Chapter 215 Female Constable
Judging from A-Mei's height, her condition when she died, and the height of the window frame, this person was at least a head and a half taller than A-Mei, and was a very familiar person.
Because he could coax A-Mei to the window, and let her turn around and turn her back to him with confidence.
There is only one explanation for the murderer's purpose: he didn't have the courage to look directly at Ah Mei when she was strangled to death.
Ding Xiaodie observed the four people calmly and instantly eliminated two of them, a forty-year-old and a twenty-year-old. These two people were not tall, and among ancient people, they were considered thin.
And both of them were injured on their backs.
Ding Xiaodie pointed at them and asked Uncle Jiu to take the two men away.
Lu Xingluo asked in confusion: "Xiaodie, how can you be sure they are not the murderers?"
"Amei isn't short. These two men were almost as tall as her. There was no way they could have strangled her by pulling her up. Furthermore, the wounds on their bodies were all on their backs. Given the angle at which Amei was facing away from them, she was most likely to have grabbed them by the neck, or the back of their arms or hands. So, those two definitely couldn't be the murderers."
Listening to Ding Xiaodie's explanation, Lu Xingluo was not only surprised but also a little stunned.
As the young master of a wealthy family, he had never dealt with a murder case before, and he never expected that a little girl from a mountain village could analyze it so clearly in front of him.
No, this makes him feel so stupid. He is not even as knowledgeable as Xiaodie. Are all those books he read in vain?
With a bit of frustration, Lu Xingluo waved his hand, signaling Uncle Jiu to go in and take the two men away.
"The remaining two will be easy!"
Ding Xiaodie narrowed her clear eyes and said, "Don't worry about them at all. Just lock them up here. As time goes by, the murderer will naturally become anxious and uneasy. Then his fox tail will be exposed. First of all, we have to do this..."
She leaned over and whispered to Lu Xingluo that they had to release the security guard that the Lu family had released, because it had been found out that the security guard on duty that night was not the murderer. In this way, the news must be "accidentally" heard by the murderer.
Lu Xingluo opened her mouth and said, "They both had injuries, one on the neck and the other on the back of the hand. When asked, they both said they were accidentally scratched by branches."
"So the best way is to just keep it cool and let him expose himself."
Because he couldn't get close to see the wounds, and Ding Xiaodie was worried that both of them were injured on the same day, which would alert the enemy.
She just thought of this method. Actual questioning is far less effective than breaking down the other party's psychological defenses!
"Okay, all up to you."
Lu Xingluo found this very interesting, and next he wanted to keep an eye on the two people himself.
But after leaving the house, he respectfully clasped his fists and saluted Ding Xiaodie: "In the future, I hope Miss Xiaodie will give me more guidance. Judging from the way you reasoned today, you don't look like a twelve-year-old girl at all. You look more like a female police chief in the government office."
Ding Xiaodie was amused. "Thank you for the compliment, Second Young Master. As for me, it's because my parents taught me well, otherwise I wouldn't know anything. Hey, I'm quite interested in that female constable you mentioned. Maybe tomorrow, after this disaster is over and life settles down, I'll study hard and try to pass the exam to become a female constable."
When it comes to being able to go back to her old job, she is so happy!
Lu Xingluo just thought she was joking. He was just talking nonsense about the female constable. He had never heard of her in real life.
…
Late in the evening.
The murderer who killed Amei finally couldn't bear it anymore and was exposed.
This man was anxious and sweating profusely, and he thought he was the only one awake in the room while his companion was dozing off. He took this opportunity to secretly look through the crack in the door countless times.
Sometimes he would kneel on the ground, put his hands together and pray for something.
If a person has nothing to hide, why would he be so anxious and uneasy?
No one expected that it was the 40-year-old security guard, and his wife was also a servant in the Lu Mansion.
Lu Xingluo did not hesitate and immediately ordered someone to open the door and arrest the person.
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, the guard saw the Second Young Master standing at the door with an angry look in his eyes. He was so scared that his legs softened and he knelt on the ground. "I was wrong, Second Young Master. I shouldn't have killed Ah Mei. Please don't let me bring disaster to my family. Please, Second Young Master, for the sake of me protecting the Lu family for so many years, leave my family a way out."
Lu Xingluo was in pain. As a man, he was a top expert among the Lu family guards and the person Guard Geng trusted the most.
When Guardian Geng left, he specifically left him behind to protect them, but he didn't expect...
Uncle Jiu walked up to him and slapped him in the face, feeling extremely distressed. "You are so confused!"
He waved his hand and had him tied up.
"Second Young Master, what should we do now?"
Lu Xingluo sighed deeply, "Uncle Jiu, tell them not to announce this to anyone. This is our Lu family's business, so we can handle it ourselves. Lock him up first."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the security guard: "Did you teach Ah Mei to steal my mother's jewelry?"
The guard nodded in shame: "I am sorry, Madam. I had no choice but to return Ah Mei and run away. Who would have thought that you would find her so quickly?"
"So you killed her to silence her?"
"yes."
The guards didn't even dare to look Lu Xingluo in the eye. When the second young master was young, he learned martial arts from them, and they would teach them the moves that whoever was good at it.
Who would have thought that today I would have committed an unforgivable mistake and could no longer hold my head up in front of the children of that day.
Lu Xingluo sighed again: "If you knew that Amei was pregnant with your child, I wonder if you would still be able to do it."
The guard's face was filled with shock: "What, Second Young Master, you said Ah Mei...she is pregnant?"
"Yes, she was a young girl who had not experienced much of the world. How could she have fought against your cunning and scheming? Now she is dead in your hands. I am sure that Ah Mei will never understand why you did this to her death."
“I…I…”
The guard stumbled and collapsed to the ground: "No wonder A-Mei kept forcing me to take her away, so this is how it is... so this is how it is..."
When he was working as a security guard in the Lu family, he married a maid in the Lu family. However, he still had no children after many years. Later, after he seduced Amei, he never thought about having children.
But when he least expected it, the thing he had been asking for came to him quietly.
In the end, all of this was ruined by his own hands.
After glancing at the security guard whose face instantly turned ashen, Lu Xingluo turned and left.
His mood was so depressed that it was about to explode. Now, he just wanted to see someone, talk to her and chat with her.
After going out, Lu Xingluo went straight to find Ding Xiaodie.
"No wonder the security guard on duty didn't hear anything. It's because he trusted the other party too much and the other party tampered with the wine." Ding Xiaodie empathized with Lu Xingluo and poured a glass of water for him.
After handing it over, I realized that I had accidentally poured out bottled mineral water, which was very clear without a trace of impurities. This was completely different from the water brought out from the well of the Bingdong tribe.
