After returning to his residence in Qingyang, Li Dingguo began to analyze the case, "There are bones pressed under the broken monument, it must be a murder and sinking corpse case!"
The broken monument is not large, and in the deep water area of the flash flood, the corpse is easily washed away from the broken monument.It seems that the broken monument and the corpse were tied together with a rope, and after a long time, after the rope, the corpse and the clothes decomposed, only the sternum and the broken monument remained, and those bones that were crushed by the broken monument were washed away by the torrent.Since Han Laosan said that no one has disappeared in the local area, then the deceased is a foreigner.The use of a broken monument to sink the deceased into the pond proves that the broken monument used by the murderer was obtained near the pond.So, could the murderer live near the pond?
The more important clues are: First, this broken stele is the upper half, and the remaining inscription is "Wang Junsong first", could it be that the deceased is called Wang Song?
The place where the payment is "son, Bai Ganli", who is Wang Baigan?
Second, there is an inclined plane on the top of the stele, and the surface is smooth, which seems to be caused by sharpening the knife.But there are so many clues, the bones sank into the pond many years ago, and there is no other useful information at all, this is similar to a headless case, Li Dingguo was about to fall into contemplation when he thought about it, and while he was pondering, his crown princess Xue Linglong walked in, "Husband, what are you thinking?"
Would you like to have a glass of Umeng Genting?
”Xue Linglong walked in front of Li Dingguo with two cups of Genting tea with a smile, Li Dingguo looked up and saw that it was his mother-in-law, he took the tea, drank it all, and then looked at Xue Linglong, "Linglong, what good thing makes you so happy, say it to make your husband happy......
Xue Linglong glanced at Li Dingguo, and then whispered a few words to him, Li Dingguo's face appeared ecstatic, "Linglong, what you said is true???
”"Naturally, it's true, I haven't arrived this month, so I went to the doctor to take a look, and it turned out that it was Ximai......"
Xue Linglong looked at her man proudly, and her words were full of the excitement of an expectant mother."
Hahaha, my Linglong is capable......"
Li Dingguo hugged Xue Linglong, as if he was holding a piece of peerless jade, "Linglong, well, this Qingyang is no better than Broken Leaf, for you and our child, I want to send you back to Broken Leaf......
"When Li Dingguo took Xue Linglong to take office, Li Lu and Changle told him that once Xue Linglong is pregnant, she must be sent back to Broken Leaf to have a baby....."
Husband, if I leave, who will take care of your daily life, or leave Qinghe behind?
Anyway, when I marry you, she will be your woman....."
Xue Linglong said that Qinghe was her maid and Li Dingguo's concubine, but she was not favored by Li Dingguo, "Husband, she is a Persian girl, do you dare to say that you have no idea at all?"
”After the couple said a few words in the boudoir, Xue Linglong asked his man what he was thinking, Li Dingguo told his wife about the headless case he encountered on an outing, he knew that his wife was not inferior to himself, he wanted to hear what his wife had to say, and see if he could inspire himself.Xue Linglong pondered for a long time, and then wrote two words on the paper in front of Li Dingguo: tombstone, and then she looked up at her man, "Husband, you see that the only physical evidence in this case is the tombstone..... this tombstone must be the tombstone erected by the local family in Qingyang in the eyes of his wife..... why don't you enter this case in the name of acquiring the tombstone?"
”"Buying a tombstone?"
Li Dingguo was stunned.Xue Linglong smiled slightly, and then the corners of her mouth curved into a good-looking arc, "Husband, do you think, if this tombstone is destroyed by the murderer, then the trick of being a wife will be over; If it is thrown by the murderer, there is hope of 'offering a reward to buy the remnants of the monument'; if there is really no lower half, then the last trick of 'rewarding the monument' can only be used.As long as someone recognizes whose family the upper half of the monument is, they can find important clues to the murderer. ”After Li Dingguo heard this, he immediately clapped his hands, "Linglong, you really deserve to be a female Zhuge who even the third aunt praises..... you really helped your husband a lot.....
Li Dingguo was inspired by his wife and was ready to start buying tombstones, but how to buy them?
Of course, the government can't come forward, Li Dingguo suddenly thought of Pan Jinsheng, the owner of the "Pan Ji Thrift Store" who was familiar with him, and Li Dingguo secretly found Pan's shopkeeper to help......
In this way, Li Lu's confidant Qin Sheng became "Master Qin", and Li Si became the shopkeeper Erye Xin.At the beginning, "Master Qin" made a gesture to collect a few tombstones and an epitaph, and when he was pleasantly surprised to move the lower half of the remnant monument to the back room and the upper half of the remnant monument to "close the monument", no matter the size of the stone and the stele, it was undoubtedly the "original match", and the text on the stele after the stele was closed was not less, but the words at the seams were a little incomplete, but it did not affect the integrity of the words.Seeing that the "Hemo" was correct, whether it was Qin Sheng or Li Si, Wang Wu thought that he could arrest people.But after Li Dingguo's inspection, he said that it was not yet time, although Ma Guizhi came to make trouble to retreat the monument, but at the moment Ma Guizhi's man was only suspected of committing a crime, because Ma Guizhi said that the upper half of the monument was stolen, what if it was really the person who stole the monument?
Therefore, Li Dingguo went to Hancun Weifu for a private visit to find Han Laosan, and learned from the fisherman that Wang Chunqiu's father is called Wang Baigan, and his grandfather is called Wang Songshan.In other words, Li Guizhi is telling the truth, and Wang Chunqiu must have a ghost in his heart when he is in a hurry to retreat from the monument!
Han Laosan also provided an important situation: Wang Chunqiu, who paid off his gambling debts six years ago, suddenly became prosperous, saying that he had won a lot of money by gambling outside.This made Li Dingguo more and more convinced that Wang Chunqiu was the murderer.In order to convince the criminals, after buying the second half of the monument, Li Dingguo came up with a plan to help Ma Guizhi "fish the monument": show the lower half of the monument and reward the upper half of the monument with a heavy amount of money, the purpose is to create public opinion and cause psychological pressure on the criminals......
At the same time, Li Dingguo secretly sank a half-section of the monument in size and thickness similar to the upper half of the monument to the deep water area of the pond in advance.As Li Dingguo expected, the criminals were afraid that if the upper half of the monument was caught by Yang Jishan and others, they would not survive, so they quietly went to the pond to fish for the monument in the dead of night.He would have expected that the patrol guards who were there had been waiting for him for a long time.Two days later, in the hall of the yamen, Wang Chunqiu was escorted, and as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down, and the broken monument was placed beside him.When Li Dingguo asked him to raise his head, he recognized at a glance that it was the lower half of the stele in his house, and not far from the stele there was a pile of fishing nets, a skull, and a few bones, and the thing placed on the right was covered with a piece of cloth that could not be seen.When the criminal officer Li Dingguo summoned witnesses Ma Guizhi, Pan Jinsheng, Yang Jishan, and Han Laosan to the court, Ma Guizhi stared at Li Si, the head of the patrol police, and was taken aback, and when she turned her head and saw Qin Sheng standing beside Li Dingguo in the hall, she suddenly exclaimed: "Aren't you Master Qin?"
”Qin Sheng smiled when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, good eyesight."
At this time, I only heard Li Dingguo shouting: "Listen to the criminal Wang Chunqiu!"
This official orders you to close the monument!
”Wang Chunqiu had to move the half of the tablet that he fished up from the pond to close it first, although the size and thickness were about the same, but the stone was different.The stele of his house is sandstone, but the stele fished up from the water is bluestone, and the inscriptions and fonts on the two steles do not match.When the county magistrate ordered him to uncover the cloth on his right, his legs went limp and he almost fainted.He saw the upper half of his grandfather's spiritual monument!
Know that your time of death has come!
He suddenly realized that Mr.
Qin's "buying a stele" was just to "fish for a stele" ......
"Wang Chunqiu!"
”Li Dingguo shouted, "What else do you have to say?"
”Wang Chunqiu knew that he couldn't deny it, so he had to confess: "The person is the ...... of Shentang after I killed him" and then explained how he killed people: Six years ago, when he delivered goods to Liu Fugui, a businessman who came to Qingyang Township from Gaochang to buy medicinal materials, he found that there were several bearer large amounts of flying money in his backpack, which was similar to the bearer checks of later generations, so much money, Wang Chunqiu had never seen so much money until he killed people........
Obsessed with wealth, he strangled Liu Fugui with a rope when he passed by the secluded road by the big pond, then hid the body, and then sank the body into the pond after dark.The half of the tablet was moved from his home when his wife went to the neighbor's house.Wang Chunqiu said: "After all these years, I thought it had become a death case.Although I was a little flustered after my mother-in-law sold the second half of the monument, I still didn't pay much attention to it.When I heard that the thrift store was willing to help me fish for the monument, I felt that something was wrong.Since Yang Jishan came to the door, I was worried that someone would hit a dead mouse, so I took advantage of the darkness to go into the water......"
Li Dingguo laughed: "Do you think it's a death case?
Haven't you heard of 'Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky'?
”In the words, the British prince was a little proud, he was still fishing for the stele very well....... just when Li Dingguo was fishing for the stele, Li Lu and Princess Changle on the side of the broken leaf were extremely happy after learning that their daughter-in-law was pregnant, they immediately asked people to pick up Xue Linglong and return to the broken leaf to have a baby, when Li Dingguo saw the visitor, he was stunned, "What, I also want to go back to the broken leaf?"
My term as a criminal officer hasn't expired yet?
”"Your Highness, the wind is blowing in Eastern Rome, Your Majesty is preparing to conquer Constantinople in person, you can't stay in Qingyang anymore, and the imperial capital Broken Leaves can't be left alone....."
The envoy also ....... the wind of Eastern Rome neatly?
Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he immediately knew that the opportunity that his father had been waiting for had finally come, as long as he took Constantinople, his father could really be called the emperor of the Western world, even his little brother Richard could also have a good place, at this critical time, as the crown prince of the United Kingdom, he was naturally duty-bound.......
