Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Great Flood Washed the Dragon King Temple
Everyone at the door agreed with Li Canghai's inference, and the head catcher suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and he shouted a little unconvinced: "At least, the murderer must have escaped from the back window." ”
Li Canghai smiled, he shook his head slightly and said, "Lord Catch is wrong again." ”
The head catcher was stunned for a moment, he raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Where did I guess wrong?" ”
Li Canghai walked to the window with the catcher, pointed to the dust on the window string and said: "The window string is covered with dust, if someone escapes from here, they will definitely leave footprints here, but there is no trace here, what does this mean?" ”
"What does it mean?" The catcher asked, confused.
"It shows that the murderer did not escape from here, he deliberately broke the window, in fact, he was suspicious." Li Canghai paused, squinted his eyes and said, "This murderer is not simple!" ”
At this time, the official who went to the backyard to investigate ran up and said to the catcher: "Chang Tou, the little one didn't find any footprints in the backyard. ”
Luofengji is located at the foot of Bishan Mountain, and the climate of Bishan is fickle, not to mention that there was just a heavy rain last night, and the backyard is muddy, if someone walks will definitely leave footprints.
At this time, there were no footprints, which shows that Li Canghai's judgment was completely correct, and the murderer did not leave this inn!
The head catcher was completely convinced this time, and his tone became respectful.
"In your opinion, who will be the murderer?"
Li Canghai looked at the corpse and said, "Judging from the degree of blood clotting from the wound of the deceased, the time of death is no more than an hour, and it should be between the times." Judging from the shape of the wound, the murder weapon should be a sharp weapon such as a dagger. ”
As he spoke, Li Canghai checked the corpse again, he touched the corpse with his hand, and when he touched the back of the corpse, he suddenly whispered strangely.
"Did Childe notice anything strange?" The head catcher was already full of vigor at this time, and followed Li Canghai step by step, and asked cautiously.
Li Canghai did not speak, but fell into deep thought. When he touched the back of the corpse, he noticed that one of the vertebrae of the deceased had been misaligned.
The spine is an important bone joint that supports the human body, and the spine of the deceased is actually misaligned, this kind of pain is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear, he suddenly had a thought, will this have some kind of relationship with the death of the deceased?
Li Canghai frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "It's not yet possible to determine who the murderer is, but before the county magistrate comes, I will investigate again." ”
"Lord Prefectural?" The head catcher, who is known as Chang Tou, was stunned, and said with embarrassment: "It's not a secret, our county commander went to Luoyang Mansion a few days ago, and he never came back." ”
Li Canghai looked at Chang Tou in a little surprise, originally he thought that when the county order under his jurisdiction arrived, he would withdraw from the case and concentrate on investigating the mystery of the 'Treasure of the Martial Emperor', but he didn't think that there was no county order here.
"Who is under the jurisdiction of this county?" Li Canghai asked suspiciously.
"This place belongs to the boundary of Zhengyang County." Chang Tou replied honestly.
Li Canghai suddenly felt that this word sounded very familiar, and after chanting it a few times, his heart shook suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that he was not the county magistrate of Zhengyang County?
"I didn't expect to come to my house, but I didn't even know my home, it seems that I can't escape this case if I want to." Li Canghai couldn't help laughing at himself.
He looked at Chang Tou and suddenly asked, "Do you recognize the Zhengyang County Order?" ”
Unexpectedly, the catcher shook his head: "I don't know, before the new county commander arrived, I was transferred to Luofengji, and I haven't seen the new county commander yet." ”
Li Canghai smiled slightly and said, "That's good, I'm the Zhengyang County Commander." ”
As he spoke, he took out the official talisman from his arms and lit it up at Chang Tou.
Chang Tou was stunned for a moment, hurriedly knelt down, and kept kowtowing: "The villain has eyes without beads, and he doesn't know that the adult is coming, so I hope the adult will forgive his sins." Where the villain's words collide, you have a lot of adults, please forgive the villain! ”
Chang was drenched in cold sweat, thinking of his arrogant attitude before, he really regretted his intestines, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate today.
Li Canghai frowned in disgust, this person knew at a glance that he was a straw bag, he was a powerful man on weekdays, and he acted recklessly when he encountered something. If a case falls into his hands, there may be many unjust, false and wrongful cases.
"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Li Canghai said coldly.
Chang Tou knelt on the ground, did not dare to raise his head, and said continuously: "Big, adult, small know, know wrong...... Ask for your kindness! ”
"Human life is at stake, how can it be child's play? You, as a catcher, should know what's at stake, but you're acting so carelessly! Today, the official will not pursue you for the time being, and will make a decision when the case is concluded. Li Canghai threw down his sleeves and said with a rather majestic face.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." After Chang Tou kowtowed a few times, he stood up with a sweat, and stood aside tremblingly for a long time and didn't dare to speak.
The county order holds the power of a county, and it is all up to the county order to decide who goes and who stays. Chang Tou is a head catcher, although it is not much a year, but he can also rely on the identity of the head catcher to make some oil and water, if he is banned by the county order to catch the head and be demoted to the people, then he will have to drink the northwest wind in the future.
Li Canghai didn't know what was churning in Chang Tou's heart, he focused all his attention on the murder case, and carefully investigated it in the house.
There are often many details hidden at the murder scene, and these details are the key to solving the case, he believes that there is no perfect case in the true sense of the word, and any case will leave more or less details.
Li Canghai decided to examine the corpse again, and the clues on the corpse were much more real than the surrounding environment.
Flipping open the collar of the deceased, Li Canghai found that there was a purple pinch mark on the deceased's neck, and when he examined the body, he did not find any traces on the deceased's neck.
Li Canghai touched the neck of the deceased with his hand, and quickly understood the reason.
The deceased was strangled by his hand before his death, and then killed, and the blood flowed to his chest in large quantities, and there was not enough blood in the arteries, so that no obvious traces were visible.
But when he touched the deceased's spine before, he gently lifted the deceased, causing the blood to flow back, and the skin between the neck was congested again, revealing the original pinch marks.
Comparing the size of the pinch marks on the deceased's neck, Li Canghai gradually had some judgments in his heart.
However, the hands of the deceased caught his attention.
The deceased's left hand was open, but his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and as the corpse began to stiffen, it took Li Canghai a lot of effort to move the deceased's fist away.
After removing his fist, Li Canghai found that the deceased was holding a small string of silver tassels, he quietly put away the tassels, and then asked Chang Tou to ask those tenants if they had found anything abnormal.
