The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 264: Wumiao Street Murder Case [Part 1]

Views:

Because most of the day had passed since the body was first discovered.

Naturally, the liveliness that should be watched is almost the same, so when Sun Shaozong arrived, there were only a few old men and old ladies standing at the entrance of the alley.

Of course, this was also because the common people didn't know that Sun Shaozong had to come to the scene to investigate the case in person. Otherwise, because of the star effect of the 'Hundred People Kill' he just brushed off, the water would be blocked in minutes.

Less gossip.

The carriage stood upright at the entrance of the alley, and Jiang Laoqi greeted him with a crowd.

If it weren't for Sun Shaozong's weight, it would be impossible for ordinary people to resist. It is estimated that Jiang Bantou would have rushed over and dismounted Ma Shi himself.

Of course, the dismounting stone cannot be done, but the ready-made flattery is enough.

But Sun Shaozong came here non-stop, not to listen to his flattery. After getting out of the car, he looked at the terrain one by one and asked, "Where is the body? After investigating the scene, What have you found?"

In the face of an expert like Sun Shaozong, Jiang Laoqi naturally did not dare to perfunctory, and hurriedly mentioned one hundred and twenty cautions.

While leading Sun Shaozong into the alley, he reported everything in detail: "Master, after receiving the report, the villain rushed over immediately. At that time, many traces had been covered up because of the people coming and going around here. Living."

"However, after careful investigation, the villain still found that the body had been dragged - it should have been dragged to the inside to throw the body after being beaten to death at the entrance of the alley."

"Because we didn't find any trace of the murder weapon near here, we can only roughly judge from the wound, it should be a blunt weapon such as sticks and masonry."

As he spoke, he came to the corpse, and saw that the deceased was a very handsome young man. Although he was lying on the ground, his body was stained with a lot of dirt, but looking at the underwear and the clean places, he should be quite a man on weekdays. For the careful Lord.

"Lord, please see."

Jiang Laoqi pointed at the shoulder of the corpse and said, "There are obvious signs of pulling force here."

Indeed, there were a lot of pleats on the shoulders of the clothes, and they were raised diagonally upwards. At a glance, it was obvious that someone was pulling on the shoulders and pulling them hard.

"He's got a lot of alcohol on his body - it hasn't cleared up until now, but it's strange that we've cross-examined one by one in the nearby restaurants, but no one has any impression of him."

"At the moment, I can only suspect that he was using wine and vegetables in a nearby mansion."

"In addition, the pockets on the deceased's body that can put things all have traces of rummaging, so we suspect that it was murder for money."

"It was when the villain was checking these that he found the mark of Rongguo Mansion on the lining of his clothes, so he sent someone to report it."

Having said this, seeing Sun Shaozong squatting in front of the corpse and starting to look at the situation on the corpse, Jiang Laoqi hurriedly added: "Although the two hands of the corpse are stained with mud, the nails are clean, obviously there is no time. Struggling, it's already unconscious."

Sun Shaozong didn't make a decision about his inference. He just cast his eyes on the right thumb of the deceased. There were indeed traces of wearing jewelry. In addition, there were some very obvious scratches.

Staring at the scar and scrutinizing it for a while, Sun Shaozong suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as making money and killing people."

Jiang Laoqi was stunned when he heard the words, and said quietly, "Master... Master, what did you see?"

Sun Shaozong tapped his chin and said, "Look carefully at the wound on this thumb."

A wound on your thumb

Jiang Laoqi, Zhao Wuwei and the others were busy coming up to take a closer look.

In fact, Jiang Laoqi had seen it several times before, so he pretended to look at it for a while, and then smiled apologetically: "Master, the wound on the thumb is obviously left by the murderer when he looted the property. It should be a wrench."

Sun Shaozong nodded slightly and said, "You can see that it's a finger wrench, but you have some eyesight—but what about other than that?"

besides

Jiang Laoqi blinked his eyes in confusion, completely unable to understand what Sun Shaozong meant.

"what?"

At this time, Qiu Yunfei, who was beside him, seemed to have discovered something, and he didn't care about the appearance of the Yanei. He leaned over and grabbed the hand, looking at it and touching it, and said with half a sound: "The murderer really didn't want to make money!"

Sun Shaozong could see the strangeness, which was naturally expected by everyone, but this famous dandy Yanei in the Four Nine Cities actually made such a swearing appearance, which made everyone a little surprised.

This accident became the focus of the crowd, and Qiu Yunfeiban was quite proud of showing off: "This official has been with Lao Xu, the man in charge of the government office for a long time recently, and I still have some experience with this autopsy—hey, look at the color of the scars. , it was clear that it took some time after death to get it up!"

Seeing that everyone was still a little puzzled, Qiu Yunfei further added: "After this person dies, the blood will gradually solidify and not flow, and the muscles and skin will also change, so the wounds caused after death and before death will always be There are some differences."

Although he spoke righteously, everyone was still a little dubious, and couldn't help but turn their attention to Sun Shaozong.

"It's exactly as Qiu Jianxiao said."

Sun Shaozong solemnly nodded and said, "If you want to cause this kind of wound, you have to wait at least an hour or two after death - if you really want to kill your life, there is no way that you will not take it at the time, but you will wait an hour or two before pulling your finger. The reason for coming down."

Jiang Laoqi asked respectfully: "Then what do you mean..."

"What's not to understand?!"

Before Sun Shaozong could answer, Qiu Yunfei hurriedly said, "It must have been the murderer who killed him first, and then after someone discovered the body, he took his belongings."

This speculation is quite reasonable, and it can be seen that this kid is not completely brainless.

Sun Shaozong examined the corpse carefully, then stood up straight and asked, "Who was the first person to discover the corpse? Is it possible that he took the property from the deceased?"

"this… "

Jiang Laoqi hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not very likely, because the two adults and three children found the bodies, so I don't think they dare to mess around."

In this way, the suspicion of the first discoverer is really not big. After all, if you search for property in front of the child, it is not easy to hide it.

However, Sun Shaozong still explained to Jiang Laoqi, went to find the family, and prepared to cross-examine more carefully.

Of course, this is just in case, the clue that really makes Sun Shaozong value is actually...

"Qiu Jianxiao, take a few people down the street and go to various restaurants to ask again. Remember to reveal your identity and family background, and you might as well be more domineering."

Qiu Yunfei did not take the order, but asked in doubt: "Have you not already asked about the fast catchers in Wanping County? Why do you need to..."

"Because someone is lying!"

Sun Shaozong pointed out and said with a sneer: "Before I came, I had carefully questioned the relatives of the deceased. He had no acquaintances around here. It was probably just because he was depressed that he came to the nearby restaurant to get drunk."

"And just now I took a closer look. There are a lot of restaurants and brothels on this street. It must be very lively at night."

"Or, the murderer is a daring person who doesn't care about being seen when he does it - although this possibility is not impossible, but if he is so bold, he doesn't have to waste his energy dragging the corpse into the alley, and just run away. "

"Or, when the deceased left the restaurant, the street was completely deserted - that is to say, at least after the hour."

"Since the deceased had been drinking until after midnight, and the restaurant was about to close before leaving drunk, how could the innkeeper have no impression of him at all?"

"So it can basically be inferred that either the store owner is afraid of causing trouble and refuses to reveal the truth; or, the store owner is the murderer!"

"Of course, the latter possibility is not very big. After all, the deceased rarely leaves the Rongguo Mansion. If you remove the possibility of making money, the chances of forming a deadly revenge with the shop here are extremely small."

"That's why I asked you to intimidate one by one and find the liar!"

After listening to this analysis, Qiu Yunfei suddenly regained his spirits, he laughed and said: "If you want to scare people, I'm the best at it! Wait and see, I'll make sure that stupid shopkeeper will cry. Tell the truth!"
