"Boss, are we going to patrol the city?"

"What kind of city to patrol, aren't you annoyed to patrol the city every day? Can't you do something else? ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Go play script killing."

"What?"

"Boss, what's that?"

"Are you 100,000 why? Follow the master, and the master will take you to immerse yourself in the script killing. ”

After passing a few streets, they came to the Criminal Department, and after showing the official document of the investigation, the doorman let them in, at the turn of summer and autumn, the Criminal Department was busy, and the backlog of several big cases in his hands were urging the closure of the case, and a Director Liu came in from outside, and warmly received Su Xiaolou and his party, saying that he was the person in charge of the murder case of Donglin Academy.

After some talking, Su Xiaolou knew that dealing with homicides was so troublesome, and big homicides often used off-site investigations, such as Henan's and Hebei's. This case involves honorable nobles, so the inspectors of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department should investigate and handle it together.

The director of the Huzhou Clearance Division is on his way to arrive, and it will be there in the next few days, and when he arrives, the case can begin to investigate.

Director Liu took out a few files and gave them to Su Xiaolou: "The scene is recorded here, the autopsy results, the deceased's pre-life information, etc., adults take a look" Su Xiaolou took the file, probably glanced at it a few times, and Director Liu continued: "After receiving the news yesterday, the officials of the Ying Tianfu immediately rushed to see a person hanging on the beam with hemp rope, and the hemp rope on the beam was neatly strangled, and a hanged person would struggle violently before he died, and there could be such neat strangulation marks on the beam, so they suspected that he killed and disguised himself as suicide. ”

Su Xiaolou rolled up the file and handed it to Director Liu: "It does sound like he killed him!" ”

Director Liu asked: "The scene has been blocked, and there is not a drop of blood sticky, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"No, no."

Director Liu asked again: "The corpse has been stored elsewhere, it is still fresh, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Don't go" Su Xiaolou was not very interested in a corpse, so he immediately refused.

"It's okay, after Director Cui of the Huzhou Qing Officials Division comes over, we will go to check on the deceased together, and the province will run back and forth."

Su Xiaolou reacted: "It stinks at that time!" Smoke can smoke people to death! ”

Director Liu said helplessly: "Where the responsibility lies, the boss attaches great importance to this case, if it is a crime of dereliction of duty because of this trivial matter, it will not be cost-effective." ”

"What Lord Liu said is that when Lord Cui arrives another day, we will go together, and it seems that there will be nothing to do today, so Su will leave." Su Xiaolou was just about to leave when he was stopped by Director Liu.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Now there are so many things, how can it be okay! We are about to leave for Hangzhou, the first student who died was a person from Hangzhou, and since it was found out last night that the deceased was not a suicide, we have to re-test the body of the first deceased. You may be able to find clues to the murderer. ”

Su Xiaolou was surprised: "You mean that we have to go all the way to dig people's graves?" ”

Lord Liu said helplessly: "It's an investigation." ”

"Okay" Su Xiaolou asked, "How many people can I bring?" ”

"It is not advisable to delay too much time here, it is useless to go too many people, just one. The boat is already waiting, Master Su hurried back to prepare. ”

"Got it, got it."

On the way back, Su Xiaolou took a look around, and Xiong Er was the most suitable, and the other old ones, the blind ones, and the weak ones, so Xiong Er was willing to go.

The Jiangnan River is crisscrossed, and the waterway is much faster than the land route, Su Xiaolou and Liu Daren and their party have to take a carriage to Changzhou first, and then take a boat along the Jiangnan Canal, that is, the southern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then take the land to change the carriage day and night, non-stop to the deceased's home in Hangzhou, along the way to eat and sleep well, Su Xiaolou felt that his body was not his own when he arrived, this is really not a human sin!

Digging graves was a taboo in that era, which meant disturbing the peace of the deceased, and the family of the deceased was originally desperate to stop crying and refusing to make trouble, or was Lord Liu moved to reason with emotion, holding a pair of parents' hands with tears in his eyes, and said impassionedly: "Do you really want to watch the murderer get away with it, let your son die an unknown death, and be a lonely ghost?" ”

Su Xiaolou had a sour nose when he said it, and finally said that he was moving this pair of old people.

Behind a small hill in Monkey Ridge, a Taoist priest paid a super-ritual to the deceased in front of the grave of the deceased.

The two old men stood next to them and cried heartbreakingly, how could the white-haired people send the black-haired people without pain, and they tried their best to cultivate such a tribute, thinking that the family was hopeful, and they could finally shine on the lintel, and finally died in a foreign land.

It has only been a few days since the burial, the soil is still soft, and several strong men quickly dug up the coffin, tied the hanging rope and hung it on the ground, the two old men have already fainted from crying, and Director Liu beckoned someone to carry them away.

After some beating, the lid of the coffin was pried open, and the stench of corpse decay spread out in an instant, and it poured into the nose strongly, stirring people's stomachs upside down, and several people couldn't control a burst of vomiting, Su Xiaolou and Xiong Er also vomited and couldn't straighten their waists, not how scared they were, it was just an instinctive reaction of the body.

The servant was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, and calmly walked over with tools on his back for an autopsy.

Lord Liu pretended to look at Su Xiaoloulou jokingly: "Lord Su, let's go over and have a look?" ”

Su Xiaolou looked at the appearance of Director Liu's swollen face and fat man, walked over and pulled his arm to the coffin: "Let's go!" Lord Liu, that's what we mean, we're together. ”

Director Liu finally couldn't hold back anymore, hunched his body and retreated, no matter how he pulled away: "Don't, vomit...... Su vomited...... Just kidding......"

Su Xiaolou couldn't help but vomit and said: "Lord Liu, where the duty lies, the boss attaches great importance to this case, if it is punished for dereliction of duty because of this trivial matter, it will not be worth it." ”

"Master Su, I'm sick...... Wrong...... Leave me alone......"

Su Xiaolou saw that the bile that Master Liu vomited was almost finished, so he let him go away, mainly because he himself was a little unable to bear it.

Soon the autopsy was over, and he came over to report: "The deceased did not commit suicide by hanging from a beam, but was first strangled to death and then hung on a beam to disguise himself as a suicide." ”

"What's the credentials?"

"Two adults, there are obvious dark purple marks on the neck of the corpse, if the strangulation marks of the cantilever suicide will obviously be up, and there will be no traces on the back of the neck, the strangulation marks of this corpse are indeed an inch down, there are also slight marks on the back of the neck, and the strength is also deviated, obviously not died of suicide by the cantilever beam."

"Why didn't the post-mortem work come out at that time?"

"The murderer is very careful, the strangulation and the hanging are the same tool, the two ways of death are very close, and the naturally formed scars are also very close.
