Chapter 45: The Suspect (2)

"Come, take off this girl's coat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Ling Xianjie gave an order, but before the others could respond, Wang Fugui immediately drew his sword and stepped up.

"Poof!"

With the sound of sword collision, the sword in the hand of the girl in white was knocked to the ground by Wang Fugui, and several catchers surrounded the girl in white together, Wang Fugui tore off her white coat and took out the short sword pinned to her waist.

"Give it back, I didn't kill anyone, give it back!"

The girl in white finally revealed her voice as a young woman's silver bell.

Wang Fugui took the short sword to Chen Jinbao and Ling Xianjie, and Ling Xianjie took the short sword and pulled it out. While looking at it, he nodded and said, "Well, good sword, good sword." ā€

Chen Jinbao looked at the sword that was knocked to the ground by Wang Fugui's sword, and then looked at the girl who was arrested and couldn't move at all, and thought: "With this skill, it's thanks to her that she didn't meet any bandits, if she really robbed her of all the money, she would have to play with her dozens of times and then sell her to a brothel." ā€

"Lord Ling, what are you going to do with her?" Chen Jinbao asked.

Ling Xianjie put the short sword back into its scabbard and said to everyone, "Listen, first take this person back to the yamen and put him in the prison, and interrogate him properly." ā€

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then handcuffed the woman in white and took her away.

Everyone left the guest room, leaving only Ling Xianjie and Chen Jinbao in the guest room.

Ling Xianjie looked at Chen Jinbao and smiled, turned around and prepared to go with the catchers, at this moment Chen Jinbao shouted: "Lord Ling! ā€

Ling Xianjie stood still, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else going on with Chen Zhutou?" ā€

Chen Jinbao stepped forward, saluted Ling Xian's masterpiece, and then asked, "Lord Ling, the lower official wants to ask, how many clues do you still have to tell the lower official?" ā€

Ling Xianjie smiled after hearing this, and then asked, "What does Chen Zhutou mean by this?" ā€

Chen Jinbao raised his head and looked at this person who was on a par with his master, and then thought about himself, and couldn't help but live up to the name of "God Catcher" in his heart.

"Lord Ling, your progress is so much faster than Xiaguan, you must have seen the general panorama of this case, can you tell Xiaguan?"

Ling Xianjie shook his head with a smile and replied, "I'm not a god or a demon, how could I figure out the panorama of the case so quickly?" Just know more than you do. ā€

Chen Jinbao immediately knelt in front of Ling Xianjie and said, "Please let Master Ling know." After saying that, he fell headlong.

Ling Xianjie immediately picked up Chen Jinbao, patted the soil on his knees for him, and smiled at him.

"Chen Zhutou, I've already told you all the clues, I originally thought that you wouldn't be able to find this self-proclaimed chivalrous living treasure, but I didn't expect you to think of her as soon as you saw the autopsy report."

Chen Jinbao was a little embarrassed to listen to Ling Xianjie's words, in fact, he really didn't think of that living treasure at first, thanks to Ling Xianjie's autopsy report coming in time. Otherwise, I would have suspected her.

"Lord Ling, Xia Guan doesn't understand why you thought so early on that the deceased did not die from a knife wound but was poisoned?"

Ling Xianjie smiled, and then said, "Think about it yourself, why do I think that the deceased did not die from a knife wound but was poisoned. ā€

Chen Jinbao raised his head and thought about it, the wound on the deceased's back was not very deep or shallow, and he couldn't see the reason just by looking at the knife. The trajectory of the wound can only be known until the autopsy report comes out, what is the cause?

"My lord, is it a knife and blood?"

When Ling Xianjie heard this, he said, "Oh, then why are there knives and bloodstains?" ā€

Chen Jinbao thought about the situation he was searching under the bed at that time, and now he realized that there were some very important places that he didn't find. No, not noticing to be exact.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, the deceased looked like he had been stabbed in the back and then thrown directly under the bed. If this is the case, there will be blood stains under the bed, but there will be no blood under the bed, could it be that the murderer wiped the blood under the bed clean? What was his purpose in doing this? And why didn't the knife stuck in the corpse be taken away? ā€œ

Ling Xianjie nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Hmm...... And then what? ā€

Chen Jinbao continued: "There is no need for the murderer to wipe the blood under the bed, but the situation is that there is no blood under the bed at all. It can only be suspected that the murderer killed the deceased and let it go for a while, and the wounds were no longer bleeding, and then dragged the body under the bed of the traveling merchant. But there is a very unnatural place, why the murderer didn't take the murder weapon away, maybe the murderer felt that the knife stuck in the deceased had nothing to do with it, maybe the murderer wanted to do it for us. If the deceased did not have any external injuries other than the wound, then it could only be poisoned. ā€

Ling Xianjie smiled at Chen Jinbao, Chen Jinbao felt that the smile was not like the kind of yin and yang smile he had seen before, but like the master smiling at himself.

"I want to ask, does Chen Zhutou think that the murderer thinks it has nothing to do with the knife, or is the murderer's intention to show us?"

Chen Jinbao was a little puzzled, isn't the current situation clear?

"Lord Hui, of course the murderer wants to do it for us."

Ling Xianjie laughed out loud after hearing this, and then said, "Hahaha, Chen Zhutou, I just found some Zheng Qing's shadow from you, but you made me look up to you again." ā€

Chen Jinbao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he knew that he was too far behind his master, and he might not even be able to compare with his own apprentices, but being ridiculed by others like this would hurt his self-esteem.

"My lord, the lower official is indeed inferior to the master and you, please tell the lower official where he said something wrong."

Ling Xianjie held back his smile and said very seriously: "I initially suspected that the deceased did not die of a knife wound but died of poisoning, you are indeed right about this, I also suspected that the murderer did not take the knife away because he wanted to show us, but looking back, is it necessary for the murderer to do this?" After poisoning the deceased, he stabbed the deceased in the back, for what? Is it some kind of vendetta against the dead? It's possible, but it's more likely that he had to stick that knife. ā€

Chen Jinbao listened attentively, he knew that he might be able to think of Ling Xianjie's step, but it would be a long time later than him.

Ling Xianjie continued: "When I first saw the corpse, I speculated that the murderer was a left-hander, maybe the poison was a little late, and the murderer couldn't wait, so he inserted such a knife. Later, after the autopsy report came, I found out that my idea was wrong, the knife was slightly inclined from left to right, even a left-handed person would not kill with a knife like this, I thought about it if I stood in front of the deceased, and stabbed the deceased in the back with my right hand, it was possible, and this time it was not fatal, and the wound was in the shape of a sword. I thought about it and suspected this girl with a sword, and I also thought about it, even if the two of them were close, this girl was holding a long sword, so she shouldn't have chosen to stab the deceased in the back, after all, the sword body was so long and that kind of action was too awkward. ā€

Chen Jinbao nodded and continued, "So your lord, you suspect that she still has a close-fitting short sword on her?" ā€

Ling Xianjie nodded and said, "Yes, I just have no evidence for such a speculation, who knows that my speculation is correct." ā€

Chen Jinbao looked at Ling Xianjie, although he was still angry with him in his heart, but he had to obey this person.

"My lord, do you think that girl is also the one who poisoned her?"
