Chapter 286 Here comes another case

  286 Another case came

  Seeing what Zhao Zhitong did, he was also happy, and his grandparents and uncles agreed tacitly.

  Come now, I'm afraid the county government has another case.

   Sure enough, when the yamen servant came to Zhao Zhitong, he saluted directly and respectfully: "Miss Zhao, there is a case in the yamen, and the county magistrate has an invitation."

   "Okay, wait for me to get the tools."

  Zhao Zhitong didn't shirk, nodded, turned and went to the backyard, took his autopsy tools, greeted his grandfather and uncle loudly, and followed the yamen servant.

  When Zhao Zhitong rushed to the scene of the crime, it happened that Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue also arrived at the scene at the same time.

  At this time, Master Wang was imitating Qiao Muchen and deducing the case.

  He first walked to the side of the deceased hanging on the beam, lifted the stool that fell on the ground, compared the distance between the stool and the deceased, nodded and said: "It meets the conditions for suicide by hanging."

   "However, according to the neighbors, Liu Mazi married into the Cheng family, and has been oppressed by his savage wife for a long time. Early this morning, Liu Mazi's neighbors heard Liu Mazi and his wife arguing."

   "If, for a while, he lost his hand and strangled the mother-in-law to death, and finally made it look like suicide in order to get rid of the crime, it is not impossible."

Liu Mazi knelt on the ground, cried and kowtowed: "My lord, Xiaomin was wronged, Xiaomin really didn't kill anyone, it was Xiaomin who went to work and returned home, only to find out that my mother-in-law had hanged herself On the beam."

   County Magistrate Han pursed his lips, thinking about it and did not speak. At this moment, when he looked up, he saw the three of Zhao Zhitong and hurried out of the room: "Oh, it's time to come. Come on, take a look."

  Qiao Muchen looked at the crowd in the yard, and the messy shoe prints on the floor of the room, as well as all kinds of garbage discarded.

   Frowning involuntarily, he said: "My lord, why is the scene destroyed like this? There are messy footprints and litter everywhere. If there is any useful evidence, it has all been destroyed."

County Magistrate Han glanced at the surrounding area. It was indeed a mess. He nodded immediately, turned around and gave orders to his subordinates: "In the future, if you find a murder scene, disperse the crowd as soon as possible, put a rope on the scene, and protect the scene." stand up."

   "It's an adult!"

   County magistrate Han looked at the three of them again.

  Master Wang came over at this moment and asked, "Young Master Qiao, is my deduction just now correct?"

   After finishing speaking, he looked hopefully at Qiao Muchen, as if begging for praise.

  Qiao Muchen didn't express his opinion immediately, but looked at Liu Mazi who kept wiping his tears and sweat. He was thin and knelt on the ground, trembling. When his eyes wandered, Qiao Muchen deliberately caught his right hand hanging by his side.

   Then he glanced at the deceased again. She was obese and was twice as big as Liu Mazi.

  Master Wang: "Young Master Qiao?"

  Qiao Muchen came back to his senses: "What?"

  Master Wang smiled: "How was my reasoning?"

  Qiao Muchen shook his head: "You are just a speculation, and you have to wait for Tongtong to see the corpse before making a decision."

  Master Han hurriedly said: "Miss Zhao, please take a look at the corpse."

  Zhao Zhitong walked to the corpse, and after checking it, he asked someone to put the corpse down from the beam.

  Put on gloves and start the examination: "The deceased's face, swelling and cyanosis, lips and nails are cyanosis."

   "Hemorrhage under the conjunctiva of the eyes, bleeding spots of different sizes on the skin of the face and neck. On the neck, there were obvious rope strangulation marks, and there was no obvious trauma to the body. The cause of death was compression of the neck, strangulation or strangulation."

   "The medicine stains remain in the corner of the mouth, the deceased had drunk the medicine before his death."

The lively Master Wang nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, that Liu Mazi's mother-in-law caught a cold, and she went to De Ren Tang to get the medicine yesterday, and there was still a bowl of medicine in the room that was confiscated. There are also medicine dregs."

  Qiao Muchen stood aside, looked at the corpse, thoughtfully: "How can a person who wants to commit suicide drink medicine before committing suicide?"

  Master Wang quickly replied: "That's right, so, this must not be suicide!"

   Then he looked at Liu Mazi: "Bold, Liu Mazi still hasn't confessed, your mother-in-law didn't commit suicide at all!"

  Liu Mazi felt that the sky was falling: "My lord, I was wronged! The little one really didn't kill anyone. When the young one came back, the young one's mother-in-law was already hanging in the main room."

  Qiao Muchen was a little dissatisfied with Master Wang's rush to draw conclusions, and frowned and said, "Master Wang, it's too early for you to draw conclusions."

  Master Wang was puzzled: "I'm not sure if it was homicide or suicide?"

  Qiao Muchen shook his head, stood up, came to Liu Mazi, and stretched out his hand: "Come, hold my hand with your right hand."

  Liu Mazi was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Qiao Muchen. He was a little puzzled, but he did it anyway.

   After a while, Qiao Muchen nodded and said, "Okay, let go."

  Master Wang followed Qiao Muchen with a perplexed look on his face.

  Qiao Muchen stood up, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said flatly, "Liu Mazi didn't kill people."

  Master Wang followed behind Qiao Muchen. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Why?"

  Qiao Muchen: "It's very simple. Liu Mazi's right hand can't use any strength at all. Regardless of whether he is the opponent of the fat and strong Mrs. Liu, he has difficulty in simply hanging people up."

  At this time, some neighbors thought of something and started talking.

   "That's right, that's right. A year ago, Mazi Liu quarreled with his mother-in-law, and her right hand was injured by her mother-in-law. Since then, Mazi Liu's right hand has been useless, and he can't use his strength."

  Hearing this, County Magistrate Han nodded and said, "It seems that the murderer must be someone else."

  Qiao Muchen returned to the corpse again and asked, "Tongtong, what other details were found on the corpse?"

  Zhao Zhitong nodded: "Yes."

   As he spoke, he pulled away the collar of the corpse, pointed to a mark on the throat, and said, "Look, here."

  Zhao Yue and Qiao Muchen also pulled over to look, and the two almost said in unison: "Finger prints!"

  Zhao Zhitong nodded: "That's right, they strangled people to death first, then hung them up with ropes, pretending to commit suicide."

   "It's just that, although the fingerprints were covered by the traces of the rope, they still showed their feet."

  Zhao Zhitong twisted the deceased to another direction, and continued: "This person wore a finger on his right thumb, and the finger was on the neck of the deceased, leaving marks."

  Zhao Yue sneered and said, "This murderer thought he handled it very secretly, but it's a hundred secrets!"

  With these details and evidence, the scope of finding the murderer is narrowed down.

   According to Liu Mazi's recollection, his mother-in-law had a cousin who was ignorant, drank flowers and wine every day, gambled, and got involved in everything.

   is an out-and-out hooligan.

  But before his father died, he entrusted him to Liu Mazi's mother-in-law's family.

  So, he often came to the house, so Liu Mazi recalled that his cousin wore a finger puller on his right finger.

  The target is just locked.

   County magistrate Han immediately sent someone to arrest him. When he was caught, he was still in Wenrou Township inside the brothel.

  After being arrested and brought to justice, he still insisted on not confessing. In the end, Zhao Yue cheated him a few times before he revealed his secret.

  The real culprit was caught, and Liu Mazi was spared. He brought his two sons and a daughter, knelt down in front of Zhao Zhitong and the others, and kowtowed to thank them one by one.
