Chapter 118 Suicide?
The accountant squatted on the ground and hugged his head. The strong man pushed him and said, "What are you doing? Your master is dead, don't you cry?"
The accountant looked up and looked at him and said, "Why am I crying?"
"You are his accountant. New..."
"I am just his accountant, not his son, and he is very mean to others. Didn't you see him slapping me in front of everyone just now? I was just a slap by him and was not a slave of his family. Why should he hit me? This kind of thing has not been done once or twice. I have long hated him, so he died. I was happy, why didn't I have time to cry!"
"Then why did you squat on the ground just now and hugged your head, looking sad, are you pretending?"
"I was frowning because I didn't know how to explain when I went back, why did he hang himself for no reason, how did I explain to his wife and children?"
The young woman comforted, "He hanged himself, what does it have to do with you? What are you worried about?"
The strong man beside him sneered, "Who said he hanged himself? Maybe someone strangled him to death and pretended to hang him."
"What did you say, the gray grandson...?"
"Husband, don't be angry, what they are telling the truth. He is so fat and strong, who can kill him? And who can hang a person as fat as he is on the beam? Husband, you are such a joke."
The strong man could be fierce to outsiders, but in front of the young woman, he looked like a sick cat. When he heard that the young woman was unhappy, he hurriedly thrust, explaining that he was just talking nonsense and couldn't take it seriously.
The porter said, "That's right, he must have hanged himself, otherwise he would be so fat and heavier after he dies. Isn't it said that dead people are heavier than living people? Is it called dead and dead? So, I guess those present will really hang him up, the only ones with the sword and the hunter. If you two have the strength, I don't think I can do it."
The strong man glared and said, "You can't do it, aren't you pushing a cart? With all your strength, what kind of bear should you pretend to be? Maybe you strangled and hung up the person."
The porter said, "Brother, you are just kidding. I have been sleeping in the hall and have never been out. They can testify."
The farmer who was sleeping in the lobby together shook his head and was unwilling to testify to him. He only said that he fell asleep before he heard the shouts. He did not hear him go out.
The porter said, "Since this is the case, I can't testify to you, because I fell asleep just now, and I don't know when you will go out."
Yunzi was standing aside and shouted: "Don't argue, listen to the Lord."
These people quickly shut up and looked at Lu Jinping together.
Lu Jinping said: "When you three heard the shouts before, were they all in the room? Has anyone ever gone out?"
The three of them shook their heads together, proving that they woke up when they heard the sound and that the others were also in the room.
Lu Jinping turned around and asked the strong man with a knife and the hunter, "Where are you two? Have you been out before hearing the shouts?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads together, which proved that when they were sleeping just now, both of them were sleeping behind the door. Whoever wanted to go out would inevitably alarm the other party. If they wanted to enter through the main door, they would alarm the four people. Because they were also sleeping by the door, they could confirm that the other party had never left the kitchen.
Lu Jinping looked at the young woman and mother-in-law.
The young woman said, "Sir, my mother-in-law and I have been in the house all the time. Let's talk about it. We don't have the ability to strangle him to death, and we don't have the ability to carry him to the crossbar and hang it."
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "It seems that this rich man was indeed hanging himself. You guys have evidence of absent. What exactly made him so unconscious?" Speaking of this, he turned around and looked at the accountant squatting on the ground.
The accountant shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either. Although I am his accountant, I don't know a lot about him. I don't know why he hanged himself. Maybe he was stimulated."
Yunzi interrupted, "What kind of excitement can there be? It is in this barren mountain blizzard. What kind of excitement can it make her?"
The young woman said, "This is not accurate. The blizzard is like a howling ghost. I was so scared that I was trembling in the bed and lying in the bed and dared not sleep. The old lady said that the wind in this area is very strong. The wind blows through the stones on the mountain and makes all kinds of strange sounds, which is quite scary. She is used to living here, so she doesn't think there is anything. And we are just here, so we may be a little scared."
The accountant shook his head and said, "It is impossible for us master to commit suicide by being frightened by such strange sounds. If we really want me to tell you why he hangs you, it may be a matter of land. He likes to gambling very much and always loses. Most of the land left by his ancestors have lost. His wife and children begged him not to gamble anymore and leave some money for his family. He said he can't control himself and is sorry for his wife and children. So I just thought, if he really wants to commit suicide, this may be the reason."
Yunzi said: "He can think of his wife and children, and he feels that he likes gambling but cannot control it. If he dies, he can still leave some money for his family. If he really has this idea, I would respect him three points."
Lu Jinping also sighed and said, "It seems that this is why he hanged himself. Perhaps because he saw the peddler in front of him die tragically, and thought that life is impermanent, and he still lives well in this life, and may die tomorrow, so he became pessimistic about people. This is quite common. People are easily affected by the environment. I have heard of some examples. Because of attending someone else's funeral, I committed suicide by death after coming back when I was extremely depressed."
After hearing what Lu Jinping said, these people nodded in agreement, sighed and expressed regret to the local rich man.
Lu Jinping said: "Since that's the case, everyone will go back to their rooms to rest. It's already midnight now.
The accountant said: "Our master is dead. Can I live in his wing room? There is a quilt, and it is very cold when I sleep in the living room, so I will get sick."
Lu Jinping's eyes swept to several other people. The strong man and the hunter said that they still lived together to supervise each other to see who was the murderer, so they did not live in that place, so they would not be suspected again.
When Lu Jinping looked at the farmer and the porter, they shook their heads together, and the reasons they said were almost the same, that was, the place was lived before the earth rich man died. Now that the earth rich man died, they would not dare to live there. They would rather let it live to the accountant, so that no one would argue with him.
Lu Jinping nodded and said to the young woman: "Please give me your scissors."
The young woman quickly handed him the scissors in her hand and asked: "What do you want to do with scissors? Is it possible to make clothes in the middle of the night? If you need help from my family, just say hello, I..."
Yunzi, who was beside him, snorted heavily, and his eyes swept over like lightning. The young woman was so scared that she trembled. She quickly saved the words behind her, swallowed them, and lowered her head and did not dare to look at her.
Lu Jinping didn't say much, holding the scissors and took Yunzi back to the wing room.
Close the door, Lu Jinping and Yunzi both sat on the edge of the kang. Neither of them lighted the lights and sat in the darkness. Yunzi spoke first: "If this fat man was strangled and pretended to be hung after being hung, he was so fat that no one else could do it except one."
"Oh? Who?"
"Hunter!" Yunzi lowered his voice and said, "The hunter is actually very good at martial arts. You won't be able to notice martial arts. When he was searching for the enemy just now, the distance between the footprints he left on the snow was basically the same."
"What does this mean?"
"This is the result of long-term practice of some kind of body movements and walking. You can't understand even if you don't know how to say martial arts."
Lu Jinping slowly dripped in thought.
Yunzi continued, "I don't think that rich man was hanged!"
"Oh? How do you see it?"
"It's very simple. Before that, he looked at the young woman lustfully and stared at my breasts. How could a man who is so interested in women? He could die if he dies? Even if his family is almost defeated, there is no need to die. Doesn't he have rent to collect? In order to leave some money for his wife and children, he hangs himself and uses this method to quit gambling. This may be the most far-fetched reason I have heard."
"Your analysis is not unreasonable, but he is indeed hanged."
"Why are you so sure?" Yunzi asked.
Lu Jinping said: "From the marks on his neck, there is only one, and it extends to the back of his head in the shape of a horseshoe, and does not cross the back of his neck, and is hanging in the air. This mark is a typical hanging. Moreover, I checked his face and his eyes were covered with spot-shaped bleeding points, which is consistent with the characteristics of mechanical asphyxiation death. Therefore, based on the corpse phenomenon, it is hanging."
Yunzi said: "You can see it very clearly. Since this is the case, it will save trouble. Besides, the woman said something is reasonable. He is so fat that most people cannot hang the beam of the house. Moreover, he is a living person. If he wants to hang it on the beam of the house, will he not shout? Since he doesn't yell, he is really hanging himself by suicide."
Lu Jinping said: "I just checked the marks on the cross beam, and there was no scratch caused by friction back and forth, which means that the deceased did not struggle and resist strongly. In this case, he usually voluntarily hangs it. In another case, he lost the ability to resist, or was hanged up after death. However, it can be ruled out that he was hanged up after death, because the marks on his neck were very obvious. This was an injury before his death, that is, he was still alive before he hanged."
Of course, Yunzi couldn't understand his professional terms such as life reactions, but the general meaning was that he could guess. Seeing that Lu Jinping could analyze this problem so professionally, he couldn't help but admire him and said, "Since he was hanged by himself, let's not struggle and go to bed."
This sounds ambiguous, but Lu Jinping said, "You go to bed first, I need to do a Taoist method for a test."
"What kind of tests do? Do you have to do it now?"
"Yes!" Lu Jinping pondered, "There is another possibility, but this possibility needs evidence to support. I just need to do a test to determine whether this possibility exists."
“What is possible?”
"I can't say it yet. I will tell you when I can."
Yunzi said, "Would you like me to help you? Or should I see if I can?"
Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "Sorry, when I was doing Taoism to test things, there was no one around me, so you can't go out, but you must turn your back to me and cover your head with a quilt. You must ensure this, otherwise my Taoism investigation will not work and will affect the solution of the case."
Yunzi stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay, listen to you." After that, he climbed onto the earthen kang obediently, got into the quilt, lay sideways in, and pulled the quilt over to cover his whole body and head.
Lu Jinping reached out and pressed the quilt tightly, believing that Yunzi could not see it. He didn't take a long time to check it, so he wouldn't cover the other party.
Lu Jinping opened the forensic investigation box, took out the piece of rope that was taken off the beam of the room, stepped on the ground, stretched it with all his strength, and then cut it with a click of scissors.
Then, he placed the broken hole that had just been cut and the broken hole that had been cut by the young woman before to observe it. After checking, his eyes lit up.
The test was very short. Lu Jinping quickly packed up his things, locked the password box, and then got into the quilt.
Hearing Lu Jinping put it on, Yunzi lifted a corner of the quilt, took a few breaths, and said, "Oh, I'm really suffocating me. If you don't finish it, I'll be suffocated to death by you."
Lu Jinping smiled and said, "I'm sorry."
Yunzi turned around, hugged him naturally, and lay in his arms. The two of them lay quietly, and neither of them had the next move. Although they could feel the other's heartbeat through their clothes.
Yunzi did not continue the topic just now. Perhaps the sudden suicide of the local rich man diluted that emotion.
Lu Jinping looked up at the dim roof with his face in ecstasy, and his ears were the whistling sound of a blizzard outside the window.
When Yunzi heard Lu Jinping sitting there silently without saying a word, he didn't say anything, but just lie down quietly with him in his arms. He was very tired that day and fell asleep quickly.
Lu Jinping thought about it, but he fell asleep at some point.
This time, I slept until the east side, and the fish belly was white.
When Lu Jinping woke up, he didn't even realize where he was. When he saw clearly Yunzi was sitting cross-legged in the bed, closing his eyes and breathing, he realized that he spent the night with the Tubo girl. Of course, what should have happened did not happen, and what should not have happened did not happen.
At this moment, I can't hear the howling of the blizzard, and I guess it has stopped. The morning light scattered on Yunzi's face, revealing a healthy malt color. Two light plateau red on his cheekbones, like two natural rouge, which also makes people feel a healthy and upward vitality.
