If Ye Caitang's calmness in examining the slightly swollen corpse was surprising, when she faced the head of the charred corpse, one had to admit her calmness.

A tiger father has no dog sons. Ye Ming was known as the number one author in the capital at that time, and it was indeed a well-deserved reputation.

His daughter is also amazing.

Ye Caitang used gloves to examine the corpse's oral and nasal cavities, then grabbed the corpse's arms and looked at his fingernails.

"This man was beaten to death first, and then his body was burned." Ye Caitang said: "Actually, most of the people who were burned to death were choked to death because of inhaling smoke and dust. I just went to see the Earth Temple. There was a lot of soil, dry and dry.

Ye, if he had been choked to death, there would have been soot deposits in his mouth and nose, but he didn't."

"Also, his nails are relatively clean. If he was burned to death, he would be scratching around in great pain when he died. There would be dirt in the nails, and they would break, and the fingers would be worn out."

As Ye Caitang spoke, he looked at the dark head in her hand and suddenly let out a sigh.

She turned the black head over and reached out to press the back of her head.

Everyone gathered around.

"The fatal injury is here." Bai Yue said: "Look, there is a depression here on the occipital bone."

Although the skin and flesh were burnt, the hair was also burned off. When Bai Yue held it just now, he felt a dent in his hand. A closer look revealed that it was indeed a dent caused by external force.

A dent was made in the occipital bone, and there were slight cracks around it. The force at this moment was not small, and it could kill someone.

"Look at the wound, it was hit by something hard and angular, probably a stone." Ye Caitang raised his head and said, "Look around here to see if you can find the murder weapon."

As soon as the detectives heard this, they immediately scattered to look for him.

Although we figured out how the deceased died, we were still not sure whether he was Ding Lang or not.

Ye Caitang pondered: "Actually, if you are very familiar with these parts of the hands, feet and body, you should be able to tell something. But Ding Lang's wife and parents are in other places. Whether it is to pick them up or send the body, this season

I’m afraid it won’t work.”

There is no ice coffin or freezer, and it will stink when people come. It is really hard to store it.

"Boss Li, come here." Xia Yue suddenly said.

Boss Li is the owner of the gambling house. After seeing the corpse, he did not dare to leave and squatted beside Yuan Weimao. However, he also disliked Yuan Weimao and did not squat with him.

As soon as he heard Xia Yue's shout, Boss Li came running over.

Xia Yue said: "How long have you been pursuing Ding Lang's gambling debt?"

Boss Li was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes, it's been about ten days."

Xia Yue nodded: "Let's do it."

The boss who asked this question didn't know how to answer.

"Don't worry, I won't pursue this." Xia Yue said: "What we are investigating now is a murder case. Unless the person was killed by you, otherwise, I will not pursue other matters."

The boss of the gambling house breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Xia Yue was from Liumen, and Liumen was responsible for major and serious cases. The small things that happened in their gambling house, unless they happened to offend Xia Yue.

, otherwise, Xia Yue would really not pay attention.

Boss Li tried to smooth things over for himself and said: "It's like this. At the beginning, we all told him nicely, but not only did he not pay back the money, but he also went to find girls and ate and drank. So what can we do, right?

Sir, repaying debts is a matter of course, isn't it..."

Xia Yue listened impatiently to his ramble and interrupted: "Fight or not?"

Boss Li shrank his neck: "Hit."

"How did you fight? When was the last time?"

"That's it, that's it..." Boss Li made a few punching and kicking gestures, and then thought for a moment: "The past few days, the past, the past three days, yes... the past three days..."

Ye Caitang looked at the corpse and listened to the conversation between Boss Li and Xia Yue. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind and he understood what Xia Yue meant.

She rolled up both sides of the corpse's trousers and examined his legs carefully.

"Sir." Ye Caitang said: "There are no old scars left on the corpse's legs in the past few days. He is not Ding Lang."

According to the boss's description, if he was punched or kicked like that, there would definitely be a lot of bruises and bruises on Ding Lang's legs, calves and thighs, which cannot be completely eliminated in a day or two.

The gambling house owner suddenly realized that this was what Xia Yue meant when he asked this question.

"The corpse is not Ding Lang, but it is wearing Ding Lang's clothes, making people think it is Ding Lang." Xia Yue said: "Since Ding Lang is not the victim, then it is very likely that he is the murderer."

"This is strange."

Wang Tong put forward his own opinion again: "Could it be that he really found the treasure?"

Whether he owed one hundred taels of silver to the gambling house or took fifty taels of silver from He Ningqiu, it was definitely not worth Ding Lang's committing murder and faking death to escape.

Although the Ding Lang family is not a very wealthy family, they still have a certain amount of wealth to consider settling in the capital. It's just a hundred taels of silver. The reason why the family hasn't given it to them recently is because he asks for it too frequently and is afraid that he will spend it arbitrarily.

It's really hard to get it out even if it's life-threatening.

But finding the treasure really didn't convince everyone. There were so many treasures, and it was such a coincidence that Ding Lang found them at this time.

Xia Yue said: "There is no need to be suspicious. As long as we find Ding Lang, we will know everything."

At this time, someone found a bloody stone not far from the Earth Temple. He quickly took it over.

Ye Caitang took the stone and compared it. Sure enough, it matched the scars on the back of the charred corpse's head.

"This is the murder weapon." Ye Caitang said.

It was noon now, and it was a little hot in the forest. The few detectives were looking for it for a long time, and they were all covered in sweat.

Some people couldn't help but ask: "Sir, since we already know that this man was beaten to death, why are we still looking for the murder weapon? What does finding the murder weapon prove?"

Xia Yue said: "Of course it can prove something."

So everyone was waiting for Xia Yue to say, but unexpectedly he just said this and stopped.

Then Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang: "Xiaoye, tell me."

Ye Caitang didn't expect to be called upon here again, and he immediately felt like he was back in the examination room.

But these are nothing to her. Although forensic doctors are not responsible for investigating cases, who has not participated in several cases. Their relationship with the Criminal Police Brigade's Crime Division is as close as brothers and sisters.

But since Xia Yue asked, she had to tell.

"You found a stone with blood on it, and you know that the murder weapon was this stone. What if the murder weapon was something else? Sometimes, the murderer's occupation, habits, and identity can be inferred from the murder weapon."

Xia Yue nodded with satisfaction: "What else?"

"There is also this stone." Ye Caitang said: "The murder weapon is a stone, which is everywhere here. This can prove that the murderer may not have premeditated the murder, but committed the crime passionately. Otherwise, he would have prepared something more convenient for himself.
