Chapter 697 I’m here?

Shen Lian paused for a moment and said: "I learned that when the fire broke out, the doors and windows of the deceased's office were always open, and many people saw it when they passed by."

"In this case, it shows that the murderer could not have committed the murder there. After all, the probability of being discovered is too high, so the deceased's office is not the first crime scene."

"So, where is the scene of the first crime?"

"I felt very headache at that time, because I might have to go from room to room to find it. But the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is so big. If I really wanted to find it like that, would I have to go there in the year of the monkey?"

"And just when I felt a headache, I came here."

"Then, I relaxed."

Zhao Yeqin subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Shen Lian took a deep look at Zhao Yeqin and said lightly: "Anything else to say? Of course..."

"My officer, we have found the first crime scene."

"in other words."

Shen Lian lightly stamped his feet and said, "This is the number one crime scene!"

When they heard Shen Lian say, "This is the scene of the first crime, the expressions of everyone in the room changed."

Wang Xiaohua looked at this room with a surprised look on her face. She couldn't believe that where they were now was the scene of the crime!

Sishe looked around the entire room seriously, trying to find clues and evidence that could prove that this was the scene of the first crime.

Zhao Yeqin, on the other hand, brushed his eyes, his eyes widened, and his pupils contracted violently.

At this moment, the change in his expression could no longer be concealed.

As for Han Xun, the foreign minister opposite, he held the tea cup tightly with his hand and frowned slowly.

Wang Xiaohua looked at the faces of several people and asked at the right time: "Master Shen, why do you say this is the scene of the first crime?"

Several other people also looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian said calmly: "As I said before, the deceased's death time will be within half an hour."

"Half an hour is not a long time."

"In addition, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Han just said that they saw the deceased at the well three-quarters of an hour ago."

"Since you dare to say this with certainty, it means that others must have seen it and can testify for you."

"Therefore, the time of death of the deceased can be further shortened to within three quarters of an hour."

"Three quarters of an hour is not long at all. It takes a certain amount of time to kill someone, and more time to deal with the scene."

"However, with such a small amount of time, and excluding the time to move the body, the time we have to deal with the scene is even shorter."

"Under normal circumstances, it would take each murderer several hours to deal with the scene, and there may be traces left behind, let alone in such a hurry."

"Therefore..."

Shen Lian said slowly: "Actually, there are still many traces left at the scene."

Zhao Yeqin looked at the room carefully with wide eyes. He didn't know: "Traces? Where are the traces?"

Shen Lian said calmly: "In your eyes, there are no traces here, but in my eyes, there are traces of the crime everywhere."

"for example?"

Zhao Yeqin asked.

Shen Lian raised his fingertips and said calmly: "For example, there are these flies on the ground behind me."

"fly?"

Zhao Yeqin and others were stunned.

They quickly looked behind Shen Lian.

I saw that there were indeed a lot of flies on the ground behind the stool where Shen Lian was sitting.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Look at other areas of the ground. Are there any flies?"

Everyone glanced around.

Sure enough, there isn't.

Shen Lian said: "After killing someone, there will definitely be blood splashed or flowed to the ground."

"Even if you have wiped away the blood stains, your time is too short. All you can wipe away is the superficial blood stains, and there is no way to deal with it in depth."

"And this leads to blood stains that we humans cannot see, but these flies can clearly find them."

"Blood is a delicious tonic for these flies. Even if it is wiped off the surface, it may not be able to hide the perception of these flies."

"So, the place where they are gathering at this moment should be the place where the blood spattered."

"Similarly..."

Shen Lian pointed to the file on Han Xun's desk that was put away by Han Xun, and said calmly: "It's no surprise that your file is also stained with blood, right?"

"Because there were flies flying around the file just now."

"Furthermore, when Zhao Yeqin mentioned the dossier, he paused suddenly, and then Han Xun, you cleverly changed the topic and our attention."

"I think it was when Zhao Yeqin mentioned the file that he suddenly realized that it was stained with blood. He was afraid of being discovered by his own officer, so he stopped quickly."

"And you also noticed Zhao Yeqin's mistake, but you were calmer and more composed than Zhao Yeqin, so you changed the subject in silence."

"But you don't know that even if Zhao Yeqin doesn't stop, I will already know the truth just by looking at the behavior of these flies."

Zhao Yeqin's eyes widened.

The eyes looking at Shen Lian were full of disbelief.

Han Xun, on the other hand, pursed his lips tightly and grasped the dossier's hand harder and harder, causing blood vessels to bulge on the back of his hand.

The office room fell into silence again.

Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun both looked at Shen Lian in shock.

They were silent for a while, not knowing what to say at all.

Wang Xiaohua, on the other hand, looked at Shen Lian with admiration in her eyes.

When Shen Lian came here, it seemed that he just had a cup of tea and chatted for a while, but the truth had been discovered by him.

Any clue, any thing in this room, even just a fly, becomes the key to solving the case.

In Wang Xiaohua's view, there is no one else in this world who is as wise, powerful and wise as Shen Lian.

Sishe has been following Shen Lian for too long and has seen too many more shocking scenes than this, so he seems very calm.

He picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down what Shen Lian said.

When Shen Lian saw that everyone was silent, he slowly stood up and stood behind his stool.

He said: "So, based on the blood stains at the scene, I think that the deceased should have been sitting here just like me when the crime occurred."

Shen Lian pointed to the stool and said, "Zhang Qin is sitting here, drinking tea very leisurely."

"Then, the murderer is Han Xun."

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said calmly: "You are suddenly filled with anger and murderous intent, making it difficult to suppress it."

"So, you stood up from your seat and picked up the tiger stone sculpture on your table."

"Then, come here, where I am."

Shen Lian took the tiger stone sculpture out of Han Xun's box. He glanced at the stone sculpture, then turned his position, held it with both hands, and stood behind the stool.

Said: "You hold this stone sculpture tightly, then smash it towards the back of Zhang Qin's head!"

As he spoke, Shen Lian swung the stone sculpture hard and hit it downwards.

"Just like that, blood splashed backwards along the wound, fell to the ground, and also fell to the open file on your desk not far away."

"Of course, it also landed on your clothes and on the tiger stone sculpture."

Having said this, Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said slowly: "Although I have not seen you during the day, I think the official robe you are wearing now is not the one you wore during the day, right?"

"After all, blood stains on the floor are easy to wipe off, but blood stains on clothes are not so easy to wash off."

"Besides, even if you wash it, it won't dry so quickly, so you can only change your clothes. Am I right?"

Han Xun was silent.

Zhao Yeqin's eyes were widened and he didn't know what expression to show.

No one answered.

But no one denied it.

Because they all know this, you can find out by just asking anyone.

There is no use in denying it.

"That's right, the official robe Han Xun wears during the day is not this one."

At this time, there was a sound outside.

I saw Du Chuke, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, walking in. He didn't know how much he heard outside, and his eyes at this time were very complicated.

He looked at Han Xun and said, "Han Xun, is it really you?"

Han Xun looked down at the table and did not respond to Du Chuke's words.

As Han Xun's superior officer, Du Chuke understood Han Xun's character. When he saw Han Xun's reaction, he understood everything.

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen, why do you suspect Han Xun?"

"It was Zhao Yeqin who obviously had conflicts with Zhang Qin. Why do you suspect Han Xun is the murderer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Lian curiously.

Zhao Yeqin was also very confused.

He knew that Shen Lian must have doubted him when he mentioned that he wanted to come to his office.

But why, in the end, Shen Lian directly concluded that it was Han Xun who killed him?

Obviously there is no conflict between Han Xun and Zhang Qin?

Shen Lian said calmly: "This matter is very simple, just because of a cup of tea."

"A cup of tea?"

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Lian sat back and said, "When I first arrived here, there were two teacups on Mr. Zhao's table."

"I found that there was still a trace of heat rising on the surface of the teacup."

"It is late autumn at this time. Although it is not that cold, it is not too hot either. The tea in the teacup has not completely cooled down yet. This can only mean that someone was sitting here drinking tea not long ago."

"The fire started burning an hour ago, but within an hour, the tea would have been completely cold."

"But the tea is still hot. What does this mean?"

Everyone looked at him closely.

Shen Lian said: "It means that in the middle of the fire, Zhao Yeqin was still here to entertain the guests."

"However, the fire has affected the entire Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Who can still drink tea and chat so leisurely at this anxious moment?"

"As a result, I thought of the only one who was not worried about the fire, and was even the initiator of the fire - Zhang Qin!"

Hearing the words Zhang Qin, everyone's eyes flashed.

Wang Xiaohua squeezed her little hands excitedly, she finally waited for the deceased to appear.

Zhao Yeqin and Han Xun pursed their lips, and their faces turned a little pale.

Du Chuke, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked surprised. He said: "Master Shen, you mean... Zhang Qin was the one who set the fire in the archives room?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He took out a handkerchief from his arms and opened it, only to see a broken piece of blackened porcelain on it.

Shen Lian said: "This was found on the second floor of my file room, where it was most severely burned."

Du Chuke solved the broken pieces of porcelain.

Shen Lian continued: "I also asked the government officials to collect other broken pieces of porcelain when cleaning up the scene. As expected, they should have collected some of them."

At this time, a government official who came over from Du Chuke said: "We found eight more broken pieces of porcelain."

Shen Lian said: "Bring it over."

The yamen servant quickly brought the other broken pieces of porcelain.

Shen Lian picked up the broken porcelain pieces and simply spliced ​​them together.

He immediately said: "Look, these broken porcelain pieces can be assembled into a porcelain vase, but this porcelain vase is not complete yet. There should be some porcelain pieces that have not been found."

"But this does not prevent us from getting a clear picture of the entire porcelain vase."

"Under this porcelain vase, which is the first fragment I found, there is the word "Jingde" written on it. This is the merchant who made the porcelain vase."

"And just now, when I was inspecting Zhang Qin's office, I saw some small porcelain bottles on his bookshelf."

"That's it."

Shen Lian flicked his sleeves, and a porcelain bottle fell into his palm.

He said: "Look at it."

After Du Chuke took it, he quickly looked at it.

At this time, he discovered that the porcelain vase was exactly the same as the broken porcelain vase, and the words written on the bottom were also the same.

Shen Lian said: "In addition to these, I also found some dark yellow traces on the booklet above Zhang Qin. I smelled it and it smelled like kerosene."

"I think it was the porcelain bottle that Zhang Qin poured kerosene into, and it accidentally dripped on the book."

"Combined with the fact that Zhang Qin was the last person to enter before the fire, it becomes obvious."

Shen Lian said calmly: "The truth should be that after Zhang Qin entered the second floor of the archives room, he placed a small burning candle on the bookshelf. The candle was placed at the innermost part of the bookshelf, and then the outside was blocked by the archives."

"So, the chief who was guarding the file room did not find any abnormalities during the inspection."

"Then, he placed this small porcelain bottle under the candle and waited for the candle to burn. When it came into contact with the kerosene, the kerosene would burn quickly."

"This is why the owner smells the smell of kerosene and hears the sound of something falling to the ground in the fire place."

"The sound is the sound of the porcelain bottle breaking after it falls. The kerosene is the smell of the kerosene that is completely spread out after the porcelain bottle is broken and the flames on it burn."

……………………

"The other porcelain bottles in Zhang Qin's room and the traces of kerosene on the book can prove my above inference."

"The other porcelain bottles in Zhang Qin's room and the traces of kerosene on the book can prove my above inference."
