"And there is only one murder weapon, and there is also a murder weapon, which was taken away by the murderer." Xia Yue raised his legs and went up to the wall, stood on the wall and looked over there, and then came down.

Ye Caitang is really envious of people who can fly eaves and walk on the wall, she can only look up below. The eyes are full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Xia Yue shook his head.

It means that there is no way to check over there.

"Generally speaking, homicide is divided into, vendetta killing, love killing, and robbery." Ye Caitang said: "My lord, judging from the scene, it is a typical robbery and murder case." ”

rummaged through the cabinets, although I didn't know how much money was taken, but in the Zhang family's house, there was indeed not a single tael of silver.

"Judging from the scene, it was indeed a robbery." Xia Yue said: "But look at the furnishings in the Zhang family's house, the clothes worn by the husband and wife, and how much money can be earned by setting up a small stall?" How much can I save? The murderer chose such a family to rob and kill, and killed two people, is it not worth it? ”

It's not worth it, it's very unworthy, but the murderer may not know it before rummaging through the cabinets.

"Your Excellency." Ye Caitang said: "Not every murderer can judge how much money the deceased has by relying on the furnishings in the room and the clothes of the deceased." ”

Xia Yue thought about it: "What you said makes sense. ”

The whole house was searched. There was no other harvest, and the two bodies were also transported back to the morgue through six doors.

Zhang Shuyue's body has no need for a second examination for the time being, the cause of death is simple, crude and obvious, Ye Caitang focused on examining the wound of Zhang Shuyue's wife Yue, and revised and drew a knife.

Ye Caitang took the painting to Xia Yue: "Look, my lord, this is the shape and size of the knife that I have inferred based on the shape and depth of the wound, I dare not say that it is definitely right, but it will not be too far behind." ”

However, this knife is not distinctive, Xia Yue looked at it and felt a little familiar.

"This knife seems to be common." Xia Yue passed the painting to everyone, one read it to the next, and when it reached the last person, he was sitting at the door.

Aunt Lin passed by and took a look.

"It's a knife in the kitchen." Aunt Lin's words shocked the dreamer: "Cutting meat and bones, using such a knife." ”

Saying that, Aunt Lin went to the kitchen, and sure enough, she brought a similar knife.

Ye Caitang compared, it's really.

"The wounds on the body of the male deceased were caused by a similar knife." Ye Caitang said: "Aunt Lin, is this knife available in every kitchen?" ”

"I don't dare to say that there are all of them, most of them." Aunt Lin thought about it: "After all, it's very practical." ”

Most of them are, and the clue of the murder weapon is meaningless.

It may just be that the murderer carried it from the kitchen at home, then took it away, and then washed the blood stains and put it back in his own kitchen.

The gods do not know the ghosts and leave no traces.

Another murder weapon was also brought back to the six doors, that is, a single-edged long knife that fell in the courtyard, and it was said that it was a long knife, but it was only relative to a dagger, but this knife was indeed uncommon.

"This knife is not practical, is it used in ordinary families?" Ye Caitang carried it with his hand, not to mention that it was quite heavy.

"I don't need it." Xia Yue said: "Liu Sha went to check, where would this kind of knife be used." ”

Although it looks bells and whistles, the workmanship is quite rough, and it must have been forged by a master in a small blacksmith shop.

Liu Sha carried the knife and went.

"Wang Tong, go and find out if the deceased has made a feud with anyone recently."

Small traders and hawkers will also get into trouble with the enemy, if it is to seek revenge, it may be the main thing to kill people, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find money, one is to make some money by the way, and the other is to cover up the real motive for killing.

Ye Cai looked at the wounds of the deceased over and over again, and said: "My lord, I think what you said is right, judging from the wounds, it is more like a vendetta, that is, the kind of murder with the intention of venting anger." ”

"Why?"

"Because the wound is really messy, both of them."

"The male deceased, Zhang Shuyue, had a total of nine knives on his body, of which seven were shallow, two were deep, and one of them was fatal."

"The female deceased, Yue, was stabbed a total of seven times, three of which were shallow, and four of them were deep, causing damage to multiple organs in the body, so she died in a short period of time, and there was no room for struggle at all."

"If it's a vendetta, in revenge for torturing the dead, that's in the past. But if it is a burglary and is found to kill people, this murder method is too cruel. ”

When he first entered the scene, Ye Caitang's first thought was like this. This was confirmed after a detailed examination of the wound.

Xia Yue nodded: "Start with the relationship between the deceased, vendetta is much easier to investigate than robbery." ”

The murderer of the robbery is random, maybe this vote immediately flew away last night, and the emperor was far away, and he might have been out of the city.

But vendetta must be someone he knows, and this person will definitely pretend to be calm and continue with his original life trajectory in order to cover up his crime.

Or he also flew away, but the people around the deceased suddenly left after the crime, which in itself is a clue.

"Let's investigate the vendetta first." Xia Yue determined the nature of the case: "In addition to Zhang Shuyue, Yue's mother's family, who they interact with on weekdays, and what the reputation is, they must also be investigated." ”

Vendetta and love killing are intertwined. Even robbery and murder are, many times the murderer starts with a single purpose, but after arriving at the scene, he will take the sheep and do something.

There have even been cases where multiple murderers in a case appear in order without knowing each other, injuring people, killing people, and robbing property, causing confusion and intricacy of evidence.

So Ye Caitang followed Xia Yue to check the Yue family.

On the way there, Ye Caitang was still thinking about a puzzled question.

"It's weird." Ye Caitang said: "My lord, why do you say that there are two murderers, but only one pair of shoe prints, is it that one carries the other on his back?" ”

What does this mean?

"There's another possibility." Xia Yue said: "In fact, there is only one murderer, but he is a person who can shoot the bow left and right, he holds two knives, his left hand is stronger, and his right hand is less powerful, which creates the illusion of two murderers." ”

"Is that okay?"

Ye Caitang never thought that a murderer would kill people by two methods. Even if this person can use both left and right hands at the same time, it is still killing one and then killing the second, how can it be at the same time?

Besides, the victim is not tied up, and he will not stand in a good position and wait for the murderer to stab.

"Why not?" Xia Yue said: "You are not a murderer. ”

Ye Caitang was speechless to refute.

"There are so many possibilities." Xia Yue said: "What you said is one carrying the other on his back. It is even possible that one of the two deceased is the murderer, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and after one deceased kills the other, the second murderer appears and kills him. ”
