Chapter 148 Lord Lu and his wife are coming
When Captain Li heard that another murder had occurred, he felt as if the sky had fallen over his head.
It’s a bad year, it’s really a bad year!
He brought his men to Yunbian Village.
First, they asked people to cordon off the yard of Mrs. Zhang's house, and then sent people to the fire scene to clean up.
In this type of case, the body must be found as soon as possible to make a preliminary determination as to whether it was an accident or man-made.
After the bodies were cleared out, even Captain Li, who had been handling cases for many years, changed his expression.
Although the bodies were burned beyond recognition, it can be seen from their postures that
There were three people at the crime scene.
Of the three, two had their heads chopped off.
But their heads were held in the arms of another person.
This weird scene makes people's scalp tingle.
The first thought in Li's mind was: This guy is crazy!
I learned from the head of the village that there were only two people in this family: Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Dali.
Where did the third person come from?
The detectives were exchanging opinions in the Zhang family's yard.
The villagers who were watching were also standing outside the yard, talking about what was happening.
"Why is there another person in Mrs. Zhang's house?"
"I heard from the detective that it seemed to be a man."
"A man? Could it be that Mrs. Zhang really has a lover?"
"I'll just say it, there's something wrong with her recent abnormal behavior."
"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that you really can't judge a person by his appearance! In this situation, could it be that he has become an enemy of his lover?"
Captain Li heard everyone's discussion inside and walked out.
"You just said that Mrs. Zhang has a lover?"
The villagers were just speculating privately.
When the officer asked this question, no one dared to say a word.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Captain Li picked his ears.
"I just take it as a joke."
After hearing what the official said, the brave ones spoke up: "We are also guessing, mainly because Mrs. Zhang has been acting very abnormally recently. She has always been very stingy, but she went to the street a few days ago and bought two big pork elbows.
Those are two big pork elbows. People in our village are reluctant to spend so much money during the New Year. "
"Yes, yes, and she also said that her son made a lot of money for her. Everyone in the village knows that Zhang Dashan is a lazy and useless guy who doesn't even help with the autumn harvest. How can he make a lot of money!" someone echoed.
After hearing her say this, someone else said, "What's more, Mrs. Zhang has an extra jade bracelet on her hand.
I know her best. How could she be willing to spend her own money to buy a bracelet? It must have been given to her by someone else."
As soon as the words fell, a constable came out.
He was holding a silk scarf in his hand, and inside the scarf was a jade bracelet.
After the fire, the jade bracelet has been broken into pieces, but it can still be seen that its original texture was very good.
"Is this the bracelet you were talking about?"
Captain Li took the scarf and held up the jade bracelet inside to show everyone.
The shape of the bracelet changed, but the color did not. Someone with sharp eyes had already recognized it: "It is indeed the one she is wearing."
"Put it away and take it back for the coroner to examine."
Captain Li ordered his men.
Soon, the detectives cleaned up the scene.
Captain Li looked at the surrounding environment and walked towards the Xiao family.
This row of families ends at Mrs. Zhang's house, and the closest to her house is the Xiao family.
Captain Li's question was the same as the village head's, which was to ask Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian whether they heard any noise last night.
The two of them repeated their previous answers.
Captain Li signaled his men to check the Xiao family's interior and exterior.
However, because so many villagers had come, no footprints could be identified in the yard. Even the walls of the Xiao and Zhang families were soaked by water and could no longer be recognized in their original form.
The detectives found nothing.
"In that case, let's go back first."
The constable said goodbye to the village head and said, "If you have any new information, please inform us in time."
"Good good!"
The head of the village quickly agreed.
"If the man from the Zhang family comes back, can he enter this yard?"
The head of the village asked.
"If her husband comes back, let him report to the county government. Our master will definitely have something to ask him."
If it was a murder of passion as the villagers said, then Zhang Zong could not be unrelated to this matter.
The village head remembered the constable's instructions and wrote them down one by one.
Only after the detectives left did Ye Xinran feel relieved.
What ordinary people fear most is getting into lawsuits. As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain his reason clearly.
What's more, they are ordinary people.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang had some unusual behavior before, otherwise the constables would have inevitably spent some time paying attention to them.
The villagers gathered around Mrs. Zhang's house and talked for a long time. Someone suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a strange man entering the village before, so he hurried to report to the head of the village.
Lu Changqing heard the news from somewhere and rushed over as soon as possible.
After arriving at the Xiao family, Lu Changqing first checked Ye Xinran from head to toe.
After making sure Ye Xinran was fine, he complained, "Sister, why did you chase away all the martial artists I hired? I heard they didn't even let them in."
"Well, this..."
Ye Xinran didn't know how to answer.
You’re too polite. Lu Changqing will definitely get angry again.
If he says he can handle it, he will blame himself for being arrogant.
While hesitating, Xiao Huaian said, "With me here, there's no need for any thugs."
As expected, Lu Changqing said, "You are too arrogant. You don't care about my sister's safety. This is the house next door that is on fire. If your own house is on fire, wouldn't you have more help if you have more people?"
"My own house won't catch fire."
Xiao Huaian said.
"Because I won't allow it."
"you……"
Faced with the overconfident Xiao Huaian, Lu Changqing was speechless.
He wanted to persuade Ye Xinran to hire two more people, but he heard Ye Xinran say, "Your brother-in-law is right. I feel relieved when he is here."
"That's okay!"
Lu Changqing was defeated.
"But the case isn't solved yet, so can't I come and stay here?"
Lu Changqing looked at Ye Xinran pitifully again.
"Ok!"
Ye Xinran nodded.
After all, Lu Changqing is still a student with books to read. Living with her is not a long-term solution.
"If you don't want to stay, then don't stay! I can wait a little longer."
Lu Changqing was a little disappointed, but the next moment, he perked up again: "Sister, I have something good to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Ye Xinran asked.
Lu Changqing: "I received a letter from my mother a few days ago. Dad and Mom will be coming to Yuntong County soon. They must be coming for you!"
Lord Lu and Madam Lu?
Ye Xinran was a little surprised.
What do they seem to be doing here?
