Chapter 308 The Body of a Suspected Accomplice
How would I describe what I'm seeing now?
Even though I have seen many crime scenes with my own eyes, I have never seen any of them, like today...... It's so ordinary, it's terrible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I had completely forgotten what I was going to do at the moment, and all of a sudden, there was a bang in my head. My body trembled, and I almost fell into the blood stains on this place, but I blocked me with one arm, and I held him up, and I barely stood still.
"The messenger who came to investigate this morning called at the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door, so he slammed the courtyard door open. They searched the courtyard and another room, and when they arrived at this room, they were dumbfounded as soon as they opened the door. Only then did I hurriedly go to inform the house. The steward continued, covering his mouth and nose, and was also very uncomfortable.
The house was a mess, on the floor, on the walls, everywhere in the house...... It's all blood.
There was a figure who was kneeling in the room, but because most of his body was chopped up, he fell in a pool of blood, and it was impossible to prove which direction he was kneeling at that time, the legs of the corpse were bent, all the parts above the waist were divided, the head was cut off, and it was placed aside, and the eyes were still open......
"All traces in the house have been destroyed." I was helpless, there were too many footprints on the ground, which destroyed all the original scene, and even stepped on the bloody footprints outside. "Have they all been in the scene?"
"Huh." The steward responded, and explained with an embarrassed face, "In our small place, some people may not have seen such a scene when they have been on a bad day all their lives. At that time, everyone was also panicking, and they also wanted to find out how many victims were in this room, or that the murderer had not gone far......"
"Alright." I didn't let him continue, otherwise the case wouldn't be finished today. "I can understand that you have your responsibilities."
"Huh." The steward breathed a sigh of relief.
"The blood of the deceased has not fully coagulated, and it should have been killed not long ago." Sai Yu leaned over and did a preliminary examination and informed the results. "Extrapolating from the present time, the time of death of the deceased is no more than the time of death."
"When did the messenger find the body?" I went back to the steward.
The steward frowned, crossed his fingers and calculated, "When the little one received the news, it was just past the hour, so there is no doubt that it is the hour." ā
I received the news just after Mao, so the time when the poor person found the body was extrapolated forward, it was probably the middle of Mao. According to the preliminary test of the deceased, the time of the deceased's death did not exceed Yin Shi, but the circumstances of the deceased's death were special, "Sai Yu, can you know now how the deceased was killed?" ā
"Drowning, poisoning, burning and strangulation can be ruled out." "The corpse only has the lower body, the upper body is almost completely chopped into pieces, and there are no obvious injuries on the deceased's head. So I think there's only one possibility, for the dead. ā
"Hacked to death." I already understood what he was trying to say.
If other causes of death are ruled out, the only possibility left is that the cause of the deceased's death is hidden in these body parts. After the murderer killed the deceased, he dismembered his body, and the fatal wound was hidden in the fragments of the corpse.
"Judging from the wounds, it should be the same person who killed the children and dismembered the bodies." Sai Yu spoke up again and gave the most favorable answer.
"What? Isn't this person a murderer? "I'm a little confused." This is the courtyard that you found according to the conditions you gave Miss Huo Xi, isn't the person who died here the murderer of the children? Instead......"
"Whether it is the act of the deceased being dismembered after his death, or the fact that the deceased has the same wounds as other children who were dismembered, since the remains of this deceased and the previous eleven children were all committed by the same murderer, then this one deceased person is absolutely impossible to be the one who dismembered the children's corpses." I say.
"Exactly." Sai Yu said, "It's just that it is not yet possible to conclude the relationship between the deceased and the murderer." ā
"What does that mean?" The steward doesn't understand.
"Because in the previous inference, we believed that it was more difficult for the murderer to complete the murder and dismemberment of the body alone, and there may be accomplices. So now it cannot be ruled out whether the person who died here is an accomplice to the murderer. I said.
The steward's gaze hesitated for a moment between me and Sai Yu, "So, this person may have been killed by the murderer, that's what it means." ā
"That's right." This possibility cannot be ruled out now, because this person appears here, if it is not the murderer, then it is more likely to be an accomplice, "Now you need to send someone to inquire around to see if you can determine the identity of this deceased." ā
"By the way, I need to ask, is there anyone who usually comes and goes here often, and whether anyone was here last night." Sai Yu added.
"Okay, let's do it for the little ones." Although the person in charge hesitated, he was very alert, and when he was instructed, he hurriedly withdrew to do it.
"What do you think he was thinking?" Sai Yu remained silent, and continued to go about his work without the slightest distraction, by the way.
Don't even think about it, "He must have felt that the tacit understanding between us is getting better and better." After looking at the situation in the room, "So, you check here, I'll go and have a look in the hut." ā
"Well, pay attention to yourself, you've been under a lot of stress lately, so at first glance when you see something you can't bear, you will react too much." The priest did not forget to instruct.
"Yes." I'm aware of that, too. After that, he walked out of the room, and there were a few poor people in front of the straw shed, but this time no one took the initiative to touch the straw shed.
I'm pretty sure the smell of rotten blood came from this hut. But looking at it this way, there is nothing in the hut.
There is a shelf in the hut, which is so simple that you can see it at a glance.
I walked over to the shelf and reached out and touched it.
The color of the wood was strange, and it seemed to be a little too dark.
I looked down and sniffed at the shelf, and it smelled rancid...... There was only a thin layer of ash on the shelves, not like a shed that had been vacant for a long time, and it stands to reason that someone should have wiped it not long ago. The soil in the hut was still damp, and I remember the last time it rained was the day we returned to the city after picking herbs in the mountains, and the remains of children were first found and the notices were removed. It has been nearly half a month, and the sun has been good these days, and it is impossible for the land to be like this.
"Guys," I beckoned to the messengers to help, "come and do me a favor, dig up here, be careful, there might be something down there." ā
