Chapter 45: Eyewitnesses
"No skulls were found. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Qin Ran tilted his head slightly and repeated the words.
They found the other part of the two corpses outside the city, the head of the headless horseman's waist corresponding to the headless corpse in the firewood house in the courtyard of the narrow alley, and the rest of the body should have appeared somewhere, and the failure to find it here only indicates that the murderer had hidden his head somewhere else - the place that led them to find it, the place where the murderer's true intentions were revealed.
"The side shows that Ren San did die on horseback." After thinking about it and carefully looking at the wall marks in the firewood room, Qin Ran continued. "Firewood room, the first crime scene."
"The scene of the first crime?" Song Tianyan heard this word for the first time, and although it was not difficult to understand, he couldn't help but look at Qin Ran with a slightly puzzled look.
Li Chen was no stranger to Qin Ran's words, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment like her, trying to find some clues.
"County Lieutenant Li, you come." Glancing at Song Tianxian, Qin Ran then pushed the door of the firewood room completely open, causing the smell in the room to dissipate a little, and then beckoned to Li Chen.
"How?" Li Chen raised his head.
"Suppose you are the dead, I am Ren San." As Qin Ran spoke, he stood behind Li Chen, simulating the case. "Ren San is slightly fat, the lower plate is extremely stable, the strength is not small, the deceased is thin, and the other circumstances are unknown for the time being. Yesterday, I lied that I had consulted with you about something, and led you to the wood-room, and you went into the wood-room to wait for me, and I killed you with a wood-chopping axe while you were unprepared, and at that time, you were facing the inner wall, and my axe cut off your head from the back of the neck. ”
"Look at the corpse, the back of the neck is obviously broken, and he is lying on the ground with his back to us." In order to be more convincing, Qin Ran squatted beside the corpse and pointed at the half-cut neck of the headless corpse. "In addition, Ren San was hangover, he was not fully awake, and his hand strength was a little bit worse, and after he swung the first axe, he immediately made up for it."
Li Chen, who was next to the corpse, and Song Tianxian, who was by the door, looked at the corpse together, and could clearly distinguish that there was more than one neck scar.
"Xiao Qin, will there be a third person in the firewood room? The deceased was talking to the man, and Ren San sneaked up from behind? Scratching his head, Li Chen wanted to know if there was a third person present, otherwise their clues would be broken again.
"Nope." Qin Ran replied in the affirmative, and said without waiting for others to ask again. "I have proof."
"Huh?!" Could it be that she saw it with her own eyes? Otherwise, how could she speak in such detail as she had seen with her own eyes, if she hadn't believed her, Li Chen would have thought that Ren Bacheng had been killed by her.
"Blood stains on the walls." Qin Ran was about to speak, but he felt that this was not easy to explain clearly, so he thought about it before he said. "Depending on the angle, height, distance and other factors, the signs of blood are also different."
"For example, if the butcher kills a pig, if it is a dead pig, the pig will not struggle when the butcher kills the pig, if the pig lies on the ground, then the blood pool flowing from the pig will form a large pool of intact blood on the ground, if the pig is hung on a beam, then the blood on the pig will flow down, and it will eject again if it falls on the ground, and there will be dotted blood stains formed by splashing everywhere, the higher it hangs, the more it splashes, and the larger the distribution range of small dots; If it is a live pig, the pig will struggle when it is killed, and there will be more blood stains, throwing and columnar..."
"This is blood shape analysis, and I know it's going to be abstract for me to talk about it, but I can't help it, and I can demonstrate a bleeding flow diagram when I have a chance." Seeing that the two of them were a little stunned, Qin Ran didn't say any more.
She thought the two didn't understand much, but he did.
"The blood stains on the wall are clean, complete, and unblocked, the deceased should be facing inward, and Ren San is on the outside, according to the position where the deceased fell, it is unlikely that another person will be squeezed out of this small firewood room." The index finger rubbed his chin, and Song Tian instantly figured out some details.
"Yes." Qin Ran praised in his heart, his comprehension ability was quite strong. "So, if there was a third person in the firewood room at that time, they wouldn't have to run to the firewood room to talk about things, but in fact, there was still one person in the courtyard."
Out of the firewood room, Qin Ran took the two into the hall.
Ren San originally lived alone, and it was basically impossible to clean the house or something from time to time, several wooden chairs with backrests were covered with a thin layer of dust, but the surface of the table top and a chair on the top was wiped clean, and there was an untouched cup of tea on the table, which was easily reminiscent of the real murderer.
The identity of the real murderer is higher than Ren San, and Ren San is required to kill the dead in the firewood house who also has some relationship with each other, and then, the real murderer kills Ren San outside the city.
"Ren San for some reason, received news earlier yesterday, Yu Chen Shi at the end of the time, the beginning of the time hurriedly left the Fengxian Pavilion, rushed back to the small courtyard, killed the deceased, with his head passing by Li Ji's mule and horse line, and took away Li Ji's shopkeeper's white horse, the city gate guards saw him out of the city at the right time, and soon after, Ren San died."
"Fengxian Pavilion, here, outside the city." According to Qin Ran's words, Song Tianxian strung all the dots together in his mind.
"On the whole, the whole logical speculation is chronological."
"I'm going to find someone to guard this place, and by the way, ask anyone in the neighborhood if they see anything." After listening to his analysis, Li Chen also figured out the ins and outs.
Now, the case still has to continue to focus on Ren San and the thin deceased, and at the same time, if they can find witnesses, they can find the person who is very likely to be the real murderer!
This case is not simple, there are many dark clouds, and Li Chen's heart is unconsciously dignified.
About half an hour, Qin Ran had just finished investigating the scene again and conducted an autopsy, and Li Chen found a special "witness".
……
In the early years, there were several courtyards in the narrow alley, and later the people in the compound either moved away or declined, and the yard was divided into a number of small courtyards or houses, and more and more residents moved in, and the narrow alley became very lively, with tea houses, wine shops, clothing and hat jewelry stores, paper, ink, pen and inkstone shops, etc., so that there is the most prosperous place in Furong City now.
Opposite the courtyard where the body was found, there was a high-gate compound.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the compound was empty, and there was only a blind woman and two young men left, guarding a lonely and prosperous house.
However, perhaps the loneliness in the eyes of outsiders is a passing moment for them.
"Huh! Mother, slow down! Mother, what are you anxious about, what's your business? ”
"Little rabbit, do you think your mother can't see if she's blind? Go back, don't make trouble for the old lady! Otherwise, the old lady discounted those dog legs! ”
The conversation between the two floated into the small courtyard, and the people in the courtyard turned around together, only to see a woman with a crutch, stepping over the threshold at a speed impossible for ordinary blind people, walking into the courtyard, and walking straight towards Qin Ran and the others.
And there is a person behind her, naturally Cheng He, the sleepy-eyed Cheng He!
Cheng He walked through the streets and alleys yesterday, while warning those who were hanging on to settle down, while secretly checking the clues, he went back to lie down when it was almost dawn, Li Chen checked the people nearby, and knocked on the door of Cheng's house again.
Unbeknownst to her, the blind woman who opened the door said that she had "seen" people entering and exiting the opposite courtyard the morning before yesterday.
"Qin Zhutou, Qin Zhutou is here, right?" With a club in one hand, the woman stretched out her other hand and grabbed it in the air.
"Aunt Cheng, what do you know?" Qin Ran walked over in two steps and took her hand.
