A cut throat? So why don't you make a sound when you're fighting? The room was messed with knife marks, like a tornado, so in the minds of others, Mao Haifeng should have been killed by a knife after he was defeated.

Most people were still at a loss, only Lu Yuanzhi's small eyes flickered, and his fat face smiled so much that his eyes and nose were piled up: "Time of death, our Chief Qin must have checked the time of death, and found that it did not match the first shift explained by the neighbors......"

Just when Huo Chonglou, Niu Dali and other enthusiastic audiences cooperated to make expressions of sudden realization, Qin Lin smiled and shook his head.

It was early spring, the night by the sea was extremely humid and cold, the temperature of the corpse dropped too quickly, and the degree of eye cloudiness, corpse spots and other indicators could not be accurate enough to distinguish the difference in the time of death within half an hour between "before the first watch" and "after the first watch".

The result of forensic identification of the time of death is a vague standard, expecting it to be accurate to the minute, which is absolutely impossible, and the accuracy of the identification also decreases with the extension of the time of death, for example, within one day of death, it can be accurate to the hour, and more than a week of death, it can basically only be accurate to the day.

"It's a splattered bloodstain!" Qin Lin led everyone to the wooden house, and he entered alone, and the others, including Jin Yingji and the three old maritime merchants, all looked in from the open windows and doors, and the lamps and torches were shining brightly.

Qin Lin pointed to the simple wooden bed with straw mats in the room, and there were blood splatters on the west wall next to the bed more than two feet above the bed surface, and the tips of the blood stains were diagonally upward.

This is? Everyone didn't know why, but with blood and knife marks everywhere in the room, this bloodstain was not particularly conspicuous.

slapped his head, Qin Lin felt funny: he almost regarded these people as criminal police colleagues, dizzy.

Knowing that they didn't understand the parabolic trajectory analysis of blood splashing, Qin Lin immediately asked someone to take a water bladder, kill a pig and take pig blood and put it in the water bladder, then went outside, picked up a clean wall, squeezed the water bladder and sprayed blood on the wall.

The maritime merchants didn't understand what he was doing, but looking at the things that this deputy in brocade clothes did everything, they were all aroused by his curiosity, and everyone was waiting to see what tricks he could do.

On the contrary, it was Ye Ma and the others, seeing that Qin Lin had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and knew that this was not a good time to incite, so they had to pinch their noses to watch him "mess around".

Qin Lin sprayed more than ten times from different angles and distances, and the pig's blood sprayed bright red on the wall, and then stopped and asked, "Everyone, please see, which of these more than ten times is similar to the one that this official just pointed out to you?" ”

The leaders of the maritime merchants led by Jin Yingji all went to observe, and found that some of these blood stains were low, some were high, some were rounder, and some were longer, and the most similar to the one in Mao Haifeng's room was the seventh blood stain from left to right.

Qin Lin smiled and asked, "Who remembers the distance and height of this blood stain when the official sprayed pig blood, holding the water bladder from the wall?" ”

Jin Yingji became more and more interested, and she had already guessed Qin Lin's intentions: "I still remember!" More than five feet away from the wall, the blood stain is about two feet higher than the water bladder! ”

Hearing this, others still didn't quite understand what was going on, but Shimazu Kotorimaru and Iga Oniqing glanced at each other, the former showed a shocked look, and Iga Oniqing was also shocked for the first time - I didn't expect that the envoys of the Ming Kingdom would be so capable, could it be that the characters of the Heavenly Empire were as powerful as him?

Qin Lin led everyone back to the wooden house, and at this time, the bloodstain in the room, which was originally unnoticeable, was extremely dazzling at this time.

Extrapolating from the conclusion of the experiment just now, the place where the blood was spewing out should be two feet below and five feet from the wall—so everyone knew that it was the place where the pillows were placed on the wooden bed!

Mao Haifeng didn't fight anyone at all, he was cut off by someone in his sleep and died outright!

So where did the house full of knife marks come from? The conclusion is also coming.

A respected old maritime merchant first shouted: "It was the thief who killed Brother Mao, and then sprinkled blood everywhere, slashed with knives, and pretended to have a big battle!" ”

Qin Lin asked with interest, "Then why did he do this?" And what is it to cover up? ”

"Time!" Lu Yuanzhi really suddenly realized this time, and replied: "It's time!" The murderers are two people, Mao Haifeng has been silently killed by the main culprit before the first watch, and after a short shift, the accomplice deliberately scratches the knife marks all over the house and makes the sound of fighting, so that after the crime, if you ask the neighbors, you will come to the conclusion that Mao Haifeng died a little later, and the main culprit who did it has stood under the noses of everyone, and there is sufficient evidence to prove that he was not present! ”

Qin Lin nodded, this was the only answer.

His eyes lit up like sharp arrows, nailing them to Iga Akichi.

There is also the most reasonable explanation for why the house is so cluttered, and it is too "clean" in the eyes of forensic experts.

In order to cover up the fact that Mao Haifeng was killed with a knife and did not fight with the murderer, leaving knife marks and blood stains everywhere not only induces the detective to go astray, but also makes the blood splattered on the wall not look particularly eye-catching.

And there are no bloody footprints, bloody handprints and other clues, and the whole room seems to be too "clean", which is caused by the fake scene afterwards and no real fighting!

The truth of the case has basically been revealed so far, and the angry eyes of the maritime merchants have turned to Shimazu Kotorimaru and Iga Kiki.

Iga Kamishinobu was hiding in a dark corner, a dead face couldn't see any movement, and Shimazu Kotorimaru's face became extremely ugly, and he involuntarily stepped back: "You, you have no evidence, anyone can kill Mao Jun before the first shift, yes, the envoys of the Ming Kingdom have no alibi......"

"Who says there's no evidence?" Qin Lin's smile was like a demon king from the depths of hell, condescending, contemptuous of an ant-like humble and incompetent opponent, but he made himself a smart opponent.

Shimazu Kotorimaru instinctively felt a shudder.

Qin Lin touched his nose and squeezed his eyes at Jin Yingji: "Do you want to know where the missing drop of blood is?" The official guessed that maybe the second accomplice who entered Mao Haifeng's wooden house didn't even know about it until now! ”

"Tell me!" Jin Yingji grabbed Qin Lin's arm desperately, and said eagerly: "I want to avenge my righteous brother!" ”

Qin Lin smiled and signaled her to be calm, and then ordered Takeo Kameban: "Please go to the wooden house and take out the pen I left inside." ”

Takeo Kameban looked at Jin Sakurahime and then at Qin Lin, and after getting the master's first approval, he stepped on the clogs and walked to the hut, before entering the house, he clamped the big toe and the second toe of the rope in front of the clogs and loosened them, and it was very convenient to flick the footboard, and the feet wearing thick cotton socks were taken out of the clogs, and the two clogs were naturally neatly arranged outside the door, and then he stepped into the house.

"You don't have any pencils?" The situation in the house was clear at a glance, and Takeo Kameban felt that he was teased by Qin Lin, and turned around to complain to him, his face flushed.

However, he was soon taken aback, because the expressions on everyone's faces had become extremely rich at this time, and many people stared at Shimazu's Kotorimaru's feet, and this messenger of the Shimazu family was as pale as paper, and his expression was extremely flustered.

Qin Lin was not in a hurry to uncover the mystery, and looked at Kotorimaru with a wicked smile like a cat playing mouse, and then turned his head and asked Takeo Kameban: "May I ask if I must take off my shoes before entering the house, what is it for?" ”

"Don't get the tatami mats dirty!" Takeo Kameban's face was inexplicable.

Qin Lin smiled: "Then, there is blood all over the place in Mao Haifeng's cabin, and there are knife marks everywhere, so dirty that it can't be dirty anymore, why do you have to take off your shoes?" ”

"I'm used to it, I never take off my shoes when I enter the house, I didn't think about it so much just now," Takeshi Kameban muttered, very impatient with Qin Lin's investigation, but then a thought flashed through his heart, and he immediately opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he became the same expression as other people.

In the early spring, it was warm and cold, and the seaside was humid, and it would freeze if you wore clogs barefoot, so Shimazu Kotorimaru wore a pair of thick and warm cotton socks.

But now he regrets it very much, he regrets it very much, he would rather be barefoot and wear nothing, and under the attention of everyone, he feels that his whole body has been stripped naked, and there is nothing to hide and hide.

Qin Lin asked Lu Yuanzhi for a long time: "Fat man, you just looked at the shoes, did you look at the soles of your feet?" ”

"Hey, I thought that blood was dripping on the upper of the shoe, where did you think to check the soles of people's feet? Fortunately, Brother Qin's guidance understands, and it shouldn't be too late to check it now," the fat man said as he approached Shimazu Kotorimaru with a wicked smile, making a gesture to grab his feet.

Kotorimaru was horrified, and when he stepped back, he suddenly felt his whole body light, and the objects in front of him became upside down.

It turned out that Niu Dali quietly touched his back, and Lu Fatzi covered up, and he reached out and lifted Xiao Yueben upside down.

"Haha, you don't stink, let's take a look at the soles of your feet!" Niu Dali laughed and uncovered the clogs of Kotorimaru, but saw that there was a drop of red blood on the sole of his left foot where the thick cotton socks were located!

The facts of the case have been revealed to the world, it was Iga Ghost Qing who immediately ran back to the stage to play chess with Ye Ma after killing Mao Haifeng a little bit ago, and he had high martial arts and a strong reputation for murder, so Shimazu Kotorimaru went to the wooden house again, and made a noise at a later time, making the illusion of a fight, in order to create an alibi of Iga Ghost Qing!

It is said that his slippers entering the house have long been a deep-rooted habit for decades, and Takeo Kameita proved this with his behavior, and sure enough, Shimazu Kotorimaru was no exception, and he took off his shoes before entering the house, and his foot in thick cotton socks accidentally stepped on the bloodstain, wiped it off the floor, and got it on the socks, thus becoming fatal evidence.

"No, it can't be!" Kotorimaru shouted in despair, he definitely didn't believe that he didn't even notice that his socks were stained with blood, how did Qin Lin think of it?

As if he understood the other party's desperate howl, Qin Lin smiled and showed the clue he had just found, a very inconspicuous white cotton thread: "Mao Haifeng is wearing a gray coat, black pants and felt shoes, but just now the official found this on the floor." ”

"Then, Mr. Iga......" Qin Lin stretched out his tongue and licked his lips that were dry from the sea breeze. Eyeing Iga Oniqing.

In the midst of a sneer, Iga Oniqing threw an object to the ground, and suddenly the fire flickered and the smoke rose, and a black light shot out of the smoke!
