The winding dirt road, the uneven portal of Cen.
Although the structure can not be called the same, what falls into the eyes is full of mottled and lonely.
This slum is near Xibianmen. Sun Shaozong has not been here for two years. Now that he has revisited the old place, he has not seen any changes.
It seems that Jia Yucun's laudable achievements have not benefited here.
It is understandable that Jia Yucun mainly cares for the middle and upper class in the city; the secondary concern is those destitute refugees who have no place to stand.
Relatively speaking, those who are close to the ground in slums but barely able to support their families have become neglected groups.
"grown ups!"
While evaluating Jia Yucun's political achievements, Long Jingwei, who was leading the way, looked around for a long time, and finally pointed to one of the alleys and shouted, "This is it!"
Sun Shaozong went out from the car window, and saw a small stone tablet with a height of an inch or so at the entrance of the alley, which was less than ten feet wide.
tsk~
It is still the former residence of a man.
This is a popular custom in Beijing. If there is a noble child from the poor family, when the family moves, an inscription will be erected in front of the door.
This is not to show off deliberately, but to stick to one's own style, so that no one is 'watching' and wandering randomly to other homes.
It is said that such 'former residences of noble people' are generally not rented out, or sold to others - and the murderer is unlikely to choose to commit crimes in his own ancestral home.
However, as he got closer, Sun Shaozong was relieved again, because looking at the broken stele, he was afraid that he might not be the emperor of the dynasty.
Less gossip.
Before the carriage could stop at the entrance of the alley, Zhao Wuwei and a few guards had already greeted him from the inside.
Sun Shaozong got off the carriage. Seeing that the people who were fortunate enough to be with Zhao Wuwei were all familiar faces, he named them by name one by one. Then, surrounded by flattered people, he entered the alley.
"How's the on-site investigation going?"
"Return to your lord."
Zhao Wuwei slanted his shoulders and said respectfully, "I checked inside and out a few times, the back door is locked, it seems that no one has come in or out from there for at least a few months, and there are only traces left by us on the wall. ."
"It can basically be concluded that when Wei Shougen was killed, the murderer was not at the scene..."
Others did nothing, but Liu Xianglian couldn't help but question: "How could Wei Shougen be killed if the murderer was not on the scene? Do you want to say that he was seeking short-sightedness?"
Just as Zhao Wuwei was about to explain, Wang Zhen, who was beside him, hurriedly said, "You probably set a trap ahead of time."
"That's right."
Zhao Wuwei continued, "Wei Shougen was surrounded by a few pieces of clothing and an open rattan box—according to Lao Xu's investigation, he should have been bitten to death by some kind of poisonous insect hidden in the box."
"Zuo Zuo Lao Xu?"
Sun Shaozong paused and said in surprise, "Isn't he not used to appearing on the scene?"
Zhao Wuwei smiled and said, "I have been coerced and lured a few times by Lord Tongju, and I have become accustomed to it."
Sun Shaozong can still trust Lao Xu's autopsy skills, which saves him a lot of trouble.
A group of people rushed into the courtyard, and they saw that the whole place was empty and there were no decorations.
Sun Shaozong asked: "Who is the owner of the house, have you checked it out?"
"I checked it out, but the owner of the house moved his family to Jinmen House a few months ago. He only knew that he rented the old house to others before he left, but no one knew who rented it. ."
Rent out a few months ago
At that time, Zhang Biao was in good condition, and there was no sign of things to be exposed - it seems that this yard should have some other uses.
Thinking like this, he has already entered the main room.
However, he saw that the room was also unobstructed, and Zu Zuo Lao Xu was expressionlessly wiping the instruments in front of a twisted corpse.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from the outside, he squeezed out a smile and bowed in salute.
Sun Shaozong waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the results of the autopsy first."
This kind of straight-forward, the most appetizing for Lao Xu, he immediately restrained his smile, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Look at the corpse, the corpse's right hand is obviously swollen, and there are pimple-like erythema on the back of the hand, which is close to the middle finger. In the place where there is a part of the skin that looks like a burn that has not healed, but no obvious wound can be found."
"It is inferred from the subordinates that the deceased should have been pierced by a small needle-like object, pierced into the base of the middle finger, injected with venom, and then twitched and contracted due to the flesh, completely covering the wound - and the suffocation caused by the venom should be his death. main reason."
"Because there are no traces of snakes around, I infer that it may be some kind of poisonous insect hidden in the box."
Wei Shougen's body was stooped into an S shape, lying on his side on the ground, his left hand tightly pinching the forearm of his right hand, probably trying to prevent the spread of the poison, but in the end it was in vain.
While listening to Lao Xu's explanation, Sun Shaozong leaned down to see the erythema and dead skin on the back of Wei Shougen's hand.
Of course he didn't forget the 'darker' he met at the Daxing county government office that day...
wrong!
Now that I think about it, it's not difficult to infer that Wei Shougen made an intentional assumption; and Wang Qian's overly arrogant response might have something to do with this fellow.
What is his purpose then
Could it be that they thought that Zhang Biao's death was related to their private activities, so they were afraid of interfering
"In addition, there are some fresher burns on the back of the deceased."
Lao Xu was still explaining, but he handed Sun Shaozong two silver chopsticks.
Sun Shaozong didn't ask him how to use it. He swiped the chopsticks on the deceased's back a few times, and then lifted the four layers of clothes, revealing the flesh on his back.
But it turned out that the central position of the deceased's back had been cut by scissors.
"These burns..."
Sun Shaozong looked at Wei Shougen's back, where there were burn marks like plum blossoms, and murmured, "It seems to be the traces left by some kind of ceremony."
"Yes, the villain thinks so too."
Lao Xu nodded, but Liu Xianglian, Wang Zhen, and the others next to him were all a little baffled. Plum-shaped ironware is not uncommon these days, so how can you tell that it is a ceremony
It's hard for others to interrupt, but Liu Xianglian doesn't have much taboo: "Second brother, how can you be sure that this is left by some kind of ceremony?"
"It's very simple."
Sun Shaozong pointed at the traces of plum blossoms and said, "Look carefully, these traces are actually not deep, but they look very uniform. If it was involuntary, it would never be the case."
"Why is that?"
Liu Xianglian still didn't know why, even more confused.
Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly, asked Zhao Wuwei who was beside him to ask Huo Zhezi, and blew it on Liu Xianglian's face slowly.
Liu Xianglian hurriedly stepped aside and shouted, "Second brother, what are you doing?!"
"You know dodge, doesn't he know?"
Sun Shaozong pointed at Wei Shougen: "It's fine if you branded it hard. Such a shallow layer will melt away with just a little struggle. Now it's so clear, it must be voluntarily accepted."
"And if it's just to make a mark, you don't have to burn it a lot at one time - so I deduced that this must be the trace of some kind of ritual carried out by Wei Shougen voluntarily."
