Chapter 8: Copycat Crime
If this was in the past, Ye Caitang treated the evidence so roughly, and he didn't even use a glove, he would definitely be packed into the evidence bag by the director without hesitation, and then thrown into the trash can to write a review.
But now that no one cared about her, she let out a long sigh of nostalgia.
He showed the handkerchief and his hand that he had ravaged vigorously: "Although they are both two black ribbons, the quality is different, the first one is of poor quality, and it may fade after being rubbed against water." And this one, which is a fine satin, will not fade no matter what. ”
Neither on the handkerchief nor on the hands, there was no color on it.
This is indeed a situation that they didn't find out before, Xia Yue said: "It's a pity that when the first victim was killed, although there were people at the scene, there were many people and chaos. The wind and rain were heavy, and the black ribbon didn't know where it was blowing. ”
Ye Caitang remembered the environment by the Octagonal Pavilion, which was indeed more troublesome.
The pavilion is surrounded by water on all sides, there are many lotus leaves on the water surface in this season, there are many shrubs in a row of green bamboos by the promenade, the wind is heavy and the rain is heavy, a ribbon is blown by the wind and does not know where to float, it is really difficult to find.
But Ye Caitang said categorically: "Look for it again, maybe the ribbon sank into the water after getting wet, and fell on the lotus leaves, and it was a big deal to pull out all the lotus leaves in the lotus pond...... This is a ribbon that is not a piece of paper, and it is wet, even if it is windy, unless someone takes it away, otherwise it will not be blown out too far. ”
Liu Sha took a breath of cold air: "My eldest lady, do you know that pool of lotus flowers, if you pull them out one by one, it will take a lot of effort?" ”
"Yes." Ye Caitang said: "However, if we find another ribbon, we can determine whether this color has fallen from above, and if so, we can get a very important conclusion." ”
It's a fuss that I haven't seen the world, let alone a lotus pond, for a piece of evidence, rummaging through dozens of tons of garbage mountains and garbage seas, Ye Caitang has not done it.
Besides, she doesn't need to look for it now.
"Ye Caitang is right." Xia Yue said: "If we can find the ribbon that strangled Lin Ling, we can determine whether the two murder weapons are really different, if they are different, then the speculation that we have always taken for granted is completely wrong." ”
Liu Sha was a little puzzled: "My lord, what do you mean?" ”
"Because the victims were all hanged and in the same place at a similar time, we always thought that the murderer killed two people in a row." Xia Yue said in a deep voice: "But if the murder weapons are completely different, it is entirely possible that the murderers are two people." ”
Yes, Ye Caitang looked at Xia Yue with great satisfaction, although this Lord Xia is not a thing in some ways, he is still a smart adult, and he doesn't have much trouble talking.
This conclusion really reverses previous speculation.
Wang Tong couldn't help but say: "How is this possible, isn't this the girl wearing clothes, watching what others wear and learning what to wear." ”
Ye Caitang said casually: "It is not uncommon to imitate crimes. ”
Xia Yue said: "What did you say? ”
Ye Caitang thought about what he had just said and repeated: "I said, imitation is not uncommon, am I not right?" ”
In fact, there has always been controversy about how to inform the society of the case, and some cases are not unclear, they dare not say it clearly, and they are afraid that there are people who have intentions to imitate the crime.
"It's not uncommon to commit crimes by imitation." Xia Yue said slowly: "What is strange to me is, how can you know these things except for the autopsy?" ”
"......" Ye Caitang was only slightly stuck for a second, and then immediately said: "The autopsy is taught by my father, and the others are self-taught, aren't they all related, don't you have more skills, and you can get more for more work." ”
Liu Sha and Wang Tong were both impressed by Ye Caitang, seeing how diligent and motivated a teenage girl was. They may not be able to summarize the four words of imitation crime.
Xia Yue was silent for a moment: "Very good, I appreciate you." ”
"Thank you, sir." Ye Caitang immediately said: "I will definitely continue to work hard and perform well." ”
Strive to materialize the appreciation of adults, increase wages is the last word, and sugar-coated shells are rolled out.
Xia Yue also smiled, very good, he is not afraid of raising wages, but he is afraid that his subordinates are all rice buckets.
Wang Tong looked at the black ribbon in Ye Caitang's hand and sighed: "If the murderer is two people, then this case is even more complicated." ”
Liu Sha said brightly: "My lord, I will arrange for someone to go to the lotus pond, even if I strip the lotus leaves and drain the pond water, I have to find another black ribbon." ”
Xia Yue nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Sha ran away, and Wang Tong said: "I'll take someone to check on the Meng family and Lu Waibei to see if there is any hatred." ”
Wang Tong also ran away.
can't lose to Ye Caitang, don't want that face.
Ye Caitang looked at Xia Yue, then what should I do, two taels of silver a month, I have to do something, otherwise how can I be embarrassed to take the money.
Suddenly, Ye Caitang said: "By the way, my lord, are there any other hidden secrets in this case?" So it was taken over by Six Doors so quickly? ”
"You're really observant." Xia Yue said: "Actually, there have been similar incidents before, since you have joined the Six Gates, I will show you the file later." ”
Ye Caitang took a deep breath, and was interrupted by Xia Yue to say something.
"Go back and clean up." Xia Yue said: "Move here at night, and I'll ask someone to clean up the room for you." ”
Ye Caitang was shocked: "Move today?" ”
"Or else?" Xia Yue turned around and walked out: "Do you want to choose an auspicious day, and carry you in a sedan chair?" ”
Ye Caitang didn't dare to do it, so he went home, and he talked nonsense to Mother Lin for a reason, and he carried his small package and lived in the staff dormitory arranged by Xia Yue for her.
Although Xia Yue is not very easy to get along with, he is still good to his subordinates, Ye Caitang has a house by himself, and the utensils in the house are all available, even better than his own home.
After packing up his things, Ye Caitang went to the cafeteria to eat a few bites in a hurry, went back to the house to wash, and did not rest, but took out a paper and spread it on the table, and took out a pen and inkstone.
Lin Ling was still lying in the cold and dark morgue, and Mother Lin's swollen eyes were still in her head, even if it wasn't for two taels of silver, just for her sisters, she couldn't help but help.
Ye Caitang wrote a name on the paper, Lin Ling, victim, number one.
Write a few more words, Victim, Number Two.
Two victims, she doesn't know No. 2, but with her understanding of Lin Ling, this innocent and simple girl, her whole life has been near Baixia Village, it is inevitable to say that there are quarrels with people, but if you want to say that hatred is to the point of killing her, she really can't think of it.
Ye Caitang slowly wrote down all the people who are currently known and related to the case.
