On the day of the return of spring, I looked forward to it until the sunset, until the twilight, until the drum of the third watch, and I didn't see the figure of Zhao Xiu, but I looked forward to returning to the canal first.

The eldest grandmother was still quiet in the dead of night and her eyes were shining, and even the emotions that came out of the canal were stirred up a wave of higher and higher waves, and she was floating cross-legged on the arm of Chungui for the first time, like a pair of good girlfriends who were talking for a long time. Even the thumbs up: "I thought that the eldest grandmother was really stumped this time, how do I know that it is still so vigorous and resolute, I turned around, and the eldest grandmother designed Uncle Zhao to personally inquire about this case, and the chief of the chaihu shop heard the news in the evening, and was so shocked that he went around at home, and I listened to him discuss with his son, whether he should return the bribes he received to others, so as to protect himself." ”

Chun Boudoir also sat cross-legged on the bed, and after hearing this, she raised half of her eyebrows: "In this way, the chief of Chai Hu Shop really accepted a bribe to dare to hide this murder case?" ”

"I listened to the conversation between the father and son, the bribe was received by the son, and I don't know the person who gave the money, so I didn't know who to return to him in response to his father's return, but a huge bribe, full of two hundred taels of silver, so the chief dared to hide this tragedy and report a water accident!"

"In this case, the clue is broken here, and we still don't know who the real culprit is." Chungui lamented: "I'm getting more and more confused, it's not easy for someone to get two hundred taels of silver, and it shows that the real murderer is definitely not a neighbor of Chai Hu Pu, is it difficult for Fan Da to make a feud with the rich and noble family?" ”

"This case is indeed even more incredible than the case of Wang Jiugui's family." The canal is also at a loss, and there is no clue.

One person, one soul and two girlfriends have not yet discussed the matter, Lan Ting finally returned to the garden with stars and moons, he saw that Chungui was still sleeping, as if he was not so surprised, but Chungui was not without abruptness for the next conversation, and consciously paved a sentence: "I heard that after Mo Wen Xiaodao came today, I didn't go out and was busy outside for most of the day?" ”

It was already the third watch in the middle of the night, and Lan Ting naturally washed his body full of hot sweat in the bathroom of the outer courtyard, at this time, except for his coat and sitting on the bed, he didn't ask where he heard about Mo Wen's visit, and he talked about the ins and outs of the spring return one by one

come, and the details are very appropriate, the slight is the rhetoric of Mo Wen Xiaodao, and the details are what he has seen and heard.

Because Chun Gui was concerned about the murder of the Fan family, and focused on the autopsy and on-site investigation, she didn't realize the details of Lan Ting's intentions at all, and when she heard about the condition of the bodies of Fan's wife and two sons, she let out a low exclamation.

Lan Ting thought that she was frightened when she heard about these details, after all, even Uncle Shi Shi, a seven-foot man, was bitten in his teeth when he witnessed the autopsy scene, although Chun Gui said that he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, but his account was also very detailed, no wonder Chun Gui was frightened, Lan Ting couldn't help but regret that she only wanted to satisfy Chun Gui's attention to this case, but she ignored that she was a woman after all, and when she heard about such a cruel murder, especially the terrible condition of the body of the deceased person who had been slightly decomposed because of the heat, would she be frightened and afraid.

How do I know, but I heard Chungui say after shouting: "Fan's wife and those two children have clean and no soot in their mouths and noses, and there are no fists on their hands and feet, this is not like being burned to death by a fire, but like being killed and then set on fire!" ”

At this moment, Lan Ting was stunned, and asked for a long time: "How does Huihui know this?" ”

"When I was a child, my father had a volume of records of clearing grievances, and once I happened to turn it out, and when I read the preface, I knew that this book was about how to examine the body, and I felt curious, so I took it to the room and read it carefully, and in the fire death article, I saw that before the deceased died, he was forced by the fire, and he must run and struggle, and his mouth was open and he breathed rapidly, so he would suck the soot into his mouth and nostrils. If the inside of the body's mouth and nose is clean and free of soot, the ten of ** would have died before the fire. ”

Lanting: ......

Well, it seems that he thinks too much, his little wife is indeed not an ordinary person, what an old girl, she has even read the collection of grievances, he hasn't even read this book, you must remember to find it and read it carefully.

Another sentence: "After an inquest, Fan's wife and her two sons were strangled, and the bodies of the three of them were not damaged too much by the fire. ”

"Even if the corpse is burned after being thrown into the fire, the hair of the corpse is charred yellow, the head and face and whole body are charred black, and the skin and flesh are pumped/shrunk and wrinkled, but there will be no blistering and peeling place

The fire burned directly, and the marks of strangulation should be visible on the head. ”

"According to the report, all three were strangled by ropes."

"The corpse has its mouth and eyes open, its palms extended, its hair scattered, its neck cords light and pale in color, its tongue not sticking out or touching its teeth, and the flesh of its neck has traces of fingernail scratches?"

Lan Ting sighed: "That's what I said, if Huihui was born as a man, he would definitely not lose a few points to Song Ti's punishment." ”

Chungui didn't dare to be cheeky this time, and waved his hand again and again: "At most, I will read according to the book, and I will still follow the Song Gongwenlu, I really want me to go to the scene to investigate, but I am afraid that I will not be able to distinguish what traces are strangled by ropes, and I don't know what the traces of fingernail scratching and killing are, after all, the corpse has already shown signs of decay, and it is not easy to accurately judge." ”

After Ziqian, he immediately paid attention to the facts of the case: "Don't just say that Fan's wife and two sons were strangled, what about Fan Da?" Was the cause of his death different? ”

"His body was extremely badly damaged, many places of skin and flesh have been burned and only white bones remain, the detailed cause of death cannot be judged by the corpse alone, but the cause of death of Fan's wife and his two sons can be judged to be strangulation, proving that this case is definitely not a water accident reported by the chief there, so Shi Shishu immediately asked the Yizhuang servants who went to collect the body, they said that Fan Da's body was not on the kang bed at that time, but lying on the indoor ground, and the body was pressed under the collapsed tile roof of the burned beams and columns, and I went to the scene with Uncle Shi and asked the servants to point out the location of the body."

"But do you fan off the dust on the ground where the corpse is left, and pour it with rice vinegar and wine on the clean ground?"

"Yes. As a result, the ground where the corpse was ambushed showed bright red bloodstains. ”

"The top ten ** of Fan Da's life were killed by the blade first, and the murderer's body was burned, pretending to be burned to death." Chungui frowned.

Lan Ting didn't want to talk nonsense about compliments this time, reached out and patted Chungui on the shoulder twice, and gave her a thumbs up.

"Who did Fan Da have such a grudge with? caused the murderer to kill him all over the house! Chungui asked Lan Ting again: "Did Uncle Shi ask the neighbors, and what did the neighbors say?" ”

Lan Ting then talked about the turmoil in the neighborhood Rhubarb's attempt to stop the official office from inspecting the scene.
