At the right turn in front of this painting wall, a male student in a splendid school uniform fell to the ground on his back, his chest was full of blood, a dagger was deeply inserted into his chest, he was already out of breath, his face was distorted by horror, and his eyes were staring at the sky.

A few male students who came first surrounded the side with frightened faces, Lu Rong hid behind Yan Qi and didn't dare to look, but Wu Yue was bold, pushed aside everyone and stepped forward to squat and test the male student's pulse, and finally shook his head: "It's hopeless." ”

"Who did it?!What about the murderer? Go and catch the murderer! Don't let him run away!" A male student was the first to react and hurriedly shouted, and a few people next to him came back to their senses and quickly looked around, but there was no one around for a while, only a few gentlemen and students who ran over from a distance.

"Children, get out of the way first...... Mr. Takatsuren, a doctor with a tall and gentle voice, ran like a giraffe, carrying a medicine box that was one size larger than others, and rushed to him in dust, squatting down to sniff first, and then test his pulse, Maori Kogoro shook his head, "It's a pity......"

Supervisor Liu and a second-mountain chief who had just replaced the resigned Shi Cishan chief (...... Then he arrived, and when he saw this situation, he was shocked at first, and hurriedly asked Mr. Gao: "How?

Mr. Gao shook his head: "I have been powerless, and finally this knife penetrated deep into the heart, killing people on the spot." ”

"This, this, this—how could this happen!" "The head of the Liu Academy is about to blow up, what's going on this year? Whether it's in the academy or outside, several students have died in Jinxiu, and there are several other transfers, and even one of the second mountain chief has left—is this a disaster year for Jinxiu? Or is there some guy who has been reincarnated by the moldy star who has entered Jinxiu this year?

"Report to the police. The newly appointed Tie Cishan sighed, there was a murder case in the academy, of course this is not a good thing for the academy, not to mention the impact on the image, there will be many follow-up troubles to deal with, isn't this the case of the doctor who died not long after the opening of the academy this year? Although the female student who killed the person was a concubine who was not very favored by the official family, in the end, she was also bullied by the gentleman of the academy, and the academy could not escape responsibility, in the end, the mountain chief personally went to the official family to compensate for it, and used some weighty connections, which suppressed the incident, and now there is such a ...... Alas.

"Okay, don't all gather around here, hurry up and go, don't make a mess!" Supervisor Liu began to bombard the onlookers, "Today's art exhibition is over, what are you all doing here? Go home! Before this matter is clarified, no one is allowed to spread rumors everywhere - if the reputation of the academy is discredited, you will not be able to get any benefits!"

Supervisor Liu's meaning is very clear, this matter can be suppressed, of course, it must be pressed, the reputation of the academy is not good, and the reputation of the students studying in this academy will of course be affected, and the words are to let the students remain silent even for their own sake.

Of course, the students also know in their hearts that no matter whether the academy's approach is appropriate or not, they can't carry their arms and thighs, you must know that the splendid mountain chief is the former emperor's teacher, the teacher of the first emperor, and the current emperor has to pay three points, not to mention the students, even the adults who are officials in the family dare not offend easily.

was bombarded by Supervisor Liu like this, and the students couldn't continue to stay at the scene, and they were about to disperse, but they heard a slow voice sounding coldly: "At the time of the crime, everyone near the scene was suspicious, is Mr. going to let the suspect go?"

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a handsome young man in a lake blue school uniform standing not far away looking at this box coldly, with his hands in his sleeves in front of him, his face was like a heavy jade, and the eight winds did not move.

"Yan Jinghong, what do you mean?!" Of course, these words would make people unhappy, and some people immediately drank him.

Young Master Yan Jiu didn't pay attention to this person at all, and just looked at Courtyard Supervisor Liu lightly.

As soon as Inspector Liu heard that the child's surname was Yan, his already painful brain hurt even more now—what a familiar scene! Gago, when the most nervous person in the Yan family was still in school, this kind of situation would often be repeated in front of him! Whenever something important, weird, and amazing happened in the academy where he stepped on the horse, Yan Zike's goods would always appear on the scene inexplicably, and then look at him nervously, with a disgusting look on his face, "Are you sure you want to do this"!

Is Jinxiu contracted by your Yan family?!

You are everywhere!

When Supervisor Liu was calculating how long it would be before he could retire, Tie Cishan spoke: "Let's stay first, lest the government come after a while, and you have to call everyone back." ”

The second mountain chief said this, and everyone had no choice but to listen, standing next to each other and discussing the matter one after another, but Young Master Yan Jiu slowly walked over, took off his coat, and silently covered the head and face of the dead student.

When he retreated to the side, Yan Qi asked him, "You have a good relationship with this person?"

"No," Young Master Yan Jiu said slowly with his eyelids down, "I just don't like to wear hospital uniforms. ”

“……”

The color of this school uniform is indeed a little too bright, not the style that this product likes, but Yan Qi can see that Yan Xiaojiu knows the deceased, and he is not unfamiliar.

When the sky was about to darken, Qiao Lezi hurried over with a group of subordinates, and at first glance, he saw the five, six, or seven gangs standing there innocently, and a big subtitle of "sure enough" appeared in front of him: Are you still innocent?! Where to go, don't be too sure of the dead to be —— mother, this feeling of "only I know the truth in this world" is really terrifying!

Qiao Lezi couldn't help but snort, but when he got closer, he had already entered the state of work: "Zuo, autopsy; Zhang Jia, arrange for people to guard the gate of the academy, not a single one is allowed to leave, and lead people to search the suspicious people and things outside the academy; Wang Yi, lead people to search the scene and its vicinity; Li Bing, start to ask separately and record the confessions of all the people at the scene; Zhao Ding, quickly go to investigate the deceased and all the relevant information, and who is the principal here?"

Tie Cishan Chang hurriedly said: "My surname is Tie, and he is the second mountain chief of the academy. ”

"Oh, the chief of the Iron Ridge asked people to light a lamp near the scene to facilitate the investigation of the case. ”

The chief of Tieji Mountain hurriedly made arrangements, and Su Yu had already lit more than a dozen torches with high lampposts, illuminating the scene as bright as day.

"The government is now asking about the case, and if you ask who you are, please first report your name and relationship with the victim, and then answer your questions. Qiao Lezi didn't go to sit on the chair that Supervisor Liu specially moved for him, but only stood solemnly under the torch, a pair of small black and bright eyes swept sharply over everyone present, "Which of you was the first to find the body?"

The two male students hesitantly stood half a step forward, and one of them said first: "Master Hui, there are two students, the student Mao Yuefeng is a member of the academy painting art club, and the deceased Zhang Min is the president of our painting art club." ”

Another student said: "Student Li Ran is also a member of the Painting Art Club. ”

Qiao Lezi said: "You two tell me about the situation at the time of the incident." ”

Mao Yuefeng recalled slightly, and said: "When the incident happened, the students and Li Ran were packing up their things, because today's art exhibition had ended, so they packed up their things and prepared to go home. ”

Qiao Lezi asked carefully: "Where were you two at that time?"

Li Ran turned around and pointed to the back: "We are cleaning up a few cases with picture scrolls over there, because we are afraid of heavy dew at night, all the picture scrolls must be rolled up and put into the picture tube, and Ming'er will take them out again and put them on the table." ”

Qiao Lezi: "How far does it take to run from that side to here?"

Mao Yuefeng thought for a while: "It's about a hundred and ten steps." ”

Qiao Lezi motioned for the officials around him to go to the confirmation, and continued to ask the two: "Did you see the murderer or anyone else when you two arrived at the scene?"

Mao Yuefeng and Li Ran looked at each other, looking for memory fragments in each other's eyes, and shook their heads together for a while, Mao Yuefeng said: "The students didn't see anyone, and when they rushed over, they only saw President Zhang fall to the ground, and there was no one around. ”

"Oh?" Qiao Lezi raised an eyebrow, "Are you probably sure?"

Mao Yuefeng nodded very affirmatively: "The student is sure, when he saw President Zhang lying on the ground covered in blood, he subconsciously thought who did it, and immediately looked around, there was indeed no one, otherwise the student would have screamed at that time." ”

Li Ran also said: "Besides, there are large lawns and clearings nearby, no matter where the murderer runs, it is impossible to run out of our sight in just one hundred and ten steps, unless he crosses the wall." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Lezi looked up at the wall painted with the long scroll of the landscape attic, but it was just an ordinary garden powder wall, only about seven or eight feet high, if the murderer was nimble, he could completely go over the wall.

"What's on the other side of the wall?" Qiao Lezi asked Supervisor Liu.

"Well, it's an open space. Liu Yuan said.

The subordinates sent by Qiao Lezi to search the scene nearby had not yet returned, so he continued to turn around and ask everyone present: "Who was the third to arrive after Mao Yuefeng and Li Ran left the scene?"

One of the students also stepped forward with a little hesitation and said, "Probably a student...... Student Yu Jinhui, who is also a member of the art club, was passing by nearby when the incident happened, and rushed to this box when he heard the screams, and did not see anyone else at the scene when he arrived, thinking that Brother Li Ran and Brother Mao were just running to call someone, and the student also wanted to find someone to help, and when he ran back, he saw Zhang Zhiyan running towards this box. ”

"Did you see anyone else nearby when you arrived here?" Qiao Lezi asked him the same question.

Yu Jinhui thought for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

Qiao Lezi looked at everyone again: "Which one is Zhang Zhiyan?

A student stood up: "The student is Zhang Zhiyan, who is also a member of the Painting Art Club, and when he came, he did see Yu Jinhui. ”

Qiao Lezi: "Who is behind you?"

Several students stood up and reported their names, some members of the art club, some of whom had been assigned to be in charge of receiving guests nearby, and everyone said that they had never seen anyone else near the scene.

It seemed that the murderer had escaped over the wall, Qiao Lezi pondered, and asked everyone to continue to record the confession, and stood next to the corpse to watch the autopsy: "What's wrong?"

"The deceased was stabbed four times, the first was stabbed in the ribs of the deceased, which failed to cause a single blow, which should be the reason why the deceased was still screaming; the second cut cut the ribs, presumably because the deceased struggled and stabbed the part; the third stabbed in the stomach, and the fourth stabbed in the center, which was a fatal stab. "And the murderer was a sneak attack from behind the deceased, and the deceased had strangulation marks and abrasions on his neck, so the murderer should take advantage of his unpreparedness to go behind him, strangle the deceased's neck with one arm to clamp it, and the other hand held a knife around the front and stabbed the deceased's chest. ”

"From behind?" Qiao Lezi looked up, the trend of this painting wall is north-south, straight and straight together, turning east here, turning a right angle to become east-west, but this east-west wall is very short, only ten meters long, and then turning a right angle to the north, it becomes north-south, and then it has been extended.

This kind of wall is the most common garden wall, here the two folds are to increase the beauty, the deceased Zhang Min died at this corner to the east, his head to the east, his feet to the west and fell to the ground, indicating that the murderer was in the position behind the deceased that is, in the east.

If the murderer attacked from behind the deceased, then it is likely that the two people were together before the incident, and the murderer took advantage of the deceased's unpreparedness to walk behind him and suddenly attacked, and it could not be the murderer who had ambushed here in advance to carry out a sneak attack, because the east end of this short wall in the east-west direction is the right-angled wall, which extends directly to the north, and there is nowhere to hide, unless the murderer knew in advance that the deceased would go to this position at this time, and then jumped over from the other side of the wall and killed the deceased.

But then again, if the murderer doesn't know kung fu, how can he not be discovered by the deceased if he climbs over the wall? If he knows kung fu, why bother to do it here, why sneak attack from behind, and how can he give the deceased a chance to let him scream so as to attract others in a short period of time to make it more difficult for him to escape from the scene?

Therefore, the murderer does not know kung fu, and the murder was premeditated, otherwise he would not have a dagger on his body, but since it was premeditated, why did he choose this place for the killing? Wouldn't it be better to find a place where there are fewer people and it is easier for him to escape? How could he have chosen this place to climb over the wall, in case someone sees it? How could he not have considered this in advance? Just because if he climbed over the wall, he could temporarily block the view of the visitors? Well, this is also possible, there are several tables and tables in this corner, but you can step on the tables and climb over the wall......

Thinking of this, Qiao Lezi beckoned to a few of his subordinates: "Carefully inspect these tables and the things placed on the table to see if there are footprints or dust." ”

The subordinates should carry lanterns up to take a closer look, these tables are piled up with a lot of scrolls, some are unfolded, some are half-rolled and stacked in piles, and there are chairs and illustration shafts scattered around the table, and the painting urns and shelves for hanging paintings are scattered next to the table.

"Hui sirren, these paintings are also some charity sale items, we set up these easels on this side to hang the paintings of the charity sale," Mr. Nie pointed to the opposite side of the painting wall, "At that time, we will use the easel to build a painting wall, and form a gallery with the painting wall here, and the guests can enjoy the paintings on both sides when they walk in the corridor. ”

Qiao Lezi knew that at the moment, these paintings used for charity sales were put away and put on the table, obviously after the exhibition was closed, they were going to be packed up and hung up tomorrow, and these paintings had been piled up here before the murderer, so the murderer did not hide from the gallery set up by the easel.

The various inquiries and investigation work at the scene are still in progress, if the case wants to make progress, it is still necessary to wait for the work to be carried out for a period before more evidence can be obtained, Qiao Lezi sat on the chair to sort out his thoughts, and everyone at the scene did not dare to move around, so they had to stand next to him and wait.

After a little half an hour, Qiao Lezi's subordinates began to come over one after another to report the situation, first Zhang Jia, who was sent to the gate of the academy to investigate: "My lord, because the exhibition was closed for a long time when the murder occurred, and the guests had almost left. ”

No one enters or exits the gate, but it does not necessarily mean that the murderer did not escape from the academy, as long as he thinks of some way, he can always escape over the wall.

Then came to reply to Wang Yi: "My lord, the other personnel in the academy who have not left have been temporarily guarded, and there are no obvious suspicious traces near the crime scene, and there are no suspicious traces on the tables, chair piers, easels, and painting scrolls piled on the tables. ”

"No?" Qiao Lezi raised his eyebrows, "There are no ashes or footprints, what about the folds, and what about the damage?"

"None of them. Wang Yi said.

Could it be that the murderer climbed over the wall with his bare hands? Qiao Lezi touched his chin and thought, the wall is seven or eight feet high, if you turn it with your bare hands, you have to kick the wall to climb it!" "Go and check the wall to see if there are footprints or stains, or if the paint has been rubbed off, and in addition, let people check the clothes of all the people present to see if there are people who rub the powder paint on their bodies!"

Wang Yi went in response, followed by a report from the puppet: "In addition to the situation that I just presented to the adult, I also found stains of paint stains used in painting between the fingernails of the deceased,"

Qiao Lezi's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this: Usually in the cracks of the nails of the deceased who were strangled to death with unrestrained hands, there will be some slag stains on his own or the other party's body, such as skin dandruff, silk hair on clothes, etc., this is because when the neck is strangled and suffocated, the victim will be anxious to pick up the strangled things under fear, if it is with a rope, when the rope is stuck in the flesh, the victim will often scratch his skin in the process of picking the rope, causing the dander to remain in the nails. If the murderer is strangling the victim with his arm, the victim is anxious to get rid of the murderer, and will often scratch backwards indiscriminately, trying to make the murderer feel pain and let go of himself.

Merely...... This time, the deceased left behind paint in the cracks of his nails, but where did this paint come from? I heard that the deceased was the president of the art club, and he dealt with paintings every day, so it was not normal for the paint to be left in the cracks of the nails?

"Zhang Min is a person who loves cleanliness," a slow voice suddenly interrupted Qiao Lezi's contemplation, but he saw that the little ninth master of the Yan family stood beside him at some point, looking at him with his hands, a pair of black pupils were bright and heavy," He is very devout about painting, he must burn incense and change clothes and wash his hands before each painting, and after each painting, he must wash the stains on his hands before touching the painting paper, lest the paper be dirty, and he has always only loved light ink, and always mixes the ink with water to thin and light, if there are paint stains in his nails, it must not be his own unintentional hands, this scum stains, must come from the murderer. ”

Qiao Lezi looked at Young Master Yan Jiu: "According to the normal reaction of a person when he is strangled by his neck, the deceased should reach out and scratch the murderer's face, or desperately block the murderer's hand holding the knife, or try to pull away the arm strangled on the neck, if the paint in the cracks of the deceased's nails comes from the murderer, then what part of the murderer will have these paints? Could it be that it was accidentally stained on his face or hands?"

"I wonder why the murderer, since he attacked from behind, did not simply stab the deceased in the back of the heart, and why he took the trouble to strangle the deceased's neck first, and then go around to the front with the hand holding the knife to stab the deceased. Young Master Yan Jiu said.

"The only possibility is that you are afraid of being splashed with blood," Qiao Lezi said, "If you go around from behind and in front of you, you can use the body of the deceased to block your body, and the blood from the wound will not splash on your clothes." ”

"If the murderer is sure that he will escape over the wall after killing the deceased, he doesn't have to care if the blood will splash on himself, right?" The murderer can kill the deceased with one blow from the back of the heart, and it will not make the deceased make a sound, so that the murderer has enough time to escape over the wall, and even hide somewhere to change the blood-stained clothes, and then swagger to the outer wall of the academy to escape over the wall, it is better than having to risk attacking from the front in order not to splash blood on the clothes, in case the blow does not kill the deceased, and the sound is made to attract others, so that the murderer is likely to be unable to successfully avoid the eyes of the crowd and escape。 In terms of ease of implementation and success rate, it is clear that the former method is superior. ”

Qiao Lezi thought thoughtfully: "So what do you mean?"

Young Master Yan Jiu said slowly: "I am afraid that blood will get on my clothes, which means that the murderer is not sure that he can escape from the academy immediately, or if he escapes from the academy, it will be easy to be suspected, or rather, it is normal for him to have to stay in the academy at this time." At this time, the normal people who should stay in the academy are, of course, the people who are arranged to be responsible for receiving guests, and the members of the art club. ”

"And the deceased Zhang Min is the president of the Painting Art Society," Qiao Lezi continued, "so the primary suspect is the members of the Painting Art Society!" 166 Reading Network
