Hua Shi transmigrated, inexplicably becoming a lazy, gluttonous, and universally detested vicious older sister who routinely took pleasure in bullying her four young siblings.
Her eldest brot...
With terrifying eyes, he stared at the village chief and shouted, "What do you mean, just take them back like that?! Shouldn't the village chief give us an explanation? Two people died just like that, and you didn't even investigate. You just brushed the matter off like that! If something like this happens again, will this village still be a place for people to live?"
A person shouted out his dissatisfaction loudly, expressing most of his inner thoughts.
"That's right, Village Chief! You can't just let it go like this! The whole thing isn't clear yet!"
Many people quickly took over the conversation and shouted in response, saying that judging from the situation, this matter would not be so easy to resolve unless it was clarified.
After all, two more people died for no apparent reason, and the ground was covered in glaring blood...
Li Kui's forehead bulged, and he looked up at the person who spoke first. His eyes were so intimidating without being angry that they made people feel a little uneasy.
The man swallowed, his heart trembling, but then he regained his composure and shouted, "Village Chief, it's no use glaring at me. Everyone is watching you. You can't just sit there and do your job! You have to tell us what happened!"
"that is…!"
"yes!"
More and more people gathered to watch, and the voices of agreement grew louder and louder.
Li Kui let out a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said to everyone, "Okay, if you want the truth, then I'll tell you!"
His roar, which was so powerful that it filled his dantian, even attracted the attention of Hua Shi, who was frowning and thinking beside him.
Hua Shi also noticed some clues and prepared for the worst.
From her perspective, it's actually pretty easy to guess...
However, Li Kui's next words made her frown even tighter...
"The deceased, Li Lianxin, and Li Yanjun, were cousins for over fifty years. They grew up together and were as close as siblings. This was known to everyone in the village. Even until recently, Li Lianxin and Li Yanjun would visit each other. Years ago, Li Lianxin and Li Yanjun even arranged marriages for their two grandchildren, and the story went viral. Everyone in the village, even three-year-olds, knew about it. You all knew about it, right?"
As Li Kui spoke, he also asked everyone.
The onlookers looked at each other, then looked at Li Kui and nodded without hesitation.
That’s true, but what does that have to do with this matter…?
Li Kui continued, "Well, since the two were so closely related, we can rule out the possibility that they murdered each other. Next, I want to talk about the second possibility. Is it possible that a third person killed them both? The answer is no!"
The crowd became a little noisy when they heard this, obviously disagreeing with it.
Li Kui raised his hand and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. If there really was a third person, there are two people here. If they are not blind, there is no way they would not notice the third person approaching in such a large open space. Moreover, the snow in this area is very neat. Apart from some blood, there are no signs of struggle. So at this point, we can basically rule out the possibility of a third person committing the crime."
He paused, then continued, "Besides, these two are elders in the village. They have lived to such an age. If they had any enemies, why would they wait until they were in their fifties or sixties before thinking of murdering them? I don't think anyone would be so stupid as to go to such great lengths to kill two old women."
The onlookers were getting impatient:
"Then how did they die? There was blood all over the floor!"
"That's right! It wasn't two people who killed each other, nor was it a third person who killed them! It can't be a ghost!"
Someone retorted.
Li Kui gave a sophisticated smile. "Of course it's not a ghost. Now I'm going to reconstruct what happened. As everyone knows, Li Lianxin's son passed the imperial examination yesterday, but unfortunately drowned. If it was your son, who had a bright future ahead of him, but died like this, what would you do?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Li Kui continued impatiently:
"If it were me, I would have done what Li Lianxin did, finding my best old sister and crying my heart out. But yesterday, Li Lianxin was devastated by her son's death, and she became a little crazy. A crazy woman, when she was talking to her old sister, was inevitably emotionally agitated, and a fight broke out. She accidentally pushed Li Yanjun down, and as luck would have it, Li Yanjun's head hit the rock, and blood flowed out in large amounts."
Li Kui pointed to the bloodstains still flowing on the pointed stone.
"After seeing the blood, Li Yanjun was terrified and struggled to get up, but her head was bleeding and she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up at all. She struggled everywhere, and the blood flowed all over the floor. Li Lianxin was also a little scared when she saw so much blood, but before she could react, in a panic, Li Yanjun pulled Li Lianxin, who was supporting her, into the lake, and they both fell into the water. Li Lianxin originally wanted to climb ashore with Li Yanjun, but Li Yanjun was too scared and kept holding Li Lianxin tightly. The two kept struggling, and Li Yanjun refused to let go, afraid of death. Li Lianxin couldn't climb ashore, and after struggling, they both drowned in the lake!"
As Li Kui analyzed the rest of the story, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with his analysis.
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and no more voices of dissent emerged.
Li Kui continued, "If you don't believe me, you can take a look."
He said this and walked towards the two bodies.
Everyone saw him bend down and point at the broken forehead of Xie's grandmother (Li Yanjun), saying, "Look, there are wounds on their heads, hands, and feet. Apart from a cut on Li Yanjun's head, there are no other wounds. Especially on Li Lianxin's hands, there are many red scratches."
