083 Vengeful Ghost(1/2)
"Please also tell us everything you saw."
Jiang Bing's words sounded like a request, but the tone made it impossible to refuse.
The woman sitting on the ground sobbed a few times, then nodded with great effort and recounted the whole story.
She told us that her name was Chen Liyun, and the deceased was her husband, Zeng Erquan.
Zeng Erquan is forty-eight years old this year. He and Chen Liyun have a son who is studying at university in another city. Now he has heard the news and is on his way here.
I saw that what Chen Liyun said was a little off topic, so I asked her to pick out the key points and talk about what happened tonight.
Chen Liyun calmed down slightly and said: "Er Quan and I have always lived a responsible life, and we have never offended anyone. Tonight, after Er Quan came back from the fields, we went inside to watch TV after dinner.
We went to bed. We usually turn off the TV and go to bed after watching the TV series after nine o'clock, and it was the same today. Just when we were just waiting to turn off the TV and turn off the lights, the big iron door at home rang."
As she spoke, Chen Liyun pointed at us to the door in the courtyard.
We looked where she pointed, and when we found nothing unusual, we let Chen Liyun continue.
Chen Liyun comes from a farmer's background and her Mandarin is not standard, but fortunately we can still understand her.
Chen Liyun said: "The sound of the door ringing sounded like someone knocking on the door. I thought there was someone outside looking for us, so we asked Er Quan to go out and open the door to have a look. Er Quan put on his clothes and went out, but we waited for him to come back.
Then he told me that there was no one outside.
We both thought that someone's naughty child had knocked on the door on purpose, so we didn't pay much attention to it and continued to prepare for bed. However, before Er Quan had just laid down on the bed, the iron door outside rang again."
"We both heard clearly that there was someone knocking on the door. Er Quan ran out to take a look again, but he came back not long after he left and said there was no one outside at all."
"There was clearly someone knocking on the door, but when we waited to look, we saw no one. Er Quan and I felt that it was not the fault of other children. We thought there might be someone knocking on my door outside, so we didn't continue to sleep and waited to think about it.
Let’s see what’s going on.”
Chen Liyun paused and continued: "This time we really guessed it. Not two minutes later, someone knocked on the door again. After the previous two lessons, we didn't rush to knock on the door this time.
If you keep waiting, maybe no one will knock after a while. But the knock on the door keeps ringing and the sound is still loud. Er Quan couldn't sit still and said he wanted to go out and take a look."
"I was also curious about who kept knocking on my door, so I asked Er Quan to go out and have a look. I also asked him to be quiet when he went out, maybe he could see who was knocking on the door. Er Quan
He also agreed. He carefully walked out the door and walked towards the courtyard."
At this point Chen Liyun stopped, and I found that Chen Liyun's expression became frightened.
Her face looked unusually pale under the yellow light bulb. Chen Liyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked around, a little afraid to make a sound.
We didn't rush Chen Liyun to speak. Instead, we asked her to calm down first before speaking.
After about half a minute, Chen Liyun said: "The first two times, the knocking on the door of Er Quan disappeared as soon as he left the main room. This time, Er Quan walked softly and made no sound. The knocking on the door was still there. I
I also felt a little curious about what was going on, so I got out of bed and leaned on the window to look out."
"I saw... I saw Er Quan quietly approaching the door, and then suddenly opened the door. Not long after opening the door, I heard Er Quan shouting, 'There is a ghost,' and then he rushed towards the house with all his strength.
Run inside."
Chen Liyun squirmed her throat and said with a trembling voice: "When Er Quan ran back, I happened to see the door. I saw... I saw a woman in red clothes!"
Woman in red dress!
It’s the woman in red again!
At the scene of Nan Jinghui's murder, A Cai once said that Nan Jinghui kept talking about seeing a woman in red, and now a woman in red also appeared at the scene of Zeng Erquan's murder.
Originally, the woman in red clothes couldn't be trusted to say "no" from the deceased, but it happened that both A Cai and Chen Liyun saw the woman in red clothes.
Who is this woman in red dress...?
"Then what?" Zhao Jiyou seemed to be very interested in this, he looked at Chen Liyun calmly.
Chen Liyun trembled and said: "I saw the woman in red clothes, but I was afraid that something would happen to Er Quan, so I glanced at Er Quan. I found that Er Quan ran into the house without his life. When I turned around, I looked at the door again.
Then you won’t see the woman in red anymore.”
"At this moment, Dahuang, who was tied to the kennel in the corner by Erquan, suddenly started barking." Chen Liyun pointed to a kennel in the corner.
We looked in the direction pointed by Chen Liyun and found that the kennel was relatively simple and could protect it from the wind and rain. In front of the kennel was an iron rod, which was smashed directly into the cement floor.
, looks extremely solid.
"Do you still remember which direction your rhubarb calls?" Zhao Jiyou thought for a moment and asked.
Chen Liyun nodded and said, "Remember, I called in the direction of the door."
"The rhubarb barked very fiercely. In the past, the rhubarb didn't bark so fiercely when strangers came to the house. And the movement was still loud. It struggled with the rope tied to its head, but after two more barks, the rhubarb stopped rushing.
I called in the direction of the gate, but..."
Chen Liyun's body was shaking violently, her eyes were full of fear, and her face showed an indelible feeling of regret.
I had already guessed the following situation, but I still listened quietly to what Chen Liyun said.
"But...it was screaming at my second right!" What Chen Liyun said was not much different from what I thought. She told us: "At that time, the second right was so frightened that he fell to the ground several times, and that time he happened to fall
He fell next to the kennel. Dahuang jumped directly on Er Quan and struggled to break the rope tied to the dog's neck. I saw the dog biting Er Quan through the window, so I was scared, but I still fell down.
He took out the wooden stick hidden at the back of the main room and ran towards the yard."
I noticed the wooden stick thrown in the middle of the yard. The wooden stick was very thick, at least as thick as an adult's calf, and looked like the trunk of a tree.
Moreover, there was a lot of blood stains on one end of the stick, presumably from dogs.
Speaking of this, Chen Liyun couldn't help crying again. She cried and said sadly: "When I ran to the yard, Rhubarb had already bitten Er Quan so he could remember it, and Er Quan was also in severe pain. He kept trying.
That screamed. I was scared in my heart, afraid that something might happen to Er Quan, so I ran out with a wooden stick and hit Dahuang on the head."
"When I knocked it, I found that the rhubarb didn't feel any pain at all. It kept biting the two corners without letting go. And it must have felt the pain when I knocked it, and it even raised its head and glanced at me. I found that the eyes of the rhubarb were particularly fierce.
It was as if Er Quan was his enemy. At that time, a lot of blood was bleeding from Er Quan's neck, and Er Quan didn't shout much anymore. I was afraid that something would happen to Er Quan and I would die, so I hit Da Huang on the head with a stick, but
No matter how hard I hit the rhubarb, it just wouldn’t let go. Even when I knocked the rhubarb until its head was covered in blood and it fell to the ground and couldn’t get up, it still wouldn’t let go..."
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Chen Liyun's face. After she finished speaking, she slapped the ground and burst into tears, saying that it was all because of her own uselessness that Zeng Erquan was killed by her own dog.
We looked at each other in confusion, and we all understood a little bit about Chen Liyun's explanation and self-report.
The reason why Zeng Erquan was killed by his own dog, I think, is because the body bitten by Yao Yulu two years ago might have been done by Zeng Erquan’s dog!
Although I don’t understand why Zeng Erquan’s dog suddenly bit Zeng Erquan, I think this may have something to do with the woman in red dress mentioned by Chen Liyun.
The woman in red appears several times and we have to pay attention to it.
Although, we still don't know who the woman in red is.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized an important issue. I comforted Chen Liyun first to calm her down a little. After Chen Liyun's crying became much quieter, I asked: "What's your dog?"
How long has it been?"
The memory of Chen Liyun was still fresh in her mind, so she answered without hesitation: "It has been more than four years, and the rhubarb at home is usually very honest. Even when we meet strangers, we don't shout too loudly. When we are usually fine,
Just tease Rhubarb to sit down and it will sit down. But...but who knew that something like this would happen."
More than four years!
This answer is enough to confirm our inner thoughts.
I winked at Jiang Bing. Jiang Bing understood what I meant and carefully asked Chen Liyun: "Do you still remember that two years ago, your dog went to a nearby hilltop in the west of the city?
?”
"Two years ago..."
Chen Liyun was very attentive to what we asked. I guess this is due to the simplicity of farmers. She subconsciously thinks that police are good comrades who help the people. However, this is not the case.
Chen Liyun thought for a long time, then shook her head blankly and said: "I don't remember. Er Quan and my son have always taken care of the dog at home. I never took the dog out. I usually feed the dog some
meal."
"But I do remember that two years ago my dog was not tied up."
Our eyes suddenly lit up. Two years ago, Zeng Erquan’s dog was not tied up, which proved that his dog might have bitten Yao Yulu’s limbs!
"Then do you still remember when your dog was tied up?" We didn't say anything in a hurry, and asked little by little.
Chen Liyun did not deliberately recall this time, and opened her mouth: "I remember, it was tied up two years ago. My dog has always been obedient. He has not had the habit of tying it up since he was a child. From the time he was a child to two years ago, he had always
It was left alone and never tied up. But that day, for some reason, my son and Er Quan suddenly tied up the dog."
"Your son?"
I glanced at Jiang Bing, who also nodded with some understanding.
Chen Liyun said that it was Zeng Erquan and his son who tied the dog two years ago. Now that Zeng Erquan is dead, does that mean that his son knew something?
Chen Liyun nodded in agreement with our words.
We already got the answer we wanted, so we didn't continue to ask any more questions.
The on-site investigation is still in progress. Huang Guozhong brought a lot of technical police. Based on the information provided by Chen Liyun, we asked Huang Guozhong to scan the fingerprints on the large iron gate.
If someone really knocks on the door, the person who knocked on the door will definitely leave fingerprints.
As long as we find a useful set of fingerprints, we may know who the woman in red is!
Because I promised Xu Tianhao to go back to the police station to conduct an autopsy on Zeng Erquan's body with him, I didn't stay any longer.
To be continued...
