Three-pot porridge and naan

Chapter 12 Peach Blossom Embankment 3 The person was dead before the body was hidden, and the boat c

Behind that wall was a buried body with feet and some hair exposed.

It was buried with lime and plant ash, and the smell of fish and crabs in the house was very strong, so there was no corpse smell.

When the truth behind the wall was revealed before his eyes, the old man Qi had already knelt on the ground.

"Master Qingtian, I was wronged. I didn't kill this person...I didn't kill people...no..." Old man Qi was so frightened that he cried, tears and snot flowing from his nose.

"Doctor Mei." Mo Li called him sullenly.

Wandong squeezed in from the outside: "Let's carry it out first."

When the two detectives carried the body out, their bodies were trembling slightly.Now that the corpse was carried out, the smell of the corpse came out...

Wandong took out a pair of sheepskin gloves from his pocket, walked over and knelt down in front of the corpse.

"It's true that you've been dead for several days." Wandong said calmly, then turned to look at the old man Qi, and lowered his voice, "Don't be afraid, I'll ask you a few words, you answer carefully, the government won't kill your head."

"When did you get this man into the house?"

"Two...24 or 25 I don't remember. It was dark and it rained heavily for a long time. When I met this person, it must have been raining lightly. I dragged the boat out. I wanted to pick up some of the shore and get washed up. The dead fish...however, I found him in the shallows of Taohuadi.”

"I thought this man could be saved. I'm also a Buddhist. With the thought that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, I put him on a boat and dragged him home without thinking. When I returned to the village I just wanted to ask Lao She for help, but I didn’t know that Lao She and the others had fallen asleep and no one answered, so I dragged him home, and when I got home, I wanted to change his clothes, only to find out that he was dead. I... saw him The satin clothes on his body made him think badly... I was thinking that everyone was dead, and the clothes were useless. I really saved him with good intentions, but he was already dead. I will change the clothes for money later. Find him a place with good geomantic omen and bury him."

Everyone saw that the old man Qi was terrified, and although he spoke incoherently, he seemed to be much more eloquent than before.

"But I'm afraid. When I dragged him back, I thought he was alive. I dared to, but he was already dead. I was so scared that my legs were so weak that I didn't dare to drag him out..."

Wandong smiled and shook his head: "It should be the day you sold the clothes on his body that you saw a policeman coming, and the policeman happened to be guarding the Peach Blossom Embankment, and you wanted to throw the body in the river to avoid being found, and transport it out. It's even more impossible, so I simply built the body and sealed it in the wall first, and then tried to remove it after the arrester left soon."

"You... how do you know..." Old man Qi looked at the young man in front of him in horror.

Wandong stood up and looked at Mo Li: "It's true that Old Man Qi didn't kill him, it's up to you how Master Mo will deal with him."

Hiding a corpse is punishable and a felony, but Wandong has nothing to do with it.

Watching the police carry the body out, the faces of the people who came to watch the fun outside in the middle of the night turned pale with fright.

"Old man Qi actually hid the corpse!" someone screamed outside.

"So the body that the government has been looking for for so many days was hidden by old man Qi???"

"too frightening!"

"But I can't figure out why old man Qi hides the corpse!! Is it because the corpse looks like his youngest son??"

Hearing the exclamation outside the door, the corners of Mo Li's lips trembled, telling the police to take old man Qi away quickly.

**

The body was carried to the post first.

Wandong checked again in the post station until there was nothing to check.

"Soaked in river water, buried in lime and plant ash, I can no longer see its true colors... If you want to check further, you need to open the abdominal cavity, and there are no conditions here."

"When did you say he died?" Mo Li originally had his back on Wandong, but he suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned around.

Wandong looked at him: "I don't know the exact time, but he wouldn't have drowned on the 24th. If it had been earlier, it might have been one day earlier, or it might have been two days earlier."

Because even if the body is soaked in water on the night of the 24th until it is dark in the early morning of the 25th, it is impossible for the skin to be soaked until it is damaged, and in the end it is beyond recognition.

It means that this person has died a long time ago, and the body will only peel off after soaking if there are signs of decay...

"Can old man Qi be so confused?"

Mo Li is saying that if old man Qi wants to save someone, he doesn't first check whether the person is dead or alive?

"He's confused, but Mr. Kang shouldn't be." Wandong stared at the corpse on the ground, as if in a daze.

Mo Li was startled when he heard the words: "So on July 24th, Shi Lei was already dead on the day when the boat capsized due to heavy rain, how could he fall into the water and be washed away? This is clearly for..."

Destroy the corpse!

"Yes, not right." Wandong frowned, just like the day he found out the murderer in Santaoyuan, he always felt that something was wrong.

Wandong looked down at the corpse again, it was another corpse that had been tortured beyond recognition...

Thinking of the unrecognizable person who was beaten in the Santao Garden again, Wandong's eyes became more complicated, and he slowly stretched out his hand to touch the bones of the corpse.

Mo Li saw that he touched the corpse's leg bones all the way to the corpse's hand bones...

Although the flesh had been damaged, the bones were intact, revealing the secret of the corpse to them.

I don't know how long it took before Mo Li saw Wandong stand up, the light was shining on the boy's handsome face, and he could still see the cold sweat on the boy's forehead.

Wandong walked to the bucket beside him and put his sheepskin gloved hand into the water. After a long time, he took off the glove and walked outside.

Until he stopped by the well, and the well water washed his hands, his eyes were as deep as before.

Mo Li didn't know what Wandong had discovered, the moment he turned his head to glance at the corpse, he felt strange and unpredictable.

It was the first time he felt this way in the two years since he solved the case.

If it is true as Wandong said, this is a serial murder.

The murderer in Santaoyuan was Hu Lai, so the person who wanted to kill the Second Uncle Kang was the most suspicious of the Third Uncle Kang.Thinking of this, Mo Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wandong washed his hands, walked in slowly and said to Mo Li, "My lord, I'll go to bed first, and Captain Ye should be here tomorrow morning."

Wan Dongfang still had complicated eyes, and at this moment, the mood was so calm, Mo Li didn't know what to do.

That night, Wandong slept soundly, but Mo Li didn't fall asleep until midnight...

**

The next day, Captain Ye hurried back to Shangjing, at this time Wandong had followed Mo Li to the official office in the east city of Shangjing.

Detective Ye quickly: "People from Uncle Hu Lai's family in Luokou County said that Hu Lai had never been here, and the soldiers guarding the city of Luokou also checked that no one named Hu Lai showed up. In your name, let Luo The Kouguan government has issued a wanted arrest warrant."

Mo Li took a deep breath and frowned, "Absconded in fear of crime."

Wandong squinted his eyes. If he fled in fear of crime, it would be fine, but he would be killed and silenced...

"What if someone lures Hu Lai to the mouth of the screw?" Wan Dong was sipping his tea, but suddenly put down his water glass lightly.

Mo Li: "If someone leads him to Luokou, it's not absconding in fear of crime, it's being silenced."

"The person died in Santaoyuan on July 22. If he really wanted to escape, he should have fled out of the city that night. He didn't have to wait for the letter from Luokou on July 24, explaining that Hu Lai had other reasons for staying in Yaojia Village." Wandong didn't look at him, As if talking to himself, "San Taoyuan Iron Pestle Case, Hu Lai is the murderer, but he and Shi Lei have no grievances..."
