Chapter 20: The Strangeness of the Claw Marks

The lawyer was silent, waiting for Ran Sinian's so-called evidence, and patted Tian Jing beside him on the shoulder, signaling that he could rest assured that the current form was not unfavorable to him.

Ran Sinian was just about to speak, Fan Xiao's noise disorder was committed again, and he interjected: "Mr. Ran, you said that the murderer would not be a monster, I agree with this, but why can't the murderer be a fat man who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 300 pounds?" There are such people in the university town, or in the whole of Jiangbei or even the whole of Songjiang City, right? ”

"Of course there is, but if you combine the evidence on the corpse I will talk about later, you can completely rule out this possibility, because the suspicion of the murderer A will be directed at this Mr. Tian Jingtian," Ran Sinian raised his chin and looked directly at Tian Jing, "That's right, I will name me now, Mr. Tian, I think you are the murderer who killed Wang Xiaoyu, of course, you can reserve the right to accuse me of defamation." ”

Fan Xiao interrupted Ran Sinian again, "Mr. Ran, I remember that you said at the beginning that there was only one person who was the mastermind of this series of cases, didn't you?" Why did the two murderers A and B emerge now? ”

Ran Sinian squinted at Fan Xiao and said earnestly: "Xiao Fan, the mastermind is one person, and it doesn't prevent the murderer from being two or more people, understand?" ”

Fan Xiao didn't seem to understand what Ran Sinian meant, but he nodded obediently.

"Next, I'll talk about the evidence on Wang Xiaoyu's corpse," Ran Sinian turned to Qu Zichong, "Team Qu, I believe you have also read Wang Xiaoyu's autopsy report, if I guessed correctly, there was no saliva belonging to an animal detected on Wang Xiaoyu's corpse, that is to say, the scars on Wang Xiaoyu's corpse were all caused by claws, not teeth, right?" ”

Qu Zichong nodded, "Yes, this is also very strange to our police, because several hairs belonging to wolves were found in the wounds, but no wolf saliva was detected. If a wild wolf hurts a person to death, it can't just use its claws and not use sharp teeth, right? Forensic doctors also have doubts about this, because felines have retractable claws, which are the sharper kind, and they are better at using sharp claws to catch prey, while canine claws cannot be retracted, and their attack weapons are mainly sharp teeth. So if it was really the wolf that attacked Wang Xiaoyu, Wang Xiaoyu's corpse should not be full of claw marks, but should be traces of teeth biting, and saliva must be detected. ”

"Yes, if it is really a wolf that hurts people to death, then this wolf is probably also an old, weak, sick and disabled wolf, because not only has it lost all its teeth, but it also has only one foot and one claw." Ran Sinian said in a joking tone.

"What? A wolf with a paw? Tian Jing's lawyer asked Ran Sinian in a mocking tone, "What do you mean?" ”

Ran Sinian didn't answer, but asked Qu Zichong: "Team Qu, I don't know if your forensic doctor has described in detail the characteristics of the scratches on Wang Xiaoyu's body in the autopsy report. ”

Qu Zichong still remembers the autopsy report he had carefully read, which only stated that the cause of death was that the carotid artery was pierced by a sharp claw and died of excessive blood loss, but other than that, all the injuries were formed by sharp claws that resembled wolf claws, no saliva was detected, and a few hairs belonging to wolves were found in the scars. As for the characteristics of the scratches, the report only said that they were all scratches with four marks, some deep and some shallow, and some layered.

"Si Nian, what are the characteristics of these claw marks?" Qu Zichong knew that it must have been Ran Sinian who had discovered some details that the forensic doctor had not discovered.

Ran Sinian explained: "I have carefully observed and measured these claw marks, and although the depth of the scars is different, the angle of curling of the four claws, the spacing of the four marks, and the difference in length between the four claws are all the same. ”

"What do you mean?" Qu Zichong asked eagerly.

"The wolf has four limbs, four legs, and five claws on each foot, each of which will have a vestigial hanging toe on the top of each foot, which cannot leave deep marks on the skin of the target, that is, there are still twenty claws on the four feet left to scratch the target. Not to mention the difference in the shape of the claws on the front and rear limbs, even the two feet that are also the forelimbs, the angle and shape of the claws cannot be exactly the same, but they should tend to be symmetrical," Ran Sinian slowly moved his gaze to Tian Jing and continued, "But the shape of the scars on Wang Xiaoyu's body shows that there are always only four claws that scratch her. ”

A hint of emptiness flashed on Tian Jing's face, but he quickly concealed it with an uninhibited demeanor.

Qu Zi hurriedly went through the autopsy report at hand and looked at the photos of the injuries on the corpse. At first glance, he couldn't see anything, thinking that Ran Sinian must have carefully studied these scars in his dreams. It seems that it is necessary for him to ask the forensic doctor to confirm again whether these claw marks have the characteristics that Ran Sinian said, and whether they are left by the same claw. However, Qu Zichong actually already has the answer in his heart, that is, what Ran Sinian said must be right.

Thinking of forensics, Qu Zichong couldn't help but be a little disappointed. After all, their forensic doctors are still relatively young, and they don't have enough work experience, and they usually come into contact with the corpses of some man-made homicides, even if it is a mutilated corpse, it is only the corpse after jumping off the building, and it is the first time for him to come into contact with this kind of corpse that looks like being attacked by a wild beast, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. But the details that could escape the professional forensic doctor were discovered by Ran Sinian, and sure enough, Ran Sinian was the talent he urgently needed.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The lawyer asked quietly.

Ran Sinian calmly unfolded his thoughts, "I heard that Tian Jing's father had a hobby of hunting when he was young, and he had a special room for displaying various animal specimens, which was called the Specimen Zoo. All the animal specimens in it are made from the animals he hunted, and Mr. Tian is very proud of it, and often entertains friends to visit. Although Tian Lao claimed that the specimens were all man-made, everyone tacitly knew that the specimens were actually made alive, which was already an open secret in the circle of high society in Songjiang City. I think there must be wolves in the specimen zoo. ”

The lawyer's face changed, and he wanted to turn his head to look at Tian Jing beside him, but he still held back.

"If I were Tian Jing and wanted to fake the scene and create the illusion that the victim was attacked by an animal or even a monster, in addition to making deep footprints by two people, I would also work on the murder weapon. When I think of ready-made, readily available murder weapons that can be linked to the half-human, half-beast night demons and can cause confusion to the police, I think of my father's taxidermy zoo. It's perfect to get a ready-made animal murder weapon from the zoo. Of course, I couldn't be discovered by my father or anyone else. The best way to do this is to secretly saw off one of the front paws of the specimen wolf, because the front paw is small and not easy to detect, and it is easy to stick back to the original state afterwards. ”

Qu Zichong sneered and said to Tian Jing: "I see, you used that wolf claw to commit the murder, I think now the evidence of your murder is placed in the specimen zoo that your father is proud of." ”

Fan Xiao interjected, "Then I don't understand, why didn't Tian Jing just rip off a few wolf hairs, and then make a fake wolf claw to commit murder?" Do you have to risk destroying your father's specimens? ”

"Because Tian Jing doesn't have time to make any fake wolf claw model as a murder weapon, it is not possible to make an animal claw that can deceive professional forensic doctors and make it have a certain strength and hardness. His killing of Wang Xiaoyu can be said to be a temporary intention, and the use of this killing method under the guise of a night demon is also a temporary intention. On the other hand, he also felt that it was not necessary to be so troublesome, and he was confident that no one would suspect that he was the real murderer. He believed that as long as he left wolf claw marks and wolf hair on Wang Xiaoyu's body, and left strange deep footprints in the woods, he could already lead the suspicion to the so-called Night Demon or other people related to the Night Demon. Ran Sinian replied.

Fan Xiao nodded frequently, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Mr. Ran, you said that the Tian family's specimen zoo is an open secret in the upper class circles, so how do you know?" ”

Ran Sinian didn't like Fan Xiao's question, and wanted to avoid answering, but he was worried that Fan Xiao would get to the bottom of it, so he had to say in passing: "I was fortunate enough to attend an upper-class dance party and overheard it." ”

Tian Jing gritted his teeth and said nothing. However, the lawyer beside him sneered and said: "Captain Qu, it is not so easy to apply for a search warrant, after all, it is Mr. Tian's mansion, and you can't enter it if you want to, even if it is a policeman." ”

"Oh?" Ran Sinian couldn't help laughing, "This lawyer, presumably you are the lawyer in charge of criminal cases, don't you know that poaching wild animals is also a crime?" Mr. Tian's 'specimen zoo' is already an open secret in the circle of high society, but no one has reported it. Now, I've officially reported it to the police, and I believe it shouldn't be difficult to get a search warrant to go around the zoo. Alas, in short, the son of a pit father hid the ironclad evidence of murder at home, and the father of the pit son couldn't protect the ironclad evidence of his son's murder weapon, because the illegal 'zoo' was built by his father himself. It's ironic. ”

Qu Zichong immediately got up, "Si Nian, you guys wait for me for five minutes first, I'll arrange it, and strive to immediately mobilize people to go to the Tian family's mansion to see the evil specimen zoo and obtain ironclad evidence of Tian Jing's murder weapon." ”

Ran Sinian nodded, and watched Qu Zi rush out the door. There was absolute silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tian Jing, who was constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

The lawyer beside Tian Jing only recovered from the shock at this time, and he also got up, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

"Xiao Fan, Liang Yuan, stop him," Ran Sinian calmly ordered, "He wants to ventilate the news and let the Tian family be prepared." ”

Fan Xiao and Liang Yuan immediately rushed to the door and stood guard in front of the door, like two door gods.

"You, you don't have the right to do this, you don't have the right to control my personal freedom!" The lawyer shouted, seeing that Fan Xiao and Liang Yuan had no possibility of letting them go, they directly took out their mobile phones and wanted to make a call.

Just a second before the dial button was pressed, a large hand suddenly snatched the lawyer's phone. The lawyer looked up and saw the man in front of him staring at a pair of scarlet eyes, clutching his mobile phone tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it. This person is Wang Xiaoyu's husband Zhao Guozhong.

Before everyone could react, Zhao Guozhong suddenly dropped his mobile phone and threw himself at Tian Jing, who was sitting upright. The two rolled to the ground, entangled and tearing at each other.

"You murderer! You killed my little jade! Zhao Guozhong roared, his hands were tightly clenched by Tian Jing, and he wanted to bite Tian Jing's ears with his teeth.

"It's not me, it's not me, it's it, it's Mi Yueqi, it's she said she was going to kill Wang Xiaoyu! She's the mastermind! Seeing that the general trend has gone and the defeat has been decided, Tian Jing simply confessed his guilt, but he put most of the blame on the murderer B-Mi Yueqi.

Mi Yueqi jumped up from the chair and shouted: "Nonsense, you talk nonsense, I don't have it, I don't have it!" ”

Fan Xiao and Liang Yuan can be regarded as pulling Zhao Guozhong and Tian Jing apart, and the two of them together controlled Zhao Guozhong, who was out of control, and was just in time for Qu Zi to rush into the door.

"What's going on?" Qu Zi shouted sharply.

Five minutes later, calm was restored in the conference room, or Qu Zichong, the captain, was more shocking, under his deterrence, Zhao Guozhong calmed down, and Tian Jing did not dare to make a mistake.

"I mean seriously, Mi Yueqi is the mastermind, she proposed to kill Wang Xiaoyu, I'm just, just an accomplice." Although Tian Jing regretted the way he had chosen to protect himself in a hurry, after muttering a few words to the lawyer, he planned to follow the road of this play.
