During this period of time, under Xiao Yi's whipping, the work efficiency of the Anping County officers was greatly improved, and the list was listed after a while.

At that time, Xu Jinggang had just stitched up the body on his hand with the assistance of Chen Hu, and was further examining the body surface injuries of the deceased to see if he could find any useful clues.

Meng Anhe took a wad of paper and ran quickly to Xiao Yi's side, and said, "Xiao Shilang, because in the morning, we have found out all the missing women in these three villages in the vicinity in the past half a year, and now we only need to eliminate the women who do not meet the time and age of disappearance."

After all the things were eliminated, there were only four people left who could have died – Zhuo Yuting from Xiaoxi Village, 19 years old, who had disappeared in the afternoon four days earlier.

Liu Shuangshuang, 19 years old from Zhongling Village, disappeared in the early hours of the morning five days ago.

Ling Wei, 21, from Peach Blossom Village, disappeared four days ago in the evening.

The last one, also from Peach Blossom Village, is 20 years old and disappeared five days ago in the afternoon. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jing, who was originally concentrating on inspecting the wounds on the corpse, raised her head, and was about to say something, when she heard Xiao Yi say: "Among them, Liu Shuangshuang can also be eliminated, the deceased had eaten half an hour before he died, and Liu Shuangshuang disappeared in the early morning, at that time, no one usually eats a lot of food." ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi, and a little appreciation and pity quietly flashed in her eyes.

To be honest, excluding the chaotic relationship between this man and her body, she still recognizes this man's ability to solve the case.

partnered with him to investigate the case, I have to say that it was very enjoyable!

Meng Anhe was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly patted his head and said, "That's right!" The subordinates of such a simple thing didn't expect it! In this way, there are only three people left who may be dead! ”

He couldn't help but get excited, "In this way, things will be easy to do, although the deceased has nothing on her, but there is still a hairband left, and her family can always recognize the headband!"

However, why did the murderer take everything from the deceased's body, except for this hairband? ”

Xu Jing pursed her lips and said lightly: "From the murderer's behavior of deliberately hiding the deceased in a tree hole, it can be known that he was afraid that the deceased would be discovered, so he took all the things on the deceased's body, probably to prevent others from knowing the identity of the deceased."

And the reason why I didn't take the headband away, when I first saw the deceased, I found that her hairband was tangled in her hair, and the murderer obviously wanted to take the headband away, but he didn't seem to know how to untie the woman's bun, and he didn't pull the headband off for a long time.

At this time, it may be that he is impatient, or it may be that something suddenly happened that made him give up taking this hairband.

But his goal is already half achieved, and with this headband alone, ordinary people will not be able to determine the identity of the deceased in a short time. ”

And the longer the time drags on, the more difficult it will be to find the real culprit.

Xiao Yi glanced at Xu Jing and said, "I agree with what Xu Niangzi said, the murderer is likely to commit the crime impulsively, not a habitual offender, so he was obviously very panicked after the death, which left this flaw."

An He, you quickly take this hairband and ask the families of the three missing women to see if they recognize such a thing. ”

Meng Anhe immediately said: "Yes! ”

After Meng Anhe left, Xiao Yi saw that Xu Jing was still kneeling beside the deceased, so Chen Hu turned back and forth at the shoulders of the deceased, frowned slightly, looked pensive, and couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What else did Xu Niangzi find?" ”

Xu Jing raised her eyes and glanced at him, commanded Chen Hu to turn the deceased over, pointed to a certain place on her shoulder, and said, "I just found that there are several inconspicuous injuries on the shoulders on both sides of the deceased, which look like scars left by fingernails pinched into the flesh. ”

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, squatted down regardless of the image of his robe, took a closer look, and suddenly his eyes sharpened.

But I saw that there were indeed several tiny crescent-shaped scars on both shoulders of the deceased, three on the right shoulder, and four on the left shoulder!

The scars were deep and shallow, and one on the left shoulder near the armpit was so shallow that it could only be seen if you looked closely, and it looked like someone had grabbed the deceased's shoulder and accidentally left it.

"From the condition of the scars, it can be known that this was only after the death of the deceased, however, judging from various circumstances, the murderer should have been a man, not to mention that there were no similar nail marks on the deceased's body anywhere else, only on her shoulder."

Xu Jing frowned, and said word by word: "So I suspect that these nail marks are not left by the murderer!" ”

Xiao Yi couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her, and said, "Someone passed here after the deceased died, leaving these nail marks on the deceased's body. ”

"That's right!"

Xu Jing said with a deep face: "And it is very likely that he once grabbed the deceased's shoulder to determine whether the deceased was really dead, because he was too excited and shocked to control the strength of his hand, which left these nail prints."

It's just that since he found out that someone here is dead, why didn't he report it? Didn't even tell anyone?

And, if a person finds the body of a stranger, will they be so excited that they will go up and grab her shoulder?

Unless, he knew the deceased, and even more, he had some connection to the case......"

Xu Jing was pondering, but she didn't notice that the man opposite was slightly stunned when he found that he was very close to the woman opposite, and looked at her without blinking, and his eyes gradually darkened.

After a while, Xiao Yi retracted his gaze, his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, and he stood up and said: "Ordinary men need to work, and there are very few nails left, and looking at the size of the nail prints, it doesn't look like a man left them."

The owner of the nail marks was likely a woman, and once the identity of the deceased was confirmed, it would be possible to know which women around her might have left the marks. ”

Xu Jing also temporarily put away her thoughts and responded.

The most important thing now is to determine the identity of the deceased.

If the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, nothing else can be done.

On the side, Deng Youwei, who had been ignored for a long time: "......"

If he hadn't known that Xiao Shilang had never been close to women, he might have thought that there was something between Xiao Shilang and this.

No, how could Xiao Shilang, whom he admired, be such a person!

Definitely he felt wrong!

What's more, since Xiao Shilang experienced that failed marriage, there have been rumors in the court that the saint pities his confidant and wants to choose another good fate for him personally.

Shengshang grew up with Xiao Shilang since he was a child, and he has a very strong relationship with Xiao Shilang, and Shengshang personally took action, and he will definitely choose the most suitable woman for Xiao Shilang.

Come to think of it, when Xiao Shilang returns to Xijing, good things will be near.

The identification of the deceased went unexpectedly.

Soon, Meng Anhe walked back and saluted Xiao Yi and Deng Youwei: "Xiao Shilang, Deng County Order, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, it is Zhuo Yuting from Xiaoxi Village!"

Zhuo Yuting's mother died last year, leaving only her father, grandmother, brother and sister-in-law, and two nephews in the family, and they immediately recognized that the hairband was the one Zhuo Yuting used on the day she disappeared!

According to her family, four days ago, Zhuo Yuting and her sister-in-law finished eating together, they took the dirty clothes at home to the river to wash, and then they didn't see her go home.

The subordinates asked the people in the village, and learned that when Zhuo Yuting went to the river to wash her dirty clothes that day, there were still several women and women from the same village present, and we had already sent people to gather those people and ask Xiao Shilang and Deng Xianling to go over for interrogation! ”
