The two of them had decided to go to the scene and have a look.
Because this case is so wonderful, Jin Long and Yin Hu also wanted to see it. Unexpectedly, both Yin Jian and Bu Huishu agreed to go, and they were overjoyed.
When we arrived at the scene, insects were flying everywhere, swallows were flying back and forth, and there were other birds singing happily in the fields.
The trees are lush and green, containing a murderous aura.
The thick colors and ink in the ditch make people shudder.
Curious people heard that high-ranking officials from the capital wanted to inspect the scene in person, so they all came to watch. Li Zheng, land security guards, and county government officials came to the scene to maintain order.
Fortunately, it was well protected and there were always people on site to protect it, so there was no further damage done by humans.
Yin Jian and Bu Huishu came to the ditch and looked at the footprints. Indeed, they were big footprints and small footprints. The big footprints belonged to Guo Jia. Although he was short and fat, his feet were not small. The small footprints belonged to Guo Jia.
This is amazing. What kind of shape is this? It’s quite unique!
Yin Jian looked at the situation and thought to himself, it's really hard to explain. They are the footprints of two people. One died inexplicably, and the other was arrested inexplicably.
Divination Huishu saw that Yin Jian had run out of ideas. Yin Jian didn't ask, Divination Huishu couldn't tell, and he didn't want to overwhelm the guest. Besides, it would be boring to reveal it now, and many people wouldn't believe it.
"Brother Xian, what do you think? How to solve this case?" Yin Jian asked.
"Sir, what did you see?" Bu Huishu asked.
"What Brother Yu saw was a simple scene. There were only two people present here. Obviously, Jia Guo was the most suspected. However, Jia Guo was the most suspected, but he was not necessarily the real murderer. The deceased Guo Jia
It was a strange death. How could he be killed with one knife? Just one blow killed him. The incision was relatively neat, and it looked like it was done by a professional doctor. Besides, where can there be a doctor who specializes in surgery in this wilderness?"
Yin Jian said.
"So, what are the tools used to commit the crime?" Bu Huishu asked.
"It's a sickle, yes, it's that big sickle. I don't know who it belongs to. I need to ask," Yin Jian said.
"Okay, this is the key. Finding who is directing the operation is the most important." Bu Huishu said.
"Li Zheng, land security guard!"
"The villain is here!" they both said in unison.
"Whose sickle is it?" Yin Jian asked.
"This scythe is sharp and big. With one cut, you can harvest a lot. I really don't know who the scythe belongs to. You can ask Wang Yuanwai. Because it was hired by Wang Yuanwai, the employer should provide the tools."
Di Bao said.
"Go and call Yuan Wang." Yin Jian ordered.
"Here, come, little one is here, little one is here." A voice called out urgently.
Wang Yuanwai was afraid of getting into trouble, so he stayed in the crowd at the scene to see how the Dali Temple minister from the capital solved the case. When his name was mentioned, he immediately responded.
He knows very well that if you are not active, you are passive, and you will be punished if you are passive.
"Tell me, who owns this scythe?" Yin Jian asked.
"It's mine, oh, no, it's Guo Jia's." Wang Yuanwai replied.
"Whose is it? Sometimes it's yours, and sometimes it's Guo Jia's." Yin Jian asked.
"Oh, it's like this, sir, this sickle is mine. Later Guo Jia bought it. In addition to working for the younger ones, he also worked for other people. He is used to using this big sickle, but he is not used to it.
He wanted to buy someone else's sickle, so the younger one sold him the sickle. He was relatively honest and worked hard, so the younger one sold the sickle to him. He kept it more carefully and maintained it regularly, so that the sickle would become more useful.
In a very sharp state, the purpose is to tell the work to be done at any time, so that he can hold the scythe to do things at any time. The scythe he kept has improved his work efficiency a lot. He had only been happy for a few days when he encountered this
It's just a small matter of misfortune!" Wang Yuan said.
"I see. So, is this sickle definitely the deceased Guo Jia's?" Yin Jian asked.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Okay! Now the owner of the sickle has been determined." Yin Jian said.
He looked at the scythe carefully and saw clear blood stains on the scythe, clear footprints, and neat wounds. The scythe shone with a cold light, which was frightening. At a glance, it looked like a beast that was devouring people.
There were no signs of fighting on the entire scene. The surrounding grass and short shrubs were all neat and tidy. If there had been a fight, these would have been damaged. There were no signs of damage to the grass or trees at the scene.
The owner of the sickle is confirmed, is it suicide?
A thought flashed through Yin Jian's mind. No, no, no, this is not true. If Guo Jia wanted to commit suicide, he would not die here. He knew that this is a crop field. There are people coming and going, so he would not die here.
Geely. Besides, there is no reason to commit suicide.
Yin Jian himself denied the possibility of Guo Jia's suicide.
"Sir, Guo Jia is an honest man. He only knows how to work and endure to the end. He never complains or talks behind people's backs. He always works all day long. He accepts everything. In our place, his burden is very heavy.
He is so small that he usually doesn’t even dare to kill chickens and ducks. He is a coward that is hard to find within a radius of hundreds of miles, and he is as soft and honest as a sheep." Di Bao said.
"Really, your eyes are really good. You can see clearly. There is something there. Let's see what it is?" Li Zheng said.
Sure enough, there was a toad under Guo Jia. At first glance, it was dead and crushed to pieces. It was so miserable. How did this dead toad die here? It was very strange. Could it have died with Guo Jia?
It's really puzzling. Yin Jian just had an idea that Guo Jia committed suicide. Suddenly the idea disappeared and he denied this guess because Guo Jia had no reason to commit suicide. He didn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could he kill himself?
Obviously, he wanted to live. He didn't want to die at all, but he ended up dying. Could it be that the toad made him die?
Thinking of this, he patted his head and said to Bu Huishu: "Yes, I thought of it. Guo Jia died because of a toad. The key to this case is the dead toad. How did the toad die? Why did the toad die here? It's all worth thinking about.
, if the reason is found, we will also know the cause of Guo Jia’s death.”
"Yes, what the Lord said is absolutely correct. It is exactly in this direction. Just keep thinking about it." Bu Huishu said.
Bu Huishu just doesn't tell the truth. In fact, he already knows the truth. As long as he touches the silver ring, the problem will be solved. He doesn't want Yin Jian to doubt his super power and expose the silver ring prematurely. Who knows what the silver ring is?
Where do you come from? Where do you go? Why is it a book of divination and wisdom?
"Look, there's still blood here!" Yin Jian said.
Sure enough, Yin Jian had good eyesight and saw blood, but the blood was very light and did not look like human blood.
Yin Jian observed carefully and found another snake. It was dead. When he opened the snake, he saw that there was a deep wound on the snake's belly. There was blood around the wound, which looked like snake blood.
A dead toad and a dead snake. Could it be said that one of them must be the murderer? Either the snake killed Guo Jia, or it was the toad.
If you think about it, you will know that neither the toad nor the snake can use the sickle. If they can't use it, they will never kill Guo Jia. Unless the toad and the snake have become spirits, and then they both kill Guo Jia together? This is not the case.
Possible, absolutely impossible. When it comes to becoming a spirit, it’s really hard to say. After becoming a spirit, you kill people. Do you have to go back and continue to practice?
It's not right to make blind guesses here. It was getting late and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Yin Jian ordered the snakes and toads to be brought back to the post.
Guanyi is not far from the scene and can continue to investigate the case. The Zaoyang County magistrate sent a yamen servant to Guanyi to protect Yin Jian and others. Yin Jian declined and said: "I can protect myself, so let the yamen go back and rest!"
What Yin Jian said was not polite.
That night, Yin Jian couldn't sleep all night. He didn't fall asleep until dawn. As soon as he fell asleep, he heard the sound of a dog barking.
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Yin Jian asked.
"It is said that a group of wild boars came and were driven away by dogs." Bu Huishu said.
"That's it! Forget it, this sleep has been ruined. If I can't sleep, I won't sleep." Yin Jian said.
"My dear friend, if you want to sleep, take the time to sleep. Recharging your energy is good for your health," Bu Huishu said.
"How can I sleep? There is indeed something fishy about this case. Or is Brother Yu stupid?" Yin Jian said.
"The key point of this case lies in the toad." Bu Huishu said.
"why would you say so?"
"My dear friend, please see, why is there a wound on the belly of this snake?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Yes! Brother Yu is also surprised. It seems that there is no fight between people. There may be a fight between snakes and toads." Yin Jian said.
"Yes, my dear friend, which one is more powerful, snake or toad?"
"Of course snakes are powerful. Everyone knows that snakes eat toads." Yin Jian said.
"That's right. Then, since snakes can eat toads, why did the toads die outside? And why did they die under Guo Jia?" Bu Huishu asked.
"This is what Brother Yu can't figure out. How could a toad die under Guo Jia if it was eaten by a snake? It should have died in the snake's belly," Yin Jian said.
"Yes, this reasoning is correct." Bu Huishu said.
"Then, there is a possibility that the toad has an accomplice. In other words, there was a fight between the toad and the snake. The snake took advantage of the toad's inattention, attacked or attacked, and swallowed the toad. As a result, the toad became a delicious meal for the snake.
When the snake was about to escape, it met a hero." Yin Jian said.
"Yes, there is something wrong with this reasoning."
"Is it true? Brother Yu is just talking nonsense. Is there really a hero?" Yin Jian asked.
"Really, if there is no hero to save the toad, there will be no subsequent story. Because the toad cannot defeat the snake, and eventually becomes the snake's prey. The hero appears, rescues the toad, and makes the toad come back to life. This hero has the ability to cut open the snake.
A kind of thing in the stomach." Bu Huishu said.
"Oh, Brother Yu understands. In other words, the snake swallowed the toad, but something saved the toad." Yin Jian said.
"Yes, dear friend, you can take a look at the snake's wound." Bu Huishu said.
Yin Jian looked at it carefully and said: "It's strange. The wound is not very smooth. It looks like it was cut with a saw, not a very regular saw."
"Yes, who would cut a saw on a snake's belly?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Definitely not Guo Jia."
"Yes, Guo Jia didn't even dare to kill a chicken. He was afraid of blood and would not provoke a snake. Besides, no saw was found at the scene, right?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Yes, there are only three corpses at the scene, Guo Jia, snake and toad." Yin Jian replied.
"Yes, there should be another one."
"Yes, there is one more. What were we talking about just now?"
"Saw."
"Yes, the saw, who owns the saw?"
"This, this, yes, in nature, only the mantis has a saw. Could it be that the mantis committed the crime?"
"No, Mantis will never kill Guo Jia. Guo Jia's wounds are smooth and obviously caused by a scythe. You can see a bloody sickle at the scene. The scythe is the brightest one," Bu Huishu said.
"Yes, Guo Jia was killed by a sickle."
"Then, if you want to find the praying mantis, you will know the reason." Bu Huishu said.
"Where can I find a praying mantis?"
"Of course we are not looking for a living mantis. The mantis must be dead, but the strange thing is that there is no body of the mantis at the scene."
"Yes, there is none at the scene. Think about it again, where could there be a corpse of a mantis?" Bu Huishu said.
"It should be in the toad's belly." Yin Jian said.
"That's right, let's look carefully and see what's in the toad's belly?" Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, let me look for it." Yin Jian said and began to carefully search for the contents of the toad's belly.
The toad was crushed to pieces by Guo Jia, so it was really hard to find things. However, Yin Jian had rich experience in handling cases. Finding things from people was similar to finding things from toads. He often participated in the autopsy work performed by Guo Jia and was very familiar with these processes.
very familiar.
Sure enough, he found a complete body of a praying mantis inside. It seemed that the toad had eaten the praying mantis and was crushed to death by Guo Jia before it could digest it. Guo Jia was tall, and even if he fell down, he would be crushed to death.
Just a toad is more than enough.
"Haha, I found it. My dear brother is right, there is indeed one." Yin Jian said with a smile.
"My dear friend is more careful," Bu Huishu said.
"Tell me, this toad is really weird. Why does it have to be at odds with the praying mantis?" Yin Jian asked.
"That's a good question! My dear, let's see why there are jagged wounds on the snake's belly?" Bu Huishu asked.
"I understand. You can imagine or reason about it. You might as well imagine it like this. The snake swallowed the toad. Seeing this, the mantis acted bravely and hugged the snake tightly, and used its two front paws, which are two saws, to cut open the snake's body.
After the toad was rescued, it did not die immediately. This was all due to the praying mantis. The mantis fought with the snake and exhausted its energy. It almost died of exhaustion and was dying. It seemed that it would not survive. After the toad recovered, it
, saw the praying mantis, rolled his tongue, and swallowed the mantis. That's what happened. I wonder if Brother Xian thinks Brother Yu's reasoning is reasonable?" Yin Jian asked.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! It is indeed so! The reasoning is completely correct and accurate! Great! So, what does this have to do with Guo Jia's death?" Bu Huishu asked.
