Chapter 171: How Cruel
Chengtang Village, a small village famous for begonias, has now attracted a lot of attention because of this shocking tragedy.
"Interesting." Shui Jiao heard this and commented.
"It's more interesting later." The dragon gestured to their bags.
Inside is the latest work of the painter Su Ruhua - the appearance of Yi Jue and the others more than ten years later, which is what they are now.
"Yes, that's what we're down to. Speaking of which, today's breakfast is good, should we go and eat it again at noon? The Su family's xiaolongbao has a thin skin and a big filling, and the steamed dumplings are ...... "Shui Jiao began to chatter again."
---------------------
Bai Qiuchi followed Su Can to check the situation at the scene, although there was a psychological pre-construction, but when he really looked carefully, he still felt that the family was too miserable.
"How did you confirm their identity?" Bai Qiuchi asked.
"Because it was a major case, we couldn't let outsiders in at will, so we drew a rough picture of the corpse and showed it to the village chief."
"Bai Shaoxia, please come with me." Su Can explained, "According to the time of the judgment and the traces of the scene, we can probably restore the order of the crime, and we will go to the first murder scene first." ”
"Okay."
---------------------
As a result, as soon as I left, I went to the deepest room.
"The poultry and livestock in the backyard were all killed, but this was the last thing to be killed." Su Can pointed to the backyard road.
Chickens and dogs are not left, how cruel!
Before the two of them could enter the last room, their attention was drawn to the blood-stained door.
"The identity of the deceased is the third son of the family, and he should have wanted to escape from the door, but he was directly slashed to death by a big knife several times, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle." Su Can explained, "His wife escaped from the door and wanted to run to the backyard, but she also fell in a pool of blood in an instant, and the wound on her back was not fatal, she lost too much blood and died of despair in the cold." ”
Bai Qiuchi frowned, squatted down, observed the wounds of the two deceased, stood up again, looked around, and nodded to indicate that he was already optimistic.
"There are two corpses here, but there are four people's blood-marked footprints." White Autumn Pond Road.
"That's right. According to the footprints...... What are your opinions? Su Can knew it in his heart, but he wanted to hear what Bai Qiuchi had to say, so he didn't finish his words.
"Except for the two victims, one of them was supposed to be the murderer who was very close to their footprints, and the other person was supposed to be watching from the sidelines, trying to rush over but slipping and falling, and then being dragged away. It is estimated that the people in the family witnessed the murder process, and they wanted to stop it but had no choice. ”
Su Can nodded and said, "I think so too." ”
Thus there are two doubts: first, who this man is; Second, why didn't the murderer kill him immediately, but still take him away. ”
"Regarding these two points, let's see if there is a breakthrough." Su Can didn't answer Bai Qiuchi directly, but pointed to the footprints on the ground, "Bai Shaoxia, look, according to the footprints of this murderer, it should be a middle-aged man in his thirties, it can be seen that he walks very calmly, and his legs are not disabled, and judging by his stride, this person should be three feet eight tall and weigh about seventy-five kilograms." ”
---------------------
"Master Su, how are these judged?" Bai Qiuchi felt that he could learn something again.
"Footprints are the traces left by criminals in the process of committing crimes. According to the footprints, it is possible to analyze the gender, age, height, walking posture and other aspects of the criminal, mainly relying on the accumulation of experience, and I will tell you about it slowly later. "To put it simply, under normal circumstances, the ratio of adults to footprints is seven to one, but children to the elderly will not be seven to one. So the height is about the length of the footprint multiplied by about seven. ”
"I see."
"Because of the recent wet weather, the dirt in the backyard has left some traces, coupled with the bloody footprints in the house, you can roughly judge the murderer's situation."
"For example, juvenile offenders have short steps, thin footprints, the distance between footprints is often irregular, and the walking route is often crooked; Young offenders tend to have large footprints, large steps, and the distance between the footprints is even, and they walk in a straight line; Middle-aged criminals walk steadily and slowly, and the distance between footprints becomes shorter; Older offenders have shorter strides, and the pressure on the heel in the footsteps is heavier than on the balls of the feet. ”
"Another example is that the steps are chaotic and the distance between the footprints is uneven, indicating that the offender may be exhausted or injured; If the heel of the footprint is deep and the forefoot is shallow, it means that the person walking has a chest and abdomen, a straight body, and so on. Su Can explained, "Later, you can judge by looking at other people's footprints." ”
"I see, teachable." Bai Qiuchi listened carefully and wrote them down one by one.
"The footsteps can also tell the time. For example, if it rains at midnight and there are many pockmarks on the footprints, it means that they were left before the rain. The pockmarks are few and shallow, indicating that they were left when the rain was almost over; The footprints were smooth and free of pockmarks, which were undoubtedly left after the rain. ”
"If it's a summer or autumn night, the footprints left in the first half of the night often have traces of insects crawling on them; The footprints left in the second half of the night are often not very clear due to the damp ground and the crumbling soil. ”
"So here it can be judged that the murderer came in the snow, it started snowing not long after he left, and he did not shy away from leaving traces, there were many clues left in the house, but unfortunately the traces outside were destroyed, there were too many footprints, and it was impossible to judge the route of his escape."
Bai Qiuchi nodded in understanding.
---------------------
The two continued to walk out and came to another room, where they observed the situation and communicated with the servant to roughly restore the situation at that time.
The eldest son of the Zhang family was firmly nailed to the wall by an iron cone, and his eyes were wide open. His son, who was probably only a teenager, was hanged to death.
The murderer should have nailed the eldest son to the wall first, and then hung the child who was powerless to struggle, so that he watched the child die, he was in great pain, but he could not break free to save the child. Then the murderer nailed him to the heart with the last iron cone, but he didn't use too much force, causing him to die a little bit of pain.
The wife, who watched her husband and son die tragically, did not know what she would face, and tried to bite her tongue and kill herself, but failed, and she finally had to give up the struggle and close her eyes.
Her obedience seemed to infuriate the murderer even more, and the murderer took out a dagger and grabbed her by the hair, stabbed her a dozen times, and then dropped it at will.
Bai Qiuchi and the others paid special attention to the person who was dragged over by the murderer, it seems that this person was not one of the three victims, he was thrown aside on the ground, and once again witnessed the tragedy.
The man was also splattered with a lot of blood, and struggled to be dragged along.
---------------------
They came to the hall, where the second son's family was buried.
Presumably, the murderer was already in a more agitated mood, he hung a pair of twin children about four or five years old upside down on the beam, gave the dagger to his wife, and asked her to kill her husband, if she did not kill her husband, she would kill the child.
I don't know how the wife pleaded hard at that time, but the tough murderer had no mercy and slipped directly through the child's hand, it should be that she couldn't bear the child's painful cry, the wife raised a dagger to her husband, and the husband willingly closed his eyes.
The weak wife raised the knife and tried to rush over to resist the murderer, but was kicked to the ground by the murderer, and her teeth were also kicked out and fell to the ground with blood.
The resistance was fruitless, the murderer cut one of the ropes, the twin brother fell down, crying in pain, the murderer lifted him up and smashed him against the corner of the wall, the force was very strong, the child should have been killed directly before he could scream.
The husband and wife struggled to hold the killer and prevent him from continuing to hurt the child, but they were kicked away. The people who had been dragged over finally climbed to this side, but they were also kicked away.
The murderer kicked and beat her husband and vented the anger in her heart. The wife tried to pick up the dagger that had fallen to the side and resisted again, but was discovered by the murderer. He directly picked up the dagger and cut his wife's face, who covered her face in pain and was kicked far away.
The killer turned to deal with the twin sister and gave her a knife in the child's frightened gaze......
The three people who fell to the ground must have been in great pain, and the murderer must have felt that the torture was almost over, so he approached them with a cruel smile and got to know the poor couple directly with a dagger.
---------------------
"The person who was dragged has made it very clear that it is the end of this family." Su Can sighed and said, "The village chief and I learned that the Zhang family is a big family in the village, and it is said that they only moved here more than twenty years ago. They look like big families, but they are low-key and can be judged in the village. ”
"Why they moved here, you can investigate." Bai Qiuchi hit the nail on the head.
"Today, the officials will collect and sort out all the evidence, and I have already sent people to the village to investigate, and the investigation of other situations has already begun."
"Master Su is really efficient, and I have learned and been taught by you."
"Bai Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, you can ask me anything." Su Can nodded and pointed outside the courtyard.
---------------------
The two walked out of the courtyard, and the family member was lying on the ground with hideous faces.
His death was the worst, he was executed by Ling Chi, his blood stained the courtyard red, and he was frozen in ice and snow.
"Leave him to the end, maybe the murderer wants him to experience watching the whole family be wiped out, so that his spirit will be tortured to the extreme, and then cut off one by one, so that his body will be tortured again. If it's not a blood feud, it's that this murderer has gone mad. Su Can sighed and said.
"It seems that vendetta is more likely." White Autumn Pond Road.
"Lord Su!" Ah Rong, the official of the government, hurriedly ran over and said, "There is a discovery here!" ”
"What's going on?"
"Well...... Have a baby! Ah Rong said sadly.
"Let's take a look."
Su Can immediately strode forward, followed by Bai Qiuchi.
---------------------
The baby was completely frozen, and its little limbs were curled up, very pitiful.
The swaddling clothes that wrapped him and the clothes on his body should have been ripped off by the murderer and thrown into the well first, and then the crying baby was thrown directly into the cold well water, and then Zhang Mo was finally dealt with.
"Master Su, the results are out." He came forward to report, "A special * made in the Western Regions has been detected in everyone's body, which is not circulated on the market, and this kind of * is conscious but weak all over the body after eating. ”
"It's hard work, you go down." Su Can nodded.
---------------------
The author has something to say: In the middle of the night, if it's too bloody, I won't write it specifically, let's write a rough one. The characteristics of the murderer were judged by footsteps, referring to Baidu's data.
Is there anybody? Raise your hands, no one's words are new!
