"Both the deceased Li Fang and Zhang Qingsheng have no contradictions. Jia Bing, who abducted Zhang Qingsheng, is still serving his sentence. Have all our previous investigations taken a detour? Is this really a case of robbery and murder? The suspect has nothing to do with the deceased. Relationship?" Ye Qian sat back in the car dejectedly.
"Impossible. If there was no intersection between the suspect and the deceased, it would be impossible to take Zhang Qingsheng away, and it would be impossible to cause so many resistance wounds on the hands of the deceased. Taking a step back, if the suspect really It was for money. Seeing such a family environment, it was impossible to choose the deceased's home as the target of the crime. Even if the theft was discovered, he would not kill anyone and silence him. Our previous analysis was definitely correct. The suspect and the deceased must have known each other. Maybe they were We overlooked some details." Brother Ming explained to Ye Qian patiently.
"Which detail is it?" Ye Qian held her chin with her right hand.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Ye Qian poked me with her elbow.
"Huh?" Ye Qian poked me like this, and I came back to my senses.
"Is there something going on?" Brother Ming caught something strange.
"Brother Xian, when you were investigating the scene, did you notice the rice scattered on the ground beside the bed of the deceased?" I did not answer Brother Ming's question, but asked the question to Lao Xian.
"It seems yes" Lao Xian recalled carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, there is!"
"Do you think this is in the city? In the countryside, it is not unusual for the house to not sweep the floor for several weeks. What's so strange about rice on the floor?" Fat Lei didn't care.
"If I remember correctly, the rice grains on the ground are long and slender, it should be glutinous rice, and when gathered together, it should be about the size of an adult handful."
"Nuomi? Is there a saying in this?" Ye Qian opened her mouth and asked.
"I didn't take this seriously before. Just now Huang Yuee made it very clear that Zhang Qingsheng usually bought ready-made food for the deceased to eat. He didn't know how to cook. Logically speaking, there should be no raw glutinous rice in the deceased's home. Yes." I expressed my doubts.
¡°If you put it this way, this case can be determined directly!¡± Brother Ming came to a conclusion resolutely.
"What?" We were all shocked by his words. Because a handful of glutinous rice is decisive, we really don¡¯t know why Brother Ming is so sure.
¡°When handling a case, we must not only respect science, but most importantly, we must understand our local customs and habits.¡±
We all pricked up our ears. Fat Lei immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road. Ming Ge was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around to face us and explained: "In our rural area on the outskirts of Yunxi City, people are very superstitious about ghosts and gods. Glutinous rice itself has the effect of detoxification. In the older generation, glutinous rice was used to cure diseases and save lives. It is because of its properties that the efficacy of glutinous rice became so miraculous that it was finally recognized that glutinous rice can exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits. This is one of them."
"Secondly, it is said that after death, the soul leaves the body in the order of head first and then foot, which is a scene often played in movies. If you sprinkle a handful of glutinous rice on the head of the deceased, which is the head of the bed, you can prevent the ghost from leaving the body. Entanglement.¡±
"I also noticed the detail that Xiaolong recalled just now. There was indeed a handful of glutinous rice on the bedside. Because the room was too dark at the time, I didn't take it seriously. Now that the case investigation has reached this level, we might as well use this as a breakthrough. This handful It is very likely that the suspect brought the glutinous rice here. His purpose of bringing the glutinous rice was very clear, which was to scatter it on the bedside after committing the crime. In other words, the suspect's real motive for committing the crime was to kill people and silence them. Since this person knows so much about the customs here, Then he is most likely a local of ours.¡±
After listening to Brother Ming¡¯s analysis, we admired him very much.
"It just so happens that all the investigation tools are in the car, Jiao Lei, now go to the crime scene and re-investigate the scene."
"clear."
In just a few cigarettes, we once again arrived at the home of the deceased Li Fang.
At this time, there is sufficient light outside, and there is no need to observe indoor shoe prints for re-examination (if you want to observe clear shoe prints, you must do it in a dark room). We simply open all the windows on the wall, which will help to better discover the initial Traces missed during the site survey.
Under the strong light, the few of us focused all our attention on the bedside.
Lao Xian picked up a grain of glutinous rice with tweezers and observed it carefully under a magnifying glass. Then he said:
"There is little dust attached and the glutinous rice is relatively fresh. It does not look like it has been piled here for a long time. It is highly likely that the suspect brought it here."
"Huh?"
I suddenly made a major discovery?
"What's wrong, Xiaolong?" Brother Ming looked at me curiously.
"Brother Xian, magnifying glass!" I stretched out my hand in front of Lao Xian. Without delay, he placed his high-power magnifying glass in my hands.
"Don't come near this area, I discovered the situation!" After hearing what I said, everyone else took a few steps back consciously.
I lay on the ground holding a magnifying glass and looked back and forth.
"Brother Ming, look! There are skin prints here!" I placed the magnifying glass on a relatively flat piece of soil and pointed at the image of the convex lens.
"Are they caused by forehead wrinkles?" Brother Ming asked tentatively.
"There are two more grid marks here!" I didn't answer, but moved the magnifying glass to another position.
"The traces caused by kneeling on labor cloth pants?"
"Xiaolong, are you saying that the suspect knelt and kowtowed to the deceased?" Even Ye Qian, who was the slowest to react, understood, and the others obviously knew what I wanted to express.
"The mark is very fresh, and the skin pattern mark is far away from the two grid marks. It is obviously left by an adult. Zhang Qingsheng disappeared before the death of the deceased. This is definitely not left by him, and this mark is on Next to this pile of glutinous rice, Ye Qian was right. After the murder, the suspect not only scattered a pile of glutinous rice on the ground beside his bed, but also knelt down and kowtowed to the deceased. The skin marks on the ground overlapped. In other words, the suspect kowtowed to the deceased more than once."
"It's three!" Brother Ming said with certainty.
"Three?"
"right!"
"Is there something special about this?"
"This custom is based on Buddhism. There is a saying in Buddhism that there are three sticks of incense before the Buddha. One of the three sticks is for the past life; the second is for this life; the third is the cause of the previous life and the result of the future life. According to our local funeral etiquette, generally Guests who come for the funeral will only bow, and those who kneel down three times can only be relatives of the deceased. However, according to our investigation, the few relatives of the deceased are not qualified to commit the crime, so the suspect and the deceased may not be related. If you are not a relative, in some cases you will kneel down three times!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
