Concubine

Chapter 121 Who is the Murderer

The other deceased was a middle-aged woman, leaning against the wall inside the kang, her hair was already gray, her eyes were slightly closed, her face and neck were already covered with wrinkles, her skin was gray and rough, and there was also an old Tu on the heart. The blood that flowed from the similar wound on Si's body formed a pool of blood where she was sitting.

Yang Qiuchi carefully measured the two knife wounds. The shape and depth of the wounds were similar, and they were probably stabbed by the same knife.

Judging from the positions of the spots on the two corpses, they were located at the lower positions of the corpses, which was consistent with the posture of the bodies. In addition to the large pools of blood on the bed and the ground, Yang Qiuchi judged that this was the first scene of the crime.

Judging from the fact that the two deceased were stabbed in the heart and died of hemorrhagic shock, the murderer shot accurately and did not stab the second time. It can be seen that he was very confident in his assassination skills and the results. Judging from this, this person is very likely Professional killers or people with experience in assassination with cold weapons, or people with criminal records, it is unlikely that they are novices.Judging from the fact that neither of the two deceased had resistance injuries, it showed that the deceased had no chance to resist at all, and was killed with a single knife, which further demonstrated the sophistication and calmness of the murderer.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the deceased was familiar with the murderer and did not expect the murderer to kill, so he did not resist. Most of the prostitutes practice alone, and generally they don't go in groups, so it is unlikely that the murderer came to find Xu's prostitute with Tu Laosi.More importantly, judging from the fact that the door latch was pushed open by a knife, it is unlikely that the murderer knew the deceased, otherwise he could have called the door open and killed people when they were not prepared.

The part where the murderer struck was the heart of the deceased, and the deceased had no clothes on. If there is no obstruction, after the heart is stabbed, blood will spurt out. Therefore, the murderer's hands, sleeves and even the front of his clothes are likely to be splashed. Splashes of blood, which can be proved from the wiping marks on the quilt.

Although there was a system of drawing and pressing fingerprints in ancient times, there was no such professional technology as fingerprint identification, and fingerprint comparison did not become a means of criminal investigation, nor could it be used as criminal evidence. Therefore, the killer did not have the concept of concealing his fingerprints. This left a lot of bloody handprints and blood fingerprints on the scene.This gave Yang Qiuchi a reassurance.With these fingerprints, there is no problem in making the same identification of the suspect.

The next step is to determine the time of death. Once the time of death is determined, the time of the murderer's crime can be determined, laying a solid foundation for future investigations.

To check the corpse spot first, Yang Qiuchi lifted the quilt and found that there was a dirty green spot on the skin of Tu Laosi’s lower right abdomen. With the further development of the corpse's corruption, this corpse green will spread to the whole body.Green corpses appear, indicating that the time of death should be 24 hours to 36 hours.

In addition to the corpse green, Yang Qiuchi also found long strips of scars on the thighs and genitals of Tu Lao Si. Some of the scars were old, and some were very fresh. They should have just formed two or three days ago.Looking carefully at these long strips of scars, Yang Qiuchi was a little strange. The scars were obviously not resistance wounds. They seemed to be left by whipping with a leather whip. This person deliberately controlled the intensity, so as to only cause pain to the other party.How strange.

Yang Qiuchi turned Tu Laosi's body over. A large area of ​​corpse spots had appeared on the back of the corpse, but the corpse spots were not very obvious. This was due to the massive blood loss of the deceased.

Although covered by corpse spots, Yang Qiuchi still distinguished the same whiplash scars on the back of Tu Lao Si's thighs, buttocks and back of his thighs, most of them were old, and these long strips of scars were densely packed and almost connected took a slice.It should be accumulated over a long period of time.

Yang Qiuchi carefully observed the plaques on the corpse. After waiting for a while, the plaques did not move down. He pressed the spot with his fingers, and the plaques did not fade, indicating that the plaques had entered the infiltration period.During this period, because the plasma stained by hemoglobin in the blood not only penetrates into the interstitial space, but also infiltrates the tissue cells to color the tissue cells. At this time, the plaques will not transfer, and the finger pressure will not fade.At this stage, the corpse spots have been dead for at least 24 hours.

Yang Qiuchi held Tu Laosi's jaw and moved it, and then moved Tu Laosi's limbs, and found that the jaw stiffness had begun to ease, which was consistent with the situation of the previous corpse spots. The time of death should be 24 hours to 48 hours.

Opening Tu Laosi's eyelids, he found that his cornea was cloudy and connected to the lens, and his pupils were difficult to see through. This was due to the edema and autolysis of the deceased's cornea itself, which gradually turned opaque milky white, making it impossible to see through the pupils.The degree of corneal opacity is regular and can be used to judge the time of death.According to the opacity of the conjunctiva of Tu Lao's fourth eye, Yang Qiuchi judged that the time of death was also between 24 hours and 48 hours.

Yang Qiuchi found a small stick, opened the mouth of the deceased, and scratched the mouth of the deceased with the stick, and found that the oral mucosa had autolyzed and peeled off.The speed of autolysis of the corpse is related to the climate and temperature. It is winter, and the corpse has this obvious autolysis. Based on this, Yang Qiuchi judged that the time of death was more than 24 hours.This is consistent with the occurrence of corpse spots.

Yang Qiuchi did not find any rotten venous network on Tu Laosi's body. The so-called rotten venous network means that the blood vessel wall of the subcutaneous venous network is dark red due to hemolyzed hemoglobin, and passes through the skin in a dendritic shape.If this happens to the corpse, it can be judged that the time of death should have been more than three days.Since Tu Laosi's body hadn't been in this situation yet, the time of death would not exceed three days.

Yang Qiuchi checked Xu's body again, except that there was no whip wound, the other results were roughly the same.

Based on the above examination results, it is estimated that the deceased Tu Laosi should have been dead for 24 to 48 hours.Tu Laosi's parents said that Tu Laosi left home the morning before yesterday, and according to the neighbor's confirmation that the woman had borrowed rice from the neighbor the afternoon before yesterday, the time of death was shortened, and the murder should have occurred between the afternoon of the day before yesterday and yesterday afternoon in time.

The bloody handprint left by the murderer on the quilt needs to be extracted.Yang Qiuchi found a pair of scissors, cut off the wiping marks and bloody handprints on the quilt, and put them in his arms.

Next, it is necessary to investigate the traces left on the ground at the site.

Yang Qiuchi squatted on the edge of the kang, first picked up the shoes of Tu Lao Si and prostitute Xu Shi, and carefully checked the sole patterns and the length and width of the shoes, and then lay down on the ground to observe the shallow and messy footprints. Size is screened.

After spending a long time, after excluding the shoe prints of Tu Laosi and Xu Shi, finally found a shoe print with a different pattern from the shoe prints of the two deceased and a relatively large one.Referring to the traces of Tu Laosi's shoe prints, it can be judged that the two shoe prints were formed at about the same time, indicating that they may have been left by the murderer.In addition, no other suspicious shoe prints were found. It seems that the prostitute Xu's customers are indeed not many, and there are very few people at home.

Judging from the shoe prints and the same wounds on the bodies of the two deceased, there should be only one murderer who entered the scene.

I found a ruler to measure the shoe prints, and according to the calculation formula height = foot length × 6.876, it is estimated that the height of this person should be about 1.8 meters.

Yang Qiuchi observed the shoe print carefully. On the heel, Yang Qiuchi found a small black particle about the size of a needle butt.

The floor of this room is rammed loess, which is relatively flat. There are no similar black particles found on other parts of the floor of the room, indicating that the soles of the murderer's shoes may have fallen off.Yang Qiuchi found a piece of white paper, carefully extracted the black particles, wrapped them in white paper and put them in his arms.

Yang Qiuchi found ink pads and white paper, took the fingerprints and palm prints of Tu Laosi and Xu, folded them and put them in his arms.

The clothes of the two deceased were placed on a chair beside him. After Yang Qiuchi searched carefully, he found a money bag in the pocket of Tu Lao Si's clothes. When he opened it carefully, there were four ingots of silver inside, estimated to be more than 30 yuan. two.

Yang Qiuchi was very strange. They went to Tu Laosi's house yesterday, and his family was impoverished. Looking at Tu Laosi's clothes were old and torn, and he came to find this kind of retired prostitute with gray hair. This Tu Laosi's life It should be more difficult, why do you have so much money on you?There must be something wrong with the origin of this silver, Yang Qiuchi decided to take it back and study it carefully to see if he could find something on it.

Judging from the discovery of the silver and the fact that there were no traces of it being turned over at the scene, the murderer did not look for property after the murder, indicating that the murderer did not come for money, but should be a vendetta or murder—this old man is old, ugly and has no money. The female Xu's family is also old and poor, and her family is sparse, so love murder can basically be ruled out.

After everything was done, it was almost dusk. After checking, Yang Qiuchi left the room.Zhou Zhifu and the others rushed up to meet him.Do not fill in the corpse form.

Yang Qiuchi said: "After inspection, the deceased Tu Laosi and Xu's family were all stabbed in the heart with a sharp object, causing massive bleeding and died. The murder weapon was a single-edged dagger with a blade length of no less than six inches. The width is [-] inches. The murderer is about five feet four inches tall. From the analysis of the scene, there is only one murderer who entered the scene. He committed the crime calmly and cruelly. Veteran, may have committed crimes before."

Zhou Zhifu, Song Zhixian, Song Yun'er and others' eyes were straightened. Based on so many messy things, Yang Qiuchi found so many clues. This case is almost ready to come out.

Zhou Zhifu asked: "Does Mr. Yang have a specific direction for solving this case?"

"The time of death of the deceased should be between the afternoon of the day before yesterday and yesterday afternoon." Yang Qiuchi took out the money bag from his arms, "I found this money bag in the pocket of Tu Laosi's clothes, and there were about 30 taels of silver in it. , I suspect that the money is related to the case, I want to take it back for investigation and analysis, and return the money to the magistrate's yamen in two days. I wonder if it is possible?"

Governor Zhou nodded in agreement. He really wanted to ask what problems he could find out from the money, but he didn't know how to solve this kind of thing, so it was best not to ask too many questions, lest people make people laugh.

Yang Qiuchi said: "According to Liu Biao's testimony, the IOU found at the scene of Jin Keying's burial was probably left behind by Tu Lao Si, and these neighbors all proved that Tu Lao Si was left-handed, which is consistent with the scars on Jin Keying's body. , Now he was suddenly killed, and it is very likely that he was silenced, so Tu Laosi is likely to be the murderer of Jin Keying. From this point of view, there should be a culprit behind the scenes."

Song Zhixian asked: "Then, who is the culprit?"

Yang Qiuchi smiled wryly, do you really regard me as a god?Shaking his head: "It's not clear. Now let's go to the Tu Lao Si's house to search and see if we can find any clues."

Zhou Zhifu and Song Zhixian nodded in agreement, and the corpses here were dealt with afterward, and they rushed to Tu Laosi's house with the arresters.Tu Laosi's house is very simple, there is no big furniture, so I searched it all over in a short while.

Yang Qiuchi found something in the closet in Tu Lao's fourth bedroom. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he found it strange, so he found a piece of cloth to wrap the thing, and after obtaining the consent of Zhou Zhifu, he put it in his arms. Ready to take it back for analysis.

After the search, the prefect of Zhou wanted to hold a banquet for Yang Qiuchi and the others, but Yang Qiuchi declined. He was thinking about the analysis of the physical evidence and the matter of Hao Qian, so he needed to make it clear to Song Qing immediately, and find a way to make Song Qing Whether it is Na Songqing or Hao Qian, whether it is Na Songqing or Hao Qian, they have to discuss with Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue before making a decision.

After eating something in a hurry, Yang Qiuchi and others rushed to Guangde County.

On the way, Yang Qiuchi took his beloved little black dog and Song Qing in a carriage.Song Yun'er pretended not to notice, and hid in her father Song Zhixian's carriage.

On the way, Yang Qiuchi briefly told Song Qing about the process of going to Hao's house, told Song Qing that Hao Qian's family would promise Hao Qian to her as a concubine, and asked Song Qing what to do.

Song Qing said: "Brother Qiuchi, I want to know, are you willing to marry me?" Song Qing also understood that if she divorced, the Hao family would never let Hao Qian marry Yang Qiuchi, so she and Hao Qian married each other. There is only one person in Qian who can become Yang Qiuchi's concubine,

"Of course I do~!" Yang Qiuchi gave Song Qing a deep *, "If I didn't want to, I would have already agreed to the Hao family."

Song Qing chuckled and said, "Don't you feel sorry for Miss Hao's family? She is a famous beauty in Ningguo Mansion!"

Mentioning Hao Qian, Yang Qiuchi immediately thought of the beautiful and captivating red phoenix eyes, as well as the unique temperament on her body, and felt a little regretful, but the principle is the principle. The girls here are all beautiful and have temperament, but feelings cannot be exchanged, just like Bai Qian always wanted to exchange Bai Sumei for Feng Xiaoxue, it is absolutely unacceptable.
