After discovering the first bones, Liang Zhijie and Li Fei returned to the kitchen.

The axe was found in a pile of firewood, proving that the perpetrator had the intention to hide the murder weapon. The blood on the wall was splattered, and the proximity to the firewood proved that the kitchen was the scene of the first crime. The blood stains on the walls and the blood on the axe handle were not wiped clean, proving that the perpetrators did not handle the scene very carefully, or did not treat the scene at all.

Liang Zhijie stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at the entire layout of the kitchen, and the more she looked at it, the more awkward she felt. She asked Li Fei: "What is the kitchen like in your hometown?" How do I find this layout a little strange. ”

"It's a little strange that people have a right-facing mentality, and they habitually put things that are convenient on their right. Like my grandmother's house, on the right hand side of the door is a stove with a fire, and next to the stove is a cutting board, and next to the cutting board is a water tank, and next to the water tank may be a rice bowl or something. Firewood is generally not placed in the house, and if it is placed, it must be the farthest from the stove. Everyone has fire awareness. ”

"Is it possible that the user is left-handed?"

"Unlikely, my aunt is left-handed, and her kitchen is also right-handed."

"Let's move the cabinet over there and take a look."

Liang Zhijie pointed to the cabinet in the kitchen. The cabinet is hollow and carved, with a strong sense of age, and it is also a valuable object in the past, but it is a pity that it is bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants. When I opened the cabinet, I found that there were only a few bowls in it, and this bowl looked like it had been put up in a hurry.

"Three people, five bowls, it feels a little less." Li Fei looked at the bowls: "When I was young, the conditions of my grandmother's house were not good, but no matter how bad the conditions are, there is no shortage of bowls." What if there is a relative in the family? What if you want to drink water and fill it with something? Even if it was knocked off by a rat, there should be debris in this cabinet. ”

"This cabinet was moved, and it's a little abnormal, like the firewood, not like the usual kitchen layout." Liang Zhijie turned around and shouted to the horse guide who was still standing in the courtyard in a daze: "Uncle Ma, come in and do a favor." ”

The horse guide didn't say a word, and helped Li Fei move the cabinet away.

Behind the cabinet was a bloodstain, and near the bloodstain was a faint bloody handprint.

"This hand doesn't look like an adult!" Li Fei compared it with his own hand: "It's a child's hand!" ”

"Is it Yang Xiaohan's? The bony skeleton we found in the side bedroom was broken at the wrist. Liang Zhijie looked at his wrist: "The broken bone of the hand is very neat, judging from the bone cutting surface, it should be cut with an axe." If this is the scene of the crime, if the white bone is Yang Xiaohan, then the bloody handprints on this wall are very likely to have been left by her after she was injured. With such a large incision, if there is no timely medical attention, the child is very likely to fall into a coma due to excessive blood loss, which will lead to death. ”

"The cabinet was moved from somewhere else, and they were there to cover up the big bloodstains."

"Move the firewood out of the way, so far, we haven't found the deceased's missing right hand." Liang Zhijie said, first picked up a bundle of firewood and put it aside. Li Fei and the horse guide did not hesitate when they saw this, you hold it, I hold it, and it will take a while to clean up the firewood pile on the ground.

Beneath the firewood pile was a patchwork of wooden planks, under which the squeaks of rats could be heard. Li Fei rolled up his sleeves and gave Liang Zhijie and the horse guide a look, Liang Zhijie took a step back, and the horse guide stood still and did not move. As Li Fei lifted the plank, a large pile of rats poured out of the pit under the plank. Those rats were black and pressed, and after being frightened, they ran around wildly, and some even stepped on Liang Zhijie's instep. Fortunately, she is a female criminal policeman, and she is used to seeing all kinds of scenes, if it is an ordinary woman, I am afraid that she will scream on the spot.

When the rats dispersed, they saw the skeleton of another male.

Men are neatly dressed, with shirts, pants, and even shoes and socks. Of course, the clothes were bitten by rats. They also found blood stains on the pieces of clothing that appeared to be splattery. The man's bones were intact, and there was nothing special in the pit, and it was impossible to determine the cause of his death.

"This is the second corpse." Li Fei looked at the bones: "The deceased is about 1.75 meters tall, and his shoes are 42 sizes. The shoes are miscellaneous and should have been bought at a roadside shop. The socks are not pure cotton, and this person should not be particularly particular about wearing them. ”

"I bought my shirt and pants at the market, and ten years ago, I had a dress like him." The horse guide looked at the clothes on the bones: "He should be Yang Xiaohan's father, but why did he die here?" Who is the murderer, is it his later wife? ”

"Two of the three in the family died, and the rest of them are not the murderers." Li Fei turned over the bones: "Team Liang, there is something behind." ”

Because the bones were lying on their backs in the pit, their backs were not eaten by rats, and their clothes were relatively intact.

"I think I've found the cause of his death." Li Fei pointed to the hole on his back: "Team Liang, look, there is a hole here, and it looks like that kind of big iron nail." ”

Li Fei asked Uncle Ma to help, and carefully took off the clothes on the bones. As a result, a rusty iron nail was found in the skeleton of the deceased.

"This place should be the spine, and this iron nail is a place." Li Fei took the iron nail and watched it repeatedly: "Team Liang, it's not an accident, this iron nail was smashed in." I guess the murder weapon should be the axe. You see, there are marks of being beaten on the back of the nails. ”

"Our initial inference was wrong, the blood stains on the axe were left by the murderer, and they were also left by the murderer when he committed the murder, but not when the murderer committed the murder for the first time." Liang Zhijie seemed to be saying a tongue twister, but before she stunned Li Fei, she held the axe with her own hands.

"The blood was left at that time, but it's a pity that it took too long, and the fingerprints were all polished by the years." Li Fei said regretfully: "The murderer escaped, something happened in Tangou Village, and we are afraid that we will not be able to catch this murderer." ”

"I'll catch it." Liang Zhijie looked at Guide Ma: "The person who poisoned Uncle Ma must be related to the murder of the Yang family." You forget, Uncle Ma said, the shirt he received was not red, but the clothes were stained red with blood. The little girl ran away from Yang's house, and not long after, the villagers of Tangou Village died en masse. Not surprisingly, the night Uncle Ma saw the little girl was the time when the Yang family's tragedy occurred. ”

"Uncle Ma saw a little girl, the little girl is not Yang Xiaohan, so who is she? If the murderer is not Yang Xiaohan's stepmother, then where is Yang Xiaohan's stepmother? Li Fei looked around the entire kitchen: "Could it be true that as Team Liang said, she died, and her body was buried somewhere in this house." ”
