Chapter 208 Looking for the Murderer
"Let's go and have a look." It is useless to encourage Ji Liunian.
"We still suggest you don't think it's better. She died a scary death. If you want to know something, just ask me." The barefoot doctor said.
"Let's go in and have a look." I didn't think that people died yesterday. No matter how horrible it is, it can't be as horrible as the flesh and blood of the battlefield.
"Then it's light." The township appointment seems to be a little angry.
"Let's go in." Ji Liunian went in with Wei Bai, and the prince also went in.
"Wow, my mother, what a horrible death. Son, I'll go out and wait for you." Wei Bai took a look and was so scared that he ran away.
Ji Liunian took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth, and looked at it carefully.
"It's strange that you, a big man, are carrying a handkerchief with you, haha." The prince said with a smile.
Ji Liunian and the son will come out soon.
"Am I right? It's horrible and disgusting. If my uncle didn't let me come, I wouldn't come. Have you found anything unusual?"
"Haha, I'm just looking around. I'm a little curious." Ji Liunian plans to leave. She always feels that this township appointment with a barefoot doctor is a little strange.
The three of them walked home.
"Son, I have a question for you. If it's inconvenient for you, you can not answer it."
"Don't be polite, just call me prince, just call me Liu Qing."
"Your father didn't seem to come at the banquet last night. Didn't your father live with you? |”
"This... I'll tell you the truth. It's not a secret in this village. My mother's relationship with my father is not good, so they live separately. It's not embarrassing for them to meet, just say hello. I should still call my mother and my father. Although the two of them lived separately, their behavior was still regular and nothing had happened, so my father sat in the position of the head of a township, and no one doubted anything.
"Oh, so that's it." Ji Liunian thought of the face that was very similar to Liu Qing, but he could not feel any respect in his heart. He always felt that there was something hidden in it.
"Sir, the barefoot doctor said it was done by the dowdman. Didn't you catch the dove?" He asked nervously in vain.
"The rave man has escaped and can't find anyone, so now everyone is more sure that he has done it. Now he is absconding for fear of crime."
A few days later, someone went up the mountain to cut firewood and found the body of the husband. Ji Liunian and Wei Bai went to watch it as soon as they heard the news.
"I fell off a cliff and died. It seems that I can't stand the condemnation of my conscience. This matter is already very clear. Don't think so much. It's over." Ji Liunian was very uncomfortable to hear the cheerful voice of Xiangyue, as if it was not a person who died, but a kitten and a puppy.
It seems to be a very simple murder case. The people in the village didn't think so much, but secretly sighed the tragic fate of the widow.
"Miss, do you think there is something wrong with this?" Seeing Ji Liunian's worried appearance, he couldn't help asking.
"I always feel that this matter is too simple. Think about it, why do widows kill widows? People in the village said that they had a good relationship, and they often saw them go to the mountain to cut firewood and fish together. Both of them were alone and there was no conflict. Why did the widower kill the widow?
"Maybe there is a third party. It must be so. There are many troubles in front of the widow's door." Wei Bai smiled evilly after saying that.
"Let's ask the villagers what they think first."
Ji Liunian knocked on the door of the widow's neighbor with Wei Bai and saw Ji Liunian. They knew that they were Mr. Liu Qing's guests, so they treated them warmly.
"We are here to inquire about something."
"You want to inquire about the widow. Now that she is dead, the murderer has been found. There is nothing to say."
Do you often see a widower enter the widow's house? How is the relationship between them?" Ji Liunian asked with a smile.
"They have been going back and forth a lot recently. The widow died eight years ago, but unfortunately she didn't leave a child, so she had to live by herself. Instead, someone came to propose marriage, and everyone advised her to remarry early when she was young, but the widow disagreed. In recent months, the widow has been living a quiet life. In recent months, the widow has become good with the widower, and finally such a thing happened.
"Are they both from this village?"
"Yes, the husband died in the last year. Both of them are relatively lonely, and I don't know how they came together. After saying that, the woman gave a bad smile. Ji Liunian understands what it means.
"Does the widow have money in her family?"
"In the past, I was not rich. When I died as the head of the family, I lived a worse life than before, but it's okay to make a living."
"Do you go to see a barefoot doctor when you are sick? Is there only one doctor in this village?
"Yes, his medical skills are not bad, and ordinary diseases can be seen."
"Don't you think it's strange that the widow is poisoned? Do you sell toxic drugs here? Ji Liunian said with a smile.
The woman waved her hand and smiled.
"It's not easy. Just go up the mountain to collect medicine. The people here are not as good as those in your big area. They all know some herbs. Poisons like widows can be seen everywhere. As long as they are cooked and drunk, they will die immediately.
"Are there any herbs that take longer? Can't you die all of a sudden?" Ji Liunian's question made Wei Bai confused.
"This, maybe poisonous Qingqing, is what we call it here. I don't know anywhere else. It's very painful to die, but it will take at least half an hour to die.
"Oh, I know. So where does this poisonous green grow up?
"There are also in the vegetable field, and the vitality is very strong. Why do you ask this?"
"It's okay, just ask casually. By the way, have you ever seen a widow's house? Ji Liunian's question surprised the woman and quickly closed the door.
"This meal can be eaten indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. If you inadvertently insult others, according to our rules here, you will be whipped by Jing Tiao. Young man, I think you have just arrived, and this matter has nothing to do with you, so leave after the play. Don't mind your own business. It's not worth losing your life.
"Haha, you are so scared when it comes to the township date. Can't you eat the township date? Just tell me, have you seen it? I swear I won't tell anyone. Even if I say it, I won't say what you said. How about it?
The woman looked at Ji Liunian greedily, and Ji Liunian took out a jade pendant from his waist.
"If you are telling the truth, I will give it. If you fool me and I'm also a knife man, don't blame me for being merciless.
The woman's eyes shine with greed.
"I swear that I'm telling the truth, and you can't tell anyone else, otherwise my family's life will be saved."
"A gentleman's words are hard to catch up."
"Okay, I did see the township appointment to the widow's house several times. But I don't know what they are doing in there. The township appointment has always been more serious, and I dare not go out to say hello to him.
"Did you see him on the night of the murder?"
"This is very unfortunate. I went to my mother's house that day."
Ji Liunian and Wei Bai came out.
"Miss, you won't suspect that it was made by the township, will you? This is impossible."
"What's impossible?"
"His son is so good that his father won't do such a bad thing." I took it for granted.
"Don't you see Liu Qing's mother living with him? Liu Qinghao was also cultivated by his mother. As for this township appointment, he is a decent man on the surface, but even his wife does not live with him. Is it really a relationship of personality? It's too simple for you to think about it." Ji Liunian is very confident in his reasoning.
"Even if he really had an affair with the widow, why did he kill her?"
"Then why do you think the widower killed the widow? She has no money and nothing else, and talent is the most noble. Kill the widow and he has nothing left. The township appointment is different. He has a nominal wife, an obedient son, and the respect and love of the villagers. If it is rumored that he has an affair with a widow, all of these will be gone.
"What you said is reasonable, but there is no evidence. I don't believe it because the woman just said a few words. No one will believe it."
