Chapter 7 homicide

"The deceased was murdered by homicide, and the murderer must not be the boy."

Hearing this conclusion, Zhang Yong's eyes lit up suddenly, "How do you know?"

"Just now Uncle Zhang told me about the dispute between the deceased and the young man." Lu Li tilted his head slightly, his side face was soft and gentle under the candlelight, and his eyes were wise. Didn't come around behind the dead, but that's it?"

Zhang Yong thought about it carefully.Because it is a murder case, all details must be investigated, especially the fight is more important. According to the statement he personally asked, the young man did not go around behind the deceased, "It is true."

"Uncle Zhang, please take a look." Lu Li led Zhang Yong to take two steps forward, pointing to the bruises on the deceased's body, "The wounds on the deceased's body are all on the arms and shoulders, round in shape, and according to the description, these should be caused by arguing with the young man As for the boxing injury, the juvenile was weak and aggressive, and did not attack the vitals of the deceased."

Zhang Yong nodded, "According to the testimony of the onlookers, the strong man only blocked the young man's fist a few times, but the young man's injuries were more serious."

"These scars are relatively shallow, obviously lacking in strength, and they are not fatal. There are no key acupoints in the wounds, and it is impossible for the deceased to lose strength because of this. It is obvious that these injuries caused by the young man have nothing to the deceased. I’ve never heard of a few blows to the arms that can kill a person.”

Zhang Yong also agrees with this point.And according to his many years of experience, it can be seen that the deceased died of drowning. Lu Li's inspection results confirmed this point, but—"Why was it a homicide?" The deceased smelled so heavily of alcohol, why didn't he slip into the water and drown?

"Uncle Zhang, please look here." Lu Li slightly turned the deceased's head to the right, and brought a candle close to him, "This is the main cause of the deceased's drowning."

Zhang Yong looked forward and gasped.

On the left side of the neck of the deceased, there was a finger-thick bruise, which spread from the collarbone to the back.

Lu Li turned the deceased's head to the left again, "Look here again."

On the right side too!

Lu Li lifted the corpse to make it lie on its side, moved the candle down, and Zhang Yong leaned over to look. There were two black and blue bruises on the neck of the deceased, intersecting at the back of the neck!

"Is this pinched by hand?" Zhang Yong looked solemn.

Lu Li shook his head, "The deceased drowned in the water, and there was this scar on the back of his neck. I guessed that someone held his back neck to prevent him from surfacing, and left this mark. At first, I also guessed it was a hand, but people His hands are not so long, and the length of the thumb and index finger cannot be the same, nor can they be as thick as the top and bottom... The crime tools have a special shape, some of which are shaped like the word "Y", and they may be a section of tree branch with the right hardness and shape."

Zhang Yong frowned slightly, his eyes were full of thoughts, as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Li concluded, "The deceased lost one of his shoes and was scattered. He was only struggling in the water, and there was no trace of violent tearing with others. He may have fallen into the water by himself, or was pushed into the water inadvertently, but no matter what How drunk is he, whether he can swim by himself, he will die, it must be due to external pressure. As for the cloth strip between his fingers, it is likely that when he was closest to the murderer, he unconsciously waved his hand and tore it off. But the murderer was a little far away from him, and he did not I can have more contact with the murderer, such as scratching the murderer's nails and leaving traces of meat."

Zhang Yong listened carefully, "So this is a sudden murder, not a long-term plan."

"Exactly." Lu Li laid the body flat and covered it with a white cloth. "The impromptu killers have many flaws. Most of them are jealous and resentful suppressed for a long time. When they see no one around, they just have malicious intentions. Most of the murderers are acquaintances, or Stakeholders."

After finishing everything, he smiled and looked at Zhang Yong, "You said before that the boy was an outsider, and now all the evidence points to him. The possibility of him being the murderer is very low. He was nervous and flustered. This is probably the first time he has encountered such a thing. I am afraid of such things. Uncle Zhang should check more local people, especially the neighbors of the deceased, to see if there are any grievances such as property, personal relationship, and feud."

Zhang Yong nodded, agreeing with Lu Li's point of view very much.Common people, there will be death cases, mostly because of property, personal relationship, old grievances.In this case, the family members of the deceased were excited, but the county magistrate in the neighboring county was not around, and he was so worried that he had a headache. But after Rousseau's analysis and analysis, the case became very clear, and there was evidence...

He thought about how to solve the case, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Lu Li had covered the deceased again, and poured the remaining vinegar in the porcelain bottle on the burning Atractylodes saponins.The burning fire was extinguished when it met vinegar, and a cloud of white smoke came out.

Lu Li stepped over the brazier, and the smoke stained his clothes.

"Uncle Zhang?" Lu Li looked at him with a smile, "Although the corpse is freshly dead, the breath of corpse still exists. Just in case, you should also step over."

Zhang Yong agreed, lifted the corner of his robe, and stepped over the brazier.

Seeing that Lu Li had just performed the autopsy, all his actions were carried out in a steady manner, as if he had returned to the time when he secretly followed his grandfather to the autopsy when he was a child.The same is true of my grandfather, with a calm demeanor, seriousness and carefulness, checking every item, finding out the cause of death, looking for evidence, and helping to solve the case.

The difference is that Lu Li is still just a young man with a slender figure, but his grandfather is an old man with a goatee.

An autopsy is not only important for the Shangguan, but also for the arrest of the head, and even more important for the deceased.

It is the best consolation for them and their families that those who died unjustly can be brought to justice.

Looking at the smiling and modest young man in front of him, Zhang Yong suddenly felt that he might be able to go further than his grandfather.

"Let's go, let's go home." He patted Lu Li on the back with a silly smile.

……

Because Lu Li did such a big favor, Zhang Yong felt sorry for his poor life in Liu's house, thinking that it will be the twelfth lunar month soon, and the new year is not far away, so he specially ordered Zhang Meng to take him to play outside for a good day, and he was generous. A lot of pocket money was given.

Zhang Meng was willing in every possible way, regardless of Lu Li's evasive eyes, he agreed repeatedly, and pulled Lu Li out of the bed early the next morning.

Lu Li was dying, "It's so cold outside..."

"My mother said to bring you charcoal, and told you not to!" Zhang Meng glared at him, "I will bring charcoal when I come back in a while, and if you dare to say no, I will turn against you!"

Although Zhang Meng spoke harshly, he was not slow at all to take clothes for Lu Li, "There is no charcoal in the winter house, and it is colder than outside. Fortunately, the climate in central Sichuan is warm, much better than in the north. I heard that outside the north It can freeze people to death! You can wear more clothes, take a walk outside, and you will be warm..."

He was nagging and worrying too much, but Lu Li didn't care, so he had to get up, dress and wash, and go out with him.

In the past two days, he wants to read more books and learn more about the world, but it is also good to go out for a walk. He learned how to learn the language of the ancients after a walk yesterday. If he walks around again today, he might learn more... …

Zhang Meng listened to Cao's orders at home, and dragged Lu Li to buy him things, such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, snacks and cakes, favorite gadgets, he was extremely busy.

Lu Li was staring at a naive clay doll in front of a stall, when someone grabbed his arm suddenly, "Lu Li! Are you Lu Li!"

Lu Li was taken aback, and turned around to look—it was the young man in Chinese clothes that he had seen yesterday morning.

Because the young man behaved differently at that time, he told Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong followed up and found out that the young man had quarreled with the drowned person, and the family of the deceased followed him. The young man was probably in some trouble.

The young man has a narrow face and slender eyebrows, and looks upright. He wears a round-neck gown with pearl blue feather satin, ermine trim, a jade crown on his head, and gold jade hanging from his waist. , as if catching some life-saving straw...

"I am, I don't know about you—" Lu Li still doesn't know the name of this person.

"Yes, that's enough!" The young man grabbed Lu Li's sleeve, and his voice was like a cannonball, "I heard that it was your autopsy, are you sure I'm not the murderer?"

There is no need for Lu Li to keep this matter secret. When Zhang Yong asked last night, he agreed to spread the word so that Zhang Yong could help him operate it in the future, but he did not expect the matter to spread so quickly.

"All kinds of evidence show that the possibility of you being the murderer is very low, but..."

The boy didn't listen to the words behind the but word, he just grinned, let go of his arm, and waved his hand proudly, "What do you like at this stall? I'll take care of everything!"

Lu Li: ...

Isn't this person... a little dick?What kind of brain circuit is this!

Yesterday morning, he saw that this person behaved differently, because it was the scene of death, and any suspicious points could not be ignored, so he pointed this person to Zhang Yong, who really found out that he had contact with the deceased, and also gave He brought a certain amount of trouble, but in the end he wasn't the murderer, so Lu Li had wronged him, but Lu Li didn't feel any guilt about what he did.

But this person rushed forward, with a kind of intimacy and flattery... Lu Li was a little at a loss, what does this person want to do!

"Do you like this stupid, fat, fat doll?" With a look of disgust on the face of "rural rough things that are not exquisite at all, what's so good about them", he took out pieces of money from his arms and threw them to the stall owner, "Take these stupid dolls Pack it up for me!"

"Wait a minute—" Lu Li stopped his movement, his brows slightly twitched, "Are you going to..."

"Don't you like it?"

"You want to buy it for me?" Lu Li pointed at himself.

"Of course!" The boy said, "I don't like buying it for you, it's so stupid, I don't like it at all."

Lu Li sighed, "I don't want it."

"No... that's great!" The young man grabbed Lu Li's arm again, and pointed excitedly at the corner shop, "It just so happens that the things here are not very good, let's go to that shop, I will do whatever you like. Buy it for you!"

Lu Li pulled out his arm and looked at him with complicated eyes.

The young man's eyes were a little weak when he looked at him, and he puffed up his chest for a while, "Master is rich!"

Lu Li thought that this person might not be able to speak normally anymore, so he straightened his expression and said seriously, "It's good that you have money, but your money is your money. You and I have never met each other. We are neither relatives nor old friends. How can I?" I can have something from you."

"That's right! We don't know each other yet!" The young man punched his palms and introduced himself with a grin, "My name is Shen Wansha!"

The point is not not to know each other, but to buy something...

Lu Li felt a little headache, and looking at Zhang Meng standing behind him, the child also looked at Shen Wansha in amazement, with a look of curiosity of 'where did this strange creature come from'.

Shen Wansha was very familiar, "Where do you live? I want to move in and live with you!"

Lu Li's eyebrows twitched, "This... I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

"It's inconvenient...it's okay," the young man waved his hands generously, "It's fine if there is an inn near my home!"

"Sorry, let me take the liberty to ask, why are you so...so..." posted.Lu Li was thinking about how to use the words here to express this meaning implicitly, but Shen Wansha slapped his thigh, "It's not that annoying Wang family!"

"What does a dead person have to do with me? Even if that person had a quarrel with me before, I didn't kill anyone! Even if I extort some money, I can give it generously, young master, but they just grabbed me and insisted on saying I am a murderer. I said that the life of a living person can’t be measured by mere money. I can’t sleep or eat well if I’m entangled! Fortunately, you are amazing. It’s not me who is the murderer. , you explain to them, I am not a murderer!"

Speaking of this, Shen Wansha rubbed his hands, smiling flatteringly, "Of course I'm sorry for causing you trouble, I don't have any other benefits, just one thing, rich enough! Whatever you want, no matter how much money, But if you say it, I will buy it all for you, as a thank you!"

This is meeting a rich man...

Lu Li found it very novel. It was the first time he encountered such a local tyrant who exposed his wealth and expressed his willingness to spend it.Suddenly, interest flashed in his eyes, and he rubbed his chin to look at Shen Wansha.

Shen Wansha felt hairy all over his body when he looked at him, but he didn't dare to leave, so he cupped his hands and begged, "I really can't do anything, brother, help me...help me..."

In Lu Li's previous life, his father was a policeman, his mother was a teacher, and his brother was a forensic doctor. The three views are still very upright.If it's not something he should have, he won't take it.Although he envied Shen Wansha for being rich, no matter how much he had, it shouldn't belong to him.

Having admired the local tyrant enough, he smiled and said two words, "No."

Shen Wansha froze immediately.He saw that Lu Li was a young man with a delicate appearance and a kind complexion. He thought that he must be tender-faced, and he didn't want to reject him so harshly...

It's not that Lu Li doesn't want to help, it's just that he lives in Liu's house, there are no conditions or anything, that area is a residential area, and there are no inns, and besides, there is no need to live together to help, Shen Wansha will be a guest when he is in trouble The proof is fine.

As for why he refused so simply, there's no other way, I can't help but want to bully when I see a local tyrant...

Zhang Meng opened his eyes wide and looked at his elder brother Li, and then at Shen Wansha who was dressed in a luxurious suit. He smiled and held the things in his hands, without interjecting, he thought elder brother Li was so handsome!

When several people looked at each other silently, there was a sneer from the side, "If you can't afford it, don't get in the way, poor ghost."
