Nanjing City, the vice capital of the Ming Dynasty, had a murder case on the street, Ying Tianfu Yin Wang Shizhen hurriedly came in a sedan chair with eight lifts, and the officials who sounded the gong to open the way ran sweating profusely, and the sedan chair man was even more tired and panting like a cow.

Wang Shizhen is the leader of the literary world, the official position has risen and fallen since the beginning of Jiajing, Wanli was the right deputy capital of Yushi, Yunyang Governor in the second year, because of the anger of Zhang Juzheng and dismissed, and because of the flattery of Zhang Juzheng and reinstated as Ying Tianfu Yin.

After getting off the sedan chair, despite her anxiety, Wang Shizhen still paced unhurriedly and walked to the scene of the crime. He has a thin face, wears a bright red official uniform, a peacock patch on his chest, and a gold belt around his waist, which is quite majestic and solemn.

On the way here, the officials who were already fast in their legs inquired about the case and reported it to Wang Shizhen, so he did not rush to ask about the case, but first assigned the officials to interrogate the witnesses present, looking for clues to the case, and ordered the officials to examine the corpse, and to mention the land to identify the identity of the deceased.

is worthy of being the leader of the literary world and a member of the three grades of officialdom for a long time, Wang Shizhen is really more than a little stronger than Zhang Gongyu.

It seems that the Confucian officials of the Ming Dynasty are not all incompetent people like Zhang Gongyu! Qin Lin sighed with emotion, and arched his hand: "The lower official is Qin Lin, one hundred households of the Jinyi Wei Nanjing Gengzi Institute, and it is within the lower official's duty to visit and destroy the evil spirits. ”

Wang Shizhen was not familiar with this name, Zheng Sanpin Ying Tianfu Yin was much taller than the six pins of the brocade clothes hundred households, and he smiled at Qin Lin even if he had said hello.

When Xu Xinyi heard this name, he was shocked, his red mouth opened just to stuff a big rice ball, pointed at Qin Lin, and his eyes widened: "You, you, you are Qin Lin, that guy from Qizhou?" ”

Qin Lin smiled and scratched his head: "When I was in Qizhou, I had a long-term friendship with Miss, and the four sisters of A, B, C and D often mentioned Miss's prestige!" ”

"Then you were still fighting with me just now......" Xu Xinyi suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, and his apricot eyes widened: "Wow, you lied to me!" Miss Ben won't let you go! ”

Xu Xinyi is just used to being the eldest lady in the Guogong Mansion, there are a large group of maids and families waiting in the house, and when she comes out, the army is hugging her before and after, and she can walk sideways in Nanjing, she has never suffered a loss since she was a child, and she doesn't know anything about the charm and evil in the market, so she seems stupid, and often does some "stupid things" that surprise others; But she herself is very smart, as soon as Qin Lin's identity was revealed, she immediately understood that she had been deceived.

Qin Lin was also a little embarrassed, anyway, she was also a friend of Qing Dai, and it was also kind to send A, B, C, and D! He smiled and took out the ticket to return it to her: "Oh, while it's useless now, I'll give it back to you, otherwise you will be hated for the rest of your life." ”

"Who, who hates you for the rest of your life?" Xu Xinyi's honey-colored skin was a little red, and he pushed the ticket away with a big grin: "I don't care about this little money!" You want me to hold a grudge unless...... Hmph, wait! ”

Unless there was anything, Xu Xinyi didn't say it after all.

You don't want this yourself, Qin Lin smiled and took the ticket back.

Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali knew the reason, and the sword also guessed a few points, but the others didn't know, but they only saw Qin Lin take a stack of tickets to give to the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, Xu Xinyi was not very happy to push it away, and stared at each one by one, and secretly said that this hundred households in brocade clothes are too anxious, not to mention that the Guogong Mansion is rich in Nanjing, how can the eldest lady ...... The female soldiers brought by Xu Xinyi looked at each other even more, all rubbing their eyes, and some of them were about to cry: Oh my God, it's been several years, and this is the first time that she dares to tease our eldest lady on the street! Although this brocade cloth is a little stupid, his courage is really fat!

Ying Tianfu's head catcher is called Bai Hao, about 30 years old, shrewd and strong, neat and skillful, examined the corpse, and talked with the local security and all witnesses, and then came back to report: "The deceased's surname is Xia, he is the Ku Cao of the Nanjing Silver Treasury, 48 years old this year, the family has a lot of money, and often takes silver to lend. Who assassinated him just now, the crowd was so crowded that the people didn't see it clearly, only knew that he suddenly stumbled to one side, and it took a few steps before he fell. ”

"That's the case," Wang Shizhen twisted his beard and thought about it, "Since he lent money, could it be that the person who owes the money tried to deny it and deliberately assassinated him?" ”

Bai Hao nodded: "It's possible, but the land security said that this person will go to the Qinglou to spend money if he is rich, because there are many beams that are jealous of the wind, and he likes to gamble, and there are several grudges born from gambling." ”

Wang Shizhen's brows furrowed.

Bai Hao took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said thoughtfully: "I wonder if the Lord can ask that Qin Baihu to help solve the case?" ”

"Oh?" Wang Shizhen narrowed her eyes.

"Qin is a hundred households in brocade clothes who made great contributions to the seizure of the heir and the assassination of Deng Zilong in the Jingwang Mansion of Qizhou, and it is said in the six doors that he has some skills."

Wang Shizhen's eyes lit up, but she didn't say please or not, and nodded noncommittally.

Bai Hao understood, walked up to Qin Lin and begged softly: "Lord Qin, in the lowly name Bai Hao, a friend in the rivers and lakes sent a bandit number 'Golden Eye Eagle', and he will catch the head of Ying Tianfu." This case is really elusive, although it should be managed by Tianfu, and the cases that are always reported in your jurisdiction, can you always reach out to help? Bai is grateful! ”

Qin Lin originally wanted to ask Wang Shizhen to beg him, so that he could make a personal relationship and do things in Nanjing in the future.

But Wang Shizhen is by no means comparable to Zhang Gongyu, a dignified member of the three grades and a leader in the literary world, and he will not panic for an ordinary person's murder case, so he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and sent Bai Hao to invite Qin Lin.

"I originally wanted to catch a big carp, but I ended up catching a twist fish", Qin Lin laughed in his stomach, but still nodded and agreed, so he went to carefully examine the autopsy.

"Why don't you ask Miss Ben for help?" Xu Xinyi pouted and asked Wang Shizhen extremely unhappily: "Mr. Wang, can't you trust Miss Ben?" ”

Miss, don't make trouble for the old man! Wang Shizhen complained bitterly in her heart, but she couldn't entangle Xu Xinyi, so she had to nod and say, "Why can't you believe it?" This official wants to kill chickens with a knife, this kind of small case doesn't seem to be worth the trouble of the eldest lady, and it is enough for someone Qin to help. ”

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway," Xu Xinyi happily walked towards the corpse.

Qin Lin squatted on the ground and examined the corpse, the ox ear sharp knife was still inserted into the heart of the deceased, and the officials did not move, except for this knife, the corpse had no other knife edges, and it was determined that it was a knife death.

Then, Qin Lin observed the blood stains on the ground, starting from the pool of blood under the deceased's body, and the intermittent blood stains led to the crowd...... Satisfied with the results of the examination, Qin Lin stretched his waist and stood up.

Bang!

Two heads hit each other.

Qin Lin rubbed her head, only to feel that her eyes were full of stars, and Xu Xinyi also rubbed her head, so painful that she was about to cry.

"You guy, why did you stand up all of a sudden!" Xu Xinyi pursed his mouth, and tears swirled in his apricot eyes.

Qin Lin's face was full of innocence, and he asked weakly: "Eldest sister, can I ask, why are you standing behind me without making a sound?" ”

Xu Xinyi choked and couldn't answer.

It turned out that Xu Xinyi knew that Qin Lin had some ability to solve the case, and he was competitive and wanted to overshadow him in solving the case, so he followed closely behind him, what Qin Lin observed, what Miss Xu also observed, both of them watched attentively, and they couldn't help but have an accident.

"You, what are you staring at blood? Miss Ben is curious, so let's take a look, can't I? Xu Xinyi crossed his waist with both hands and said angrily.

Qin Lin smiled evilly: "What can you see?" ”

"Blood!" Xu Xinyi pointed to the intermittent blood stains on the ground, "Some of these blood droplets are big, some are small, some are like broom stars, and some are a little round......"

This time it was Qin Lin's turn to be surprised, and he had to admit that Xu Xinyi was quite observant, and there were exactly the same blood stains in the eyes of ordinary people, in fact, there were many kinds according to the intensity and angle of the splash.

For example, there are splash-like blood stains, and there are dot-like blood stains formed by collisions and blows that are splashed around. It is common for the suspect to repeatedly hit the victim with a blunt object, and the splashed blood stains are often mixed with throwing bloodstains, which are generally left by the victim.

The blood droplets in the shape of the broom star mentioned by Xu Xinyi are the blood marks that fell when the victim scurried away, and the blood dripped diagonally to the ground and still splashed forward, looking like the tail of a comet, the scientific name is comet-shaped blood droplets, in which the "comet tail" points to the place where the victim is lodging, and the "comet nucleus" points to the direction in which he was assassinated.

Qin Lin gave these contents to his assistants Lu Yuanzhi and Niu vigorously explained, and Xu Xinyi also listened to them with relish.

Following the comet-shaped droplets of blood that dripped all the way, Qin Lin quickly found the place where the victim was originally killed, there was a blood stain here, composed of several tiny blood spots, countless blood spots were densely packed together, looking like a sky full of stars.

This is a splattery of blood, which is caused by the rupture of a human artery.

With his long-term experience in criminal investigation work, Qin Lin automatically remembered the scene at the moment when the case occurred: while all the passers-by were looking at Miss Xu Xinyi's car in the distance, the crowd was crowded, and a snow-bright bull-eared sharp knife stretched out from the crowd, and stabbed the victim in the chest unconsciously!

The moment he felt the chill, the victim must have been terrified, but he had no time to react, and could only watch death come in an instant.

Burst! Like a knife cutting through butter, the sharp tip of the knife easily pierces the skin, cuts the muscles, and punctures the heart.

The heart contracted violently, and warm blood splattered from the wound, forming a cloud of blood on the ground.

The victim stumbled and fled, but his heart was punctured, and his life had entered the countdown countdown, he covered his heart, and the blood continued to drip down, forming comet-shaped droplets on the ground.

Finally he fell headlong and never got up again, and the blood that kept flowing turned into a pool of blood.

Three different bloodstains, cruel and true writing of the victim's activity trajectory in the last ten seconds of his life, this bloody road is the Huangquan Road of the deceased, and it is also the only way for Qin Lin to find the real murderer!
