Jiang Wu said she wanted to do an autopsy? This sentence naturally has different tastes in different people's ears. Most people have long known that she was the widower of Beizhen Fusi before, and even heard that she can not only do autopsies.
, she can also perform an autopsy, but... can she really examine this case?
After all, there were so many people here, and it was difficult for Fu Heng to say clearly that she was definitely not the murderer. He asked, "Where were you last night?"
Jiang Wu replied: "I slept in my room last night. If you don't believe me, my two maids can testify for me. If you feel that the maids' words cannot be used as evidence, you can also go to my room to check. Last night, I
It rained heavily, and many of the footprints outside were gone, but also because of the rain, no matter who went out last night, the soles and uppers of their shoes would be stained with mud."
"But what if that person changed his shoes?" someone asked.
Jiang Wu said: "It's impossible to throw away your shoes even if you change them. The mountain has been closed now and no one can go down. From this morning to now, there are only people going up the mountain and no one going down. Even the servants who buy things on weekdays have stopped."
I’ve never been there, but if the abandoned shoes can be found in the academy, wouldn’t the case be 90% solved?”
No one could find anything wrong with what Jiang Wu said. Everyone looked at each other, and almost no one spoke anymore. Jiang Wu said again: "In addition to the shoes, there are also traces of the house. There are only a few daughters and servants in the west courtyard.
, the weather has been humid recently, and according to the intensity of the rain last night, no matter what, there must still be residual muddy water in the house."
It seems... there is some truth.
However, this time someone said again: "Then since you know everything and have said so much, how can we know whether you have erased all traces long ago? Everyone knows that you were once the Beizhen Fusi
You Zuo, looking at the way you looked just now, you are the one who knows best."
Jiang Wu sneered: "I understand, so what? Does this prove that I might kill her? Does this prove that I can erase all traces? There is no mop or broom in each of our rooms. The girl who sweeps the courtyard is
The rough maids in the academy, if the ladies' personal maids want to sweep the floor, they have to go to the servants' room to apply for it. Every payment will be registered in the book. I only brought these two maids up the mountain. You might as well go and take a look.
Are their names on the application booklet for the servant room?"
The man still wanted to speak, but Jiang Wu interrupted him without hesitation: "Instead of hurriedly looking for loopholes in what I said, it would be better to compile a list of all suspicious persons as soon as possible.
Just like what I just said, the murderer killed someone last night and hasn't come down from the mountain yet, so he is probably hiding in the crowd."
"Her shoes and socks were stained with mud. If she changed to new shoes, the old shoes would have to be hidden. There were footprints in her room, which could not be erased unless he went to the servants' room to get a rag and a broom.
"
…
Beizhen Fu Si brought the corpse up. Since Jiang Wu was more or less a suspect this time, he was not allowed to conduct a separate autopsy.
Jiang Qingshan seemed to have some objections to the fact that she wanted to conduct an autopsy, but Jiang Wu retorted: "If I just sit back and watch, wouldn't it look like I have a guilty conscience?"
Jiang Qingshan said calmly: "That's fine. After we finish dealing with it here, you come with me."
The widow that Jin Yiwei brought this time was named Chen. He looked quite young. Chen had heard about the reputation of Jiang Wu, a female widow, before, and now he was somewhat interested in asking for advice.
"The deceased Xu Han had no other wounds on her body, and no skin flakes were found in her fingernails. The fatal wound was on her throat, which was about five centimeters long. She was killed with one knife, and her trachea was directly cut. The time of death should be Yinshi last night. Now
The climate is cold and corpse spots have appeared."
Chen Wuzuo said, and after finishing speaking, he was slightly interested to see if this little girl could still explain why——
Jiang Wuze said: "The deceased's fatal wound was on his throat. The cause of death was a ruptured trachea. The knife should have been a short dagger. And judging from the blood spatter marks on the sheets and the wall, the murderer took advantage of the deceased's sleep to kill him."
She changed from lying on her side against the wall to lying on her back, and... the murderer was left-handed."
Chen Wuzuo was not convinced when he first listened, but at the end he was a little shocked: "How can you tell that you are left-handed?"
Jiang Wu pointed at the scar on Xu Han's neck and said: "When the murderer kills someone, he will habitually use the posture that feels most comfortable to him. In many cases, the murderer's right hand is his dominant hand, and the knife edge should be from the left.
As you move up and to the right, the arc of the wound becomes smaller; but the left-handed murderer is on the opposite side, sir, please look here."
Chen Wuzuo followed Jiang Wu's hand and saw that it was as she said. Xu Han's neck was obviously from right to left. Unless the murderer held the knife backwards, he was definitely left-handed.
But... Jiang Wu pondered: "Based on the corpse, the murderer should indeed be left-handed, but equally, this murderer was able to complete the murder quietly without disturbing Lan'er and Xing'er, the two maids who lived in the side room.
It proves that he must be a person with strong martial arts skills. If such a person wanted to deliberately cover up and kill people with his left hand, it seems not impossible."
Lan'er and Xing'er had just been scolded again, and when their eyes were filled with tears, they couldn't help but tremble like chaff when they heard Jiang Wu pronounce their names. Xing'er cried: "Miss Jiang, even though I was a slave last night,
I didn’t see you entering our lady’s room, but last night, I did see a girl wearing crimson clothes around the room.”
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Are you telling the truth?"
Xing'er said nothing and immediately kowtowed: "I will never tell lies. I got up at midnight last night and vaguely saw a person standing in the corridor. He was wearing crimson clothes, without an umbrella, and it was in the rain.
, I thought it was a dream last night... I didn’t expect that this morning... "
The reason why Xing'er was convinced that Jiang Wu committed the murder was that Jiang Wu happened to be wearing a crimson dress.
Jiang Wu noticed that her wording had changed again. At first, she was sure that the person must be Jiang Wu, but then she changed her mind and said it was a woman wearing crimson clothes. Now she simply changed to a person wearing crimson clothes.
Even the prefix "woman" has been removed.
Although Jiang Wu understood that maids were afraid that they would be implicated if their master died, it was really annoying for people like Xing'er to retort over and over again.
She said sternly: "Speak clearly once and for all. Was the person you saw last night a person, or are you certain that the person must be a woman? Think about it carefully. The person who died was your master!"
Xing'er was startled by her words, and her body trembled again. After a long time, there were tears in her eyes, and then she said slowly: "Slave... I really can't see clearly... how can a man wear a
