Song Yi

Chapter 361
Du Wenhao checked the doors and windows carefully again, and found that there were no signs of prying damage on the doors and windows.

This is strange, Du Wenhao rubbed his chin and mused, there are three doors in this house from the courtyard door to the upstairs, if robbers enter the house to commit murder, rob money, it is impossible to arrive without destroying even a single door and window Murder on the second floor.The ancients paid great attention to the safety of the house, and it was unlikely that strangers would break into the yard and commit crimes in the bedroom on the second floor.

That is to say, it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime!

He checked the other living room in the middle, and found nothing unusual. The other side was the study room, but there were no books. There was an incense table in the middle, and Amitabha Buddha was enshrined in the altar. There were three burnt incense sticks in the incense burner.The melons and fruits placed for worship have rotted.But no fish was found.

At this time, County Captain Sun came up with scissors, and Du Wenhao said: "I'll do the autopsy, you can find a piece of paper to record the autopsy results for me, and the job will come later, just fill in the cadaver form."

When he cut the mouth open with scissors, he found that most of the oral tissue had been liquefied, and no scratches could be seen.However, not for nothing, he found that the upper two front teeth in his mouth were visibly loose!

This kind of loosening is not the kind after the liquefaction of muscle tissue, it is obviously caused by external force collision.This proves that when the murderer stuffed the silk scarf into the mouth of the deceased, he stabbed it in with his fingers or a stick, causing the front teeth to be knocked loose.

Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a few red circular patterns on the surface of the silk, and his heart suddenly moved. Could it be fingerprints?If the teeth in the mouth are loose, there will be bleeding in the mouth. If the murderer presses the silk with his fingers, bloody fingerprints will be left on the silk!

His heart beat wildly. In ancient times, there was no concept of fingerprint criminal investigation, and the murderer did not have anti-reconnaissance experience of wearing gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. It is relatively easy to extract fingerprints.Fingerprints are one of the most favorable evidence to prove a crime. Although this kind of evidence cannot be used in court as evidence to prove a crime, in ancient times it was legal to extort a confession by torture. The confession required by ancient evidence can solve the case without wronging the good people.

Du Wenhao wiped the tissue fluid around the silk with tissue paper to ensure that the silk scarf would not be polluted, and then slowly pulled out the silk.

It was a blood fingerprint, the lines were relatively clean and relatively complete, so it should be used for comparison.

At this time, Huang Zhizhou finally arrived with Wu Zuo.

I heard that there was a murder case, and Huang Zhizhou's head is getting bigger. The murder case is not a joke. If it cannot be solved in time, it will definitely affect the political performance, especially if the criminal officer is here. This is coming to an end.I was so anxious that my head was sweating.

When they arrived, Du Wenhao had already inspected the scene, which made Huang Zhizhou even more panicked.Autopsy is such a humble thing, which is done by the assistant. Unexpectedly, the dignified criminal officer will personally perform the autopsy. From Huang Zhizhou's point of view, it seems to be a mockery of his own ineffectiveness, and the sweat on the back of his spine is coming out.Bow again and again to make amends.

Du Wenhao didn't bother to talk to him or explain. After asking Wu Zuo to fill in the corpse form, he ordered Sun Xianwei to call Aunt Tan's neighbor and Lizheng from this street to identify the corpse.

These neighbors held their noses and dared not go forward, they were far apart.The corpse was beyond recognition, so there was no need to take a closer look. Du Wenhao took the cut dress to the corridor outside for them to identify.All the neighbors are almost unanimously sure that this is the dress that Aunt Tan often wears.The height of the restored body was measured, and it was similar to the height of Aunt Tan that the neighbors said.It was preliminarily determined that the female corpse was Aunt Tan.

Outside the door, Mrs. Han heard that a corpse was found inside, and wept again. After confirming that it was a female corpse, and it was Aunt Tan, the owner of the house, she burst into tears and laughed for her husband.However, her husband's whereabouts were still unknown, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.

When Du Wenhao went out to the yard, Catcher Hong reported that he had sent people to search the entire house, and found nothing suspicious. Except for the looting of the bedroom in the main house, there were no traces of looting in the rest of the residence.This made Du Wenhao even more puzzled.

He called Lizheng and his neighbors to the yard, and after questioning, he learned that Aunt Tan had lost her husband in her early years, had no children, and had no other relatives in Hengzhou, and lived by renting out part of the house to collect rent.I seldom interact with people on weekdays.

However, when asked who are the people who rented Aunt Tan recently, the neighbors couldn’t tell, because the tenants who rent here often change, there are men, women, children, and most of them are temporary clients. No one remembers either.In particular, Aunt Tan is a very bad person, vitriolic and greedy for petty gains. She never returns things borrowed from her neighbors. In addition, she believes in Buddhism and eats vegetarian food very devoutly. In the future, I will go to hell after death, so the relationship with my neighbors is very tense.Everyone is unwilling to visit her, and they are unwilling to take care of her affairs.So they didn't pay attention to who the tenants of her house were.

Du Wenhao suspected that the case was committed by an acquaintance, most likely the tenants, but the neighbors couldn't tell which tenants there were, so he asked the police to search the ledger carefully to see if there was a book that registered the tenant's information.

After some searching, they found nothing. After asking the neighbors, they found out that Aunt Tan could not read at all.But she has a very good memory. She can't remember to pay back what she owes others. Even if it's only a penny, she remembers clearly what others owe her, and she chases and asks for it all day long.Therefore, the tenant's situation can be remembered clearly without recording at all.

Unwilling to give up, Du Wenhao decided to search again in person to see if there was any clue of the tenant.

He searched from the east room to the west room, but there were no useful clues left. The rooms were very tidy, as if no one was staying.

When he searched the kitchen, he stopped.

He found that there were many flies buzzing and flying in an open patio behind the kitchen!
He told Butou Hong and others who followed him not to move around, and stood quietly to observe, and found that these flies mainly gathered near the gutter, and a small amount of them were lying on the wall!
After observing clearly, Du Wenhao first came to the ditch and searched carefully. The ditch was very clean and he couldn't find anything suspicious.However, he noticed that most of the flies were concentrated in the drain screen.

After blasting away the flies, he took out the whole filter and slowly cleaned the garbage on it.Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Among the garbage, he found a lot of white powder with reddish traces!

He picked out all the scraps and observed them carefully, and found that they looked like bone scraps!

He put the crumbs on the ground and stepped back.

The flies buzzing in the air landed on the dust one after another!From this, it can be determined that the light red traces attached to it are probably blood!
His gaze fell on the place where the flies gathered on the wall. After blasting away the flies, he found that there were dots of black liquid on it, which was very similar to the liquefied tissue of the corpse upstairs.

Could it be that these dots on the wall are human blood or muscle scraps?

He asked Hong Baotou to borrow a hoe outside, and dug up the sewer where he found the suspected bones just now.

hum!
A swarm of flies flew out of the dry sewer.Digging all the way, in the sewer, especially at the bend and turn, several bone fragments the size of chopstick heads were found in succession!

He put the bone fragments he collected in the open space, and the flies landed on them again, making sure that they were also stained with blood.

He observed carefully one by one, and found that some of these fragments were neat in section, while others were very rough.After a moment of pondering, it will be clear.Called Huang Zhizhou, Sun Xianwei and Hong Butou, but showed them the bone fragments in their hands: "These fragments are very similar to the bone fragments left after chopping or sawing. According to the neighbor's testimony, Tan My aunt is very devout and believes in Buddhism, and there is also a Buddhist hall upstairs, so it is impossible for her to have animal bones in her house. Therefore, I suspect that these are human bone fragments!"

The three of them were all stunned. Detective Hong often deals with criminal cases and is relatively knowledgeable in this area. He also knew the situation of Du Wenhao's autopsy just now, and asked, "My lord, I really hope that Aunt Tan upstairs has no trauma."

"Exactly, so the human bone fragments that appear here should not belong to Aunt Tan, but to another person. It cannot be ruled out that it belongs to the missing shopkeeper Han." Du Wenhao walked to the wall and pointed to the black and gray streaks on the wall. Traces, "These traces are very similar to old bloodstains. Judging from the appearance, they also conform to the characteristics of splash marks formed by chopping with knives and axes. Therefore, the official suspects that the murderer dismembered the corpse here. Then smuggled the corpse out and discarded it or Bury."

Huang Zhizhou's scalp felt numb when he heard it, and he smiled reluctantly: "This..., this murderer is so vicious!"

"That's right," Du Wenhao said, "These are just conjectures at the moment. Master Zhizhou is right. The bones must be found to determine whether anyone was killed and who the victim was. The most urgent thing is to find these broken corpses! ——Lieutenant Sun County, you lead a group of arresters to search the riverside, lakeside and any place where the bones may be abandoned or buried, looking for signs of abnormal soil turning in hidden places, etc., and strive to find the body parts. Hong Headhunter, you lead a group of policemen to interrogate and investigate the tenants who rent Aunt Tan's house. Let's act!"

The two bowed and clasped fists to accept the order, turned around and left in a hurry.

Huang Zhizhou laughed and said: "Humble job..., what do you do for a humble job?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "I'm afraid the magistrate is not proficient in this way, so you sit in the yamen, wait for the news, and report the murder case in time."

"Yes, yes." Huang Zhizhou wiped off his cold sweat, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have neglected to take precautions in such a lowly position. It is really negligence of duty to have such a big case of killing and mutilating corpses..."

Du Wenhao said: "Master Zhizhou, there is no need to feel guilty. Bandits who kill people and rob money have existed since ancient times. They cannot be avoided by prevention. Let's try our best to solve this case and bring the murderer to justice."

Huang Zhizhou was afraid that Du Wenhao would put on an official airs and go online, and he was really grateful to hear him say such a fair word: "Thank you, sir!"

Du Wenhao said: "Since such a big case has happened, I have already intervened, so I can't just leave. I'm afraid I will have to stay for a while. So let's skip the dinner at night, and wait until the case is solved." I'll talk about it later."

"Yes, yes," Huang Zhizhou thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Then your lord and his party will stay at the Hengzhou Inn, okay?"

When Du Wenhao and the others first came to Hengzhou for medical training, they stayed at the Hengzhou Inn, and nodded immediately: "Well, let's go back and rest first, and let me know if there is any news!"

Huang Zhizhou hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Du Wenhao and his entourage came to the Hengzhou Inn. The innkeeper was already very familiar with Du Wenhao. Seeing the return of the criminal officer, he hurriedly arranged the best room.

They didn't pay attention, when the two people squatting across the road saw Du Wenhao and the others, they immediately showed joy, muttered a few words, and rushed away one by one.The other stayed behind and continued to stare nervously at the inn door.

After a while, a large group of people armed with weapons swarmed in, all the thugs and tortoises from Meier Wanchunyuan, and surrounded the Hengshan Inn.

The first person was Meier.She saw her willow eyebrows stand upright, and she yelled sharply: "Go in! Get me out of that local man!"

Still the pig-headed maidservant took the lead and led the people to rush in.

When the crowd was yelling, Du Wenhao opened the window to see clearly, and sneered at Lin Qingdai and Li Pu and other guards: "Don't hurt them, let's have some fun, and wait for Zhizhou Huang to come!"

Immediately, Li Pu and others clashed with Dingling, the bodyguard of Wanchunyuan who rushed up.

The shopkeeper didn't know what happened, so he shouted to dissuade in horror, neither side listened.

The pig-headed maid triumphantly pointed at Du Wenhao upstairs and shouted: "You are dead! Master Zhizhou said, we caught you and handed them over to our girl. Now let's see how you die!"

At this moment, Huang Zhizhou, who received the notification from Meier, arrived in a sedan chair with his entourage. He heard that the people sent by Meier to guard him found the local man who bullied her in the Hengzhou Inn, and he faintly felt something was wrong. .

With Zaoli, Minzhuang and the rest of the police, he hurried to the gate of the inn in a sedan chair, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw in the yard, the thugs from Wanchunyuan and the entourage of the criminal officer were fighting, and Du Wenhao stood by the window facing the street in the upper room on the second floor, looking at him coldly with his arms crossed.

Those Zaoli and the police officers had already recognized that the person on the second floor was the criminal officer, and knowing that Meier had caused trouble this time, they quickly inserted all the knives back, shrunk their necks and hid behind.

Huang Zhizhou was so frightened that he staggered out of the sedan chair, waving his hands, but his throat was dry from anxiety and tension, and he couldn't speak a word.

Mei'er saw Huang Zhizhou coming, she didn't notice anything unusual, she went up to greet him happily and said, "Master, we found that local man, look, he's standing there in the upper room on the second floor, isn't he arrogant like that? Their people resisted arrest and wounded many of my people. My lord, hurry up and call the arresters to arrest people!"

Huang Zhizhou's fingers trembled, his gray beard trembled, and he pointed at Mei'er: "You! You...!"

"Master, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and arrest someone!"

"Me! I'll catch your grandson!" Huang Zhizhou slapped Mei'er hard with a round slap. Two teeth have fallen out, and there is blood all over the mouth.

"Stop it all! Stop it!" Huang Zhizhou yelled hysterically, and those slaves, policemen, and minzhuang rushed forward and shouted at the thugs in Wanchunyuan: "Master Zhizhou has Order, stop! Stop the fuck!"

Everyone in the field heard it now, and hurriedly stopped and backed away.

Li Pu and the others did not pursue, but retreated with a sneer.

Huang Zhizhou staggered forward, knelt down on the ground with a groan, and kowtowed like garlic: "Master Ti Xing, humble job..., low job..." He said two low jobs in succession, his throat was so dry that he was about to catch fire, and then he continued. not go down.
