But after staring at the bloodstain on the cuff, Sun Shaozong stood up and immediately ordered: "Someone, go and tie Luo Jing to me, and hold him for a while!"
"Take orders!"
Yang Licai, who had been standing at the door, immediately left the warehouse with his knife on his waist.
"Sun Qianhu."
As soon as he heard that Luo Jing was going to be taken down, Lu Yuan immediately became excited and said cheerfully: "Could it be that Luo Jing did this? This guy is really a coward!"
However, Zhu Shan felt that things were a bit strange. Although Luo Jing was a bit domineering on weekdays, Zhu Shan would not believe that he had the guts to do this.
In addition, I have heard before that between the Fusi Divisions of the North and South Townships, they often fight against differences...
"Sun Qianhu."
He couldn't help but cautiously asked: "Is this really what Luo Jing did?"
"of course not!"
Sun Shaozong first gave a negative answer, and then said: "However, he has the responsibility of supervision, but he allows the spies in important positions to lurk in the Gunpowder Bureau for many years without any investigation. This crime of dereliction of duty always runs away. No way!"
"A spy in an important position?!"
Zhu Shan was taken aback, and then cast his suspicious eyes on Lu Yuan. Right now, in this Gunpowder Bureau, there is only Lu Yuan who can be regarded as holding an important position, besides him and Luo Jing.
Unexpectedly, when he looked over, he found that Lu Yuan was also swept over with suspicious eyes - Lu Yuan was also suspicious of his feelings.
"You two don't have to doubt each other."
At this time, he saw Sun Shaozong pouting at Du Ning's body, and said, "The spy I'm talking about is not someone else, but this guy on the ground."
"what?!"
"No way?!"
Zhu Shan and Lu Yuan were both dumbfounded, and then they couldn't help but question: 'Sun Qianhu, if Du Ning is really a spy, who killed him? "
However, Sun Shaozong snorted again: "Of course this guy on the ground did it."
Zhu Shan had to be smarter, and immediately said: "You mean, Du Ning died by suicide?!"
"That's right."
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "There are two flaws that can prove my inference."
"The first is the lantern he used that day. After my repeated tests, to make the external copper mesh look like that, at least a considerable amount of force must be exerted - that is to say, the lantern was thrown to the ground by Duning on his own initiative. , rather than simply dropping off your hands."
"This… "
Zhu Shan couldn't help but question again: "Maybe he found the murderer and smashed the lantern over?"
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "If it was thrown out, how could it land on his left side? What's more, if the force is applied horizontally, it should leave more rolling marks, rather than like this—"
As he said that, he pointed to the ground, circled the traces with cinnabar, and continued: "It won't be like this, just bounced on the ground, rolled two and a half circles, and then stopped obediently."
"So it's basically certain that he took the initiative to push the lantern to the ground!"
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal person's reaction after being attacked in the dark."
"As for the other flaw, it's the marks on his hands and sleeves."
Sun Shaozong said, he turned the corpse's wrist upwards, pointed at the abnormally curved fingers, and said, "This kind of stiff twist, I call it corpse spasm, generally a corpse with this condition, after death, The muscles of the joints will instantly stiffen, fixed at the moment of death."
"And looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he wanted to catch something before he died, but unfortunately he didn't have time to do so."
"But did he really catch nothing?"
Sun Shaozong pressed his two hands together again—the body was completely stiff at this time, which means that he was so strange that he could use brute force to force the body to obey, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to do.
When the two hands were pressed together, the bloodstains on the two sleeves also overlapped, and from some shape details, it was obvious that the bloodstains on them were splattered at the same time.
"Obviously, when the wound was bleeding profusely, these two hands were once folded together!"
"And this level of closeness, I am afraid that a third hand will not be able to intervene in it!"
"It's the bayonet..."
Sun Shaozong picked up the bayonet on the ground, and pushed the buckle at the handle of the knife into the middle of the two hands.
"If he was in this position when you found the body, it can be said that after the murderer attacked, he immediately released the murder weapon, and then he grabbed the murder weapon."
"But his hands were already close together, but when he was found, they were hanging on his sides!"
"Two possibilities!"
Sun Shaozong stretched out two fingers and talked eloquently: "The first possibility is that the murderer pulled his hands apart after he grabbed the bayonet."
"The second possibility is that before he died, he didn't want people to know that he once held the bayonet tightly, so he endured the pain and let go of the bayonet - but he failed to change under the pain and tension, The natural spastic grip of the hands."
"Considering that the murder weapon was left at the scene, I really don't see the need for the murderer to break his fingers, so—"
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "I can only infer that he directed and acted this good show!"
This reasoning cannot be said to be unreasonable.
only…
"Sun Qianhu."
Lu Yuan scratched his head and said, "If he really committed suicide, where did those two guns go? Could it be that they have grown legs and flew away?!"
"Is this..."
Sun Shaozong was waiting for an explanation, when Jia Shanyao cautiously approached him and said embarrassingly, "Sir, you are incompetent, and you really didn't find anything strange."
Didn't find anything strange
Sun Shaozong was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself: "That's right, since this is a military factory, it shouldn't be difficult to get a few tools that are easy to disassemble."
After saying that, he waved his hand from Jia Shanyao and said, "Forget it, I was the only one who didn't think about it, let the brothers go out first."
Jia Shanyao was a bit baffled, but he still followed orders and coaxed the dragon guards who had been transferred in.
After the warehouse was quiet, Sun Shaozong brought everyone to the middle of the gun racks on the south side and pointed to several of the racks, "Take off the muskets and bayonets above, and look at these racks carefully. It's different from other shelves."
Jia Shanyao and Lu Yuan immediately stepped forward and quickly took the musket off the shelf.
Jia Shanyao didn't realize anything was wrong, but Lu Yuan only picked up a musket, then he uttered a 'huh' and frowned, "Why is it so loose?"
"What's loose?"
Jia Shanyao was holding a musket in doubt, and looked it over and over several times, but he couldn't find any looseness there.
"I'm talking about the shelf!"
As Lu Yuan said that, he stretched out his hand to grab the empty gun rack, and when he shook it vigorously, he saw that the rack swayed slightly.
"what?!"
Zhu Shan also realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward to play with another shelf a few times, and then said firmly: "These shelves should have been reassembled and unloaded, and they were done by a novice!"
"That's right!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It's not long since the gun stand was made, and it can't be so loose - we must know that our Gunpowder Bureau is a weapons prison, and we have the strictest requirements for craftsmanship!"
But then he became puzzled again and wondered: "Who is this enough to eat, why are you taking this thing apart when you have nothing to do?"
"Naturally, it's to create a blindfold!"
As Sun Shaozong said, he stepped forward and pointed to a not-so-obvious mark on the table, and said, "Look carefully, there are as many as seven or eight marks on the table, just like the loose shelf. The numbers are almost the same.”
The three of them hurriedly went to look for it, and they found a lot of scratches.
"It's glue! It should be something like fish maw glue that used to stick the loose shelf directly on the table!"
After all, Zhu Shan had been in custody for several years, and he quickly determined the origin of these traces.
"That's right!"
Sun Shaozong continued: "But one of the shelves was not glued to it, but was hidden by Du Ning - until last night, it was wedged back on the table with the other shelves!"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite gun rack, and said, "On the other side, there are similar traces."
"So those two guns didn't just disappear out of thin air last night, but were stolen long before last night!"
"This is also one of the reasons why I want to take Luo Jing. This guy came for a routine inspection the day before yesterday afternoon, but he was fooled by a little trick, which shows how he is usually a false errand!"
Well, there are two chapters today. I originally wanted to make the case more complicated, but I ended up going back and forth, and I fell into a dead end, so I had to cancel the agency I originally thought of.
