reckless detective

Chapter 20 Niutoushan (2)

Xu Xinger's narration caused the three people in the car to fall into a brief silence. In the end, Wu Cuo concluded: "It is a good thing that the unsolved case is solved. Justice sometimes comes later, but it will not be absent."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "This sounds a bit familiar."

Wu Cuo also laughed, "I think so too."

While speaking, the car was approaching Niutou Mountain Village.Niutoushan Village mainly grows watermelons. A few years ago, a new variety of seedless watermelon was introduced here, which is sweet and juicy. When summer comes, the citizens of Beijing City have to ask first when buying watermelons: Is it from Niutoushan?Demand simply exceeds supply.

Because of this, the villagers of Niutoushan quickly got rid of poverty and became rich, which was even reported in the news.

It was mid-winter, and the car was driving on the provincial road, with open land on both sides. This was the time when farmers were at their leisure.

Seeing the police from the local police station waving at their car at the entrance of the village, Yan Ruyu parked the car at the entrance of the village.The policeman opened the car door, sat in, and introduced himself, "My name is Wang Simiao. It's hard to find the scene. The director asked me to pick you up here."

"Okay, then you show the way."

After wandering around the village for a while, just as they got out of the car, a chunky policeman in his 40s came up to him. Wang Simiao hurriedly said, "This is our Director Qian."

Everyone greeted each other and introduced themselves briefly.

It was only then that Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo found out that Xu Xinger had some friendship with Director Qian. It seemed that the two had cooperated in handling the case 20 years ago, and now they are both middle-aged, so they couldn't help feeling a few words.

Wu Cuo first asked: "Has the scene not been moved?"

"No, we have been here to protect, just waiting for you to investigate the scene." Wang Simiao said.

Yan Ruyu asked, "Who found the corpse?"

Wang Simiao said again: "This child found out. The child has been living here with his grandparents and parents. Occasionally, he went to live with his grandparents in the same village for two days. The child went to live with his grandparents last night. In the morning, his grandpa went to the market to buy something. The ribs, the grandma washed and cut the meat, and asked the child to bring some meat back, but when the child entered the house, he found that all four of them had been killed... Hey! Only 9 years old, how pitiful!"

Wu Cuo was also a little moved, and asked, "Where is the child now?"

"Sent back to grandma and grandpa's house, my colleague stayed there to make some inquiries."

Wu Cuo and Yan Ruyu put on their shoe covers and gloves before walking into the scene.

The two-story building of the deceased's house seemed to be newly built. The white tiles on the outside of the building were shiny, and the cement floor in the yard was also swept clean, which showed that the hostess of the house was very diligent.Like most small rural courtyards, the kitchen and bathroom of the deceased's house were built in the yard, the kitchen was on the west side of the yard, and the bathroom was on the east side of the yard.

Entering the main room, a rice bowl wrapped in a plastic bag was overturned at the door. The pork ribs in the rice bowl rolled out from the opening of the plastic bag and scattered on the ground. They should have been thrown away by panicked children.The room on the right side of the main room is the bedroom of the grandparents and the old couple.At this moment, the grey-haired grandma was lying prone at the door, with her upper body in the main room and her lower body in the bedroom.

The pool of blood under grandma's body flowed all the way to the main room along the ground, and the blood near the door of the main room had been wiped away. The child must have been terrified by such a scene.

There were many splattered bloodstains on the ceiling, walls, and floor of the main room.

Wu Cuo only glanced at the distribution of the bloodstains and said, "Cut your throat, kill me with one knife."

Xu Xing'er conducted a preliminary inspection of grandma's body, which confirmed Wu Cuo's inference.

It is said that experienced trace inspection experts can restore the whole process of the murder by looking at the blood on the scene, and even restore what kind of murder weapon the victim was injured, where the injury was, and the physical characteristics of the murderer.

Wu Cuo is obviously not yet an expert in trace detection, but he is also moving in this direction.

Xu Xinger checked the degree of stiffness of the deceased's joints, then lifted the head of the corpse with difficulty, and looked at the eyes, "The rigor is highly developed, the large joints are stiff, and the cornea is highly cloudy. It is preliminarily estimated that the time of death is about 12 hours, that is, Late last night."

Entering the bedroom on the right side of the main room, I saw the old man's body lying on his back on the bed. The bedding on the bed was stained red with blood, and there were still many splattered blood stains on the ceiling and walls.

Looking at the shape of the corpse, the old man had struggled before his death, and his hands were covered with blood, indicating that he had tried to cover the wound on his neck to save himself.

Xu Xing'er stepped forward to check, "It's still cutting his throat and killing him with a knife, the murderer is quite sophisticated!"

Go up the stairs deep in the main room to the second floor. The second floor is the bedroom of the hostess and hostess. The host is still dead on the bed, in almost the same state as the old man downstairs.

"There is no sign of tampering." Yan Ruyu opened the closet, pulled out one of the drawers, took out a stack of money from it, and said, "Five thousand... The murderer didn't take away the money that was easy to get, which means it's not money... eh? What is it? "

A note under the money caught Yan Ruyu's attention. He picked up the paper and read: "Receipt. Today I received Niu Jie's compensation of 2016 yuan. Niu Chaofan promised not to pursue Niu Deliang's accidental injury to Niu Ernan's eyes in the future." .12 ​​December 14."

Wang Simiao, who entered the room with the three of them, said: "Niu Jie is the male owner of this house. This one died on the bed. It seems that his son Niu Deliang—the child who found the body—injured Niu Ernan's eyes by mistake. Niu Jie Ernan is also a child of this village, and Niu Ernan's father, Niu Chaofan, accepted Niu Jie's 2 yuan in compensation, so it seems that this matter has been private."

Yan Ruyu said: "Looking at the date on the receipt, the incident happened recently. I don't know how much Niu Ernan's eyes were injured. If the injury is serious, 2 yuan can't cure it. Maybe this incident will cause serious conflicts between the two families." Big contradiction."

"Okay, we will pay more attention to Niu Chaofan's house when we visit."

While the few people were talking, Wu Cuo had been observing the blood on the ground.

There was a bloodstain on the ground that was obviously left by dragging, extending from the bed to the stairs.

"The hostess is not here." Wu wrongly said.

Wu Cuo went downstairs along the trailing bloodstain until he reached the gate of the main room, and the bloodstain stopped abruptly.

There was a bloodstain on the threshold, as if someone stepped on it, but because it was only 2 or 3 centimeters wide, even if it was a footprint, it would not be of great value for identification.

Wang Simiao explained: "There was a heavy rain here last night, and the blood outside the house must have been washed away. Oh, by the way, the hostess' body was found in the kitchen!"

Wu wrongly responded, walked out of the main room and came to the yard. He stood in the yard and looked around, and carefully observed the ground from the main room to the kitchen door. There were indeed no traces.

Opening the kitchen door, Wu Cuo was taken aback. Instead of entering the door, he stood in the yard and shouted, "Come and see!"

Yan Ruyu, Xu Xing'er, and Wang Simiao went downstairs, only to see Wu Cuo standing in the yard, looking into the kitchen in a daze, his face full of disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ruyu rushed to Wu Cuo's side, only glanced into the kitchen, and frowned.

　Recently, I practiced push-ups, sit-ups, and planks before going to bed every day. I thought I would lose weight, but when I weighed myself today, I was so angry that I ate hot pot for supper...
