It was within this county town where they rested.
The third victim's name was Liang Qiuyu. When the accident happened, it was also when the sky was getting brighter.
She is the married daughter of a small merchant.
The age at the time of death was 23 years old. Married to a small vendor who sells tofu.
The couple gets up at midnight every day to make tofu. When it's still dark, the husband goes to prepare for the stall, and the wife stays at home alone, packing up the leftovers, cleaning, etc.
People who were busy inside and outside the courtyard had to cook bean dregs, dry beans and so on.
Suddenly someone covered his mouth and nose...
The murderer attacked her from behind and stabbed her throat. This time, only one knife was used.
But I pulled it back and forth forcefully. This left repeated marks on the throat bones.
The murderer at this time has become increasingly mature.
However, I still lacked some confidence, so I swiped a little more.
After that, the murderer laid the victim's body down and cut off the victim's two chests. Most of it is cutting, less of it is chopping. And the murder weapon was polished much sharper. With almost no effort, the two pieces of soft tissue on the victim's body were cut off.
The first two victims had their sternums scratched when their chests were cut. Starting from the third victim, the scars left on the sternum were very few, and they were almost just scratches.
The scars left on the face of the third victim were evenly applied. There was no sign of one knife being particularly heavy or one being particularly light.
The murder weapon used by the first victim and murderer was most likely a dagger;
The murder weapon used by the second victim and the murderer was a bone-cutting knife;
The third murder weapon is most likely a kitchen knife.
The murderer kept changing the weapon used in the murder, which means that it is very likely that he would discard the murder weapon after committing the murder.
Even if you clean up the bloodstains on such an object after committing a crime, and then throw it away, it may be picked up by someone.
The person who picked it up won’t tell it yet...
Nowadays, a copper coin can buy two steamed buns or a meat bun. Who would not pick up something like this? Who will tell if I picked it up?
As for hearing about the death...heh, it's none of their business.
Even if you suspect that what you picked up is the murder weapon, you won't be too scared. At worst, boil it in boiling water. There will be no more discomfort mentally and physically. After all, survival is difficult, and needles, threads and brains are precious.
If you want to be more confident...you can also use chopped pigweed. After all, you can save some money, right? It's still so sharp and easy to use, right?
These are all human common sense.
After hearing what the adults said, Xie Jing was speechless for a long time. Then I went to inquire about the news.
But this time, you don’t need to get covered in dirt. You just need to change into something simple and simple, and dress up like someone who has a little bit of money at home.
There were many people like this in the county, and Xie Jing was clean-looking and had a pleasant smile, so it was easy to get the news out.
Anyway, everyone likes to talk about right and wrong, especially about big events where people died. Years later, they can still talk about it with gusto. Although there is a great possibility that it will become beyond recognition.
When Di Ying was young, Grandma Di was already old. When telling stories to Di Ying, she often mentioned things that Grandma Di had heard or seen when she was a child.
Human memory is so strange.
In this way, Di Ying and the four of them ran around from village to village, town to county, following the situation of each victim.
After visiting all the villages, towns and counties in Xuzhou's boundaries, I returned to the government office.
Yi Yongsi has already delivered all the food.
Those shipped to Weizhou were handed over to Fang Bin for processing.
When it was transported to Jizhou, the governor of Jizhou was so moved that he gave Yi Yongsi a few pieces of jade and antiques from his collection.
Yi Yongsi had no choice but to accept it and bring it back.
When Di Ying arrived, Yi Yongsi was in the study, wiping and admiring the few items. He couldn't put them down.
"Huaijie, are you back? Come on, come on, let's take a look at these good things given by the new governor of Jizhou. I'm still thinking about where to put them."
Yi Yongsi liked these, and the new governor of Jizhou seemed to have inquired about them, so he went along with them.
More than half of the officials of the country like these antiques, jades, ornaments and the like.
After all, everyone’s house layout is similar. There are treasure racks in the main hall, the flower hall for entertaining guests, in every master's room, in the study, etc.
That is a must-have item for partitioning a side room.
Then the grid above cannot be left empty, right? How ugly, right? So some ornamental objects will be placed.
But the price of the counterfeit or worthless items has dropped again, right? So they all like to play around with real things.
Antique calligraphy and paintings must also be hung on the walls. The more precious and rare it is, the more it reflects the taste and identity of the owner.
Yi Yongsi is also a third-rank official and has been an official in the court for decades. It is not surprising at all that he likes these things.
But after Di Ying received Yi Yongsi's invitation to appreciate it and stepped forward to carefully observe the objects, he scratched the corners of his eyes.
He asked aloud: "Can I break them?"
Yi Yongsi: "..."
When he heard Di Ying's words, he almost dropped the jade bottle he was wiping and dropped it to the ground.
He stared at Di Ying speechlessly for a long time.
Then he asked: "Have I offended you? No matter how difficult it is to investigate those serial cases, at most you will be like me and keep them in your heart for the rest of your life. You won't hold a grudge against me because of this and want to throw away my precious things, right?" If you really want to vent your anger... How about I give you a few more ships to send to Weizhou?"
Di Ying: "..."
After choking, he waved his hands and said: "No, no, the people of Weizhou will build the ships themselves."
After saying that, he looked serious and asked seriously: "Brother Yi, you really need to ask the guy in Jizhou where he got these items."
Yi Yongsi's face was full of doubts.
Then he carefully placed the objects in his hands back on the table, and then asked in a low voice: "Is this the wrong way?"
If it was really something with shady origins, how could the Jizhou governor give it to him as a return gift? This is not a thank you, this is a trap, right? It's still the kind of trick that makes you lose your security at the end of the year.
Yi Yongsi was a little angry.
Di Ying didn't make a sound, raised her hand, and quickly pulled something to the ground.
"Crack!"...It suddenly shattered to pieces.
Yi Yongsi's old heart was shattered.
He clutched his chest and looked at the person in front of him who made him "heartbroken" with an outrageous look.
My lips were trembling with anger, and I really wanted to curse, but I couldn't make a sound.
