Chapter 7: Discovery
Listening to the case, Liu Sha said: "Before, because everyone came out to work in the same village, Lin Ling's identity was confirmed at once. The second victim was in trouble last night, we asked around and no one knew him. He has ordered her portrait to be drawn and posted at the gates. ”
Not to mention that communication is very underdeveloped in this era, even in Ye Caitang's era, it is sometimes very troublesome to confirm the identity of the deceased. Fortunately, the face of the female corpse is intact, if there is only a skeleton left, it is really nowhere to find the iron shoes.
There were now two bodies in the morgue, side by side. Lin Ling had already changed into dry clothes, and Ye Caitang sighed again when he saw it.
This time, no one stopped her, Ye Caitang walked over, squatted beside Lin Ling, and lifted her chin.
Sure enough, Lin Ling's neck also had the same strangulation mark.
Ye Caitang said softly: "Lin Ling's scar is the same as the second female corpse, and it was also suffocated by the suffocation caused by the strangulation of the neck by silk. There were no secondary injuries on the neck, the Octagonal Pavilion was the scene of the first crime, and the body had not been moved. ”
Although the fatal injury was obvious, Ye Caitang still said: "Lord Xia, please avoid it, I want to check if there are any other injuries on Lin Ling's body." ”
Wang Tong couldn't help but say: "Isn't the fatal wound on the neck?" ”
"It can only be said that the neck is indeed a fatal wound." Ye Caitang said: "However, if you don't check, no one can be sure if there are other injuries." ”
Speaking of business, Xia Yue didn't say anything, and beckoned Liu Sha and Wang to get out of the house.
However, Ye Caitang carefully examined both of them, Lin Ling, like another woman, had no other injuries on her body, and the only scar, that is, a fatal injury, was the strangulation mark on her neck.
Outside the door, several people spoke in low voices.
Wang Tong said: "Miss Ye is really cautious, these two victims were hanged at first glance, and they were examined so carefully." ”
Xia Yue said officially: "The more carefully you do the inspection, the more helpful it will be to solve the case." ”
"Yes." Liu Sha also agreed: "What the adults said is right. But this murderer was really so arrogant that he killed two people in a row in half a day...... Still in the same place......"
Wang Tong hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Murderer...... Could it really not be human? I asked the villagers today, and they all said that the Meng family's old house was very evil, and when the Meng family was at its most prosperous, there were 100 people in the family, and then they were defeated somehow. ”
Liu Sha's voice was also unnaturally lowered: "I've heard about it too, but in this kind of abandoned house, there are all kinds of rumors......"
The people of the six doors are definitely well-informed, and the major cases in the country, the cases that can't be solved below, and the terrifying and supernatural ones will all be sent here. It's not unheard of ghosts killing people, most of them are blindfolds, and the ultimate murderer is still human.
But this time it was really too weird, there was more than one eyewitness, and everyone was watching. Or, they lie together. Or, they were drugged and hallucinated, Xia Yue had already interrogated several witnesses, and felt that neither was very likely.
Xia Yue stopped his subordinates' continued discussion of ghosts, and muttered: "Now the first thing is to confirm the identity of the second deceased as soon as possible, and in addition, check whether there is anyone in the Meng family who opposes the sale of the ancestral house." Also, the current owner of the house, does Lu Waibei have any enemies. ”
As it was being arranged, the door of the morgue opened, and Ye Caitang poked his head out of it.
"Excuse me."
The three of them stopped talking and looked at Ye Caitang together.
Not to mention anything else, just being alone with the two dead corpses for so long, Ye Caitang is very remarkable.
Xia Yue said: "What have you found." ”
Ye Caitang: "I want to ask if the black ribbons where the two victims were strangled are here. I'd like to take a look. ”
Xia Yue didn't understand why Ye Caitang asked about this, but he still said, "There is one that I haven't found yet." ”
Ye Caitang sighed, and he didn't even need to ask which one.
Because the second female corpse was found by them together, it was put down by Liu Sha and Wang Tong, and she took off the black ribbon hanging around her neck with her own eyes, and she would not find it.
Then what can't be found is only the one that strangled Lin Ling.
Xia Yue noticed that Ye Caitang's expression was strange, and hurriedly said, "Did you find anything?" ”
Ye Caitang nodded cautiously: "I found something on Lin Ling's neck." ”
As soon as they heard that there was a new discovery, the three of them hurriedly followed.
Lin Ling is no longer dressed the same as when she was killed, her mother brought her a dress that she was usually reluctant to wear, and re-combed her hair, although her face was still pale, she lay quietly as if she was asleep.
If Ye Caitang could call the shots at that time, she would not have been allowed to move the victim's body before the case was clear, there may be many clues in it, even if it was not found in the first round, there may be a second and third rounds of inspections.
But there was no but, Ye Caitang could only be very glad that Mother Lin just changed Lin Ling's clothes and combed her hair, and there were no more movements.
Ye Caitang raised Lin Ling's chin and pointed it out to a few people.
Everyone put their eyes together, only to see Ye Caitang pointing to the place, it was the bruise on Lin Ling's neck, glowing purple and black.
Liu Sha couldn't help but say: "Isn't this scar strangled out?" ”
"It's not for you to see the scars, it's on the scars." Ye Caitang pointed to a little more detail: "In this place, there is a little black here, you look at the color and texture, this is not a bruise, it is a pigment rubbed on." ”
This sentence made the three of them frown, Lin Ling's body was examined, and the six-door man surnamed Niu was called Niu Anbai, who was a fifty-year-old old connoisseur, very powerful.
But he couldn't see this little bit of scratch from a bruise, a very faint color, very close to the color of the scar.
Ye Caitang took out a handkerchief from his arms and rubbed it on the color, and sure enough, the snow-white handkerchief was stained with a very light black trace.
"Look." Ye Caitang gestured, and said, "I have taken a closer look, and there is no such color on the scars of the second corpse. ”
"Liu Sha." Xia Yue said: "Go to the evidence room and bring the black ribbon." ”
The black ribbon was quickly brought in, and it was a very ordinary one, and many clothes would have such a belt.
Ye Caitang took the ribbon without saying a word, first rubbed it on the back of his hand for a while, the back of the hand was red, and then rubbed it on the white handkerchief, poured a little water to wet it, and then continued to rub it.
