Wen Xiaojun's eyes were deep, "This is the first time Mother Su has found the Wang Family Courtyard, and she found Su Xuexin's residence under the guidance of others. Although it normally only takes half a day to get there, how could she not eat in this half day?" No drink or rest?
So when she found her son's residence, it took almost a whole day.
Then she ran directly into the scene of her son's tragic death. Naturally, she should have been crying and mourning. After going back and forth with the Yamen all night, I set out at dawn the next day. I ate along the way and bought a lot of tools for revenge. I returned to the Wang Family Courtyard with perfect accuracy without anyone else to guide me. . It should have taken longer than the first time, but in fact the two journeys took almost the same amount of time.
This seems reasonable on the surface, but if you dig deeper, you will know that this was almost impossible for Su's mother at that time. "
"But the testimony of the witness is there," Yinnuo analyzed with surprise and uncertainty, "There are only two possibilities. One is that the witness told a lie, and the other is that the witness told a lie." It’s the truth. But if it’s true, it goes against Mother Su’s advice.”
Wen Xiaojun's expression became more solemn, "I am more inclined to the second possibility. Su's mother told a lie. She did not go down the mountain alone. There was an invisible transparent person hiding beside her. This person helped her find it. Road, hurry up and help her take care of everything in the unfamiliar Teng County."
A huge drop of sweat immediately dripped from Yinnuo's forehead. He stared straight at Wen Xiaoyun, full of surprise, "A transparent person who is invisible? Only Su's mother knows, doesn't anyone else know?"
Wen Xiaoyun bit her lip and her brain was working rapidly, "This person has never appeared in the sight of the government or the people around the crime scene, otherwise it would have been recorded by the government. Later, when he ran back to the palace from the crime scene to take revenge, He must also have deliberately avoided the eyes of the world.”
Yinnuo: "Who could that be?"
Wen Xiaoyun shook her head, "I dare not make a direct conclusion now. I need further evidence to support my guess." She raised her head and continued the previous topic, "Now, there is one last question left. Can the servants of the palace be... Did you find out and testify? What was Su’s mother’s attitude after she was arrested?”
Yinnuo raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, recalled briefly, and continued: "The dismissed servant of the Wang Family Villa did not appear in court to testify, because after finding the murderer Su Mu, all parties felt that the case was very clear. There is no need to look for other irrelevant witnesses.
The most important testimony in Wang Baoyan's murder case was that of the Wang family's neighbor woman. After discovering Wang Baoyan's body, Tengxian County Yamen began to look around for various suspicious signs. It didn't take much effort to ask the question to the woman's head.
Based on her testimony, the Tengxian County Yamen quickly pinned the suspicion on an old woman who bumped into her while hurriedly carrying a package of bows and arrows in her mouth.
After that, Magistrate Wang hurried to Teng County with a few of us detectives. Wearing cat ears and a big beard, I went around to inquire about information, and finally captured Su's mother who was staying in a Taoist temple.
After Su's mother was arrested, she straightforwardly explained all the details of the case, and then hanged herself in prison without waiting for the yamen to be convicted and sentenced. "
At the end of the sentence, Yin Nuo let out a long sigh, "Even if the prefect Wang personally went to Teng County to supervise the handling of the case, he didn't find any flaws in it at that time."
"By the way," Wen Xiaoyun asked again, "What about uncle? Didn't he come to Teng County at that time?"
Yin Nuo shook his head, "My father was investigating the case elsewhere at the time. When he received the urgent letter from the Wang Prefect and returned to the city, the case was already closed."
Wen Xiaoyun lowered his head and pondered, "This case is far from as simple as it appears on the surface."
Yin Nuo grabbed Wen Xiaoyun's arm and asked urgently: "What are your guesses? There is no one else around now, so don't be pretentious and just tell me."
Wen Xiaoyun raised her hand and patted Yin Nuo's hand in a comforting manner, then got straight to the point, "My inference starts from Mother Su's motives.
Of course, Su's mother had a strong motive for killing, but why didn't she leave more traces of impulsive killing on Wang Baoyan's body? And why would you risk being discovered by others and put the body into the well with great effort? "
Yinnuo held Wen Xiaoyun's hand with his backhand and said with some excitement: "These two issues may seem unrelated, but they are actually the same issue.
After finding out the truth behind Su's mother's corpse, it becomes clear why she chose this method of killing. "
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes were also a little excited, "Yes, that's it.
Let's start with the act of sinking corpses. There are generally two motives for immersing corpses in well water. The first is to hide the body and hide the traces of the murder, so as to delay the reaction of the world and buy yourself as much time as possible to escape.
The second method is to use the cold properties of well water to preserve the body and conceal the true time of death. "
