As soon as he heard that someone had died in the Wangfu opera troupe, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned back to accuse Jia Yu and his brother, and then rushed to the scene with Jiang Yuhan.

Speaking of the fact that after cracking the 'Longsheng Old Store Heart-Splitting Case', Sun Shaozong has not been out of the scene for a few days, and when he first enters the work state, he really feels a sense of nostalgia for another world.

However, the moment I saw the scene of the murder, most of this nostalgia dissipated.

I saw that outside the row of simple thatched huts, there were seven or eight actors with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, all of whom were tall, short, fat and thin, but they all covered their noses with their hands.

As for the reason......

"Then Zhu Er was killed while going to the toilet?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yuhan also took out the veil, covered his mouth and nose and said in an urn: "When someone just entered the toilet, I just opened the door of the second latrine in the east head, and I saw him lying in it bloody, and he had already lost his breath for a long time!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and ordered: "Get out of the way, let Master Sun investigate the case!" ”

Those actors hurriedly stepped aside and cast awe and expectation at Sun Shaozong - when rehearsing before, Jiang Yuhan had collected a lot of Sun Shaozong's experience in solving the case for everyone to figure out the role, and there were many people in the palace opera troupe, so they became Sun Shaozong's reasoning fans.

But it was said that Sun Shaozong's face was expressionless, and when he arrived at the second toilet in the east, he raised his eyes and glanced inside, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - in the end, it is a famous restaurant in Beijing, and the sanitary condition of this thatched toilet is much stronger than imagined.

The whole latrine is about two meters long from north to south and about one meter five wide, with a thatched hut for shade and rain, surrounded by a whitewashed wooden wall, and the 'tunnel' in the middle is tightly covered by a wooden plank, and a long handle is nailed to the wooden board, so that the toilet can be easily removed when the person enters the toilet is out of the house.

In addition, there is also a Taishi chair in the corner, and the seat has an arc-shaped hole, which is like an ancient version of the toilet.

At this time, Zhu Er's corpse sat on the Taishi chair with round eyes, only a plain white underwear on his body, and a dagger in his heart - if nothing else, this should be the fatal wound suffered by the deceased.

Sun Shaozong looked at the door lock of the latrine a priori, and saw that there was no trace of forcible destruction on it, so he stepped in and reached out to lift the wooden board that pressed the tunnel.

An indescribable aura suddenly came out!

Sun Shaozong held his breath and looked down twice, then hurriedly pressed the wooden board back again.

After that, he came to the corpse of Na Zhu Er and examined it carefully.

He was about thirty years old, short in stature, with a white face, leaning back in a chair, his arms naturally hanging on the outside of the armrests.

After a preliminary inquest, it appears that the deceased had only one fatal wound on his chest.

The murder weapon was a dagger less than six inches, narrow and sharp, with no blood groove on the side, and after being inserted into the heart by the murderer, it seemed that there was no intention of pulling it out, so the amount of bleeding from the wound was not very large.

After confirming this, Sun Shaozong immediately checked it again, and Zhu Er's hands were hanging on the outside of the armrest.

If a sharp object is pierced into the heart and a large amount of blood is not pulled out instantly, the deceased will often be able to erupt into a violent struggle before death, so there is a high chance that there will be clues such as scraps of flesh and flesh or clothing fibers left between the fingers.

Sure enough, after a careful investigation, Sun Shaozong found some moon-white fibers in the cracks of the deceased's fingernails.

But......

These white fibers appear to be of the same material as the deceased's clothes.

Could it be that he grabbed his clothes before he died?

Sun Shaozong groaned slightly, suddenly turned his head and walked out of the latrine, pulled a scene dressed as a martial artist nearby, opened the colorful costume, and studied it again and again.

That Wusheng was stunned by him, and when he didn't know whether to resist or want to refuse to welcome back, Sun Shaozong had already thrown him away and asked in a loud voice: "The moon-white underwear you wear inside, but it is uniformly distributed by the palace opera troupe?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and Jiang Yuhan also covered his nose and said angrily: "Brother Sun, the outfits in our troupe are all sewn by the needlework women in the house, so they are all uniform styles and materials. ”

"In this case, there is a high chance of internal crimes."

Sun Shaozong undoubtedly ordered: "I also ask Brother Jiang to summon all the people inside and outside the troupe to the backstage, so that I can examine the corpse and ask about it." ”

In fact, Jiang Yuhan also felt that the murderer was inside the troupe, so without saying a word, he hurriedly ordered and summoned everyone in the troupe to the backstage.

said that Sun Shaozong turned his head, then went to the corpse again, and continued to carefully investigate.

The deceased stared angrily, and his expression was frightened and a little incredulous - maybe he didn't believe that the murderer would do it to him?

At the corners of the deceased's mouth, there seemed to be a lot of traces of saliva overflowing.

Sun Shaozong further opened the deceased's lips and found that there were clear tooth marks on the inner wall of the lips, which should be the traces left by the deceased's mouth when he struggled under external pressure.

Could it be that he covered his mouth with one hand and pierced his heart with a dagger with the other?

If so, this man should be quite agile.

But......

Agility seems to be the basic skill of the play, so it can't be regarded as too important evidence.

Sun Shaozong groaned in his heart, and carefully pulled the deceased himself outward, so as to vacate some gaps and check the situation behind the deceased.

The first thing to look at was the back of the head, and apart from some floating dust, there were no signs of collision or severe friction.

If the murderer reached out to cover his mouth, according to common sense, the deceased should have leaned back to dodge.

Was the inference of covering his mouth with his hand wrong, or was it because the deceased did not touch the wall when he was struggling?

Wrong!

Based on the blood in the abdomen of the deceased, it can be concluded that he was attacked while sitting in a chair, and the slightest struggle in this position would knock him down the wall behind him - that is, the inference that he covered his mouth with his hand is problematic?

And there are obviously some friction marks on the wall behind the deceased's head.

Could it be that he had something in the back of his head at that time?

While constantly deducing according to clues, and constantly questioning himself, Sun Shaozong carefully inspected the murder scene more than twice, inside and out.

is habitually, simulating the scene when the murderer committed the crime in his mind, and suddenly heard someone outside complimentingly say: "Lord Zhizhong, after repeated interrogations by the officials, I learned that Zhu Er, who died suddenly, is usually used to stealing, playing tricks, and passing the buck to others, so he is not in harmony with many people in the troupe." ”

"In addition, this Zhu Er once made a big joke on the stage because of unbearable abdominal pain, and every time the play starts, he will go to the toilet first to pay respects, and everyone in the troupe knows about it."

These words are concise and tight.

Sun Shaozong looked back curiously, and saw a person standing outside the latrine, but it was Cheng Su Xingfang of Daxing County.

"What's the matter, Su Xiancheng is also here to listen to the play?"

"Don't hide it from you."

Su Xingfang smiled ashamedly: "The lower officials have been here for three days, and I don't know how much official business has been delayed because of this, and I don't know if it should be like this, but I really can't bear to do such a wonderful show." ”

This person usually looks shrewd and capable, but he can't imagine that he is also a drama idiot inside.
