Chapter 55

"Everyone pay attention to safety! Orderly evacuation!"

Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan have confirmed that the "corpse" that scared the actress on the stage is indeed a real corpse.

Under Qin Chuan's arrangement, Han Cheng and others, who were still able to maintain their sanity, were leading the security guards in the theater to evacuate the crowd in an orderly manner.

After Qin Chuan arranged the evacuation work, he returned to the stage and saw Jiang Wenchi juggling, took out gloves and shoe covers from his pocket, put them on, and knelt down to examine the corpse carefully.

Seeing Qin Chuan approaching, Jiang Wenchi reported without raising his head: "The deceased was a man around 55 to 60 years old."

As Jiang Wenchi said, he opened the corpse's mouth and checked the mouth and tongue.

Off the stage, Wu Qiqi, who was standing next to Han Cheng to help evacuate the crowd, happened to look up. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but scream.

Han Cheng hurriedly said with concern, "Qiqi, are you okay? Don't watch it if you're afraid."

Wu Qiqi bit her pale lips, shook her head, and looked at Jiang Wenchi again, with inexplicable envy in her eyes.

Zhao Shuming, who was opposite Wu Qiqi, also looked at Jiang Wenchi. His light brown pupils were like amber under the dim light of the theater, and there was no emotion to be seen.

"Bleeding eyelids, exophthalmos, ruptured conjunctival capillaries, cyanotic lips, fractured hyoid bone." Jiang Wenchi observed the corpse intently.

Qin Chuan: "It should be mechanical asphyxiation."

Jiang Wenchi nodded: "My preliminary judgment is that the time of death was within 24 hours. The specific time will need forensic examination to determine."

After Jiang Wenchi finished speaking, he raised the chin of the corpse. Although heavy stage makeup was put on to pretend to look like the corpse in the play, the strangle marks on the neck of the corpse were still clearly visible under the uneven foundation.

"The strangulation marks are clear and deep without spreading, and the make-up technique is rough and disorderly. The murderer should be a young man with a strong face."

Qin Chuan nodded in approval: "Putting the corpse on the stage should be a planned murder. Using this method to attract attention may have the possibility of vendetta."

Jiang Wenchi checked the clothes on the corpse: "However, the wrong buttons and the scattered shoelaces also showed that he was in a panic when he committed the crime and his skills were unfamiliar. This person should not be a habitual offender."

As Jiang Wenchi was speaking, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and leaned over to carefully study the strangle marks on the left back of the deceased's neck.

"Captain Qin, look at this strangle mark."

As Jiang Wenchi said, he made a gesture from the air: "This should be where the ring finger of the murderer's left hand is?"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan leaned over to carefully observe the pinch marks on the neck of the corpse.

"It should be traces of pressing and rubbing by a suspected ring-shaped hard object."

Looking from a distance, the two people on the stage were head to head, face to face, studying a dead body endlessly.

He Ming in the audience couldn't stand it and smacked his lips: "Sure enough, third brother's colleagues can't think about it casually. I see that this girl is more interested in corpses than in living people."

Han Cheng smiled and shook his head: "It's not that living people are not interested. If you kill someone, she will be interested in you. I'm sure she's more interested in corpses."

He Ming grinned in pain when he heard the words, "Kid Han Chengyu looks at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, his brain circuit is quite abnormal."

After speaking, she pulled Wu Qiqi: "Miss Wu, be careful with this person, he has a beastly face."

Wu Qiqi smiled shyly, then tilted her head to look at the two people on the stage, thoughtfully: "But Sister Xiaochi and Captain Qin, looking at it like this, don't they match well?"

Everyone heard the words and looked at the stage at the same time, then nodded in unison.

He Ming was suddenly happy: "Don't tell me, the two of them are together, and the third brother doesn't have to worry about not having time to fall in love. We check the corpses and track criminals together every day, and it's considered a date. Thinking about it this way, it's quite exciting."

As if to respond to He Ming's words, Jiang Wenchi on the stage had already started to strip the corpse's clothes.

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, then turned their heads at the same time.

Some stimuli, it's better not to take them lightly.

Seeing that the crowd had basically dispersed, Zhao Shuming greeted Han Cheng and took Fang Ting away.

On the stage, Jiang Wenchi took off the corpse's clothes and made a new discovery: "Captain Qin, the deceased still has two gunshot wounds on both arms!"

"Gunshot wound?"

Qin Chuan leaned over, confirmed that the gunshot wound was correct, and called the criminal police team in the jurisdiction of Haixi Town, requesting that the case be handed over to the special case team.

The country strictly controls firearms, and criminal cases involving firearms in Xinchuan City are, in principle, under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau.

The vacation turned into overtime, but Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan had no complaints, and switched to work mode painlessly in a second.

Jiang Wenchi confidently entrusted Wu Qiqi to Han Cheng's care, after all, the two of them were a match made in heaven.

As for the poor second male Qin Chuan, Jiang Wenchi sighed in his heart, hoping that work could "cure" him.

Haixizhai had a small population. With the help of the police from Haixizhai Police Station, the identity of the deceased was quickly determined. He was the old Haixizhai who had been missing for a day.

The elders of Haixi Village are like the head of the village, and are usually held by respected elders in the village.The tragic death of Elder Zhai was a major event for Haixi Village.

With the support of his nephew, Mr. Zhai's wife staggered to Haixizhai Police Station to identify the body.

The moment she saw Old Zhai's corpse, the old lady knelt down on the ground with her legs limp, crumbling and crying while hugging the corpse.

Mrs. Zhai cried for a long time, and finally calmed down.

Jiang Wenchi poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhai.Old Zhai's nephew was by her side.

Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan pulled up two chairs and sat opposite them.

Jiang Wenchi: "Do you still remember when was the last time you saw Mr. Zhai?"

Mrs. Zhai wiped her tears while recalling: "It was the morning before yesterday, he said he went out and never came back."

Jiang Wenchi: "Did he say where he went?"

Mrs. Zhai shook her head: "No."

Qin Chuan: "Which places did the villager often go to before he was alive?"

The old nephew of Zhai said impatiently: "My uncle is usually in the village, where else can he go?"

Mrs. Zhai nodded.

Qin Chuan glanced at his nephew. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was in the rebellious period. Although he was a little scared of Qin Chuan's aura, he still held his neck and pretended to be disdainful.

Qin Chuan didn't take it seriously, and continued to ask Mrs. Zhai: "Does he have a lot of contact with the cast and crew of this theater?"

Old Zhai's nephew took over the conversation: "My uncle is the old Zhai in the village, and he doesn't know anyone in the village. You don't go to solve the case and catch the murderer, and you pull us to ask questions, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Zhai dragged her nephew to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Qin Chuan said patiently: "The more clues we know, the better it will help us find the murderer."

The old nephew of Zhai said nonchalantly: "Finding clues is your job. My aunt is so old and confused. What can I answer you? Have you finished asking? After asking, we are going home for dinner. I am starving to death. "

　The last day of 2022~Leave a five-star, let us enter the new year happily together!
