Concubine

Chapter 280
Yang Qiuchi looked back at Jingci: "Master, is what Yuantong said true?"

Jing Ci thought for a while, nodded, and said: "It was just dawn when they went down the mountain to beg for alms. I just got up, so it should be no more than an hour after the fifth watch."

Yang Qiuchi asked Yuantong: "Let me ask you again, when did you sneak back to the nunnery and carry Yuan Hui's body to the top of the mountain?"

"Late night before yesterday."

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "That is to say, after you killed someone and went down the mountain, until you came back to carry the corpse, it took about two days and two nights. Have you ever come back during this time?"

Yuantong said affirmatively: "No. I have been with the other two teachers and sisters, and they can testify."

Yang Qiuchi looked inquiringly at the two nuns who went down the mountain with Yuantong for alms.

An older nun said: "The three of us went down the mountain together that day. Junior sister Yuantong told us not to go too far, so we went to a nearby village for alms. We all heard that a Killers, who specialize in killing women, cut off their breasts and throw them around. We were so scared that we didn’t dare to go far.”

Another nun who was a little younger said: "Yes, although Senior Sister Yuantong knows kung fu, we were still very scared, so the three of us made alms near the foot of the mountain. However, the village at the foot of the mountain is more or less given to the temple. After donating, they are also living in poverty, and those rich people are extremely stingy, so they didn’t get much money after two days.”

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Have you been together these two days?"

The little nun said: "Yes, we go to beg for alms together during the day and live together at night. However, the second night we both slept very hard. We slept until dawn and didn't wake up halfway through. , We wondered why we slept so soundly. Therefore, we didn’t even know about Yuantong’s mountain that night.”

Yang Qiuchi looked at Yuantong: "Is it your trick?"

Yuantong lowered his head and said, "Yes, I added medicine to calm the nerves and help sleep in their meals."

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "You have premeditated, so these things are already prepared." After a pause, he asked the two nuns: "You don't know the second night, but what about the first night? You can sleep well too. So dead?"

The big nun said: "Never, only that night I slept the worst. I am old and have some insomnia. Sometimes I can't sleep all night. On the first night when the three of us went down the mountain, although I fell asleep for a while, it was counted. I'm afraid it won't take more than an hour to get up, and then I won't be able to fall asleep."

"What about Yuantong? Is Yuantong with you at night?"

The big nun said: "Together."

"Could it be that she stuffed clothes and the like into the quilt to pretend to be herself, and you didn't notice?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

"How could it be? On such a hot day, the quilt only needs to cover the stomach, and the head and most of the body are still exposed."

The little nun also proved: "Yes, I slept until midnight that night, and I had to get up at night to go to the latrine. It was dark outside in the deep winter, and I was even more afraid when I thought of that killer who specialized in killing women and... I woke up Yuantong and asked her to accompany me, so she accompanied me to the latrine."

It would take four hours to go up and down this finger peak, and from the testimonies of these two nuns, except for the second night, Yuantong was with them and had no time to go up the mountain.

After getting the proof, Yang Qiuchi suddenly changed the subject and said: "The official just said that there is still a serious matter to be done. You must want to know what the serious matter is. It is the case of Yuantong killing Yuan Hui. There is still a doubtful point that has not been clarified. , this officer will have to investigate clearly tonight before finalizing the case."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard it, a doubt that affects the finalization of the case?What could it be?They all looked up at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Before I get down to business, let me tell you a little common sense about autopsy. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I used to be an apprentice for a period of time before. I was so bad that I was almost kicked out by my master. Later I became an official by chance."

All the nuns would smile heartily when they heard Yang Qiuchi talk about their embarrassment, and they were a little more kind to the young county magistrate.

"This common sense of autopsy is that after a person dies, the blood in the body will fall and accumulate, thus forming a spot at the lower part of the corpse—the purple-red stain on the corpse. Five or six hours after death (Note: that is ten At about [-] hours), if the corpse is turned over, the plaques will fall to the new lower part of the body again. However, at this time, the plaques will not completely fade away, but Lighten up a little, and the new low places will form new corpse spots, and the color will be lighter."

The nuns listened with half understanding, and looked at Yang Qiuchi in a daze.

Yang Qiuchi went on to say: "To put it simply, if a spot is found on a corpse where it is impossible to form a spot, it proves that the corpse has been moved! If the color is lighter, it means that the moving time should be About six hours after death."

The nuns still looked at Yang Qiuchi in a daze, not understanding what she was trying to prove.

Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly: "Now we're going to get to the point—I found two corresponding corpse spots with relatively light colors on the body of the deceased Yuan Hui!"

He stretched out his left hand, made a gesture, and said, "The two corpse spots I found on the inside and outside of Yuan Hui's left arm were relatively light in color, which proves that about five or six hours after Yuan Hui was killed, her arm It has been moved."

Now all the nuns came to their senses and began to discuss in low voices.

Yang Qiuchi waited for them to be quiet before continuing, "I've checked just now that Yuantong never went up the mountain between the murder and the disguise scene two days later. Yuan Miao is the only one in the nunnery who knows that Yuan Hui is dead. But Yuan Miao is so timid and quiet, she won't go to Yuan Hui's room alone to touch the corpse."

"Besides, the doors and windows that were bolted from the inside also proved that she had never been there. She didn't know that Yuan Hui's window could actually be opened from the outside by lifting it up. When she was with Yuan Hui, she intentionally loosened it in order to sneak in. She couldn't tell Yuan Miao about this kind of thing, and she couldn't tell others, so Yuan Miao couldn't get in, and neither could the rest of you. The locked room."

"Since no one has ever entered, it means that no one has moved the corpse for two days and two nights after Yuan Hui's death—that is, 24 hours. That's strange. Could it be that the corpse was tired from lying down? Did you turn your arms over?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt chills on their backs and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Of course not!" Yang Qiuchi said in a deep voice, "Yuan Tong sneaked into Yuan Hui's room to kill people that night, saying that after he strangled Yuan Hui, he was going to move the body out for disposal, but when he lifted the quilt, Yuan Hui's hand slipped , startled her, thought it was a dead body, and after she found out it was not, she put her hand back again, because she heard someone walking outside, and it was inconvenient to carry the corpse out, so she left without moving. The two spots on the arm of Yuan Hui's corpse have already told us that the arm was moved, and it was at this time that it was moved."

At this point, Yang Qiuchi turned his head and asked Yuantong: "Think about it carefully. When you pinched Yuanhui, did Yuanhui react? For example, kicking legs and feet, moving hands, and shaking the head?"

Yuantong lowered his head and thought for a while, frowned and said strangely: "Maybe she slept too hard, and the room is too dark at night so I can't see clearly." Speaking of this, he frowned again and shook his head, "Now Thinking about it, something was wrong, when I pinched her, I felt that she didn't move or resist, and her neck was cold..."

"That's right!" Yang Qiuchi slapped the table and said, "You know, only the body of the dead will have corpse spots! Six hours after a person died, someone moved the arm of the corpse, and then the two places on the arm will form corpse spots , since no one has moved the body within two days after Yuan Hui's death, and there are two spots on the arms of the body, there is only one possibility," Yang Qiuchi stopped here, and looked around at the crowd, Then he said slowly, "Six hours before Yuan Tong pinched Yuan Hui and moved Yuan Hui's arm, Yuan Hui was already dead! Yuan Tong pinched a corpse!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

Yuantong was even more surprised, and could hardly believe his ears.

Yang Qiuchi continued to explain: "Therefore, the truth should be like this: Yuanhui had dinner with everyone that evening, and Yuanjue proved that she was in a good mood at that time. The murderer strangled her—she was strangled, there is no doubt about it—the murderer fled the room. At five o'clock that night, Yuan Tong sneaked into the room and pinched Yuan Hui. At this time, Yuan Hui had been dead for five or six hours. When Yuan Tong repositioned Yuan Hui's left arm, he flipped the position of the arm, causing the rigor to shift, and thus formed two corpse spots on the corresponding parts!"

Yang Qiuchi's words were like a boulder thrown into a pool of water, and all the nuns immediately boiled over.

Yuan Tong and Yuan Miao's hands were tightly held together, and their eyes sparkled with excitement. Of course they knew that if what Yang Qiuchi said was true, Yuan Hui was already dead when Yuan Tong killed Yuan Hui. The crime is much less serious, at least not sentenced to death!

Song Yuner was also surprised by this dramatic scene, and asked, "Brother, have you found out who the real murderer is?"

"I found out," Yang Qiuchi nodded, looked around the crowd, and said coldly, "The murderer is among us!"
