Chapter 21: The Scholar's Injustice (6)
When she heard that the doctor was invited to help examine the body, Cheng Yao had already told herself not to have too much hope. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The result really can only be described in four words.
Hit hard.
Cheng Yao watched Dr. Chen fiddle with the corpse while observing it by herself, silently making a record in her heart.
The deceased, Chen Ruofeng, male, 15 years old, 5 feet tall, had loose hair and no obvious scars on his head. Bleeding from the eyelids and cyanosis of the lips are obvious features of asphyxia.
There were no fatal strangulation marks or strangulation marks on the nose and mouth and neck of the deceased. It can be seen that the murderer used soft objects, such as quilts, to cover the mouth and nose of the deceased, causing his death.
There was mud and dead grass in the nails of both fingers, and the first murder scene should have been in the garden lawn. So what exactly did the murderer use to plug the mouth and nose of the deceased?
What's that?
Cheng Yao squatted down and gently opened Chen Ruofeng's mouth, there was some white powder at the corners of his mouth, in his mouth, and in his nostrils.
The people in the room were all taken aback by Cheng Yao's actions.
"You get out of the way, I'm going to loosen his clothes and check for damage." Dr. Chen is a well-known doctor in Qinggang County, and he was arrested for an autopsy, and he really didn't know what to do.
Cheng Yao squatted back slightly: "Oh! ”
"Yaoyao, do you want to avoid it?" Zhao Qi gently reminded Cheng Yao in his ear.
"Huh? Do you want to shy away? Cheng Yao asked his father pretending to be stupid.
"It's okay, look!"
Well, even the father didn't say anything, and it was even more difficult for outsiders to say anything.
Moreover, this little girl is smart and witty, and she is observant, which may be helpful in solving the case.
The above is Yao Zhixian's idea. He has been the magistrate for so many years. He had never encountered a murder, and at this time, he really didn't know how to do it.
Dr. Chen unfastened the deceased's clothes, and there were bruises on the deceased's chest and back. It is likely that it was left behind by the deceased's struggle with the murderer during his lifetime.
"Yang Li, you go and ask, is there anyone who has a grudge against Chen Ruofeng. or had an argument with Chen Ruofeng before his death. Seeing this, Yao Zhixian hurriedly ordered.
Below, there was no more, and the autopsy was hastily over.
"My lord, there is a discovery! One student said that before dinner, he saw someone arguing with the deceased. Yang Li clasped his hands into fists and replied.
"Let that student come in and talk!"
"I've seen my lord! I've seen Dean Jiang! A cramped student.
"Who art thou, tell me all that thou hast seen."
This Yao Zhixian is still quite prestigious, Cheng Yao saw that the student's feet trembled.
"Xiaomin Xu Da, a student of the academy, yesterday dinner, I saw Wen Zixi and Chen Ruofeng at the rockery in the garden. At that time, Chen Ruofeng was sitting on the ground, and Wen Zixi was dragging the clothes on Chen Ruofeng's chest with both hands. I thought they were joking. I also shouted at the two of them, 'Zixi, Ruofeng, what are you doing?' ’。 Wen Zixi left in a hurry. Then someone called me to dinner, and I left.
Looking back now, both of them seem to be very angry. If I had paid attention to them and persuaded them well, maybe Ruofeng would not have died. As he spoke, the student named Xu Da began to cry.
"Bring Wen Zixi here!"
"Wen Zixi, why did you kill Chen Ruofeng!" Yao Zhixian slammed the table.
"No, I didn't kill him. I've always had a good relationship with Ruofeng, how could I kill him. Wen Zixi was startled, his legs were weak, and he knelt down.
"Good? Someone saw that you and Chen Ruofeng had an argument in the garden. ”
"I had an argument with him, but I didn't kill him, and when I left, he was fine. Besides, this girl said before that Chen Ruofeng was hung up in the back mountain after the rain, and last night I read a book with Zhang Tao all night, and he can testify for me. "Wen Zixi is a smart person, and after a short period of panic, he found a reason to defend himself.
"Yes, Wen Zixi and I don't live in the county school on weekdays, and last night's room was temporarily arranged, and Wen Zixi and I were separated. I couldn't sleep until I changed the bed, and I saw Zixi practicing calligraphy, so I got up to read. Zhang Tao recalled seriously.
Hearing this, Wen Zixi hurriedly nodded, "My lord, I am innocent, I didn't kill Chen Ruofeng!" ”
"But then I had diarrhea and left for a while. During this time, I had no way to prove it. Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment but still spoke.
"Zhang Tao, you fool. What can you do in such a short time, don't frame me! Wen Zixi stood up excitedly and grabbed Zhang Tao's arm.
"I don't know what you can do, but I have to tell the truth." The two writhed.
"Come on, separate them!" Yao Zhixian slapped the table and scolded.
"Zhang Tao, you despicable villain." Wen Zixi took a few deep breaths, and arched his hand and said, "My lord, I am fighting with Chen Ruofeng because of other things. Compared to me last night, no one proved it. Zhang Tao, the person who took the initiative to leave, was able to grasp the opportunity, and his suspicion was even greater. ”
"It's not me! I have no reason to kill him! ”
"Maybe you stole the money in order to frame Chen Ruofeng."
"Shut up all of them, court, uh-huh, no roaring in front of this official." Yao Zhixian was able to slap the table again.
"Yaoyao, is the murderer between them?" Cheng Bai asked in a whisper in Cheng Yao's ear.
"It's hard to say!" Cheng Yao put his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth and bit it lightly.
"You just touched the corpse and didn't wash your hands!" Cheng Bai suddenly reminded.!
Wow, she was about to throw up, Cheng Yao hurriedly ran out.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good. Parents of students gathered outside the door asked for the students to go home. Our people are almost unstoppable. A servant rushed in to report it.
"How so? Come on, follow me and see! "Yao Zhixian, Dean Jiang, and all the officials also went out of the gate.
So what about Yaoyao? Are you going to wait for her here? Cheng Bai thought about it and followed with a piece of edamame.
"Oh, it's murderous inside, what if it hurts my family!"
"A single seedling passed down by three generations of my family!"
"I didn't go home all night, so I don't know how to be scared!"
"You errand boys don't catch the murderer, stop us from doing anything!"
Through the door panel, you can hear the commotion outside. Yao Zhixian looked out through the crack in the door. I saw a wooden stick waving and patting my chest in fright: "Oh no, how can this be good." ”
"For the sake of today's plan, I am afraid that only by solving the case as soon as possible and releasing the students can we settle this dispute." Jiang Lao is also worried, how easy it is to solve the case!
"My lord, one of those two people just now must be a murderer, why not interrogate it strictly!" He Liang compared a gesture of swinging a hand knife.
"My lord, no!" Zhao Qi blocked.
"Hmph, the old man will never allow the students of the academy to be beaten into tricks!" Jiang Lao was angry and looked at Yao Zhixian and the others with cold eyes.
"The boss is angry, the lower officials have no such intentions!" Yao Zhixian hurriedly pleaded guilty, scolded He Liang fiercely in his heart, and tried his best to make up his mind.
"I have a solution to this situation. Your Excellency would like to hear from me. ”
Everyone saw that it was Cheng Bai who came later.
