The well-dressed man was the local lieutenant chief, and when he saw a large group of people, led by the Guancheng County Order, the lieutenant immediately ran over, bowed and saluted, and said: "County Zun, the villain is the lieutenant here, and a box was found in the woods, which contained Zhang Biao and Zhang Gongzi, who is dead!" ”

This lieutenant happened to know Zhang Biao, and when he saw the death of the little overlord of Zhengzhou in the part he was responsible for, he really couldn't say his disgust, but he had no choice but to send someone into the city to report to the official, and he was guarding here.

The Guancheng County Commander snorted, he looked at the box, the lid of the box was closed, at this time it was already dark, the servants lit torches and gathered around the Guancheng County Order, Li Rizhi also stepped forward and stood on his side.

Guan Cheng County Ling actually didn't want to open the box now, there was nothing to see about a dead person, especially when it was dark, he was afraid that he would have nightmares when he slept in the future.

Li Rizhi looked at the face of the county magistrate of Guancheng, and saw that the county magistrate had an unhappy expression on his face, so he said, "Where did you find this box, have you already opened it?" ”

The lieutenant chief didn't know him, but since this young man could stand next to the county magistrate and open his mouth to speak directly, he must also be a person of status, the lieutenant refused to slack off, pointed to the woods, and said, "It was found in there, and the box has been opened!" ”

Several people on the edge of the forest, including the hunter, thought in their hearts, of course the box was opened, otherwise how could they know that there was a dead person inside, and it was Zhang Biao who died!

Li Rizhi's face sank, and he said: "You have moved the box, and you have opened the box, you have to restore it to its original state, otherwise how would the county magistrate know what the scene was like when the crime happened!" ”

Li Chang was stunned for a moment, oh sound, he is also a person with some knowledge, he has heard that when the government is solving the case, the scene cannot be destroyed, but why, he doesn't know, and he never goes to his heart, after all, how could he have thought that there would be a murder in the place he was responsible for!

The lieutenant hurriedly said: "Then, is it too late to move back now and restore the original state?" ”

Li Ri knew: "Slowly recover, it must be exactly the same as the scene when it was discovered, so that the county can make it easy for adults to solve the case." ”

After saying this, he turned around and ordered Guancheng County: "County Zun, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore the original state of the scene tonight, for the sake of prudence, the student suggests that it is not too late to start handling the case at dawn tomorrow, so as to give the chief a chance to make up for his mistakes!" ”

Guan Cheng County Ling sighed and said: "This official is not a harsh person, so I will give the lieutenant commander a chance, you will slowly recover to the original state, as long as you don't delay the official to judge the case tomorrow." ”

Guancheng County Ling thought that he would solve the case tomorrow, and he didn't need to see the dead body tonight, he learned that there was a homicide case, and it was necessary to go out of the city to investigate it immediately, because Cui Dongsheng was thinking that it was not good for him to maintain law and order, so he had to be diligent, but after going out of the city, there was no need to solve the case overnight, and there was no way to solve the case in this dark day!

has his own errand to lead the way, and wants to lead the Guancheng County Commander to find a place to rest, the Guancheng County Commander called Li Rizhi and said: "Let's go together, have a good rest tonight, and it's not too late to solve the case tomorrow!" ”

The more he looks at Li Rizhi now, the more pleasing he becomes, since Li Rizhi can think about him, then he is also willing to take care of Li Rizhi.

Li Rizhi said: "The county zun go and rest, after all, the county zun will personally preside over the case tomorrow, and no one else can replace it, and the students will supervise their recovery of the scene, if there are any clues, tomorrow the students will report to the county zun!" ”

Guancheng County Ling was very pleased, look at this Li Rizhi, no wonder Lord Assassin Shi admires him, he is too good at being a man, he knows how to do things, if his subordinates are all like this, how good it would be!

Guan Cheng County Ling nodded, and said: "Then everything here has Lao Li Xian's nephew, it seems that Lord Assassin Shi asked you to help this official, and it is indeed the right thing for you to come!" ”

He turned his head to Li Chang and said, "This Li ...... Sir, what he means is what the official means, just listen to him! ”

Li Changwei was silent, looking at Li Rizhi's eyes and instantly became respectful, and after the Guancheng County Order left, Li Chang asked, "Mr. Li, where are you teaching?" "He thought that if he was called sir, he must be teaching!

Li Rizhi smiled slightly and said, "I haven't started teaching yet, I'm still reading!" ”

"Ah, I'm still studying, so I can be called Mr. by the county magistrate, it seems that Mr. Li's knowledge is great!" The chief said with envy.

Fu Guibao nodded on the side and said, "Mr. Li, the word Mr. means born first, so I call Mr. Li the eldest brother!" ”

Li Rizhi pointed at Orion and said, "Is that the box you found?" Where was it found? ”

Orion pointed inside, and said, "In there, not too far from the edge of the forest, there is a hut in there, and beside the brook, where the little man sometimes rests, and in the winter catches birds and beasts. ”

Cheng Zizi smiled: "I also have a hut like this, but it is built with tree bark, and it is on the tree, very small, and it can treat me alone!" "He's a hunter by origin, so he naturally knows how to hunt.

Orion said, "The villain's house is quite big! He led the way in front, and the lieutenant and a villager followed behind with a suitcase, and went to the hut together.

It's really not far, but it's only a few dozen steps away, and the house is on the edge of the stream, and there are nets in the stream, and it seems that the hunters are still fishing.

Orion opened the door of the house and said, "The villain didn't come a few days ago, but he came today, and found that the door of the house was open, and he thought that a beast had come in, and the house was also in chaos, and there was a big box on the ground, and the villain didn't know what was going on, and after opening the box, he found that there was a dead man inside, and the villain went to report to the chief, and then waited until now!" ”

Li Rizhi looked at the box and found that the box was broken, but it was not broken on the front but on the side, and there was a small round hole, although this small round hole was not smooth, but it could also be seen that it was pierced by sharp weapons such as knives and guns.

Li Rizhi asked the messenger who came with him to raise the torch lower, he carefully looked at the round hole on the box, there were blood stains on the round hole, it seems that it was estimated that a sharp weapon pierced the box from the outside and stabbed the person inside to death, so if it is inferred, Zhang Biao may not have been killed and put into the box, but was stabbed to death in the box!

He asked Orion to open the box again, and immediately a stench rushed out, it seemed that Zhang Biao had been dead for several days, the corpse was stinking, and the people in the house covered their noses and retreated, only Li Rizhi remained silent, but bent down and looked at the box carefully.

Chen Yingying covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief behind her and shouted, "Rizhi, it stinks, aren't you disgusting?" ”

Li Rizhi turned his head and said, "Of course it's disgusting, it stinks so much that I'm about to faint, but I can't see the situation if I'm far away!" ”

Chen Yingying took out another handkerchief and handed it to Li Rizhi, Li Rizhi saw that the officer next to him had an expression of wanting to vomit, so he took the torch and said, "You all go out of the house, I'll just check it alone!" ”

He put the torch into the ground, and the hut was the land, and the torch could be put into the ground, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and he told Orion to go out and find a branch, and then he took the branch and turned the corpse.

Li Ri knew: "The location of Zhang Biao's body hasn't been moved, right?" ”

Orion shook his head and said: "I haven't moved, how dare the villain move the dead, but if you carry the box around, maybe the corpse inside will shake, but it shouldn't move too much." ”

Li Rizhi turned over the corpse with a branch, and saw that Zhang Biao's fatal wound was in the back, it was a big wound, and the blood flowed all over the box, but it had dried up and seeped into the wood, and judging from the size and location of the wound, it should have been caused by the round hole in the box, and the sharp weapon was pierced from there.

Li Rizhi called in the messengers and asked them to drag the corpse out of the box and lay it flat on the ground, the corpse stinked very much, and the officers were very unhappy, but seeing Li Rizhi's serious appearance, they couldn't lose their temper.

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi both wanted to come in to help, but they were kicked out by Li Rizhi, he could do it alone, and the large number of people would get in the way.

Li Rizhi opened Zhang Biao's clothes and wanted to check if he had any other scars, but found that Zhang Biao's coat was completely naked, without underwear or underwear, and his whole body was naked, just like when he was taking a bath.

This is really strange, could it be that Zhang Biao was taking a bath at the time, and then he was arrested, put on a coat indiscriminately, and stuffed it into the box?

After checking other places of Zhang Biao, there were no other fatal wounds, and it can be preliminarily determined that Zhang Biao was killed by a sharp weapon outside the box!

Li Rizhi looked at the ground in the room again, and found that there were blood stains oozing, which were seeping out from the corner seams of the box, and opened into a square inside, and the outside was an irregularly shaped blood mark, and the land sucked blood, so the blood mark was not very big, although Zhang Biao bled a lot, but it was not all over the ground, because of this, everyone carried the box out and went in, and did not step on the blood mark to blur, and the general shape was still retained.

This is obviously a problem, that is, Zhang Biao was killed in this house, not after killing outside, the murderer carried the box into the house, if the person killed first and then carried the box, then there would be blood dripping on the ground.

Zhang Biao's fatal wound was only one, the wound was large, and it was in the heart position, so the situation at that time must have been bleeding non-stop, and the quality of the box was not very good, it was just an ordinary wooden box, so the blood would quickly flow through the wooden box to the ground!

Even if Li Rizhi's inference was wrong, Zhang Biao was not killed in the house, but according to the quality of the box, the size of the wound, and the flow of blood, then the place where Zhang Biao was killed would not be more than twenty steps away from here!

Otherwise, there will be blood on the road!

Li Rizhi stood up and said, "Light up the torches and look around...... Thirty paces away, if there is any bloodstain, everyone should look carefully and not leave anywhere. ”

The errand officer, the lieutenant, the hunter, the villagers, and Fu Guibaocheng were all out to look for them, only Chen Yingying stayed, but although she didn't go far, she refused to enter the house, it was too smelly, it was really difficult for Li Rizhi to stay inside.

Li Rizhi checked the door again, and found that the door was kicked open from the outside, and it looked like a wild beast had crashed open from the outside, and the house was very messy, so I don't know if there were any wild beasts coming in here after the murderer left, but the wild beasts couldn't open the box, so they couldn't destroy the corpse, unless it was a large beast like a bear and a tiger, but obviously there was no such thing in this place, otherwise the government would have sent a messenger to fight the tiger and kill the bear.

Li Rizhi walked out of the house, stood outside, and began to think about it and sort out the context of the matter.

When Chen Yingying saw him come out, she walked over and said, "You finally came out, I thought you liked to smell that, you don't like corpses, such as eating!" ”

Li Rizhi glanced at her and said, "Your words really make me creepy, how can I like corpses, or like to eat, do I look like a monster!" ”

At this time, the people who went out to see the bloodstains came back one after another, and they couldn't see clearly when it was dark, and they looked carefully, but they all said that they couldn't find the bloodstains, and they could only wait until dawn tomorrow to take a closer look.

Li Rizhi also knew that now was not a good time to check, so he could only wait for tomorrow dawn, but suddenly, he turned around and went back to the house, and looked at the lid of the box, and saw that there were several stick marks on the lid of the box, like the marks left by the stick hitting it, almost breaking the plank of the box!

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "I'm afraid this is the enemy's doing!" ”
