While Lu Yuanzhi was squatting next to the corpse to inspect the autopsy, Qin Lin asked the case in detail.

As previously speculated, this well, which belongs to the southern edge of Luoma City, is used in a time that is affected by the season.

In the hot spring and summer, when the big animals that come to the mule and horse market need a lot of water, the people who draw water from the well will line up; In autumn and winter, the amount of livestock is greatly reduced, and the livestock do not need to drink as much water when the weather is cold, and a few wells in the center of the city can fully supply water, but this well is almost idle because the place is too remote.

Qin Lin looked at the edge of the well, it was clean, but it was wet from the body that was salvaged just now, and there was no thick moss growing near the edge of the well like the wells that were often used, the wooden wheels for taking water were dry and cracked, accumulating dust and cobwebs, and the well ropes were worn, full of burrs because of dryness, and they were prickly to the touch.

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a well that hasn't been used for a long time, or it's simply an abandoned well," Qin Lin said to himself.

Huang Jiashan frowned, thoughtful.

The beggar was mistaken by the eunuch and dysentery, thinking that Qin Lin doubted himself, so his face turned pale with fright at the moment, and he shook his hand to argue: "Chief Qin, Lord Qin, the small one is not lying, this well is really not used by people in normal times, but the small ones are disliked by others, and they dare not go to a few wells in the middle of the Luoma City to get water, so they have to come here secretly......"

Between the city of Luoma and the mass grave further south was a large area of semi-deserted houses, inhabited by the poorest people in Beijing, and the group of beggars under the leper head lived in it.

Originally, there were a few wells in disrepair in the abandoned houses, but the rainfall in autumn and winter decreased, and these old wells dried up, and only the wells in Luoma City still had water.

Of course, the common people do not have a good impression of these self-mutilated and self-degraded people, and the horse dealers and cattle dealers in the mule and horse markets do not allow unfortunate beggars to go to their wells to get water.

The cattle and horse dealers were all big high-rollers with great wealth and many men, and the beggars did not dare to fight with others, so they had to retreat, and started a guerrilla war with the cattle and horse dealers, and chose a few wells in the middle of the whole mule and horse market, where they would get water today, and tomorrow they would change places, hiding from each other—if they were caught, it would not be pleasant to be whipped by the cattle dealers.

Today was when the leper head secretly came to fetch water, and the bucket was put down and touched a foreign object, and the body in the well was found.

Qin Lin's expression moved slightly, and he asked again: "You are fighting guerrillas with horse dealers, do the people around you know about this?" ”

"I know," the leper head pulled out a beggar with a scar on his face from the pile, pointed to the scar and said: "Look, Xiao Mao was caught by a horse dealer last time he fetched water, and was escorted to the middle of the mule and horse market. ”

Huang Jiashan shook his head when he heard this, and instructed Di Bao: "It is very shameful for the beggars to be willing to degenerate, why should the horse dealers be so cruel? If they beat someone like this again, the official will punish him according to the law. ”

The earth protection was only silent, and the beggar eunuch led by the leprosy head was overjoyed, bowed down to Huang Jiashan, and shouted Lord Qingtian, as for Huang Zhixian's reproach of them for "being willing to degenerate and shameful", it was automatically filtered.

Qin Lin touched his nose with a smile and nodded: "If you say that, the people living around actually know that the beggars will take turns to get water from these temporarily idle wells - but if you don't know the details, this well does look like it has been abandoned." ”

"General Qin is saying," Huang Jiashan's eyes lit up, and the halberd pointed to the well: "The murderer in the corpse well is a person who is not familiar with the situation in this area?" ”

"Or a foreigner, and he or they seem to be in a hurry, as if they are in a hurry to do something else," Qin Lin pondered, taking the answer one step further.

Huang Jiashan became interested, and said in a rhetorical tone: "Why is it a foreigner, can't it be a person from the north or west of Beijing?" They are equally unfamiliar with the situation in the vicinity. ”

"Because I smell blood, the familiar smell of human blood, with a hint of saltiness in the unique fishy cheeks......" Qin Lin said as he spoke, a gust of north wind blew, and the people around him shivered, and goosebumps stood all over their bodies.

Unaware of it, he entered a state of forgetfulness, and while searching the ground, he muttered to himself: "Look, there is a little dripping blood here, which was covered by the dead leaves that the wind blew just now, and now the dead leaves have been blown away, and it has been exposed. Do you think it doesn't look like a broom star, Yellow Parents? ”

Huang Jiashan looked at the shape of the blood droplets, which indeed looked like a comet streaked in the sky.

Qin Lin observed the blood droplets: "This is left by the murderer when he carried people away, and when the blood droplets hit the ground, they still had a forward momentum, and some small blood beads bounced up from the ground and splashed to the front, so they formed the comet tail we saw, pointing in the direction of the well." ”

Rao is Huang Jiashan is erudite and talented, and when he heard this unheard of knowledge, his eyes lit up, and he said: "So the head of the comet points in the direction where the murderer came!" Someone, search this way! ”

"Wait!" Qin Lin stopped the officials who were in a hurry to rush over, and first drew a circle next to the blood droplets, and everyone looked at it closely, and it turned out to be half a faint footprint.

Why do you say half? Because there is only the forefoot part.

Seeing this, an old catcher exclaimed: "God, this murderer's light skills are really great, too powerful!" ”

The weight of the corpse is also more than 100 catties, carrying a heavy corpse, the murderer can still land on tiptoe and leave a faint footprint, this light work is remarkable!

With the shape of this footprint alone, Qin Lin and the experienced catcher could even imagine the situation where the murderer carried the corpse and performed light skills like a dragonfly passing by like a dragonfly!

Master, definitely master.

The murderer didn't seem to deliberately go [***] formation, it was simply straight ahead, Qin Lin took the well as a starting point, followed the direction indicated by the first comet-shaped blood droplet, and soon found the second drop of blood, and then the blood stains appeared continuously.

Finally, Qin Lin stopped about half a mile away from the well, where there was a long-abandoned house with half of the roof collapsed, and the smell here was even stronger, and almost everyone who came with him smelled the fishy smell.

This is it!

Qin Lin found a large area of blood stains in the private house, among which on the north wall about the height of the neck, a large spot of blood was like a blooming red plum under the pen of a master painter, which was the standard splattered bloodstain, proving that this was undoubtedly the first scene.

On the west wall, at the same height, there is a flirtatious bloodstain formed by the swing of a weapon, straight as a line, ending in a string of ellipses that seem to never end...... Looking at these bloodstains, Qin Lin's mind suddenly appeared in the scene of the crime: the victim stood at the scene of the crime, the murderer suddenly drew his knife, slashing horizontally from right to left, the speed and power of this knife were wonderful, the victim didn't have time to dodge at all, the blade cut his neck, and cut off his head together.

As a result, blood gushed out from the large blood vessels in the ruptured neck under the pressure of cardiac systolic pressure, leaving a splattery of blood on the north wall, and the sharp blade that cut off the human head was castrated, throwing the attached blood onto the west wall, forming a straight pump-like bloodstain, and finally the headless corpse fell softly, and the blood that continued to gush out formed a pool of blood on the ground.

"Good knife technique, good knife technique," Qin Lin looked at the straight line-like blood stains, and could fully appreciate the speed and power of that knife.

I remember hearing Cheng Tiehai say before that the White Lotus Sect should rob the right envoy of the "Iron Mask Killing Buddha" Ai Kuzen, and he is accustomed to using an iron ring knife, and the Heavenly Demon Killing God Knife Technique recruits people's heads!

Huang Jiashan chased after him, and was surprised when he looked at the bloodstains in the room, he didn't understand what these bloodstains represented, so he just continued the previous question: "This is the place where the crime occurred, hey, why did a foreigner commit the crime, General Qin, you haven't answered the next official yet." ”

Qin Lin smiled slightly: "Everyone in Jingshi knows that there are beggars in this vicinity, who would choose this place as the scene of the killing?" In addition, choosing to throw the corpse into the well instead of the corpse street is an attempt to hide the crime, but the murderer chose a well that seems to have been abandoned for a long time, but in fact there are beggars who go to get water from time to time, which also proves that he is not familiar with the situation in this area at all! ”

Huang Jiashan nodded in agreement, and said, "It seems that the murderer is careless enough." ”

"Well, it's not so much carelessness as being unscrupulous," Qin Lin gave a more accurate answer, prompting Huang Jiashan: "Generally, criminals who hide corpses in abandoned wells, in addition to throwing corpses into them, will ......"

"The well will be filled!" Huang Jiashan suddenly realized.

If they are really going to hide the corpse for a long time, after throwing the corpse into the well, the criminals will often throw some bricks and stones into it, bury the corpse, and further hide the eyes and ears of the people.

In this case, there are many broken walls near the well, and the murderer can use local materials to easily bury the body in the well, but he did not do so, which is a bit different, at least not like ordinary criminals who are worried about the body being found later.

Huang Jiashan only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Is it because you are in a hurry to hide the corpse well and not bury it, and you are in a hurry to do something?" ”

"There is this factor," Qin Lin pondered, "Of course, if we reasonably speculate, we can completely continue to infer that the criminal has achieved a certain stage of the goal. He hid the corpse well because he didn't want the corpse to be found immediately and disturb his next move; He didn't bother to put the effort into landfilling, but he was confident that he could complete the operation in the last day or two and get out of here! ”

What's next? Huang Jiashan was taken aback, what is this murderer going to do in Beijing?

"Look at the results of Lu Yuanzhi's examination, I hope to find clues to the identity of the victim," Qin Lin carefully examined the first scene as he spoke, and felt that there were no valuable clues, so he pulled Huang Jiashan back to the well.

Judging from the behavior of the criminals, Qin Lin felt that there would not be much time left for him to detect......
