Chapter 174: The scene is washed
readx;? Yang Jing had already understood the basic situation, and knew that it was raining on the day of the crime, and the continuous rainy days lasted for several days, and it was said that the footprints and other traces had already been washed away by the rain, and he didn't have much hope in his heart.

But when he came to the front of the wooden house, he was still a little surprised!
Because it often rains and the climate is too humid, the houses are built on stilts to avoid the moisture, and although the wooden house is a detached house, a half-meter-high base is built to keep the house dry.
The wooden house is built in the style of a arcade, with corridors on the left and right sides of the doorway, and a platform with a wooden floor in front of the door.
Yang Jing's surprise comes from this platform!
Under the light of the lantern, the wooden floor looks very clean, and it is this cleanliness that surprises Yang Jing!
According to Wang Dou's report, after arriving at the scene, he immediately issued a strict order, not allowing idle people to approach the scene, let alone touching anything in the scene.
But now the platform is clean, and it's obvious that it's been cleaned!
It was a rainy day on the night of the crime, no matter whether the murderer was a human or a mandrill, he would leave footprints, and Li Mu and Cao Sheng were also very likely to leave blood stains and other valuable traces on the platform, if they could find the footprints of the mandrill on the platform, it would be of great significance!
Now someone disobeys the instructions of the government and secretly cleans the platform, which is clearly destroying traces and hindering the investigation, which also reflects a problem, there must be someone in the post station who wants to cover up the truth!
Wang Dou obviously also noticed this, and seeing that Yang Jing was silent, he shouted at Yuan Weidao: "Yuan Yicheng, didn't I say before I left, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to come close to the scene, even if the county government is fast, what the hell is going on!"
Yuan Weidao was obviously also frightened, and said with trembling lips: "Old decay... I don't know if I'm old..."
"You are the post man here, what else can I hide from you, don't hurry up and hand over the people!" After all, Wang Dou is an old man, and his grasp of people's hearts is also extremely good.
"The old man really doesn't know anything, and he doesn't dare to approach this wooden house these days, as for who cleans it, the adults can directly interrogate it, maybe it was an old mother who doesn't have long ears to do it, and there is nothing else to do in this ghost place, and the old mothers like to clean everywhere when they have nothing to do..."
"Nonsense!" Wang Dou drank again, Yuan Weidao's body shook suddenly, and his face became more and more pale, but Yang Jing waved his hand and smiled gently at Yuan Weidao: "Yuan Lao, don't be nervous, Wang Zhutou is also in a hurry to find out the truth, since Yuan Lao is not clear, then everyone in the post station will be summoned here, let's figure it out." ”
"It's... Yes, yes, what Lord Yang said, even, let them all come over..."Yuan Weidao said yes again and again, and then quickly went back to call someone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Jing pushed open the door and planned to go to the room to investigate the scene, but as soon as he pushed the door open, Yang Jing's heart was half cold.
Because the room was also cleaned, the blood stains on the walls were scraped off, the bedding was all removed, and the original simple furnishings were all removed, leaving an empty shell!
Wang Dou was also dumbfounded, in order to rush to the scene as soon as possible, he didn't have many people, and after he went back to the county government to report the news, he left a few arrests, and the main tasks of these arrests were focused on guarding Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang, and he ignored the protection of the crime scene.
"The villain... Damn the villain!"
When Wang Dou saw such a scene, he was also scared into a cold sweat, this scene was not so simple as being destroyed, this was to erase all traces, and the house was almost demolished and burned!
Yang Jing frowned slightly, but he didn't have too much blame, at first he didn't have a clue about this case, but now he was able to narrow down the scope to this station, although this person wanted to destroy the evidence, but in turn it also helped Yang Jing a lot.
After thinking for a while, Yang Jing also returned to normal, and asked Song Fengya, "Miss, what do you think is the most difficult case in the world to solve?"
Song Fengya didn't know Yang Jing's intentions, and she felt inexplicable in her heart, but since she wanted to be Yang Jing's assistant, it was natural for Yang Jing to test herself in a timely manner.
"The hardest case... It should be like now, there is no trace left, and there is no trace to be found if you want to investigate..."
Her answer did not surprise Yang Jing, and Yang Jing asked again, "Is there anything more difficult?"
"What's more difficult?" Song Fengya was a little embarrassed this time, muttering in her mouth, unable to answer for a long time.
Yang Jing turned his gaze to Zong Yun again, who seemed to regard Yang Jing's gaze as a provocation, and was silent for a moment, and sure enough, it was Zong Yun who took the lead in opening his mouth.
"A case without a victim is the hardest..."
Yang Jing didn't expect Zong Yun to have such a high consciousness of investigating the case, could it be that the Taoist doctrine is really inclusive of all things, and after eating it thoroughly, he can draw inferences from one another, and touch the bypass to make all the senses?
"The sect chief said yes, the case without the victim is the most difficult, Fengya, you said that there is no trace, but the latter is impossible to start... Unfortunately, I was able to run into both..."
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, it is still unknown whether Li Mu and Cao Sheng are alive or dead, and their whereabouts are unknown now, and the scene has been washed clean, as if this murder has never happened at all, how to investigate this case?
However, in response to that sentence, Skynet was restored and not leaked, and the purpose of sweeping the scene was to cover up the truth, but it also had the effect of wanting to cover up, and this kind of concealment behavior allowed Yang Jing to find a breakthrough!
In any case, Yang Jing still picked up the lantern and walked around the room, hoping to find some clues.
In ancient times, the means of criminal investigation were limited, mainly relying on torture to extract confessions, using the suspect's confession as the main evidence, and not paying so much attention to the evidence at the scene, so the investigation of the scene was not so diverse, and the criminals did not have the criminal consciousness to destroy the evidence or leave as few traces as possible.
Therefore, Yang Jing judged that being able to think of returning to the scene to destroy the evidence at least showed that this person had a certain level of education or was active and quick-witted.
But on the other hand, if he is a smart person, then he should only destroy the key physical evidence, or fake the scene to confuse the criminal investigators, and only people who are not smart enough, who are not sure which are the key physical evidence, which are not, and who are not capable of confusing the crime solving personnel, will simply destroy everything in one go!
So judging from this point, we can make a rough judgment about the person at the scene of destruction.
Yang Jing thought so in his heart, but he had already walked around the room, and sure enough, he still couldn't find any useful clues.
Just as he was about to walk out of the platform, Yang Jing stopped and turned back!
He bent down slightly, held the lantern, and carefully examined the traces of the deadbolt and the deadbolt groove, and sure enough, he found a faint white mark at the bottom of the deadbolt!
"This is the mark left by the bolt being picked open by a thin blade!" Yang Jing's eyes suddenly lit up!
"It means that this door was quietly opened? But when the murderer injured people, the house was full of blood, which shows that the means are cruel, and he also robbed people, so it can be seen that the murderer is cruel and violent, such a murderer, will he carefully open the door, instead of breaking the door directly?"
"Is it really as Yuan Yicheng said, the murderers are those mysterious mandrills, sneaking in and wanting to steal property, and woke up Li Mu and others before they fell into a rage and killed people?"
Song Fengya inferred in a low voice, but Yang Jing asked Zong Yun a question: "Sect Master, do you also think that the mandrill really exists?"
Zong Yun nodded and said: "There are indeed mandrills, as for whether they are beasts or ghosts, most of them are false, and from the simple point of view, this mandrill should be a smarter ape..."
Yang Jing praised Zong Yun's frankness, but still asked, "How smart are the smart apes, how smart are they? Could they be smart enough to imitate humans, know how to use knives and fire, and even know how to use knives to pry open door bolts?"
"Even if they know how to pry a deadbolt with a knife, where do they get the thin-edged knives?"
In the face of Yang Jing's successive questions, Zong Yun also realized something, and asked Yang Jing rhetorically, "What do you want to say?"
Yang Jing smiled and said: "What I want to say is that the murderer may be the mandrill, because Lu Yueniang's wound can prove that the murderous thing is not ordinary, but it is not necessarily the mandrill that opens the door, and it is even more unlikely that it is the mandrill who destroys the scene!"
"You mean, someone collaborated with the mandrill to commit a crime?" Song Fengya was also a little surprised, because in her opinion, a wild thing like a mandrill is no different from the spirit in the mountains, it is a legendary thing, how can anyone dare to deal with these things!
"It is said that the mandrill is fierce and violent, has a strange temperament, kills people at every turn, and does not understand human language, who would dare to approach such a thing..."
Yang Jing was noncommittal to Song Fengya's statement, but his eyes were bright, he looked directly at Song Fengya, and lowered his voice and said, "What if this mandrill is raised by a human?"
"What? Raising a mandrill ?!!!" Song Fengya was suddenly a little speechless, not that Yang Jing's idea was too whimsical, but Yang Jing's speculation obviously gave people an unbelievable feeling, but it was reasonable to scrutinize, which was even more surprising!
Even Zong Yun didn't expect this possibility, he took the initiative to ask Yang Jing, "Why do you think so?"
Yang Jing gently put down the door bolt, walked out of the platform, looked at the rain curtain in the night, stretched his waist, and then replied to Zong Yun: "No matter how smart the mandrill is, it is impossible to come back to clean the crime scene, and even if it is smart to this extent, there is still a fast catch in the post station, is the mandrill not afraid at all?"
"So I think that the cleaning site must have been done by someone, and this person is in the post station!"
"Think about it again, what are the raisings under these bamboo buildings? They are all wild pigs! If wild pigs can be raised, why can't wild mandrills be raised?"
Zong Yun and Song Fengya listened to Yang Jing's analysis, and they also fell into deep thought, and after a while, Zong Yun frowned and asked.
"Maybe what you said is right, if the mandrill is raised by people, then it is not the mandrill that wants to kill, but the person, and the mandrill is just the executor, but the question is, if someone directs the mandrill to kill people behind the scenes, then what is the motive of this person?"
Song Fengya heard Zong Yun's question, and also nodded: "The Taoist is right, Li Mu and Cao Sheng are officials, and Zhou Nanchu is a prisoner, they are all stationed in this post station for the first time, and there is no motive to kill at all..."
Yang Jing pondered for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "It's not that there is no motive, it's just that we haven't found it yet..."
While he was talking, Yuan Weidao had already gathered all the people in the post station together and came to the platform.
