The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 61 Backhand
After returning to the yamen in the sedan chair, the group immediately took out the murder weapon to extract fingerprints.

The yamen is brightly lit, which is much better than the lighting conditions in the Yizhuang.

Although Chen Yuan had already seen Chen Yuan extract fingerprints in Yizhuang, the freshness had not yet passed, and everyone was staring at Chen Yuan to take fingerprints.

Chen Yuan only felt that she was very much like a monkey in a zoo at the moment, surrounded by a group of tourists...

The wooden handle of the single-edged short knife is painted with natural resin instead of rough wood, so Chen Yuan can extract fingerprints.

She put on a mask to prevent her breathing from blowing away the powder, and sprinkled fine pearl powder on the handle of the knife. Since there was no plastic blowing dust ball, she could only gently fan with her hands to remove the excess pearl powder.

Soon, 6 white fingerprints appeared on the handle.

It can be clearly seen that the four fingerprints on the same side of the handle become larger in order from the handguard to the end of the handle, that is to say, the blade extends along the direction of the little finger.

Those who are good at using knives can see the problem at a glance, "This is a knife with the backhand."

Guan Zhixian, who believes in a gentleman and cooks far away, has never held a knife before. Hearing this, he looked at Yuquan, a knives expert, "How about holding a knife in the backhand? What about holding a knife in the forehand?"

"Go back to the magistrate, and let the villain demonstrate it again."

Guan Zhixian sat upright, full of curiosity, "Quickly demonstrate."

Yu Quan clenched his fists respectfully, and took out an unsheathed short knife from his arms.

"The blade is forward, and the blade sticks out in the direction of the thumb. Where the thumb is against the handguard, the knife is in the right hand." Yu Quan also made the action of slashing and stabbing, "Holding the knife in the front is more suitable for attacking. ."

Afterwards, Yu Quan reversed the direction of the short knife in his hand, "the blade is facing forward, extending from the side of the little finger, the little finger is next to the handguard, and the thumb is against the end of the short knife handle. , defending, blocking, and…”

"Suicide." With a flip of his wrist, Yu Quan's posture of holding the knife remained unchanged, but the blade was no longer forward, but toward his chest.

This demonstration was clear and clear, and Guan Zhixian suddenly realized it. Today, he really opened his eyes and learned a lot of experience, "I understand, it is more convenient for a murderer to stab Ren Xiuxiu in the chest with a knife in his forehand. And the fingerprints on this murder weapon told us that it was holding the knife in the backhand, so Ren Xiuxiu committed suicide."

"It's not always the case. It's also possible that the murderer stood behind Ren Xiuxiu and controlled her, and stabbed her left chest with a knife in the back." Wei Xiancheng, who would die if he didn't pick on him, showed everywhere that he was more thoughtful and meticulous than others.

"Yu Bantou said it, this is an assassination." Guan Zhixian cleared his throat in embarrassment.

During the one year he took office in Weiyu County, Wei County Chancellor's unconvincing lifting of the bar has cast a psychological shadow on him, and it is impossible to get used to this kind of thing.

But Wei Xiancheng is very good at picking thorns in eggs, and what he said is not completely unreasonable, and Guan Zhixian can't tear his face on the spot.

Chen Yuan's initial speculation gave Guan Zhixian some confidence, but he had to save some face, "Holding a knife in the back is a great possibility of suicide, and reasonable speculation is also a way to open up the idea of ​​solving the case. Whether it was homicide or suicide, after comparing the fingerprints, it will be clear."

At this moment, Chen Yuan has successfully extracted all the fingerprints on the dagger, and pasted it on the black cardboard, marked it, and started to extract the fingerprints on the wooden stick.

Seeing this, Guan Zhixian looked at Director Xiao, "Why haven't the files of the villagers of Dumin Village been brought?"

"I've already sent someone to get it. The archives of Dumin Village were sealed three years ago, and I haven't taken it out in these days. I'm afraid I'll have to find the bottom of the box for a while. I'll send someone to rush it." The errands are naturally It is not necessary for the master to make a trip in person.

Guan Zhixian, who was eager to solve the case, began to worry about offending Wang Qi and Dongchang when the fingerprint verification was promising. He had done a good job of atoning for him earlier.

If Wang Qi is not guilty, Guan Zhixian wants to show it well in front of Wang Qi, so that the other party knows that he has a heart for him to clear his grievances, and also helps him find an unprecedented method to extract fingerprints.

If Wang Qi was guilty, he had to die clearly and let him know that this method was not the idea of ​​a civil servant in the county magistrate.

To Quan beckoned and hid his thoughts, he said in a high-sounding manner, "Yu Bantou, take Wang Qi out of the prison and verify his fingerprints. Just take his fingerprints in front of everyone, and share his fingerprints with him. Compare the fingerprints on the murder weapon."

This time, even Wei Xiancheng didn't raise any objections. I don't know if he didn't dare or really agreed with Guan Zhixian's words.

"Yes." Yu Quan was a real person, and immediately took Ma Li and Zeng Shuisheng to the prison.

These three are all quick-legged activists. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were wearing prison uniforms and had iron chains on their wrists and ankles. Their faces were morbidly pale and their bodies were thin. Fan Er brought up Wang Qi, whose back was straight.

Blue ink pads and fingerprint cards were already placed on the case.

When picking up people from prison, Yu Quan had already explained his intentions to Wang Qi, so there was no accident.

Wang Qi cooperated very well, all ten fingers were stained with blue ink pad, and they were printed on the fingerprint extraction card of Wang Qi, the suspect in the Ren Xiuxiu murder case.

At this moment, Chen Yuan also successfully extracted the fingerprints on the wooden stick.

Logically speaking, this kind of wooden stick that has not been carefully sanded and painted is not easy to extract fingerprints, but it is stained with mucus and a small amount of blood, and the fingerprints remain on it after the liquid dries up.

A total of twelve fingerprints were extracted on the stick.

Chen Yuan handed over the fingerprint card of Ren Xiuxiu's case with a single-edged knife and a wooden stick fingerprint card of Ren Xiuxiu's case to Guan Zhixian County.

With the previous experience of comparison and verification, there are not so many fingerprints to interfere this time, and the four adults are combined in pairs, and the comparison is more serious than before.

Because they didn't dare to make mistakes, they exchanged papers with each other and checked them again.

Because of the seriousness and seriousness of the four adults, no one dared to express their anger. Even if they were anxious to know the result, no one dared to urge the four adults with the highest official positions in Weiyu County.

After checking and verifying, the four looked at each other, and they all saw in each other's eyes that this little life was finally saved.

The four adults raised their eyebrows in unison, but they were no longer frowning. The smart people had already guessed the result, but they didn't dare to guess the adults' thoughts without authorization, and waited quietly for them to announce the results.

The fingerprint comparison results have been clear, and Wang Qi was brought up to take his fingerprints in person, instead of waiting for the Dumin Village files, just to sell the county magistrate in front of Wang Qi, and naturally no one would take his credit.

Many people want to make friends with people from Dongchang and change their careers.But he was worried that he would be scolded by scholars, so he didn't dare to show flattery and flattery.

Guan Zhixian couldn't hide his excitement, but he tried his best to be soft and solemn, "After verification and comparison, the short knives and wooden sticks found on the beams of Wang Qi's thatched house do not have Wang Qi's fingerprints on them."
