Chapter 38 The modus operandi
"When I rearranged the stool, there was still a distance of about ten centimeters between the soles of the deceased's feet and the stool. How could a person who hanged herself not step on the stool? How did she commit suicide? Climb up the beam ?"

"The second loophole is the strangle mark on Xiangyun's neck. For a person who commits suicide and hangs himself, the rope will only be divided in the back of the head, and the ropes will not intersect, but the strangle mark on Xiangyun's neck intersects with the back of the neck .”

Zhu You looked at the autopsy and nodded, indeed.

"But I just saw Ye Tuiguan carefully look at Xiangyun's trouser legs and fingertips, why?"

"Good question, my lord, please look, there are scratches on the neck of the deceased, and bloodstains on the fingertips, which means that the deceased had struggled before death. If it was a person who hanged himself, even if he would struggle subconsciously, he would not The neck is grasped like this, only when someone strangles the neck from behind, will subconsciously pull the rope around the neck, and at the same time, the killer is a little taller than the deceased."

"Oh? Why?"

Ye Ke turned Xiangyun's body over and pushed back the hair on the back of the neck, so that the strangle marks could be seen more clearly in front of Zhu You. He pointed to the intersection of the ropes and said, "The position where the strangle marks meet is higher This is because when the murderer strangled the deceased from behind, his arms were slightly higher than the shoulders of the deceased."

Zhu You thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Is it possible that the murderer raised his arm slightly on purpose? If it is the same size as the deceased, it is not difficult."

"good question!"

Flipping the scalpel in Ye Ke's hand, he gently opened the clothes on Xiangyun's back, and pulled them halfway, revealing the white skin inside, which now had a large area of ​​abnormal dark red.

"This is? A scar!" Zhu You's eyes froze slightly.

"Exactly, there is such a large scar on Xiangyun's back. There is only one possibility, and that is that the deceased's back was pressed by something! Or, her back was pressed by something!" Ye Ke pulled the rope aside. He took it out and squeezed it in his hand, his eyes were inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I understand." Zhu You took the rope from Ye Ke's hand and made a motion around his neck in the air.

"After the murderer strangled the neck of the deceased, he turned around and used the rope to carry the deceased on his back. This caused the deceased to struggle continuously. pant legs."

After hearing this, Ye Ke glanced at Zhu You in admiration, "Amazing, my lord."

Zhu You looked at Ye Ke amusedly and said, "Then, it has to be Officer Ye Tui who has found out so many details to make such an inference. This officer is not worth mentioning."

"What is certain now is that the murderer is taller than the deceased, but I don't know the rest of the details. Let's wait until the interrogation results come out."

Just after the two sent the yamen servants to carry Xiangyun's body back to the Criminal Division, they were walking outside. At this moment, Ye Ke suddenly looked back at the furnishings in the room and frowned. The room seemed a little too tidy. , If you are killed, there will be no traces of fighting at all.

After Ye Ke informed Zhu You of his thoughts, Zhu You checked everything in the house, including the wardrobe, and there was no sign of tampering.

"Basically, the possibility of making money can be ruled out. There are still some silver taels in the cabinet, and the jewelry on the dressing table is still there." Zhu You said firmly.

But Ye Ke walked up to the table. At this moment, there was a tea tray, a teapot, and five tea cups on the table. Three tea cups were upside down in the tea tray. Two tea cups were placed on the table. There is unfinished tea, and the teacup is already cold.

"The deceased met someone before he was alive, and he was in this room."

"Since the two of them drank tea, it means that the murderer must be someone the deceased knew."

At this time, the yamen servant who went out to look around came back and reported that he had checked the surrounding area. From the small gate, there was a separate alley leading to the bank of the Yangliu River. There were relatively few pedestrians there, and no sightings were found. By.

Zhu You immediately said to Ye Ke: "It's nothing more than external and internal. Now it seems that it is very likely that an insider did it, although the possibility of breaking into the house and committing murder cannot be ruled out."

The two walked into the courtyard. At this moment, all the rooms were brightly lit, and the officers of the Criminal Division were busy asking for confessions. Soon, all the actors were brought back to the courtyard by the yamen servants. They all looked at the room where the dimly lit Xiangyun was, and looked at each other with concern.

After the yamen servant submitted all the confessions, Zhu You looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, there is a murder case here, and the murderer is likely to be in this yard. To be on the safe side, from now on, no one can Leave this courtyard, and when the officer finds out the case, I will return you to freedom."

Those actors were all panicked when they heard the words, at this moment someone said: "My lord, you have to investigate clearly, we are all innocent people."

"Then if the murderer is really among us, what should we do if he commits another murder?"

"If we don't start work these days, how can we live?"

Zhu You said with a cold face: "I will arrange people to protect your safety. Your daily life will not be affected. You should sing normally. However, everyone is not allowed to leave the Goulan. All daily necessities will be purchased by people." , I will arrange someone, is there any problem?"

The class leader hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Zhu You glanced at him and said: "Okay, since there is no problem, then go back to your own room quickly, come on, give me strict supervision, if there is any abnormality, immediately take it back to the Criminal Division."

"Yes!"

The class leader shut his mouth in embarrassment, and after leaving Gou Lan, the yamen servant on duty, to take care of him, Zhu You and Ye Ke took the rest of the yamen servants back to the criminal punishment department.

At this time, it was already late at night, and in the inner hall behind the yamen, Ye Ke and Zhu You were watching the confession over and over by candlelight.

goo~~~
Ye Ke's stomach began to sing.

She looked at Zhu You with some embarrassment, and found that he was pretending to read the confession seriously, but he hid his face behind the confession and suppressed a smile.

"I'm hungry, my lord, just laugh if you want to laugh, don't hold you back anymore."

Zhu You put down his confession, and said solemnly: "Officer Ye Tui, bear with it, you must know that the heavens will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their will, their muscles and bones, and their bodies and skin."

goo~~~
"Hahahahahaha, my lord, you are an honest man who says no." Unlike Zhu You, Ye Ke didn't hide it at all, and laughed freely.

Zhu You blushed, so he could only quickly order Jian Jiu to go to the restaurant to buy some food and wine.

"My lord. At this point, the restaurants are probably closed."

"Can't you reopen after closing?"

"Yes"
