Yuan Xianling and Wang Zhutou are also veterans of solving cases, so they can see the significance of Zhao Zhukuai's actions at a glance, and seeing that he has no other expression, it means that Aunt Zhao should be fine.

Zhao Zhu quickly straightened up, took a cold sugar cake from the neighbor's hand, and took a hard bite.

Go around to the wall and look carefully at the façade of the gate.

Since the door is not large and the wall is thick, when it is pulled outward, half of the door is blocked by the wall.

Zhao Yu quickly pressed the edge of the door with his hand and slowly closed the door on the left, and sure enough, there was an obvious pull mark on the knocker of this door.

No one has been coming to this house for a long time, so the knocker, and even the whole door, are full of dust, so this handprint on the knocker is not the murderer but the dead.

Zhao Zhu quickly spoke: "Measure this handprint and see how wide it is." ”

Wang Zhutou immediately arranged for someone to measure it.

Zhao Zhu took advantage of this opportunity and went to the door on the right again, this door has more information, because the person who pulled the door, after pulling the door on the left, naturally noticed the dust on his hands, so when he pulled the door on the right, he did not pull the door knocker again, but reached directly to the back with his hand to buckle it and pulled the door open.

Everyone will subconsciously think that the invisible back of the door must be cleaner than the front, but in fact, it is the opposite, because the front faces the road, and there is more breeze back and forth, so the dust is blown less.

However, the back side is concave and cannot withstand the wind, so there is more dust than the outside.

Although it only imprints the tip of the palm, two knuckles of the four fingers, and a short little finger, it is much better than the narrow mark on the left knocker.

In this way, it is estimated that the mold of this person's palm will soon be made, and then a few doctors will be invited to see if the size of his palm can be deduced from the deceased's hand bones.

Once you can deduce it, then you will know whether the murderer entered this courtyard or the deceased entered this courtyard.

The clues outside the door are almost there, and although the footprints in the door are more helpful to solve the case, they have now been trampled by everyone, and they can't find out who is who.

However, even if it can be found, it is no different from the palm of the hand, and it all depends on whether the hands and feet of the deceased can be restored to their original state.

Zhao Zhukuai is really powerful, but Wang Zhutou is not a person who relies on others, as early as when he came, he had already ordered some things, and at this time he came back with a catcher: "Several adults, our county has not lost the population, this person is not from our county." ”

Yuan Xian Ling nodded, he was not his own person, so his mind was naturally a little more relaxed.

At this time, Zhao Zhuai had already walked to the depression of the cellar.

It's not that he doesn't want to see the corpse, it's that he really doesn't have the courage, maybe his master can't see this.

The cellar is completely sunken, and the top soil is still hard like a normal yard.

Yuan Xianling leaned over to him and asked, "What do you see?"

Zhao Zhukuai frowned and said, "Why did the cellar collapse, or what kind of activities would cause the cellar to collapse." ”

This Yuan County Commander really didn't think about it, his mind is now focused on the identity of the corpse.

Zhao Kuai continued: "Our winter environment is cold all year round, and the ground is naturally extremely hard, so it is not easy for the cellar to collapse.

Secondly, no one digs a cellar by digging only one foot, so the ground here only collapsed by one foot and got stuck, which shows that the bottom cellar was dug very deep.

Because if the cellar is not deep, then it should have collapsed entirely, resulting in uneven ground, not a whole sinking.

Our winter environment is already cold, and digging the cellar is just to save space, so it is only a storehouse to store things, is it necessary to dig such a thing? The people who dig the cellar must have ulterior motives. ”

Originally, Yuan Xianling didn't care about the cellar at all, but after listening to Zhao Zhu's quick analysis, he immediately realized that there was a problem, so he asked, "Then how do you think this cellar collapsed?"

Zhao Zhukuai said: "The first possibility is that a very heavy thing has been placed on the ground, and the cellar has collapsed, which requires a very, very heavy weight, not to mention how to transport such a heavy object to this small courtyard, just because there is no indentation on the ground, you can veto this item." ”

It stands to reason that Zhao Zhukuai, an excluded option, doesn't need to say it, but what he thought of didn't mean that Yuan Xianling could also think of it, in fact, what Yuan Xianling thought about was that the cellar was collapsed, the only difference was that he didn't expect this to be an impossible option.

After that, Zhao Yu quickly said the second possibility: "If it doesn't work above, then the cellar may be collapsed from below."

It is possible that someone dug the cellar directly by digging the wrong shovel below. It's just that this is unlikely, we are in winter, the soil has been frozen for many years, and any piece of digging out must be a clod of soil, and there is no fine and soft place at all.

Then I can think of only one possibility. ”

Yuan Xianling couldn't wait to ask, "What?"

Zhao Zhuai looked at him and said solemnly: "Have you ever heard of a weapon used by people in the rivers and lakes, the "thunderbolt bomb"?"

Yuan Xian Ling nodded and said: "I have heard a little, according to legend, Zheng Guo specially equipped a firearms battalion, and the weapons used are similar to thunderbolts, once they hit the enemy, they will instantly explode and emit fire and black smoke, and the lethality is huge." ”

Zhao Zhu said quickly: "I suspect that someone used a large number of thunderbolts under the cellar at once, which caused the entire soil layer above the cellar to sink. ”

Hearing Zhao Zhukuai's analysis, Yuan Xianling's heart was also shocked, this matter is too big, this time it is a cellar, what if next time it is his own county office? What about the palace next time? Not to mention blowing up in the ears of the lord of the country, it is blowing up outside the city wall, such a powerful thunderbolt is estimated to be able to blow out a big hole in the wall of the palace.

Yuan Xianling was already a little flustered at this time, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a Zhao Zhukuai by his side, I am afraid that he would have been paralyzed to the ground by now, and he would go home to hide from the matter.

Yuan Xianling looked at Zhao Zhukuai's unwavering expression, his heart calmed down for a moment, and asked, "In your opinion, what should I do next?"

Zhao Zhukuai said: "After the autopsy is completed, let's dig up this cellar and see what is underneath." ”

It really means that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as he was mentioned here, an old man with white eyebrows in his hundred years old entered the gate, followed by an apprentice carrying a box.

The old man used to be in charge of inquests in the palace, and he was definitely an expert in this area, and many of his apprentices were his apprentices.

To say that the old man is really worthy of being an old man, when he saw this scene, not only did he not vomit, but he also gnawed on the meat bun with relish, if it was someone else, it is estimated that he would have to vomit it just by smelling the aroma of meat.

After eating the buns, the old man wiped the grease on his hands, stepped forward, and carefully examined the skeleton on the ground.

After frowning and looking at it for a long time, he flicked the internal organs wrapped in the skeleton with his hand, and finally came to the pile of minced meat to examine it carefully.

After a while, the old man stood up, wiped his hands with the wet rag prepared by his apprentice, and said to Yuan Xianling: "Things are a little tricky. ”

What Yuan Xianling was most afraid of and wanted to hear was this sentence, and hurriedly asked, "What did the old man see?"

The old man put his hands in his warm sleeves and said slowly, "I'm afraid this thing was not done by people. ”

Yuan Xianling didn't understand for a while, and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man said: "There is no sign of poisoning in this corpse, and it is not clear whether he was beaten before his death, but judging from the trachea, bones, and organs of his throat, he should not have been fatally injured."

And the flesh on the deceased's body was bitten off one by one, and if you look closely at the bones, you can still see the remaining shreds of meat.

The only thing that could not be found was the corpse's hair, and the blood all over his body. ”

Yuan Xianling asked, "Then is this person a man or a woman?"

The old man said, "If those two balls are his, then he must be a man." ”

At this time, Zhao Zhukuai interjected and asked, "How do you think that this is not done by people?

The old man said: "This, I don't think anyone will be mad to such an extent, besides, if you want to drain the blood of a person's whole body, it will take a long time, this is the winter realm, the blood of a dead person, or a cup of tea will be frozen."

It is more difficult to separate from the meat after freezing, and even if it can be separated, unless it is washed with water a few times, there will still be more or less blood streaks on it, and it will be like this, as if the blood has disappeared out of thin air. ”

Zhao Zhukuai shook his head, bent down and picked up a piece of meat from the ground, and observed it repeatedly, just when the others didn't know what he was going to do, he actually stuffed the meat into his mouth.

Although he vomited immediately, Zhao Zhukuai was naturally nauseated and vomited, and the sugar cakes he had just eaten were vomited before they were digested.

Several other people were also dumbfounded, and at the same time their stomachs twitched, no, this operation is too disgusting, why just look at it as if you have swallowed a piece of meat.

The catcher next to him hurriedly handed over a few bowls of hot water to several adults to rinse their mouths and suppress the nausea in their chests.

After a long time, a few people were relieved and could speak normally, but Zhao Chukuai secretly decided in his heart that he would definitely not kiss his wife and children in the next month, and he couldn't even eat with them.

After relieving himself, Yuan Xianling looked at Zhao Zhukuai with an awe-inspiring look and asked, "Do you use it like this?" ”

Zhao Zhukuai's expression twitched, and he secretly shouted in his heart, why didn't you remind me earlier that there was this kind of operation, but now that I swallowed it, I couldn't get it back by saying anything, so I simply replied directly: "It's very comfortable to bite in your mouth." ”

Everyone else stared at him with wide eyes, and what they said in their eyes was clear: "I didn't expect you to be such a perverted Zhao Zhukuai."

Zhao Zhuai also knew that he had caused a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "What I said about comfort is very appropriate, and it fits perfectly. ”

Yuan Xianling coughed and said, "So the murderer is really a person?"

The old man still insisted on his opinion and said: "Even an old doctor who has been practicing medicine for a hundred years cannot so accurately avoid all the muscles and bones on a person's body, and the organs do not leave a single tooth mark.

In my opinion, the killer may be some kind of humanoid animal, such as a monkey. The legend of the black monkey has been circulating in the winter realm for more than a day or two, and it is rumored that it likes to suck human blood, and it is not clear that it is real. ”

Yuan Xianling shook his head: "No living person has ever seen a black monkey, and according to legend, the footprints left at the scene are also likely to be left by ordinary monkeys when they passed by, and we don't have monkey footprints here." ”

The old man sighed: "If there is really a living person who has ever seen a black monkey, then it is more than a legend. ”

Wang Zhutou said: "Now as long as you wait for a few famous doctors to come, once you can restore the handprint of the corpse and compare it with the door, you may directly eliminate some speculation." ”

The corpse has been preliminarily examined, and the corpse can be packed and brought back to the yamen, but the minced meat on the ground is not easy to pick up, so everyone can only pick up firewood and take their time.
