Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 29 Zhou Tong Detective Series II: Blood Talisman (8)
"It's a pity that we rolled down, otherwise we might be able to see the murderer." As a woman, Li Ying especially sympathized with the deceased, and hated this kind of rape and murder criminals even more.

"What should we do now?" When Liu Qingte was in a panic, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes from a distance, and then dozens of Mongolian men on horseback appeared around the three of them. .Seeing the female corpse lying on the ground, the dozens of Mongolian men rushed over like crazy and surrounded Zhou Tong, Li Ying and Liu Qingte.

One of the big Mongolian men rushed to the side of the female corpse with a "whoosh", took off his robe to wrap her around her, and then wept bitterly.

"Murderer!" The crying man wiped away his tears, took out the saber from his waist, and stared at Zhou Tong and the others.

"What did he say?" Li Ying was a girl after all, and asked Liu Qingte with some fear.

"He said we were murderers." Liu Qingte's face was already pale.

"Then why don't you explain to them quickly!" Zhou Tong hurriedly urged Liu Qingte to speak. He couldn't help but feel a little headache when he saw these big Mongolian men who were excited. It is really aggrieved that the big man hacked to death with knives.

Liu Qingte panicked when he saw these murderous Mongolian men. Thanks to Zhou Tong's reminder, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted in Mongolian: "We didn't kill people, we killed them." It’s passing by here, passing by here. Don’t misunderstand! If you don’t believe that you can hand us over to the police, you must not lynch! Lynching is against the law...”

However, his incongruous explanation did not calm down the emotions of the surrounding Mongolian men. On the contrary, more people drew their knives and surrounded them step by step.

Li Ying was so frightened by this scene that she burst into tears, and Zhou Tong secretly screamed that something was wrong, hoping that Yan Yongjie, who was secretly protecting them, would show up in time, and only she could "persuade" these Mongolian men to retreat first.

But at this critical moment, Yan Yongjie did not appear, but another steed galloped from a distance, and immediately sat a heroic Mongolian woman.

"Stop!" the Mongolian woman shouted from the horse.

Although all the big Mongolian men were furious, they put away their sabers very obediently.

The woman jumped off the horse, glanced at the female body wrapped in the robe with mournful eyes, then gritted her teeth, and said in a hateful voice, "Take them to the leader!"

As soon as the words fell, the leading Mongolian men immediately rushed towards Zhou Tong, Li Ying and Liu Qingte, knocked them down to the ground and tied them up.Immediately afterwards, the three of them were carried on the backs of the horses respectively, and with the sound of horses singing, they followed the horse team towards the depths of the grassland.

I don't know how long they have been bouncing on the horse's back. When they stopped, the bones of Zhou Tong, Li Ying and Liu Qingte were about to be shattered.The most miserable thing is Li Ying, who has been crying like a tearful person.Zhou Tong held back the pain, looked up, and saw a yurt in front of him.

Three people were escorted to one of the largest yurts.

The yurt is very spacious, and there is an old man sitting in the middle, probably their leader or patriarch, and standing next to him is the woman who just appeared in time, and there are four middle-aged men standing on both sides , Their costumes are gorgeous, and they are obviously people with prominent positions in the clan.

The moment Zhou Tong and the others were forced to kneel on the ground, they felt like they had returned to the ancient Yamen.

First, the weeping Mongolian man cried out in front of everyone. Zhou Tong couldn't understand what he was talking about, but he seemed to know that he was talking about the "evil deeds" of the three of them, and then the woman There was a whisper beside the leader.

"What is he talking about?" Li Ying, who had been in tears, asked Liu Qingte worriedly.

"He said that they saw Zhou Tong groping the dead body with their own eyes...he was doing it..." Liu Qingte's face was red, and he hesitated to translate.

The people standing around looked at Zhou Tong, Li Ying and Liu Qingte with hateful expressions.

The old man's expression was always very stern, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking, but after the woman finished speaking, he finally spoke.

"Did you kill the person?" the old man asked in Chinese.

Seeing that the old man could speak Chinese, Zhou Tong felt relieved. He was really worried that if Liu Qingte was asked to speak Mongolian to communicate, it would cause trouble again.

"Old man, we definitely didn't kill people, I have evidence." Zhou Tong said confidently.

Hearing what Zhou Tong said, the old man was obviously a little surprised, and quickly said: "If you have any evidence, just show it, we Bo'er Jijin people will never wrong a good person."

"Please bring the dead body here." Zhou Tong tried to stand up while talking, he was really not used to kneeling and talking.

Seeing this, the big Mongolian man behind was about to push him down again, but was stopped by the old man waving his hand.

When the big Mongolian man who was crying just now heard that he was going to carry the corpse out, he immediately became furious and protested loudly, causing commotion in the entire yurt.

"What is he talking about?" Zhou Tong asked Liu Qingte next to him in a low voice.

"They said it was an insult to the dead." Liu Qingte said nervously.

But soon, the old man stopped the commotion, looked at Zhou Tong and said seriously: "If you can't prove it later, you will have to pay a heavy price for it!"

"Don't worry, I can definitely prove that we are innocent!" Zhou Tong said firmly.

The old man beckoned, but after a while, the body was lifted up, and Zhou Tong was also untied.

"The evidence is here!" Zhou Tong said, pointing at the neck of the deceased.

All eyes were on the neck of the deceased, because the deceased had been wrapped in a robe, so Zhou Tong gently pulled away a corner of the robe.

The dead man's neck was completely exposed to everyone's eyes, and the purple bruises on the dead man's neck could be seen very clearly.Then, Zhou Tong turned the body over again, and the bruises could still be seen on the back of the neck, but they only occupied a quarter of the nape of the neck, and the bruises completely disappeared in the middle.

"Now everyone can clearly see the bruises on the neck of the deceased, and it is not difficult to infer from the appearance that the bruises were left by the murderer who pinched the neck of the deceased with both hands." Zhou Tong explained, pinching the neck with his own hands. Grabbing the neck of the deceased, "Now I am choking the neck of the deceased with my hands, please watch carefully."

Liu Qingte on the side was afraid that the Mongolian next to him could not understand Chinese, so he translated Zhou Tong's words in Mongolian again.

I saw that although Zhou Tong had tried his best to open the palms of his hands, even so, he could not extend his fingers to the back of the neck of the deceased. The scars were exposed again.

"Everyone can see now that no matter how hard I try, my hands can't match the bruises on the neck of the deceased." After Zhou Tong finished speaking, he stepped forward to untie Liu Qingte's rope, and asked him to repeat what he had just done. Do it again for everyone to see.Similarly, Liu Qingte's hands could not cover the bruises on the neck of the deceased.

"My partner is also unable to do it, and there is another girl who can't do it even more. Obviously the murderer is a man with a bigger body and a huge palm. My partner and I just went to find En and Bayin To commemorate the great Genghis Khan, when we stopped for a rest, I heard someone calling for help, so I rushed over to see what happened, but you misunderstood me as a murderer. More importantly, we have no grievances with this beautiful girl. There is no motive to kill her." Zhou Tong said the righteous words, but in the face of the facts, everyone had to obey.

The old man bent over and stood up, and staggered towards Zhou Tong, Li Ying and Liu Qingte.Under the surprised eyes, the old man personally untied the rope for Liu Qingte and Li Ying, then bowed deeply to the three of them, and said sincerely: "My honored guests, please forgive our stupidity for making a mistake. treat you as murderers."

The other Mongolians also bowed and apologized, with shame on their faces.

The Mongols are actually an extremely simple, generous, and hospitable people. Whenever there are passing guests, they will treat them with hospitality and accommodation. They think that it is a great shame for them to drive away guests after the sun goes down. Belittled by neighbors.The door of the yurt is never locked. When guests come, if there is no one at home, you can get what you need if you want to eat and drink; if you want to live, you can stay at ease;For this matter, the master will never think it is rude, but thinks that you can treat each other with sincerity and is sincerely happy.Previously misunderstood that Zhou Tong and the others were murderers, but now they found out that they were wrong, and the simple Mongolians felt deeply guilty.

Zhou Tong, Li Ying, and Liu Qingte felt a little embarrassed on the contrary, and hurriedly waved their hands. Even Li Ying, who is usually the most savage, said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, just figure it out." In fact, speaking frankly , It cannot be entirely blamed for other people making mistakes, Zhou Tong's behavior towards the corpse, any normal person would suspect that he is the murderer.

The Mongolian woman couldn't control her emotions anymore, she walked to the side of the deceased, squatted down, held the hand of the deceased, and burst into tears.

"It's so pitiful. Her daughter was supposed to be getting married today, but now..." The old man's eyes couldn't help getting wet when he said this.

"So that's the case, old man. If you don't mind, can you tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and maybe the murderer can be found." Zhou Tong's tone of voice made people feel that he had to trust him.

The old man nodded, sighed and said: "Na Yaqin is the most beautiful girl in the clan and has always been loved by everyone. A month ago, she was betrothed to Yin Zhanxi, a warrior in the clan, and she planned to hold a wedding today, but this morning , but found that Na Yaqin was not in his yurt, so almost the whole family went out to look for it, but they did not expect to find her body."

"Who was the last person to see Na Yaqin? When? And who was the first to find out that Na Yaqin was missing?" Zhou Tong asked a series of questions.

The old man immediately asked the question raised by Zhou Tong to the people in the big tent in Mongolian.

Na Yaqin's mother stood up, wiped her tears, and said: "I was still chatting with her last night, and I left until late at night. I was going to hold her head early this morning, but found that she was not in the yurt. I can't see anyone in the whole clan." As she spoke, Na Yaqin's mother couldn't stop crying again.

Liu Qingte acted as an interpreter for Zhou Tong.

"Did she take anything with her when she left, and did she ride a horse?" Zhou Tong asked after pondering for a moment.

The old man still conveyed Zhou Tong's question to the woman in Mongolian.

"No, I didn't take anything with me, and I didn't ride a horse. The horse was tied outside the yurt, so when I first found out that she wasn't there, I thought she was just going for a walk." Na Yaqin's mother recalled.

After hearing Liu Qingte's narration, Zhou Tong said with certainty: "The murderer is a member of the clan."

There was an uproar in the entire yurt.

But Zhou Tong didn't take it seriously at all, as if his words were not shocking, he continued to say: "And the murderer is in the yurt."

This time, after everyone confirmed what Zhou Tong said, the uproar in the yurt turned into commotion.

Zhou Tong ignored the crowd, walked straight to a middle-aged Mongolian man who was about thirty years old, bent down suddenly, and then stood up again. At this time, he actually had an extra snuff bottle in his hand, and said: " Uncle, your things have been dropped."

The Mongolian man also knew Chinese, and when he heard what Zhou Tong said, he immediately touched his belt, but the snuff bottle was not there, so he took the snuff bottle from Zhou Tong's hand and said "thank you" disapprovingly.

"You don't have to thank me, you don't have to thank me. If I want to thank you, I should thank Na Yaqin." Zhou Tong said with a smile on his face.

The Mongolian man's expression changed, and he asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. I found the snuff bottle you took just now from Na Yaqin's hand. She has been holding the snuff bottle tightly." Zhou Tong's eyes were like lightning, and he pointed at Na Yaqin. Impressive.

"Seng Gelin!" Na Yaqin's mother looked at the Mongolian man excitedly.

"Framing the blame is nonsense! You are an insult to the Borjijin family. If you can't produce solid evidence, only your blood can wash away everything you just said!" Seng Gelin, a big Mongolian man Angrily reprimanded Zhou Tong.

"That's right, you can't really say that you killed people with just a snuff bottle, but you still made a big mistake by being smart." Zhou Tong spoke in a calm tone, but every word he said made me feel ashamed. Everyone on the scene was short of breath.

"Old man, can you confirm again that after Na Yaqin disappeared, everyone went out to find her whereabouts?" Zhou Tong asked the tribal leader again.

The old man thought for a while, and then said with certainty: "That's right, except me and a few elderly people, everyone else went out to look for Na Yaqin."

"Then let me ask everyone, who went out with Seng Gelin?" Zhou Tong asked.

Liu Qingte quickly translated this sentence into Mongolian aloud.

"Call the people of all tribes and ask them clearly!" the old man ordered.

Na Yaqin's fiancé Yin Zhanxi, that is, the Mongolian man who was holding Na Yaqin and crying bitterly, ran out immediately.

About ten minutes later, Yin Zhanxi ran back, gave Seng Gelin a hard look, and then said to the old man: "Patriarch, I summoned all the people, and none of them went out with Seng Gelin!"

"I also love Na Yaqin very much. Knowing that she was missing, I immediately rode out to look for her and did not go with anyone else. Does this mean that I am the murderer?" Seng Gelin denied nonchalantly.

"Then you admit that you went out to find Na Yaqin?" Zhou Tong asked immediately.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Tong heard that Seng Gelin's answer was so sure, he immediately laughed, and then said: "Open your eyes and see, whoever went out to look for Yaqin here, whose clothes are not covered with dirt and dust, why are you alone? But it's so clean and bright?"

Zhou Tong didn't give Seng Gelin a chance to continue explaining, and continued in one breath: "You obviously changed your clothes, but why did you change your clothes immediately after you came back in such a hurry? That's because you were raping At the time of Na Yaqin, she made a fierce resistance and tore your clothes to cover up, so you had to do this! And when I checked Na Yaqin's body, I found something wrong in her nails. You only need to compare the clothes you just changed to see if there are fewer fibers in the clothes. More importantly, do you dare to put your hands on Yaqin's neck again?"

Every sentence Zhou Tong said was like thunder from the sky, shocking everyone present, and Seng Gelin's face became more and more ugly. Facing Zhou Tong's stern questioning, he had no room for sophistry at all.

When everyone was still in shock, Seng Gelin suddenly pulled out his saber, roared, and rushed towards Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong also didn't expect that Seng Gelin would attack him in public, and the others couldn't stop the mad Seng Gelin in a hurry, so they could only watch the dazzling scimitar slash at Zhou Tong's head.

Section 10 Alliance
When everyone thought that Zhou Tong was bound to die, Li Ying even closed her eyes amidst the screams, and Zhou Tong herself thought that there would be no more luck this time, but suddenly there was a "bang" With a gunshot, it was not Zhou Tong who fell, but Seng Gelin.

This shot hit Seng Gelin's eyebrows, red blood mixed with yellow brains flowed out from his forehead continuously, his strong body like a bull fell to the ground like a collapsing building.

The curtain of the yurt was opened, and a person who looked like Avalokitesvara to Zhou Tong walked in. It was Yan Yongjie, a detective from the special criminal investigation team.

"Everyone, don't panic, I'm the criminal policeman Yan Yongjie!" Yan Yongjie quickly put away his pistol and took out his police officer ID.

"Please, can you show up earlier next time, every time I do this, I will be scared to death instead of being killed!" Zhou Tong said in shock.
