Be a master through ancient times

"This Song San insisted that he saw the thief clearly before, and then said that the person painted by Jia Jia is exactly the same as the thief. He must have remembered the appearance of the thief in his heart, right? But, what I drew is not the same as that The paintings of people are not the same, for those who are not familiar with it, maybe they will feel the same, but this Song San witnessed the murder of the thief with his own eyes, he should not forget it."

Chu Ci said that when Song San put his sleeves down from his face, he felt a little strange.Logically speaking, if he was crying day and night, then this person's eyes should be extremely red and swollen, but Song San didn't even have a tear in the corner of his eyes, it was obvious that he was howling before.That's why Chu Ci deliberately tested him.

"You mean, Song San is lying?" Xu Zheng's face was full of doubts, "But why did he lie? He came to report the case as soon as it happened. If he really concealed something, there is no need Go to the Yamen to report the case."

"He reported the case?" Chu Ci was thoughtful.

"Yes, it's him. Song San came to the Yamen to report the crime as soon as the thief left. When we went, the blood of the Zhong family was still warm." Xu Zheng sighed again. He was on duty that day. After receiving the report, he brought someone to the door, and then saw the miserable state.

"Sir, can I have a look at the case file?" Chu Ci still found him suspicious.

Xu Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "This thing should not have been circulated. After you read it, don't make a sound."

"Yes, sir." Chu Ci agreed, and then went to the warehouse of the case with Xu Zheng to find all the confessions and physical evidence of the case.

This case happened five days ago, that is, around nine o'clock in the evening of October [-]th.According to the informant, the family members of the main family had already rested at that time, and he went to the toilet because of his stomach discomfort. As a result, the thief sneaked into the house and began to kill Zhong's family members.The murder weapon was a machete. The man didn't take it away at the time, and left the murder weapon after the murder.

Chu Ci looked through the records at the scene again, and it said that the cause of death of Zhong's family members was indeed a knife wound, and there were no other wounds on their bodies other than the knife wound.The dead were distributed in three places: the bedroom and the front and back yards.

"Sir, have you found out the murderer's motive for killing? Is it seeking revenge, seeking money, or something else?" If it weren't for blood and blood, it would be impossible to justify the evil deeds that destroyed people.

"Why didn't we check? Our people have been asking around for the past few days and found that the Zhong family is an ordinary businessman. They have never done anything to deceive or cheat. His temperament is quite peaceful, so he should not form any enmity with others. Moreover, although Mr. Zhong is not considered a great benevolent person, he will generously donate money whenever donations are raised, and I don’t know what kind of person he is to attack them.” Xu Zheng Another sigh.

"In that case, their purpose should be to ask for money? Is the Zhong family rich?" The motive for killing must exist, so it doesn't mean that they are just idle and bored to come in and destroy the whole family, right?

"Because the Zhong family is all dead, and Song San is just a helper in the kitchen, so he doesn't know if there are any things in the Zhong family, but judging from the scene, he probably fled before he could take the things away."

Chu Ci rummaged through the case file and found Song San's confession.It said that he was squatting in the latrine with a stomachache, and then he heard someone screaming in the front yard, so he immediately pulled up his pants to see what happened. Unexpectedly, before he went out, he saw a fierce man chasing people with a machete. Then he slashed at the man's head with a knife, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he was so shocked that he couldn't go out to rescue him, and he was in great pain because of this.Then he heard no movement around him, so he quietly escaped through the small door in the backyard to report the crime. The murderer probably noticed something, and had already run away when the yamen servants arrived.

In other words, the murderer killed fifteen members of Zhong's family, but left without taking anything?Chu Ci raised his own question, but Xu Zheng couldn't explain it, which is exactly what they were confused about.

"Sir, it's getting late today. Let's go back. I'll accompany you to the scene of the crime tomorrow to see if there are any other clues that haven't been found. Teacher's wife is also very worried about you." Now it's not clear for a while, Chu Ci So he advised his husband to go back and recharge his batteries.

Xu Zheng nodded. He hadn't been home for two or three days.The master and apprentice returned to Xu's house, and Chu Ci ate something with him before going back to their rooms.

This time it was Xingzi who took care of Chu Ci. She fetched water for Chu Ci, but found that the person who was about to rest was sitting at the desk again, writing something.

"Master Chu, I brought water." Xingzi called.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xingzi, put it there, I'll wash it later." Chu Ci responded while writing.

Xingzi wanted to know what Chu Ci was writing, but she was afraid that she would disturb Chu Ci's serious business, and she couldn't read, so she could only quietly exit Chu Ci's room and close the door gently.

Chu Ci wrote for a long time before putting down the pen. He got up and went to wash up, but was stunned the moment he touched the water. The water was not as cold as Chu Ci imagined, but warm.He smiled, she is really a good girl with a kind heart, she must have just come here to change the water a few times.

After washing, Chu Ci lay on the bed, closing his eyes and slowly sorting out the case. He had written down all the suspicious points just now, but he always felt that there was something he had overlooked, but he just couldn't grasp it.It would be great if Kou Jingjing was here at this time, he is as careful as a hair, and he will definitely discover more things.

……

"This is the Zhong family. Their family moved here more than ten years ago, and there are no other relatives in this Yangxin mansion. These are the places where they were found..."

Following Xu Zheng's explanation, Chu Ci carefully observed that the places where the corpses were buried were covered with black and red blood, almost covering the entire ground of the courtyard, one can imagine the tragic situation at that time.

"...The corpses of the Zhong family are parked in the hall. Since you are here, follow me to burn incense sticks."

Xu Zheng walked into the hall first, smoked some incense and lit it in front of the set up mourning hall, and bowed with a solemn face.Chu Ci was a little uncomfortable, but he also followed the pace of his husband, took some incense sticks and bowed, and silently said a few words "it's not strange".

It's not that he's timid, there are fifteen people lying in this hall, even if there are government servants guarding them, it's still very creepy to watch!

Xu Zheng asked casually, "Do you want to take a look at their wounds?"

Chu Ci wanted to shake his head, but he really wanted to help Mr. solve the case.Although there is an autopsy manual written by Wu in the case file, it is no clearer than what he saw with his own eyes, so Chu Ci nodded.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Zheng chuckled inwardly, and then ordered the servants to remove the white cloth covering it.Chu Ci endured the discomfort and looked at it for a few times, and then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he stared at a certain place and seemed to be thinking about something.

Xu Zheng followed his gaze, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The eldest son of the Zhong family was born with six toes on his left foot, which is indeed different from others. But don't keep staring, it's disrespectful to the deceased. We Let’s go outside and have a look.”

Just as Chu Ci wanted to explain that he was not staring at the six toes, but elsewhere, he saw that Xu Zheng had already walked out, and he quickly followed, interrupting the explanation that was about to be spoken.

Walking through the front yard was the room where Zhong's family lived. Chu Ci walked into one at random, and found that there were also spots of blood in this room, on the quilt, and on the hanging curtains.The bed looked very messy, and it should have been messed up when the deceased was struggling, but the room as a whole was clean and tidy, and there was no sign of turning over.

"Sir, whose house is this?"

"This room belongs to Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong. At that time, their bodies were one inside and the other outside. Presumably Mr. Zhong blocked the murderer and wanted Mrs. Zhong to escape. It's a pity." Xu Zheng sighed regretfully.

Chu Ci frowned and looked at it, always feeling that there was a place that looked very inconsistent.He walked to the bed, looked up and down for a while, and suddenly asked: "Sir, have your people moved these places after reporting the case?"

Xu Zheng shook his head: "As soon as that person came to report the crime, I sent someone to guard the place and ordered them not to move anywhere. They only carried the corpse into the hall. The corpse was left untouched except for being tampered with."

"Then, what's the matter with this bed curtain?" Chu Ci pointed to the well-hanging curtains on both sides.

"Bed net?" Xu Zheng followed his hand and looked over, then his eyes widened suddenly, "You mean?"

"Yes, we just went to the hall to see these people died wearing middle clothes and no shoes or socks on their feet, so they should all be killed after falling asleep. However, the bed curtains were closed " Chu Ci stroked the bed curtain and continued, "There are two possibilities. One is that they were not asleep at the time. The other is that someone behind them put away the bed curtain that was put down again."

"The first one is impossible. If they were not asleep at the time, they would shout loudly when the thief came. If they all woke up and ran around, how could they be wiped out? Although Zhong's house is farther away from other houses It’s fine if the neighbors can’t hear you, but it’s impossible for everyone in your family not to hear you!” Xu Zheng was reminded by Chu Ci, and things that he thought were weird but didn’t understand slowly gathered in his mind.

"That's the second type. The murderer put away the bed curtain before the murder, so only a few places of the bed curtain were stained with blood, but not in other places." Chu Ci released the hook, and the bed curtain fell to cover half of the bed It was so tight that there were only a few spots on it, and no other spots at all.

"It stands to reason that the murderer should lift the bed curtain and swing the knife directly. Why would he have the leisure to slowly put the bed curtain away? Isn't he afraid that the master will wake up suddenly when the bed curtain is closed? Unless..." Xu Zheng's expression was very serious.

"Unless he was sure at the time, Master Zhong and Mrs. Zhong would not wake up! When I read the file, I felt strange that only one murderer could kill fifteen people in a row, and he committed the crime quietly. I think the Zhong family There must be an inside thief. He first drugged the others, and then killed them while they were unconscious."

"However, some people were clearly killed outside. If they were also drugged, how could they escape?" Xu Zheng didn't quite understand. He had heard Song San's confession before, and he only felt that the perpetrator was a martial artist. Gao Qiang's recklessness, he guessed that he might have broken into Zhong's house and tried to rob the family because he was at the end of his life, but he was discovered unexpectedly, so he went on and on and killed all of Zhong's family members.But after thinking about it, I feel that there are loopholes everywhere.

"No, if they could run out, why didn't they yell loudly to warn them? It seems that the old man was misled by that Song San!" Xu Zheng was very annoyed, why didn't he think of this before?

"However, why did these people run outside? Could it be that the medicine was not strong enough, they stumbled and ran out after hearing the noise, and were hacked to death after encountering the murderer?"

"What if I said that they didn't run out, but were carried out?" Chu Ci said, this is why he suspected that more than one person committed the crime. Mrs. Zhong, who seemed to weigh more than 200 kilograms, and others carried it around the yard.

According to the autopsy manual written by Wu, Chu Ci judged that this person should be a man with little strength.Because the knife wounds on the corpses were not deep, and there were only shallow marks on the bones, and each person had more than one knife wound, it was obvious that the murderer was afraid that he would not die with a single knife, so he added a few more knife wounds.

"Why are you so sure they were carried out?" Xu Zheng was a little curious.

"Sir, we saw those dead in the hall just now. I don't know if you noticed, but their feet are very clean, and they don't look like people who have stepped on the mud at all." Chu Ci said, he was in the hall just now Among them is the discovery of this.He felt that the case was full of doubts last night, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't insist that what he judged was true.Now that there is evidence, he can be sure that Song San must be lying.

He felt that this Song San should be the inner thief. He gave the Zhong family medicine to make them sleepy and went to bed early, then opened the door to attract the thief to kill them, and finally called the thief to stop the thief, using people's stereotypes to guide them. idea.After all, everyone never doubted that a person who took the initiative to report the crime would be the murderer. In addition, he was the only witness of the case, so they naturally believed in his confession.

In this way, if the murderer is not found for a long time, the case will become an unsolved case, and Song San and the others will be able to escape.

Xu Zheng obviously thought of this too, without the blinding leaf, he would naturally not misjudge again.
