Chapter 773: Determining the identity of the deceased
Su Jinpeng walked to the corpse on the left, and after squatting down to examine it carefully, he said to Liu Tianxiong: "When you were examining the corpse just now, didn't you find that there were some very special places on this corpse?" ”
Liu Tianxiong said: "What did you find?" ”
Su Jinpeng asked Liu Tianxiong to look carefully at the right hand of the corpse, and said, "You take a closer look at his right hand." ”
Liu Tianxiong took the corpse's right hand in his hand and examined it carefully, and said, "There seems to be ink on his right hand." ”
Su Jinpeng said: "Then let me ask you, who will have ink on their hands?" ”
Liu Tianxiong didn't think about it, and said: "Of course, there are people who are often engaged in writing things, such as Xiucai, the master of the yamen, and the gentleman who keeps accounts." ”
Liu Tianxiong said in surprise: "Do you think that this corpse was often engaged in writing before his death?" Then he should be a scholar. ”
Su Jinpeng nodded and said, "There is a possibility." He still has calluses on his hands, which shows that he has practiced swords, and even if he is not good at swordsmanship, it also shows that he knows martial arts. Since these two people know martial arts and are dressed up as ordinary people, this shows that they are on a mission. This mission caused them to abandon all their weapons. ”
Liu Tianxiong nodded and said, "That makes sense." But the two men had been dead for twelve hours, and their heads had been cut off. We can't find the identity of the body now, so where do we start? ”
After Su Xianrong, Wei Bixiao and the others looked around for a long time, they returned to Su Jinpeng's side.
Su Jinpeng got up from the side of the corpse, looked at Su Xianrong and said, "Rongrong, did you find anything suspicious?" ”
Su Xianrong said: "I was thirty zhang away and found a jade pendant with a missing horn. The shape of the jade pendant is that of an eagle with wings spread high, and the right wing of the eagle is broken. I looked around, but I didn't find the broken wing. Thirty feet away is the first scene of the crime, where there are traces of a fight. The branches of the cypress and the branches of the shrubs were cut off a lot, which shows that the fighting was very fierce at that time. I deduced that this eagle-shaped jade pendant should have been left by the murderer. ”
Xiao Jiejie said excitedly: "Hey, I said Brother Su, when you were in Juxian Villa last night. Didn't you tear off a jade pendant from Meng Yixuan's waist? ”
Su Jinpeng said affirmatively: "That's right, I ripped off a piece of jade pendant from Meng Yixuan's waist, but that jade pendant is not an eagle-shaped jade pendant, but a flame-shaped jade pendant. The jade pendant is carved from Lantian jade, but this jade pendant is Hetian jade, the jade quality is different, the shape is also different, and there is no inevitable connection at all. Also, if Meng Yixuan killed these two people. Then his jade pendant should be at the scene of the crime, how can he still have a jade pendant around his waist? ”
Su Xianrong said: "So, the person who killed these two people is not Meng Yixuan, so who could it be?" ”
Liu Tianxiong looked at the two male corpses and said, "No matter who killed them, I think the most important thing for us now is to determine the true identities of these two people." ”
Wei Bixiao held a golden elixir in his hand, walked up to Su Jinpeng, and said, "Brother Su." I found a golden pill at the scene of the fight, I wonder if it will help the case? ”
Su Jinpeng took the golden pill. "I don't know if these pills are from the deceased or the murderer. However, if you can figure out the composition of these pills and determine what kind of disease the pills are curing, it will be very helpful to solve the case. ”
After Xiao Jiejie saw the golden pill, her face was very ugly, Su Xianrong thought that she knew the origin of the pill, and said, "Does Miss Xiao know the origin of this pill?" ”
Xiao Jiejie said: "I have seen this pill in Shenjiagou. ”
Su Jinpeng said in surprise: "Have you seen it in Shenjiagou?" Do you know what this pill is for? ”
Xiao Jiejie said: "What kind of disease does this pill cure?" I don't know, but I saw Shen Hong, the owner of Shenjiazhuang, eat it. ”
Su Jinpeng suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you remember, Shen Hong said that his son Shen Zhibin and a man in their village, Shen Dayou, went to Zixia Mountain Villa together. We asked Shen Hong what his son was doing in Zixia Mountain. He seemed to be very embarrassed at the time, and didn't tell us the truth, just said that his son Shen Zhibin and Shen Dayou went to Zixia Villa just to do some trivial things. ”
Liu Tianxiong said in surprise: "It can't be such a coincidence, these two people are Shen Zhibin and Shen Dayou." ”
Su Xianrong said: "Is it not, just ask Shen Hong to find out." ”
Liu Tianxiong said with some embarrassment: "What about this corpse? ”
Su Jinpeng said: "This corpse is temporarily left here, you go to the Shen family to communicate that Shen Hong came to identify the corpse." If this corpse is Shen Dayou and Shen Zhibin, I am afraid that this case will be easy to investigate. ”
Liu Tianxiong arrived at Honghuaji, hired a fast horse, and soon arrived at Shenjiazhuang.
When Shen Hong heard that those two people were likely to be Shen Zhibin and Shen Dayan, he was very nervous, and he didn't even bother to change his clothes at that time, so he asked people to prepare a carriage, and set off with five thugs with good kung fu to follow Liu Tianxiong.
After Liu Tianxiong brought Shen Hong to the scene of the crime, Shen Hong recognized one of the deceased at a glance.
He said that his son Shen Zhibin didn't like to practice martial arts, he liked to dance and write, and he always made his hands very black. The most important point is that Shen Zhibin has a red birthmark the size of an egg on his chest.
Su Jinpeng compared those characteristics and determined that the identity of the deceased was Shen Zhibin and Shen Dayou.
When Shen Hong learned that his son had died, he was very sad, and tears of sadness flowed out unconsciously.
Su Jinpeng waited until Shen Hong's mood stabilized, he called Shen Hong aside, and under a big pine tree, Song Ruilong asked: "Master Shen, so far you still refuse to tell you, what are your sons and Shen Dayou doing in Zixia Villa?" ”
Shen Hong took a long breath and said, "Lord Song, now that the matter is over, you don't have to appear as Su Gongzi. I said that my sons Shen Zhibin and Shen Dayou went to Zixia Villa this time to perform a very important task. ”
Song Ruilong was not surprised, and said: "Oh, since you know the identity of this county, then this county will no longer hide it." Yes, the next is the county order of Ping'an County, you go on, what is the task? ”
"This task is related to the stability of the entire rivers and lakes, and it is also related to the survival of the entire Shenjiazhuang."
Shen Hong said that the matter was very serious, which made Song Ruilong's heart a little nervous, and said, "Master Shen, what do you mean by this?" What exactly is your son's mission? ”
