Early this morning, Beizhen Fusi received a report. However, this report was a bit strange, and the person who came was hesitant to explain clearly. Fu Heng was not here today. In order to facilitate the autopsy, Zhou Xianen took Jiang Wu directly to the crime scene.
.
The scene of the crime was in a small wooden house in a mountain village. The body was discovered by a hunter who was cutting firewood. The hunter found the door open. When he went in, he found a man dead inside. The death was extremely miserable.
When Jiang Wu went there, Orion was still there, surrounded by a circle of guards in royal robes. The Orion looked to be about fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples, and some stuttering when he spoke. He was talking to everyone with snot and tears.
"Talking about his difficulties.
"Master Guan, it's not that I'm unwilling to cooperate, it's just that this fact is really unlucky. You don't think the corpse is scary, but I'm afraid I'll have to burn incense for three days just by looking at it."
Jiang Wu did not rush into the house to examine the body, but asked Orion: "When did you find the body?"
Orion looked at Jiang Wu suspiciously, then turned to look at Jin Yiwei, "Is this one of yours too?"
Although Jiang Wu was a widower, because she seemed to have a very close relationship with Fu Heng, no one in Beizhen Fusi dared to neglect her. Qianhu clasped his fist at her and said, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Wu nodded. The hunter saw that although Jiang Wu was a girl, she also had a sense of confidence in her words. Then she recalled, "The villain came out at Mao hour. Not long after he came out, he came across a wooden house. He wanted to go in and rest.
I took a rest, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I came in, there was a corpse lying on the bed..."
Mao hour is after sunrise. According to modern time calculation, it is the period from 5 to 7 am. It is very reasonable for hunters to go hunting in the mountains early in the morning. When they are tired, they rest in a wooden house in the mountains. There are usually many such small houses in the mountains and forests.
Wooden houses are used for those who often walk in the mountains and forests to rest.
Jiang Wu guessed the time. It was now Si Shi, and it might have snowed a bit yesterday.
She stared at the footprints on the ground and asked Qianhu, who came before them: "How many of you have entered the room to inspect the body?"
Several thousand households looked at each other, and finally one person stood up and said: "We have all gone in, but we followed the girl's instructions last time and did not go in again after inspecting the body, nor did we touch anything in the house."
Jiang Wu nodded. She once told these thousands of households that if they encounter a corpse, no matter when or where it is, don't rush to move and inspect the corpse. You must first surround the scene and collect important evidence.
Make a mark and make next steps.
Because in many cases, the first scene where the body is found is the most important. If the first scene is destroyed, many clues will be lost.
Jiang Wu looked at the footprints on the ground and counted their number, thinking that the temperature in the mountains was generally two to three degrees lower than on land, and it snowed last night. According to what thousands of households said, it was only
Went in once.
The footprints on the ground can also tell something wrong. At least four people have entered the hut at the scene, and they are all men. The footprints are back and forth, and there are no redundant ones.
Jiang Wu sighed lightly. He thought there would be more clues about the footprints in the snow, but he didn't expect that he couldn't see anything.
At this time, Zhou Xianen said: "Why don't we go in first and see the body."
Jiang Wu said yes, and the two entered the cabin.
The most eye-catching thing in the room is undoubtedly the corpse, which is lying on its back with a large dark red blood stain on the quilt. In addition, there are some splatter-type blood stains on the walls and ceiling;
There was a slightly dirty teapot, and next to the teapot was a cup. There seemed to be a faint smell of alcohol in the room.
There isn't even a bench in this room.
The hunter followed behind and said: "This wooden house is not private property. It was built by someone a long time ago. It is specially used by hunters like us. It is not safe in the mountains and forests at night, so we can rest here for a night."
Jiang Wu was noncommittal and walked over to the corpse to inspect it. Even she couldn't help but be shocked at first glance. The corpse's eyes had been directly dug out. There were only two bloody holes in the eye sockets. The fatal injury was very obvious on the neck.
, the murderer cut the deceased's neck with a knife. The cut was so deep that the protruding bones and trachea could even be seen.
Jiang Wu opened the quilt and began to read.
"Examination - The deceased was a male, about thirty to thirty-five years old. The cause of death was slitting the throat with a sharp weapon. The deceased's eyes should have been gouged out after death. There were no signs of struggle on his hands and limbs. The deceased may not have been conscious at the time of death.
It’s not clear. Judging from the smell of alcohol at the scene, he may have been drunk and unable to resist. As for the time of death, it is initially judged to be midnight last night.”
After Jiang Wu finished speaking, he walked around the room. The door latch was broken and there was no place to lock it.
Zhou Xian'en said: "Since the murderer would gouge out the eyes of the deceased, he might have some special hobby."
Jiang Wu nodded, but still felt that something was wrong with this room.
"You guys go out first and I'll test it out."
Zhou Xianen was stunned for a moment: "What is the test?"
"I feel like something has been missed..." Jiang Wu frowned and paced around the room. Zhou Xianen always obeyed her wishes and went out quickly. Jiang Wu closed the door and walked into the room, but felt something behind her.
It was so cold that when I looked back, I realized that the door to this room actually couldn't be closed.
Doors with broken bolts often cannot be closed tightly at all, and the wind and snow are heavy this winter, so most people will want to find something to hold the door shut.
Jiang Wu walked around the scene and found no stones or sticks anywhere.
Not only that, this hut gives people an overly clean feeling. In Jiang Wu's impression, this kind of wooden huts only built in the mountains and forests are generally messy, because everyone only lives there temporarily, and most of them don't know how to clean it.
Clean this place more carefully. The area around the house will probably be dirty because no one is weeding it.
But it's different here. There are no other houses within a two-mile radius of the hut, and the corners around the hut are very clean and free of weeds. Although the door latch is broken and there are spider webs on the walls, there is actually something in the teapot on the table.
water.
Someone also drank from the cup next to the teapot, and there was still one-third of the water at the bottom of the cup.
How should I put it, just...if it doesn't look like a temporary residence, this place is too remote, and there are many stains on the sheets and bedding. But if it is a temporary residence, the deceased is not familiar with it.
Do you dare to pick up the water on the table and drink it directly?
She went out and asked the hunters: "Are you sure this house was built here for the hunters to live in?"
Orion replied: "Of course I am sure, the villain has stayed here for several nights before."
He rubbed his hands and looked a little anxious: "Master Guan has a lot, can you let me go back first? My mother-in-law should be worried."
Jiang Wu looked at him, and when he was thinking about the credibility of his words, his eyes suddenly saw a little light yellow hay in one of the footprints on the snow.
"Where do you live?" she asked.
"The villain lives next to Linxian County and comes here from Linxian County to hunt here every day."
