Datang Coroner

Chapter 1976 Nonsense
Li Changbo took Xu Shuangyu to check the boats on Quchi.

Considering the most convenient boat for dumping the body, the boat was the first to be checked.

These small boats are all registered, and it's not like you can just get a small boat and put it in the water for rowing.

Fishing and picking in Quchi is like a farmer. It is the same as paying taxes, and naturally it must be managed in a unified manner.

As soon as Li Changbo gave an order, Li Zheng, who was in charge of the area, hurriedly gathered all the boats.

The number of these ships is not large, only more than 20.

Although it takes time to check, it is not too much.

Xu Shuangyu looked over one by one, and finally found some brown bloodstains on a boat.The bloodstain was covered with a broken net, and it was unknown whether it was covered by accident or intentionally.

Li Changbo called the owner of the ship according to the list.

The owner's name is Liu San.Not a diligent person.

His boat was passed down to him by his father.His ancestors had the ability to weave nets and catch fish.

Because of this boat and this sideline business, they take people boating to enjoy the scenery during festivals and cast nets during the fishing season, and their income is not bad, so their family is also considered well-off.

Until it was passed to Liu San.

Liu San is lazy and doesn't like to work.He felt that rowing and paddling was too tiring, so he simply rented the boat to others during festivals, and only charged the rent himself.

On weekdays, what he likes most is playing money with his friends and visiting Pingkangfang.

But miraculously, he didn't die of poverty either.Instead, he often eats meat and drinks alcohol, and is very proud.

It's just that I haven't saved a lot of money, and I can't even get a wife so far.There is only one old lady who sews and mends at home every day, moaning and sighing.

But I can't control him.

Liu San didn't lose his old mother's food, and the family also provided it, but when he was annoyed by nagging, he would lose his temper and even stay away for days after going out.

Everyone said that Liu San must have done some shady business behind his back.

When Lizheng called Liu San, Liu San still looked awake.

It's just that when he saw Li Changbo, he was still taken aback, and instantly sobered up: "Magistrate Li?"

Li Changbo slightly raised his eyebrows: "You actually know me?"

Liu San laughed a few times: "I know, why don't I know you? I have seen you and County Magistrate Xu from a distance."

Li Hai remained expressionless: "I've been caught."

Petty theft, gambling and fighting will also be taken back to the Yamen for "education".

Of course, it won't be too serious. If you suffer some crimes and fine some money, you will put it back.

And when Li Hai said this, Li Changbo understood.

Li Changbo looked at Liu San and threatened him: "Do you know that you have been involved in a life lawsuit?"

He spoke in a dignified tone, as if speaking the truth.

Of course, it was true in the first place—just not that serious.

Liu San is like a monkey with kidney deficiency, so you can tell who he is at a glance.He dares to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, but he is absolutely incapable of killing people.

But Liu San was also taken aback.His eyes were wide open, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "I didn't! I was wronged!"

"Let me ask you, where did the blood on your boat come from?" Li Changbo pointed to the boat.

Liu San took a look in bewilderment, "How can there be blood?"

Xu Shuangyu kindly pushed aside the broken net and showed him.

Liu San was taken aback, shaking his head like a rattle: "I really don't know! I really don't know! I haven't been on a boat for half a year, and I rented it out to others!"

He thought about it, and suddenly cursed: "Damn it, I know, someone must be trying to kill me—"

Li Changbo gave him a cold look, feeling like his ears were dirty.

Liu San hurriedly kept silent.Justified in a low voice: "I really don't know how I got here."

"Let me ask you, who has your boat been rented to in the past few days?" Li Changbo then asked him.

Liu San thought for a while: "It was leased to the foreman who made the river lamp."

When the boats in Quchi docked, they were all on the side of a pier.There are people guarding the pier to prevent people from secretly fishing at night or secretly destroying other people's boats.It is also easy to manage.

Before making river lanterns, those craftsmen rented many boats.

This is not fake.And during this period of time, those craftsmen will also use boats to maintain the river lights.

Li Changbo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you lying? Are you sure you only rent it to them?"

Liu San almost swears to the sky, only saying that there is no lie.

Li Changbo nodded, and called the person in charge of the river lantern.

But the craftsman in charge of the river lantern said that when he went to light the river lantern on the [-]th afternoon of the first lunar month, he saw nothing unusual.At that time, the two of them sailed together to light the river lanterns, but neither of them saw the dead body.

The craftsman was very helpless: "If any of us saw the dead body, wouldn't we shout at that time?"

This also makes sense.

Seeing that this matter was going to become an unsolved case, Li Changbo frowned suddenly: This is so strange.

Li Changbo pondered for a moment, then asked the craftsman: "Which two people went to light the river lanterns that day? Can you use a boat to record it?"

The craftsman took out the booklet.

Not only the name of the person, but also the ship number is clearly recorded on it.

It was true that two craftsmen went to light the lamps yesterday, but they did not use Liu San's boat.

Looking forward, Liu San's boat was used only once, and there was no record of using it again.And that time, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The sixth day of the first lunar month is already ten days away, no matter how you calculate it, it will not be that time to dump the body.

But the bloodstains on the boat are another ironclad evidence.

Li Changbo looked at Liu San burningly: "What else do you have to say?"

Liu San was dumbfounded: "I really don't know what's going on——"

He knelt and sat on the ground stupidly, completely dumbfounded.

Li Changbo thought for a moment and asked him, "What are you doing on the twelfth day of the first lunar month? What about the eleventh day?"

"I'm at my friend, Yinghong's house." Liu San reacted immediately, and hastily recounted his whereabouts in the past few days: "Several of us were drinking and having fun at her house. I just returned home yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can Get someone to ask."

Li Changbo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

Li Hai bowed his head and whispered: "The enemy."

But after Li Changbo thought for a while, he didn't continue to ask, but got up: "Forget it, you guys should ask someone to check where Liu San was in those few days. Then we can make a decision."

After saying this, he left with the people from the yamen.

Liu San jumped on the bank and scolded: "Which bastard dared not admit that he used my boat? It made me suffer! Don't let me know who it is!"

Li Changbo returned to the Yamen.He turned his head and asked Li Hai to check this line.

Seeing that Li Changbo didn't find anything, Fu Shiyi was disappointed, but he only comforted him: "It's okay, don't think so much, we still have time. Don't worry. And now there are so many lines—"

However, Li Changbo said softly: "I think someone is leading us by the nose. It is because there are too many lines that it is difficult to investigate. There are not enough people."

And these lines may not be able to check to the end.

So Li Changbo couldn't help frowning between his brows.
