013 Yuan Wu Case (2)
Hey?
Two strange traces on the ground caught Feng Chuan's attention, the two light gray traces were clearly water lines, and the ground was scorched black by the fire, but only two traces were exceptionally clear, revealing a brown and yellow earth color.
Feng Chuan stretched out his hand and gestured, these two traces were more than two meters long, and the ground had no shape. These two marks appear to be the marks left by a person being dragged on two legs. Feng Chuan followed the traces and walked down, and there was a humanoid shape on the couch in the inner room, "It seems that this is the place where the deceased was lying at that time, and according to the time, he was already asleep at that hour." ”
"How?"
Yuan Han nodded beside him, and Feng Chuan paused. "Your brother was burned here."
Yuan Han nodded, she thought about it carefully, since she was burned to death and her body was scorched black, how could she expose her true colors under the bed?
"Does your brother have an enemy on weekdays? Or do you have a grudge with someone? ”
Yuan Han seemed to have been bitten and denied: "No, my brother is humble and doesn't speak loudly, how can there be an enemy?" ”
Speaking of this, Feng Chuan remembered that he hadn't read the corpse yet.
She turned around and walked to the inner hall, Liu Shi has now returned to the coffin from the outside, took the paper money and began to burn, chanting while burning, why is God so unfair, you are gone, I am alone, how will I live in the future?
Feng Chuan approached step by step, and the Liu family was not guarded until Feng Chuan approached the red coffin, and when he saw the face of the deceased, Feng Chuan's delicate body shook, and the Liu family repeatedly explained that the dead man was heavy in yin and should not step forward.
The dead man is not good-looking, his face is extremely dark, Yuan Han's dead brother Yuan Wu is none other than the person who came to report his wife's attempt to harm him that day. How could there be such a coincidence that he died mysteriously one day later? Feng Chuan had to re-observe what her wife had done.
She wanted to step forward again, but Liu Shi said that the dead should not step forward because of their heavy yin qi.
"I don't mind, I just want to see my brother again."
Feng Chuan plucked up the courage to step forward, if it weren't for the fact that she accidentally saw the man's hand with an extra finger than ordinary people yesterday, she wouldn't have recognized this man with a dark face and a swollen body as the person she had seen before.
If he had been burned alive, how could he have such a large area of swelling on his body? His fingers were spread out, as if trying to grasp something. And those who have been burned by the fire clenched their fists tightly. As the fire burns, the tendons will naturally shrink together, and the skin will melt and wrinkle together due to the heat, so the skin must shrink and shrink.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death."
Feng Chuan kept looking at the woman as he spoke. Intentionally or unintentionally, he inquired about some of Yuan Wu's preferences before his death.
Yuan Wu is honest, loves singing, likes fishing on weekdays, and has no other bad hobbies.
"Do you know how to water?"
Liu glanced at Feng Chuan and said lightly, "I didn't hear about it." He turned around and looked back at Yuan Han: "Does your brother know water?" ”
Yuan Han shook his head, the brothers didn't know water since they were children.
Asked if Yuan Wu had any friends on weekdays, Liu's hand stroked his chin lightly, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
The sun was about to set, Feng Chuan went home, and Yuan Han sent him out, "Brother Tai walks slowly, I don't know if you think there is anything wrong with my eldest brother's death?" ”
Seeing that there was no one around, Feng Chuan told the truth.
The deceased's whole body was swollen and her palms were open, which is enough to prove that the cause of her death was not a fire, but that she had died before the fire, most likely by drowning.
Yuan Han couldn't hold his breath, and turned around to enter the house to question the Liu family.
Feng Chuan grabbed him and told him not to act rashly, after all, he was not completely sure, so he stopped.
"I'll give you ten taels of silver, you can find out the results as much as possible, and the eldest brother will be buried in two days, and even if you report to the official, it won't be too late."
Feng Chuan understood in his heart and nodded slowly.
She walked fast along the way, just to go back to the shop to simulate what she looked like when the crime occurred.
Aster was cleaning in the shop, and when asked where she had gone early in the morning, she reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, saying that there was business in the shop.
Before Aster could ask again, she sighed and asked Aster if she remembered the man who came to her.
"Something happened to him, didn't he?" She looked at Feng Chuan and asked slowly.
Feng Chuan didn't want to admit it, but nodded anyway.
"It's true that someone killed her, but I'm not sure if it was her wife?" Fengchuan was a little worried, found the evidence, and sent it to the yamen, the evidence was ironclad, naturally proper, but if the Liu family buried Yuan Wu's body, there would be no proof of death.
She hurried to the backyard to confirm her idea, and first placed a piece of cloth on the ground, wrapped in dry branches, which were damp branches with water, and could not ignite when the flint and steel rubbed against the fire.
She suddenly had an epiphany, Yuan Wu should have drowned, because his body was wet, so he couldn't ignite it at all, and the murderer had to set fire to the house to destroy the evidence.
Doing so much, it's not to cover it up, Yuan Wu's real cause of death is drowning, he doesn't know water, someone must know this secret, deliberately asked him to go near the river, and while no one deliberately pressed him into the water, he was transferred home after drowning, so there were two traces left on the ground, and the people who could do this must be familiar people, but a woman from the Liu family alone couldn't do so much.
Although it is late, the detective can't wait, and if you miss a moment, you may be one step closer to the truth.
She went to Yuan's house again, it was getting late, Aster said nothing and refused to let her go, and finally Fengchuan promised to let her follow, she agreed, they were extra careful, and came to Yuan's house against the strong wind.
Aster was a little scared, but Feng Chuan was extremely brave.
"Mother, why don't you wait for me outside."
Aster shook her head, determined to follow.
Yuan Han saw Feng Chuan and was curious, Feng Chuan quietly called him aside, and told him to transfer everyone away, and he wanted to see if there were any other clues about the corpse, Yuan Han agreed without hesitation.
Aster covered her mouth with her hand and approached Feng Chuan: "The dead are unlucky, don't mess around for a while." ”
"Don't worry!" She said absentmindedly.
Since she was a child, she has always comforted Aster like this, but there is nothing that makes Aster worry. Aster shook her head, but couldn't say anything harsh.
Yuan Han deliberately let the Liu family enter the house and turn over some of Yuan Wu's clothes before his death. He said: "I'm afraid that the eldest brother will be cold down there, so burn more." Liu lowered his eyes and entered another room.
Feng Chuan looked at the deceased carefully, the shoes on his feet were gone, his face was black and blue, but his clothes were clean.
"Have you changed the clothes of the deceased?"
Yuan Han on the side was stunned, he did ask his sister-in-law to help his brother change his clothes, as the old saying goes, he was afraid that his brother would go too much.
Feng Chuan then asked where the clothes and shoes went?
Yuan Han's eyes rolled, and he said that he was lost at the door, but somehow he disappeared.
Feng Chuan realized that Yuan Wu's clothes would definitely be used as evidence.
"I don't know, can I stay for the night?"
Aster pulled Feng Chuan from behind, making a look, but it was useless
