After a brief autopsy of the corpse, they immediately asked the catcher to take them to the scene of the crime.

After all, there is no science and technology in this era, let alone sophisticated instruments, and it is almost impossible to find more answers from the physical scene, so we can only start from the scene of the crime to see if we can find any clues.

In fact, if this kind of thing is brought to the present, it is completely what the police should do, but there is no way now, as a forensic doctor and Shen Lian, who is a forensic doctor, he naturally wants to deal with all these things.

Fortunately, she has professional knowledge and has helped the police solve a lot of cases, otherwise, this may be a bit difficult for her.

In the process of going to the scene of the crime, the county magistrate also hurriedly followed, after all, there was another murder, and he could only pray that the case could be solved as soon as possible, but relying on his ability, it didn't work at all, since it was really all pinned on Shen Lian's body.

He briefly introduced the basic situation.

"The deceased person is called Zhang Xiucai, but the reason why he is called Xiucai is not because he is Xiucai, but because he has always been a scholar and wants to gain fame, but he has not been admitted for three consecutive years."

"And what about him?" Shen Lian asked with some curiosity.

Although it was a normal thing for scholars to gain fame in the ancient times, this person did not pass the exam for three consecutive years, and I am afraid that he would have given up long ago on ordinary people, but he still insisted, which makes people feel a little puzzled.

"There is talent, and there is some knowledge, but it is not clear why I was not admitted, there is an old mother in the family, who is over eighty years old this year, and the two of them depend on each other."

The murder was not at home, but in the library.

This library is where Zhang Xiucai works, and every day he helps people write poems or articles and other things to supplement his family.

After all, there is no source of livelihood, and there is an old mother in the family who needs to be filial, so this is his job in his spare time.

When they came to the library, it was already a mess, and there were blood stains scattered everywhere on the ground, it should have been after the knife, Zhang Xiucai was still struggling desperately, so he left it, and these many blood stains were not evenly dispersed on the ground.

In addition to the bloodstains, there was a lot of paper on the ground, some of which had been stained with blood, and the inside of the house was turned into a mess.

After seeing this scene, the county commander was also a little shocked, because all the words he said just now were all learned from Zhu Kuai, and he was also here for the first time.

In front of such a situation, Yin Chen asked curiously, "Could it be that the robbers came to turn the house into such a mess?" ”

"No, it won't."

Almost without any hesitation, Shen Lian directly denied this answer, and at the same time briefly said her own thoughts.

"The county magistrate also told us just now that Zhang Xiucai is a subsidy for the family by making money by writing, and judging from what he was wearing just now, the family situation should not be very good, and some people regard it as the target of robbery, which seems a little unreasonable and unreasonable."

After a pause, she continued.

"And when I was examining the body just now, I found a problem, that is, his body has an obvious time level, it should be the specific time of death last night, I can't be sure."

Because the degree of blood loss also has a certain impact on the judgment of the time of death of the corpse, and there is no professional machine to do the test, there is no way to determine the specific time, probably knowing that it was assassinated and killed in the first half of the night last night.

"However, a person with such an identity doesn't have any money, so it shouldn't be possible to have a grudge with someone, how can he be killed?" Shen Lian also couldn't figure out the confusion in Yin Chen's heart, because she really couldn't figure out what the reason was? After a brief investigation of the scene, no other clues and evidence were found, and there was no way but they could only leave temporarily.

However, after leaving, they did not go back to the yamen directly, but found Zhang Xiucai's mother.

As Zhang Xiucai's mother, she was in great pain and grief after knowing that her son was killed.

She is already so old, and her good son said that there would be no white-haired people to send black-haired people, which made her difficult to accept for a while.

And there is only one son in the family, if this son is gone, it may become a great difficulty to support herself with her ability.

Zhang Xiucai's mother cried for a long time before her emotions slowly eased.

Seeing this, Shen Lian asked, "Do you know who your son usually has more contact with, or who he has had conflicts with?" She shook her head, "My son is usually quite honest and filial, I really don't know who he will have a grudge with, it should be unlikely." ”

Seeing that she didn't answer her other question, Shen Lian continued to ask, "Then who does he usually have more contact with, you should know about it, right?" Although as a mother, he may not know who his son has had a conflict with, but in this case, it is possible that someone who has more contact is the real murderer.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiucai's mother nodded slowly and replied.

"He usually has more contact with a young man named Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng is also a scholar, and both of them want to get into the back, but the result is the same, no success."

After a few other simple questions, she was constantly able to help.

But before leaving, Shen Lian felt that this old woman was a little pitiful, and now she was left alone, and she was a little unbearable, so she took out a few taels of silver from her money bag and gave it to her.

Seeing her so kind, Yin Chen felt more and more in her heart that she was different from others.

Because he knows best what kind of situation Shen Lian is in now, he can still give money to others at this time, and it is not a lot, which shows that she is a kind-hearted person, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

As a result, as soon as they walked out of the door with their front feet, Zhang Xiucai's mother chased after them, because she thought of a very important thing.

"Yesterday during the day, my son stayed at home all the time, but it was almost evening, Zhang Meng came to look for him, and then the two of them went out, and I don't know what to do, my son didn't come back overnight."

As she said this, her eyes were still full of tears, because she was still a little unable to accept the fact that her son had completely left her.

Shen Lian looked at Zhang Xiucai's mother, her tone was very affirmative, and her gaze was extremely firm.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find the murderer of your son, and we won't let him die so inexplicably."

"Please."

After walking far away, Shen Lian sighed helplessly, feeling more and more that the old woman was too pitiful.

"Now I'm left alone, and I don't have any relatives around me, and that kind of taste must not be experienced by ordinary people."

"There are too many poor people in this world, and we can't help them all, we can only do our best."

After being said by Yin Chen, Shen Lian felt that it did make some sense.

There are many poor people in this world all over the world, everywhere, but she is just an ordinary person, and there are only a few people who can help.

"What are we going to do next? I can't find the murderer, and if we delay for a long time, the people will definitely say that we are not capable of handling the case, what should we do when the time comes? The county magistrate began to be a little anxious, because he really didn't know what to do, and he wanted to solve the case, but he didn't have the ability.

"Isn't there already a person named Zhang Meng now? We went straight to him and asked, and maybe there would be other clues. ”

Compared with the embarrassment of the county order, Shen Lian seemed much calmer, and did not feel at a loss, but felt that this case was not difficult, and it should not take a few days to be solved, and the first thing they needed to do now was to find this person named Wang Meng.
