286 Another Case Comes

Seeing what Zhao Zhitong did, he was also happy, and his grandparents and uncles agreed tacitly.

Come now, I'm afraid the county government has another case.

Sure enough, when the yamen servant came to Zhao Zhitong, he saluted directly and respectfully: "Miss Zhao, there is a case in the yamen, and the magistrate has an invitation."

"Okay, wait for me to get the tools."

Zhao Zhitong didn't shirk, nodded, turned around and went to the backyard, took his autopsy tools, greeted his grandfather and uncle loudly, and followed the yamen servant.

When Zhao Zhitong rushed to the scene of the crime, it happened that Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue also arrived at the scene at the same time.

At this time, Master Wang was imitating Qiao Muchen and deducing the case.

He first walked to the side of the deceased hanging on the beam, lifted the stool that fell on the ground, compared the distance between the stool and the deceased, nodded and said: "It meets the conditions for suicide by hanging."

"However, according to the neighbors, Liu Mazi married into Cheng's family and has been suppressed by his mother-in-law for a long time. Early this morning, Liu Mazi's neighbors heard Liu Mazi and his wife arguing."

"If, for a while, he strangled the mother-in-law to death in a hurry, and finally made it look like suicide in order to get rid of the crime, it is not impossible."

Liu Mazi knelt on the ground, cried and kowtowed: "My lord, Xiaomin was wronged, Xiaomin really didn't kill anyone, it was Xiaomin who went to work and returned home, only to find out that my mother-in-law had hanged herself." On the beam."

County Magistrate Han pursed his lips, thinking about it and did not speak. At this moment, when he looked up, he saw Zhao Zhitong and the three of them came out of the room quickly: "Oh, it's time to come. Come on, take a look."

Qiao Muchen looked at the crowd in the yard, and the messy shoe prints on the floor of the room, as well as all kinds of garbage discarded.

He frowned involuntarily and said, "My lord, why has the scene been destroyed like this? There are messy footprints and litter everywhere. If there is any useful evidence, it has all been destroyed."

County Magistrate Han glanced at the surrounding area, it was indeed a mess, nodded immediately, turned around and gave orders to his subordinates: "In the future, if you find a murder scene, disperse the crowd as soon as possible, pull a rope on the scene, and protect the scene stand up."

"It's adults!"

Only then did County Magistrate Han look at the three of them again.

Master Wang came over at this moment and asked, "Young Master Qiao, is my deduction just now correct?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qiao Muchen hopefully, as if begging for praise.

Qiao Muchen didn't express his opinion immediately, but looked at Liu Mazi who kept wiping his tears and sweat. He was thin and knelt on the ground, trembling. When his eyes wandered, Qiao Muchen deliberately caught his right hand hanging by his side.

Then he glanced at the deceased again. She was obese, and she was twice as big as Liu Mazi.

Master Wang: "Young Master Qiao?"

Qiao Muchen came back to his senses: "What?"

Master Wang chuckled: "How was my reasoning just now?"

Qiao Muchen shook his head: "You are just a speculation, everything has to wait for Tongtong to see the corpse before making a decision."

Master Han hurriedly said: "Miss Zhao, please take a look at the corpse."

Only then did Zhao Zhitong walk up to the corpse, and after inspecting it, he asked someone to put the corpse down from the beam.

Put on the gloves and start the examination: "The deceased's face, swelling and cyanosis, lips and nails are cyanosis."

"Hemorrhage under the conjunctiva of the eyes, bleeding spots of different sizes on the skin of the face and neck. There were obvious rope marks on the neck, and there was no obvious trauma to the body. The cause of death was compression of the neck, strangulation or strangulation."

"The medicine stains remained in the corner of the mouth, the deceased had drunk the medicine before his death."

The lively Master Wang nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, that Liu Mazi's mother-in-law caught a cold, and she went to De Ren Tang to get the medicine yesterday, and there was still a bowl of medicine in the room that was confiscated. There are also medicinal residues."

Qiao Muchen stood aside, looked at the corpse, thoughtfully: "How can a person who wants to commit suicide drink medicine before committing suicide?"

Master Wang hurriedly replied: "That's right, so, this must not be suicide!"

Then he looked at Liu Mazi: "Bold, Liu Mazi still hasn't confessed, your mother-in-law didn't commit suicide at all!"

Liu Mazi felt that the sky was falling: "My lord, I was wronged! I really didn't kill anyone. When I came back, my mother-in-law was already hanging in the main room."

Qiao Muchen was a little dissatisfied with Master Wang's eagerness to draw conclusions, and frowned, "Master Wang, it's too early for you to draw conclusions."

Master Wang was puzzled: "Aren't you sure if it was homicide or suicide?"

Qiao Muchen shook his head, stood up, came to Liu Mazi, and stretched out his hand: "Come, hold my hand with your right hand."

Liu Mazi was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Qiao Muchen. He was a little puzzled, but he did it anyway.

After a while, Qiao Muchen nodded and said, "Okay, let go."

Master Wang followed Qiao Muchen with a puzzled look on his face.

Qiao Muchen stood up, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said flatly, "Liu Mazi didn't kill people."

Master Wang followed behind Qiao Muchen. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Why?"

Qiao Muchen: "It's very simple. Liu Mazi's right hand can't exert any strength at all. Regardless of whether he is the opponent of the fat and strong Mrs. Liu, he has difficulty in just hanging people up."

At this time, some neighbors thought of something and started talking.

"That's right, a year ago, Mazi Liu had a quarrel with his wife, and her mother-in-law hurt her right hand. Since then, Mazi Liu's right hand has been useless, and she can't use any strength."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Han nodded and said, "It seems that the murderer must be someone else."

Qiao Muchen returned to the corpse again and asked, "Tongtong, what other details were found on the corpse?"

Zhao Zhitong nodded: "Yes."

As he spoke, he pulled the corpse's collar away, pointed to a mark on the throat, and said, "Look, here."

Zhao Yue also looked over with Qiao Muchen, and they almost said in unison: "Finger prints!"

Zhao Zhitong nodded: "That's right, the person was strangled to death first, then hung up with a rope, pretending to commit suicide."

"It's just that although the fingerprints are covered by the traces drawn by the rope, they still show their feet."

Zhao Zhitong turned the dead man to another direction, and continued: "This man wears a wrench on his right thumb, and the wrench is on the dead man's neck, leaving marks."

Zhao Yue sneered and said, "This murderer thought he handled it very secretly, but it's a hundred secrets!"

With these details, the evidence, the search for the murderer narrows the scope.

As Liu Mazi recalled, his mother-in-law had a cousin who was ignorant, drank flowers and wine every day, gambled, and got involved in everything.

He's an out-and-out hooligan.

But before his father died, he entrusted him to Liu Mazi's mother-in-law's family.

Therefore, he often came to the house, so Liu Mazi recalled that his cousin wore a ring on his right finger.

The target is just locked.

County magistrate Han immediately sent someone to arrest him. When he was caught, he was still in Wenrou Township inside the brothel.

After being arrested and brought to justice, he still refused to confess. In the end, he was cheated by Zhao Yue a few times, and then he revealed his truth.

The real murderer was caught, and Liu Mazi was spared. He brought his two sons and a daughter, knelt down in front of Zhao Zhitong and the others, and began to kowtow to thank them one by one.
