The dust has finally settled on Master Guan's case, and Ji Xia and Gao Han are also ready to leave for Taoyuan County.

"I don't know what happened to Xue Dabao!" The first person Gao Han met when he first arrived in Taoyuan County was Xue Dabao, and he was really uncomfortable without him for many days.

"I really miss him!" Her little apprentice always looks heartless, sometimes noisy and annoying, but his serious appearance in the face of murder is also charming.

Just as Ji Xia and Gao Han were about to buy some Beijing specialties for Xue Dabao and Lord Yang to take back, Jin Zesen hurriedly ran over and stopped the two.

"Something is wrong! Ji Xia, Gao Han, don't leave yet, stay and help me first! ”

Ji Xia and Gao Han looked at Jin Zesen with puzzled faces.

I saw Jin Zesen's two eyebrows wrinkled tightly together, and the word "Chuan" was formed in the center of his eyebrows, and he said in a hurry: "A family of three in the north of the city was wiped out. ”

Ji Xia said in his heart: This is really a big case! However, his status is not suitable for participating in this case.

Thinking of this, Ji Xia couldn't help but take a peek at Gao Han. I saw Gao Han think for a moment, clasped his hands into fists, and refused: "Brother Jin, although we really want to stay and help you, but we are on official business, and it is inconvenient to stay in the capital for a long time!" I'm sorry. ”

After a long period of leave, it's time to go back to work!

"It's easy! Before I came, I had consulted Lord Lin, and Lord Lin had already repaired a book and borrowed two from Lord Yang. Presumably, at this time, Lord Yang had already received the letter. Jin Zesen smiled, scratched his head, and said.

"This ......" Gao Han was a little overwhelmed by Jin Zesen's operation of cutting first and then playing, paused, looked at Ji Xia, as if asking for her opinion, saw that the latter nodded at him slightly, and then agreed: "Since this is the case, then let's listen to Brother Jin's arrangement!" ”

"My autopsy tool ......"

"Don't worry, wrap it around me, I'll send someone to send it." Jin Zesen snatched Ji Xia's words and said quickly.

"Then come with me to the scene of the crime!"

Jin Zesen couldn't help but praise himself in his heart, and said in his heart: Fortunately, he was witty and asked Lord Lin for instructions in advance, so he left these two helpers behind. Especially Ji Xia, he dared to pat his chest and pack the ticket, this autopsy ability, Ji Xia dared to say second, no one dared to call it the first in the world!

Thinking of this, Jin Zesen's eyes couldn't help but follow Ji Xia all the time, and what he couldn't hide in his eyes was full of appreciation.

Ji Xia was furious by Jin Zesen's blazing eyes: This big brother Jin, why did you suddenly look at me with such eyes? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

"Brother Jin, what's going on with this case?" Ji Xia couldn't help but speak.

Jin Zesen realized that he was out of shape, hurriedly retracted his gaze, and said: "This family's surname is Shen, and those who open a pawn shop in the capital are not as rich as Master Guan, but they can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing." Early this morning, the next-door neighbor heard the Shen family's dog barking frantically, took a closer look, and found that the door was open, and no one answered after shouting a few times, so he had the courage to look inside. This look almost scared him to death. ”

When Jin Zesen introduced the case, he lived like a storyteller, and he liked to leave suspense, and he had to wait for others to ask him before he said it slowly. Ji Xia and Gao Han came into contact with him a few times, and they had already figured out his routines, so they didn't ask him.

"Aren't you curious, why don't you ask me!" Kanazem couldn't help it anymore and complained.

He was in a hurry to tell the whole story, "He went in and took a look, the Shen family of three was all dead!" The ground was covered with blood. ”

"Such a great hatred?" Gao Han couldn't help but blurt out.

Ji Xia also agreed. The tragedy of destroying the door is indeed more likely to be a vendetta.

As he was talking, the three of them had unknowingly come to the Shen family.

The Shen family is an independent courtyard on the outskirts of the city, about twenty feet away from the surrounding houses.

There was a wall around the perimeter of the courtyard, less than five feet, which was not too difficult for an adult.

Ji Xia walked around the courtyard and found a line of footprints on the wall. He carefully checked the door lock of the Shen family. The door lock was stained with blood, but there was no sign of being pried, and it is speculated that the killer should have climbed over the fence and entered the victim's home to commit the murder, and then left the scene through the gate.

The door of the Shen family was hidden, and as soon as he pushed the door open, the smell of blood came to his face, straight to the Tianling Gai, and Ji Xia couldn't help frowning.

At this moment, the yellow dog in the courtyard of the Shen family barked non-stop, Ji Xia was startled, and said in his heart: "This dog is quite alert!" ”

Jin Zesen was about to stride in, but Ji Xia hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Jin, this scene is bloodstained, has anyone ever entered?" ”

Ji Xia looked at it from a distance, and the lobby inside the door was full of bloodstains, if someone had ever entered, it would destroy the scene, which was not conducive to bloodstain analysis.

"When the neighbor who reported the crime saw this scene, how dare he go in! Rest assured, no outsiders have ever entered. ”

"That's good, let's be careful, these bloodstains are all key evidence."

"Can you find out the truth through blood?" Kanazawa muttered suspiciously.

Ji Xia didn't answer the stubble, and walked straight inside.

As you walk through the gate, you first pass by a small garden. There is a cobbled path in the garden. At the edge of the path, a few camellia plants were planted in the freshly turned dirt, and in the corner of the garden was a small wooden hut with a yellow dog on a leash, which was barking incessantly.

Further inside, there is the hall of the Shen family.

The hall of the Shen family was in a mess, with vases, bonsai, and ornaments falling to the ground, and there were obvious traces of rummaging and fighting.

There were three dead people lying on the ground.

According to the zombie situation of the three deceased, Ji Xia first deduced that the order of death was Shen Haoxiong, the head of the Shen family, Shen Huang, the wife of the Shen family, and Shen Feng, the only son of the Shen family.

The first deceased, Shen Haoxiong, died in the hall last night, lying on his back in the hall, with stab wounds visible on both arms and hands, wooden thorns on the palm of his right hand, multiple wounds on the upper left flank, and the shape of the knife edge is the same, which can be inferred to be injured by the same sharp weapon. The deepest point was about four inches long and was judged to be fatal.

There were columnar blood stains on the bedgowns he was wearing, and there was a large amount of staining on his abdomen. There was a firewood stick on the ground to the right of the deceased.

The second deceased, Shen Huang, died in the middle of last night, lying on his back between the hall and the inner room, and there was a transverse wound about four inches long in front of his neck that was fatal, and the wound was from shallow to deep from the left side of the victim's neck to the right side of the front and down, and the wound margin was neat.

A large area of blood was splattered on the wall. Shen Huang had stained and columnar blood stains on his collar, and a pool of blood was seen below his neck.

The third deceased, Shen Feng, died three hours later than his parents, and at about the end of the day, he was lying prone in the hall near the courtyard gate, and a dagger about four inches long was inserted vertically into his back to death. The back clothing is heavily dyed.

There were bruises about three inches wide on the body, a total of eight places, which were injuries before death. There are wooden thorns attached to the back of the head.

"Shen Feng had a brief struggle before he died" Ji Xia noticed two blood stains next to Shen Feng's body, and guessed that it was caused by the deceased crawling, "but in the end, he died of excessive blood loss." ”

"Brother Jin, the cause of death of the three deceased is analyzed, I will write a report to you later." After Ji Xia carefully examined it, he already knew the situation of the three corpses well.

"Look at the signs that the Shen family hall has been rummaged through, it is suspected that it is a burglary and murder after being discovered, it doesn't look like a vendetta." Gao Han walked around the hall of the Shen family and came to a conclusion.

"That's too big! The Shen family is in the pawn business, and more than half of the people in the capital know about it. Jin Zesen frowned and said with a wry smile.

"Ji Xia, let's see if there are any useful clues on the corpse!"

Ji Xia shook his head helplessly, "Brother Jin, I'm just a ......."

The implication is that she will only examine the body and tell him the cause of death of the deceased, as for the investigation of the case...... That's the Yamen's business.

Jin Zesen didn't speak, only a pair of expectant eyes, looking at her pitifully.

Ji Xia was stunned by his gaze, sighed, and said, "That's all the information on this corpse......"

Gao Han relieved Ji Xia and said: "Brother Jin, since the deceased's family opened a pawnshop, there must always be some pawn ticket records, perhaps, you can start investigating from it." ”

After hearing this, Jin Zesen suddenly realized, patted his head, and said: "Thank you Brother Gao for mentioning it, I'll start to investigate!" After speaking, he hugged his fists and bowed to Gao Han and Ji Xia seriously: "Thank you for your help!" ”

Gao Han and Ji Xia were taken aback by Jin Zesen's sudden salute, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" ”

"I have been in the room of Zhilan for a long time, and I have not smelled its fragrance for a long time. I've been in the Shen family for a long time, and my nose has even gotten used to the smell of blood. When waiting for the little servant to come and carry the corpse, the bored Gao Han found the topic, but he didn't see Ji Xia Yinghe, turned his head, and saw Ji Xia frowning lightly, looking at the three corpses of the Shen family with a solemn expression and a thoughtful look.

She is always frowning unconsciously when she is thinking, a habit that even she herself has not noticed.

Gao Han looked at Ji Xia's distracted appearance, couldn't bear to disturb, and stood quietly aside.

I only heard Ji Xia muttering to himself: "It's so strange. ”

"Brother Gao, you say, why did Shen Feng die three hours later than his parents?" Ji Xia was puzzled, so he thought about discussing it with Gao Han. Perhaps, two people can collide with sparks of thought?

Gao Han was amused by her serious appearance, and said without thinking: "What's so difficult about this, Zuo just killed his parents first, and then killed him?" ”

Ji Xia shook his head and raised his doubts about Gao Han's point of view: "We just deduced from the scene that the murderer was a murderer after being found in a burglary, so why didn't he leave immediately after taking his things, and had to wait for Shen Feng to come back?" ”

"Wait, you say, Shen Feng...... Come back? ”

"Yes, you think, if Shen Feng wasn't there at the time, how could he not have heard the movement of the murderer and Shen Haoxiong's dispute?"

Ji Xia slowly walked into the hall of the Shen family again, pointed to several wounds on Shen Haoxiong's arm and said to Gao Han: "These stabbing wounds are all on the outside of the arm, and they are obviously resistance wounds caused by the dispute with the murderer. If Shen Feng was at home at the time, he would definitely hear the movement, so I deduced that Shen Feng must not have been at home at that time. ”

Gao Han thought about Ji Xia's words carefully, nodded thoughtfully, and agreed.

"So, back to the question just now, why didn't the murderer leave immediately after taking the things?" Ji Xia's two eyebrows wrinkled together unconsciously.

"There is another place I don't understand" Ji Xia turned his head to Gao Han and said: "Brother Gao, you see, the fatal injuries of the other two deceased were all on the front, but Shen Feng was stabbed in the back and died of excessive blood loss. ”

"This is not difficult to explain, it may be that Shen Feng found his parents lying on the ground after returning home, and he was so frightened that he quickly ran for his life, but was discovered by the murderer, and the murderer stabbed him from behind." Gao Han pondered for a moment and explained.

Ji Xia still had doubts in her heart, and she was not completely persuaded by Gao Han's explanation, her eyes were attracted by a special shape of blood on the ground, and she muttered, "Really? ”
