Chapter 96: There Is No Perfect Crime in the World
At noon that day, Heifu was already sitting in the county prison office, and together with the two Ling Shi Le, Fu, and Wei Shi "Anpu" sent by the county lieutenant, they formed a four-person team to solve the case to discuss the murder in the willow tree.
As for the leader of this crime-solving team, it is naturally Prison Pengxi.
At the county level in Qinguo, cases are often handled in coordination between the county lieutenant and the county jail. The county lieutenant provides military support, and the county prison provides professional case-solving personnel, but who has the final say depends on the official position at the scene. This is just a few days ago, because the township guerrilla officer of the county lieutenant system is bigger, and he took the crime-solving team in the wrong direction.
So at the beginning of today, Xi said bluntly that he does not use his official position to determine the right to speak, and everyone can speak freely.
"Gentlemen, I thought that Jing Coupon was just a cover, and it was the murderer who wanted to deceive us."
As the youngest official and the lowest knighthood present, Heifu had the courage to speak.
First, the right lieutenant of the county supported him, and he was temporarily transferred to the county to participate in the work of solving the case.
Second, since Heifu took office, he has solved major cases, and his achievements are obvious to all, and as for criminal investigation and solving cases, Lian Nu praised Heifu for "knowing the art of history".
Hearing Heifu's words, Ling Shile on the other side immediately laughed: "Heifu Pavilion Chief, isn't that Jing coupon what you discovered?" ”
Heifu also admitted: "It was I who found out that it was true, but after thinking about it, I felt that there were many doubts about the fact that this coupons fell at the scene of the killing." ”
"What the pavilion chief said, I deeply believe."
The angry answer, who had been silent for a long time, had not been angry with Uncle Wu in the countryside in the past few days. For the sake of performance, the guy had an unbalanced mentality, and he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, but he didn't care about the innocence of Orion, and he had to order severe torture and interrogation. After that, he ignored it, and jumped into the trap laid by the thief, and tried in vain for several days.
Then, Heifu told the suspicions of this coupon: "First, the time of the crime should have been after sunrise, when all the men in the village went to work in the fields, and the female dependents also went to deliver food, and the whole room seemed to be empty. It was on this occasion that the deceased committed adultery, and it was during this time that the murderer broke into the house and killed someone, and the deceased may have cried for help at that time, but it was not heard. ”
The murderer killed the deceased in a grand manner, and instead of going through the window, he opened the door and left. Since it was so orderly, how could the murderer be so panicked as to drop the thorn coupon? This is the first suspicion. ”
"Second, although businessmen are cheap, they are often worth a lot of money, so why do they want to be murderers and thieves? Just for money? According to Orion and the family members of the prison gate, there was indeed a shortage of money at the scene, but it did not exceed 600 yuan, and the murder for the sake of the 600 yuan actually gave up the 1,800 yuan of thorn coupons, and the contradiction between the two is the second suspicion. ”
Xi said: "So, do you think this thorn coupon is a forgery?" Was it a thief who deliberately left it at the scene? ”
Heifu said: "However, that thief is extremely cunning, and he knows that Ling Shi is meticulous and strict in handling the case, and he wants to deliberately lure us to be fooled, so that the government will waste its efforts to track down those merchants who sell silk." ”
He said angrily: "The head of the Heifu Pavilion is reasonable, we were ordered to track down in the township, county, and city for many days, but we did not find the right coupon of this Jing coupon, and there was no record from the city officials. This coupons don't have a right coupon at all, but a forgery, we are all busy in vain, and it is impossible to find the murderer through the coupon, so we have to think of other ways. ”
This case has now entered a bottleneck, but Heifu did not despair, according to the principle of material exchange learned in the criminal investigation class: if you enter the crime scene, you will definitely have a material exchange with the scene, that is, you will leave evidence that belongs to the crime, so there is no perfect crime.
Although the murderer is very cunning, he even knows that he left Jing coupons to mislead the government and has a certain anti-reconnaissance ability, but after all, he was a thief more than 2,000 years ago, and in the eyes of Heifu, he left too many flaws!
The people present are all officials who have investigated many cases, especially Nu and Le, who have felt that the investigation is not in the right direction these days, so they have screened out other evidence and prepared to change directions.
"Perhaps, you can start with the knife used by the murderer!" Heifu and Nu said in unison.
……
Le picked up the murder weapon on the case and showed it to everyone, it was a small knife about a foot long, with a slight protrusion in the middle ridge, the wooden handle was very short, less than two inches, and some strips of linen were wrapped around it, the color was dull, and the end was an iron ring, which had cracked.
In the short weapons of this year, the army mainly used swords, and the people used both swords. People with a little status wear long swords, while people with low status but like force can only carry short swords like daggers, and there are also short knives that hang on the waist and slap the thighs when they shake when they walk, so they are called "patting".
Wei Shi Anpu questioned: "The county magistrates and Qianshou all like martial arts, and they all change their training every year, and they will buy weapons, and the price is cheap, and the price is only a few dozen dollars, so everyone has a hand, and there are no less than hundreds of people who wear it. ”
"Not just with a knife, of course."
Nu also put forward his own thoughts: "According to the family members of the Inner Prison Gate, the Inner Prison Gate did go out with a sword, but it was found at the scene that the sword was taken away, leaving only the scabbard. ”
"The murderer is a smart man, and he also knows that leaving with the knife will cause trouble with the blood stains on it, so he abandons the sword and takes the sword, but does not take the scabbard with him, Chief Heifu, why do you think this is?"
Heifu had been listening silently just now, and immediately responded: "Because the scabbard is painted with conspicuous patterns, and the belt is too conspicuous on the body. ”
"Then why do you have to take the sword?"
"If you only have a scabbard and the sheath is empty, you still can't escape the eye of Ling Shi."
"Not bad."
Nodding angrily: "We have tried, the scabbard can just put down the knife, and conversely, the scabbard of the murderer can also put down the sword!" In other words, now, the scabbard on the murderer's waist should be the sword of the prison gate! ”
"But if it is...... Did the murderer throw away his sheath and sword? Wei Shi Anpu was worried, in this case, they were going in the wrong direction again.
"Wei Shi was born in the school, right?"
At this time, Xi suddenly spoke, this Anpu is only in his twenties, his skin is fair, and he has been well-fed since he was a child.
So he couldn't understand the thoughts of the poor leaders at the bottom.
Xi doesn't have to let people search the bamboo slips, he can slowly tell some of the cases he has handled.
"In the seventh year of the king, I was in Yan County to make a history, when there was a robbery in Yan County, the culprit was a headless, he robbed the rich households of Lu with a stone bow, robbed more than 1,000 money, and filled his clothes. But as he fled, the bow slipped off his shoulder. The head of the Qianqian was reluctant to give up the bow that was not worth thirty dollars, and jumped off the wall to pick it up, but the bow was picked up, and the money fell again. This was repeated twice, delaying time, and finally he was caught by the neighbors who rushed to hear the news and sent the official to be cut off as a city dan. ”
"In the twelfth year of the reign of the king, I became a jailer in Yan County, and I saw a criminal who was arrested and sent to prison for the same thing. There was a man who dug a cave and entered a man's house and stole his clothes, but when he came out, he accidentally dropped the cloth shoes on his feet, which were supposed to be no more than twenty dollars, and since he had stolen the clothes and silk shoes, he could discard them. But this prince actually returned to look for it, but was caught red-handed by the master and sent to the official for the city. ”
After talking about these two cases, he said happily: "These two thieves are stupid enough, but it's not that they don't know how expensive they are, but they are used to being poor, even if it's just a piece of grass shoes, they will be reluctant." In my opinion, the murderer in this case is also a man from a humble background and a poor family. He could have done without the sword, but he had to take it, and since he had taken the sword, he wouldn't throw it away easily......"
"Prison Peng's words are reasonable!"
After listening to the case told by Xi, Wei Shi Anpu no longer had doubts, got up and asked for help: "In this case, I also hope that the prison will issue documents, and I will also go to the county lieutenant to immediately arrest all the people wearing swords in the county, and lock them up for inspection one by one, and I will definitely be able to gain something!" ”
When Heifu heard this, he immediately objected: "In this case, the number of arrests is too large, and there are hundreds of people at every turn, and the prisons in this county can no longer accommodate them." ”
While speaking, Heifu also glanced at the joy, the last incident in the blind mountain has only been a few months, the blood at the market entrance is still there, and the county people still remember it vividly, if they are arrested in large quantities again, it will definitely cause panic. If you're not careful, you'll push the sword-wielding teenagers in the county to the opposite side.
If this group of people is bewitched, violently resists arrest, and kills officials, then the matter will be a big problem.
So he said euphemistically: "It's just a robbery and murder case, it won't make such a big noise, the impact is not good, the county order, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant will definitely be embarrassed, I think it's better not to make it public, it's more appropriate to interrogate them one by one." ”
Wei Shi Anpu said: "Then you have to ask when, maybe it alarmed the criminal and let him run away." ”
Heifu smiled at this time: "I have an idea, I can continue to narrow down the crowd that needs to be visited, can Xijun let me try?" ”
Xi nodded: "You can tell me about it." ”
Heifu got up, came to the center of the hall, picked up his shirt, pointed to his feet in the shape of a square boat, and said: "Don't hide it from you, I can calculate the height of the criminal according to the length of the footprints!" ”
