Chapter X

Strangulation, self-hanging and homicide are not the same, the strangulation marks of a person who hanged himself will extend from the neck to the back of the ear, and the position of the tip of the tongue is also different according to the position of the sling, but if someone deliberately murders others, then the strangulation marks are generally parallel and will not be handed over.

Fu Qian's strangulation marks were not a problem at first glance, the hairline marks behind the ears were obvious, and they were indeed caused by self-hanging, which the perpetrator thought about quite thoughtfully, but there was one thing that the murderer failed to notice - the color of the strangulation marks. If the deceased hanged himself, then the blood veins were still flowing when the rope strangled the neck, and the strangulation marks would generally be dark purple, but if it was a deliberately created trace after death, then because the deceased's breathing had stopped, the blood was blocked, and the strangulation marks would be white, and the strangulation marks on Fu Qian's neck were indeed dark purple, but the color behind the ears was much lighter, which was obviously artificially added.

It is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with strangled corpses, and it can be regarded as meticulous if they can notice the difference in the shape of the strangulation marks, and most people do not know the difference in color, and only experienced people can find clues from it.

When Xu Jia inspected Fu Qian's ears just now, he found that although the color disconnection was not obvious, the strangulation marks that originally disappeared from the ears were clearly symbols that only those who were strangled to death.

Obviously, Fu Qian did not commit suicide, he was the scapegoat chosen by the murderer, tightened with a rope, and was sent to them in a grand manner, and the real murderer hid behind the scenes like a snake winding silently in the night, picking open his fangs, waiting to see their group of beam-dancing clowns dancing and celebrating the easy unraveling of the case.

In that case, it was as he wished.

So Xu Jia remained silent, and Zhou Zhi, who saw Xu Jia's intentions, also cooperated tacitly, after all, they were in the open, and the murderer was in the dark, and the murderer chose a scapegoat and closed the case for them personally, which at least shows that he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, which means that he will not kill again, after all, there are not so many murderers who "find their conscience" who will commit suicide to apologize.

And as long as they "admit" that the murderer is Fu Qian, then this case will most likely end here, and there will be no more deaths.

Fu Qian's body has been transported back to the government first, Xu Jia and Zhou Zhi exchanged their thoughts on the road, and they coincided, and then they had to start with Fu Qian's body, hoping to find the clues that the perpetrator had missed.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Zhou Zhi unexpectedly but not so unexpectedly saw a person - Xie Jianmian Xie Gongzi, who had served him for a night yesterday and seduced him at will this morning, Qi Fei was talking eagerly with him on the side, but Xie Jianmian was obviously not very interested, and only nodded or hummed from time to time, probably to give Qi Zhukuai the lowest level of respect.

Qi Fei's stupid boy didn't notice it at all, he was spitting out the waterfall with his throat, as if he had just come out of the deep mountains and old forests and hadn't spoken to anyone for a few years, and his voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly from afar.

"Qi Fei!" Zhou Zhi interrupted Qi Fei's self-care, "It's lazy to transport the corpse back, right?" So idle? ”

Qi Fei saw Zhou Zhi at this time, and didn't understand why his moody boss looked unhappy: "Boss, you're back!" ”

Zhou Zhi nodded, looked at Xie Jianmian with his arms crossed, raised his chin at him, and said, "Master Xie, you don't lie down in the inn, what are you doing when you come to our mansion, are you losing something or being beaten?" ”

Before Xie Jianmian could speak, Qi Fei's active mind suddenly remembered the scene of moral corruption in the morning, and said in his heart that his boss is worthy of being a person who does great things, no matter how affectionate he is at night, he can be unkind during the day, and he is not tied to the world at all, but this little brother Xie is a little miserable, and he is infatuated with Langjun's unintentionality.

At this time, after a moment of getting along, Qi Fei, who was familiar with him, felt that he should be a little more righteous, no matter how powerful the boss was, it was the boss's business, but since he had made Xie Jianmian a friend, he still had to say a word or two.

"That...... Top dog. Qi Fei mustered up the courage that he had accumulated for more than 20 years, and felt that he was really righteous like a warrior in danger, "You are all ...... What's the matter, can't you be gentle with Xiao Xie......"

Zhou Zhi glared: "What is it?" ”

Qi Fei couldn't bear the obscenity, turned around and ran, and the rest of the words drifted out of the majestic gate of the mansion with the wind of Xiao Se.

"You have to be responsible for others!"

Zhou Zhi: "......"

Xu Jia looked puzzled, looking at Zhou Zhi with a thirst for knowledge, Zhou Zhi avoided Xu Jia's scorching gaze with a small flame, and felt tired that there was no innocent, pure and lovely good bird in a huge mansion, but all the sparrow spirits who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they chattered all day long.

Zhou Zhi coughed lightly, and decided to ask the sin of the first master: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Me?" Xie Jianmian pointed at himself with his finger, "I'm not only here today, I'm afraid I'm going to come in the future." You can't help it if you don't want to see it. ”

"Why?"

Xie Jianmian smiled and grabbed the belt he held next week, and the banter in his voice couldn't hide it: "From today on, I will be the arrester of the government office." ”

"Lord Headcatcher, please give me a lot of advice."

What's going on? How did this little thief become a fast catcher, he seemed to be the last one to know, this is a joke with him, right?

"I said that there is no shortage of fast catchers in the government, how did you get in?"

Zhou Zhi looked Xie Jianmian up and down, and felt that there were four big words "power and money trading" written everywhere in this person's body, although he didn't seem to have much power to catch fast.

Zhou Zhi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It's really rich to make ghosts grind." ”

"Concession and recognition."

"What can you do? Good physical strength, can carry corpses? Good eyes, can you see everything? Or do you have a good brain and can find clues that others can't? Zhou Zhi blocked the door of the government office, and decided that the person in front of him was a useless vase.

"Hmm......" Xie Jianmian thought for a while and said slowly, "Probably because I don't want to be paid?" Whatever you do, you'll earn it. ”

Is that okay too?

"Even so, Gongzi Xie, how many murders have you seen? Have you ever seen a headless corpse? Have you ever seen a piece of minced meat? Have you ever seen the bones of a whole pit? ”

Xie Jianmian looked indifferent, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I've seen it." ”

"You've seen a fart!" Zhou Zhiwu gritted his teeth, "Don't blame me when you cry when the time comes, you say that you boys who eat, drink and have fun can't settle down, you have to scare yourself, isn't it a disease of wealth?" ”

Ren Zhou caught his head in the wind and rain to intimidate and threaten, Xie Jianmian was unmoved, still smiling, patting Zhou Zhi's shoulder and bypassing him and entering the mansion.

Xu Jia, who watched the whole thing, had already relied on his strong skills to connect the causes and consequences, and it was absolutely reasonable for the well-mannered scholar to add fuel and vinegar to the article, he glanced at Zhou Zhi deeply, and said in a low voice: "Brother, can't you see it, is this your goodness?" What, quarreled? I looked at this little thanks...... Hmm, it's Xiao Xie, the person is not bad, just look at that face, what are you not satisfied with, come, be generous, quarrel with the bed......"

"Hmm...... You ......"

Zhou Zhi covered Xu Jia's gushing mouth, eager to tie it up with a rope, this person is usually inconspicuous, gentle and polite on the surface, in vain he thought that this person was a righteous gentleman, but he didn't expect it to be so dirty inside!

I really don't know how this little head is so colorful, it's a pity not to write a script.

In the hall of the mansion, Zhang Zeyuan was sitting upright to read the file that had just been submitted, he picked up the porcelain cup on the side, put it down with a sad face as soon as he put it to his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhou Zhi, it's only been three days, and there are two lives left, if this case is not solved, the villagers of Duhe Village will be in panic all day."

"My lord, I understand." Zhou Zhi replied respectfully, "Although there are no other clues in this case, it can be guaranteed that the real culprit should be reined in, and as long as he no longer harms others, we will do our best to arrest him as soon as possible." ”

"It's for the best." Zhang Zeyuan put down the file and said solemnly, "Time can't be any longer, two days, I'll give you two more days, this case should be solved, right?" ”

Zhou Zhi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Zeyuan's face softened a little, and he waved his hand to let Zhou Zhi retreat.

"Okay, it's getting late today, you go back first, and check tomorrow."

"Yes. My lord. ”

Zhou Zhi saluted and walked away slowly with his back on his back, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his back through the open door, like a layer of golden mist, revealing some hazy outlines.

Two days, I agreed unashamedly just now, but Zhou Zhi was not very confident, the two bodies were still lying in the morgue of the mansion, nothing was found except the cause of death, the murderer used two completely different methods of killing, the first time was because of anger, the second time was just to cover up the crime, Fu Qian was only killed as a scapegoat? Is there no other secret?

Why is it Fu Qian, obviously from any aspect, Fu Qian is not the most suitable candidate.

First of all, the place where he lived was close to the entrance of the village, which was obviously not a hidden residence, and there was a short distance from the entrance of the village to the crossing of the river, there was no need to drag the body through most of the village and throw it to the river, it was too easy to be discovered, and it was not necessary at all, it was better to dig a pit and bury it on the spot.

Secondly, there is no conflict between Fu Qian and Gao Yiqiu, at least there is no well-known conflict, if you want to choose a scapegoat, you must choose a convincing one, in contrast, Zheng Danian is more suitable than Fu Qian, after all, almost half of the people in the village believe that Gao Yiqiu's death is inseparable from Zheng Danian, isn't it an excellent choice for such a murderer who was shaped by the three people to be used as a scapegoat, if it was Zheng Danian who left a suicide note today, probably no one would doubt the rationality behind this, If there were, most of them were surprised that such a vicious person would find out in conscience.

Since this is the case, there must be some other reason why Fu Qian was chosen.

Like what...... Thin.
