Su Yizhao took a deep breath, then turned around and said speechlessly: "Father! If you are scared, just stay back. Don't be surprised. It's scary. It's scary to death."
Hearing this, Su Wenqing immediately took down the hand that was patting her chest, "Who, who said I'm scared? I'm not!"
Looking at Su Wenqing who took a few steps back, Su Yizhao laughed mercilessly: "Yeah? You are not afraid at all!"
They turned to look at the corpse in front of them. Because their pupils were dilated and their eyes were wide open, they were not prepared and suddenly faced each other, which really shocked them.
"It's already early summer, and even if we go ashore, it will take a day or so for the government to come. To prevent rot, Mr. Du had better put more ice cubes in the room!"
Su Yizhao remembered that this was the cabin of a ship. If it had been stored for a long time, it would definitely have a smell.
"But all the money I brought has disappeared, and now I am short of money..."
Mr. Du looked embarrassed. Ice on the ship was very expensive and not something ordinary people could afford.
Upon seeing this, shopkeeper Zhou immediately expressed his position, "Master Du, there is no need to worry. I will ask the kitchen to prepare it later and bring out more ice cubes."
To be honest, it happened on their ship, and they can't escape the blame!
Su Yizhao looked at the face of the deceased. There was nothing on the bun, and the wrists were also empty. Only a pair of hollow carved plum blossom-shaped earrings inlaid with pearls were worn on the ears.
Huh? No! As soon as Su Yizhao got closer, he smelled a strange smell.
Su Yizhao's eyes suddenly froze, but he carefully observed the face of the deceased.
"The dagger was inserted into her abdomen. There was a large pool of blood next to the table and chair. It seems that this is where the murder occurred."
Master Yang said, then turned to ask Master Du!
"You and your wife are the only ones returning home this time? Are there any other family members following you? Was the body just here on the ground? Were you the one who carried the body to bed?"
"It's not just my husband and I, but also an old nanny! The nanny is my wife's dowry and has taken care of her since she was a child. It's just that she is in poor health and her hearing and hands and feet are inconvenient. After boarding the ship, she became seasick again and was very uncomfortable.
It felt comfortable, so I let her rest in the room."
Master Yang looked around and said, "Which room are you in? Are you still resting at the moment?"
"We couldn't live in the house anymore, so we moved to a small room, just around the corner."
Master Yang was asking questions here, while Su Yizhao over there paid attention to the woman's abdomen after carefully observing her face.
The dagger passed under the ribs on the right side, not far from the center of the abdomen, but Su Yizhao guessed that it was the liver.
"Did you find anything?" Master Yang asked quickly when he saw that Su Yizhao had finished checking.
"The time of death is indeed between noon and noon, but there is something fishy about it!" Su Yizhao shook his head.
"Oh?" Mr. Yang raised his eyebrows and his eyes flashed.
Su Wenqing glanced at Su Yizhao up and down, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.
"When we first saw a pool of blood on the ground, and then looked at the dagger inserted into the deceased's abdomen, we first thought that the deceased had been stabbed to death!"
Su Yizhao pointed at the woman's abdomen and said to the people present.
"Indeed!" Mr. Yang nodded.
"But the student just observed the face of the deceased carefully and found that her face was cyanotic and slightly swollen, her eyes were bleeding in spots, and her lips and nails were cyanotic. And when the student got close to her just now, he smelled a strange smell, which was the smell of incontinence."
"What does this mean? Did the dagger inserted into her abdomen not kill her? Then how did she die?" Master Yang asked doubtfully.
"He must have been covered with his mouth and nose and suffocated to death!" Su Yizhao said with certainty.
"You mean she was strangled to death? Could it be that the murderer strangled her to death first, and then pierced her abdomen with a dagger, making people think she was stabbed to death?" Mr. Yang immediately analyzed.
After hearing this, Su Yizhao walked to the pool of blood, pointed at the table leg and said to everyone: "Look, everyone! If a person's body was stabbed by a sharp object while he was still alive, and he didn't pull it out, he wouldn't have caused such a large number of wounds.
There were splatters of blood. There were quite a few splatters of blood on the legs of the table and stool."
"Therefore, so much splattered blood can only mean that the deceased was still alive at that time and not dead. The blood flow on the body after death is very slow until it cools and stops flowing. Depending on the position of the body, it shows different degrees and positions.
Corpse spots.”
"So you judge that the deceased was still alive when he was stabbed by the dagger?" Master Yang asked.
Su Yizhao nodded, looked at the people who were listening carefully, and said: "Look at the location of the wound on the deceased's abdomen. At first glance, there is only one wound. But if you look closely, you can see that the edge of the wound is slightly irregular, indicating that there was a second wound.
Although it is still inserted in the same place, the wound will definitely not fit perfectly."
"There are no two identical leaves in this world. For the same reason, the chance of causing exactly the same wound is extremely slim."
Su Yizhao's words shocked Yang Tongpuan, "It makes sense!"
He didn't expect such a profound truth to come from the mouth of a child. This child was truly a monster.
"Then according to your opinion, the deceased was still alive when she was stabbed with the dagger? But why did you just say that she was strangled to death? Since a dagger was used, why should she be strangled to death? Just insert a few more knives.
Already?"
At this moment, Su Wenqing also became obviously interested and asked questions.
"There are two possibilities for this. First, maybe he wanted to create the illusion that the woman was stabbed to death by a dagger, but this also reveals that this person has no understanding of the different states of the body after death due to different reasons.
In other words, the murderer is a novice."
Su Yizhao explained.
Mr. Yang coughed lightly when he heard this. This statement was official, but it was unavoidable that it made people uncomfortable.
"What about second place?" Su Wenqing asked with great interest.
"Second, there may be more than one murderer."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Master Yang asked in surprise.
"Let's make a hypothesis. The first murderer entered the room and killed the deceased with a dagger. Although it pierced the internal organs, the deceased was not killed on the spot. The murderer fled immediately in panic."
"Then the second murderer entered the room and found the deceased lying on the ground. He injured the deceased again. Maybe he stabbed her a little more, but the deceased was not dead yet, so he covered her to death again?"
Su Yizhao pondered for a moment and came to two conclusions.
Su Wenqing suddenly realized, and then asked: "After your analysis, my father thinks that the second possibility is more likely. But in this case, there may be more than two murderers. What if there are three?"
Su Wenqing's interest was already aroused. He walked around and touched his chin with his hand.
"Let me also assume that the first murderer entered the room as Xiaoqi said, stabbed the deceased, and then fled in a hurry.
Then the second murderer came in and found that the deceased was not dead, so he stabbed him again. In panic, he ran away again. Finally, the third murderer came in and was the one who covered the deceased to death."
