"I see...... Fatty, it seems that we all overlooked a detail just now," Qin Lin smiled and pointed to the corpse, "Take a look again, think about what is wrong." ”

Pretend to be a ghost! Sun Youdao and Cao Si sneered, the old lady was almost coaxed by him, but it was a surprise, there are authentic Mongolians to help him, this time let's go all out, do you still have a chance?

Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, and the school captain brothers all stared at the corpse and observed it carefully, and Bai Shuanghua's eyes widened:

The corpse sat in a circle chair, his body was limp and sagging, and he was fully supported by the back of the chair and the armrests, and there was no problem;

The slight lifting of the neck is a bit unusual, but considering the power of the arrow, it is also possible to raise the head;

The eyes bulged out, the muscles on the face twitched, full of dying anger and pain, and the expression of the moment of death froze;

The blood gushing out of the mouth wet the placket, and there was a spread out "Ji Xiao New Book" on the desk, and the snow-white pages were splashed with a few drops of bright red blood, which was particularly shocking;

The carved arrow inserted in the mouth, the sharp arrow pierced the human body, and pierced half an inch from the back of the head and neck socket......

"No, the shaft of the arrow, there is no blood on the shaft!" Lu Yuanzhi exclaimed loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and if they looked closely at the arrow shaft, they did not even get any blood foam.

Thunderstorm opened his eyes, He Ang's mouth opened slightly, Ni Zhongyuan gasped, Tang Keshan opened his mouth and stammered, and the four hall officials were all surprised and inexplicable.

Cao Si and Sun Youdao exchanged a look with each other, and their faces were a little ugly.

Qin Lin smiled and nodded at Lu Yuanzhi, and said loudly: "Indeed, because the shaft of the arrow is jet black, whether there is blood or not is not conspicuous, and when we see this scene, our attention is first attracted by the bizarre death and twisted and struggling expression of the deceased with an arrow in his mouth, and it is inevitable to ignore this inconspicuous detail." ”

Lu Yuanzhi blinked his small eyes, and said down: "Since the sharp arrow pierced the mouth and died, there must be blood gushing out of the mouth of the deceased, look at the placket and the military book have spurted a lot of blood, why is the arrow shaft clean?" Has it been brushed by? In this case, this arrow was not shot from the window, but someone took it and stabbed General Ouyang to death? ”

"Actually, you've already answered your own question," Qin Lin said, smiling without saying a word.

Bai Shuanghua was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Qin Lin meant, and Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali also suddenly realized.

Cao Si hated Qin Lin deeply, and shouted inwardly: "What tricks are you playing with the surname Qin?" Who will be deceived by the words? ”

"Stupid!" Lu Fatzi took a sip, held his hands weakly, made a gesture of holding an arrow, stabbed it into his mouth, and then pretended to spit out blood with a pop, and spit saliva on his hand.

Everyone immediately understood that because the arrow was not shot from the window, but was stabbed to death by someone in his hand, the blood that Ouyang Peng spat out on his death must have sprayed on the shaft of the arrow and the hand holding the shaft, and the blood stains left the person's handprint on the shaft of the arrow.

In this way, the perpetrator must wipe the blood stains off the arrow shaft, otherwise even an idiot can see that it was an arrow held in one hand and inserted it into Ouyang Peng's mouth.

I understand, I understand, but the brothers, especially Bai Shuanghua, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Lu Fatzi spitting out his saliva, this guy is too dirty.

Niu Dali was reminded by this scene, and immediately shouted: "Chief Qin, let's hurry up and search everywhere in the internal office, the murderer has not had much time to commit the crime, maybe the cloth that wiped the blood stains has not been thrown away." ”

Well, it can be regarded as a clue at all, Qin Lin immediately ordered the official school brothers to search.

"Why did you give us a mortgage room?" Ni Zhongyuan shouted.

Tang Keshan was not good either, and said forcefully: "It's all your words, maybe the blood just didn't spray the carved arrows?" ”

Experience, Zhenfu, Qianhu and other large groups of middle- and low-level officers only looked at the thunderstorm, he was Ouyang Peng's henchman, General Ouyang was dead, and Jiangzhou Wei faintly headed him.

Thunderstorm waved his hand without thinking: "Old Ni, old Tang, we don't do bad things in our lives, we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, let them search it!" ”

Ni and Tang had nothing to say, so they had to listen to Niu Dali to lead the Jinyi official school to search in the room where everyone signed off.

Qin Lin smiled and pointed to the shaft of the arrow: "Commander Tang said that I was one-sided, but it is not wrong, so I should come up with more powerful evidence." Battle, bring me one of your eagle arrows. ”

Jebel's pseudonym was Battle, he didn't know what Qin Lin was going to do, but he didn't hesitate for a moment, took an arrow from the quiver on the ground, and respectfully handed it to Qin Lin - the quiver was taken into the command by the Jiangzhou guards as evidence.

The raw cowhide bag containing forensic tools was carried on horseback, and Lu Yuanzhi had already brought it, Qin Lin took out a fingerprint brush and silver powder from it, and carefully brushed it on the shaft of the arrow.

Soon, the place where Jebel had taken showed fingerprints.

Qin Lin held the arrow shaft and introduced: "Human fingers secrete oil and sweat, and wherever a human hand touches it, it will leave a fingerprint, which can be seen by brushing it with gold and silver. ”

This principle is easy to understand, at this time, people also make handprints on the paper contract, but they don't understand the method of fingerprint development.

Qin Lin said, he walked to Ouyang Peng's body again, and used his fingerprint brush to brush back and forth on the carved arrow as the murder weapon, this time the result was different, the arrow shaft and arrow tail were stained with a thin layer of silver powder, but no fingerprints were displayed.

This is strong evidence that the shaft of the arrow has been wiped! When you open the bow and release the arrow, you have to pinch the shaft of the arrow, and it is impossible not to leave fingerprints!

However, after Qin Lin finished doing it, he also sighed softly, if the arrow shaft had not been wiped, he could find out the real murderer based on fingerprints alone...... His gaze slid lightly over the bodies of the four hall officials and the soldiers who delivered the tea.

"That maybe," Sun Youdao was more cunning, and quickly thought of the only flaw: "If the assassin knows that Commander Qin has the means to make the fingerprints visible, and wears gloves or uses cloth to pad his hands when releasing the arrow, there will still be no fingerprints left on the shaft of the arrow." ”

Qin Lin hehehe: "What about the blood stains?" You won't say that the blood that General Ouyang spat out in his mouth when he was dying was also padded with a cloth by the murderer, so that it didn't splash the arrow shaft, right? ”

Sun Youdao had nothing to say, glared at Qin Lin viciously, and snorted heavily in his nose.

"Brother Sun, don't be angry, this matter has nothing to do with your caravan, the lower officials can be a witness," Ni Zhongyuan nodded and smiled, no matter how famous Qin Lin is, and he is respected by his boss Ma Gui, compared to the Young Master's Mansion in his heart after all.

Tang Keshan also patted his chest: "I'm afraid that there are still Tartars with bad intentions, when Brother Sun's caravan set off, Xia Guan sent a team of elite soldiers to accompany him." ”

Sun Youdao looked at Qin Lin and sneered, he wanted to go against the Young Master's Mansion in Shanxi, that is, the mantis arm was used as a car, and he couldn't do anything about himself!

Niu vigorously searched and came back rather depressed, but he didn't find anything.

Qin Lin smiled helplessly, it seems that the other party is very clean and neat, and he will not let himself catch such an obvious mistake, the cloth that wiped the bloodstains, and the clothes that were stained with Ouyang Peng's blood when the murderer committed the murder, I am afraid that he was sent away as soon as possible.

"Damn, that's so infuriating!" The thunderstorm suddenly slammed his fist against the wall, and there was a loud bang, "The general is actually commanding the envoy to be killed, and we still have the face to see people when it spreads?" ”

Ni Zhongyuan and Tang Keshan, who were still flattering Sun Youdao just now, also lowered their heads at this time, each with a calculation in their hearts, the commander was killed in the Yamen of Benwei, and they, the officials of the hall, could not escape responsibility, I am afraid that the future is a little bleak, and they will have to ask for the guilt.

Qin Lin raised his eyebrows, looked at the right hand used by the thunderstorm, and asked with some curiosity: "Commander Lei, is your hand not swollen?" ”

Bai Shuanghua lowered his head and smiled secretly, Qin Lin, this guy, which pot is not opened.

Thunderstorm looked embarrassed, he was injured by a bullet on the finger of such a clear and delicate "little soldier", it was really embarrassing, even if the other party was a master of Ouchi, it was too much.

He sneered: "It's still swollen, it's not as painful as it started, thanks to Brother He's medicine, oh, he's a family medicine and a good hand at treating bruises." ”

Lu Yuanzhi interjected: "Brother Qin and I are also from the Li Family Medical Hall in Qizhou, if we want to be considered together, I don't know how He commands ......."

He Ang said very humbly: "My ancestors were all military medical officers, and it was only in my father's generation that I accidentally earned military merits and became a military attaché. ”

Qin Lin pointed to Jebe and the others who had a blue nose and swollen face: "Trouble Commander He also treats them, now it seems that the arrow should have been held and pierced into General Ouyang's mouth, and it has nothing to do with these Mongolian merchants." ”

He Ang hesitated slightly, but finally took out the medicine and treated Jebe and the others.

Not only was Zhebei grateful to Qin Lin, but the officials in brocade clothes who knew the inside story all nodded secretly, following Chief Qin is different, it is really rare to remember the subordinate commanders like this!

Qin Lin not only treated Zhebei's injuries, but also exonerated him in and out of his words, Cao Si jumped up as soon as he heard it, didn't this disrupt the plan of the Young Master's Mansion?

He shouted, "You say no, no? Ouyang Peng is a big living person, can he let others stick arrows into his mouth? I saw that it was the Mongolian marksman who shot an arrow into his mouth while he was yawning. ”

It is very difficult to shoot into his mouth while yawning, but it seems to be nothing compared to entering the house to assassinate, Cao Si said that there is some truth, Ouyang Peng is a big living person, how can he watch the murderer walk into the house and insert a sharp arrow into his mouth?

Thunderstorm blinked his eyes and said blankly: "Yes, General Ouyang is proficient in martial arts, he opens a two-stone strong bow, and picks up a forty-eight-pound Guan knife, and when ten or eight people can't get close, who can put an arrow into his mouth?" Moreover, and the general did not have time to shout......"

"Could it be that the King of Virtue personally took action?" Bai Shuanghua whispered in Qin Lin's ear, his breath was like an orchid, and it made Qin Lin's ears itch.
