deep, about one and a half meters.
There are some polished stones placed in the shallow water by the river. Those were used by village women to sit on while doing laundry. They were the ones who moved it there themselves.
Seven years and one month have passed. Time has washed away all traces.
Di Ying found a stone and sat down facing the river with his back.
Looking at the slanting sunset, he sent Peng Liang and Zhou Lin to sit in the tree and waited quietly.
During this time, some village women will go out of the village to wash clothes.
Xi Shanshan was killed here during this time period.
However, on the day of her death, it was raining lightly. Except for her, no one came out to do the laundry, so no one saw what happened.
Xi Shanshan was stabbed in the heart from back to front with a knife. Based on the scars on his back and sternum, it can be judged that the murderer's knife was actually a bit off.
But because it was stabbed in the heart, Xi Shanshan still died. Afterwards, his chest was cut off and his face was stabbed twice.
These two stabs also show that the murderer is gradually becoming more courageous. He cut very hard, as if to prove his courage.
But it didn't cut very accurately. In other words, the four pieces of graphics cut out are not uniform.
The sword from left to right is lighter and shorter.
You're still a little panicked after all, right?
Si Yanhui's chest was almost chopped off several times; Xi Shanshan's chest was cut more often than not.
Xi Shanshan's feet hit the river water and she fell here. The blood flowed into the river and was ruthlessly taken away like her life.
This village has not been affected by her death at all, so it will be left as it is.
So far, her four daughters have all been married, and none of them have done well. They were all married off around the age of 15. They all married into villages in other counties.
Di Ying guessed that Xi Shanshan's life at her husband's house would not be easy. And it will also become a vent for the husband's family and a punching bag for the husband's father-in-law. And the four daughters she gave birth to were naturally the targets of contempt.
Loving parents will not be willing to sell their children, let alone marry them off casually.
Most of those who get married like that do so in exchange for money as bride price.
Sure enough, after Di Ying chatted with the laundry village woman and Xie Jing inquired and summarized everything.
It proved that what Di Ying expected was true.
Xi Shanshan is also a woman who has been bullied by her husband for many years. However, her husband's family was poor and had a small population. After her death, her husband-in-law married a thirty-year-old widow from the same village six months later.
As a result, in addition to marrying in with three children, the widow also gave birth to two more daughters.
Di Ying sighed.
Here are two more girls who are about to die.
Thinking about the same unfortunate experiences of Si Yanhui and Xi Shanshan, Di Ying was wondering on the way back: Is this just a coincidence?
Speaking of the strangers who passed by Yongyuan Village that day, there were a few strangers, but they were all different from the old woman in black cloth and the tall and short men.
The stranger who passed by Yongyuan Village was a man about thirty years old who was also about 162 centimeters tall, with a short waist and a short back.
The other few have normal height and weight, nothing special about them. The height difference is also larger than 162 cm.
Don't ask how Xie Jing found out his height of 162 centimeters. He made gestures with people. As I said before, people in this world are generally taller.
Many women in the village are around this height. When Xie Jing asked them for information, he only needed to compare their heights.
Xie Jing himself was 180 centimeters tall, so Di Ying drew a line on him and he compared it and found out.
Those women may not know what 162 centimeters means, but they can always tell it if they are about the same height as themselves.
Women, regardless of their age, are always very concerned about their appearance. Maybe they won't remember each other's voice, but what do they think the other person looks like? The high probability is: it doesn’t look good.
What about your height? Oops, almost the same as me. A little shorter than me.
How about fat or thin? Oops, are you fatter than me? Or maybe he's a little thinner than me, like a fat man.
In short, when asking women for information, you must pay special attention to how to filter the answers you really want from their answers.
The simplest way is: ask a few more people. Ask a few tall, short, fat and thin people who are relatively large.
Di Ying taught Xie Jing how to inquire.
But here comes the question, which one of the several strangers passing by Yongyuan Village is suspicious?
There are people who are similar in height to the old woman in black cloth, but the age gap is huge.
There are people who weigh the same as her, but are a little different in height.
There are some similarities with the two tall and short men, but otherwise they are quite different.
This is...
Very head-scratching.
Di Ying and the others stayed in the county inns belonging to these villages.
After eating a bowl of hot noodle soup, Di Ying used the paper, pen and ink tube he brought with him to draw the images of all the strangers he found.
Although some people did not have their faces painted, their approximate height, weight, and what they were wearing were all marked.
Xie Jing was amazed when he saw it, and then he followed suit.
Xie Jing is a child who is very easy to learn, and he is very good at learning the six arts of a gentleman. His master really put all his effort into training the three of them.
It’s just that Zhou Lin focuses on learning martial arts and doesn’t do anything else. As pure as Wujin Stone.
Wei Zhima, he learns everything, and the more he learns, the more complex and complex it becomes, and the more he learns, the less true it is.
Xie Jing also learned everything, but he learned almost everything well. But...including martial arts, none of them are top-notch. It can only be considered second place.
Zhou Lin once said to him: "Second child"
The kind that lasts forever.
Xie Jing didn't take it seriously either. He thought this was good. He has an easy-going nature, a very relaxed and comfortable person, and is not competitive.
What's more, when it comes to martial arts, he and Zhou Lin are almost the same. And his brain is much more flexible than Zhou Lin's.
When Di Ying saw that Xie Jing was willing to learn, he taught him in detail.
When it was getting dark the next day, several people rushed to the place where the third victim lived.
where is it?
