Chapter 210 The Murderer
I didn't expect that by ignoring outsiders, I couldn't guard against my own family.
The rumors outside were nothing to worry about. The first thing that came to Zhu and Sun's mind after hearing those words was anger. Ding Xiang, who was playing with Ding Xiaodie, had no time to react when her mother Sun grabbed her arm.
"Come home with me."
"mother!!"
Her mother's hand was very strong, and Dingxiang almost cried out in pain, but she was afraid of her mother and dared not say a word even with tears in her eyes.
Sun cursed loudly: "What mother? I'm telling you, from now on you can only play with your sister in the house. You are not allowed to go out and play with unlucky people."
Over there, Mrs. Zhu took advantage of this opportunity to just stand there and wink at Ding Xue. She didn't say anything. After all, her daughter had grown up and understood what she meant. Besides, she had to listen to men, and she didn't want to offend Ding Xiaodie now.
So the mother and daughter left quietly.
Ding Xiaodie's attention was all on Ding Xiang. The little girl looked very pitiful. At home, she didn't even have the right to cry.
"Second Aunt, who is the unlucky person?"
Seeing that Sun pinched Ding Xiang a few more times, Ding Xiaodie finally couldn't help but speak.
Sun was so angry that she didn't think much and blurted out, "What do you think? There were so many adults there, no one dared to get too close, and you, a little girl, were not afraid to look at them. Hey, Ding Xiaodie, let me ask you, people say that fortune is something that the whole family shares, whether it's good or bad. Are you possessed? You're trying to bring bad luck back home by getting so close, aren't you?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Ding Xiaodie suddenly found it very funny: "Then don't worry, Second Aunt, you and my family are definitely not from the same family. I hope you don't share my blessings."
Sun glared anxiously: "You..."
"Am I wrong? You don't want to be affected by bad luck, but do you want to enjoy yourself? There's no such thing as a free meal in this world."
"Ding Xiaodie, you're just unlucky to say such things. If you don't want to get involved, then don't get involved. You have no luck at all."
Facing Sun's bared teeth, Ding Xiaodie smiled calmly and shook her head: "You forgot, the porridge you drank yesterday and this morning were all cooked with water from my house. Isn't this enjoying my blessing?"
This sentence made Sun's face turn red.
Indeed, after the two of them lived together, she would secretly hide in her own room every time she cooked, for fear that Zhang Xiu would come to ask for water. You know how precious water is now.
In order to save some water at home, she had to shamelessly pretend not to know about the water source problem.
Now that Ding Xiaodie had exposed her past, this irritated woman turned around and took her anger out on Ding Xiang: "I told you to play with her, I told you to play with her, and now you see, she's cursing at you, and all you do is stand there and watch?"
After saying that, he twisted Dingxiang's arm hard a few times.
Dingxiang couldn't help it and burst into tears.
In this situation, Ding Xiaodie had no way to step forward to stop it, because if she helped Dingxiang again, Dingxiang would only be beaten again, so she could only stand there helplessly watching Sun drag Dingxiang home while cursing.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu pushed open the door and entered the courtyard. Seeing this, he asked in confusion, "What happened to her?"
"fine."
Ding Xiaodie didn't want her mother to worry about this matter anymore. She knew that she had gone out to appease the villagers, just like the street office in her previous life. Such a big thing had happened, and she went out to reassure everyone, which would play a big role.
"Mom, how are the villagers feeling?"
"Most people are scared, especially women. Some want to leave now, fearing another murder will happen."
Zhang Xiu had the same idea as her daughter. In order not to make her daughter sad, she did not tell her the gossip she heard on the way.
Both mother and daughter care about each other.
After listening to this, Ding Xiaodie said, "So the best way now is to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Only by figuring out the whole story can we stop panicking."
That’s the case, Zhang Xiu nodded.
When night fell quietly, Ding Xiaodie waited until the old woman fell asleep and then quietly went to the hut.
As for her mother Zhang Xiu, she was used to it, and she believed that her daughter would be able to catch the murderer.
From afar, the small house where Ding Mei lived stood under the moonlight...
Originally, Lu Xingluo wanted to send people to guard the place, but no one responded after he made the announcement. Everyone must have felt uncomfortable, so he gave up the idea. He was also worried that a rat would get in and bite Ah Mei.
So Lu Xingluo had someone stuff straw into the cracks in the cabin's door.
Just like that, the cabin under the moonlight looked mysterious and scary.
Not to mention that no one would go to the cabin so late at night, even those whose windows face the cabin would be too scared to open the windows when they see it.
Ding Xiaodie had a smooth journey and didn't meet anyone.
But she felt a little embarrassed when she got closer. There was straw in the gap between the doors, and she was afraid that someone would notice her if she went in.
However, if she didn't go in, how could she check on Amei?
After finally observing the surroundings, Ding Xiaodie took out all the straw. Fortunately, the person who was ordered to stuff the straw was afraid, so he didn't stuff it tightly, so she was able to quickly push open the door and go in.
I saw Ah Mei's body lying in a pile of grass in the corner of the hut. Because of the hot weather, in just one day, I could smell a rotten smell in the air.
Ben Xiaodie was not afraid of these. She had prepared for them. She just stuffed two pieces of cotton cloth into her nostrils, then took out the gloves her mother had sewn for her in advance and put them on. She gently pulled up Amei's hand and used the fire to observe it.
Ah Mei was strangled to death at the window, which means that she was very familiar with the other party at that time. Otherwise, how could she walk to the window and give the other party such an opportunity.
Secondly, Ah Mei had her back to the window, which was enough to prove that she had a very high level of trust in the murderer and that he was not just an ordinary friend.
Ding Xiaodie also discovered that there was fresh human tissue in Amei's nails. Although it was barely noticeable, it was obvious that she must have been scratched by him.
This is a very good clue. The murderer has injuries on his body, and the injuries are most likely on his arms.
As long as we follow this clue, we will definitely find the murderer.
Next, Ding Xiaodie discovered an important clue...
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house.
The room was too small, and if someone came in, she would have nowhere to hide. In desperation, Ding Xiaodie had to stand behind the door.
Fortunately, the other party did not have the courage to come in, but wandered back and forth outside the house, sobbing. He was crying, the kind of crying that was suppressed, wanting to cry but not daring to cry out loud, but feeling very painful inside.
Needless to say, this person must be the murderer. According to psychology, most murderers have a habit. They like to return to the crime scene after committing the crime.
The situations vary.
