Song Ning and Zhao Yi went to the house of their aunt who had been stolen.

Her man and son went out to do business, and her daughter-in-law took her grandson and granddaughter back to her parents' house.

She didn't dare to sleep after something was stolen.

Song Ning stopped in the courtyard and asked, "What do you call your aunt?" ”

"My husband's surname is Cui, and my mother's surname is Ma." Cui Ma said, "My lord, you said at the time that the scene of the crime should not be moved, and it should be kept as it is and wait for the government to come to inspect it, so the women have not moved." ”

Song Ning and Zhao Yi glanced at each other, and both showed a smile of relief, and Zhao Yi said to her: "Your popularization of law is useful." ”

"Yes!" Song Ning said to Cui Ma's, "Auntie, you did a good job." If you see someone like this happen to you in the future, remind them as well. ”

Cui Ma was overjoyed, blushing and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we will remember what you said." ”

"Okay." Song Ning nodded, and began to inspect the scene with Zhao Yi and Wang Qingtong.

After Cui Ma's accounting, a total of seven pieces of jewelry were lost, worth about six taels of silver.

The opposite son's and daughter-in-law's rooms were also flipped, but because the daughter-in-law was not at home, it was unclear what things had been lost.

The deadbolt of the gate was pried, and Zhao Yi took the deadbolt off and asked Cui Mashi: "There is a replacement at home, let's take it back." ”

She also brought back the deadbolt of Gao Huan's house.

"Yes, yes!" "I've asked someone to bring a message to my son and the man, and he'll be back tonight." ”

Zhao Yi bowed.

Song Ning checked it and found a fresh and complete left footprint on the side of the dresser on the ground, which did not belong to Cui Ma's: "Have you ever entered anyone else in your room from yesterday to now?" ”

"My lord, definitely not. This must have been left behind by the thief. "He's standing here stealing something from my dresser." ”

"There's actually a footprint." Song Ning's eyes lit up, it was the first time she had seen such complete footprints at the scene of the crime.

She pressed the softness of the ground in a few places, got up not far from the footprints, and stepped on her own footprints, then lay on the ground to observe, and said to Zhao Yi, "Zhao Zhutou, you come and step on it." ”

"Left, right?" Zhao Yi looked at her lying on the ground and asked softly.

Song Ning pointed back to the left: "On the left." ”

Zhao Yi left footprints on the left.

"Uncle Wang, come and step on it."

Wang Qingtong was a little nervous, and he also stepped on the left side of Zhao Yi's footprints.

Song Ning blew the fire fold and observed the footprints of the four feet, and said, "How heavy do you weigh Zhao Zhutou?" ”

Zhao Yi returned his weight, and Wang Qingtong also said.

Song Ning sat up from the ground and said, "Give me my pen and paper." ”

Zhao Yi handed her the pen and ink.

Song Ning sat cross-legged on the ground and began to write and draw.

Everyone couldn't understand it, even Zhao Yi didn't understand it, but her expression was both excited and focused, Zhao Yi looked at it, and her heart melted......

Cui Ma was dumbfounded, and the neighbors who followed the door to see the excitement were also dumbfounded, looking in through the open window.

"What's the math?" Zhao Yi saw that she had stopped writing and couldn't help asking.

Song Ning bowed: "Through the comparison of the depths of the four footprints, I roughly estimated that the height of the other party was about 1.74 to 76 meters...... Between five feet eight and nine inches,"

"The weight is similar to Uncle Wang, about eighty-five pounds." Song Ning converted the difference between the two catties, and the big one catty was sixteen taels.

Song Ning said: "This person's feet are about eight inches long, his height is five feet eight inches, and his weight is eighty-five to ninety pounds, which is on the thin side. ”

Zhao Yi was surprised, and squatted down to observe the ground like her: "You calculated it through footprints?" ”

"Hmm." Song Ning stood up, patted the ashes on his body, and said, "You can sort out the habitual thieves here first." ”

In many state capitals, thieves have their own rules in the dark, the division of urban areas, the time and method of stealing, and the rules of theft.

You can't break the rules, and you can't go to other people's territory and steal.

Therefore, as long as you find the leader in this territory, and then tell the other party about his height and appearance, it should be very convenient to find this person.

"How?" Zhao Yi was curious.

Song Ning looked at him: "Do you want to learn?" ”

Zhao Yi bowed.

"I have a formula to estimate by the depth of the footprint and the length of the foot, which is not bad at all, but now our measuring tools are not so accurate, and the rounding is also accurate." Song Ning said, "I'll teach you when I get home." ”

Zhao Yi said: "Okay." ”

She stood in front of him, and Zhao Yi took her sleeve and patted her on the dust.

The people inside and outside the door also looked incredulous, and Cui Ma asked, "My lord, so you said that the scene is very important?" ”

"Yes, the site is very important." Song Ning came out and said to more than a dozen neighbors in the yard, "Of course, I hope everyone can have a safe and smooth life, but if you really encounter such a thing, don't panic, protect the scene and immediately go to the official to ask the government to come." ”

For the first time, everyone really saw the importance of protecting the scene emphasized by Song Ning in his speech.

Through a footprint, you can judge the height, weight, and gender of the other party.

Of course, this is important.

"My lord, we remember."

Song Ning bowed his head: "Two cases, if you have clues, no matter how big or small, you can go to the yamen to tell us." ”

"Don't think we're going to be impatient, you're helping, how can we dislike the impatience of the helpers?" Song Ning said with a smile.

Everyone should be yes.

"Auntie, when your family comes back, calculate the specific items that were stolen, make a list and send them to the yamen." Song Ning said.

Trema's should be.

"Gone." Song Ning, Zhao Yi and Wang Qing came out together.

Wang Qingtong said: "My lord, are there any footprints in Gao Huan's house, do you want your subordinates to go back and take a look?" ”

"No need, I've already seen it, and there are no footprints." Song Ning said.

Committing crimes indoors, and there is no rain, it is difficult for cloth shoes to leave footprints that can be distinguished by the naked eye on the flat and dry mud floor.

Wang Qingtong hung his head dejectedly: "...... But when I go to the scene later, my subordinates also know about it, so I must stay and wait for you to come. ”

Song Ning should be.

Zhao Yi also said: "If you calculate, should the hardness of the ground also be taken into account?" ”

"Yes. If you are in soft mud and sand, the depth of the footprints and the hard ground are definitely different. Song Ning said.

Zhao Yi was thoughtful.

"The prince figured it out?" Song Ning looked at him in surprise.

"I understand your calculation ideas, but I still need you to teach me how to calculate." Zhao Yi said.

Song Ning admired him too much, looked at him and said enviously: "Lord Wang, give me a chance to take apart your brain and take a look." ”

"Why?"

"I want to see if smart people have different brains than others." Song Ning said.

Zhao Yiwan.

The three of them returned to the yamen to rest for a while, and Zhao Yi asked, "Are you planning to do another autopsy?" ”

"Yes." Song Ning said, "I have a few doubts, and after I find his family, I will prepare to conduct an autopsy." ”

Zhao Yi didn't want to learn such a skill, but still asked, "Do you want me to help?" ”

Song Ning looked at her sideways in surprise, he didn't avoid the expression of resistance, but the slight frowning brow still revealed his emotions.

She smiled and said, "The new corpse, someone can help me record it, you can go with your business." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yiying was still very fast, "I'll go check on the thieves last night, and then let Yan Feng and Fu Yu go to Yangxin." ”

Song Ning also has this plan: "Then leave other things to the prince, and I will concentrate on the autopsy." ”

"Hmm." He paused slightly, glanced at her, and saw Song Ning who understood him very well and came up to him and said, "Lord Wang, you are now humble, studious and capable, amazing." ”

Zhao Yi's eyebrows were full of smiles: "I've always been powerful, it's just that you didn't find me good." ”

Song Ning couldn't help but laugh when he saw him laughing.

Zhao Yi pursed his lips, the tips of his ears slightly red.

Wuxian, who was sitting on the side and writing, looked at the two people with strange expressions.

Song Ning returned to the room, Shen Wenyu was coming back from outside, Song Ning saw him and asked, "Did you go out to do something?" Didn't see you in the morning. ”

"Oh, I went to the academy to take a look, after all, it's time to start teaching officially." Shen Wenyu asked, "There is a case in the morning, what is the situation?" ”

Song Ning handed him the autopsy: "It just so happens that you are back, accompany me to work." ”

"Only you can make a note for me."

Shen Wenyu followed Song Ning out while looking at the autopsy: "I suddenly feel that I am a little useful." ”

"You're irreplaceable." Song Ning was carrying the burden, Shen Wenyu took it and said, "Thank you Lord Song for complimenting me and giving me great confidence." ”

The two talked and laughed and left.

Zhao Yi was sitting in the back drinking tea, and suddenly Lu Miaomiao leaned in front of him and said strangely: "Lord Wang, why are you pouting?" ”

After speaking, he learned from Zhao Yi, puffing out his cheeks: "Huh ......"

Zhao Yi retracted his gaze and stared at Lu Miaomiao: "I will send your father and mother back to Langzhong tomorrow, including Lu Qingqing!" ”

"The prince is reluctant!" Lu Miaomiao grinned, "The prince has a hard mouth and a soft heart. ”

Saying that, shaking his head and swinging his tail out, Zhao Yi grabbed the peanuts on the table and threw his head, Lu Miaomiao covered the back of his head and smiled at Zhao Yi: "The prince is a good person, I will help you say good things." ”

Zhao Yi glanced at him: "You don't need to say good things." ”

With his recent experience of reading thousands of books, Song Ning already had him in his heart.

He was very sure.

"Take you to work." Zhao Yi grabbed Lu Miao's collar, "Don't eat and work all day." ”

Lu Miaomiao shouted: "I don't have it, I eat and work." ”

"I've been following the mediation of disputes every day lately."

Song Ning didn't know what was happening in the front yard, she was wearing a smock and ready to do something.

"You just said that when his family comes, you want to dissect, do you want to see the internal organs?" Shen Wenyu looked at the deceased, "Is there any doubt about the cause of death?" ”

Song Ning said: "Yes." ”

"But look at the two ropes around the neck," she said, pointing to the upper one, "this one is a horseshoe-shaped mark typical of a self-hanging, but the lower one is not congested or blistered." ”

Shen Wenyu didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"The following article was not formed during his lifetime." Song Ning said.

Shen Wenyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this just right?" One is the trace of being strangled before death, and the other is the trace of being hanged after death. ”

This is the obvious necrosis of his murder and hanging.

"If you don't cut it open and take a look, you can't draw conclusions." Song Ning and Shen Wenyu said, "So I want to dissect the skin tissue and muscles under the neck for symptoms." ”
