Chapter 123: Extrapolating the Time of Death

Su Xianrong looked at Qin Xiaoyun who was lying on the bed and said, "I'm afraid this case is a little tricky." Originally, we had a client, but the client's throat was cut by a short knife, and he almost cut a blood vessel. Her current situation was still very dangerous, and if she wanted to speak, she would have to wait at least three days to speak. ”

Song Ruilong saw Qin Zhenhai waiting next to Qin Xiaoyun, and tears wet his sleeves.

Song Ruilong said: "Do you understand the situation here?" ”

Su Xianrong said: "It's all clear." The informant's name is Qin Zhenhai, the deceased is Qin Zhenhai's wife Zhao Yanping, and the injured person is Qin Zhenhai's daughter Qin Xiaoyun. ”

Song Ruilong said lightly: "I know all these situations. Where was Qin Xiaoyun at that time? ”

Su Xianrong pointed to the door and said, "Qin Xiaoyun was lying in this position at that time. I have already asked people to draw a human figure, which is where Qin Xiaoyun is lying down, and there are blood stains on her neck. ”

Su Xianrong pointed to a human figure drawn with flour at the door and said.

Song Ruilong followed Su Xianrong out of Qin Xiaoyun's room.

Song Ruilong looked at the figure carefully, and said: "It depends on the situation, Qin Xiaoyun heard the movement outside the door, she opened the door by herself, and walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, and she also shouted loudly 'catch the thief'." The thief rushed in front of her and stabbed Qin Xiaoyun in the throat, and Qin Xiaoyun fell to the ground unconscious. After that, she never got up until her father Qin Zhenhai came back to wake her up, right? ”

Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong with some surprise and said, "How do you know this?" ”

Song Ruilong looked at the row of footprints and said, "Look at that row of footprints." Because of the light rain last night, the murderer's shoe prints were very obvious. Judging from the row of footprints, the murderer had turned over from the wall next door. ”

Su Xianrong said in surprise: "What you said is not bad at all with what Qin Xiaoyun said. ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "Let me guess correctly." Qin Xiaoyun is literate, although she can't speak, but she can write. ”

Su Xianrong said: "This is also seen by you?" ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "You think my county order is to eat dry rice." Although I didn't see Qin Xiaoyun writing, I could already smell the scent of ink in Qin Xiaoyun's room. At first, I was because it was the smell of perfume on Qin Xiaoyun's dresser, but when I opened a box and smelled it, I was sure that the smell was ink. So who will write in that situation? One is Qin Zhenhai, and the other is Qin Xiaoyun. Qin Zhenhai is mute, if he could write, he would have written in court a long time ago. Qin Zhenhai can't write, so there is only Qin Xiaoyun. ”

Su Xianrong said: "I really let you say it right." Qin Xiaoyun's characters were taught by her mother, Zhao Yanping. is also a well-informed girl. She had just gotten married, and she didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”

Song Ruilong pondered, without a trace of expression on his face, suddenly his eyes looked at the footprints on the ground, and squatted down to think, and then he returned to Qin Xiaoyun's room, looked at the clothes she had changed, and touched them with his hand.

Su Xianrong didn't know what Song Ruilong had found again, and she didn't dare to interrupt for a while.

Song Ruilong suddenly said with some excitement: "Maybe we can set the time of Zhao Yanping's death more accurately." ”

Su Xianrong's eyes were full of doubts, and he said, "How to set the exact time of death?" Didn't Aunt Zhang say that the time of death was from the time of ugliness to the time of Yin? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Yes, but there is a big difference between the ugly time and the Yin time, the longest is four hours, and the shortest is one hour. You must know that a person can do a lot in half a quarter, so the more detailed we determine the time of death here, the better we can find out the real murderer. ”

Song Ruilong took Su Xianrong to the courtyard, Song Ruilong squatted down, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and the row of shoe prints, and said, "Rongrong, look at these bloodstains and shoe prints on the ground, what can you think of?" ”

Su Xianrong said with some excitement when he thought about it: "This shoe print is very clear, and there is no trace of blood stained by rain." There was a very small rain last night, and I asked my husband about it, and the specific time of the rain was at the third watch, which is the ugly hour. It rained and never rained again. ”

Song Ruilong thought to himself: "According to the era I live in, that is, from one to three o'clock in the morning, the ugly hour is two o'clock. It rained at two o'clock, that is, the thief had not yet acted at that time. ”

Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong in surprise and said, "Brother Song, what are you thinking?" ”

Song Ruilong came back to his senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm thinking about the exact time of the murder. ”

Su Xianrong said: "Looking at the smile on your face, you should have thought of it, right?" ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "Hmm." The specific time of the murder was from the second quarter of the child to the beginning of the second hour. ”

Su Xianrong stared at her eyes and said, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Song Ruilong looked at the blood stains on the ground and said, "Because it happened to rain at the hour." Looking at the situation on the ground, the rain should not be heavy, and the duration should be a quarter of an hour, that is, fifteen minutes. If it rains for too long, puddles will appear on the ground, and if the time is too short, the ground will not be wet at all. Through the footprints, we can see that the murderer did not act until the rain stopped. You see, this row of footprints has dirt squeezed out of the shoes. After the earth was squeezed up, it did not collapse, which shows that the murderer did not come to the deceased's house as soon as the rain stopped. Because when the rain stopped, the soil was so soft that it was impossible for the shoe prints to be squeezed so high, and they would soon collapse. ”

Su Xianrong also looked carefully at those footprints, listened to Song Ruilong's words, and compared them, and said, "Brother Song, your analysis is not bad at all. This footprint is indeed the kind of situation you said, and the murderer acted at the second moment of the ugly hour. This is also the time of his murder. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "After the murderer climbed over the courtyard wall over there, he immediately arrived in the courtyard, and before he could look around, he was discovered by Qin Xiaoyun, who woke up from the house. Qin Xiaoyun shouted loudly, 'Catch the thief', and that person knew that his matter was exposed, so he rushed over and stabbed Qin Xiaoyun in the neck. Immediately after that, he heard movement in the upper room, so he simply came and killed the man without doing anything. This should be what happened to the case. ”

Su Xianrong said: "From the depth and focus of the footprints, as well as the distance between the footprints, it is certain that the murderer rushed to Qin Xiaoyun quickly."

After Song Ruilong determined the time of Zhao Yanping's death, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Xianrong, and said, "Rongrong, did Qin Xiaoyun still provide some valuable clues?"
