Yang Qiuchi looked back at Jing Ci: "Master, is what Yuantong said true?" ”

Jing Ci thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It was indeed just dawn when they went down the mountain that day, and I just got up, so it should be no more than an hour after the fifth watch." ”

Yang Qiuchi asked Yuantong: "Let me ask you again, what day did you sneak back to the nunnery and carry Yuanhui's body to the top of the mountain?" ”

"Late the night before yesterday."

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "That is to say, after you kill someone, you go down the mountain, and when you come back to carry the corpse, it will be about two days and two nights." Have you ever been back halfway through? ”

Yuantong affirmed, "No." I've been with two other sisters and sisters who can testify. ”

Yang Qiuchi looked inquiringly at the two nuns who had gone down the mountain with Yuantong.

An older nun said: "That day, the three of us went down the mountain together, and Senior Sister Yuantong said that we should not go far, and we will make a fortune in the village near the bottom of this mountain. We have all heard that there was a killer in this nearby state and county recently, who specializes in killing women, and also cut off women's breasts and ...... ** and throw them around. We were so scared that we didn't dare to go far. ”

Another nun who was a little younger said, "Yes, although Senior Sister Yuantong knows kung fu, we are still very scared, so the three of us will make a relationship near the bottom of the mountain. However, the villages under this mountain have more or less donated to the temple, and they say that their children are also poor, and those rich people are so stingy, so they didn't get much in two days. ”

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Have you been together for the past two days?" ”

The little nun said, "Yes, we all go together during the day and live together at night. However, on the second night we both slept very hard, and slept until dawn, and we never woke up in the middle of the day, and we wondered how we slept so deadly. So, we didn't know about the mountain that night. ”

Yang Qiuchi looked at Yuantong: "It's your hands and feet, right?" ”

Yuantong bowed his head and said, "Yes, I added medicine to their meals to help them sleep." ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "You have a premeditated plan, so these things are already ready." After a pause, he asked the two nuns, "You don't know the second night, but what about the first night?" Do you sleep so dead? ”

The big nun said: "Never, only that night I slept the deadest, I was old, I had some insomnia, sometimes I couldn't sleep all night, the first night we went down the mountain, although I fell asleep for a while, but I am afraid it would not be more than an hour, and then I couldn't sleep." ”

"What about Yuantong? Was YTO with you that night? ”

The big nun said, "Together." ”

"Could it be that she is stuffing clothes and stuffed under the quilt to pretend to be herself, and you haven't noticed?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

"How so? On such a hot day, the quilt only covers the small belly, and the head and most of the body are still exposed. ”

The little nun also testified: "Yes, I slept until midnight that night, and I had to get up at night and go to the thatched house, and it was dark and midwinter outside...... I was even more scared of the killer, so I woke up Yuantong and asked her to accompany me. So she went with me to the hut. ”

It takes four hours to go up and down the mountain, and judging from the testimony of these two nuns, Yuantong was with them except for the second night, and there was no time to go up the mountain.

After getting the proof, Yang Qiuchi suddenly changed his words and said: "This official just said that there is still a serious matter to be done, you must want to know what this serious matter is, that is, the case of Yuantong killing Yuan Hui, there is still a suspicious point that has not been clarified, and this official must find out tonight before the final verdict." ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard it, a suspicious point that affected the verdict? What could it be? They all looked at Yang Qiuchi with great anticipation.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Before getting down to business, let me first talk about a little common sense about autopsy. I'm not afraid of your jokes, this official used to be a junior apprentice for a period of time, and he didn't do it well, and he was almost swept out of the house by my master. Later, he became an official by chance. ”

When the nuns heard Yang Qiuchi talk about their troubles, they all smiled heartily, and they were a little more kind to this young magistrate.

"The common sense of this autopsy is that when a person dies, the blood in the body will accumulate downward, thus forming corpse spots in the lower part of the corpse - that is, the purple-red marks on the corpse. At about five or six hours after death (note: 10 to 12 hours), if the body is turned over, the corpse spots will fall back to a new low part of the body, but at this time, the corpse spots in the original place where the corpse spots were formed will not completely disappear, but will fade somewhat, and the new low places will form new corpse spots, and the color will be lighter. ”

The nuns listened as if they didn't understand, and looked at Yang Qiuchi dumbfounded.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "In a nutshell, if a place where it is impossible to form corpse spots is found on a corpse, it proves that the corpse has been moved!" If the color is lighter, it means that the time of movement should be about six hours after death. ”

The nuns still looked at Yang Qiuchi in a daze, not understanding what she was trying to prove when she said this.

Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly: "Now we have to get to the point - I found two light-colored corresponding corpse spots on the body of the deceased Yuan Hui!" ”

He stretched out his left hand, gestured for a moment, and said, "The two corpse spots I found on the inside and outside of Yuan Hui's left arm are relatively light in color, which proves that Yuan Hui's arm was moved about five or six hours after she was killed. ”

At this moment, the nuns reacted a little and whispered about it.

Yang Qiuchi waited for them to be quiet before he continued: "I have already verified just now that I have not gone up the mountain between the killing of Yuantong and the camouflage scene two days later. And the only one in the nunnery who knew that Yuan Hui was dead, but Yuan Miao was so timid and quiet, she would not run to Yuan Hui's room alone to move the corpse. ”

Besides, the latched doors and windows inside proved that she hadn't been there. She didn't know that Yuan Hui's window could actually be opened from the outside when it could be lifted, and it was Yuan Tong's hands and feet, which she deliberately loosened in order to sneak in quietly when she and Yuan Hui were good. There's no way she's going to tell Yuan Miao about this kind of thing, and she can't tell anyone else, so Yuan Miao can't get in, and the rest of you can't get into this room that was bolted from the inside. ”

"Since no one has ever gone in, this means that no one has moved this corpse for two days and two nights after Yuan Hui's death, that is, twenty-four hours, it is strange, could it be that this corpse is tired of lying on its own and has turned its arm over?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt a chill on their backs, and they looked at each other.

"Of course not!" Yang Qiuchi said in a deep voice, "Yuantong sneaked into Yuanhui's room that night to kill people, saying that after he strangled Yuanhui, he was going to move the body out to deal with it, but as soon as the quilt was lifted, Yuanhui's hand slid and startled her, and she thought it was a corpse, and after figuring out whether it was not, she put her hand back again, because he heard someone walking outside, and it was inconvenient to carry the corpse out, so he left without moving." The two corpse spots on the arm of Yuan Hui's corpse have already told us that this arm was moved, and it was at this time that it moved. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi turned his head and asked Yuantong: "Think about it, when you pinch Yuanhui, did Yuanhui react?" For example, kicking your legs, moving your hands, and shaking your head? ”

Yuantong lowered his head and thought about it, frowned and said a little strangely: "Maybe she slept too dead, and it was too dark in the house at night for me to see clearly." Speaking of this, he frowned and shook his head, "Now that I think about it, something is wrong, when I pinched her, I felt that she didn't move much, and she didn't resist, and besides, her neck was cold......"

"That's right!" Yang Qiuchi slapped the table and said, "You must know that only the body of a dead person will have corpse spots!" Six hours after the person died, someone moved the corpse's arm, and only then did it form corpse spots in two places on the arm, since no one had moved the corpse within two days after Yuan Hui's death, but there were two corpse spots on the corpse's arm, there was only one possibility," Yang Qiuchi stopped when he said this, glanced around at everyone, and then said slowly, "Six hours before Yuantong pinched Yuanhui and moved Yuanhui's arm, Yuanhui was already dead!" Yuantong pinched a corpse! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Yuantong was even more surprised, almost unable to believe his ears.

Yang Qiuchi then explained: "Therefore, the truth should be like this: that evening Yuan Hui had dinner with everyone, Yuan Jue proved that she was in a good mood at the time, she returned to the meditation room after eating, followed or lurked in the room The real murderer strangled her - she was strangled to death, there is no doubt about this - the murderer fled the room, that night on the fifth watch, Yuan Tong sneaked into the room and pinched Yuan Hui, and at this time, Yuan Hui had been dead for five or six hours, when Yuan Tong re-placed Yuan Hui's left arm, he turned the position of the arm, As a result, the zombie was transferred, and two corpse spots were formed in the corresponding part! ”

Yang Qiuchi's words were like a boulder thrown into a pool, and the nuns immediately boiled the pot.

Yuantong and Yuanmiao's hands were tightly clasped together, and their eyes flashed with excitement, of course they knew that if what Yang Qiuchi said was true, when Yuantong killed Yuanhui, Yuanhui was already dead, then Yuantong's sin would be much lighter, at least he would not be sentenced to death!

Song Yun'er was also surprised by the scene of this drama, and asked, "Brother, have you found out who the real murderer is?" ”

"It's been investigated," Yang Qiuchi nodded, looked around at everyone, and said coldly: "This murderer is among us!" ”
