When the door was opened, Liu Hua felt that the smell of corpses was even heavier, he looked inside, and found that the roof of this room had collapsed, and the house was full of tiles, beams and dirt, except for the door, there was no way to settle inside.

Seeing this, Liu Hua had to turn back and go out, after walking out of the Wu house, he found that Sun Shidong and Li Tou'er were all gone, just when he was wondering, not far from the tree tied to the horse, Sun Shidong's voice came: "Liu, Brother Liu, you are okay, right?" ”

Following the sound, Liu Hua realized that Sun Shidong and Li Touer had all climbed to the tree where the horse was tethered.

"What are you two doing running into the trees? Come down, I said it, there are no ghosts in this world. After saying this, Liu Hua came to the tree, raised his head and instructed Li Tou'er: "You immediately go to the prefect's yamen, let Huang Zhifu and an adult surnamed Nian come over, remember, let Huang Zhifu send some more people, and then bring some shovels and other tools over." ”

An hour later, Huang Baishan, Nian Qianyao, and more than 30 catchers, under the leadership of Li Tou'er, came to the door of Wu Mansion, and after seeing Liu Hua, Nian Qianyao couldn't help but ask: "Liu Gongzi, you are in such a hurry to find us, did you find something?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Hua nodded: "Yes, I did find some suspicious points, but I need to confirm my judgment, Lord Nian, Governor Huang, please let these catchers take tools and clean up the room closest to the door, there should be clues left by the murderer." ”

Hearing Liu Hua's words, Huang Baishan and Nian Qianyao were all a little stunned, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, they didn't expect Liu Hua to find clues in just one day, this kind of speed of solving the case, this is too fast, right?

After recovering from the shock, Huang Baishan quickly instructed a middle-aged catcher next to him with a cold face, about thirty years old, and a capable expression: "Tong Zhen, do what Liu Gongzi said." ”

"Obedience." After Tong Zhen received the order, he didn't have any extra nonsense, just glanced at Liu Hua with a surprised expression, and then beckoned his subordinates to catch up quickly and go to Wu's house to clean up the room.

More than half an hour later, Tong Zhen led his subordinates to clean up the house that Liu Hua said, and when the last beam was lifted out, suddenly, there was an exclamation from the catcher in the house: "Come and see, there are several corpses in here." ”

After hearing the words of the catcher, Nian Qianyao and Liu Hua immediately entered the Wu Mansion and ran towards the house where the body was found.

The body was found in the kang of the side house, and the people of Yangzhou have the habit of piling up the kang for warmth, and after the kang is piled up, as long as a few firepieces are placed in the winter, the house can be kept warm.

After hiding the female corpses in the kang cave, the murderer demolished the roof of this room and used the collapsed roof to cover up the corpses in the kang cave.

If it weren't for Liu Hua's late night visit to Wu's house, I'm afraid these corpses would continue to be buried here, so that their grievances would not know when they would be washed away?

When the four female corpses were brought out by the arrestees, all the people at the scene covered their noses, it turned out that the four female corpses were buried for a long time? The corpse had begun to decompose, and the foul smell of it made people feel like they wanted to vomit after smelling it.

Liu Hua was used to seeing this kind of scene in his previous life, so he was already somewhat immune to it, and walked to the side of the four corpses with a solemn expression, Liu Hua slowly squatted down, endured the stench emitted by the corpses, and in the surprised and shocked expressions of everyone, he began the on-site autopsy.

Liu Hua first started the autopsy from the head of the deceased, he found the corpse on the very edge, and gently turned the head of the corpse to see if there was a fatal wound to the deceased's head? Then there is the mouth, neck, and other parts of the deceased's body.

Due to the high degree of decay of the corpse, the skin and muscles on the corpse have lost all their tenacity, and when they are turned, as long as the force is slightly too great, the skin and muscles on the corpse will fall off.

On several occasions, when Liu Hua examined the face of the deceased, he would occasionally touch the skin off the deceased's face, and whenever this happened, Liu Hua would pick up the skin and gently put it back on the deceased's face, the expression was so focused, the action was so skillful, and the technique was so professional.

Seeing Liu Hua touch the flesh off the deceased's face and paste it back, everyone at the scene saw goosebumps all over their bodies, even characters like Nian Qianyao, after reading it, they wanted to find a place to vomit.

After about two cups of tea, Liu Hua finished his autopsy work, asked someone to bring a basin of water from the river, and after he washed his hands, he came to Huang Baishan and Nian Qianyao's side: "Two adults, according to the degree of decay of the corpses, I have a preliminary judgment that these four deceased were killed ten days ago.

The cause of death of the four deceased was the same as that of the officials, all of whom were injured in vital parts, mainly in the chest and neck, and in addition, the wounds on the four bodies were exactly the same as those on the bodies of the officials, and it can now be concluded that the murderers of these four people were the same as the murderers who killed the officials before.

The reason why it is said that it is "the same group" rather than "the same person" is that the wounds on the bodies of the two groups of victims are identical, and the parts that caused the death are concentrated in the chest and neck, and in addition, the wounds on these bodies all have traces of overlapping shapes.

This should be a suspect, after killing the victim, another suspect is worried that the wounds on the corpse will attract the attention of the government, so on the premise that the victim is dead, he uses another tool to re-forge the wounds, the purpose of which is to use the wounds on the corpses to interfere with the judgment of the government when the government finds these corpses.

From this point of view, the murderers were a group of ruthless and cautious people, who disguised the wounds on the corpses and hid the corpses in the fire kang in the house, but even so, they were still not at ease, and removed the roof of the house to cover up the corpses.

Because the Wu Mansion is an abandoned house, the previous owner was beheaded by the whole house, therefore, the locals will not come here at all, even if someone comes, they will have preconceived fears and think that this house is ominous, so even if they see the roof of this house collapsed, they will not care, so that the murderer's purpose of killing people and hiding corpses is achieved. ”

After listening to Liu Hua's analysis, Huang Baishan nodded admiringly: "Liu Gongzi is really thoughtful, and he can find clues from the subtleties, and he admires him."

But judging from the current situation, the old man feels even more confused, what is the origin of this murderer? Why did you kill these women? Why did you come to this long-abandoned Wu Mansion to kill people?

Also, when the officials of the prefect's yamen came to check on the Wu Mansion the next day, what did they see? So that all seventeen officials were killed, why would a government official write the words "ghostly ghosts" before he died? ”

Hearing Huang Baishan's series of questions, Liu Hua looked at the peach grove behind Wu's house, and then replied lightly: "Perhaps, the key clues to solve these questions are hidden in that peach grove." ”
