The yamen servant quickly turned Zhang Qin's body upside down.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan saw the back of Zhang Qin's head, which was bloody.
The blood dyed the hair red and solidified it together.
The wound on the back of the head is not small. Judging from the wound, it should be fatal.
Except for this wound, there were no obvious wounds elsewhere. There were even no tears in the clothes, and no obvious sword scars were seen.
Of course, this is just Qin Wenyuan's simple inspection. As for more specific details, he will have to wait until Wu Zuo arrives.
Qin Wenyuan stood up and took a look at his surroundings.
The dry well stands clearly in front, with a wall in front and some bamboos on both sides. If you stand in the distance, it is not easy to see it because of the bamboos.
Therefore, this is indeed a good place to commit suicide.
He said: "Whoever discovered the body first, I have a few questions to ask."
Soon, a tall and thin government servant came over.
He bowed to Qin Wenyuan: "Master Qin, it was the villain who first discovered Master Zhang's body."
Qin Wenyuan looked at the yamen servant and asked, "When you came here, did you find anyone else here?"
The officer shook his head and said, "I haven't found anyone else."
"The villain is responsible for searching this area. At first, the villain was wondering if Mr. Zhang might be in the bamboo forest. We didn't notice it, so the villain first came to the bamboo forest to check, but he didn't find Mr. Zhang."
"The villain felt that Master Zhang was not here at that time, so he wanted to leave."
"When leaving, the villain passed by this dry well. At first, the villain did not expect Master Zhang to be in the dry well. The villain simply glanced into the dry well subconsciously."
"Then, the villain discovered Master Zhang's body."
Qin Wenyuan looked at Du Chuke.
Du Chuke nodded and said: "There were three people in charge of this area at that time. Although the other two did not come here personally, they also saw his entire operation."
This was Du Chuke's way of making sure that the Yamen servant was not lying.
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
He said: "Then when you found the body, did you notice anything unusual around the dry well?"
"Or have you ever found anything bloody?"
The yamen officer thought for a while and said, "I didn't find it."
Qin Wenyuan's eyes were always on the yamen servant. Although the yamen servant was a little afraid of him, his eyes did not dodge. It seemed that he was not lying.
He nodded: "Okay, I understand."
At this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.
Then, Qin Wenyuan saw some people wearing Dali Temple clothes walking over.
The leader is none other than the thief Wang Xiaohua.
It seems that Chu Suiliang sent Wang Xiaohua to bring people here.
"Master Qin."
Wang Xiaohua and others bowed to Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said directly: "We will do the autopsy at noon."
Wu Zuo didn't dare to delay and walked over quickly.
During the afternoon autopsy, Qin Wenyuan asked Wang Xiaohua: "Is everything okay in the Yamen?"
Wang Xiaohua nodded: "Don't worry, sir, everything is fine. With Master Chu here, everything is in order."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
After he came out from noon to drink with Tianji, he met Han Qian's son. Just after he solved the problem, he came to the Ministry of Works and encountered a fire and a murderer again.
Therefore, this prevented him from ever having the chance to return to the Dali Temple Yamen.
Wang Xiaohua looked at the corpse of the deceased and asked in a low voice: "Sir, is this the purpose of coming to the Ministry of Works?"
It seems that Ji She has told Wang Xiaohua about the matter.
When Wang Xiaohua came over, it must have been because of Ji She's intention to let Wang Xiaohua take care of her, so as not to have a satisfactory person by her side.
Qin Wenyuan nodded: "It was him, but he died before I could see him."
Wang Xiaohua asked: "Is Beidou going to silence you?"
Qin Wenyuan shook his head: "I think it is not the case, but the specific details will not be clear until after investigation."
Wang Xiaohua nodded hurriedly.
…
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Qin Wenyuan shook his head: "Let's take a look at the autopsy results first."
Wang Xiaohua said no more and followed Qin Wenyuan step by step.
Not long after, Wu Zuo got up.
Du Chuke hurriedly asked: "How is it?"
Everyone else also looked at Wu Zuo.
Wu Zuo then looked at Qin Wenyuan, and when he saw Qin Wenyuan nodded, he spoke.
"The deceased did not die for a long time, it should be within half an hour."
"There were some scratches and collision wounds on the body of the deceased, but these wounds were consistent with falling into a well, so they were not caused by the murderer."
"The deceased's real fatal injury was the wound on the back of his head."
"The back of his head should have been hit by a sharp object, and it was suddenly hit by someone from behind, causing him to die on the spot."
Qin Wenyuan nodded, which was similar to his guess.
but……
The time of death was within half an hour.
He looked at Du Chuke, who understood what Qin Wenyuan meant and said: "It started after the fire broke out, but before it was completely put out, that is, two quarters of an hour before Mr. Qin arrived, until now."
After the fire, until now...
This time period...
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
Two situations are included.
One is the chaotic state after the fire.
The other one is...he's already here!
Because of the chaos caused by the fire, someone took the opportunity to kill Zhang Qin.
Or did he kill Zhang Qin because he came?
These two situations represent two completely different results.
If it can be said that Zhang Qin was killed because the murderer wanted to take advantage of the fire and chaos, then it means that the murderer probably had an impromptu intention to do this.
And he suddenly made up his mind to seize the opportunity of chaos to get rid of Zhang Qin, which means that he and Zhang Qin probably had some temporary conflicts, or they had deep grudges, and Zhang Qin had another conflict with him today.
Some conflicts arose, which completely aroused the murderous intention in my heart.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos in the yamen, he got excited and started killing people!
And if it's another situation.
It was because of his arrival that Zhang Qin was killed.
It is very likely that these pieces of information will overturn Qin Wenyuan's previous inferences.
Qin Wenyuan had previously deduced that Zhang Qin's murder had probably nothing to do with the Beidou Society.
But if Zhang Qin was silenced because of his arrival, then it was probably related to the Beidou Society.
After all, Beidou Club knows his own abilities best.
Zhang Qin had just set the fire, and before he could escape, he came by himself.
This is likely to lead to Zhang Qin's exposure.
Therefore, in order to prevent Zhang Qin from being caught and asked about the secrets of the Beidou Society, other people hidden by the Beidou Society simply killed people and silenced them.
This completely cut off Zhang Qin's clue.
If it is really because of yourself, then this is very possible.
Therefore, the next focus of the investigation is to determine whether Zhang Qin's murder was related to him.
If the time of Zhang Qin's death can be narrowed down again and it is determined whether Zhang Qin died before he came or after he came, then this difficulty may be solved.
Thinking of this, Qin Wenyuan looked like Du Chuke and said: "Mr. Du, please ask the people at the Ministry of Works. Ask them who has seen Zhang Qin in the past half hour, and then make sure that they finally
The time to meet Zhang Qin."
"I want to see if I can shorten Zhang Qin's death range."
When Du Chuke heard this, he naturally did not hesitate.
Now, he couldn't wait to hope that Qin Wenyuan would solve the problem quickly.
Otherwise, if there is a fire in the Yamen and the minister is killed, once I go to see His Majesty, I will definitely be scolded bloody.
But if you go there with the result of a broken eucalyptus, although you will be scolded, at least the degree will not be too serious.
"Okay, I'll go ask them right away."
With that said, Du Chuke left immediately.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan saw Wu Zuo looking around.
Wang Xiaohua asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Wu Zuo frowned and said, "I'm looking for the murder weapon."
"The murder weapon?"
Wang Xiaohua said: "Is that the heavy object that hit the deceased?"
Wu Zuo nodded: "The murder weapon must still be stained with blood. It shouldn't be difficult to find."
"But there is none here."
Wang Xiaohua guessed: "Could the murderer have hidden it?"
Wu Zuo shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."
"There were some scattered stone chips at the wound of the deceased, so as expected, the deceased should have been stoned to death."
"And stones can be found everywhere. They must have been picked up from the ground by the murderer."
"So, this kind of murder weapon will not reveal the murderer's identity at all, and the murderer has no reason to hide it."
"If it is really hidden, once it is discovered, it will be exposed."
Wang Xiaohua suddenly realized.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan suddenly said: "In addition to the fact that the murder weapon is not here, have you noticed that there are no obvious radioactive blood stains on the ground?"
Wu Zuo was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, suddenly raised his head, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said: "Is this what Mr. Qin meant?"
Qin Wenyuan squinted his eyes and said, "I just checked the wound of the deceased. There was a lot of blood on the surface of the wound."
"Based on such wounds, it can be inferred that when the murderer committed the murder, blood must have spurted out from the deceased."
"However, there are only a few drops of blood on the edge of the well, but there are no obvious, radiating blood stains."
"This can only mean..."
Wang Xiaoman asked: "What does it mean?"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes were deep and his tone was calm as he said: "This is not the scene of the first discovery!"
"Isn't it the scene of the first discovery?"
Wang Xiaohuafeng's eyes widened, she looked at Qin Wenyuan with watery eyes, and said unexpectedly: "Since this is not the first discovery site, then where is the discovery site?"
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "We need to look for it."
He found a government official and said, "I want to inspect the place where Zhang Qin usually works."
The yamen servant hurriedly said: "Master Qin, please come here."
Soon, the government officials took Qin Wenyuan and the others to Zhang Qin's office.
As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Qin is the third-in-command of the Ministry of Industry.
Given his status, his office is naturally in a separate room.
Pushing open the door, the yamen servant said: "This is it."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
He stood at the door and looked inside.
I saw that the area of the office room was not too large.
There is a table, several chairs, and a row of bookshelves next to it.
There are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and some notebooks on the table, and there are some books on the bookshelf.
Very concise and simple.
"When you checked before, was this door open or closed?"
Qin Wenyuan asked the Yamen servant.
The officer said: "It's open."
On?
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
With the door open and standing outside, you can see the office room clean at a glance.
This means that there is no one inside.
I'm not afraid of anyone checking.
It seems that there is a high probability that this will not be the scene of the first discovery.
Otherwise, the door would never be left open when the murderer was cleaning up the scene, wiping away the blood, and disposing of the murder weapon.
After all, if anyone is walking around outside and just glances around, he can spot something unusual.
Of course, this does not exclude the fact that the murderer opened the door only after he finished dealing with the scene.
Qin Wenyuan asked the yamen officer for further confirmation and said: "Before I asked you to search for Zhang Qin, did anyone pay attention to whether his office was open or closed?"
The yamen officer thought for a while and said: "Mr. Du asked before that there is a well not far from this office. When putting out the fire, many people passed by here to draw water. They said that when they passed by here, the door opened.
It's always been opened, never closed."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
Now it's completely confirmed.
This won't be the first discovery site.
However, even if it is not the first discovery site, there may still be some important clues.
Qin Wenyuan entered the office room.
He came to the table and sat down.
Look at the things on the table.
The papers were spread out on the table in a mess, the brushes hung on the pen holders, and the inkstone was completely dry.
Qin Wenyuan wiped his finger on the inkstone, but there was no trace of ink.
This shows that the inkstone has not been used for a while.
He looked at the booklet beside him and flipped it open, only to see some application documents from the Ministry of Industry.
This document needs Zhang Qin's approval.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at the date and saw that these were all delivered today.
However, all the books and notebooks were piled together, but none of them had any approval results.
This shows that he has no intention of doing anything all day long.
Han Qian was found to be in trouble in the morning.
Does this prove that Zhang Qin had already noticed that something was wrong before Han Qian came to the Yamen?
Then, he set fire to the archives room and killed Han Qian's tail.
But if he doesn't do anything for a day, doesn't he worry about being suspected?
When files are burned, everyone is in danger.
At this time, Zhang Qin had not done anything all day long. Such an abnormality would definitely attract attention.
As a spy of the Beidou Society, how dare he attract so much attention?
unless……
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the table.
Unless, Zhang Qin is not worried about his abnormality being discovered at all!
Because, he doesn't care.
If you find something, you will discover it. If you doubt it, you will doubt it. It will not affect him.
Because, he has left!
Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly flashed.
"In fact, after setting the fire, Zhang Qin planned to escape directly and leave the Ministry of Works completely!"
"He knows that something happened to Han Qian, which may implicate him, so he wants to withdraw!"
"Setting fire to the files was what he did to cover up all the clues before evacuating."
