[Seventy-five] Kaifeng House Famous Detective Code

-

Severe burns, respiratory burns, coming out of the fire, and possibly carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before the doctor arrived, the child had stopped breathing.On the child's wrist is tied an unburnt red string, on which hangs a delicate Yinzhou bell with the pattern of a small jasmine flower.

It's a little girl.

The corpses of the mother and daughter lay quietly together, and the submerged fire soldiers were still busy putting out the fire. Someone saw the corpse and called out: "He is dead, go and call the people from Kaifeng Mansion!"

Yu Yikui said: "I am the assistant of Kaifeng Mansion."

The submerged army looked at Yu Yikui in surprise.

Yu Yikui looked at him calmly.

The submerged soldier bowed to her: "Then I'll be there for you, Miss."

Yu Yikui nodded.

The submerged fire army extinguished the fire, and she squatted on the ground to check the corpse.

The burns on the woman's body were also serious, but her facial features were still vaguely discernible.She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the night sky on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This is a very good and auspicious festival.But now, it has nothing to do with their mother and daughter.

It is actually very unusual for the mother and daughter to have such severe burns.

The mansion burned very quickly, but the fire that sprang up was quickly discovered by the nearby submerged fire army, and the submerged fire army also came very quickly, Zhan Zhao resolutely rushed into the fire scene to save people.

Even if the mother and daughter were sleeping soundly, it was absolutely impossible not to notice the fire. It was always possible to run and jump to avoid the flames. How could they be burned like this?

Unless it's... limited movement.

Or was this woman dead long ago, and her body was actually cremated after death?

She frowned, examining the corpse.

The woman's hands are clenched in fists. In forensic textbooks, fist fighting is a typical feature of being burned to death during her lifetime.

However, this is not necessarily the case. If the fire is fierce, it will cause the soft tissue of the corpse to shrink rapidly, which will also form a fist-like shape.

To see if it was burnt to death, the trachea should be cut open to observe.But he is not in Kaifeng mansion at the moment, so he can only observe first.

There was no obvious trauma to the body.

Yu Yikui stretched out her hand expressionlessly, and went up to touch the woman's skull—the bone fricative sound was obvious.

Bone fricative sound, as the name suggests, is the sound made when bones rub against each other. There is only one reason for this sound, and that is a fracture.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao hurried back, followed by the doctor, Yu Yikui didn't turn his head back, and said directly: "There is no need for medical treatment, the person is already dead."

The doctor sighed, turned and left.

But Zhan Zhao stood there for a long time, Yu Yikui stood up and turned to look at him.

He lowered his eyes, staring at the little girl's burned body, the emotion in his eyes spread, he let out a long breath, and then looked up at Yu Yikui.

He forced a smile, and was about to comfort her, but she suddenly took out a handkerchief from her bosom, stretched it out, paused again, stuffed it into Zhan Zhao's hand, and said, "Your face is covered with dust, Like a tabby cat."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said "thank you" to her.

Her veil was naturally clean, but just after Zhan Zhao came out of the fire, the cat's paw was stained with dust, as soon as he took the veil, a cat's paw print appeared on the plain veil, he hesitated for a moment , and then wiped her face carefully with the veil, and a handsome and gentle face appeared in front of her again.

He said: "Miss Yu laughed...can I wipe it clean now?"

He lowered his head and obediently asked Yu Yikui to look left and right.

Yu Yikui looked at it, and said, "It's clean, but it's no joke to get your face dirty when you go into a fire to save people."

"I'm laughing..." This was of course just a polite remark.Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile, and only replied seriously, "Okay."

Yu Yikui opened her mouth, and switched to business mode naturally: "These two died strangely, it was not an accident, it was a fire caused by man."

Zhan Zhao didn't speak.

Yu Yikui: "This woman has fractures on her head, which may have been caused by a blunt instrument. The little girl has no other injuries, except that she was burned badly. It's a little strange. I don't know if she was restrained."

Zhan Zhao said: "Just now when I entered the fire, this little girl...was tied to a chair. The chair was almost burnt to the ground. The scream we heard from outside...is her..."

His tone dropped, as if he couldn't bear to say any more.

He sighed: "Women and young girls, what kind of enemies can they provoke? Who would want to kill people in such a way."

Yu Yikui didn't make any noise: "Well, let's check the owner of this house first."

Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Yikui in surprise.

Yu Yikui said meaningfully: "The matter of the dead wife is different from the husband, most of them are the same."

Bao Zheng came to Kaifeng Mansion for only three or four years, and Zhan Zhao's time in office was even shorter, and the cases he investigated were mainly armed fights with unstable factors such as Jianghu warriors. See through is normal.

And Yu Yikui, who has seen a lot of people, will naturally know that if the wife dies or disappears, it is 80.00% likely that the husband killed her.

In modern times, there are mostly only two reasons for a husband to kill his wife.

The first is to suspect that the wife has brought a green hat to himself or that the wife is going to divorce;

The second is for money. Do you know about sky-high personal accident insurance?

However, the husband who kills for the first reason is mostly reckless and passionate, and dares to stab to death on the street with two knives.There is basically no need to investigate, because it is too obvious, too rampant, and too stupid.

Husbands who kill for the second reason are much more insidious and cunning. Some of them pushed their wives into the swimming pool to drown, some hired murderers, some faked a car accident, and some secretly changed their wives' life-saving medicine.

It is really secretive and terrifying that the person next to the pillow wants to kill someone.

But these two reasons seem to be unreasonable here.

The first reason--in ancient times, it was not a moral issue for a woman to have sex with her. There was no need for the husband to burn down the house together, and no one would sue the government if there was a lynching in the family and if the wife was killed directly.Moreover, it is not reasonable to kill the daughter together because the wife cheated.

The second reason - there is no personal accident insurance these days, what money can a wife get if she dies?

Is it for a dowry?But the dowry, although it is the wife's private property, can be used everywhere as long as the husband is strong, so it won't burn the wife and children to death, right?

She doesn't know much about the specific situation of this family, so she can only put aside her doubts for the time being.

The fire was quickly extinguished, and the whole house was burnt down, pressing the house firmly under the charred wood. After the submersibles put out the fire, their work was done.

When Zhan Zhao was just looking for a doctor, he ran into Zhang Long on the way, and told him to find a dozen or so yamen servants to come to the fire site. Surrounded by a crowd, two more yamen servants, one big and one small, came pushing carts and transported the two corpses back to the mansion.

The burnt-down house still needs to be further searched after dawn the next day. Several yamen guards guard the scene, and non-related people are not allowed to enter.

The house of this family was on fire, and the neighbors on the left and right would naturally come out to have a look. The neighbors on the left and right joined the ranks of fighting the fire just now because they were afraid that the house on fire would affect their own house. People, just watching the excitement, and no one came to help, it was obvious that they were cold.

Several yamen servants went to ask the neighbors about the family, Yu Yikui and Zhan Zhao went back first.

Zhan Zhao had a lot of dust on his body, he was in a mess, he should take a bath.As for Yu Yikui, she wanted to do an autopsy immediately, but the conditions were too restrictive——

Even if a dozen candles are lit, the room should be bright, but the candles are flickering, and it is difficult to see the details clearly, so I have to get up early tomorrow morning to talk about it.

The Lantern Festival is not a day to work overtime, but something happened suddenly, and the two souls waited for the truth to be revealed, so they had to work overtime.

The yamen servants probably think so, but the overtime madman Yu Yikui doesn't care—

Anyway, if she doesn't work overtime, she has nothing else to do. She is such a person who lives in such a poor life.

She went back to bed and went to Kaifeng Mansion early the next morning to find out the cause of the adult woman's death.

It was indeed a blunt force injury.The shape of the blunt instrument should be a big rock, and it is a very heavy rock.

If you beat someone to death with a big stone, there must be blood on the stone. Last night at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, the streets were crowded with people and it was very lively. If someone took such a big stone out of the house, someone would definitely see it. The submerged fire army with a hundred steps and one post is all over Bianjing, so densely distributed, there is absolutely no reason why it cannot be invisible.

So the big stone should still be in the house?

She thought back quickly, and first of all, she made sure—there was no such thing in the small yard in front of the house.

Was that in a collapsed house?

She pondered, waiting to take a closer look when she went to the scene later.

Coincidentally, I ran into Zhan Zhao who came out of the martial field.

He is a man of God who wakes up very early in the first month, Yu Yikui is so early today by accident, but Zhan Zhao is so early every day.

Because he had just finished exercising, he was not wearing heavy clothes, a thin layer of sweat broke out from his body, he was wiping his neck with a towel in his hand, when he saw Yu Yikui approaching him, he even took a step back to avoid Opened Yu Yikui.

Yu Yikui stood still, tilted her head and expressed "what are you doing" with her eyes.

Zhan Zhao accepted it without any hindrance, and explained: "Zhan is sweating and dirty, Miss Yu laughed."

Yu Yikui: "Ah, it's okay, I'm going to take a look at the fire scene yesterday, are you going?"

Zhan Zhao also had this plan, so he said, "Yes, Miss Yu, please wait a moment, Zhan goes to change into clean clothes."

Yu Yikui nodded and went to the door to wait.

Just as he was waiting, he suddenly saw a bearded man rushing towards the Kaifeng mansion. The yamen guard at the door stopped him quickly and shouted, "Who is it!"

Zhan Zhao just changed into his official uniform and came out from the door.

Seeing Zhan Zhao, the man burst into tears, fell to the ground, and kept calling his wife and daughter's names.

From his intermittent cries, everyone knew that this was the man whose wife and daughter were burned to death last night.

Yu Yikui folded her hands on her chest, thinking coolly: Well, this crying reaction is a bit blunt, it's not pretending.
