"No. 77, Shenyang Street?" I asked, "What kind of store is it?"

Seeing that I didn't know the specific situation, Shen Ling immediately explained briefly and said: "Flower shop, there were three murder cases in a row today. We just received another reporting call. This is the fourth case in Shenyang Street, so You can come directly here and we will meet you on Shenyang Street."

"Okay, I understand." This time I was driving the car. In He Xiaofei's words, after getting his driver's license, it would be impossible not to drive, so he volunteered to be my coach for free.

After arriving at No. 77 Shenyang Street, He Xiaofei and I immediately saw the warning cordon that had been drawn up around us. However, because the outside was crowded with people who came to watch, we couldn't squeeze in. We had no choice but to call Peng Xin. After making a phone call, we were brought into the scene.

"Where is the body?" As soon as I entered the door, I saw the technician Liu taking pictures, so I asked immediately.

Technical Liu looked back and saw that it was me, and said with a smile: "It's in the bedroom on the second floor. Group Shen is also there, waiting for you two." He Xiaofei and I didn't bother to say hello to our colleagues on the scene, and immediately ran to the second floor. building.

"Ling'er, we're here." As soon as I entered the door, I said and began to carefully inspect the scene.

After seeing me arriving, Shen Ling took me to the body. After taking the white cloth, he said: "The deceased was hit on the back of the head with a sharp weapon. He was raped before death. The ingredients of the drug left by the murderer have been given to Peng Xin." Taken it for testing."

I looked at the body and immediately said: "The time of death cannot exceed 8 hours. It is now 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which means the time of death is probably after 7 o'clock. Didn't anyone at the scene hear the cry of the deceased?"

"According to the employee in the store, she did not hear any shouting from upstairs at that time. It was not until the afternoon when the employee was not busy that she went upstairs to ask the boss to come down for dinner and found that the deceased was no longer breathing," Shen Ling explained. road.

At this time, He Xiaofei came over quietly and said: "No, what time is it in the afternoon when it is not busy? If it is noon, then why did you report the crime after 2 o'clock? If it is after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, then the problem will be even bigger."

"We have also thought about this, but according to the clerk herself, business is usually busy, and she and the proprietress usually only eat at 2 p.m." Shen Ling explained.

I nodded and said, "That's normal. I often went to Uncle Zhao's house when I was a kid. They had dinner late at noon. Generally speaking, there was so much business that they didn't even bother to eat. Just check the surveillance system later."

"Yeah." Shen Ling agreed, "I'll just ask Lao Wang to take a look."

After Shen Ling finished speaking, I continued to examine the body of the deceased and said, "The deceased may be pregnant. Xiaofei, go and ask the clerk what takeout he ordered for lunch."

"Okay." He Xiaofei agreed.

"Pregnant?" On the other side, Shen Ling asked in shock.

"Yes." I pointed at the face of the deceased and said, "The deceased's face turned pale. This was not caused by blood loss, but a normal symptom of pregnancy." Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of a way, but it was a bit inconvenient to start.

Seeing that I was a little hesitant, Shen Ling said, "What's wrong? Keep talking."

I smiled and said, "I'm a man, so it's a bit inconvenient."

"Then let me do it." Shen Ling glanced at me and continued: "What should I do?"

"Press the lower part of the deceased's vagina with your hand to see if there is any hard lump. Also, check the deceased's urethral opening to see if there is a small amount of urine remaining." I turned around and turned my back to Shen Ling. said.

"Well, you are right." Shen Ling looked at it, stood up and said to me, "Your mental quality is not up to par."

I smiled and responded: "Forget it, that's just me. I'm a bit pedantic, haha."

At this time, He Xiaofei also brought the clerk to the second floor. Shen Ling and I walked over and asked, "What takeaway did you have for lunch?"

The clerk thought for a moment and said: "Our boss usually doesn't eat much for lunch. I usually order the dishes myself. Today I ordered spicy and sour potato shreds, fried lettuce and shrimp, and a walnut and red date porridge."

"Is there a special message for takeout?" In fact, after hearing the order from the clerk, I was basically certain that the deceased was pregnant.

"Yes, yes. The boss specifically told me yesterday that when I order spicy and sour potato shreds, I should put more vinegar and less chili pepper." The clerk replied.

"Is your boss pregnant?" Shen Ling asked.

The clerk hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, but the boss won't let us publicize it because she's not married yet."

"Okay, thank you. Xiaofei, please take her back to the bureau to make a record first." Now that it is confirmed that the deceased is pregnant, I will leave the rest to Lao Wang and others for questioning. I turned around and went back to check on the body of the deceased.

"Anything else found?" Shen Ling asked.

"Not yet. I haven't brought any tools with me, and I can't test for fingerprints or impressions. Let's take the body back first." I looked at it carefully and felt that I couldn't see anything for the time being, so I stood up and said.

"Okay." Shen Ling nodded in agreement.

"By the way, where are the other three corpses?" I asked.

"I've brought them all back to the bureau. Let's go back and take a look." Shen Ling replied.

I didn't go back immediately, but looked carefully in the boss's bedroom. In fact, sometimes, understanding a victim's living habits or hobbies is of vital help in solving the case.

I picked up the only dusty book on the bookshelf and said to Shen Ling: "This boss likes calligraphy and painting by celebrities?"

Shen Ling came over and said, "Su Huang Mi Cai Appreciation? It's really rare that people read this kind of book nowadays."

I suddenly realized something and immediately said to Shen Ling: "Let's go and see if there are calluses on the fingers of the deceased?"

After Shen Ling heard what I said, she immediately came over and turned over to check, and then said: "Yes, there is indeed a callus on the deceased's ring finger. Do you mean that the deceased was a calligraphy enthusiast?"

"That's right." I squatted down and said to Shen Ling: "Look at the way we modern people hold pens, we often use the middle finger as the support point of the pen. In ancient times, when writing, because the brush was too long, the ring finger was used as the support point. The supporting point of the writing brush. The calluses on the ring finger of the deceased were very thick, but her hands were still very delicate as a whole, so there is no doubt that she was a calligraphy enthusiast."

After that, I continued: "From these perspectives, including pregnancy, calligraphy, and being single, let's go back and look at the other four corpses. If there are similarities, I guess this case may not be difficult to solve."
