Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 356 Suspect Psychology
When Tao Zhaoxue was mentioned, Dongmei's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She bit her lip, as if she had made a decision.

"My lord, I can tell the difference." Dongmei raised her head and said firmly.

"Oh?" Li Canghai said indifferently: "The two of them look the same, how can you tell them apart?"

"Returning to my lord, the body of this servant was forcibly taken away by this thief. Even if this servant dies, he will not forget him! When he took away the body of this servant, this servant had bitten a row of teeth marks on his right shoulder. Just look at their shoulder, you can tell them apart!" Dongmei bit her lip and sobbed softly.

Chang Feng heard the words, and before Li Canghai could say anything, he immediately pulled the shoulders of the two of them out.

Sure enough, a row of teeth marks were found on Lu Mengtong's right shoulder.

"My lord, it's him! He's Lu Jitong!" Dongmei pointed at Lu Mengtong and shouted sharply.

Li Canghai took a deep look at Dongmei, shook his head and said, "He is not Lu Jitong, but Lu Mengtong."

Asking Dongmei to step back for now, Li Canghai walked up to Lu Mengtong and said calmly, "Now, do you have anything to say?"

A layer of sweat came out of Lu Mengtong's palms, and he kept wiping his clothes, but he was extremely annoyed.

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly sneered, "If I were a murderer, why didn't I kill her to silence her? Instead, let her identify me?"

Li Canghai said indifferently: "About this point, I also had some doubts. But since I know your purpose, this problem has been easily solved."

"His purpose? Isn't it to kill Tao Zhaoxue?" Di Qing interrupted.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "His purpose is not just to kill Tao Zhaoxue, but to ruin Lu Jitong's reputation!"

He stared at Lu Mengtong, and said leisurely: "The reason why I think Lu Jitong is the murderer is because there are many clues left by him on purpose. Such as Liu Tie, Dongmei and other witnesses, as long as they insist that they are the murderer of Lu Jitong Then Lu Jitong will not be able to argue with a hundred words, and he has been convicted of the crime."

Li Canghai paused for a moment, he glanced at Lu Jitong, and said calmly, "You didn't kill Dongmei because Dongmei could be used as a witness to identify Lu Jitong. I'm not wrong, right?"

Lu Mengtong's face changed suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Li Canghai firmly.

"Of course, you can also say that Lu Jitong lied to Dongmei by pretending to be you. But it doesn't matter, I still have stronger evidence in my hand." Li Canghai said unhurriedly.

"I don't think you're unfamiliar with these things, are you?" Li Canghai walked to the evidence table, opened a package on it, and said calmly.

Lu Mengtong didn't see what was in the package at first, but when he saw what was in the package, his face instantly turned ashen.

Li Canghai picked up something, it was a folded piece of cloth, the size was no more than an ordinary sachet, but the fabric was extremely elegant.

"Cang Hai, what is this? Why is there still hair in it?" Di Qing leaned over and frowned when he saw that he had removed the cloth to reveal a lock of hair inside.

According to what Li Canghai said, she found this package at the same time as she was going to capture Lu Meng, under the rockery in the peach forest covered with Qimen Dunjia.But she didn't know what was hidden inside, and now she saw that there was hair inside, and she was a little surprised.

Li Canghai's face suddenly became serious, and he said every word: "This is the evidence, the evidence that proves that he killed someone!"

Lu Mengtong's pupils contracted, and he stared intently at the object in Li Canghai's hands, a trace of panic appeared on his face.

"What kind of evidence is this?" Di Qing touched her earlobe, puzzled.

Li Canghai said in a deep voice, "Because these are Tao Zhaoxue's hair, and the fabric comes from the clothes Tao Zhaoxue wore when she was killed."

Although Tao Zhaoxue has been buried in the ground, the clothes she was wearing when she was killed have been preserved as evidence.

Li Canghai ordered people to fetch the clothes Tao Zhaoxue was wearing, and then compared the cloth pieces with the skirt corners of the clothes.

Sure enough, the piece of fabric matched the missing corner of the skirt!

Lu Mengtong's eyes widened, but his pupils were almost shrunk into pinpricks, and his face was full of disbelief.

"If this is not enough evidence, I still have more." Li Canghai didn't seem to intend to give him a chance to speak. He picked up a letter from the package and said, "Believe this letter, you should be more honest than me." more familiar?"

Lu Mengtong looked at Li Canghai in surprise, suddenly understood, and said in a cold tone: "So you entered the secret room!"

"That's right." Li Cang didn't deny it, he said coldly: "Sly Rabbit Three Caves, but you are more cunning than Sly Rabbit. If Qing'er hadn't sent me to Nanhua Temple to recuperate, I wouldn't have accidentally found your hiding place .”

Lu Mengtong didn't appear too flustered, he calmed down, and suddenly said with a smile: "I have no enmity with Miss Tao, why should I kill her?"

"You killed her because you wanted to ruin Lu Jitong's reputation. If I remember correctly, Tao Gong seems to have said that he would betroth his daughter to Lu Jitong, so that the two families will be married forever. As we all know, the Lu family has only one son, so It is Lu Jitong. As the eldest son, you cannot reveal your identity, and you can only live in Lu Jitong's shadow forever, so you want to take revenge on Lu Jitong and the entire Lu family." Li Canghai said plainly.

"Hey...Brother, you really shouldn't be like this!" Lu Jitong sighed.

Li Canghai snorted, and then said: "It seems that you don't seem to know much about your twin brother, so let me tell you about it!"

"Lv Mengtong's hatred for you was far from being condensed overnight. And he killed Tao Zhaoxue not on a whim. He set up a private prison, raped young girls, and his temperament has long since become different from ordinary people."

With one hand behind his back, Li Canghai paced slowly, and said calmly, "During the investigation, I found many inconspicuous doubts, but it was these doubts that made me more sure that the murderer was a man of his own mind." Meticulous people."

Everyone strained their ears and listened carefully to what he said, for fear that they would miss the most exciting part if they were not paying attention.

"In the dungeon of Hetou Village, the official found many bellybands and instruments of torture. At that time, the official inferred the murderer. First, the murderer was cruel and violent. Second, the murderer liked to use tools to torture women, indicating that The murderer is likely to suffer from certain physical dysfunction, and only using tools can make him excited. Third, the murderer likes to collect the bellybands of women who have been tortured by her. From a psychological point of view, this mentality is It was formed in childhood, so the murderer may have seen a woman wearing a bellyband when he was young, so he has a deep obsession with the bellyband."

"Cang Hai, how can what you said help you solve the case?" Di Qing asked puzzledly, wrinkling her small and cute nose.

In her opinion, investigating a case requires paying attention to evidence. Instead of wasting time speculating on the murderer's psychology, it is better to find more clues.
