After experiencing the Hai'an Town case, the first thing they suspected was that the people in the martial arts committed the crime, but Duan Fei didn't come to a conclusion so quickly, he took a turn in the room, it was dog days now, and the weather was hot and humid from morning to night, so the north and south windows in the room were always open, and the murderer could easily enter the house, but the outer wall was as high as three meters, and it was a little difficult to climb in without leaving any marks.

Duan Fei came to the courtyard outside the house again, he carefully observed the blood stains on the ground and the traces of the fight, only to see that there were also a little blood stains outside the house, extending from the main house to the door of the side room, and Duan Fei also found a vague footprint that was easy to ignore on the main door of the main house.

Duan Fei carefully observed the shape of the blood droplets, his heart suddenly moved, he looked at it carefully again, to make sure that he was not mistaken, and then came to the wall, and along the root of the wall, he finally found a footprint that was only about three inches long, which obviously could not have been left by the deceased or his old servant.

Seeing this little footprint, Shi Bin blurted out and exclaimed, "Could it be that the murderer is a female thief?" ”

"Don't jump to conclusions." Duan Fei glared at him and said, "The woman with her feet can't walk steadily, is it possible to jump three meters over the wall?" ”

Shi Bin sneered and hid to the side, Duan Fei glanced at the catchers, pointed at one of them, and said, "You, come to me." ”

The catcher came to Duan Fei inexplicably, Duan Fei called the pretendrant again, handed him a short stick, and said, "You give me a comparison, how the murderer's three knives stabbed in, pay attention to the angle and don't make a mistake." ”

Seeing that the catcher was about the same height as the deceased, he understood what Duan Fei meant, and immediately took the short stick and gestured.

After the comparison, everyone learned that the first two knives of the three knives were stabbed into the chest of the deceased from the bottom up, but the third knife was from the top down, so Duan Fei had a bottom in his heart, he suddenly turned around and said: "Lord Zhang, I already know the general situation of the murderer and the process of killing, the murderer should be two people, one of them is short, it may be a dwarf or a child, he is responsible for sneaking in and stealing, the other person is about seven feet tall, the hole is powerful, the tall and strong one throws the short one into the wall, and the short one is found by the master when he enters the window and steals, After escaping and pushing the deadbolt to open the door, the tall man drew his knife and rushed out to the deceased, the deceased once ran to the side room next to him to try to wake up the servant for help, but he did not expect the servant to slip out of the side door to gamble money, he had to resist while fleeing back to the main room, and tried to close the door to stop the theft, but was kicked open by the tall murderer and chased into the room and stabbed three times to death. ”

This analysis finally made Zhang Zhengsong a little moved, he said: "Yes, Duan Zhutou is really smart, but I still have some questions, the height of the murderer has been deduced, but how did you deduce the murder process as if you witnessed it?" ”

Duan Fei said: "I'll explain this to the adults later, now please order the murderer to be arrested first, there are two murderers, one of them is about seven feet tall and strong, and the other is at most three feet tall, a dwarf or a child, both men and women are possible, they may be jugglers, at least yesterday they had a life in the square we passed by just now, the most likely is an artist who walks on stilts, climbs poles and the like, anyone with a similar body shape and can make the body more than three meters tall, can be brought back for questioning, and, The murderer is very vicious, and those who go to arrest him should pay attention to their own safety. ”

Zhang Zhengsong assigned the order, and Duan Fei explained to him: "My lord, the blood on the ground can not only tell us the route of the deceased when he escaped, but also tell us the direction in which he is going. ”

Zhang Zhengsong looked carefully at the blood stains on the ground, and Duan Fei said again: "I don't believe that adults can ask someone to bring a bowl of water, we wave our fingers on the ground with water, and the direction of the water trails dripping forward or backward is exactly the opposite." ”

"I understand, Duan Zhutou is observant, and he really deserves the name of God Catcher." Zhang Zhengsong understood when he thought about it, this thing could be discovered with a little attention, but before that, he ignored it.

"God catches? Duan Fei just entered the public gate, how dare he be called this, where did Master Zhang hear this? Duan Fei's eyes widened in surprise.

Zhang Zhengsong said with a smile: "In just one month, several major cases have been solved, and a series of murder cases in Chun'an County, Yangzhou have been solved within three days. ”

"Xia Guan knows what he is, but he is really ashamed." Duan Fei said sweatingly, who wants to harm him, is there such a name? Isn't that pushing him into the crater? How can God catch so good!

Suddenly, there was a cheer from outside the door, and a few people who were caught and twisted with two big flowers ran in happily, and said loudly: "Lord Zhang, Duan Zhutou, the murderer has been caught, and they are still performing in that square, seeing us search all the way, the big man dropped the stake and ran, and the little one who was performing on it was as flexible as a monkey, he jumped down from a height of three feet and was unharmed, and the brothers rushed up together and took down the two of them together." ”

Zhang Zhengsong glanced at Duan Fei with admiration, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this case may be solved by another person, but it may not be so fast, this Duan Fei does have some ability.

"But anyone is hurt?" Duan Fei asked.

The catcher quickly replied, "The brothers were not injured, but when the pole fell, they smashed and injured two people who could not avoid it, and they were all bruises, and they were not in the way." ”

Duan Fei nodded and said: "That's good, Lord Zhang, this case has been solved, and the next matter will be handed over to Shangyuan County to deal with, I'll go to Lord Ma to report my life, does Lord Zhang have any other orders?" ”

Zhang Zhengsong said: "You wait for a while, I will go back with you to explain to Master Ma." ”

Zhang Zhengsong hurriedly asked about the case, the father and son were also happy, and they poured beans into the bamboo tube, and everything was as Duan Fei judged.

The father alternately jacks up high wooden stakes with his chest, shoulders, head, and back, and the son climbs to the top of the pole like a monkey to make difficult moves such as golden rooster independence, attracting onlookers to pay money.

This acrobatics requires both parties to cooperate well and need to have a good sense of balance, so when the two usually walk, the father often carries his son on his shoulders, and even makes a short pole on his shoulders, so that his son can stand high on it, so that he can maintain a sense of balance at any time, and it is very eye-catching. The deceased did not expect that the wall was so high that anyone could see the house, but the father was so obsessed with money that he threw his son over the wall in the middle of the night to steal money, and everything happened unstoppably.

Zhang Zhengsong handed over the prisoner to the Shangyuan County Commander, who had been staying beside him, and returned to the Yingtianfu Yamen with Duan Fei.

Nanjing's official name in the Ming Dynasty is called Yingtian, commonly known as Jinling, in ancient times it was once called Shangyuan County, Taizu built the capital of Yingtian with the Qinhuai River as the boundary, the south is still called Shangyuan County, the north is Jiangning County, all under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu, this case should have been handled by Shangyuan County, but it was mixed up by Duan Fei.

Zhang Zhengsong and Duan Fei together handed over to the prefect Ma Wentao, Zhang Zhengsong praised Duan Fei a lot, Duan Fei was very modest, Ma Wentao heard that the case was solved in an instant, he was very happy, and he looked at Duan Fei even more differently.

How can such talents be idle? Ma Wentao remembered that there were still some backlog of old cases in his government that had not been solved, so he immediately said to Duan Fei with a smile: "Lord Duan, the cracking of this case shows that you are really worthy of the name of God, and this official will definitely ask the Ministry of Officials for credit, but only such a case may be difficult to convince those old men in the Ministry of Officials, so let's do it, there are still some unsolved cases on my desk, you can also help me deal with it, with your ability, of course, this official does not force you to be able to quickly solve the case within a few days, The official plans to transfer you over for reuse, I wonder if you are willing? ”
