Chapter 36: The case in the case, the murderer provokes resentment
Qin Shaobai rushed to Yanshan and saw that the scene was surrounded.
Song Ci was squatting next to a man and looking carefully.
The man's face had an expression of pain and fear, and his mouth was opened wide, as if that was how he could breathe.
Xiao Shan pointed at the woman standing blankly beside him: "Master Qin, that is the deceased's wife, she was the one who reported the crime."
Qin Shaobai turned around and saw that the woman was very delicate and pretty, and looked out of place with the old and ugly man on the ground.
"This woman's name is Shi Yayun. She is from Nankai County, Lin County. She just married to Nanyang County this year. According to her own words, she has no relatives in Nankai County."
"Have you found out the identity of the deceased?"
"It has been found out that the deceased's name is Wang Er, from Nanyang County, and he is a butcher."
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but take another look at the man. Sure enough, he was tall and thick, and he was a pig-killing material.
"Why would a pig butcher come to this mountain?"
"The woman said she didn't know. She only said that she was serving dinner to the deceased's old mother at home when she heard the neighbor's uncle calling her, saying that she saw her man closing the shop and asked her if she was at home.
What's the matter?"
"Continue." Seeing that Song Ci was still looking at the body intently, Qin Shaobai knew that he shouldn't disturb him now, so he continued to ask Xiao Shan.
"When Mrs. Wang Shi heard this, she was very surprised and rushed to the store. Sure enough, her husband Wang Er had already closed the door, picked up a package and left."
"Then Wang Er didn't go home, but went up the mountain, right?"
"Yes, Wang Shi followed Wang Er, but was quickly thrown away by Wang Er. When she heard a scream and ran to Wang Er, Wang Er was already dead."
"Is the package Wang Er brought out still there?"
"Sir, we have been searching around for a long time, but we still can't find this package." Xiao Shan said, "So, I think this is a robbery and murder case."
Robbery and murder seem quite logical.
But why did Wang Er not open a good store and come to this barren mountain just for people to rob it?
"You take this woman back to the Yamen first. I'll ask Mr. Song what's found on the body, and I'll go back with Mr. Song."
"Master Qin." Song Ci finally stood up from the body, "There are no obvious injuries on this man's body. There is a bruise on his head, and his feet are wrapped with vines. It is initially thought that he is in a hurry to do something, no.
My feet got caught in the vines, and I rushed forward, then hit the rock."
Qin Shaobai asked people to take the body to Yizhuang first. He looked at the stone carefully and found that the blood on it had dried up. There were some hair and fur substances in the blood, which should belong to Wang Er.
Look at the vines that were torn off by Xiao Shan. There are several vines crisscrossing each other, and there are many weeds beside them.
Qin Shaobai looked around.
The nearest big tree is a few meters away, and these crisscrossing vines look more like someone placed them here deliberately.
He pulled out the weeds again and found that the roots of the grass were very shallow, and the soil seemed to have just been turned over and deliberately stepped on.
"Brother Xiao."
Xiao Shan ran over.
"Do you often find people here to hoe the ground and sort out the weeds?"
Xiao Shan looked at it and shook his head: "This mountain is so far away from the county. There are not many people here on weekdays. There shouldn't be anyone here to sort out the weeds. Mr. Song, did you find anything?"
Qin Shaobai pulled Xiao Shan down and said, "Pull out these grasses."
Xiao Shan looked at Qin Shaobai suspiciously, but he obediently pulled it out with force.
Who knew that he used too much force, and the grass was pulled out all of a sudden. He fell to the ground, and his butt seemed to be stuck on something. When he touched it with his hand, it was sticky. When he raised his hand again, he was almost frightened.
When he fainted, his hands were filled with blood.
"Come here, pull out all the grass here." Qin Shaobai ordered, his voice unmistakable.
Soon, the patch of grass was pulled out cleanly, and all the vines scattered across the grass were cleared away.
Everyone looked at the yellow land and turned their attention to Qin Shaobai.
"Go find a hoe and dig up this land."
Xiao Shan and the others were looking for hoes, and Song Ci walked up to Qin Shaobai: "Master Qin, did you find something?"
Qin Shaobai pointed to the place where Xiao Shan touched the blood just now, and then pointed to the blood stain on the stone: "Master Song also saw it just now, Wang Er just hit his head on the stone, and the stone was some distance away from here.
Even if the blood on the stone flows down, it will not flow here, let alone jump such a distance and flow directly here."
"So you think this blood should be another person's blood?"
Qin Shaobai nodded.
At this time, Xiao Shan and the others were already digging hard, and suddenly a young catcher screamed, dropped his hoe and stepped back.
Everyone rushed over quickly.
Next to the little catcher's hoe, a face blurred by the mud appeared.
"Seal the scene quickly." Qin Shaobai ordered, but an indescribable fear surged deep in his heart.
Soon, all the corpses buried in the soil were dug out, and there were as many as three.
Judging from the degree of decomposition of their bodies, these three corpses must have been dead for two or three days. Moreover, these three corpses were actually children, probably about ten years old.
"Xiao Shan, has the county government received any cases of missing children recently?"
Xiao Shan scratched his hair and thought for a while: "It seems that before Li Xian left, he received a report that his child was working as an apprentice outside. They made an appointment to come back at the end of every month, but they waited until early this morning and still didn't see the child.
return."
"Today is the second day of September. According to this calculation, the child should be one of the corpses. Go find the person who reported the crime and ask him to come and identify the body."
After giving instructions to Xiao Shan, Qin Shaobai turned to Song Ci: "Sir Song, these three corpses have been buried for several days. Can you still find out the cause of their death?"
"Well, the corpses must be sent to Yizhuang first for proper cleaning. Then I can examine the corpses carefully. I believe that the superficial evidence on their bodies cannot be extracted."
Qin Shaobai pondered for a moment and ordered the bodies of the three children to be transported to Yizhuang, waiting for Song Ci to come and examine them.
After everything was arranged, Qin Shaobai found that Song Ci was still standing in a daze where Xiao Shan had just fallen.
"Shaobai, do you think the blood here belongs to these children? But when I think about it carefully, it's unlikely. After the children were buried, the murderer brought so many grass trees and planted it into a grassland.
By pulling up vines to cover it up, they definitely won't let the child's blood flow outside for anyone to easily discover."
After hearing this, Qin Shaobai couldn't help but frowned again. He wanted to smoke a cigarette now, but he knew it was impossible. He could only put his hand to his lips in a smoking motion, and then raised his head towards the air.
He took a breath.
Still have no idea at all.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I will figure it out one day."
"Yeah, it's getting dark, and I have to rush to Yizhuang to perform autopsies on the three corpses to see if I can find any better clues. Shaobai, I don't think I can go to Wangxianglou to help you.
Celebrated.”
Qin Shaobai really wants to curse now, Song Ci, Song Ci, seeing three, no, four living lives disappearing in front of him, who the hell is still in the mood to go to Wangxiang Tower to celebrate.
If this case is not settled, I might not be able to eat a single meal or sleep well all night.
I'm not afraid that these four dead ghosts will come to me in the middle of the night to help me solve the case.
"Sir Qin, Wang Shi has been imprisoned in prison. When will you interrogate her?" Xiao Shan ran back from the Yamen again.
"Why should she be imprisoned? There is no evidence to prove that Wang Er's death is related to her. As the saying goes, she should be sent home without suspicion."
Xiao Shan looked troubled and looked at Song Ci asking for help.
When Song Ci heard what Qin Shaobai said about guilt, he suddenly felt that Qin Shaobai was playing too big a trick this time.
The law of the Song Dynasty has always been that if you are found guilty, you will be thrown into jail first, and then tortured and tortured. With conclusive evidence, the case will finally be decided by the local governor.
He had never heard of a suspect being found guilty, let alone letting the suspect go home.
"Master Song, please think twice about this. If Mr. Wang Shi escapes after returning home, the case may reach a deadlock."
Qin Shaobai really couldn't understand why Song Ci was so rigid in this matter, but when he saw Song Ci's affirmative look, he knew that it was useless to argue, so he simply said: "Then let's go interrogate that king now."
Shi, if she has evidence of alibi, or if she has any witnesses, we can directly acquit her and go home."
Seeing that Song Ci and Xiao Shan still didn't respond, Qin Shaobai added: "Master Song, Brother Xiao, please don't forget that there is an old paralyzed mother in Wang Shi's family. If she is also imprisoned,
,Who will take care of that old mother?"
"Okay, let's go to interrogate the Wang Shi family first. As for the case of these three children, we are not in a hurry. It won't be too late to investigate after their identities are confirmed." Song Ci patted Qin Shaobai on the shoulder, "Qin Shaobai
Sir, maybe you will change some things that we have been afraid to change."
