Du Wenhao carefully inspected the doors and windows again, and found that there were no signs of pry and damage on the doors and windows.

This is strange, Du Wenhao touched his chin and groaned, this house has three doors from the courtyard gate to the upstairs, if it is a robber who enters the house and robs money, it is unlikely that he will not even destroy a door or window until he reaches the second floor. The ancients were very concerned about the safety of their homes, and it was unlikely that strangers would break into the courtyard and go straight to the bedroom on the second floor to commit murder.

That is, it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime!

He checked the living room in the middle of the other side, and found no abnormality, on the other side was the study, but there was not a single book, and an incense table was placed in the center, and Amitabha Buddha was enshrined in the Buddha shrine, and there were three incense sticks in the incense burner that burned to the end. The fruits and melons that were placed on the table for the offering had rotted. But no fish was found.

At this time, County Lieutenant Sun came up with scissors, and Du Wenhao said: "I'll do the autopsy, you find a piece of paper to help me record the autopsy, and when it comes, just fill in the corpse grid according to it." ”

County Lieutenant Sun hurriedly went to find a pen and paper, took a stool, and squatted in the corridor to prepare for the record.

Du Wenhao first described the location of the corpse, its posture and the clothing of the body, and then swept away the maggots on the corpse with a broom, ignoring the flies buzzing in the air, squatted aside and began to cut the dress and pants with scissors, completely exposing the corpse, most of the subcutaneous and musculature had liquefied and disappeared, and the skin of the head, face, chest and abdomen was close to the bones.

He used scissors to cut open the skin of his chest and abdomen, which had been broken, and found that his lungs had collapsed, his heart muscle was soft and thin, and his abdominal distension had disappeared. The abdominal viscera are mostly liquefied. Missing rectal smooth muscle fibers and liver reticular fibrous tissue were found in the pelvic area, and the ** mutilated uterus was also found. From this, it is undoubtedly a woman.

Du Wenhao measured the length of the corpse with a ruler. A little search of the corpse's surface revealed no signs of trauma on the relatively intact surface of the skin. There were also no black traces of blood on the ground, indicating that if this was the first scene, the deceased should not have died of open trauma.

He focused his examination on the neck, which was the focus of suffocation, even though the surface of the skin was no longer recognizable for strangulation marks caused by external forces due to the height.

But he didn't give up, the situation at the scene was not like an accidental death such as sudden death, it should have been a homicide, and evidence of his murder must be found.

He used scissors to carefully cut open the skin on the corpse's neck, separating the liquefied musculature inside.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and in the area of his throat and trachea, he found a silk scarf!

Could it be that the deceased was stuffed with a silk scarf into his mouth and suffocated to death?

Du Wenhao turned around and began to carefully examine his mouth.

When he cut open his mouth with scissors, he found that most of the oral tissue had liquefied, and it was impossible to see if there were any scratches. However, he did not find nothing, he noticed that the upper two front teeth of his mouth were visibly loose!

This loosening is not the kind after the muscle tissue is liquefied, it is obviously caused by the collision of external forces. This proves that when the murderer stuffed the silk scarf into the deceased's mouth, he also poked it with his fingers or sticks, causing the front teeth to be knocked loose.

The silk scarf is the most important physical evidence to expose the crime, and Du Wenhao decided to take it out in its entirety.

He first asked Lieutenant Sun to find some silk paper, wipe the rotten soft tissues around the trachea, and then carefully cut the trachea with scissors to completely expose the silk scarf.

He was not in a hurry to take out the silk scarf and lay on the ground to observe it carefully. The flies buzzed around him, but he didn't seem to notice their presence.

The silk scarf has a slight reddish tinge, which is not a contamination of the liquefied tissue since the liquefied muscle tissue and tracheal tissue are greenish-black. Du Wenhao thought of the two loose front teeth in the corpse's mouth, the two were strung together, and speculated that the pale red color on the silk should be the blood stains on the mouth when it was bruised!

Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a few red circles on the surface of the silk, and his heart suddenly moved, could it be fingerprints? If the teeth in the mouth are loose, then there will be bleeding in the mouth, and if the murderer presses the silk with his fingers, he will leave a bloody fingerprint on the silk!

His heart was beating wildly, there was no concept of fingerprint criminal investigation in ancient times, and the murderer did not have the anti-reconnaissance experience of wearing gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, and it was relatively easy to extract fingerprints. Fingerprints are one of the most favorable evidence to prove a crime, although this kind of evidence can not be used as evidence to prove a crime in court, but in ancient times, it was possible to legally extort confessions by torture, as long as fingerprints locked the criminals, they could use torture to extract confessions that meet the requirements of ancient evidence to solve the case, and at the same time would not wronged good people.

Du Wenhao wiped the tissue fluid around the silk scarf with silk paper to ensure that it did not contaminate the silk scarf, and then slowly pulled out the silk scarf.

It was a blood fingerprint, the texture was relatively clean, and it was relatively complete, so it should be used as a comparison.

At this time, Huang Zhizhou finally arrived with his presence.

I heard that there was a murder case, Huang Zhizhou's head is big, the murder case is not a joke, once it cannot be solved in time, it will definitely affect the political performance, especially if the criminal officer is here, if he intends to make things difficult, I am afraid that his career will end here. I was so anxious that my head was sweating.

When they arrived, Du Wenhao had already completed the scene investigation, which made Huang Zhizhou even more frightened. The autopsy is such a despicable thing that is done by a puppet, and he can't imagine that the dignified criminal officer will conduct the autopsy himself, in Huang Zhizhou's opinion, it seems to be a mockery of his own ineffective work, and the sweat on his back is coming out. Repeatedly bowed down and made amends.

Du Wenhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, nor did he bother to explain, so after asking him to fill in the corpse grid, he instructed County Lieutenant Sun to call Aunt Tan's neighbor and Lizheng on this street to identify the corpse.

These neighbors pinched their noses one by one and didn't dare to step forward, far away. The corpse was already unrecognizable, and there was no need to look closer, Du Wenhao took the cut dress to the corridor outside for them to identify. All the neighbors were almost unanimous in affirming that this was the dress that Aunt Tan often wore. Measuring the height of the corpse, it is also about the same height as the neighbors said Aunt Tan. It was preliminarily determined that the female corpse was Aunt Tan.

Outside the door, Mrs. Han heard that a corpse had been found inside, and she howled and cried again, and when she was sure that it was a female corpse and that it was Aunt Tan, the owner of the house, she burst into tears and laughed, rejoicing for her husband. However, her husband's whereabouts are still unknown, and she can't help but feel anxious.

When Du Wenhao went out to the courtyard, Hong Zhutou reported that he had sent someone to search the entire mansion and found nothing suspicious, except for the bedroom of the main mansion that was looted, no traces of looting were found in the rest of the residence. This made Du Wenhao even more puzzled.

He called Li Zheng and his neighbors to the courtyard, and after inquiring, he learned that this Aunt Tan was widowed in her early years, had no children, and had no other relatives in Hengzhou, so she lived by renting out part of the house to collect rent. I rarely interact with people on weekdays.

However, when asked who the people who rented Aunt Tan recently, the neighbors couldn't say, because the tenants who rented from her often changed, including men, women and children, most of them were temporary customers who worked for short-term jobs, and no one remembered it. In particular, Aunt Tan is a very poor person, bitter and greedy, she never pays back the things she borrows from her neighbors, plus she believes in Buddhism and eats fasting and is very pious, and her mouth is mean, and when she sees her neighbors eating meat, she says that the neighbors are killing indiscriminately and will go to hell after death in the future, so the relationship with her neighbors is very stiff. Everyone didn't want to go to her, and they didn't want to care about her business. So I don't pay attention to who her tenants are.

Du Wenhao suspected that the case was committed by an acquaintance, and it was very likely that it was the tenant, but the neighbors couldn't tell which tenants there were, so he asked the catchers to carefully search the ledger to see if there was a book with tenant information.

After some searching, nothing was found, and when I asked the neighbors, I found out that this Aunt Tan didn't know how to read at all. But she remembers it very well, she can't remember what she owes others, and what others owe her, even if it's only a penny, she remembers it clearly, and she chases after it all day long. So you don't need to keep track of your guests.

Du Wenhao did not give up and decided to search again in person to see if there were any clues about the tenant.

He searched from the east room to the west room, and sure enough, there were no useful clues left, and the rooms were very neat, as if no one was occupying them.

When he searched the kitchen, he stopped.

He noticed a lot of flies buzzing around in an open patio behind the kitchen!

He asked the following Hong Zhutou and others not to move, and stood quietly to observe, and found that these flies mainly gathered near the drainage ditch, and a small number of them were lying on the wall!

After observing clearly, Du Wenhao first came to the ditch and searched carefully, the ditch was very clean, and nothing suspicious could be found. However, he noticed that most of the flies were concentrated at the strainer at the drain.

After blasting away the flies, he took out the entire filter and slowly cleaned up the garbage from it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and in the garbage, he found a lot of white scraps with pale red marks attached to them!

He picked out all the scraps, looked closely, and found them to be bone-like scraps!

He placed the scraps on the ground and stepped away.

Flies buzzing in the air landed on the debris one after another! From this, it can be determined that the pale red marks on it are probably blood!

His gaze fell on the place where the flies had gathered on the wall, and when he blasted the flies away, he found that the black liquid dotted on it was very similar to the liquefied tissue of the corpse upstairs earlier.

Could it be that these dots on this wall are human blood or muscle fragments?

He asked Hong Zhutou to go outside and borrow a hoe and dig up the sewer where he had just found what was suspected to be the end of the bone.

Airplanes!

A large swarm of flies flew out of the already dry sewer. Digging all the way, in the sewers, especially in the bending turn, several bone fragments the size of chopsticks were found in succession!

He placed the bone fragments he had collected in the clearing, and the flies landed on them one after another, making sure that there was blood on them as well.

He looked closely one by one, and found that the sections of these fragments were either neat or crude. After a little groaning, it will be clear. Huang Zhizhou, Sun Xianwei and Hong Zhutou were called, but the white bone fragments in their hands were shown to them: "These fragments are very similar to the bone fragments left after chopping or sawing, according to the neighbors' proof, Aunt Tan is very devout in eating and believing in Buddhism, and there is also a Buddhist hall found upstairs, so it is impossible for animal bones to appear in her home." Therefore, the official suspects that these are human bones! ”

The three of them were stunned, Hong Zhutou often engages in criminal cases, and he is more knowledgeable in this regard, he also knows about Du Wenhao's autopsy just now, and asked: "Master, Aunt Tan upstairs really wants to have no external injuries." ”

"Exactly, so the broken bones that appear here should not be Aunt Tan's, but another person's, and it cannot be ruled out that it is the missing shopkeeper Han." Du Wenhao walked to the wall and pointed to a few black and gray marks on the wall, "These marks are very similar to old blood marks, and from the appearance, they also conform to the characteristics of splash marks formed by knives and axes." Therefore, the official suspects that the murderer has been dismembered here. The body parts are then smuggled out and discarded or buried. ”

Huang Zhizhou's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he reluctantly smiled: "This ......, this murderer is so vicious!" ”

"Yes," Du Wenhao said: "These are all just speculations at present, Lord Zhizhou is right, the bones must be found in order to determine whether anyone was killed, and who the victim was, the top priority is to find these broken corpse parts!" - Lieutenant Sun, you lead a group of people to search the river, the lake, and any other place where the bones may be abandoned or buried, looking for traces of abnormal soil turning in hidden places, etc., and strive to find the corpse parts. Hong Zhutou, you lead a part of the arrest to inquire and investigate the tenants who rent Aunt Tan's house. Let's do it! ”

The two of them bowed down and clenched their fists to receive their orders, turned around and hurried away.

Huang Zhizhou said with a smile: "...... lowly job, what do you do with low duty?" ”

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "Lord Zhizhou is only afraid that he is not good at this, so you can sit in the yamen, wait for the news, and report the murder in time." ”

"Yes, yes." Huang Zhizhou wiped a handful of cold sweat, bowed down and said: "My lord, I neglected my duties and neglected to take precautions, and it was really a dereliction of duty to have such a major case of murder and dismemberment......

Du Wenhao said: "Lord Zhizhou doesn't have to feel guilty, there have been robbers who kill people and rob money since ancient times, and they can be avoided without prevention, let's try our best to solve this case and arrest the murderer." ”

Huang Zhizhou was afraid that Du Wenhao would put up an official shelf on the line, and when he heard him say such fair words, he was really grateful: "Thank you, my lord!" ”

Du Wenhao said: "Since such a big case has happened, and the official has already intervened, he can't just leave, I'm afraid he will have to live for some time." So let's skip the dinner in the evening, and talk about it after this case is solved. ”

"Yes, yes," Huang Zhizhou thought for a while, and arched his hand: "Then the adults and their party will still stay at the Hengzhou Inn, okay?" ”

When Du Wenhao and the others first arrived in Hengzhou for medical training, they lived in the Hengzhou Inn, and nodded at the moment: "Okay, let's go back and rest first, and come to inform the official immediately if there is news!" ”

Huang Zhizhou hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Du Wenhao and his entourage came to the Hengzhou Inn, the innkeeper was already very familiar with Du Wenhao, and when he saw the old man of the criminal officer coming back, he was busy arranging the best room.

They didn't pay attention, and after the two people squatting across the road saw Du Wenhao and them, they immediately showed joy on their faces, muttered a few words, and ran away alone. The other stayed behind and continued to stare nervously at the inn door.

After a while, a large group of people with swords swarmed over, all of them were the thugs and turtles of Mei'er Wanchunyuan, surrounding the Hengshan Inn.

The first person is Mei'er. I saw her willow eyebrows upside down, and scolded sharply: "Go in!" Dig out that Tulang for me! ”

It was still the pig-headed maid who took the lead and led the people to rush in.

When shouting below, Du Wenhao pushed the window to see clearly, and sneered at Lin Qingdai and Li Pu and other guards: "Don't hurt them, make a little fun, and wait for Huang Zhizhou to come!" ”

Immediately, Li Pu and the others fought with Wan Chunyuan's bodyguards who rushed up.

The shopkeeper did not know what was happening, and shouted in horror to dissuade him, but neither side listened.

The pig-headed maidservant proudly pointed to Du Wenhao upstairs and shouted, "You are dead!" Lord Zhizhou said, if you are caught, you will be handed over to our girl to deal with, now it will be up to you to die! ”

At this moment, Huang Zhizhou, who received Mei'er's report, came with his entourage in a sedan chair, and he heard that Mei'er sent people to squat to find the Tulang who bullied her in the Hengzhou Inn, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

He hurried to the gate of the inn in a sedan chair with Sooli, Minzhuang and the rest of the catchers, opened the sedan curtain, and saw that in the courtyard, the thugs of Wanchunyuan and the entourage of the criminal officer were fighting, while Du Wenhao was standing by the window facing the street in the upper room on the second floor, looking at him coldly with his hands on his shoulders.

Those soap subordinates and catchers had already recognized that the person on the second floor was the criminal officer, and knew that Mei'er was in trouble this time, so they quickly inserted the knife back, and hid behind with their necks bent.

Huang Zhizhou was even more frightened, staggered out of the sedan chair, waved his hands, but his throat was dry under anxiety and nervousness, and he couldn't say half a word.

Mei'er saw Huang Zhizhou coming, but she didn't find anything unusual, so she greeted her and said happily: "Master, we found that Tulangzhong, look, he is standing in the upper room on the second floor, look at him like that, isn't he arrogant?" Their men resisted arrest and wounded a lot of me. Master, tell the catchers to arrest people! ”

Huang Zhizhou's fingers trembled, his white beard trembled, and he pointed at Mei'er: "You! You......! ”

"What's wrong with you, sir? Arrest someone! ”

"Me! I'll catch your grandson! Huang Zhizhou slapped her hard, knocking Mei'er around on the spot, standing unsteadily, banging, falling to the ground with her feet facing the sky, two molars fell out, and her mouth was full of blood.

"Stop! Stop it! Huang Zhizhou shouted hysterically, and those soap subordinates, catchers, and people rushed forward and shouted at those Wanchunyuan's thugs: "Master Zhizhou has an order, stop!" Stop the fuck! ”

Everyone in the audience heard it at this moment, and hurriedly stopped and retreated.

Li Pu and the others did not pursue, and retreated with a sneer.

Huang Zhizhou staggered forward, knelt on the ground with a grunt, and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Raise the punishment of the lord, the ...... of the lowly position, the ...... of the lowly position" He said two lowly duties in a row, his throat was so dry that he was about to burst into flames, and he couldn't continue.
