Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It was the height of summer, and the sun was baking the land of Duanzhou like a furnace. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) A few days ago, there was a heavy rain, there was a lot of stagnant water in the low-lying places of Duanzhou, but under the raging sun, the rain quickly dried up, the ground after the stagnant water was wet and muddy, and then exposed to the scorching sun, it cracked and rolled up pieces of palm-sized crust, and the bare dolls ran around with bare feet in it, peeling up the clay piece by piece, and when the tiles were stacked up for home.

The weather is too hot, except for these excited children, everyone else is lazy and can't lift their spirits, unless they want to go to the ground, they are all in the shade in front of the house and behind the house to escape the heat, there are few pedestrians on the road. Even the big willow trees with thick shade were just as listless in this hellish weather, and the willow branches drooped lifelessly, and only the knowers hidden in the bushes made endless noise, and the screamers were drowsy.

In the area of the Dawan River in Duanzhou City, it is especially cool at this time, because there is an inlet formed by the tributaries of the Mi River, which is a place to cool off the heat.

Having said that, I wouldn't say so much nonsense either. At noon one day, two corpses were found in a cave behind a mountain on the shore of this lake.

The case was too big, and Bao Heizi ordered Xiao Yu'er to go and check. When I got to the lakeside, I found the eyewitness to the first scene of the crime. I'm here to cool off. I wanted to come to this cave to rest, but I didn't expect two dead people to appear, and they were so frightened that they ran to report the crime......

As he spoke, the little fish reached the cave where the corpse was found. The cave was located on a small hill on the shore of the lake, and in front of the entrance was a wide flat rocky field, with a small willow forest 3o meters to the right. The empty mountain is secluded, and there is hardly any sound to be heard except for the occasional birdsong.

On the ground not far from the entrance of the cave, there are a small number of dripping coagulated blood spots, which are relatively bright in color and in a string-like form, extending intermittently into the cave. Follow the bloodstains. Xiao Yu'er and the others took the fire fold and walked slowly towards the dark cave.

The mouth of the cave is only 2 meters wide, but it grows wider and wider the further back, and it is in the shape of a huge gourd, with an inclination angle of nearly 3o degrees, which plunges straight into the belly of the mountain. After walking about 2o meters, Mahan suddenly shouted: "Here it is! ”

Under the light of the little fish with the fire fold, he clearly saw that the two dead were lying side by side in the deepest part of the cave. After lighting the torches, the cave was much brighter. The tragic condition of the two deceased is heart-wrenching.

One of the deceased was lying on his stomach on the ground, face down, and was judged to be male based on his clothing and body shape. The skull of the back of the brain collapsed, showing the expansion and laceration left by the repeated chiseling of hard objects, the sharp bone stubble pierced the cortex and exposed to the outside, and the dark red blood and yellow-white brain tissue overflowed in large quantities, coagulated and cemented into jelly. Turning his head slightly, he was fifty-four or fifteen years old with an ordinary appearance. His lips were slightly open, and his face was a little pale due to excessive blood loss.

The other deceased, a young woman of 23 or 4 years old, was lying on her side with twisted features. The expression is painful, but you can still see that she looks beautiful. The left temple also showed repeated hard object chiseling marks, and blood from the wound flowed to the ground, forming a large pool of slimy blood. There is a bruised pinching indentation around the erection neck. The pants were faded below the knee, and there were obvious lacerations in the pubic area, and a large number of dried sperm spots were visible to the naked eye. It shows that he was raped before his death.

Xiao Yu'er frowned, looked around, and had a bad premonition in her heart, the murder of two corpses in the inaccessible cave was probably difficult to solve.

A careful search of the cave site revealed that nothing remained. A search of the deceased's pockets revealed that the items that were supposed to be carried, such as government documents and money bags, were not found, and it was initially inferred that it was a robbery and murder, accompanied by sexual assault on the female victim.

On the ground, half a meter away from the two corpses, the dynasty extracted an irregular stone the size of a brick. When the torch shines on it, the sharp side of it is stained with a large amount of coagulated dark brown blood.

"Come and see, I've found the murder weapon."

Xiao Yu'er came over and took a look, this is a stone on this small mountain, which can be seen everywhere, and it should be the murder weapon used by the murderer. The inside of the cave is rough rocky, and fingerprints and footprints are indistinguishable.

The two bodies were moved to a bright and open area outside the cave, and Xiaoyu'er began to perform a preliminary autopsy.

After cutting open the clothes of the two deceased and examining them carefully, they found no other injuries left by external forces on their bodies, nor did they show any signs of poisoning, and the cause of death was a fractured skull caused by a blow with a hard object. As for the purple and bruised marks on the neck of the female deceased, they did not injure the bones of the mouthpiece and were not fatal, and it was inferred that they were caused by preventing the victim from resisting the call during the rape.

The corpse spots on the bodies of the two deceased appeared in contact with the ground, and both had entered the wetting period, and the pressure could not make the corpse spots subside, and the time of death should have been a day ago, that is, around noon yesterday, a full 12 hours after the time when the informant appeared on the body.

Combined with the physical evidence clues inside and outside the cave, the way the victim died and the time of death, Xiao Yuer had a rough judgment on the case: the two deceased came together yesterday to enjoy the coolness, and met the murderer when they came to the vicinity of the cave at noon. The murderer knocked the male deceased unconscious and dragged him into the cave with a random stone, and beat him to death in the cave. At the same time, the female deceased was forcibly brought in and raped. In order to stop the woman's screams, the killer stunned her and then beat her to death with the same stone.

Considering that the deceased were two people, there were no other injuries on the body surface, and there were no obvious signs of struggle or property left at the scene, Xiao Yuer once again deduced that the murderer's motive for the crime was only robbery, and the number of people should not be less than two, and it is very likely that they also came to cool off at the same time that day. Generally, no one comes out to run around in the hot noon, which is a rare track.

After the scene was disposed of, Xiao Yuer ordered the officials to lift the two deceased and walk down the mountain. Although wrapped in a white cloth, the shape of the human body could not be concealed, and many people were attracted along the way, pointing and pointing, all speculating whether it was a murder on the mountain.

Since a full day has passed since the time of the case, there is basically no point in transferring abroad.

After returning to the Yamen, Xiao Yuer met with Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun to prepare for a comprehensive examination of the remains and two bodies extracted from the scene.

The blood-stained stone was measured and compared with the wound of the deceased, and its size and shape were completely consistent, which preliminarily confirmed that the stone was the murder weapon that caused the death of the two people. Next, there is an autopsy of the deceased and the filling out of the autopsy.

Around mid-afternoon, Dynasty Mahan returned with some findings. After questioning the people in the vicinity, no one had seen the deceased.

It is inferred that the murderer, after seeing the two deceased, committed robbery and rape at random. Combined with its cruel criminal methods, the possibility of habitual offenders cannot be ruled out, and it is necessary to investigate all people with such criminal deeds in the vicinity of Duanzhou, and at the same time, it is necessary to compare similar unsolved cases in recent years and strive to carry out collusion and investigation. This matter will be handled by Mr. Gongsun. Xiao Yu'er next to him, after all, Xiao Yu'er knows a lot of people, the first big gang in the rivers and lakes, and the disciples of the beggar gang are all over the country, compared to one or two.

Xiao Yu'er also drew portraits of the deceased and posted notices to identify the two deceased.

Xiao Yu'er thought for a while and said, "The scene does seem to meet the basic characteristics of robbery and murder, but there is one thing that is very doubtful. If the two deceased and the murderer are both here to play, why did the murderer suddenly think of robbery, rape and murder? This crime is not trivial, and it is difficult to be convinced that it is a random motive. It's still hard to make sense of this. ”

For Xiao Yu'er's suspicions, Zhao Hu naturally objected, the murderer may have gone somewhere to play, saw the two deceased dressed well, and went to the cave, so he saw the wealth, waited for the opportunity to follow, and carried out robbery and murder in the cave where no one was.

Xiao Yu'er shook her head and said, "One more point, the male deceased is in his fifties, and the female deceased is in her twenties, what is their relationship?" If it were an ordinary friend, it would seem a little incomprehensible; If it's a father and daughter, it's not quite like that. Then there is only one possibility, the relationship between the two is not normal, and it is likely to be lovers. If so, is there another possibility, the murderer's motive was vendetta, or maybe it was a relational person around the two deceased. (To be continued......)
