Siheyuan: starting from Tianshi

Chapter 66 66. Murder and Robbery

"Wow! The scenery is so beautiful!"

Lin Wanqing excitedly grabbed the window sill of the train, pulled Ding Xiaoshu and said, "Look, that mountain is so high! It's the first time I've seen such a majestic mountain!"

She has lived in the imperial city since she was a child, and has never gone to other places at all. How can she appreciate the majestic and magnificent rivers and mountains?
"kindness!"

Ding Xiaoshu nodded slightly: "Since you like admiring the wild scenery so much, let's go for a walk and look around more in the future."

As he got along with each other for a long time, his feelings for Lin Wanqing inevitably grew deeper and deeper.

Seeing Ding Xiaoshu's calm performance, Lin Wanqing's little excitement also weakened a lot in an instant.

Soon, she grabbed Ding Xiaoshu's arm again: "What are those dilapidated low houses on the side of the road for?"

On the side of the road, there are rows of dense adobe thatched houses, which are very dilapidated.

"The house where someone else lives!"

Ding Xiaoshu said indifferently: "Do you think that the people in the countryside eat, dress, and live just like the people in the city?"

After a slight pause, he said again: "I have seen many people who are worse than this, becoming beggars and even starving to death."

Lin Wanqing was taken aback, and was at a loss for a moment.

She had heard this from others before.

Only, never actually seen it.

"Don't feel bad!"

Ding Xiaoshu held Lin Wanqing's little hand tightly: "Everyone will get better and better in the future!"

As he said that, he looked firmly into the distance outside the window.

Towards evening, the train stopped at its destination.

Ding Xiaoshu and Lin Wanqing, as well as the female worker safety leader and female police officers got off the train.

The workers' safety in Dongshan Province had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that it was past five o'clock in the afternoon, they planned to take the four of them to the guest house to live in and handle the case tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiaoshu said that he would go to the scene first, check the situation, and make arrangements later.

Soon, Dongshan Provincial Labor Security brought Ding Xiaoshu and four people to the scene to check.

In order not to frighten Lin Wanqing, Ding Xiaoshu asked the female worker security leader and the female police officer to wait for a while.

The leader of the female worker, An, refused to listen. She insisted on following Ding Xiaoshu, and only let the female police officer stay with Lin Wanqing.

She wanted to see how much Ding Xiaoshu, a man known as a detective, weighed and how he handled the case?
Ding Xiaoshu thought that there were industrial security nearby, and he didn't feel any danger, so he didn't object.

He looked at all the corpses at the scene, and they were basically smashed to death by the murderer with a hammer, and the time of death was different.

It is said that the fourteen bodies were all picked up from a nearby cave.

So Ding Xiaoshu went to the cave where the body was found.

Unexpectedly, the souls of the fourteen corpses were all trapped in the cave.

If it wasn't for Ding Xiaoshu, the others wouldn't have noticed that there was a soul here, and there was a very broken formation.

He cast a spell to free the souls and let them lead him to the murderer.

The workers' safety in Dongshan Province were all baffled. When they saw Ding Xiaoshu, they took a casual look at the corpse, went to the extremely dark cave, and asked everyone to follow him.

detective?

That's it?

Since you can't see anything, why not go to the guest house to rest and come back tomorrow, why bother?

If it weren't for their scruples, they would have complained a long time ago.

The leader of the female worker safety was also confused, and asked Ding Xiaoshu in a low voice: "Why, can't you see the problem?"

Before she and Ding Xiaoshu came over to handle the case, the labor security leader had told them to focus on Ding Xiaoshu.

"go!"

Ding Xiaoshu said succinctly: "Go to the scene of the crime first, and you should be able to find the murderer smoothly."

He led everyone to a yard not far away according to the guidance of the ghost: "It's right here, search for it!"

The workers in Dongshan Province couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay. They thought that Ding Xiaoshu thought the conditions of the hostel were not good enough and wanted to find a better place to live.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiaoshu actually asked them to search the yard.

"Search!"

Ding Xiaoshu saw that everyone was hesitant: "Why are you all watching!"

A group of workers came back to their senses, hesitated for a moment, and finally entered the yard to search.

Anyway, he was acting according to orders, and if anything happened, Ding Xiaoshu, the leader of the Imperial City Workers' Safety, would be responsible for it.

Suddenly, someone yelled: "I found out that there are many women's things here, and they probably belonged to those victims!"

Then, another person came out excitedly holding a hammer with faint blood stains on it: "I found the murder weapon!"

The leader of the female worker security yelled: "Hurry up and catch the owner of the yard, don't let him get the news and run away!"

When she found out that her master was not there, she was worried that the murderer had escaped.

"There's no need to inquire!"

Ding Xiaoshu said calmly, "I know where it is?"

After finishing speaking, he took a few workers and rushed towards the train station. There was a soul to help guide Ding Xiaoshu, so why ask others?
At this time, no one dared to doubt Ding Xiaoshu's ability, and followed him to arrest people without saying a word.

Ding Xiaoshu took Gong'an to a shoe repair booth at the train station, and pointed to the lame old man in his 50s: "He is the murderer!"

Although everyone didn't believe that the crippled old man was a murderer, they believed even more that Ding Xiaoshu wouldn't just talk and arrest people indiscriminately.

Sure enough, the lame old man confessed his criminal facts in front of the irrefutable evidence.

It turned out that the crippled old man was an old widower, and his life was very difficult these years. He spent a long time repairing shoes at the train station, and he always looked at the happy people who came to travel and felt unbalanced.

He thought that his life was so difficult, why did these people live such a good life?It's not fair!
The crippled old man has a small yard in his home, where he occasionally entertains guests.

At first, he didn't want to do anything harmful.

However, once a woman lived in his house, and she refused to give money when she left, and she wanted to sue him.

As a result, the lame old man hit the back of the head with a hammer when the woman turned around to go out in a fit of anger.

The woman died on the spot. The crippled old man didn't expect a life to be lost so easily. What's more, he didn't expect that dozens of catties of national food stamps and 200 yuan were found on the woman.

To him, this sum of money is definitely a huge sum of money.

Once born, twice acquainted, the lame old man tasted the sweetness and stopped opening a black shop. He turned the business of murder and robbery into an assembly line.

He specially recruited single women, and beat them to death when he found a good opportunity.

Only money and food stamps, clothes and luggage were left behind, and the lame old man was buried in the grove outside the yard. The corpse was stripped naked, put in sacks, pushed up the mountain with a small cart and thrown into a cave.

The location of his house is very remote, and he has committed [-] cases successively, but he has never been discovered.

If someone hadn't discovered the corpse in the cave by coincidence, we don't know when this case will be exposed, let alone how many innocent people were murdered by the murderous lame old man for money.

There were too many victims in this case, so the labor security leaders asked Ding Xiaoshu to help them solve the case.

After less than an hour, Ding Xiaoshu solved the case.

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

If it wasn't for Ding Xiaoshu who helped solve the case, no one would have thought that the murderer of this big case turned out to be a lame shoe repairer in his 50s.
