followed Xue Guozheng into the rental house, and the first thing that caught his eye was the old man's body.

Lying on the ground, there was a large pool of blood pressed under him, which had dried up, and the bright red blood stains had solidified into a blackened color. His gray hair and beard were also dyed red, his eyes were wide open, and his death was very hideous.

For most people, they should be afraid to see a dead person, let alone die so miserably. But Chen Mengran didn't feel scared at all. He knew that the soul of the deceased was in his meteorite space, and that it was just a lifeless corpse in front of him, and it would not suddenly erupt.

Last night, after awakening the old man's soul, Chen Mengran learned a thing from his mouth.

Chen Mengran was deeply sympathetic to the old man's experience, and he decided to help the old man and bring the murderer to justice regardless of the remuneration.

Seeing a stranger come in, several forensic doctors who were taking samples at the scene were surprised, and they didn't understand why such a person could come in, and they weren't afraid that he would destroy the scene.

However, since the captain of the criminal police acquiesced, it was difficult for them to raise objections.

The young policeman was also surprised, unlike others, he knew Chen Mengran. For Chen Mengran, he has already developed a sense of awe, but he is just afraid of his kung fu, calling him at a crime scene like this, I don't know how to help.

"Captain. "The young cop tried to stop.

Xue Guo waved his hand to stop the young policeman from continuing to speak. waved his hand at Chen Mengran again, signaling him to start.

Chen Mengran smiled, took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and scouted around.

Seeing that he had such a professional tool on him, everyone's faces were also correct. If I was skeptical just now, I am somewhat confident now. After all, no one is idle with a magnifying glass.

It's just that they don't know that this magnifying glass was just bought by Chen Mengran in the ten-yuan store, and the label on it hasn't been torn off yet.

Since you want to find clues, you must always get a decent prop, otherwise, who will believe his words indiscriminately.

In fact, Chen Mengran already knew about the murderer, but he couldn't say that if he said the name of the murderer, he would be able to catch the real murderer, but how could he explain it.

So, it's still necessary to do what you should do.

Those forensic doctors also stopped what they were doing and watched Chen Mengran look for clues.

I saw him holding a magnifying glass, looking here and there, from the floor to the corpse, from the photo to the tattered, not letting go of any corner and detail, and even studying a crawling ant for a long time.

Just when everyone wondered what clues an ant could see, they saw that the ant that was still alive just now was motionless, and there was smoke on its body, and it was actually burned to death by the light gathered by the magnifying glass.

"This kid isn't here to make trouble. "A forensic angry tooth itch. I didn't dare to reprimand openly, after all, the captain hadn't said anything yet.

Chen Mengran stood up with satisfaction and scalded the ants with a magnifying glass, which was one of his favorite games to play when he was a child, and now revisiting it allowed him to find his childhood memories.

"See what?" Xue Guozheng interrupted Chen Mengran's recollection, and his tone was a little stiff. Hearing this, he was also tormented by Chen Mengran's boring actions.

Patting off the soil in his hand, Chen Mengran said: "Obviously, this is a burglary murder case. ”

Xue Guozheng's eyes jumped, the blue tendons on his face cracked, and in an instant, he had an urge to go crazy.

As long as you are not blind, you know that this is a burglary and homicide, which is equivalent to not saying it.

Several other people are also the same as Xue Guozheng, especially the young policeman, he is already a violent temper, and he was fooled by Chen Mengran, and he wanted to step forward and beat him. Considering the terrifying strength of the other party, he immediately took a deep breath and suppressed this impulse.

"Are there any other discoveries?" Xue Guozheng continued to ask.

"This is the first scene of the murder. ”

The crowd almost went crazy again, and the blood was all spilled all over the ground, and the blind man knew that this was the first scene.

"What else?"

"The murderer is a person, which can be seen from the footprints at the scene. The murderer is a man, about 1.75 meters tall, which can be inferred from the murderer's footprints. The murderer's weight was about two hundred and thirty pounds, which can also be inferred from his footprints. ”

"Wait a minute. A short and fat forensic doctor interrupted Chen Mengran's words.

"You deduce from the footprints that the killer is a person, I understand that. After all, there are only two footprints at the murder scene, one is of the deceased, and the other is naturally left by the murderer. But how did you deduce his gender from the footprints?"

"Have you ever seen a woman who is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 230 pounds?" Chen Mengran asked rhetorically.

"Nima, even if you haven't seen it, it's impossible to draw conclusions from this. "Humpty Dumpty Medical Examiner almost went crazy again.

But I heard another tall and thin forensic doctor say: "We extracted suspicious hair at the scene, it was a man's short hair." If it was left by the murderer, then the murderer was indeed a man. In addition, we compared the suspicious footprints at the scene, and preliminarily guessed from the size and depth of the step that the murderer was between 1.75 meters tall and 1.80 meters tall and weighed between 220 and 250 kilograms. ”

The height and weight are similar to what Chen Mengran said, but not as accurate as Chen Mengran said.

Xue Guozheng suddenly came to confidence and said, "Are there any other discoveries?"

"The deceased must have had something happy before he died. ”

"How do you see that?"

This was evident from his expression. ”

expressions, everyone looked at the face of the deceased, and the hideous look on his face was not blind, and he couldn't see happiness no matter how he looked at it.

"Why can't I see he's happy at all?" said the young policeman, speaking out the doubts in everyone's minds.

"That's because you only look at his surface, the deceased was hit hard before he died, and his expression was naturally painful and hideous, but the instant pain did not erase his previous happiness, it was hidden in the depths of the texture, you look at his face carefully, is there some stretch between the textures?"

Everyone looked at it carefully, and the short and fat forensic doctor from before said, "It seems that there is a little bit." ”

"You can really see it, good eyesight. Chen Mengran gave him a thumbs up.

The young policeman and another tall and thin forensic doctor also looked closely, as if they were a little happy. They also nodded one after another.

Only Xue Guozheng did not echo and said, "Is there anything else?"

"There was no trace of a struggle at the scene, indicating that the murderer was attacking from behind, and the murder weapon was this smashed TV. ”

This is obviously nonsense again, but this time, Xue Guozheng listened very seriously and motioned for Chen Mengran to continue.

"After the murderer killed the deceased, he stayed with the deceased for a while, which can be seen from the messy footprints around the deceased. Then, the murderer began to search the house again, ostensibly looking for the money left by the deceased, but if you think about it carefully, what money does an old man who makes a living by picking up rags. Therefore, the murderer did this just to hide people's eyes and ears and give people the illusion of an ordinary burglary and murder, so as to disguise his true purpose. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the eyes of several people in the room finally changed.

Xue Guozheng said: "You mean that this murder was deliberately committed by the murderer?"

"That's right. ”

"And what is his motive?"

"For one thing, one thing that the deceased held in his right hand. ”

After speaking, Chen Mengran walked to the old man's corpse, pointed to the wound on the deceased's right hand and said, "You should find that the thumb and index finger of the deceased's right hand have traces of strain, which is the murderer's masterpiece." After killing the deceased, the murderer immediately went to take what he was holding in his right hand. It's a pity that the deceased clamped it too tightly and the murderer couldn't pull it out, and he didn't dare to use too much force, so he broke the deceased's two fingers and took out the things. This is why after committing the murder, stay with the deceased for a period of time. ”

Everyone was silent, carefully reflecting on what Chen Mengran said, for a long time, Xue Guozheng asked, "What did the deceased have in his hand before he died?"

Chen Mengran shook his head: "I don't know, but it must be very valuable, otherwise, the murderer would not have risked killing to get it." Moreover, the thing itself is very fragile, which is why the murderer did not dare to forcibly pull it out of the hands of the deceased. ”

Even if it is valuable and fragile, what could it be? Following Chen Mengran's train of thought, everyone fell into deep thought.

"It was a winning ticket. Chen Mengran was secretly anxious, and he didn't dare to say it clearly. He had already prompted it so clearly, believing that these policemen were not stupid and could guess.

"I thought about it. Humpty Dumpty shouted.

"What is it?" Chen Mengran asked expectantly.

"It must be money, both valuable and inherently fragile. ”

The expectation disappeared in an instant, and then showed disappointment, Chen Mengran said: "Impossible, a few hundred yuan, you can't commit the murderer for deliberately killing someone." ”

"Maybe it's not just a few hundred, maybe the dead have tens of thousands in their hands?"

"Tens of thousands of dollars are very thick, and the murderer can completely use brute force to pull out the hands of the deceased. "Tall and thin forensic doctor.

Chen Mengran glanced at him approvingly, nodded and agreed: "That's right, it can't be money." Besides, how can a person who picks up rags have so much money. ”

"Don't underestimate picking up rags, you must know that in these years, being a beggar can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. A person who picks up rags for a living, if he is frugal, there is no problem in saving tens of thousands of dollars in a few years. The young cop said.

"That's right, but there is one thing you overlooked, I just mentioned that the deceased was very happy before he died, and if the deceased took out his life savings, he would not be so happy, after all, it was his hard-earned money. Therefore, what he has in his hands is valuable, and what he has obtained is beyond his expectations. ”

"The deceased was a pick-up of rags, could it be that he picked up any treasure before he died?" said the forensic doctor Humpty Dumpty.

"What could it be?" asked the young policeman.

"Cultural relics, or calligraphy and paintings?"

"How could a man who picks up junk know something so elegant, I would rather believe that he won the lottery. "Tall and thin forensic doctor.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Chen Mengran took a long breath and guessed for a long time, and finally guessed.

"Lottery, yes, if it's a winning ticket. It's valuable, but it's also fragile, which fits well. Humpty Dumpty said.

However, how did the murderer know that the deceased had won the lottery, after all, this kind of thing is low-key. Those who won the lottery wore masks when they received the prize, for fear that others would recognize them. ”

"Except for one possibility. After muttering for a long time, Xue Guozheng, the captain, finally spoke.

"This lottery ticket was bought by the murderer with the help of the deceased, and the murderer wrote down the numbers, and when the lottery was drawn, the murderer knew that the lottery ticket had won. ”

"That's right, that's the possibility. Chen Mengran snapped his fingers
