"So, Zuo Qing ......"

Zuo Qing, who was wearing a mask, trembled and stretched out his right hand, and Hong Xiangsong dipped the pen in vermilion ink and smeared his right palm.

"Alright, cover it on paper."

Zuo Qing spread his five fingers and printed his entire palm on the white paper.

Hong Xiangsong pressed Zuo Qing's palm tightly, and at the same time looked at everyone viciously.

"Everyone, see clearly, Zuo Qing has already stamped his handprint, and there is no fraud. Captain Tian, Director Yang, please be our witnesses for mother and son. ”

"No problem. Ma'am, it's done, isn't it? Director Yang said.

After Zuo Qing withdrew his hand, Captain Tian immediately stood up and took away the white paper with his handprint.

"By the way, what about the scroll?"

"Ahh The reels are here! ”

Lawyer Gu Gong hurriedly took out the scroll and handed it to Tian Chunda.

Tian Chunda said to the appraisal expert Teng Liang: "I will hand over these two things to you now, how long will it take to test them?" ”

"It takes a lot of time to make a report, but if you just need to determine whether the two handprints are identical, it will only take an hour to get the result."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Let me first explain to you that Mr. Teng Liang is an authority on fingerprints, so please rest assured. So, expert Teng, please. ”

"Okay." Teng Liang took these two mudras, and was about to get up—

"Ah, wait!"

Hong Xiangsong suddenly stopped him.

"It's only an hour, isn't it?"

"Yes, in an hour, I'll be here to report the results."

"That's it! Then, please come back to this room in an hour. Captain Tian, Director Yang, Mr. Gu Gong, and Officer Hao Dong, the meal has been prepared, please go to the front hall to use it. ”

Hong Xiangsong said that, then took the hand of Zuo Qing, who was wearing a mask, and got up to leave.

The others left the room separately, but each had a different look on their faces.

Director Yang said as if relieved: "Ah! In this way, the problem is solved. Hey? I'm a little hungry! Let's go to dinner together! ”

So they went to another room to eat under the guidance of the maid.

Just as they were about to eat, the two policemen who were in charge of finding the boat ran back wet.

"Director, there's something ......"

"Ahh The two of you have worked hard, are you hungry? The host has prepared the meal, so you two will sit down and eat! ”

"Yes, thank you. But what the director asked us to look for just now, there is news now. ”

"Ahh Is it? That's great. Captain Tian, come and see it too! ”

The wind was still strong outside, mixed with a downpour.

Under the leadership of the police, the group walked in the strong wind and rain with umbrellas, and finally came to the sluice; I saw a small boat covered with a large canvas at the mouth of the sluice.

"Ah, is that the boat?"

"Yes, we were lucky enough to find this abandoned boat next to the Guanyin Cape in the Lower Red Leaf Lake, if we had found it any longer, I am afraid that this important physical evidence would have been washed away by the heavy rain."

As he spoke, the detective lifted the canvas covering the boat; At this time, Director Yang and Tian Chunda couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

Because the boat was full of terrible blood stains, and the thick black blood was all over the boat, which was daunting.

Director Yang and Tian Chunda looked at this terrible scene and were speechless for a long time. After a while, Director Yang coughed a few times and looked back at Tian Chunda.

"Captain Tian, you guessed wrong this time. Because the murderer really used this small boat to transport the headless body. ”

"Yes! Looks like I did lose. But ......"

Tian Chunda cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Why did the murderer do this?" He replaced the head of the deceased with a chrysanthemum doll, but hid the body; Isn't that too unreasonable and weird? ”

"I don't understand that either. But now that we know that the murderer used this boat to transport the body, we have to send someone to the lake to retrieve the body to know the truth. You two go get ready as soon as you're done. Director Yang said to the two policemen.

"Yes, got it. By the way, Director, we have one more thing to hear. ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

"Kanazawa found a witness...... Yes! They're coming. ”

I saw a man about 40 years old, dressed in dark blue and wearing a dark blue apron around his waist, following the police.

It turned out that this man ran an inn called "Kashiwaya" in Momiji Valley, and his name was Kanazawa.

The valley is divided into upper and lower autumn leaves, and Hong Li's house is located at the end of the upper autumn leaves, and there are not many houses within half a mile of Hong Li's house, while the lower autumn leaves on the opposite side are crowded with residents.

At this time, Kashiraya boss Kanazawa spoke.

"I told the police brother just now that a strange customer came to my store last night......"

According to Kanazawa, the guest was a disarmoured soldier who wore a military uniform, military shoes, and carried a cloth bag on his shoulder.

However, this kind of attire is not surprising, and to the deep surprise of the owner of Kashiraya, this man wears a military beanie, and the brim of the hat is pressed very low, even the eyebrows are covered, and a scarf is wrapped around his neck, even above the nose, so that only two eyes can be seen on the whole face.

The owner and waitress offered him a room and brought him dinner as requested.

How did you know that the waitress came back from delivering dinner and told the boss: "Boss, that guest is so strange!" When he entered the house, he was still wearing a scarf, and I wanted to serve him next to him, and he actually called me out. In short, he didn't seem to want others to see his face. ”

After listening to the waitress's words, the boss also felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he took the passenger registration book to the customer.

I saw that the male guest who had just finished eating was still wearing a hat, and his whole face was almost wrapped in a scarf.

The boss had to take out the passenger register and say to him:

"This guest, please register your name."

"What is this?"

Although the male guest said this, he still filled in the following information in the passenger registration book that the boss showed him-

No. 1211, Building 5, Xingwang Community, Beicheng District, Nanguang City - Unemployed - Tian Sanping - 30 years old

"Hao Dong, immediately contact the Nanguang Public Security Bureau to see if the address and name are real...... Sorry boss, please keep talking. ”

"Yes." Hao Dong's criminal police immediately went to handle it after agreeing.

After being urged, the boss continued: "Alas! One thing I forgot to mention was that the customer came to my shop around eight o'clock, and then at about ten o'clock, the customer said that he had a friend who lived in the neighborhood and wanted to go out, and of course, he covered his whole face with a hat and a scarf. It wasn't until two hours later, at twelve o'clock, that I was about to close the door, when the guest suddenly returned, and he seemed very flustered, but I didn't ask him in particular......"
