"I don't know how Chang Feng investigated, but what clues did he find?" Kang Xu leaned against the threshold, looking at the falling leaves, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Almost everything that had happened recently had exhausted him physically and mentally, and a hint of fatigue suddenly appeared on his face, but his eyes were still bright, as if he could see everything.

"Brother Kang, I found it!"

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation of ecstasy from the room.

Kang Xu hurriedly stood up, turned around and stepped into Yizhuang.

Xiao Wu, who was sweating profusely, couldn't wipe his sweat, pointed to the chest of the corpse, and shouted, "Brother Kang, look here." ”

Kang Xu hurriedly leaned over, he saw a deep cut on the ribs on the chest of the corpse, and said in surprise: "This is ...... Scar? ”

"Yes, this scar is located right in the heart, the cut is smooth, and the murder weapon should be extremely sharp." Xiao Wu compared the width between the two ribs, and continued: "Judging from the gap between the ribs, the murder weapon did not pass through the body, it seems that the murder weapon is not very long, and it is very likely to be a dagger." ”

Kang Xu took out the magnified gem from his satchel, ignored the stench on the bones, and observed it against his sternum.

The incision was located in the lower sternum, the mark was deep, and it could be seen that the murder weapon was extremely sharp, and a rough map of the murder weapon instantly appeared in Kang Xu's mind.

Single-edged, sharp, shorter, about two fingers wide.

Kang Xu frowned, although he had a general identification of the murder weapon, this could not be decisive in the case.

After all, there are simply too many daggers of this type.

The Tang Dynasty wears daggers even more, not to mention killing. As long as there is some status, they will carry a dagger with them.

But. Most of them are just used to show their identity.

"In addition to that, I found some other scars." Xiao Wu pointed to the skeleton's right arm. and the skeleton of the legs, saying: "Look here, and here, these places have more or less old wounds, especially the right arm, the bone of this person's right elbow is broken, and the whole right arm is twisted. ”

Kang Xu took the magnifying gem and carefully observed the right arm of the corpse, indeed as Xiao Wu said, the right arm of the corpse was from the elbow down. It is distorted.

"Can you determine what caused these scars?" Kang Xu straightened up and asked.

"It should be some sword scars, and there are several scars that are only half an inch away from killing him, I really don't know who he has offended, and he is covered in scars." Xiao Wu sighed.

"Scars all over the body, most of them go deep into the bone marrow, this kind of person is either a person from the rivers and lakes or a soldier on the battlefield." Kang Xu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

He patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Wu." It's really hard for you this time, you immediately go and inform Tao Jizhu, just say that I have something important to inquire. ”

Xiao Wu did not hesitate at all, after taking off his gloves and mask. After washing his hands in the water, he ran out of Yizhuang quickly.

Kang Xu walked back and forth around the bones a few times, more sure of what he thought.

Half an hour later. Xiao Wu walked in with Tao Zhengzhu.

The face of the pottery bamboo is pale and described as withered. The whole person looks very decadent.

"Master Li, I don't know why you called me here?" Tao Zhenzhu asked weakly.

Kang Xu didn't talk nonsense. Instead, he asked directly: "Brother Tao, let me ask you, can Master Shangshu know martial arts?" ”

Tao Jizhu didn't seem to expect him to ask this question, but after thinking about it, he still replied, "No." ”

Kang Xu nodded, and then asked, "Is there a disability on Lord Shangshu?" ”

Tao Jizhu was stunned, he looked at Kang Xu with some confusion, shook his head and said, "The teacher has always been physically strong, and there is no disability. Master Li, why are you asking this? ”

A smile rose at the corner of Kang Xu's mouth, he took Tao Jizhu to the case, pointed to the bones and said, "Brother Tao, please look, this corpse is the one we found in the swamp." There are obviously a lot of scars on the bones, and these scars should all be caused by sharp weapons, and if you look at this again, there are still signs of fractures in this person's right arm. ”

Tao Zhenzhu was confused at first, and seemed to be immersed in grief, and did not care about the situation of the bones, but when he heard what Kang Xu said, he suddenly realized something.

"You're saying that this skeleton may not be a teacher?" Tao Zhenzhu looked excited, suddenly grabbed Kang Xu's arm, and shook it in disbelief.

"Before, I was just guessing, but after asking Brother Tao, I can be sure that this corpse is definitely not Lord Shangshu." Kang Xu said quite confidently.

Tao Zhenzhu was excited, but he quickly calmed down, after all, this matter is very important, he took a deep breath, stared at the bones and looked back and forth a few times, still a little unable to believe what Kang Xu said.

He is just a Confucian student, and he doesn't know anything about the way of autopsy, so how can he see the meaning of the scars on the bones?

After hesitating for a moment, he still expressed the doubts in his heart: "These scars may also be left by the murderer when he was tortured, how can you be sure that this corpse is not a teacher?" ”

"Because these scars are all old wounds." Kang Xu smiled slightly: "You also said that Lord Shangshu is in good health and is not disabled, and the injury on the left arm of this corpse is a few years old, so how can it be Lord Shangshu?" ”

"You're saying it's possible that the teacher is still alive?" Tao Jizhu's dim eyes suddenly rose with a hint of brilliance, and he grabbed Kang Xu excitedly and asked.

"It's possible." Kang Xu groaned, repeated his previous speculation to him, and continued, "I think it might be like this. After Lord Shangshu drank tea in the tea shed, he accidentally found the two people who were sneaky, so he secretly followed, but he didn't expect to find that the two were throwing corpses. Lord Shangshu was surprised, but was found by the person who threw the corpse and was taken captive. ”

Tao Zhenzhu's eyes widened, what Kang Xu said seemed reasonable, but he was still a little puzzled: "But why is there a long robe worn by a teacher on the corpse?" ”

"It may be that the murderer is suspicious for the sake of making us think that the person who died in the swamp is Lord Shangshu." Kang Xu frowned and guessed.

"Great, so the teacher may really be alive! I'm going to gather all the people and do my best to find the whereabouts of my teacher! Tao Jizhu was excited, and after solemnly bowing to Kang Xu, he left Yizhuang in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Tao Zhenzhu disappearing in front of the door, Xiao Wu said with some doubts: "Brother Kang, how can you be sure that Master Shangshu is still alive?" ”

"The place where the body was dumped is located in a remote swamp, and the murderer can be solved on the spot after discovering that Lord Shangshu is following him, and he will be thrown in the swamp together. However, from the tea shed to the swamp, there was no sign of a fight, and there was no trace of blood, so it is very likely that Lord Shangshu is still alive. Kang Xu recalled the situation at the scene and pondered. (To be continued.) )
