Chapter 17 The accumulation of clues
Yun Xi said innocently: "The contents of Qian Feng's stomach. It took a lot of effort for me to get out just this little bit..."
"Stop talking! Ugh!" Magistrate Song had great righteousness and Ling Ran just now, but now he felt so regretful and embarrassed.
How careless! How could he forget that Yun Xi is a coward who knows how to perform a caesarean section and perform an autopsy!
"Pfft!" Leng Hai burst out laughing uncontrollably, and even his usually serious brother Leng Chuan turned his head and kept shaking his shoulders.
Lu Qingfan coughed lightly with a smile on his lips, his eyes warning the Leng brothers not to go too far.
Xiao Qingguo smiled so hard that he didn't continue to eat it, so as not to make Magistrate Song who was nauseated even more uncomfortable.
Yun Xi sighed resignedly, "Then let's talk about it later?"
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, please take your time." Magistrate Song took a few sips of tea, and then he seemed to have mentally prepared himself, and nodded to indicate that Yun Xi could continue.
Yun Xi looked at Lu Qingfan and continued after receiving his approval: "Qian Feng is from the north. He likes pasta. He has a lot of visceral fat in his belly and has no hidden dangers in his stomach. Although he has a good drinking capacity, he rarely gets drunk."
Magistrate Song's eyes widened, and he secretly marveled at how good this little girl Yun Xi's autopsy skills were!
He and Mr. Lu just went to the restaurant where the deceased ate and asked again. The waiter in the restaurant also said the same thing: Qian Feng had a very good drinker and was rarely helped out by Zhang Ye. On the contrary, Wu Tai, who drank with him, often
Drunk to the point of unconsciousness.
"Wu Tai is just the opposite. He has lived in the Jiangnan area since he was a child. His diet, body shape, bones, thick blood, and prone to stomachache are all typical characteristics of southerners. I have confirmed this with Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Wu."
In addition, Qian Feng's left arm was dislocated and he had suffered many hidden injuries, as if he had been captured. Wu Tai was prone to sprained feet, and drinking alcohol would cause numbness in his feet. This was why Zhang Ye often helped Wu Tai return home.
"After discovering these details, it will not be difficult to deduce the identity of the two people."
The prefect of Song Dynasty admired Yun Xi more and more. He felt that it would be wonderful if such a talent could be kept in Lingshui City. He stroked his beard and praised: "My daughter's autopsy is indeed much more careful than the man's. Our widower is worse than you."
Far away!"
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Yun Xi said humbly: "I am an outsider and know nothing about the deceased, so I checked more carefully. Only the magistrate's Yamen official who is familiar with the deceased will blind his sight."
The little girl really knows how to talk.
The prefect of the Song Dynasty admired Yun Xi even more, "How much money can Yun Zuozuo charge per month in Qingzhou? Lingshui City is willing to charge double..."
Suddenly, Magistrate Song's forehead felt cold. He froze up and looked at the source of the cold air: Mr. Lu's dark eyes were as sharp as a cold knife, which made his heart feel cold.
Magistrate Song immediately looked at his nose and heart. He neither dared to look at Mr. Lu nor mentioned leaving Yun Wu Zuo.
Lu Qingfan snorted coldly, how could he still not know what Song Zhifu wanted when he coveted talents? Everyone has a love for talents, and he didn't also...
"Let's talk about the case," Lu Qingfan coughed lightly and brought back his wandering thoughts.
The basis for identifying the deceased has been explained clearly, and now comes the highlight of this episode.
Magistrate Song hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "Is it time to get to the point now?"
Yun Xi proved with facts that the analysis just now was just an appetizer.
"According to the time when the body was discovered by the government, Qian Feng died of neck slit seven hours ago, and Wu Tai died about two hours later than Qian Feng."
Although the two deceased persons were discovered three days apart, their deaths were less than two hours apart.
The two corpses had been sealed in ice coffins for several days, and the degree of decomposition was different. However, there was not much difference in the spots on the corpses after the vital signs disappeared, and the digestion conditions in the stomachs of the two corpses.
Wrapped in parchment were the undigested food residues in the stomachs of the two deceased men, which was consistent with the menu provided by the waiter in the restaurant.
This shows that the two men were killed not long after they left the restaurant.
Yun Xi took out a piece of paper with a big saw drawn on it: "The murder weapon was a saw-toothed iron saw. There were no wounds from the struggle before the two died. In other words, they were beaten while they were alive and had no resistance.
He died after his neck was sawed off. When the head was separated, the heart was still beating and the eyes could still see..."
Yun Xi's words made everyone in the room look increasingly complicated.
The murderer had considerable resentment towards the two deceased men, so he wanted them to watch their heads being separated until blood and water splattered, unwilling to die.
"After the two men died, the murderer exchanged Qian Feng's and Wu Tai's clothes to confuse their identities, hid their heads, and dumped their bodies separately. This should be to delay the discovery of the bodies by the authorities."
"These two hours are enough for the murderer to kill Qian Feng first and then Wu Tai." Lu Qingfan said coldly: "The murderer is very clever!"
Whether it was changing the clothes of the deceased or hiding the head, it was all to confuse the time of death of the two people and delay the government's search for the person and head.
"But," Yun Xi tapped her chin, "Qian Feng and Wu Tai are both famous people in Lingshui City, and it is only a matter of time before their identities are discovered. I don't understand why the murderer insists on doing this."
Unless the criminal has a reason to do so.
"Another strange thing is that both of them drank wine before they died. The wine was very strange, highly concentrated and intoxicating."
"The restaurant owner doesn't know where he got those two jars of wine from." A guess suddenly came to Song Zhifu's mind: "Yun Zuozuo means..."
"Yes, the murderer was probably planning to murder." Yun Xi nodded and said the second half of what Magistrate Song wanted to say.
"What if our guess is wrong?" Leng Hai, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
Lu Qingfan said with great interest: "Tell me more."
"Two adults, think about it. Whether the murderer let the deceased die alive or cut off his head after death, he had the intention of venting his anger. So after he cut off the heads of Qian Feng and Wu Tai, could it be that he wanted to hide them?
Are you delaying time just to vent your anger on your enemies?"
This inference may seem unexpected, but in fact it is reasonable.
To say that they hate money the most, the Wu family...
Lu Qingfan was reminded by Leng Hai and stood up suddenly: "Maybe I know where my head is."
"Where?" Magistrate Song also stood up immediately.
Lu Qingfan raised his thin lips and showed a smile: "Prefect Song, please come with me."
Yun Xi and Qing Guo packed up the evidence on the ground and handed it over to the Yamen. Then they got on the carriage and followed Lu Qingfan to find the head of the deceased.
On the way, Magistrate Song couldn't help but lament that the case had made more progress this day than they had in the previous seven days, and clues were emerging one after another.
"Thanks to Mr. Lu and Yun Zuo, we should be able to clear the fog soon." Magistrate Song couldn't hide his excitement, wishing that the carriage could go faster.
He has been working on this case personally, but he is afraid that he will not be able to close the case as soon as possible and report it to the capital.
Lu Qingfan was not so optimistic, "Let's look for it first." He might not be able to successfully find the two heads as he guessed.
"By the way, Miss Yun, you haven't told me the description of the murderer yet!" Leng Hai approached with a gossipy look on his face: "Do you have any clues?"
Although the bodies of the two Wus are important to the search for money, the final solution to the case still lies in catching the culprit.
Magistrate Song was shocked when he heard this, "Yun Wuzuo still has the ability to deduce the appearance of the murderer?"
Chapter completed!
