Touring the Ming Dynasty

Chief arrester Shi Yufeng yawned and said, "It's late tonight, the rooms are all arranged, everyone go to rest first, everything will be discussed tomorrow."

Duan Fei gave Yan Butou a look, and Yan Butou immediately cupped his hands to Shi Yufeng and said, "My lord, we want to go and see the scene, so we can just let Old Wang take us there. Your lord has worked hard for a long time, so we should rest early." !."

"I can't sleep if the case is not solved. Since you are enthusiastic about public affairs, I will take you to have a look." Shi Yufeng yawned and led everyone to the house of Wang Shanqian, the eldest son of the Wang family in the south of the town. In the middle of the night, the women of the Wang family did not come out to avoid suspicion, and the old housekeeper Wang An came forward to greet everyone.

Came to the back house: "Wang Shanqian died in his own study, look, this is here."

I saw a red sandalwood desk in front of the window facing the back garden in the study room. The peach wood floor was clean. The whole study room was clean and bright, making it impossible to imagine that a murder case had occurred here.

It has been nearly a month and a half since the case happened, and Duan Fei can't force people to keep the scene. Now he can only observe carefully and imagine the murder scene based on other people's descriptions.

"At that time, the body of the deceased fell in front of the door, and his head rolled to the corner. Blood sprayed everywhere behind the door and on the wall! The scene was a mess, the candle holder was overturned, and the chair was broken and fell on the window sill." Mr. Shi didn't know who was relaying the words, because he hadn't come to Hai'an Town at all at that time, and he said it as if he had seen the scene.

But Duan Fei still heard some useful information, he questioned: "So the deceased had fought with the murderer? The murderer subdued the deceased and cut off his head in a short period of time... Chief arrester Do you know what weapon the murderer used to cut off the head of the deceased?"

Mr. Shi said: "The body form that Wu Zuo filled out said it should be a sharp weapon, and that level was cut off with a single blow."

The steward Wang An said with tears: "Exactly, my master died so badly..."

Duan Fei looked left and right in the study room, and saw some decorations and scrolls of books scattered neatly on the yellow pear wood bookshelf, but the paint colors in some places on the bookshelf were different, it seemed that some things that were originally placed on the bookshelf had been replaced. As if someone took it away.

Seeing where Duan Fei's gaze fell, Wang An hurriedly explained: "The eldest young master often handles some accounts in the study. After he was murdered, his wife took those things away, and the murderer didn't take anything away."

Duan Fei remained silent, he continued to observe carefully in the room, not only the floor was washed clean, but even the walls were repainted, there was no clue at all, seeing President Shi yawn more and more frequently , Duan Fei suddenly found a trace behind the door that had been missed by others.

It was a small drop of blood, maybe because it splashed into the corner, it was not washed off, Duan Fei remembered Mr. Shi said just now that the blood splattered everywhere on the wall and behind the door, this drop of blood should be The blood of the dead was gone.

Duan Fei looked back, and briefly constructed the scene of the day in his mind. According to the information he has so far, the deceased fell to the ground and died. From the second or third splatter?This is the shape and size of the particle, as well as the location... It's a bit strange, it doesn't look like it was sprayed directly, but rather like a large drop of blood that fell on the door panel and then splashed out horizontally.

Duan Fei asked: "Butler Wang, where did the blood splatter on the wall that day?"

Butler Wang compared a position on the wall that was only about waist-high, and said, "The highest sprayed here, followed by here and here, as if someone had splashed blood on the wall, and a large area was covered with blood."

Duan Fei's heart moved, and he asked: "You said that the blood stain seemed to be splashed on it, and it formed a large area, instead of spraying on it, with fine particles?"

Steward Wang was confused and didn't know how to answer. Duan Fei asked someone to bring two bowls of water. Duan Fei took a big mouthful of the first bowl, and then he held his breath and sprayed the water out.

The water droplets formed a foggy trace on the wall, Wang An shook his head and said, "No, the bloodstains didn't look like this at that time."

Duan Fei poured the rest of the bowl of water onto his right hand, and then swung his right hand upwards, and the water droplets were thrown to the wall, forming an arc-shaped trace.

Wan An nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, yes, it's a bit like this, but thicker and much thicker."

Duan Fei poured another bowl of water on a piece of cloth, and swung it wet, large water stains appeared on the wall immediately, Steward Wang shook his head repeatedly: "No, it's not like this..."

"Strange..." Duan Fei said: "These are the three most common splatter marks, Steward Wang, are you sure you remember correctly?"

The Wang family said affirmatively: "I will never remember it wrong. I will never forget what happened that day in my life. That blood...that blood...by the way, the blood on the wall is like my son used a small gun when he was naughty." *Looks like he's pissing on the wall! Yes, that's what it looks like!"

Duan Fei was speechless, he thought for a while, and said, "I've never seen Zhan, so I don't know how far the blood can spray from a person's neck, but..."

Duan Fei pulled Shi Bin to the place where Wang Shanqian's body was said to lie, and pressed him to the ground. Duan Fei said: "At that time, the deceased was lying on his stomach or kneeling like this. It seems impossible to create... the effect of a child peeing on the wall? What does the general arrester think?"

Shi Yufeng groaned, walked over to take a closer look, stroked his unshaven chin, and said hesitantly: "It seems... indeed... something is wrong, what's going on? Why has the autopsy never been mentioned? ?”

Duan Fei frowned and thought for a while, then looked at it for a while, but couldn't find any other clues, he went back behind Yan Butou, and said: "Master Chief Buddy, I have finished watching this scene for now, let's go to the second place next." Take a look at the scene where the third young master Wang Shanru was killed."

Shi Yufeng's drowsiness was driven away by the weird blood splatter, and he also felt a little impressed by Duan Fei, and led everyone to rush to the place where Mr. Wang's nephew Wang Shangui was killed, and explained at the same time: "Wang Shanru is The one who was attacked and killed on a carriage outside the town, the carriage was destroyed, the driver was knocked out, and nothing was seen, let’s take a look at the murder scene of the third deceased first.”

Wang Dequan's four sons and four nephews are all good-natured generations, and they were named Humble and Elegant and Fugui Lida respectively. This Wang Shangui is Wang Dequan's second nephew. His house in Hai'an Town is not small. His house is not far away, and he will arrive in a while.

Although it was late at night, Shi Yufeng didn't care about it, he knocked on the door and broke in. This Wang Shangui died in his bedroom. When Duan Fei saw it, the bedroom had been cleaned up. In the bathtub, it is said that Wang Shangui felt that the water was cold at that time, so Wang Shangui's wife went out and asked the servant girls to bring hot water in. When they came in, Wang Shangui was already dead. Suddenly, the lower abdomen was split open by a wound, and the intestines and stomach flowed all over the floor with the water. The scene was horrible!

The scene was even more damaged. Duan Fei couldn't find any new clues other than marveling at the murderer's brutality. The corpse, the scene was destroyed, and Duan Fei couldn't find it. He couldn't help feeling a sense of frustration rising from his heart.

"Master Shi, why didn't even a single corpse remain after more than a dozen people died?" Duan Fei asked with a sigh.

Shi Yufeng replied: "The Wang family has a great influence in Rugao County. After the autopsy, they asked for the body to be buried as soon as possible, and the Rugao county magistrate agreed. In addition, it is not good to keep blood in the bedroom, so the scene was cleaned up and washed. new……"

Duan Fei was speechless. What he was facing was a serial murderer who killed more than ten people in a row, but he couldn't even see a single corpse. This case...is really a mess!
