Ye Caitang took the toolbox with him and followed Liu Sha out. Xia Yue and Wang Tong were already at the door.

The person who came to report the incident was neighbor Guo Zhao. He said he seemed to hear a cry for help coming from the yard next door. He was afraid that something had happened, so he hurried over to take a look.

After he rushed over, he couldn't push the door open. The courtyard door was bolted from the inside.

This was strange. He looked through the crack in the door and saw his neighbor Zhang Shuyue lying in the courtyard covered in blood.

"I hurriedly came to report the crime." Guo Zhao said: "The door is very strong. I bumped it several times, but it didn't open."

Why did you come to Six Doors to report the crime? Because Six Doors are close to each other.

Finally, there is no need to run around here and there anymore. Zhang Shuyue's house is in the alley behind the six doors, so you can reach it just a few steps away.

While listening to Guo Zhao describing the situation at that time, everyone had already arrived at the door of Zhang's house.

A faint smell of blood came out from inside.

The door was indeed bolted from the inside, and the situation was the same as Guo Zhao said.

Xia Yue ordered: "Open the door."

Liu Sha kicked the door open with one kick.

Ye Caitang didn't want to say anything anymore.

Just a few steps away from the inner door, there was indeed a man lying down, and everyone walked over quickly.

Ye Caitang knelt down to check, looked at Xia Yue and shook his head.

Already dead.

The deceased had several stab wounds on his chest and abdomen. The sharp blade had pierced his organs, and he died of excessive blood loss.

Judging from the wounds and the amount of blood loss, even if Guo Zhao did not report the crime as soon as he heard the call for help, but instead climbed over the wall or kicked in the door to save people, it would still be too late.

A trace of blood stretched from behind the deceased into the room. Liu Sha walked in and shouted: "Sir, there is another one here."

Everyone hurriedly ran over.

This is the bedroom of the Zhang family. A middle-aged woman is lying prone in the room. There is a lot of blood on the ground.

"This one is also dead." Ye Caitang checked: "Like the deceased just now, he had many stab wounds in the chest and abdomen. The cause of their death was the same..."

There are many knives, which proves that the murderer is not an expert in killing. The killer will not chop people randomly. He chops so many knives because he is afraid that the other party's voice will be too low, or he is afraid that no clues will be left.

Xia Yue looked at the blood on the wall.

It was a splatter of blood, from the ground to the point where he was shot.

"This should be the first scene where two people were harmed together." Xia Yue said: "The two deceased were killed here. One died on the spot, and the other was seriously injured and struggled to crawl out for help, but in the end he was exhausted.

, died in the yard.”

So a long trail of blood was left.

Wang Tong said: "Sir, I found a knife in the yard."

A bloody single-edged long knife.

Xia Yue took it in his hand, looked at it, and handed it to Ye Caitang.

Ye Caitang compared the wound: "It's very strange."

"What's wrong?"

"This knife is consistent with the wound of the female deceased, but not consistent with the wound of the male deceased. The wound of the male deceased is short and wide, it should be a shorter knife with a wider blade."

Ye Caitang paused: "Moreover, the characteristics of the wounds of the two are also different. One is deeper and the other is shallower."

"The wounds on the female deceased were deeper, while the wounds on the male deceased were shallower, so he could struggle to crawl out and seek help."

Xia Yue frowned and said, "There are two murderers?"

Hard to say.

"It is possible that one is stronger and the other is weaker, so the wounds left are different." Ye Caitang said: "But there is indeed only one footprint at the scene."

Because there were dots of blood all over the floor, the footprints on it were particularly obvious.

In addition to the two deceased people, the footprints of a third person came in from the outside, opened the cabinets and boxes in the room, rummaged inside, and dug out everything inside.

Wang Tong said: "I didn't even look at the gold and silver. I don't know if it's not there or if it was rummaged away."

So early in the morning, so close to six doors, he broke into a house, robbed and killed someone, and committed a crime in a gang. This must be too bold.

Xia Yue asked Guo Zhao, who came to report the crime: "Do you know what the two deceased people do?"

Guo Zhaodao: "The stall owner sells some gadgets. The couple has been married for several years and has no children yet."

The neighbors really know a lot.

Xia Yue said: "How is the relationship between the couple? Are there any conflicts in daily life? Do they have any friends or relatives who seem to be shady?"

Guo Zhao thought about it carefully: "I don't know. They are both quite introverted. They don't like to socialize with others, and they haven't seen many relatives or friends come to their door."

After a pause, he added: "But I go out early in the morning every day, and I'm not always at home. I didn't hear the sound until I came back from outside today. I don't know what happened before."

This is one courtyard after another, the Zhang family is the last one, and Guo Zhao is next to it. If no one in the Zhang family hears it, the other family in the next courtyard may not hear it at all.

Xia Yue asked Guo Zhao to lift his feet and look at the soles of his shoes, and then at his nails and hair.

Guo Zhao complied with the instructions in confusion, and then said with horror: "Sir, you don't suspect that I am the murderer, do you?"

Guo Zhao shook his head repeatedly: "I really heard the sound and hurried to report the crime. I didn't even enter this yard."

Xia Yue nodded.

The time of death of the deceased was within this half hour, and the body was still warm.

There was no blood on the soles of Guo Zhao's shoes, no blood on his nails, and no blood on his hair.

You can change shoes and clothes in such a short period of time, but it is very difficult to clean hair and nails unless you are prepared from the beginning and wrap yourself up tightly.

But if this was the case, there was really no need for him to report the crime and let Zhang Shuyue's death scene be discovered so quickly.

He lives in a room at the end of the alley and doesn't like to interact with others. If Guo Chao hadn't reported the case, no one would have discovered that Zhang Shuyue and his wife were murdered for ten days and a half.

In the end, I'm afraid it was because of the hot weather that the corpse started to rot and stink, so someone started looking for the cause of the stink. How long would it take?

That way Guo Chao would have enough time to destroy all the evidence without leaving any trace.

We can only do a general inspection of the body here, and we will have to transport it back for detailed inspection.

Ye Caitang stood up, followed Xia Yue, and followed the line of footprints in the house.

"It's really strange, why is there only one line of footprints?" Ye Caitang watched as the footprints clearly reached outside the house, then all the way to the wall and disappeared over the courtyard wall.

There is a piece of wasteland over there, and beyond that is a bustling city with people coming and going. The murderer only needs to take off his bloody clothes and walk down the street without leaving any trace.
