"And there was only one murder weapon, and there was another murder weapon that was taken away by the murderer." Xia Yue raised his legs and climbed up the wall. He stood on the top of the wall and looked over there, then came down again.

Ye Caitang really envied people who could fly over eaves and walk over walls. She could only look up from below. Her eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Xia Yue shook his head.

He said there was no way to check it there.

"Generally speaking, homicide cases are divided into vendetta, love murder, and robbery." Ye Caitang said: "Sir, if you look at it on the spot, it is a typical robbery and murder case."

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, I didn't know how much money was taken, but I couldn't find even a tael of silver in the Zhang family's house.

"From the scene, it is indeed a robbery and murder." Xia Yue said: "But look at the furnishings in the Zhang family's house, the clothes worn by the couple, how much money can the stall owner earn? How much money can he save? The murderer committed robbery and murder.

But choosing such a family and killing two lives is not worth it."

It's not worth it, it's very not worth it, but the murderer may not know it before rummaging through the boxes.

"Sir," Ye Caitang said: "Not every murderer can judge how much money the deceased had by relying on the furnishings in the room and the clothes of the deceased."

Xia Yue thought about it: "That makes sense."

The entire house was searched. No other results were found, and the two corpses were transported back to the six doors and into the morgue.

There was no need for a second inspection of Zhang Shuyue's body for the time being. The cause of death was simple, crude and obvious. Ye Caitang focused on examining the wounds of Zhang Shuyue's wife, Yue Shi, and modified the drawing of a knife.

Ye Caitang showed the painting to Xia Yue: "Look, sir, this is the shape and size of the knife that I guessed based on the shape and depth of the wound. I can't say it's definitely correct, but it won't be too far off."

However, this knife didn't have any special features. Xia Yue looked at it and felt it was a bit familiar.

"This knife seems to be common." Xia Yue passed the painting to everyone. One person read it and passed it on to the next. When he passed it to the last person, he was sitting at the door.

Aunt Lin passed by and took a look.

"This is a knife in the kitchen." Aunt Lin shocked the dreamer: "You use a knife like this to pick meat and cut bones."

As she said that, Aunt Lin went to the kitchen and brought out a similar knife.

Ye Caitang compared it, it was really true.

"The wounds on the dead man's body were caused by a similar knife." Ye Caitang said: "Aunt Lin, is this knife found in every kitchen?"

"I can't say they are all available, but most of them." Aunt Lin thought about it: "It's very practical after all."

Most of them do, so the clue of the murder weapon is meaningless.

Maybe the murderer just took it from the kitchen at home, took it away again, washed away the blood stains and put it back in the kitchen at home.

It is invisible to the gods and will not leave any traces.

Another murder weapon was also brought back to Six Doors, which was a single-edged long knife that fell in the yard. It is said that it is a long knife, but it is only compared to a dagger, but this knife is indeed uncommon.

"This knife is not practical. Is it suitable for general household use?" Ye Caitang picked it up with his hand. Not to mention it was quite heavy.

"It's no use." Xia Yue said, "Liu Sha, go and check and find out where this kind of knife is usually used."

Although it looks fancy, the workmanship is quite rough. It should have been forged by a master in a small blacksmith shop.

Liu Sha took the knife and went.

"Wang Tong, go check to see if the deceased had any enmity with anyone recently."

Small businessmen and hawkers will also make enemies. If they are seeking revenge, murder may be the main thing. They rummage through boxes and cabinets to find money. Firstly, they can make some money on the way, and secondly, they can cover up the true motive of the murder.

Ye Cai looked over and over at the deceased's wounds and said, "Sir, I think you are right. Judging from the wounds, it looks more like a vendetta, the kind of killing with the intention of venting anger."

"Why?"

"Because the wounds are really messy, both of them."

"The male deceased, Zhang Shuyue, had a total of nine stabs on his body, seven of which were shallow and two of which were deep, one of which was fatal."

"The female deceased, Yue Shi, was stabbed seven times in total, three of which were shallow and four of which were deep, causing damage to multiple organs in the body, so she died in a short period of time without any room for struggle."

"If it was a vendetta, and the deceased was tortured for revenge, that would make sense. But if it was a home invasion and the murder was discovered and the murder was silenced, the killing method would be too brutal."

This was Ye Caitang's first thought when he first entered the scene. After a detailed inspection of the wound, he was even more certain of this.

Xia Yue nodded: "Let's start with the relationship between the deceased. Vendetta is much easier to investigate than robbery."

The murderer of the robbery and murder was random. Maybe this person left immediately last night. He was as far away as the sky and the emperor. He might have left the city by now.

But the vendetta must be someone you know. In order to cover up his crime, this person will definitely pretend to be calm and continue his original life trajectory.

Or he may have gone away, but the people around the deceased suddenly left after the incident, which in itself is a clue.

"First investigate the case as a vendetta." Xia Yue concluded the case: "In addition to Zhang Shuyue, the Yue family's natal family will also investigate whoever they interact with on weekdays and what their reputation is."

Vendetta and murder are intertwined with each other. Even robbery and murder are the same. Many times the murderer has a single purpose at the beginning, but after arriving at the scene, he will do something else.

There have even been cases where multiple murderers appeared in the same order without knowing each other, hurting people, killing people, and robbing property, causing the evidence to be confusing and complicated.

So Ye Caitang followed Xia Yue to investigate the Yue family.

On the way there, Ye Caitang was still thinking about a puzzling question.

"It's very strange." Ye Caitang said: "Sir, why do you think there are two murderers but only one pair of shoe prints? Could it be that one was carrying the other on his back?"

What does this mean?

"There is another possibility." Xia Yue said: "In fact, there is only one murderer, but he is a man who can shoot the bow left and right. He holds two knives. The left hand is stronger and the right hand is weaker, which creates the illusion of two murderers.

.”

"Is this okay?"

Ye Caitang has never thought that a murderer uses two methods to kill people. Even if this person can use his left and right hands at the same time, he will kill one and then kill the second one. How can it be done at the same time?

Besides, the victim was not tied up and would not stand in a position waiting for the murderer to stab him.

"Why not?" Xia Yue said, "You are not a murderer."

Ye Caitang had nothing to say in reply.

"There are many possibilities." Xia Yue said: "What you said about one carrying the other on his back is one. It is even possible that one of the two deceased is the murderer. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, and one of the deceased kills
