Chapter VI: Solving Cases
"Adults know that if you want to solve the case, you must have enough clues, and the corpse is one of the keys to solving the case. If you can trust me, give me the body, and after three days, the grass people will give me the answer you want. ”
After Xu Changshou finished speaking, he then looked at Zhang Xianling, who was sitting on top of the court, his eyes were full of determination.
"Okay, the official will hand over the body to you, how to solve the case, the official doesn't care yet, you just need to find out the result that the official wants in three days."
"Recess!"
After the adjournment, Zhang Huaili and the others all left, Xu Changshou looked at the corpse on the ground, and the inexplicable apprehension in his heart turned into a little depression.
In his last life, he was a security guard, not a criminal investigation policeman, not a forensic doctor, and identification? Completely impossible.
He didn't know what clues he could get from a dead man.
The only thought was to delay as much time as possible, but he had to do something in this time, otherwise he would be a pit teammate in three days, and he would have to put himself in it.
Returning to the dart game, Xu Changshou breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper Han and Xu Darthead each performed their duties, busy with the outside world, and took care of the deserted dart game.
In the main hall of the dart game, only Xu Changshou and the corpse were left.
"Getting the body is only the first step, the key is where the clues come from, the murderer seeks money and kills, frames others and wants to exculpate, then you must first figure out the identity of the body."
In ancient times, there was no relevant equipment, let alone DNA identification, fabricated out of thin air? This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
In addition, Xu Changshou felt that the Song family cherished the identity of a nobody so much, and it was inevitable to make a big fuss.
In the court and trying to get closer to the corpse, it is not like what a big family would do, Kyoto of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Song family, as a famous grain merchant in Yongle County, almost monopolized all the rice and grain business in Yongle County, not to mention that the Song family has a strong family business, and it will definitely not be too entangled in the life and death of a subordinate, at most a few taels of silver, a hundred.
Xu Changshou sighed with a long sigh, this may be the long-term ill of feudal society.
Conversely, it is illogical to attach too much importance to it.
"Unless...... This 'subordinate' is very important to their Song family, so what kind of identity do they want? ”
Xu Changshou pondered for a moment, as if he realized something.
He looked around at the corpse, sometimes slightly lifting the white cloth covering the corpse, sometimes trying to identify the corpse, but to no avail, because the corpse had been burned and its appearance was generally indistinguishable, let alone the identity of the corpse!
He groped around the corpse, and by chance, he was reminded by something hard.
The corpse had been burned beyond recognition, and Xu Changshou followed the hard object and found a strange rectangular thing on the corpse that had been burned by the fire and attached to the skin.
The reason for the fire was the carbonization of the corpse's clothes, thinking that this thing must have been carried close to him before his death, put it on his underwear, bonded to the fire, and inlaid on the skin like jade, and the whole body was dark and difficult to distinguish, so it was not discovered by the people of the county government.
Xu Changshou gently removed the cuboid-like thing and placed it in a tray covered with silk cloth.
After subtle treatment, the true face of Lushan is gradually revealed.
"Seals? How could a nobody of the Song family carry a seal close to him? Where did the seal come from? ”
"Wait......"
Xu Changshou looked around at the charred corpse and vaguely understood something.
"Fire? Char? Mushy? ”
He immediately examined the body.
Looking at the carbon-like substance on the corpse, I wondered for a moment......
presently
"Fabric? Clothes? I understand! ”
Xu Changshou instantly felt that his CPU was restarted again, and a series of brain waves ran through his cranial nerves until they all converged in his brain, completely clear.
"The deceased is by no means a pawn, the seal can corroborate it, but I don't know the specific identity."
At the end of the day,
After thinking for a long time, Xu Changshou fell asleep quietly.
Oh, a tactful and poignant voice came from outside the dart game again. Familiar but vague, Xu Changshou suddenly woke up.
"Crying? Strange cries? ”
Xu Changshou suddenly remembered the cry he heard not long ago.
"What's going on? Again! ”
He was surprised at first, then walked out full of curiosity.
"Who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
At first, he thought he had misheard......
Changping Street,
Xu Changshou followed the sound step by step to Changping Street, the surroundings were dark, ordinary people's homes rested early, and the faint starlight shone on both sides of the wide long street.
From time to time, the sound of a woman whimpering could be heard in the darkness.
Xu Changshou pushed the door out, left the Azure Dart Bureau, and followed the sound to grope in the dense alley.
In the dark, a shadow swept through the darkness, accompanied by a strange whimpering sound.
Xu Changshou hurried over non-stop and arrived at a dark alley, which was piled up with all kinds of debris, haystacks, broken wooden boxes, and scattered rubble fragments.
In the corner, on the edge of a black wall, leaned on a scrawny woman, dirty, tattered clothes, completely beggar's outfit, whimpering from time to time.
When he was young, when Xu Changshou was about to approach the woman in the corner, he vaguely realized that something strange was suddenly behind him.
A wave of murderous intent was quietly approaching him......
Xu Changshou immediately turned around, and at a glance he saw a mysterious man wearing a black mask and holding a mallet in both hands, his eyes seemed to be full of hatred.
The man approached him, ready to wave his hand to suffocate him.
Seeing this, Xu Changshou took a few steps back in an instant, and then stepped forward in an instant, came behind the man, grabbed the murder weapon in his hand with both hands, held it in his hand, and grabbed it again, making it difficult for him to move.
When he was young, Xu Changshou ripped off his mask, and the man's rough and dark face came into view, and the pawn was dressed, and the cotton and linen clothes on his body were shabby and stenching.
"Say, Who are you? Why did you sneak up on me? ”
Xu Changshou asked.
The pawn was stubbornly silent, and Xu Changshou increased his strength and threatened him.
Xu Changshou tried to pull out the saber from his waist again, testing the man's reaction.
Suddenly, the pawn's face was covered with sweat stains, and his expression was panicked.
At this moment, the girl in the corner suddenly stood up, leaning against the cold stone wall, revealing a weak face in the moonlight.
"Son's forgiveness, the folk girl has no intention of offending, please put down my pawn. If Childe asks anything, I will agree. ”
After listening to the woman's words, Xu Changshou probably understood one thing, the pawn in his hand must have something to do with the woman in the corner.
"Miss, if you want to kill him, listen to him, you don't have to worry about me! You go quickly, don't ask the Song family to arrest it! ”
The pawn tries to amplify his voice. But Xu Changshou covered his mouth tightly.
"Huh? Who said they were going to kill you? ”
Oh, Xu Changshou put down the pawn.
This operation, the woman and the pawn were stunned.
"First, I'm not a killer of rivers and lakes, I won't kill people for no reason, and secondly, we have no grievances, why should I kill you, but ...... Why did you attack me? ”
After Xu Changshou put down the pawn, he looked at the vicissitudes of life and the curled pawn suspiciously.
"Childe forgive me, we actually have no murderous intent, but my young lady has been targeted recently, so I can only pretend to be crazy and stupid to avoid being in trouble, and I can only hide in the dark to guard against the killer."
The pawn hurriedly explained, sighing.
"Childe doesn't know, my young lady was wronged and expelled from the house, so this decision was made, which is really a last resort."
Hearing this explanation, Xu Changshou looked at the limp pawn on the ground.
"It's not safe for girls to be out in the middle of the night! What does your mallet protect? ”
Xu Changshou looked at the gray-faced and shy woman again.
"The son forgives the sin, the people's daughter's surname is Duan, her name is Xiaoyun, she is the daughter-in-law of the Song family in Yongle County, this is my personal pawn, because he was framed by the family, he has been here, and since then he has been removed from the family name and begged outside for a living."
Duan Xiaoyun said timidly.
For a while, Xu Changshou seemed to realize something! An earth-shattering secret seems to be unfolding gradually......
"Wait, you said you were the daughter-in-law of the Song family?"
Xu Changshou hurriedly asked, as if he had caught a clue to solve the case.
