Chapter Fifty-Eight: Dead Man's Face Makeup

Fanchun's nails, palms, and feet were not stained with mud, sand and gravel, and there were no suspicious residues on her clothes, as Feng Sanshi said, she was not drowned in the pond.

However, Ran Yan recalled the back garden of the Yin Mansion, especially the pond near the wooden incense shed, where there were stones all around, if the deceased's head was pressed into the water on the water pavilion, it was possible that it would not be contaminated with mud and sand, but was there *** and honeysuckle nearby?

"Could it be a tub?" Xiao Song interrupted Ran Yan's thoughts.

"It's very likely, then the other murderer should also be a woman?" Ran Yan once heard Wanlu say that it was a woman who conspired with Cuimei, could it be the murderer?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Song's lips, "That's not necessarily, many men also like to soak in petal baths......"

The man's scalp was numb when he soaked in the petal bath, and he glanced at Xiao Song strangely, "You men are quite elegant." ”

Having said that, Xiao Song's words reminded Ran Yan, she immediately went back to check the shoulder and neck part of the corpse, the bruises were inverted, the corpse had entered the early stage, and it could only be judged that this person was holding the back of the deceased's neck with his right hand and pressing her in the water.

Thinking of the first time she saw this Fanchun corpse, Ran Yan's heart moved slightly, she only glanced at it in a hurry, and did not dare to examine it seriously, even so, she still remembered that there were bruises on the deceased's head, overlapping with the wounds.

At that time, the wound on the deceased's head was covered by fresh blood, and the details could not be seen clearly, and the blood obviously did not belong to the deceased, it could be an animal or someone else, which was a false impression deliberately created by the murderer in order to create the illusion of a collision with a pillar.

Ran Yan took a look at it and felt that it might be the murderer's lack of strength, so he didn't knock the deceased out with a stick, and made up for it with another stick. However, there should be a big difference between drowning, blue and swollen face, and being stoned to death with a blunt object, even if it was a quick glance at the time, it should not be mistaken

"Did you find anything suspicious when you examined the body?" Ran Yan turned around and asked about Feng Santen.

Feng Sanshi stroked his beard and groaned, thinking carefully for a long time, "There is nothing out of the ordinary?" ”

There must have been Ran Yan who carefully looked at the corpse's head again, and finally found some white powdery substance between the strands of hair, "When you examined it, did she wear makeup?" ”

"Exactly, in order to be able to see her complexion clearly, the old man washed off the makeup on her face with water." Feng Sansheng turned to ask, "It's normal for women to wear makeup, right?" ”

"But you later judged that she was drowned" Ran Yan was irrepressibly angry, when the deceased was lying in front of the forensic doctor, he was destined to lose the opportunity to personally accuse the murderer, they handed everything over to the forensic doctor, how could they be so unscrupulous

Since she was drowned, it was impossible for her to wear intact makeup, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which was the era when she grew up, and not all makeup could be waterproof

"Since you know that the murderer is someone else, it must have been painted by the murderer, what's so strange about this?" Feng Sanshi was reprimanded by a little lady, and his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but refute loudly.

Ran Yan stared at him coldly and said, "Fanchun was drowned, and her face will definitely not look good, but this person can use makeup to dress her up without the slightest trace of flooding, such superb makeup skills are not something that all women can achieve, right?" This kind of makeup, it is definitely not possible to use inferior makeup powder, how many shops in Suzhou City sell high-quality powder rouge? What is the scent of makeup powder? What breed? These are all clues."

Feng Santen's questioning was stunned, but in the end, he only said, "To check the cause of death of the injury, the whole Tang Dynasty is like this, and the old man is just doing things according to the rules." ”

Xiao Song originally had the attitude of watching the excitement, but looking at the cold anger in Ran Yan's beautiful eyes, his heart gradually became solemn.

"That's it, that's it, knowing that the murderer is good at makeup, this is already a major breakthrough." Liu Pinrang saw that the atmosphere was solemn, and immediately began to make peace with the mud, "What else did Seventeen Niang find?" ”

Ran Yan knew that as soon as he encountered the autopsy, he was too serious, this was the Tang Dynasty, not the original world, so he eased his emotions and said, "No, but I suspect that there is more than one person who killed Fanchun." ”

"Let's talk about it." Liu Pinrang hurriedly said.

"There is a superimposed scar on the deceased's forehead, I have carefully dissected and examined it, the first layer is a bruise, curved, with simple epidermal peeling, the boundary of subcutaneous bleeding is not obvious, and there is no indentation on the bone surface, I can probably judge that this injury was caused by the deceased before his death, and the murder weapon was a wooden blunt weapon, but not a wooden stick, and it is not possible to judge what it is for the time being." Ran Yan didn't care whether they could hear the technical terms or not, anyway, she knew that she had the credentials to make the final summary.

After a pause, Ran Yan continued, "The skin on the edge of the secondary wound has not been rolled up, there is no sign of life reaction, and there is a depressed comminuted fracture, the edge of the wound is neat, and the bone wound is triangular, which shows that this wound was made by hitting it with a sharp metal blunt force after death. ”

Liu Pinrang nodded thoughtfully, "Then how can you tell that the murderers are two people?" ”

"Guessing from the sequence of the wounds on this corpse, the murderer hit the deceased with a wooden blunt object from the front, but because the force was not enough, the victim only had a momentary discomfort, and the murderer saw that she was not dead, and immediately pressed her into the nearby water full of flower petals, but at this time, the victim began to struggle desperately, and when people were trying to survive, they would explode with greater potential than usual. Judging from the scars from the blows, the strength of this murderer will not be very large, at least not a powerful man. Therefore, she resisted the victim's resistance alone, so it is very likely that there was another person who helped the murderer to commit the crime. ”

"After the murderer drowns someone, he starts hiding the body, and in the hot summer climate, where do the bodies hide to stop the rapid transformation?"

"At the tea banquet party, everyone is gathered in one place, how can the murderer be sure that Qin Shilang will definitely go away alone? And how to calculate the time to transport the corpse out for arrangement? ”

Ran Yan's questions all pointed to the Yin Mansion.

Why did Yin Miao come up with a game of hide and seek that day? Is this murder really related to her?

Ran Yan let out a breath, feeling a little detached all over her body, she faintly felt that she was about to see the truth of the matter, "I feel that I once lost part of my memory, and I would dream every night that a woman's face was covered with a cloth and sunk in the water." It seems to be Yin Siniang, Yin Wanwan...... Liu Tingshi might as well investigate the cause of her death. ”

Liu Pinrang was surprised by Ran Yan's words, but he was also extremely suspicious of Yin Miaomiao's murder, but although she was suspicious, she did not have enough motive to kill.

Yin Miao Miao is a representative of the model of the lady of the Yin Mansion, she has always lived in a simple house, virtuous and gentle, rarely has the opportunity to meet men in private, and has never met Qin Shilang a few times.

Now it seems that Han Shan's death in Caixiu Pavilion is also related to the main culprit of the Yin Mansion, if you want to say that Yin Miaomiao killed her maid, it makes some sense, why did she want to kill Qin Shilang and Han Shan?

Ran Yan was silent and dealt with the two corpses, and she had already said all the clues that could be provided. In Datang, she has no qualifications or conditions to investigate this case, so she can only go home and stay, think about what the murder weapon that caused the scars on Fanchun's body is, and then quietly wait for the results of the investigation by the government.

"That ji, why did you hurt yourself?" Suddenly, Xiao Song's magnetic and elegant voice resounded beside Ran Yan.

Ran Yan took off her mask after putting on the power fence, and sighed slightly, "People who can self-harm are usually in an extreme mood, such as regret, resentment, hatred, hatred, etc., Cuimei is inexplicably pregnant, and suffers from bayberry sores, which is a kind of willow disease, her face must be extremely ugly, she must be a person who cares about her appearance very much, and her heart has some extreme emotions, and it is not surprising that she hurts herself." ”

After Ran Yan finished speaking, he bowed slightly at him, and then turned around to say goodbye to Liu Pinrang and the others. The autopsy has also been completed, and everything that should be said has been said, so naturally there is no reason to stay any longer.

When I got out of the morgue, I realized that it was raining lightly outside. Ran Yan didn't care about it with the fence, and walked directly into the rain.

Shao Ming followed behind with a pale face, his head was blank, and he was drenched in the rain before he came back to his senses, hurriedly said to Ran Yan, and ran to the carriage to get an umbrella.

Ran Yan walked towards the alley where the carriage was parked alone.

After walking for a while, she suddenly felt that the light was dim, and she subconsciously looked up.

Through the soap veil, a pair of black eyes as bright as stars suddenly met, and the handsome face had a faint and elegant smile on it, holding an oil-paper umbrella above her head.

"Didn't the lady say, find a time to carefully discuss the meaning of 'pathogen'? Just in time for today's availability. Xiao Song said with a smile.

"I'm not available." Ran Yan replied lightly.

Xiao Songjian raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does the lady want to do, I will accompany you to do it, we can discuss while we are busy." ”

Ran Yan frowned, staring at him quietly, when he heard the voice, he would feel that he was a calm and silent person, but when he met, he knew that this person was calm and calm, but he was a scoundrel

"I want to embroider, sew, and talk to my sisters about rouge and gouache." Ran Yan dropped this sentence, turned around and left.

Xiao Song stood in place and did not catch up, holding an umbrella, watching her back meet Shao Ming, and then did not enter the alley where the carriage was parked.

After Ran Yan got into the carriage, he untied the fence and couldn't help but glance out the window, but saw that the red robe holding an oil-paper umbrella painted with mountains and rivers was still standing in the distance, with his head slightly bowed, as if he was listening to the guard's report, with his sword eyebrows slightly frowned, his straight nose, and his hard jaw curve, as Xing Niang said, there was really nothing bad.

Ran Yan was about to withdraw his gaze, but he saw him looking towards the carriage, and smiled at once, as if he knew that she was looking at him.

Ran Yan frowned, retracted and leaned against the cushion.

It was getting darker and darker outside, and because it had just rained yesterday, the road in the suburbs was not easy to walk, so as soon as he got out of the city, the carriage galloped up, and when he reached the suburbs, he slowly slowed down.

Yes By].
