"What's wrong?" Lu Fatzi came up with a fart, followed Qin Lin's gaze, searched among the stumps and broken arms with his small eyes open, and soon found the problem ().

slapped his thigh, and the fat man shouted at Qi Saihua: "Miss Qi, Ling Zun has not only offended people, it is simply a blood feud with people, where is this robbery dart, it is obviously a random knife to divide the corpse!" ”

Qi Saihua came over when she heard this, Xi Dongsheng also struggled to follow behind, Qi Saihua had a straight face, and didn't pay much attention to him, Xi Dongsheng only thought that her parents were grief-stricken overnight, and didn't think much about it ().

Lu Yuanzhi pointed to a corpse's broken arm: "Look at him here, if his arm was cut off during the killing before his death, the skin and flesh should be rolled and the blood soaked through the sleeve, but the skin and flesh of the wound are not rolled, and the bleeding is very small, which means that the arm was cut off after death." ”

But no, there is a bloody hole in the chest of this dart master, where the skin and flesh are rolled up, and the dirty blood is soaked through the cotton jacket, which is diametrically opposed to the broken arm, which proves that he was stabbed by a sharp weapon before his death, and died on the spot.

This dart master is an elder Qi Saihua, and her eyes are red when she sees this tragic situation, but fortunately, she is strong by nature and knows that now is not the time to cry bitterly, the most important thing is to cooperate with the Jinyi Official School to find out the truth of the case.

"Second Uncle Feng's stele opener is fifty or sixty percent hot, but I didn't expect to be killed by someone with a sword through the heart, a vicious thief, killing people will kill people, obviously Second Uncle Feng is dead, and he cut off his arm!" Qi Saihua gritted her teeth and said it almost word by word.

If his arm was cut off first, and he was pierced through the heart with a sword when he lost his ability to resist, it was reasonable, but it was clear that Second Uncle Feng had died through his heart, why did he have to cut off his arm? This kind of behavior. It seems that it can only be explained by madness.

Niu Dali and the lieutenant brothers also whispered: "I have to make up a few knives if I die, tsk, who did it?" That's a great job! ”

Xi Dongsheng saw that Qin Lin was thinking about something with his head down, while Lu Yuanzhi's eyebrows fluttered as if he had made a breakthrough, so he held back the pain and arched his hand at him: "Lu, Chief Lu." More than 100 of our darts died miserably. Now I can only ask your yamen to uphold justice, you, what do you think of this case? ”

"This official has concluded that this is not an ordinary roadblock dart, and it is even possible that the red dart is just a coincidence," Lu Yuanzhi straightened his chest proudly and said categorically: "According to all kinds of signs. This is a bloody and cruel vendetta, the murderer took advantage of the opportunity of the Dongchang Dart Bureau to protect the red dart and disperse the power in two places, first ambushed the masters in the bureau in the middle of the road, and then raided Jinan Mansion overnight, killing the Dongchang Dart Bureau completely! The split limbs of the dead body are proof of this, for the murderer, just killing the Dongchang Dart Bureau is still not angry, and he has to destroy the corpse to vent his hatred! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, could it really be as Lu Yuanzhi said. This case is not an ordinary robbery, but a vendetta in the rivers and lakes?

The female soldier pointed at the corner of Lu Yuanzhi's forehead: "Look at what you can, Chief Qin didn't speak, what can you do?" ”

All of them set their eyes on Qin Lin. Lu Yuanzhi can indeed often play an unexpected role in the deduction of the case, but he makes no fewer mistakes than Meng Zheng, and it depends on Chief Qin to make the final decision.

Lu Yuanzhi scratched his head and asked with a smile, "Brother Qin, is my brother right this time?" ”

"Congratulations!" Qin Lin also stood up straight with a smile, and suddenly smiled: "Wrong answer!" ”

I'm down! Lu Fatzi was originally puffing up his chest and posing in a posture waiting for praise, but when he heard this, he stumbled, and his fat face wrinkled and complained: "Brother Qin." I remember you once said, 'Hurting beyond the limit means panic or hatred and losing control of your emotions.' The enemy here had almost every corpse dismantled to pieces, and it seemed that there was no panic. So why are they not because of hatred? ”

Qin Lin smiled faintly: "Maybe they want to hide something." Fat man, think about it carefully, if it is a vendetta and the corpse is mutilated in order to vent hatred, then who is the target of the murderer's hatred and the person who caused the murder? ”

"Of course, it's Qi Xiangyun, the owner of the East Factory Dart Bureau!" The fat man replied without thinking.

As soon as the words fell, he refused to come to the corpse, and Zhang Zixuan, who was standing next to Qingdai and Xu Xinyi, sighed: "I see." ”

What turned out to be? Xu Xinyi asked with his apricot eyes open.

Zhang Zixuan smiled slightly: "Wait for Brother Qin to solve the mystery." ”

Cut, if you don't say it, don't say it, and sell it! Xu Xinyi pursed her lips, but soon her apricot eyes widened, and she also figured out the meaning of Qin Lin's words.

If vendetta is used as the premise of the inference of the case, is it possible that the murderer took revenge on the lives of more than 100 people in the entire dart board because he hated a certain dart master, groom, buddy or cook lady in the Dongchang dart game? That's a big joke ().

In the last possible case, the hatred was directed at Qi Xiangyun, the owner of the Dongchang Dart Bureau, so he killed him all over the house; It is not excluded that it was directed at the entire Dongchang Dart Bureau from the beginning, such as a hostile Jianghu force, of course, most of this hatred will still be directed at Qi Xiangyun as the master of the game.

But what is happening now is that a large number of dart bureau personnel were also killed, the bodies of the dart masters in Wenshang County were seriously damaged, and Qi Xiangyun himself, who carried most of the hatred, was only killed by the broken throat door.

This is irreconcilably contradictory with the inference of vendettas.

Not a vendetta, but to cover up something, and what exactly is the murderer trying to cover up?

Qin Lin gave an order: "Brothers, put the corpse capital for me, and put together all the stumps and broken arms, and see if there is anything strange." ”

Master Zang and the people in Yanzhou Mansion heard this, and couldn't help but stammer, there were thirty-one corpses here, each of which was cut into several large pieces, just now they just moved to the pyre to prepare to burn the corpses, they were already disgusted, and this Qin general had to put all the corpses together, how much more trouble?

has already signed and drawn a confession, Master Zang knew that even if he was a monkey, he would not be able to escape from Qin Lin's Five Finger Mountain, so he simply sold it well, and came up with a smile: "Qin Shaobao, the little one has been taking care of the criminal name for decades, but he also has a little skill that is not enough to worry about, I saw it when I came a few days ago, and the thirty-one dead bodies here were all killed by swords and fists, and there are no signs of poisoning or infighting, you see." Now the corpses are scattered, or ......"

Qin Lin smiled: "The cause of death has never been doubted by the official, the official is thinking about something else, Mr. Zang's kindness is understood by the official, and I hope you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light from now on." Continue to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Thank you Qin Shaobao for your grace!" Master Zang knelt down as soon as his knees weakened. As a veteran of criminal names, of course he knows that the examination of the corpse is nothing more than to find out the identity of the deceased, the time of death, the cause of death, etc., the time of the case is very conclusive, and all the deceased are the dart masters and buddies of the Dongchang Dart Bureau (). The cause of death is nothing more than the killing of the robbers, and there is nothing suspicious, so why bother?

Qin Lin didn't answer, but carefully observed the shape of the severed limbs, the cross-sections of the muscles and bones, and didn't know what he was thinking.

When the prefect of Xun and Master Zang first arrived with the local soldiers, although these corpses were destroyed to the point that they were not abandoned, they were basically made into human shapes, and thirty-one corpses were quickly counted. This corresponds to the number provided by the informant.

Later, when the officials moved the corpses to the pyre and burned them, many of them were disrupted, and the blood stains were blurred, and the number of stumps was numerous. The brocade officials and schools pieced together for a while and didn't figure out their eyebrows.

"Gee, which body is this right hand on?" A lieutenant frowned, "Zhang Wushan, do you have any missing hands over there?" ”

Zhang Wushan replied: "Yes, there is, but I lack my left hand." ”

The captain sighed, and he had no intention of joking at the inappropriateness in Zhang Wushan's words.

Zhang Zixuan didn't seem to look at this side in the distance, but she always listened to the answer passed by the wind, turned her face and smiled: "The bell must be tied to the bell." Whoever moves it will let whoever fight, won't it? ”

Madame is right! The lieutenants immediately escorted the Yanzhou Mansion officials over. Let them help put together the pieces of corpses.

"I moved this arm, next to this corpse with a missing right hand." A servant took the dead man's arm and leaned next to the torso, and the lieutenants took a closer look, and sure enough, the section matched, and it was indeed the corpse's severed arm.

With the help of the officials, the corpses were quickly put together, and the thirty-one corpses were basically formed, and one by one was neatly placed on the ground.

Qin Lin smiled, his smile was extraordinarily bright: "Fat Lu, look at what's wrong with these corpses?" ”

"Oh, what's going on?" Lu Fatzi fussed and shouted: "This corpse is missing the palm of the right hand, this corpse is missing half of the head, look, this person's body is a little shorter......"

But isn't it, among the thirty-one corpses, more than a dozen of them are incomplete, and the limbs are scattered and inconspicuous, but now after Qin Lin's reminder, Lu Yuanzhi immediately discovered the problem ().

Master Zang and several old catchers in Yanzhou Mansion disagreed, and some even shook their heads, feeling that Qin was actually difficult to live up to his fame, after the dart game was attacked, these thirty-one corpses were left in the wild, and they were cut to pieces, and the missing corpses were probably lost in the cracks of the stones and not found, or maybe they were taken away by wolves and foxes, how could they be so blamed like him?

Qin Lin's smile was as mysterious as a devil, and his voice was a little hoarse because of excitement: "The corpse is incomplete, it doesn't seem to be a serious problem, after all, it is in the wild, and there are many variables." However, the officer had to pay attention to the fact that the missing parts of each corpse were different, some were missing the left hand, some were missing the right hand, some were missing an arm, and some were half-pulled shoulders, if we put these missing parts together......"

"There was one more person out of thin air!" Lu Fatzi slapped his thigh and screamed loudly.

I see! Everyone's faces have changed, and the case has changed dramatically, if the murderer uses the corpse pieces to spell out one more person, then the actual death toll will be one less!

Originally, there were thirty-one dart masters and thirty-one corpses, and there was no problem, but now there are thirty-one dart masters and men, and there are only thirty real corpses, and the other is a patchwork piece, who is missing the corpse?

"Hu Bald!" Qi Saihua looked at a corpse in horror, and her voice trembled: "He, why did he grow hair?" ”

The corpse's face was cut off and half pulled by the knife, and it was bloody, and it was impossible to see the appearance, but Qi Saihua and Xi Dongsheng both recognized this as Hu Bald from their clothes, and thanked him for his tragic sacrifice after staying and saving his kindness from escaping, and the two of them went over to worship a few times just now.

This worship is unbearable, Qi Saihua raised her head, but clearly saw that the top of Hu Bald's head was covered with blood, and it actually grew very short hair, fluffy like a hedgehog ()!

Obviously dead, how can a bald man still grow hair, could it be that the bald man has a grudge that is not gone, and the resentment of having no hair before his death is too strong, so he deliberately grew it out after death for everyone to see?

"The agency is too smart, but it's a pity that it still shows the horse's feet," Qin Lin laughed teasingly: "Because that head is not Hu Bald at all, the murderer deliberately beat the heads of several people to pieces, so he scraped together to replace one of other people's heads, plus the corpse pieces obtained from demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, and spelled out a dead Hu Bald Man." ”

So that's it! Lu Yuanzhi rushed over, carefully examined the corpse, and soon exclaimed: "Brother Qin, you are absolutely dead!" This corpse looks like there is nothing wrong with it, it can't stand up to scrutiny, and all parts are not quite right! ”

That's not it, the murderer deliberately chose the deceased who was about the same height, short, fat and thin, and took the corpse pieces to spell out a bald man, but after all, they were corpse pieces from different sources, and under the focused and serious examination, the truth was immediately exposed.

Lu Yuanzhi was nervous, and in excitement, he moved the various pieces of this "corpse" back to the real owner, so the missing thighs, calves, left and right hands, and torsos of the more than ten victims were returned to the original owners.

In the end, the huge corpse disappeared completely, leaving only the bloody head, needless to say that it was also the neck of some unlucky person.

Lu Yuanzhi was about to put it back too, but Niu Dali couldn't help but ask: "It seems that the murderer also shaved this person's head, and got rid of the bald head of a bald man who was half-pulled and pretended to be a bald man, but why is it that he has grown short hair now, so that he is recognized by Miss Qi?" ”

The dead man's long hair is a new thing, and everyone thinks it is strange when they hear it, according to the cunning of the murderer, it is not that he did not shave his hair cleanly, right? Lo and behold, he treacherously smeared his entire head with blood to disguise the difference between shaved hair and baldness, which would not have been easy to spot if it weren't for the short layer of fluffy hair.

"What is it to grow hair after death, and grow a beard!" Qin Lin laughed, not surprised at all. (To be continued)
