Chapter 248: Painting a Snake Adds Foot
She said word by word: "You can naturally despise me with your status, just as I can let you see an autopsy at any time." No matter how delicate your skin is now, once you die, you should be like Miss Qiu, maybe I will also help you test it at that time. ”
She's not a calculating person, but she's not a virgin either. If it was just a simple run, she might not care. However, if she insults her father, covets her own man, and wants to detain the crime of using evil magic to kill herself, then don't blame her for turning her face.
Not to mention the faces of those young ladies and ladies for the time being, but to say that Xu Chu, who returned to the side of the body, had already continued to speculate.
During this time, the deceased should have felt such intense pain that she subconsciously straightened her body and her hands were like eagle claws trying to grasp something to support her body. This is the reason why the deceased had local spasms of the corpse. ”
"In addition, I have just looked around, and the place that most matches the traces on both sides of Miss Qiu's waist and back is on this rockery. The rockeries are stacked, but each layer will have a protruding boulder, the top of which is rounded and only two inches in size. Although there are deep and shallow, protruding and concave, the distance between the two places is only six inches long. ”
Li Yanzuo added on the side: "Miss Qiu has two scars on her waist, and the distance between them is exactly six inches. ”
"Doesn't that mean that Miss Qiu died in an accident?"
It should have suddenly hit the convex rock on the rockery, so no one could hear the cry for help or the fight. And the deceased did not have any messy and embarrassed appearance.
Xu Chu shook his head and continued: "You can't simply make such a judgment. Although the scars are most likely caused by accidents, the blood stains in the deceased's mouth that do not belong to him, as well as the scars on his neck, are real. If it cannot be ruled out that the injuries on both sides of the deceased's lower back were caused by her own accidental fall, then this conclusion cannot be made. ”
"Moreover, the deceased had been taken care of after his death. And even the cracks between the nails have been wiped down. These obvious cover-ups are enough to show that someone knows the truth. ”
With that, she crouched down and lifted one of the dead man's hands, and then took a very thin needle and fiddled it between her fingernails. But she carefully inserted the needle under the nail cover, and after a while, she carefully tilted her white and stiff hands over and poured them on the white handkerchief.
In just a few breaths, a few blood beads appeared on the white handkerchief.
No, it should be bloody gravel.
"The deceased was holding on to the mountain with both hands, or when he fell to the ground, he was grasping the ground in pain. Causes the edges of the fingertips to be worn and gravel to sink into the flesh. However, when we conducted an autopsy, we found that the deceased's hands were clean and there was no dust and gravel in the crevices. As she spoke, she asked the deceased to lift up the embroidered shoes, and said slowly, "There are also shoes and clothes, and after a person falls, there will inevitably be marks on the knees or soles of the shoes, but now the bottom of these shoes is not stained with dust." ”
"So there are only two explanations, one is that the deceased came in the clouds, and the clouds and fog played with the young ladies. The second is that someone erased the traces. ”
Xiao Qinglang bowed slightly, obviously, he and Xu Chu thought of a place. However, at this time, he did not say a word. It's not that he doesn't trust Xu Chu, but he believes in her too much, so he doesn't want to disturb her train of thought.
"But isn't that too deliberate? The murderer doesn't need to draw snakes like this. Xu Qinhe's face pondered, "Could it be that before the deceased died, he left traces of the murderer on his body or in his fingernails?" So, forcing the murderer to have to be so. ”
Xu Chu nodded, convinced of his speculation.
The killer did not throw the body or move it deliberately, so there was no intention to cover up the scene of the death. Therefore, Xu Qinhe's inference has become the greatest possibility.
"In addition, there should be someone around the deceased before he dies. In a hurry, the man may have grabbed the deceased's neck. Or, the man was the murderer in the first place, and he was afraid that she would call for help, so he did it again. Xu Chu's tone gradually soothed, and he said briskly, "Of course, there is also the last possibility, that is, the murderer had a quarrel with the deceased, and then unconsciously pushed her, causing her to hit the protruding stone and become addicted to her kidneys." It's just that at that time, she only pretended to be the deceased, so she chased after her and grabbed her neck, pretending to kill her. ”
"If it's the last case, it's an accident."
When her words fell, her eyes glanced at the shivering lady and his wife.
"What does the girl mean is that the person who grabbed the neck of the deceased is either a murderer or a witness?"
Xiao Qinglang recorded the autopsy sheet, and then waved his hand to get a pen, ink, and rice paper to remove the fingerprints on the deceased's neck.
At this time, most of the idlers retreated behind the crowd due to the tolerance of the yamen. Therefore, the situation of the corpse is only half-understood. Later, after being intimidated by Xu Chu, they also retreated again and again, not daring to take another look.
When they heard that the deceased had a handprint on his neck, they breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows, they really want to get things out and get out of this place as soon as possible. Regardless of whether they offend Lord Zhizhou or not, they will never camp like this in the future anyway.
Xu Chu did not stop the guards from extending their fingerprints, but she also knew that this was only useless. In this day and age, it is really troublesome to not be able to extract such inconspicuous fingerprints.
What's more, the people in the garden, whether they are young ladies and maids, are of the same age, and their body size and hand shape are also similar. If you simply compare the mudras, and it is still incomplete with only a few fingers, the effect is limited. Even if you are really targeted, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.
As for why you don't have to consider the ladies of each family, it is naturally because those ladies were all gathering in the water pavilion at that time, and they did not leave alone. And the three girls who were indifferent to Zhang Fuer and others before also found an excuse to leave Liu's Mansion after the party.
Just when she looked up, Xiao Qinglang also looked over.
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the corners of his lips moving slightly, he suddenly understood what he meant.
She secretly said in her heart, sure enough, Mingzhu was right, this guy looked upright but the most black-bellied. The ancients often said that ginger is still old and spicy, and it does make sense.
In terms of attacking suspects, he is not as good as him. But that's fine, it's a good thing for him to do a simple autopsy and let him take the trouble to identify the suspect.
She sighed in her heart, and then stepped forward and said, "According to the fingerprints on the neck of the deceased, it is not impossible to find the person." ”
"The deceased's hyoid bone was not broken, and there was only bruise under the skin, so the strength should be limited. In addition, the finger prints on both sides of the deceased's neck are not far apart, and there are wide and long marks on the left side of the neck, and short and shallow on the right side, so the suspect should be a woman. There was a dark spot on the edge of the bruise, which showed that the person's nails were quite long, so it was concluded that she was not low, and she was not a maidservant or a mother-in-law. ”
"Therefore, the adults only need to send someone to take the handprints of the young ladies who played hide and seek with Miss Qiu before. Comparing the two, it is not difficult to identify who that person is. ”
Her tone was indifferent, but very determined. However, it reassured the innocent and implicated young ladies that they were very cooperative, and pressed their handprints on the white paper brought by the official messenger.
When it was Zhang Fu'er's turn, she did not hesitate, and directly raised her hand to press the handprint on the paper.
Xiao Qinglang and Xu Qinhe compared them one by one, each with a calm expression and no flaws. As the handprints were placed aside, the hearts of the ladies also rose and fell.
Just when they thought they had escaped, they saw Xiao Qinglang suddenly attack.
He looked at Zhang Fu'er with sharp eyes, and said with a sneer: "Miss Zhang, your handprint is chic, but I don't know that you deliberately closed your fingers and pressed it." Or is it because of panic that there was an inadvertent small movement? ”
As he spoke, he threw the last handprint in front of Zhang Fu'er.
"Lord Wang, I was wronged, today is my birthday banquet, how can I poison the Qiu family's sister?"
Xiao Qinglang was not moved by her crying appearance, Mo said that he was not a person who cherished fragrance and jade. Even if it is, in the face of Zhang Fu'er, who is full of vomit, it is difficult for anyone to soften.
"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." Xiao Qinglang looked at her coldly, full of disgust, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think you really did it seamlessly?" ”
"You helped the deceased wipe the dust and sand on his nails and shoes, this king guesses, it should not be wiped with your hands!"
As soon as Xiao Qinglang's words fell, he saw Zhang Fu'er, who had always wanted to refute, and his face was colorless in an instant. The whole person was shaky and panicked.
"When my handkerchief was playing, I didn't know where it fell. Lord, do you want to punish me with a handkerchief that is stained with dirt somewhere? Zhang Fu'er took a deep breath and choked up, "My uncle-in-law is a fellow acquaintance of Jinzhou City, and he treats me like a daughter. Lord Wang, do you really want to slander me like this, and really make the families of officials in Jinzhou City feel cold? ”
Xiao Qinglang glanced at her, his face suddenly turned cold because of these words, and he repeated with a smile: "Lord Governor? The state judge who intends to murder the prince of the dynasty? ”
At this time, who of the people on the side still couldn't see that Lord Liu had fallen? Not to mention whether he was held by the prince or not, just one charge of framing King Jing'an is enough to kill the three clans.
For a while, no one dared to cry out for her, let alone accuse Xu Chu of his arrogant behavior.
Xiao Qinglang pondered for a moment, turned his gaze to Xu Chu, and asked her if she wanted to give Zhang Fu'er the final blow.
If she could make Xiao Chu angry because of this, she would probably not be angry with herself anymore.
Xu Chu glared at him, but did not refuse his gesture.
She took a step forward and slowly walked towards Zhang Fu'er, but when she saw that Zhang Fu'er's face had just eased up, it instantly faded again.
