The Mystery of the Ancient Scrolls

Here Xia Dongli and the others are chatting with the old man, and Xiao Kaiyu over there already has a preliminary autopsy report.

"The time of death was about ten o'clock last night. The cause of death was suffocation. From the down fibers found in the mouth of the deceased, it is inferred that the deceased was killed by covering his face with a pillow on the bed." Xiao Kaiyu said as he spoke. He took off the gloves on his hand: "In addition, there is a small amount of blood in the crevices of his fingers and nails, but there is no obvious trauma on his body. I guess it is left by the resistance when he was attacked. I will come out as soon as possible after returning. A valid report."

"That means that as long as we know who the blood belongs to, we can also know the murderer." Zuo Younuo summed up, holding his chin.

"Usually that's the case." Xiao Kaiyu nodded.

"What about the second one?" Zuo Younuo immediately answered.

"When there is more than one suspect." Xiao Kaiyu replied, throwing the used gloves into the trash can.

"Hmm..." Zuo Younuo nodded: "It makes sense!"

Shen Youran came from Zhou Yiyuan and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xia Dongli standing quietly beside the corpse covered by the sheet, lost in thought.

"What is Dongli thinking?" Shen Youran stepped forward and asked.

After hearing the voice, Xia Dongli turned around and saw that it was Shen You, and replied, "I was thinking, since the murderer has already smothered the other party to death, why bother to hang his body up?"

"Do you know what the general villages do when someone hangs themselves at home?" Shen Youran didn't answer Xia Dongli's question but asked another one.

"What does this have to do with this case?" Xia Dongli didn't understand what Shen Youran meant?

Shen Youran stretched out her hand and pulled him to one side away from the corpse: "Now the country is developing very fast, and the conditions in the countryside have almost caught up with those in the city. But in the past or in places where the legal awareness is relatively weak, if any family If you find out that someone in your family has hanged yourself, you will directly talk about the aftermath, and you will not think of other special circumstances at all."

"You mean that even if they were killed, they would mistake it for suicide and not call the police or even hold the murderer accountable?" After Shen Youran said Xia Dongli immediately thought of the problem: "So this time It's the same thing, and that's what the murderer took advantage of."

"That's right." Shen Youran nodded: "I think if we hadn't come here this time, maybe the murderer would have escaped successfully. After all, how could ordinary people know the different causes of death of strangulation like we do? .”

"This is simply too hateful." When Zhou Yiyuan came over, he heard the conversation between Xia Dongli and Shen Youran: "After we catch him, I'll see how I can fix him." Thinking of the fact that the murderer would take advantage of simple ordinary people, Zhou Yiyuan led him into the army. The strong sense of justice that came out surged up again.

Seeing Zhou Yiyuan's righteous indignation, Xia Dongli patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, Yiyuan, tell us the news you asked!"

After hearing Xia Dongli's words, Zhou Yiyuan calmed down and was about to start talking when Zuo Younuo took a step ahead of him and said, "I think we should leave here first and then sit down and talk about it!"

Zuo Younuo's words made the few people present realize that they really need to find a place, after all, it really feels a bit strange to discuss with a dead body.
