Chapter 43

: The remaining sins at the fingertips (please read more)

He still has evidence? How is that possible?

Facing Qi Ping's eyes, this fierce barbarian businessman's heart suddenly jumped for no apparent reason.

Just like the scene reappearing, not long ago, when everyone was helpless, Qi Ping stood up and found evidence from the corpse.

But that can only help the siblings get rid of the "false accusation" charge, but it is far from being able to convict them.

However, at this time, no one thought that this foreigner was talking nonsense, and the people started rioting, hoping that Qi Ping could perform another miracle.

"If you have evidence, just show it, don't lie here!" Barbarian Shang said bravely.

He is very confident. Is he confident in his own methods? Are he sure there are no big omissions?

Well, he can do business between two places and knows how to disguise scenes. Although he looks rough, he is definitely not an idiot... Qi Ping thought about it in his heart, but smiled:

"What's the rush? Wait a moment and I'll find it for you."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the two siblings:

"I'm going to ask you something, so be sure to answer it carefully."

The woman was in despair and choked with sobs. Her brother seemed to be grasping at straws and nodded:

"Sir, please ask."

"When the incident happened, did anyone hear the noise or witness the whereabouts of the boss or the barbarian merchant?"

The young man shook his head: "The warehouse is in the backyard. It is very remote. During the day, the shop is busy. Even if there are sounds, they are covered up. As for the whereabouts... I have asked about it, but no one has witnessed it."

Qi Ping asked: "Why did the deceased go there? When was the last time you saw him, and when was the body found?"

The young man said: "Brother-in-law checks the warehouse every day. To prevent the clerk from stealing, he does it himself. Today is no exception. As for the time, the last time we met was at noon..."

The two of them asked and answered questions. After a few back and forth, they both looked at each other and said in deep thought:

"Are there any footprints left inside the warehouse? Or other things left behind."

The young man said bitterly: "The warehouse is paved with bricks and stones, and it is cleaned diligently, and there is no dust... What's more, after the incident, a large number of workers came in..."

It's over, the traces on the scene were destroyed to pieces.

Qi Ping sighed, but even if the scene is preserved, it doesn't mean much.

This is ancient times, but there are no modern instruments to assist. Otherwise, no matter what happened to the masonry floor, fingerprints can still be extracted, hair and skin flakes can be found, DNA can be tested, and the case can be solved in minutes.

If nothing else works, how many cameras should be installed near the warehouse...

But there is nothing here. This is an era that still believes in "recognition of relatives by shedding blood". Experts in various disciplines in later generations were thrown here and without the aid of instruments, they were immediately blinded.

Qi Ping could not repeat Heyan Sunfu's technique and completed the reasoning with the help of footprints... After thinking briefly, he looked at Barbarian Shang:

"Where were you during the incident?"

At this time, the other party seemed to see that Qi Ping was in trouble, calmed down again, and even had a smile on his face:

"I'm resting in the room, there is a witness."

Next to him, several of his companions nodded.

Close relatives avoid suspicion, and proof is ineffective... Qi Ping really wanted to say this, but there is no point in talking about it. The other party has a back-up, and it is really difficult to deal with it without tangible evidence.

Seeing him silent and lost in thought.

The barbarian merchants became more and more proud, several officials sighed, and the enthusiastic atmosphere among the onlookers also faded. Although they did not know how to solve the case, they could also see that the young man had encountered difficulties.

The so-called "evidence" previously was bluffing.

Outside, Qi Shu and Fan Er, squatting on the carriage and looking in, were a little worried and didn't know how Qi Ping could break the situation.

"He wants to solve the case on the spot, but it's not easy?" The old man from before shook his head and spoke negatively.

"Yeah, if you ask me, forget it."

"It's such a big deal, how can we just forget about it?" someone retorted.

"What else?"

In the crowd, the handsome young man with red lips, white teeth, and clear eyes pursed his lips, thinking that it really wasn't possible. Then, he laughed at himself, thinking that this is normal.

To be able to make that kind of reasoning just now is extraordinary.

Don't ask for too much.

In front of the inn, the light in the eyes of the two siblings was extinguished little by little, and they stood there as if resigned to their fate, with no hope left.

"Hey, what else do you have to say? If not, don't waste your time, the evidence won't come out." Barbarian Shang laughed.

Several companions also made sarcastic remarks.

Hearing the sound, Qi Ping seemed to be awakened, raised his head, and said somewhat funny:

"You wouldn't think that I really have no clues."

The barbarian merchant was stunned.

Everyone was also startled.

Do you have any clues? I'm already at my wits' end.

The next moment, Qi Ping's helpless voice was heard:

"I just asked those questions just to get more information and reconstruct the case more comprehensively, but it does not mean that I am pointing to those questions to get clues."

After a pause, he met the eyes and said:

"As for the evidence, as I said before, the evidence is on the body."

He repeated this sentence a second time.

This time, all parties in the scene were confused. Here we go again? On the body? So, the "evidence" you mentioned before is not just those, but...there is something else?

Someone in the crowd asked: "What is it?"

Qi Ping smiled, still looking calm and composed:

"Do you still remember that I just concluded that the deceased was first strangled and then faked his own hanging, and I described the characteristics of the neck injuries?"

Everyone nodded.

Qi Ping's smile widened: "But one thing I didn't mention at the time was the hands."

hand?

Several people at the scene were confused and looked at the corpse's hands.

All I saw was that the corpse had its hands open, nothing special about it.

Just as he was about to ask, Qi Ping already spoke: "You may be wondering, what's so special about this hand? Oh, it's because you are too far away."

As he spoke, he squatted down, pulled the corpse's hands away, and showed his fingers in the sun.

"Look, are there any blood stains on the nails?"

At this moment, the sun was just shining in front of the door, and people took a closer look. Sure enough, it was not obvious, there was not much blood, and most people would not grab their hands to look at it.

So, they didn't find out until now.

"When I mentioned the characteristics of self-hanging, I made a special observation and discovered this detail. So the question is, where did these tiny blood stains come from?" Qi Ping asked.

The leading officer blurted out: "If someone strangles you from the back of your neck, you probably came to scratch the murderer."

"That's right!" Qi Ping glanced at him approvingly, stood up and said:

"That's right. The murderer attacked the deceased from behind and tightened his neck with something. When the deceased was suddenly attacked, his instinct would be to try to pull away the rope or the perpetrator's hands behind his neck.

When people are about to die, people often have a strong survival instinct. Therefore, even though the murderer was strong, he was careless and his arm was scratched by the deceased. This can be explained. "

“And once you establish that, the rest is easy.

The deceased died not long ago. The murderer's wounds were impossible to heal and could only be covered up with sleeves.

Therefore, we only need to order the suspect to unbutton his coat and show his upper body, especially his hands and forearms. If there are bloody scratches, he must be the murderer!"

After finishing his words, Qi Ping turned around suddenly, stared at Man Shang whose expression changed greatly, and said word by word:

"Do you dare to let others look at you?"

The chess fell, general.

The barbarian merchant's expression changed greatly, and he instinctively retracted his hands, but countless eyes had already seen his tightly covered hand guards.

Why should we look at this reaction again?

The leader, the official Cha, was shocked and shouted: "Take it!"

When the inspector came forward, several barbarian merchants resisted.

At this time, the servant of the Xu Mansion said sharply: "Let's see who dares!"

The patrolmen paused, with angry faces on their faces. Unexpectedly, now that the evidence was irrefutable, this servant of the Xu Mansion would still protect him.

At this moment, a person stepped out from the crowd and said coldly: "I dare!"

It was actually the young man with red lips and white teeth and a handsome face.

"You..." Xu Mansion's servant was very angry. He didn't understand how someone could intervene in such a trivial matter one after another, and he was about to curse.

Then he saw the young man take out a token from his waist and said in a deep voice:

"The Fu Division of Daliang Town is handling the case, but Xu Mansion dares to obstruct it?"

quiet.
