[The first and third watches are estimated to struggle to one or two o'clock. 】

The reason why Sun Shaozong determined that there were two attackers in this homicide case was naturally to find more evidence on the corpses.

…………

Rewind the clock to a quarter of an hour ago.

While the subordinates of Rongguo Mansion hurried to the ear room to spread the word, Sun Shaozong naturally would not be idle-starting from the fatal wound on his neck, he checked the various traces on the surface of the corpse inch by inch.

First of all, except for the head and neck, there are only two hands that do not have any covering.

His left hand was dry, but there was a slight frost on the palm of his right, probably as if he had sweated before his death - but other than that, no more information was found.

The deceased was wearing a lapel mink fur on his upper body, and the area of his back stained with dust was slightly larger than the area where the corpse landed on the ground, and it is inferred that after the attack and fell to the ground, there should have been a brief struggle and writhing, but the amplitude was not very large and the time was not very long.

Similarly, the heels of the deceased's deerskin boots also left traces of pushing close to the ground.

After untying the lapel mink fur and the cotton clothes inside, it was found that there were a lot of sweat stains on the corpse.

Why is there sweat on the exposed palms?

Could it be that he once kept his hands in his sleeves for a long time, refusing to take them out even if he felt stuffy?

Why is there no sweat stain on the left hand?

Could it be that he was holding something in his sleeve?

But on this palm, there is no trace of holding anything for a long time......

In addition, Sun Shaozong also found another scar on Jia Huan's left arm.

The scar was on the outside of the upper arm, and the area was only the size of a grain of rice; Second, Jia Lian has a slight skin disease, and there are a lot of rashes from the shoulders to the elbows, so he almost missed it at the beginning.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong had the habit of repeated inspections, and only then did he find something strange in the second investigation.

Through observation and comparison, Sun Shaozong quickly concluded that the wound was caused by a sharp object—a perfect match for the gilded step on the fatal wound.

The murderer used that golden step to attack Jia Huan twice?

Such speculation was also smooth, but Sun Shaozong always felt that this seemed to conflict with some details of the scene.

Such as......

The shocked emotion in Jia Huan's eyes.

Since he has been stabbed in the arm by the murderer with a murder weapon, and there are traces of a fight under his ribs, it stands to reason that Jia Huan's emotions before his death should be based on horror.

Of course, these small flaws can barely explain the past.

However, in order to be safe, Sun Shaozong decided to re-examine the traces on the surface of the corpse, especially near the stab wound on his left arm.

As it turned out, his steadfastness was right: behind the side of the left upper arm of the lapel mink, new evidence was found!

It was a small piece of mink fur that was lodging, and it was very inconspicuous because it was mixed with the overall pressure on the back, and it was stained with dust and the current dark environment, so I didn't notice anything wrong before.

However, after careful comparison, it can be confirmed that the degree of lodging of this part is slightly more severe than that of the place near the left, which is also pressed by the arm.

These few differences alone don't mean much.

What really made Sun Shaozong feel like a treasure was the several parts of the lodging mink fur that were stuck together - to be precise, they were frozen together by a small amount of water.

And after a simple test, it is confirmed that these frozen moisture should be sweat.

At the same time, according to the results of the two little guys tasting it with their tongues, there was a smell of fat powder in the frozen sweat, which was the same as the frost sweat on Jia Huan's right hand.

A reasonable inference can be made from this: Jia Huan probably covered the sore spot with his right hand for a long time after the assassination of his left arm, so that the palm hidden in the fur was sweaty, so that he left such marks.

And in this way, the inference that the murderer attacked Jia Huan twice is even more untenable.

Since Jia Huan had a considerable period of respite between the two attacks, and there were no traces of restraint on his body, he could completely make actions such as escaping, asking for help, and struggling during this interval.

Besides, since Jia Huan has already been attacked once, he must be very wary of the murderer, how could he give the other party a chance to kill him with one blow after a period of time?

In short, no matter what aspect you consider, there should not be only two scars on his body, and there should be more traces left at the murder scene.

And Jia Huan's corpse should not have fallen in the most hidden place in the entire bamboo forest - you must know that this forest path is only about thirty steps in total, and if you dodge a few steps, you will deviate from the center.

Not to mention emotional issues......

Now it is reasonable to infer that after the first attack, Jia Huan quickly confirmed his safety, so instead of fleeing and calling for help, he continued to stay in the center of the bamboo forest.

But how was he sure he wouldn't be attacked again?

The murderer's assurance?

Jia Huan is not a stupid white sweet.

Murderer......

Ran away?

It's highly likely!

If the owner of this gilded step was really the person Sun Shaozong guessed, it was almost impossible for her to have murderous intentions towards Jia Huan.

If it was said that in a panic, he accidentally stabbed Jia Huan to death, it may still be possible, but after the first attack, after a while, another fatal blow was launched against Jia Huan......

Maybe she really ran away and left the murder weapon at the scene!

This also explains the question of why this murder weapon, which will obviously reveal its identity, was left at the scene.

And when Jia Huan saw her fleeing, he naturally didn't feel any danger, so he stayed where he was, covering the sore spot of his left arm, waiting for another person to arrive.

As for the reason......

"Steward Zhao."

Sun Shaozong suddenly turned his head to Zhao Zhongji and asked: "Now that people are dead and their debts are gone, you might as well tell me the truth, Brother Huan has recently owed gambling debts?" ”

"This ......"

Zhao Guoji hesitated, but nodded and said: "He went out secretly for most of the day that day, and when he came back, he complained that his luck was not smooth, and he probably lost a lot." ”

That's right!

The reason why Jia Huan appeared in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, and even after being attacked, continued to wait, was probably because he was anxious to fill the hole in the gambling debt, so as not to be discovered by Jia Zheng, who suddenly returned to Beijing.

But......

Why didn't he borrow money from his mother, Aunt Zhao?

Aunt Zhao followed Jia Zheng and worked in Jiangxi for more than two years, so she shouldn't have saved any savings.

"Aunt Zhao came back this time, have their mother and son ever been alone?"

"I didn't stay long."

Zhao Guoji smiled bitterly: "It's probably because of the fourth brother, the mother and son had a big quarrel - my sister was still crying, saying that she was in a stomach, but she didn't come to say the first half of the sentence." ”

I see.

This time, Aunt Zhao gave birth to a son outside, and the whole family was kept in the dark, even Jia Huan's own son.

For Jia Huan, who is paranoid by nature, this is undoubtedly a betrayal, and it is normal to quarrel with his mother because of this.

That's why he didn't ask his mother for help, but privately raised money.

However, with Jia Huan's notoriety for hating dogs, except for his sister Jia Tanchun, there shouldn't be anyone in this house willing to lend him money, right?

But Jia Tanchun had already given it to him when he repaid the loan last time - and because of this, the suspect Sun Shaozong locked up before was Jia Tanchun.

[Although Shi Xiangyun herself is also poor, her family is already poor, and she has never had any extra expenses, so there is no reason to make such a good thing.

Xue and Lin are not short of silver at hand, and Na Xichun is still mourning recently, and it is impossible to wear such a hairpin, so Jia Tanchun is the most suspicious. 】

In addition to Jia Tanchun, who is the other person who was invited by Jia Huan?

Why did the man answer his appointment in the middle of the night?

Could it be that he grabbed some handle, so he had to ......

Sun Shaozong was pondering, Jia Baoyu and others rushed over, Sun Shaozong didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he first confirmed the owner of Liu Jinchai's head according to his previous calculations.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got his head, he found something strange on Xue Baochai.

With the current situation of the Xue family, it is impossible for Xue Baochai to use this kind of gilded hairpin, can it be said that ......

She is the second person who was pinched by Jia Huan? ()
