The river was surging, the bright moon was in the sky, looking at the body of the boatman in front of him, Xing Qianqiu's face was so black that frost could form frost.

The boatman's body lay in the boatman's house, with his back to the sky, his eyes wide open, and he did not bat at death.

The various furnishings in the boatman's room were all intact, not only undamaged, but even neat, and obviously not for the sake of possessions.

"A knife seals the throat, clean and neat, the murderer's methods are very good, and the martial arts are very high." Sun Chengzuo stood up, wiped his hands, and looked at Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, what do you think?" ”

"The corpse spots have appeared in large patches, pale red, distributed under the corpse, but they can still be moved, there are no bilateral corpse spots, and no corpse spots are fixed, indicating that the time of death of the corpse should be about 1 to 2 hours." Duan Ming checked it and said, "It's the time of Hai, that is, the time of unitary time to the time of Xu." But by that time it was already dark. ”

"A curfew has been imposed on the entire Linyang City, and from the beginning of the year, people in the city are not allowed to move at will." Duan Ming pondered: "So the people who came here are not ordinary people, and it is very likely that they are behind the scenes. ”

"His hands are full of calluses, especially his index finger and thumb, and he should be a good hand with a gun or a stick." Sun Yanzuo nodded: "He is a person who practices martial arts. ”

"Excuse me." Liu Zhi asked curiously: "He is a boatman, he supports the boat all the year round, isn't it normal for his hands to have calluses?" ”

"Lord Liu, you don't know." Duan Ming said with a smile: "Ordinary boatmen hold the boat, mostly holding the bamboo pole with both hands, exerting force downward, and the direction is single. Even if there are calluses, their location is mostly at the tiger's mouth, and the growth direction of the calluses is also more concentrated in the palm, tiger's mouth, and thumb. ”

"But this corpse, calluses are almost all over the palm, especially the thumb and index finger, indicating that the sticks he uses on weekdays are not only in the direction of the boat, but also should be used often to stab, pick, sweep, smash, etc."

"And this kind of person is not a martial artist, what else can it be?" Duan Ming said.

"Haha, what Mr. Duan said is very true." Sun Yanzuo looked at Duan Ming in admiration and nodded: "It is worthy of the commander who personally invited it, it is really extraordinary!" ”

"Mr. Sun has won the award." Duan Ming said with a smile.

Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming and Sun Yanzuo: "Okay, then do you have any conclusions?" ”

"Acquaintances commit crimes." Duan Ming looked at Sun Yanzuo, and then said: "The door of the room is not damaged, and the window is also closed, which means that the deceased himself opened the door for the murderer." However, during the curfew, the boatman has a ghost in his heart, and in the middle of the night, the third watch will not open the door at will, unless this person is someone he knows, such as a leader or a companion. ”

"Moreover, the deceased was a good hand, and his kung fu was not low. The other party killed people head-on, but the deceased didn't even resist at all, and was directly stabbed in the throat, then there are only three possibilities. Duan Ming said in a deep voice.

"First, the murderer is the leader of the dead, and the dead dare not fight back and dare not hide."

"Second, the murderer's kung fu far exceeds that of the dead, and the dead have no time to react."

"Third, the deceased trusts the murderer too much, and he doesn't have the slightest vigilance!"

"Okay." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and then looked at Liu Zhi: "How is the investigation of this boatman?" The person who practiced martial arts went to be a boatman, and he happened to be the boatman of Su Meng. Hehe. ”

"Investigating." Liu Zhi sighed: "However, the ship department recruited the boatman, and the investigation was not meticulous, and the information about this person was pitiful. Except for knowing that his name is Meng Lei, who has never been married and has lived in the Linhai area, the rest of the similar origins are unknown. ”

"Hmm. It looks like this ship division is going to have to be put in order in the future! Xing Qianqiu sighed, there was no way: "Continue to investigate, and investigate the people patrolling tonight and the surrounding neighbors to see if anyone has seen any suspicious people." ”

"Okay." Liu Zhi nodded, and then left in a hurry.

"Alright, then carry the body back to the Spiegel Division first." Xing Qianqiu continued: "There is still to be Lao Erwei to investigate carefully and see if there are more clues." ”

"Okay." Duan Ming and Sun Qizuo nodded.

However, because it was getting late at the moment, even if the room was lit, it was still dim and unsightly, so Duan Ming and Sun Yanzuo also went back to rest directly.

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Duan Ming rushed to the morgue and happened to meet Sun Chengzuo.

Sun Qizuo nodded, and the two walked into the morgue together and carefully examined the body.

And Xing Qianqiu didn't sleep all night, and led people to interrogate the people around him overnight, after all, the clues that he finally got after such a long time, if they were broken like this, Xing Qianqiu was unwilling.

It's a pity that despite a night's efforts, the people around me don't know anything.

After all, there was already a curfew at the moment, and as soon as it got dark, the nearby residents went to bed early, and they didn't pay attention to the situation outside at all.

After a night of hard work, Xing Qianqiu returned to the Spiegel Division and came directly to the morgue, leaning against the door of the morgue, closing his eyes and recuperating, waiting for the results of Duan Ming and the others.

"Old torture." Duan Ming came to Xing Qianqiu: "It's not me who said, you haven't slept all night, hurry up and take a rest." ”

"No problem." Xing Qianqiu opened his eyes and said calmly.

"Hehe, then you're guarding here for a fart?" Duan Ming pursed his lips: "Clues are rare for you?" Will it pop out on its own? Hurry up and go to bed, lest you faint again when you need to work. ”

......The corners of Xing Qianqiu's mouth twitched slightly, after so many years, no one dared to talk to him like this.

Then, Xing Qianqiu turned around and was about to leave.

"By the way, we haven't eaten yet, find someone to bring us something to eat!" Duan Ming shouted: "I want two steamed buns from Old Man Liu's family in the west of the city!" ”

After saying this, Duan Ming looked at the stunned Sun Yanzuo, and changed his words: "I want four!" ”

Xing Qianqiu's body paused, clenched his fists, and continued to walk out.

"Your Excellency." Xing Qianqiu was just about to walk out of the yard when he happened to meet Liu Zhi who rushed back.

"How's it going?" Xing Qianqiu's voice was very cold.

Liu Zhi glanced at Xing Qianqiu inexplicably, and sighed: "No, there are still not too many clues, I will take someone to the Ship Division again in a while." ”

"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Ask someone to go to the west of the city." ”

"Something happened in the west of the city?" Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked.

"No, there is an old man named Liu who sells steamed buns in the west of the city, go to his house to buy steamed buns." Xing Qianqiu took a deep breath: "I want four!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhi was stunned......
