He did not die from a fall, which means that the scene found by the village women was the second scene. Liu Cuilan was probably beaten to death by the murderer with a blunt instrument, and then transported to the footpath to fake her death from a fall.
There may be some clues at the scene of the first crime, and he has to go look for them.
In addition, we also need to determine the cause of Liu Cuilan's death. Why would others kill Liu Cuilan, a fool?
Vendetta? A fool should not have any big hatred against others.
Jealousy? Liu Cuilan seems to have a decent appearance, but it is possible.
Robbery? Who would rob a fool?
With many doubts, Zhang Yichi waited until Wang Shimin's younger brother Wang Shiren.
Wang Shiren ran to borrow the only two bicycles in the village. Now Wang Shimin was grief-stricken and in a very bad mood. He probably couldn't follow Zhang Yichi to the scene. It was inconvenient for the village chief to ride a bicycle across mountains and rivers at such an old age, so he might as well
Take care of the bodies of Wang Shimin and Liu Cuilan.
So in the end, Zhang Yichi and Wang Shiren each had a bicycle, and Wang Shiren led the way to the scene.
The place was still a bit far away. It took them twenty minutes to drive the electric tricycle, and it took them more than half an hour to get there by bicycle.
The two village women listened to Zhang Yichi's words very much. One was watching from the path and the other was watching from the second scene. Zhang Yichi asked Wang Shiren to go down first, parked the car himself, and came to the village where he was waiting on the path.
In front of the woman.
"Has anyone been here?" Zhang Yichi asked.
"No."
Zhang Yichi stood on the side of the road and glanced down. Below him happened to be where another village woman was standing. If Liu Cuilan fell to death, then the position where she fell before she fell should be where he is standing now.
"Stand aside." Zhang Yichi asked the village woman to step aside and observed the surroundings carefully.
There are some unclear footprints around, but the footprints are very messy and cannot provide useful information. Other than that, there is nothing.
"Let's go down." Zhang Yichi, who had spent a few minutes observing without success, walked down the slope on one side. When he saw the village woman, he asked first, "Has anyone been here?"
"Has anyone been here?" the village woman replied.
Zhang Yichi stepped unsteadily on the gravel and came to the scene. There was still a pool of blood there: "You were the first to find out that Liu Cuilan died here, right?"
"hold head high."
"Do you still remember Liu Cuilan's appearance? Was she disheveled when she was here?" Zhang Yichi asked.
"Why don't you pay attention?" the village woman said.
Zhang Yichi asked another village woman, who said no.
That shouldn't be rape and murder.
It may be possible to rearrange the clothes after the rape and murder, but blood stains will inevitably be stained when arranging the clothes. When Zhang Yichi looked at Liu Cuilan's body, there was no blood stains except for the head.
Or it may be more complicated. The murderer violated Liu Cuilan before killing her, helped her tidy up her clothes after the violation, and finally killed her and silenced her.
So it can only be said that it was not rape and murder, and Zhang Yichi cannot be sure.
After all, he is the only one, and he is not a professional forensic doctor. In addition, the villagers are very traditional and do not accept that his wife should be looked at by other men after her death. Therefore, due to professional issues and conceptual resistance, Zhang Yichi cannot conduct any examination on the body.
More investigation.
"I would like to trouble everyone again, this should not be the first scene. Let's take a look around to see if there are any blood stains." Zhang Yichi mobilized his collective strength to conduct a detailed search of the surrounding area.
The two village women were happy to help the police, and together with Wang Shiren, a total of four people started searching.
It took more than twenty minutes for a village woman to find a drop of blood on a stone six or seven meters away from the scene!
Zhang Yichi went over to take a look and was sure it was blood.
Then, several people searched the surrounding area focusing on this drop of blood.
This time it was faster, only four or five minutes later, another bloodstain was found. This time there was more blood, and the three drops of blood were very close to each other. Zhang Yichi guessed that the murderer might have been carrying Liu Cuilan's body more often here.
Stand for a few seconds to rest.
There are now blood stains in three places.
Two places are drops of blood, and one is the second scene.
Zhang Yichi connected these three places into a line, and then he had a clear route for transporting the murderer. He walked in the direction pointed by the line, searching along the way, and found more and more blood stains.
The three people who followed also made different discoveries.
After advancing like this for dozens of minutes, and several hundred meters away from the second scene, Zhang Yichi discovered something strange in a place where the soil showed signs of being renovated.
"Over there." Zhang Yichi walked over there and reminded the other three people that they didn't need to waste time searching for blood stains around them.
After passing by, Zhang Yichi did not turn over the soil rashly, but first carefully observed the shoe prints on the ground.
The geology here is relatively soft, and the shoe prints are more obvious. Zhang Yichi still had his pen and paper, so he climbed down and drew the shoe prints little by little. The drawing may not be particularly accurate, but he
I drew all the features on the shoe print completely and accurately.
The shoe print wasn't as big as his shoes, but it wasn't too small either.
Shoe prints, carrying the body several hundred meters, and beating Liu Cuilan, many clues prove that the murderer is a man.
Only two types of shoe prints were found at the scene, one was the man's shoe print, and the other was a much smaller shoe print. Zhang Yichi suspected it was Liu Cuilan's. So there was only one murderer.
After checking these, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned over the newly renovated soil.
After digging some more, Zhang Yichi soon discovered that a piece of soil was red, completely different from the color of the surrounding soil. He crushed the soil and got some red stuff on his hands.
It should be blood stains.
Zhang Yichi became more serious.
He was basically certain that this was the first scene. The murderer killed Liu Cuilan here, turned over the soil to cover the blood stains on the ground, and then moved the body to a path several hundred meters away, pretending that Liu Cuilan had slipped and fell to death.
Zhang Yichi, who was thoughtful and sharp, quickly pushed out the entire clue. He stood up and scanned his surroundings to sort out the logic.
Liu Cuilan died from being hit on the head with a blunt instrument.
Why did the murderer use a blunt instrument?
A sharp weapon could easily kill her with one hit, but it took several hits with a blunt weapon to cause Liu Cuilan's death.
Why choose the inconvenient way?
Zhang Yichi felt that the scene and the entire cover-up process of the murderer did not look like they had been planned in advance, but more like a sudden attack. This means that the murderer probably did not intend to kill Liu Cuilan before, so he did not carry a murder weapon.
"There is no murder weapon..." Zhang Yichi murmured, finally focusing on the surrounding rocks.
It is very possible to use a stone to cause a wound like Liu Cuilan's head! And the stone is the most convenient blunt weapon you can find when you want to kill people on the spur of the moment!
Zhang Yichi tried to look for the stone that hit Liu Cuilan, but to no avail. He spent more than ten minutes and did not see any bloody stone.
It was probably thrown further away by the murderer.
The thoughtful Zhang Yichi returned to the renovated land, squatted down and looked at the blood-stained soil and pondered.
Suddenly, with a jolt, he saw a very clear shoe print next to the clod of soil. There was no such shoe print here before, so it was the one he had just stepped on!
Zhang Yichi's eyes widened, and he suddenly discovered that the shoe prints were exactly the same as the shoe prints he had just drawn! Among the four people present, apart from him and two village women wearing small shoes, only Wang Shimin's younger brother Wang Shiren remained!
