Chapter 176: Clues
Outside the work room, King Yu and Lu Hua waited for almost two hours, and their faces gradually became a little anxious.
Xu Rui took a few servants for an autopsy, but he never came out, Yuwang and Lu Hua were not from criminal names, so they didn't follow in, only Liu Haofei, who returned from the investigation, insisted on accompanying him, and there was no news yet.
Just as the two of them were waiting impatiently and were about to send someone in to see the situation, the door of the room finally opened, first An Ge walked out with a big box on his back, and then Liu Haofei and Liu Yi also walked out with a group of servants.
The servants were full of shock, looking at Xu Rui's eyes with awe, Liu Haofei's face was a little blue, and there was a trace of filth at the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped clean, as if he had just been drunk and vomited.
As soon as they saw everyone coming out, King Yu and Lu Hua greeted them, and the servants hurriedly saluted the two and left in a hurry.
"Haofei, what are you?"
Seeing that Liu Haofei's face was too bad, Lu Hua couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Liu Haofei looked at Xu Rui's casual back, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Xu's means of autopsy are really ...... Superb, Xia Guan is an eye-opener today. ”
After carefully observing all the corpses, Xu Rui dissected more than a dozen corpses one after another, not just cutting them open and looking at them like ordinary people, but completely and thoroughly dissecting them, and even taking out every internal organ for a special observation.
The whole process was extremely shocking, and Liu Haofei vomited three or four times in succession, almost vomiting out bitter bile.
Thinking that the simple and easy-to-use crayons and pencils were placed on his desk, Liu Haofei, the Danqing Holy Hand, couldn't connect Xu Rui in front of him with the young man in Tianbao Pavilion.
"The result?"
King Yu didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly asked Xu Rui about the result.
Xu Rui sighed: "There are some discoveries, but there are more doubts." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Yuwang frowned.
Xu Rui explained: "This case involves a wide range of questions, and it is full of suspicions, just like a clueless thread, if you want to unravel this thread, you must find an entry point, first sort out a line, and then use this line to string together all the suspicious clues, and the case will slowly become clear."
It is said that it is better to find out the clues behind such cases first, so as not to go astray.
However, due to the complexity of the background of this case, if I start from this aspect, it will be like a tiger biting the sky, and there is no way to start with it, so I choose to start with the case itself. ”
Listening to Xu Rui's eloquent words, Lu Hua and Liu Haofei were stunned.
"Lord Xu, dare to ask you if you knew the name of the criminal before?"
is the so-called expert gatekeeper, thinking of Xu Rui's professional skills and courageous appearance when dissecting the corpse, and listening to his meticulous logic in solving this case, Liu Haofei, who is proficient in criminal names, suddenly felt that Xu Rui seemed to have been immersed in this way for many years, so he asked this question.
Xu Rui shook his head with a smile: "Xia Guan has not participated in any criminal matters, but the truth of the world is a universal way, and only by finding the right way can you get into it." ”
Is it really the first time he's investigating a case? Such a talent is simply terrifying!
Liu Haofei was shocked in his heart and was in awe of Xu Rui.
"Brother Xu continued, what did you find?"
Yuwang couldn't wait to ask.
Xu Rui said: "In my opinion, there are several bizarreties in this case, and they are also the biggest doubts in this case.
First, judging from the comparison between the confessions of the maid and the neighbor and the autopsy, the last time I heard the movement of the Tang family was six minutes in the hour, and the time of death of the corpse should be eight minutes in the morning at the latest, so the murderer's murder time was only two minutes (half an hour).
In such a short period of time, how did the murderer kill more than a hundred people, and still do it without knowing it?
Second, even if it is a first-class master in the world, it is probably impossible for him to kill without leaving any internal and external injuries on the corpse, how did the murderer do it?
Third, why did the murderer go to great lengths to arrange the crime scene like this? What was his purpose, or motive?
In addition, Feng Jin said that the Tang family was haunted two months ago.
The theory of haunting naturally needs to be verified, but it is inevitable that some unknown things have happened in the Tang family, what is that thing? And what does it have to do with the tragedy?
The answer to all this may only be found in the corpse, but the answer does not stay on the corpse forever, and many traces will disappear forever if they are examined too late. ”
Lu Hua suddenly said: "So Master Xu is in such a hurry to conduct an autopsy, so what did you find?" ”
Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "I found out that Tang Jiuguang committed suicide!" ”
"What?!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and they really couldn't accept this conclusion.
In fact, Xu Rui himself couldn't believe this conclusion, Tang Jiuguang's body was different from others, he didn't have any external injuries on the surface, and there was no obvious poison reaction in his body.
Limited by technical means, the world is unable to analyze the chemical composition remaining in the corpse, but most of the poisons in this world are arsenic, which is easy to identify.
Unless there is a chemically synthesized poison that surpasses this era, there is a high probability that Tang Jiuguang was poisoned.
In addition, his fingernails were left with the fibers of hemp rope, most of which were left by clutching the rope while struggling, and there were repeated strangulation marks on his neck, and the angle of the strangulation marks was the same as that of a typical hanged person.
In other words, he was hanged alive in a fully conscious state, but there was no evidence left on his body that was sufficient to prove that he had resisted or otherwise harmed, so it could basically be concluded that Tang Jiuguang committed suicide.
If it's just like this, it may be bizarre to say that Tang Jiuguang committed suicide, but it is not completely unacceptable, and what is even more puzzling is that the wife and personal maid who were also hanged did not even have traces of struggle on their bodies.
They did not resist at all even when they were hanged, not even reflexive physical self-preservation.
This shows that they were already unconscious when they were hanged.
As for the other dead who died, Xu Rui sampled and examined seven or eight of them, and as described in the dossier, there were no external injuries, no internal injuries, and no toxic reactions, except for some rashes, there was almost no damage, as if the soul was suddenly taken away by black and white impermanence, and he died like this.
Xu Rui wasted a long day to explain his discovery clearly in the language of this era, and the three of them shook their heads again and again.
"Brother Xu, do you really believe in the theory of female ghosts asking for their lives?"
After listening to Xu Rui's analysis, King Yu muttered a question.
Xu Rui shook his head: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, if I say that there are ghosts, the ghosts in that person's heart are probably countless times more terrifying and cruel than real ghosts."
Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, no matter how clever the means, there will always be flaws, as long as you search carefully and analyze rationally, you will definitely be able to find clues. ”
"Well said!"
Lu Hua stroked his palms and laughed: "The so-called evil does not prevail over the good, the old man has believed in this principle all his life, Lord Xu really said the voice of the old man, I don't know what Lord Xu plans to do next?" ”
Xu Rui said with a smile: "If you listen to it, you will believe it and believe it secretly, and it is not only the corpse that can speak, since the corpse did not tell us the truth, then if the three adults do not object, I want to hear what other people have to say." ”
"What other people say?"
Liu Haofei was slightly stunned and asked, "I don't know who Lord Xu wants to listen to?" ”
"The scene of the crime!"
Xu Rui smiled faintly, as if he had found his way.
