Chapter Thirty-Four [The serial case where the dead body cannot be seen]
Chief Inspector Shi Yufeng yawned and said: "It's late tonight, the rooms have been arranged, everyone goes to rest first, and we'll talk about everything tomorrow."
Duan Fei glanced at Yan Battou, who then bowed his hands to Shi Yufeng and said: "Sir, we want to see the scene, just let Lao Wang take us there. Sir, we have been working for a long time, so we should rest early.
!.”
"How can I sleep until the case is solved? Since you are so enthusiastic about official duties, I will take you to see it." Shi Yufeng yawned and led everyone to the house of Wang Shanqian, the eldest son of the Wang family, located in the south of the town. It is now
Late at night, the women of the Wang family did not come out to avoid suspicion, so the old housekeeper Wang An came to greet everyone.
Arriving at the back house: "Wang Shanqian died in his study room. Look, it's right here."
I saw a rosewood desk in front of the window facing the back garden in the study. The peach wood floor was clean. The entire study was neat and bright, making it impossible to imagine that a murder had ever occurred here.
The case has happened for nearly a month and a half, and Duan Fei cannot force others to keep the scene intact. Now he can only observe carefully and rely on other people's descriptions to imagine the murder scene.
"At that time, the deceased's body fell in front of the door, and his head rolled into the corner. Blood sprayed everywhere behind the door and on the wall! The scene was a mess, the candlestick was overturned, and the chair was broken and fell to the window sill."
Mr. Shi didn't know whose words he was quoting, because he hadn't come to Hai'an Town at that time, so he spoke as if he had seen the scene.
But Duan Fei still heard some useful information. He questioned: "So the deceased had fought with the murderer? The murderer actually subdued the deceased in a short period of time and cut off his head... Mr. Chief Inspector
, do you know what weapon the murderer used to cut off the deceased’s head?”
Mr. Shi said: "The corpse form filled in by the corpse said that it should be a sharp weapon, and that level was cut off with a knife."
The housekeeper Wang An shed tears and said: "That's right, my master died so miserably..."
Duan Fei looked around in the study room and saw some decorations and books and scrolls placed in an orderly manner on the yellow pear wood bookshelf. However, some places on the bookshelf were painted in different colors. It seemed that some of the things originally placed on the bookshelf had been replaced.
It's like someone took it away.
Wang An saw where Duan Fei's eyes were and hurriedly explained: "The young master often handles some accounts in the study. After he was killed, all those things were taken away by his wife. The murderer did not take anything away."
Duan Fei said nothing. He continued to observe carefully in the room. Not only had the floor been cleaned, but the walls had also been repainted. There was no clue at all. Seeing Mr. Shi's yawns becoming more and more frequent,
, Duan Fei suddenly found some traces behind the door that had been missed.
It was a small drop of blood, maybe because it splashed into nooks and crannies, it had not been washed away. Duan Fei remembered that Mr. Shi had just said that blood was splattered everywhere on the wall and behind the door. This drop of blood should be
The blood of the deceased was stained.
Duan Fei looked back and briefly constructed the scene that day in his mind. The information known so far is that the deceased fell to the ground and died. The blood stain was only one foot high from the ground. Could it be that it was on the neck of the deceased when he fell?
Was it left when the blood was sprayed for the second or third time? This is the shape and size of the particles, and the position... It is a bit strange. It does not look like it was sprayed directly, but like a large drop of blood.
On the door panel and then splashed horizontally.
Duan Fei asked: "Steward Wang, where did the blood spatter on the wall that day?"
Butler Wang gestured to a position on the wall that was only about waist level, and said: "The highest spray reached here, followed by here and here. It was like someone spilled blood on the wall, and a large area was covered with blood."
Duan Fei's heart was moved and he asked: "You said that the blood stains were like being splashed on and formed into a large piece, rather than being splashed on and the particles were fine?"
Butler Wang was confused and didn't know how to answer, so Duan Fei asked someone to bring two bowls of water. Duan Fei took a big mouthful of the first bowl and then squirted out the water while holding his breath.
The water droplets formed a mist-like trace on the wall. Wang An shook his head and said: "No, the blood stains didn't look like this at that time."
Duan Fei poured the remaining portion of the bowl of water into his right hand, then waved his right hand upward, and the water droplets were immediately thrown to the wall to form an arc-shaped trace.
Wan An nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, it's a bit like this, but it's much thicker and much thicker."
Duan Fei poured another bowl of water on a piece of cloth and shook it wetly. Large water stains suddenly appeared on the wall. Butler Wang shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, it's not like this..."
"Strange..." Duan Fei said: "These are the three most common splash marks. Butler Wang, are you sure you remember correctly?"
The Wang family said with certainty: "I can't remember it wrong. I will never forget what happened that day in my life. That blood...that blood...by the way, the blood stains on the wall were like my son using a small gun when he was naughty."
*Like peeing on the wall! Yes, that’s what it looks like!”
Duan Fei was speechless. He thought for a while and said: "I have never seen Zhan, so I don't know how far the blood from a person's neck can spurt, but..."
Duan Fei pulled Shi Bin to the place where Wang Shanqian's body was said to be lying, and pushed him to the ground. Duan Fei said: "At that time, the deceased was just lying down or kneeling like this. If he was slashed with a knife... blood would spray out.
It seems unlikely that it will have the effect of... a child peeing on the wall? What does the Chief Inspector think?"
Shi Yufeng exclaimed, walked over and took a closer look, touched his unshaven chin, and said hesitantly: "It seems... indeed... something is wrong. What's going on? Why has the autopsy never been mentioned?
?”
Duan Fei frowned and thought for a while, and then looked for a while, but couldn't find any other clues. He returned behind Yan Captou and said: "Master Chief, I have finished watching this scene. Next, let's go to the second scene."
Take a look at the murder scene of the third young master Wang Shanru who was killed in heaven."
Shi Yufeng's drowsiness was driven away by the weird splatters of blood. He was also somewhat impressed by Duan Fei, and he led everyone to rush to the place where Mr. Wang's nephew Wang Shangui was killed. At the same time, he explained: "Wang Shanru is
He was attacked and killed on a carriage outside the town. The carriage was destroyed and the driver was knocked unconscious. We didn’t see anything. Let’s take a look at the murder scene of the third victim first.”
Wang Dequan's four sons and four nephews are all of good generation, named Humble and Elegant and Fugui Lida respectively. This Wang Shangui is Wang Dequan's second nephew. His house in Hai'an Town is not small. It is across from Wang Shanqian.
Our house is not far away, we will arrive in a short time.
Although it was already late at night, Shi Yufeng didn't care about it. He knocked on the door and broke in. Wang Shangui died in his bedroom. When Duan Fei saw it, the bedroom had been cleaned up. The blood stains on the wooden floor were very light because the deceased was dead.
In the tub, it is said that Wang Shangui felt that the water was cold at that time, so Wang Shangui's wife went out and asked the maids to bring hot water in. When they came in, Wang Shangui was already dead. The barrel was split open, and Wang Shangui died on the ground, with his body hanging from the collarbone.
Suddenly, his lower abdomen was split open by a wound, and his intestines and stomach were all over the floor with water. The scene was horrific!
The scene was even more damaged. Duan Fei could not find any new clues other than marveling at the murderer's cruelty. He could only hear that the door and window of the bedroom were closed at the time. No one knew how the murderer got in and out. No one knew.
The body and the scene were destroyed, and Duan Fei was nowhere to be found. He couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration rising from his heart.
"Master Shi, why are more than a dozen people dead but not even a single corpse left?" Duan Fei asked with a sigh.
Shi Yufeng replied: "The Wang family has a great influence in Rugao County. After the autopsy was conducted, they requested that the body be buried as soon as possible. The Rugao County Magistrate agreed. In addition, it is not good to leave blood stains in the bedroom, so the scene was cleaned up and washed.
new……"
Duan Fei was speechless. He was facing a serial murderer who killed more than ten people in a row, but he couldn't even see a corpse. This case... is really a mess! dd
