If a hanged person suspects murder, it is best to untie the rope and put down the body, and it is best to cut it from the middle, rather than untie the knot around the neck, because the murderer's method and method of tying the neck are often important clues to solve the case, and they are also important evidence to prove the crime in the future when compared with the confession.

If you need to rescue, you should also avoid cutting the rope on the neck at the knot, and for the rope part on the beam, if you can not move, it is best not to move, because when the murderer ties the rope on the beam, it may leave a lot of valuable clues.

After Meng Tianchu put the body on the ground, he found that the rope noose that bound his neck was a slipknot, and he hurriedly loosened it with his hand, if Mrs. Qin was still alive, she didn't need to cut the noose and it wouldn't affect her breathing.

Meng Tianchu first probed Mrs. Qin's snort, put his ear on Mrs. Qin's chest and listened, and then stretched out two fingers to press Mrs. Qin's jugular vein, her heart sank, Mrs. Qin had no breathing, no heartbeat and no pulse, and it was estimated that there was more than luck. casually handed the small scissors to Xia Fengyi, and smiled coldly: "Lady, put the scissors away, maybe you can use them in the future." Hum! ”

Xia Fengyi took the scissors, her lips moved, and she wanted to explain something, but this was not the time to say this, so she turned around and retreated.

Meng Tianchu saw a light outside the door, and said to Qin Yiyun: "Don't move the corpse, I'll go get the lamp and check it carefully." After that, when he went out, he saw the abbot Xuanyin carrying a small lantern in his hand, so he asked for it, and asked Xuanyin to light a few more lamps, and then carried the lantern into the toilet.

Coming to the corpse, gently opening the corpse's eyes with one hand, and holding the small lantern above the corpse's head and face with the other hand to move left and right, Mrs. Qin's pupils have no reaction to the light, and after squeezing the pupils with her fingers, they cannot recover, indicating that the central nervous system function has stopped. Grabbed her hand and pressed her fingers tightly, and there was no bruising and bruising on the fingertips, indicating that the blood circulation had also stopped.

Meng Tianchu shook his head and whispered to Qin Yiyun, "Lady Zun is dead. ”

Qin Yiyun suddenly crawled on the corpse and cried bitterly.

Meng Tianchu said: "Brother Qin, don't be sad first, the top priority is to find out how Mrs. Zun died, whether she hanged herself or was murdered." If it is murdered, then it is necessary to report to the official to arrest the real murderer and avenge Mrs. Zun! ”

Qin Yiyun's body trembled, and he nodded: "What Meng Gongzi said is extremely true, now...... What now? ”

"It's late at night, the mountain road is difficult, I'm afraid I can only wait for dawn to report to the official, but if it drags on until dawn, if Mrs. Zun dies in homicide, I'm afraid the criminal will take the opportunity to escape, forgive me for being blunt, I have studied the case in the next, maybe it can help, if Brother Qin can be trusted, I am willing to work hard to find out the cause of Mrs. Zun's death, if it is a homicide, immediately solve the case and arrest the murderer, and at the same time send someone down the mountain to report to the official. What do you think? ”

Qin Yiyun once wrote a letter recommending Meng Tianchu to be the master of the criminal name, so it is estimated that he should have some research on the criminal name matter of solving the case, and nodded at the moment: "Okay, then please ask Meng Gongzi." ”

Meng Tianchu asked Qin Yiyun to hold the lantern, and he first conducted a general appearance inspection of Madam Qin's corpse.

The valuable pearl necklace around Mrs. Qin's neck was gone, Meng Tianchu called the maid Jiwen in and asked her if the necklace had been taken off when Mrs. Qin was sleeping, and Jiwen said that Mrs. Qin's necklace never left her body, and she didn't even take off the bath and sleep.

Meng Tianchu remembered that when he was in the fasting room, Mrs. Qin herself had said this. It seems that there is a suspicion of killing people for money.

Except for the neck rope scars, there were no obvious signs of trauma on the head and body. It was not convenient to conduct a detailed examination of the corpse in the toilet, so after consulting with Abbot Xuanyin, it was decided to carry the corpse to a side room on the side of the Daxiong Hall for examination.

Mrs. Qin did not reveal her intention to commit suicide in advance, and there was nothing enough to make him commit suicide, if she really wanted to commit suicide, she would generally choose to hang herself in the bedroom instead of in the toilet. Therefore, the possibility of hanging himself is very small, and accidents are impossible, so the possibility of his killing is very high. Of course, in the end, a forensic examination is required to determine it. Therefore, Meng Tianchu decided to conduct a site investigation first to see if there were any suspicious traces.

Meng Tianchu took the small lantern and carefully investigated the situation in the toilet.

The incense in this ancient temple was relatively vigorous, so this latrine was built relatively large, divided into men and women. The brick and wood structure has a green tile roof, and there are several squatting positions in the toilet, separated by waist-length low walls.

Because the ancient temple was haunted later, the monks ran almost away, only the old and the young two monks remained, except for the occasional passer-by, there were no pilgrims, however, the two monks still cleaned frequently, so the toilet was still very clean, there were no cobwebs or dust. Of course, no footprints were found on the ground.

There were no footprints or anything like footprints on the low walls between the squatting positions.

Meng Tianchu was very disappointed, and it was also a pity that when he crossed over, he only brought a forensic physical evidence investigation box, if he had known about this, he would have brought a footprint electrostatic extractor, maybe he would have been able to find footprints, so as to find out the murderer.

The floor and the low walls were carefully inspected, and nothing was found, only the beams remained.

The beam that tied the corpse was the lowest one, and when Meng Tianchu stepped on the low wall, his head was just parallel to the beam, and he could see the situation on the beam.

Holding the lantern and shining it, his heart sank suddenly, and the beam that bound the rope was also clean, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it and looked under the lantern, and there was not even a little dust. The same is true when I shine on the other beams.

Meng Tianchu called the two monks Xuanyin and Xusong in and asked them, only to know that the two monks had nothing to do except chanting, so they cleaned every day, cleaned every five days, and thoroughly cleaned the ancient temple every five days, including the toilet, in addition to the roof tiles not being swept, the beams of the house should also be cleaned spotlessly.

Isn't this full and has nothing to do, what are you going to clean the beams? Well, now, there is no trace left.

Meng Tianchu still didn't give up, so he asked Lao He Tou to bring his forensic physical evidence investigation box, took out the magnetic fingerprint brush, and carefully brushed it on the beam, but not a single fingerprint was brushed out!

Theoretically speaking, where the finger is pressed, there will be fingerprints, but due to factors such as the characteristics of the object and the detection method, not all fingerprints can be detected where fingerprints are left.

Meng Tianchu then inspected the beam, and found no traces of friction on the rope, and the knot on the beam was an ordinary dead knot, with no clue significance.

Meng Tianchu was very frustrated, the scene investigation was over, nothing was found, it was over.
