Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 494 Two detectives one in front and one behind

"The deceased Xiangba suffered neck compression from an external force, with obvious signs of respiratory arrest."

"At the same time, the deceased's abdominal cavity was ruptured by the knife, and the corpse showed obvious signs of blood loss."

"Both of these injuries can lead to death, and they both have corresponding symptoms. Based on the struggle and resistance of the deceased during his lifetime, I judged that Xiang Ba was strangled to death before he bled to death."

"Qiu Wuzuo, see if there is anything you need to add."

Seeing the dead body submitted by Gongsun Zhao, Qiu Yuzuo, who rushed over, grinned and said, "Cooperating with Saburo is comfortable. You don't even need to write down the dead body, and you can directly report to Longtu..."

Gongsun Zhao frowned.

Qiu Wuzuo hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! Is it okay if I take a look?"

In fact, he had already squatted down. As he said this, he inspected the increasingly horrific corpse without hesitation, and showed joy: "What the murderer did saves me trouble."

In ancient times, it was absolutely forbidden to dissect the corpse, unless the corpse had already been dissected. Qiu Wuzuo smiled and dug into the body of the principal, and took out the remaining intestines by the way: "It is rumored that the intestines of Heizi It's also black, but now it looks like it's no different from ordinary people..."

The stench permeated the surrounding area so much that the arresters couldn't stand it, and they stepped aside one after another. The butchers and butchers who brought in before couldn't help vomiting in the distance, only Gongsun Zhao stood indifferently, quietly Waiting for this friend's analysis.

Qiu Wu worked very fast, cleaned up the dirty hands, thought for a while and said, "Are you sure he struggled violently when he was tightened by his intestines?"

Gongsun Zhao pointed to the master's hands, and Qiu Yuzuo looked at his nails, which were full of blood and intestines, and said in surprise: "I really resisted... It's strange, such a disemboweled man Injuries, unless Xiang Heizi's martial arts are as strong as yours, he should have completely lost his ability to resist!"

Gongsun Zhao nodded: "This is the first doubtful point I found."

Qiu Wuzuo raised his eyebrows: "As expected of Saburo, what's the second doubt?"

Gongsun Zhao turned his head and looked not far away.

There came the sound of dogs barking.

Qiu Wuzuo was stunned: "Have you used police dogs to solve the case again?"

The title of police dog has nothing to do with the police, but a warning dog. As early as the Qin Dynasty, it was used in military patrols and alerts. Gongsun Zhao likes to use the nose of a police dog to track the whereabouts of blood.

But soon, one of the policemen with a police dog returned: "Report to Judge Gongsun, the police dogs did not track the smell of blood around the stands."

Another policeman with a police dog also came to report: "Report to Judge Gongsun, there is no smell of blood in those people who are smeared with spices."

Qiu Wuzuo exclaimed in surprise: "There is so much blood, how could I not find it?"

Gongsun Zhao looked around: "A hundred steps outside the happy forest is the military patrol house. The murderer dared to commit crimes in broad daylight, so he probably thought of a way out. What do you think?"

Qiu Fuzuo spread his hands: "I'm just a coroner for the autopsy, and I have to hand over the case to Saburo."

At this moment, the excited voice of the policeman came: "Found it!"

Soon a bloody and muddy shirt was presented in front of him: "Judge Gongsun, this was found behind Happy Forest, and it was buried. The police dogs smelled it, and we found the loose soil, so we dug it out."

Qiu Wuzuo immediately understood when he saw it: "The cool shirt covered by the court clothes has been changed into this look. The murderer wore it to prevent the blood from falling on him."

Gongsun Zhao looked at the clothes carefully, but immediately took off his official robe, carefully placed it aside, then put the bloody clothes on himself, and stretched out his arms to show: "If you are a murderer, wear this Can the reformed Liangshan disembowel the deceased, pull out the intestines and wrap them around the neck to strangle the dead, can it be neatly removed without leaving any blood on the body?"

Qiu Wuzuo commented: "It seems that the cover is not tight enough. I am not afraid of corpses, but I don't know martial arts. It is very difficult to do this, but even if it is replaced by a butcher with a strong martial arts, if I want to calm down so that I can't With blood stains, I'm afraid it can't be done..."

Gongsun Zhao moved his hands and feet: "It's not convenient to move around. Even people who are shorter than me will be greatly affected by wearing this cool shirt..."

Then he pointed to the dirt marks on his body, and looked at the policeman who dug up the bloody clothes: "There is so much soil, how deep is the clothes buried?"

The catcher replied: "It's three feet long."

Gongsun Zhao said decisively: "That's the murderer's way of concealing. The bloody clothes have been prepared long ago. The murderer didn't use this method to escape our pursuit. Go search again!"

The policeman had no complaints, and immediately went to search again.

Gongsun Zhao took off the bloody clothes and handed them to another policeman: "Go and find out the source of this cool shirt, and ask the tailor to see how well the clothes have been modified, and whether they can be used as clues to narrow down the scope of the murderer." .”

The policeman took the order: "Yes!"

Gongsun Zhao wiped the inner shirt clean, and then put on the official robe: "Bring the girl here."

After a while, a group of women came in front of them. They had already put on thick clothes and walked over with their heads down.

Gongsun Zhao looked at the group of women who had different personalities before, but now they were all tired and terrified: "The deceased disappeared during the half-time break, and he didn't show up for the whole second half, so you didn't feel surprised." Is it?"

All the girls trembled for a while, and finally "Sai Guansuo" raised his head and replied: "If you go back to Judge Gongsun, I won't dare to be surprised, and I can't even be distracted. I must fight with all my strength."

Qiu Wuzuo hummed on the side: "Fake it with all your strength?"

"Sai Guan Suo" closed his mouth.

Qiu Fuzuo angrily scolded: "Happy Forest has only been open for more than half a year, and it has become more and more popular day by day, and sumo cheating may be able to fool a group of people, but with the speed of news spread in Bianjing, those who know the truth will definitely More and more, who can you hide from..."

Gongsun Zhao knew that he liked to gamble, and he probably lost money in it, raised his hand to stop him, and continued to ask: "Don't avoid my question, I can see that you have hatred for the deceased, this is the most obvious Motivation, where were you all at halftime?"

"Sai Guansuo" said: "During the intermission, we were all together, applying plasters to each other, and no one left."

Gongsun Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "So they are all suspected? There is a possibility of conspiracy to murder?"

As soon as the words came out, another woman named "Han Chunchun" took a step forward and said sadly: "We were indeed ordered to lie, but the injury of defeat is real. He was already suffering from illness and was supported by ointment. Judge Gongsun is too Look up to us!"

"Sai Guansuo" also said: "We just want to kill Master Xiang, but we don't have the ability. He is guarding against us!"

Gongsun Zhao looked at Qiu Yuzuo: "Go and confirm their injuries."

Qiu Wuzuo grinned and said: "Although they are slaves, men and women are different after all, so it's inconvenient...Okay! Okay! Don't stare at me, I'll check!"

He went up to check, fell silent quickly, and finally sighed: "They are indeed strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and they are seriously injured. They shouldn't be them... Actually, those gamblers who are jealous of losing can do anything... ..."

Gongsun Zhao's mood did not fluctuate: "The murderer used such cruel means to kill Xiang Ba, there are only two possibilities:"

"Either he hates him so much that he must be rewarded for his evil, and he must die a good death, or he heard rumors in the market that he deliberately strangled him with his intestines to cover up his real motive."

"In the latter case, there are currently no clues. In the former case, you are the ones who have the most motive and know Xiangba the most!"

"If you committed a crime, confess it as soon as possible. Xiang Ba abused you, and you can also report it to Fan Longtu. Maybe you can win mercy!"

The girls shook their heads: "We didn't kill Master Xiang."

Gongsun Zhao stared at Nv Yan's slightly trembling body: "I hope you don't regret it, the laws of the Song Dynasty are here, as long as I, Gongsun Zhao, take action, no murderer can escape!"

After all, he didn't look at them again, and walked towards Happy Forest instead.

Qiu Wuzuo looked at the girls and sighed again: "You guys do it for yourself!"

Then he followed behind Gongsun Zhao: "The murder happened inside Washi, why are you going outside? Got a clue? Walk slowly, I can't keep up..."

……

Li Yan took Lin San, Chen Wu and his party away from the crowd, but they didn't leave completely, but walked across the street.

Chen Wu was a little puzzled: "Master, why don't we wait for Brother Zhang to come out?"

Lin San became excited, and said in a low voice: "Just now Erlang's analysis was half right, then Xiang Sanhei really shed a lot of blood when he died, are we looking for the murderer now?"

Li Yandao: "This case is not easy to solve. There were dogs barking inside just now, but the police and shop soldiers are still busy searching, which means that after using the police dogs, they have not found any clues to the murderer."

"That judge Gongsun is a good judge of cases, and he is helpless. I haven't even seen the scene, and I can get even fewer clues..."

"However, from the plight of the other party, it can be seen that the murderer is definitely not a passionate murderer. He did it in a hurry, but premeditated the crime, so he may step on the spot early, so I thought about trying one or two."

Although Li Yan said he was just trying, Lin San inexplicably felt a wave of confidence. Even Chen Wu saw the unhurried pace of this man, and stopped asking and followed him.

Li Yan's destination is very clear, which is the newly opened shop that he just tried, Mei's pork skin.

Taking advantage of this wave of bonuses, the store no longer tried food, but started to open in a prosperous manner. The store is busy, but it is smiling from ear to ear.

And seeing Li Yan bring seven or eight burly men in, especially the clothes of the imperial army, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly greeted him: "This high-ranking official, please come inside!"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't panic the store owner. We're not here to cause trouble, but I just want to ask a question. When did your restaurant open?"

The store owner didn't know why, but seeing him smiling gently, he relaxed a little and replied, "It only opened three days ago."

Li Yan looked at the brand-new decoration in the store again: "When did you decorate it?"

The shopkeeper said: "The artisans were invited a month ago."

Li Yandao: "Do those craftsmen behave strangely?"

The shopkeeper was stunned: "There really is such a person..."

After Li Yan asked carefully, he cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, I will definitely bring friends to the store to take care of business in the future."

After watching the group leave, the shopkeeper was completely relieved and started entertaining the guests.

However, half an hour later, I heard a cold voice from outside: "This store is the most convenient to observe the situation of the shops around Happy Forest..."

When he saw the person walking in wearing an official robe, the shopkeeper's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Young fellow, I'm paying respects to the guest officer!"

Only officials can be called guest officials, and ordinary ones can only be called "customers" or "guests". Gongsun Zhao looked at the environment of the store again, and immediately asked very quickly: "You don't know me? Well, it seems The newly opened... How many staff are there? When will it open? Has there been suspicious people staying for a long time recently, such as craftsmen?"

The shopkeeper froze.

Gongsun Zhao immediately narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and waved, and the policeman behind him immediately rushed out, blocking the front and back of the shop, and then asked, "Who do you think of in the shop? Answer truthfully!"

The store owner was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Speak to the officer, it's not someone in the small store, it's just a gentleman who asked exactly the same question as the guest officer..."

Qiu Wuzuo let out a light snort, but Gongsun Zhao remained expressionless: "When did that man come to ask?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Half an hour ago."

Gongsun Zhao's complexion finally changed.
