As soon as Song Ruilong inquired, he learned that the old man in linen clothes was called Chen Xin'an, a villager from the eighth group of Chenjia Village at the foot of Xianren Mountain, his back was slightly hunched, his eyes were deep-set, his face was wrinkled, and there was a black mole on the tip of his nose, and he looked like he was in his fifties. According to Chen Xin'an, when he was chopping firewood at the foot of Xianren Mountain in the morning, he found a dry well, and there was a person in the well standing upside down in the well. Chen Xin'an saw a lot of blood stains on the wall of the well, so he concluded that the person had died a long time ago, so he went to the county government to report the case. As soon as Song Ruilong heard that it was a murder, he immediately called all the people in the county government and rushed to the scene. At the foot of Xianren Mountain, the dry well was surrounded by thorns and barren grass, and after Song Ruilong arrived at the scene, after checking around the well, he found a person's footprints. There seems to be a human figure imprinted underneath the footprint, and that person is standing. After Song Ruilong asked Su Xianrong to measure the shoe print, Su Xianrong said: "The shoe print is eight and a half inches long, the shoe is wide, the widest part is two inches and five minutes, and the narrow place is one or two inches and one minute." It is a person with relatively large feet. Judging by the depth of the footprints, that person should weigh more than one hundred and fifty pounds. Song Ruilong looked at the footprints he stepped on and said, "Not bad." I am one hundred and thirty pounds, and the footprints I stepped on were more than twice as shallower than this footprint. Su Xianrong said: "However, that person's shoulder must be carrying the deceased." Naturally, his footprints would be much deeper. Song Ruilong called Liu Tianxiong and the others over and said, "Have you found any valuable clues around?" Liu Tianxiong shook his head and said, "No." There was not a drop of blood on the ground, and we suspect that the murderer had stoned the deceased to death in the dry well after pushing him down the dry well. Wei Bixiao walked up to Song Ruilong and said, "The deceased is wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and there are big stones with blood at the bottom of the well. After Song Ruilong felt that everyone couldn't find any clues outside the dry well, he ordered several officials to tie ropes and go down to the bottom of the dry well to pull the dead out of the dry well. Outside the dry well, Zhang Meixian carefully examined the deceased and reported to Song Ruilong: "The deceased is a monk, male. There was a wound in the back, half an inch deep and five inches long, that hurt the bone, but it wasn't fatal. His fatal wound was in the throat, half of his neck was about to be cut off, and the murder weapon should have been a kitchen knife often used by ordinary people to cut vegetables. The wounds on the deceased's back and neck were bandaged with cotton cloth, and it was supposed that the murderer was afraid that the deceased's blood would flow halfway, so the murderer stopped the deceased's bleeding. He had no shoes on his feet, and the soles of his feet were covered with traces of blood from stones, indicating that the deceased had run a long distance with his bare feet before he was killed. There is also the fact that the clothes of the deceased were the clothes worn by ordinary people, and besides, the deceased's belt was not fastened, and his pants almost fell to the ground. There are many scars on his body that were smashed by large stones, which indicates that the deceased was thrown into a dry well by the murderer at least five times after being thrown into a dry well. Judging from the corpse spots and the temperature of the corpse, the deceased was killed on the third to fourth watch. Song Ruilong carefully checked the deceased's body again, and said to Su Xianrong beside him: "The wound on the deceased's back is very deep, which shows that the murderer is a person with very strong arms, and he can cut off a bone in people's back with an ordinary kitchen knife, which also shows that the person hates the deceased very much, and the degree of hatred can be described as drinking blood and eating meat." We can also see from the wound on the throat of the deceased that the murderer's shot was not only ruthless, but also very accurate, which indicates that the murderer may have been a person who had practiced martial arts. After Su Xianrong also inspected the corpse, he said, "I'm thinking, what evil did this deceased do to make the murderer so angry with him?" Song Ruilong smiled and said, "Have you seen the belt around the deceased's waist?" Su Xianrong shook his head and said, "His belt has long been lost." Song Ruilong asked, "Then let me ask you when he lost his belt?" Su Xianrong shook his head and said, "How can I think of this?" Song Ruilong said: "This monk must be a flower monk, he must have taken advantage of someone's wife at night, and was later discovered by that person's husband, so the woman's husband raised a kitchen knife and slashed him in the back while the monk was doing something." The monk was in unbearable pain, so he got up from the woman's body, but because it was dark at night, the monk had not yet reacted to what was going on, and the man raised the kitchen knife again and cut the monk's throat with one sword. The monk fell to the ground on the spot. After the man killed the monk, he bandaged the monk's wound with a cotton cloth to prevent the blood from coming out, and then carried him to the dry well. After the man threw the monk down the dry well, he was still angry, so he picked up the big stone next to the dry well and smashed a few stones at the monk. Su Xianrong's eyes flickered a few times and said, "It's like it's true, how do you know that the deceased wants to take advantage of other people's wives?" Song Ruilong asked Su Xianrong to look at the monk's pants and said, "The monk's pants don't have a belt, which means that he took the belt off himself before being hacked by the murderer." So what is it that makes a monk untie his belt? I can't think of anything else other than what I said. Su Xianrong's face flushed, and he said, "Then why couldn't it be the murderer who untied his belt after killing that monk?" Song Ruilong said: "If the monk's belt was taken off by the murderer, then what is his purpose?" Su Xianrong said: "That means that the belt is still at the scene of the crime, can we think that as long as we find the belt on the monk's body, we can find out the murderer?" Song Ruilong said: "It seems like this. However, the most important thing for us now is to understand the identity of the deceased first. Su Xianrong said: "That monk has a ring scar on his head, and the place where he died is so close to Xianren Mountain, maybe he is a monk from Mengzhen Temple." We only need to call one person to Mengzhen Temple, call a monk and ask, isn't it clear the identity of this monk? Song Ruilong looked at Xianren Mountain and said, "You are very right. Also, this monk is tall, at least more than 160 pounds, and the murderer will definitely not go too far with this monk on his back, so the murderer is likely to be someone from Chenjiazhuang or Fanjiazhuang nearby. ”
