Chapter 250: The whole city is full of enemies
"What's wrong?"
Yang Huairen was puzzled, "Eighteen knife wounds, all of them are piercing wounds, what's the problem?" ”
"Your Excellency, please look!"
Xuan Shen casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground and used it as a murder weapon to demonstrate the angle of the murder weapon to Yang Huairen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I heard that the adult is also a person with superb knife skills, and he must also know the angle of the knife, you see, the eighteen stab wounds in the chest and abdomen of the deceased, each knife stabbing angle is different."
Yang Huairen watched his demonstration and immediately understood what he meant. He also brought with him a knife that he used most often, and at this time he also took it out to simulate the angle of the murder weapon's penetration.
After comparing the eighteen knife wounds one by one, judging from the muscle injuries inside these wounds, some of them were pierced vertically, and some were not, but pierced from another oblique angle, although the difference is not big, but it is very revealing.
"Isn't the murderer alone?"
As soon as Yang Huairen's words came out, the crowd around him was surprised to say "ah", and Li Jin, the head catcher, stood up and asked, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" Judging from the scene, there should be only one murderer? ”
Yang Huairen looked at Li Jin, who was about the same height as him, but slightly stronger than him, and he called Li Jin over and showed him how the murderer attacked the deceased face to face.
"Look, we are of the same height, if I were to stab you in the abdomen with a dagger, and the knife moved back and forth in my hand, stabbing it in a straight trajectory, would the wound be pierced at a vertical angle?"
Li Jin watched Yang Huairen stab as if he was holding the knife in his hand and slowing down, indeed the blade of the knife was perpendicular to his abdomen.
Yang Huairen continued: "If I want to stab you in the chest, should the knife in my hand be stabbed from the bottom up, so that it forms a certain angle, rather than piercing your chest vertically. ”
As soon as Yang Huairen demonstrated this, all the catchers understood it, and they all said that they were smart.
Yang Huairen then pointed out to them the wounds on the body of the deceased Zhang Gong'an, and asked them to observe carefully, and the wound in the abdomen and the wound in the chest did pierce at different angles.
But there is one thing that is very strange, just like the problem found in the front of the ginseng, whether it is the wound on the chest or the wound on the abdomen of the deceased, the angle of penetration is confused, some indicate that the person who stabbed the deceased to death is probably half a head taller than the deceased, and some seem to be shorter than the deceased.
This proves from another point that at least two people of different heights stabbed the deceased with sharp weapons.
What's even more weird is that all eighteen stab wounds were stabbed with a murder weapon!
As a cook, Yang Huairen has seen all kinds of knives, and he is confused by the wounds left by the murder weapon that stabbed Zhang Gong'an.
The wound is single-edged, sharp on one side and a wedge on the other, and the knife is asymmetrical on both sides, smooth on one side and a half-moon on the other.
Yang Huairen can only judge that this special shape of the knife must be some kind of practical, for a special purpose of the knife, he has not seen it, which means that this kind of knife should not be a common knife.
But how did the two of them divide labor and work together to kill Zhang Gong'an? Both of these people have a grudge against him?
Yang Huairen really couldn't figure it out, and even a few internal guards who followed him to the autopsy didn't figure it out.
With doubts, Yang Huairen walked out of the cold mortuary and returned to the Qizhou Yamen to see if the arresters who searched for the murder weapon had brought good news.
As soon as they entered the gate of the Yamen, a group of people dressed in various colors had already gathered outside the East Cross Courtyard of the Yamen Prefecture Office of Qizhou.
Summoned a soap official with a hurried look, and Yang Huairen asked the reason.
It turned out that the news of Zhang Gong'an's murder soon spread all over the streets and alleys of Qizhou City, and those who had been bullied by him on weekdays had to go to Zhang's mansion to ask for debts at this time.
The fast catchers in the yamen were afraid that the real murderers would be mixed with these people and destroy the clues that had not been discovered by them, or that they would rush into Zhang's house and secretly take away the murder weapons or props left behind, so they persuaded Zhang Lu's family to take out money to send these creditors.
So he led them to the yamen, checked them one by one according to the vouchers in their hands, and then asked the Zhang family to pay for the settlement.
Yang Huairen was very satisfied with the performance of these fast catchers, at least much more reliable than Xie Lao'er, the state lord.
If the murderer knows that Ke Xiaochuan, the original substitute for the dead ghost in this case, has been proven innocent, he will inevitably pay attention to the detection of the case and enter the city, and getting close to Zhang's Mansion or Yamen is the best way to secretly find out the news.
The catchers also realized this, so they came up with such a method, first, they could make them consciously come to the yamen to register by repaying the money to these creditors;
Second, the people who Zhang Gong'an offends on weekdays provoke too many people, and it can be said that the enemies are all over the city, which can also save them a lot of foot effort;
Third, the scope of suspects can be narrowed, there are too many people who have had a holiday or have a grudge with Zhang Gong'an, if anyone does not come to the yamen to complain at this time, is it a sign of weakness?
Therefore, the real murderer is likely to be hidden in these people who ask for accounts.
No matter which greedy person started this, Yang Huairen felt that this matter happened to narrow the scope of his search for the murderer.
But Yang Huairen was not happy for long, and when he walked into the East Cross Courtyard, he knew that this matter of narrowing the scope of suspects was not as simple as he thought.
Because Zhang Gong'an's enemies are too many, just this small courtyard is already crowded with people, roughly calculated, if there are not three hundred, there are two hundred and eighty or ninety, which is a lot of work.
Xie Changli originally thought that he would be able to rest after returning to the Yamen, but there was such a thing, if it was not handled well, these people would make a fuss, and if something happened, he would not be able to explain it to Shangguan.
Therefore, Xie Lao'er hurriedly ordered people to set up several tables in the East Cross Courtyard, and asked the clerks of the Yamen to record each table, and then according to the amount of money owed by Zhang Gong'an, they paid them one by one with a cart of silver sent by Zhang Lu's family.
Yang Huairen listened to these people whispering about the death of Zhang Gong'an in the crowd, and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the dead butcher.
The things that this Zhang Tu did in Qizhou City can really be described as full of evil. Relying on his brave and ruthless character, he has attracted a lot of splashes and gangsters in the city over the years, and even set up a gang called the Tiger Gang, and Zhang Gongan is the self-proclaimed gang leader, so his nickname is called Zhang Laohu.
Yang Huairen couldn't help but sneer, it seems that the local snake gang that dominates one side is competing with the tiger.
The Black Tiger Gang in Tokyo has already been completely destroyed by the Qinglian Gang, and the two gang leaders with the tiger in their names have now gone to the underworld to be companions, and it is estimated that they are also discussing the truth of ruining their lives with the wrong name in the underworld, right?
