Chapter 116: The Mystery of Blood Letter (Part 2)
Tsk~
This is a bit embarrassing.
After staring at the two bloated and rotten corpses for a long while, Sun Shaozong remembered that the preservation methods were not up to standard in those days. After being stored for ten days or half a month, the corpses would naturally rot and deteriorate.
Not to mention the drunkard and Lin Zongmao, even Jin Yichuan's corpse showed a tendency to develop gigantism.
Therefore, the method of putting clothes on the body to reconstruct the scene is obviously no longer feasible.
"Well……"
After staring at Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian for a while, Sun Shaozong had to change his mind temporarily: "Let's find a few people with a similar body shape to the deceased and have them wear these three blood-stained clothes."
So half an hour later, three men with gloomy faces appeared on the ground and in the corners, posing in various twisted postures.
Sun Shaozong would pull open her clothes to take a closer look, and then he would stretch out his fingers to touch her chest, which made the three of them shudder...
Well, to be precise, two of them are creepy, while the other one seems to be enjoying it, so it seems that he is either a gay or a double plug!
There is no way. In recent years, it has become popular among noble families to keep male favorites. With the superiors following the example, the Longyang style of the Zhou Dynasty is naturally far superior to that of previous dynasties.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong could only try his best to get used to it.
However, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian were watching with bated breath. After Sun Shaozong had read it twice, he could not help but ask, "Sir, do you...do you see anything strange?"
Sun Shaozong did not answer, but cut a piece of clothes from each of the three people, and let Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian hold them loosely in their hands. He then dipped his fingers in thick ink and wrote on them, and then carefully observed the penetration of the back of the cloth.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "The 'blood words' outside look the same, but the blood stains on Jin Yichuan's underwear are obviously less than the previous two deaths."
"I just tried it, the permeability of the three clothes is about the same, Jin Yichuan's is even stronger."
"While the outer layer of bloodstains has not significantly reduced, this difference has occurred. This is probably because the murderer wrote much faster than the previous two times."
"In that case..."
Shen Lian interrupted and said, "That guy really had extra emotions when facing Yichuan?!"
"It's just a possibility."
Sun Shaozong shrugged and said, "In fact, this is probably because there is a city-wide search going on recently, and he dare not stay at the crime scene for long."
As he spoke, he looked at the morgue not far away and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the wounds of the previous few dead can no longer be clearly compared. Otherwise, if the two were compared, maybe... Wait!"
As he was talking, Sun Shaozong's eyes suddenly lit up. These three cases were all handled by Daxing County, and the person responsible for handling the bodies was naturally Wang Gaosheng, the coroner of Daxing County.
After the Daxing County dismemberment case, Wang Gaosheng, stimulated and inspired by Sun Shaozong, performed autopsies much more meticulously and thoroughly than before.
If he were to dissect Jin Yichuan's body, maybe he could find out something!
So Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked Lu Jianxing to send someone to the Daxing County Government to invite Wang Gaosheng to come.
When Wang Gaosheng heard that it was Sun Shaozong who invited him, he naturally brought all his equipment and came happily.
About an hour later...
"It's different. This wound is indeed a little different."
Wang Gaosheng held a slightly deteriorated heart in his hands, frowned and muttered to himself, but was reluctant to reveal what was different.
When Sun Shaozong was keeping the secret just now, although Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian were anxious, they did not dare to act rashly.
But how dare a small county coroner keep people in suspense?
What's more, the two of them had just watched this guy disembowel their brother. Although they didn't bear a grudge against him, they didn't have a good impression of him.
Therefore, Shen Lian scolded impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? Why don't you tell me what the difference is?!"
After being scolded by him, Wang Gaosheng was shocked to realize that he was no longer in Daxing County, but in the notorious Dragon Guards.
So he quickly showed the heart, smiling...
Uh~
It seemed that this was not the time to laugh, so he quickly put on a sad face and said, "My lords, please look, there are some faint jagged marks on the wound of the heart, which should be left when the murder weapon was slowly pulled out."
"The heart wounds of the first three victims were relatively smooth, which means the murder weapon was quickly pulled out after the heart was pierced."
"Also, the wound on Lord Jin's heart is slightly larger than that on the other three people. If it was the same murder weapon, it is very likely that it was stirred vigorously after being stabbed."
Stir vigorously, draw the knife slowly , change the writing speed...
Sun Shaozong smacked his lips, took off his dissection gloves and mask, and threw them into the copper basin beside him.
He frowned and said, "No matter what the reason, the murderer's emotions when he attacked Jin Yichuan should be much greater than when he faced other victims. According to common sense, it is very likely that the murderer was an acquaintance."
This case is a bit like Agatha Christie's "The ABC Murders". In order to clear himself of suspicion, he first attacked innocent strangers and then eliminated his real target.
but……
Sun Shaozong always felt that there was something strange about it.
If the murderer wanted to clear himself of suspicion, he could have adopted a more covert method, such as attacking from behind - in this way, Qin Kejian would not have suspected that the crime was committed by an acquaintance from the beginning.
Furthermore, if it was an acquaintance who did it, what would be the motive?
Jin Yichuan was in the business of confiscating property and exterminating families. If the person had an obvious motive, he would not let the other party get close to him with a weapon without being on guard at all.
"So, the three dead people were just a cover?" Shen Lian asked anxiously, "His real purpose is to clear himself of the suspicion of killing Yichuan?!"
"Maybe that's the case." Sun Shaozong said, "No matter what, you guys should first investigate secretly to see if anyone has forged an alibi."
After a pause, he continued, "If necessary, we can try to find Mr. Qin to cooperate. He should not give up his speculation so easily, and he is probably investigating secretly."
When Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian heard this, they knew that Sun Shaozong was preparing to say goodbye and leave.
They all bowed together and said, " Thank you for your help! You have been working hard in the Imperial Examination Hall for many days. Please go back and have a good rest. We will come to bother you again when we find some clues."
"It's not really a bother."
Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said, "I have some friendship with Yichuan, and investigating the case is my job. The dead cannot be brought back to life, so please accept my condolences."
