Xiao Jiading patted him on the shoulder and said, "If Liu Xianling is uncomfortable, you can go down and wait, and I can investigate the scene with Huang Zhutou." I'll get back to you later. ”

Liu Xianling couldn't wait for this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's hard work!" Then he went downstairs.

Although Huang Zhutou has been an old catcher for many years, he has not seen many bloody scenes, and his face is a little abnormal.

Xiao Jiading didn't walk in in a hurry, he stood at the door and took a closer look at the scenes in the house first. The windows are closed and there are no signs of breakage.

Xiao Jiading glanced around and found that there seemed to be a poem written on the wall in the boudoir, but because there was only one lamp in the room, he couldn't see what was written on it.

When he came up, he had already taken a lantern from Soap Li's hand, and carried it in, he avoided the places on the ground that might leave traces, until he reached the corpse of the male named Xiao Soul in front of the bed, and squatted down to inspect it. The man's face was calm, as if he had not suffered much before he died. His shirt was still neat, but his pants were half down his legs, and most of his lower body was bare. In the palm of his hand was a single knife, the blade of which was covered with blood. There's a pair of scissors stuck in my heart. The entire blade of the scissors had been inserted into his heart.

When I got up and looked at the woman on the bed again, her skirt was lifted up, and the pants inside were faded to the crook of her legs. The lower body is exposed, but there is no sign of rape. It is estimated that the thief was stabbed in the heart with a pair of scissors before he could do it. Before he died, the thief also hacked the victim to death. Both died in the house.

There is nothing to solve in this case. It's obvious.

Xiao Jiading picked up the lantern, walked to the wall in front of the inside, raised the lantern to look at the handwriting on the wall, it turned out to be a poem, the pen walked the dragon and snake, it was very chic and flying, and it was written:

Jiangnan can pick lotus. Lotus leaf He Tian Tian.

Between the lotus leaves, the lotus leaves are west,

Fish play lotus leaves in the south, fish play lotus leaves in the north.

This poem is written in a fresh and refined way, and it vividly depicts the fish swimming in the lotus leaves, one moment here and the other there. Although there are several sentences that are almost repetitive, it is this repetition that vividly reproduces the scene of fish swimming leisurely around the lotus leaves.

Xiao Jiading admired in his heart: Unexpectedly, this old man's daughter turned out to be a talented woman. To be able to write such vivid poems. It's a pity that he was killed by a thief.

Xiao Jiading turned to look at the corpse of the lewd thief on the ground, and wanted to chop this violent beast a few more times to get angry.

Looking at this corpse, Xiao Jiading's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of one thing,—— didn't Tongyun ask himself to find out the real murderer and avenge her aunt? In fact, the real murderers should be Princess Lu and Zhong Wenbo, one of the two real murderers died and the other disappeared, and the so-called disappearance should have been killed by Princess Yang. In other words, the real culprit no longer exists, and there is no question of finding the real culprit. And this can't be said to Tongyun, since there is a thief here. And the time when he escaped from prison was just before the Spring Festival, which coincided with the time when Jixian Shitai was killed. Why don't you let him be a substitute for the dead and close the case? It can also be regarded as a favor for Liu County.

So, Xiao Jiading said to Huang Zhutou who was standing at the door: "You go down and ask him to come up and investigate!" ”

Huang Zhutou hurriedly agreed. Turn around and go downstairs.

Listening to the footsteps, Xiao Jiading immediately took out the relics of Zhixian Shitai from his arms, and put the thin Buddhist scripture booklet inside into the arms of the lewd thief Xiao Soul.

Just packed up. Then I heard footsteps coming up.

Xiao Jiading jumped to the back of the door, stepped out of the door, and stood outside the door, waiting for them to come up.

Huang Zhutou appeared at the staircase with two servants, and when he saw Xiao Jiading standing there with his hands behind his back, he bent his waist and said, "The servants are here." ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Let's go in and investigate, it should be a thief who sneaked into Miss's boudoir, was stabbed to death by Miss, fought back when he was dying, and killed Miss." ”

Huang Zhutou also followed: "Yes, yes! That's how it should be. ”

After the two servants gave Xiao Jiading a gift, they went in and began to investigate. Check one and register the other.

The first thing to be examined was the corpse of the thief Xiao Soul on the ground. They took out all the relics from the corpse and put them on the ground.

Huang Zhutou, who was standing outside the door, suddenly sighed, stared at the thin Buddhist scripture, and said, "What is this?" Take it for me to see. ”

He hurriedly handed the Buddhist scripture to Huang Zhutou.

Huang Zhutou opened the cover and looked at it, and slowly read: "Qingfeng An, ...... Zhixian?" He thought about it, and suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said to Xiao Jiading: "Oh, this Buddhist scripture is the stuff of Master Zhixian of Qingfeng Nunnery!" How is it in this whore? ”

Xiao Jiading deliberately pretended to be very surprised: "Really? How could that be in the body of this whore? Don't......? ”

"He was the one who killed Jihyun-sang! Snatched the sutra from her! - Ha Lu Ha! It turns out that it was this lewd thief who killed Jihyun Shitai! We're really mistaken! That's great! I will immediately tell Liu Xianling the news, he must be happy to die! ”

With that, Huang Zhutou rushed downstairs. After a while, Liu Xianling came up with the Buddhist scripture, and he was also excited, and said to Xiao Jiading: "It turns out that this lewd thief killed Zhixian Shitai!" Sure enough, we made a mistake, Xiao Zhiyi, fortunately you corrected this case, otherwise it would be a great sin to kill someone by mistake. ”

Xiao Jiading was also very happy, and with a little pride, he said: "This is also luck." I didn't expect it to be this lewd thief! ”

At this time, he had already stripped off the clothes and pants of the thief Xiao Soul on the ground for an autopsy. The corpse had no external injuries other than the scissors stuck in the heart. He pulled out the scissors and collected them as physical evidence. Then he began to examine the corpse of Master Qu's daughter on the bed.

Liu Xian Ling was still there smirking at the pie that fell from the sky, and Xiao Jiading's gaze casually fell on the wound in the heart of the naked corpse of Xiao Soul on the ground. Suddenly, with a sigh, he walked over with the lantern in his hand, crouched down, and examined the wound.

The wound was opened, the wound margin was neat, and there was no inter-tissue bridge in the wound cavity, which was undoubtedly a sharp wound. To Xiao Jiading's surprise, the wound angles on both sides of the wound were sharp and blunt! This should be formed by a single-edged sharp object, if the scissors are pierced with a piece, this kind of trauma can be formed, but the scissors are obviously pierced into the double piece, and it should be blunt on both sides, how can it form such a wound cavity as a blunt and sharp?

He took the scissors and slowly reinserted them into the wound, and suddenly, his brow tightened,—— the scissors were inserted all the way to the double handle, but there was still some whiskers on both sides of the wound. In other words, the window of the wound is larger than the width of the scissors!

How so?

In the case of double-edged or single-edged knives, a wound larger than the width of the blade may be formed if the knife is dragged. However, this is not the case with blunt objects, and generally speaking, even if there is a dragging action, it will not form a wound wider than the width of the murder weapon.

In addition, because the muscles contract to a certain extent, the wound may be slightly narrower than the width of the murder weapon when observed. And this wound is wider than the width of the murder weapon scissors!

Could it be that this wound was not caused by scissors? Someone faked the scene of the crime?

Xiao Jiading thought about it, looked up, and found that there was a small desk in the bedroom, on which were placed the four treasures of the study. So he walked over, picked up a pen from the pen holder, walked back and squatted, turned the brush upside down, slowly inserted it into the wound, until it touched the bottom, and then stuck the brush with his hand, pulled it back, compared it with the blade of the scissors, and was taken aback. - The brush inserted into the wound cavity is half as long as the blade of the scissors!

How is this possible? The scissors are inserted with the entire blade inserted all the way to the hilt, and it is impossible to go any deeper. Now this situation can only show one problem, that is, the wound on the heart of the deceased Xiao Soul was not caused by scissors! Someone faked the scene!

Xiao Jiading's inspection attracted the attention of Liu Xianling and Huang Zhutou, who squatted beside him and watched him test, and when Xiao Jiading compared the brush inserted into the wound cavity with the scissors, they also understood what Xiao Jiading wanted to test. I was stunned to see the inconsistency between the two.

Huang Zhutou said to Xiao Jiading: "The one who killed Xiao Soul was not the eldest lady of the Qu family?" ”

Xiao Jiading didn't speak, he needed to find more evidence. His gaze fell on the single knife in the hand of the deceased Xiao Soul. The tip of the single knife is also blunt and sharp, but it is a kind of triangle, no comparison, just visual inspection can know the Dao, if you want to use this knife to insert so deep, the wound should be at least as big as the current three! Therefore, it was not formed by this single knife, and this single knife was not the murder weapon that killed Xiao Soul.

Just as Xiao Jiading's gaze was about to move away, he immediately stopped again, and his gaze fell on Xiao Soul's outstretched palm. I couldn't help but sigh again.

Liu Xianling and Huang Zhutou knew that he must have found something, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Xiao Jiading nodded: "According to our previous reasoning, when the lewd thief Xiao Soul entered the room and tried to rape the eldest lady of the Qu family, she stabbed her in the heart with scissors, and Xiao Soul fought back before dying and hacked the eldest lady of the Qu family to death with a knife. Right? ”

Liu Xianling and Huang Zhutou both nodded.

"If so, Xiao Soul was stabbed in the heart, and if the heart was pierced, he would die in a very short time. And sudden death is also prone to spasms, so that you can hold on to the things in your hands tightly. But ......" Xiao Jiading pointed to Xiao Soul's spread palm, "his palm is spread out weakly, and this is not quite in line with common sense." Of course, this is not absolute, and there are cases where sudden death does not occur spasms. ”

Xiao Jiading stood up and carried the lantern to inspect the scene in detail again, including the floor and walls. Suddenly, he froze in front of the wall in front of the back, holding up the lantern and taking a closer look. (To be continued......)
