The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 245 Blood Splash

"Lord Zhizhou, the trace of blood on the dagger is wrong."

This is the first time Fang Zhizhou has heard of this statement, "Traces of blood?"

"Yes."

Not only Fang Zhizhou was confused, everyone was confused.

Chen Yuan bowed, "Master Zhizhou, I dare you to ask for two double-edged daggers similar in size to this dagger and the same bloodletting trough, as well as two live white rabbits, a white porcelain rice bowl, and two pieces of rice each measuring one foot in length and width. white coarse cloth."

"It's not difficult."

Fang Zhizhou nodded casually, and the two yamen servants ran out immediately.

Before waiting for half a stick of incense, the yamen servant brought what Chen Yuan needed.

"Master Zhizhou, the next verification needs to be killed on the spot, and my subordinates request to move out of the hall." Killing a rabbit with a knife in the court is also an insult to the court.

Since coming to ancient times, Chen Yuan has really understood all kinds of taboos.

I don't want to fall into the trap of others because of the details.

In fact, it is easy to understand that when the courts of later generations try cases, they will not allow people to enter with knives and kill rabbits...

"can."

Chen Yuan walked outside the hall and ordered two yamen servants to help, "Two yamen servant brothers, please put the blood of this rabbit into this bowl."

Who wouldn't kill a rabbit and let it bleed?

The two yamen servants quickly and swiftly cooperated to kill the rabbit in public, just like killing rabbits normally.

The white porcelain bowl was half filled with blood.

Chen Yuan picked up the shiny and clean dagger in the tray with her left hand, and the bowl filled with blood with her right hand.

The blade was pointing down, and the outside sloped downward, pouring half the blood on each side of the dagger.

"Brother Yamen, please hold the handle of the knife and keep the blade in a drooping posture. Don't wipe off the blood on the blade."

"Oh."

The first dagger is finished.

Chen Yuan grabbed a piece of cloth, stuffed it on the collar of her clothes in the same way as wearing a napkin when eating western food, and unfolded it so that it could not fall off.

Looking at another yamen servant again, "Brother yamen servant, please grab this rabbit. I'm going to stab it in a while. You'd better not grab it in front of your chest."

The yamen servant understood what she was going to do, so of course he didn't dare to hold the rabbit to his chest.

The yamen servant called another brother, one of them held the rabbit's forelimbs, the other held the hind limbs, and pulled the rabbit straight.

"I'm doing it."

Before the rabbit could react, Chen Yuan quickly stabbed it and pulled it out again.

The amount of blood on a rabbit must not be the same as that on a human.

But after the dagger is inserted, blood will also splash.

The amount of blood is different, and the degree of blood spattering is definitely different, but Chen Yuan does not need to completely reproduce the traces of human blood spattering at this moment.

Chen Yuan looked at the splattered blood traces on the dagger with satisfaction, and smiled.

"..."

very scary!
The onlookers swallowed their saliva.

Huo Shuliang only felt that her smile seemed to let him see a ray of light when he was in a desperate situation.

"Lord Zhizhou, look." Chen Yuan took a step back, and turned the dagger in her hand, the front, back, side, and blade to the direction of Master Zhizhou.

Then, she looked at the servant holding the knife again, "Just show the dagger in your hand to the adults like me."

The yamen servants did so.

Fang Zhizhou glanced at it, and then suddenly realized, "I know, the trace of blood on the murder weapon is exactly the same as the one where the yamen servant put blood in a bowl, and slowly poured it on the left and right sides of the knife."

Chen Yuan nodded, pointing to the dagger in her hand, "Yes, human blood is much more than rabbit blood. If you stab a human heart with a knife, the blood will splash out, and the splash will be everywhere in front of the stabbed person." Splashes of blood, including the hilt and bottom of the handle."

"As for the dagger that was found as evidence, it was too clean, only six or seven tenths of the lower face had blood stains, and two or three tenths of the upper face had no traces of splashed blood, although it was wrapped in cloth. There was some blood on the edges, but on closer inspection it wasn't blood splatter."

"In addition, when a knife is inserted into a person or an animal, the depth of insertion on both sides of the knife should be the same. In this way, it is impossible for the two blood lines to be high on one side and low on the other, and it is even more impossible to cause a blood line to be so oblique. If one line is so slanted, the two lines should be the same height and slant in one direction."

Fang Zhizhou already understood.

Chen Yuan turned around again and showed it to the common people.

They didn't understand the autopsy, but the common people also killed livestock during the Chinese New Year. After she said it, they also understood.

Fang Zhizhou walked back to the hall and sat on the seat, "This murder weapon was wrapped in a cloth by someone who stole Huo Shuliang's dagger, poured blood on it, wrapped it in a cloth, and buried it in the back mountain."

Chen Yuan put the dagger in her hand back into the tray, then removed the white cloth and gloves in front of her, and put them into the tray one by one.

Re-entering the court, Chen Yuan added, "My lord, the person who stole Huo Shuliang's dagger was very careful when pouring out blood. I think the murderer had already taken care of the clothes he was wearing when he killed Xie Jiyong. Otherwise, he didn't have to be so careful." A slow pour of blood that he can splash on."

Fang Zhizhou thought about it following her analysis, "What Chen Yuzuo meant was that when the murderer poured blood, his clothes were clean, but he needed fresh blood to pour it on the dagger. He couldn't kill a man to change his clothes once, and kill a beast to change his clothes again. Clothes, and pouring blood, it’s too troublesome."

Fang Zhizhou suddenly realized, "I understand, the murderer didn't kill the livestock himself to get the blood, he must have gone to a place where he can get the blood to get the blood."

This is someone else's territory, and Chen Yuan sticks to her duty, only doing what she's supposed to do, and doesn't try to grab the job of "push officials" for case analysis.

Fang Zhizhou usually mainly deals with government orders within its jurisdiction, and does not have to try each case by itself, and has special officials and subordinates to investigate the case.

It's just that the person who died this time was the hope that Xie Jiagang recognized, and it was Qiu Wei who was killed in the state school when he was approaching. The impact was really bad, so he personally supervised it.

Being able to deduce the truth by himself, Fang Zhizhou felt the joy of Guanzhi County at this moment, "The person who can steal Huo Shuliang's dagger and kill people in the state school must be someone who is familiar with Huo Shuliang and Xie Jiyong, and he is from the state school. people."

"The murderer met Xie Jiyong in Shuyuan at night, had a dispute, and killed Xie Jiyong. The murderer was frightened and remembered that Xie Jiyong had beaten Huo Shuliang during the day, and then thought of the golden cicada's method of getting rid of the shell, which was caused by disasters. Huo Shuliang's knife was blamed on him."

Almost falling into the murderer's tricks, Fang Zhizhou was very annoyed, no one wanted to be played by the real murderer.

"He Mu, Wu Zheng, you two quickly take someone to investigate. During these days, among the teachers, students, handymen, and cooks in the state school, has anyone left the state school to go to the vegetable market to buy blood? The student went to the kitchen to ask for blood."

"Yes, my lord!"

The yamen servant took the order, turned around and left.
