Chapter 13 Restoring the scene
Xia Chu showed a certain degree of tolerance towards Jiang Xiyuan's self-praise, he just smiled salty, cleared his throat and said, "I went to the prison of the government office with Ruan Xi this morning, and asked again The situation at the time of Li Erping’s case. The situation is similar to what was said yesterday, except for a few more details.”

"What details?"

"She said she met the deceased at the door of the westernmost room on the south side of the elegant courtyard." Xia Chu turned and pointed to Jiang Xiyuan, "After the deceased harassed her, she struggled to break free and ran along the south corridor to the backyard. After running for two steps, the deceased chased after her again, she drew her knife out of desperation, and turned around to defend herself."

Xia Chu walked to the door of the westernmost room, then turned around and took two big steps westward.

"Li Erping said that after she swung the knife, she heard the deceased swear a few words, it was dirty, so I won't repeat it, it probably meant 'You little girl, I will kill you if I catch you'."

Xia Chu said these few words in the tone of a hooligan, but he didn't imitate it, Jiang Xiyuan couldn't help smiling.

"From this sentence, it can be heard that the deceased did not intend to let Li Erping go. Li Erping took two steps back holding the knife, and swung the knife again to stop the deceased from coming. At this time..."

Xia Chu paused, and raised a finger to signal Jiang Xiyuan to pay attention to this place, "Li Erping said that she heard two muffled groans, and then a bang. According to Li Erping, she felt that she had scratched something at the time." , She thought she had seriously injured the deceased, she was very scared, her legs were weak, and then she wanted to turn around and continue running to the backyard."

"That's right. She hurt the deceased first, ran two steps, and after hearing the words of the deceased, she swung the knife again. Maybe she stabbed the knife into the heart of the deceased at that time, or the deceased rushed forward I hit the tip of the knife myself." Jiang Xiyuan said, "She said she scratched something, or maybe she lied to protect herself."

"No." Xia Chu shook his head, "First, if she used it to pierce the deceased's heart, it is impossible for her to have no blood on her body. The blood pressure of the heart will spurt the blood far and fast. Unless it is a death It took a long time to draw the knife, but Wu made it clear during the autopsy that the deceased died for a short time and there was still warmth in his body."

"Blood pressure? What?"

Xia Chu pursed his lips. He didn't know how to explain it, so he simply ignored Jiang Xiyuan's question, "Master Jiang, if you don't believe me, you can ask the butcher."

"It's not that I don't believe it, I..."

"Second." Xia Chu interrupted Jiang Xiyuan's words, "Master Jiang, look here." Xia Chu pointed to the pillar on the westernmost side of the corridor and said, "There are two scratches on this pillar, it can be seen that it is It is new, and the height is basically the same as the height that Li Erping can reach when he swings his arms. Then these two stabs plus the two stabs on the body of the deceased, there are four places in total, which is consistent with what Li Erping said, excluding the fatal one. "

Xia Chu spoke quickly, and Jiang Xiyuan still couldn't digest it after he finished speaking. He looked at the two knife marks, "Why didn't you include the fatal knife?"

Xia Chu sighed, "Didn't I tell you that she has no blood on her body!"

"Oh."

"One more point. Yesterday I wondered why she was caught in the West Corridor. No matter according to normal thinking or Li Erping's own narrative, she should go to the backyard. The West Corridor leads to the front open hall, where There are a lot of people, where are you going and what are you doing?"

"Maybe you are in a panic?"

"No. I deliberately asked Li Erping this question today, and she told me that she ran into a pillar when she was running, and the collision messed up her direction, so she ran into the West Corridor .”

"Pillars?" Jiang Xiyuan looked around, frowned slightly, and felt that there was something wrong.

"Your Majesty Jiang also noticed it?" Xia Chu smiled, and walked back to the porch with the knife marks on it, "Li Erping swung the knife here at the end, and then she turned around and ran to the backyard, I'll let her run away One step." Xia Chu took a step forward, then looked at Jiang Xiyuan and said, "Master Jiang, this is the southwest corner of the corridor, the south side is the rockery, and the north side is the west corridor, where are there any pillars?"

Jiang Xiyuan nodded in agreement.

"So I thought, that's not a colonnade. It should be the murderer that Li Erping bumped into."
