Cheng Luojie said: "There is no doubt that this beast Wu Qi did it!"

Leng Yi shook his head: "If verification proves that Wu Qi was indeed out for three days and only came back today, we can basically rule out that he did it."

Cheng Luojie wondered: "Why?"

"The deceased was not just killed, because the corpse had already developed rigor mortis, and rigor mortis had spread all over the body. This means that the corpse had been dead for at least six hours, but not more than twelve hours. At that time, Wu Qi had not yet

return."

Cheng Luojie was even more surprised: "Can you tell when the deceased was killed from rigor mortis?"

"Yes, but this is only an approximate time. To determine a more accurate time of death, we must make a comprehensive judgment based on the temperature of the corpse, the degree of turbidity of the cornea, and the condition of the corpse spots."

"Yes?" Cheng Luojie's eyes shone with admiration. "You know so much."

"This is basic common sense for solving crimes. You must know it. I learned it from Wu Zuo."

"A great old man took the initiative to ask for advice on autopsy. I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire Song Dynasty!"

Leng Yi smiled faintly and said, "However, there is one thing that is very strange."

"What's up?"

"The deceased's body spots were very slight and light."

"This shows what?"

"Under normal circumstances, only when there is massive blood loss, there will be few or no body spots. But I just checked and found that there were no external injuries on the deceased except abrasions caused by resistance. There was no blood on the ground.

That is to say, the deceased did not die from massive hemorrhage. But why there are so few spots on the body, I haven’t figured out yet.”

"You'll understand when you catch the real culprit!" Cheng Luojie said, "Although Wu Qi didn't do it, his attempt to rape a woman is also a crime!"

"That's right. He at least attempted rape. Because he thought the deceased was still alive and committed the rape, it is still a crime of rape, but because the victim is dead. It is an attempt that cannot be committed by the target."

Cheng Luojie looked at him with wide eyes. Naturally, she didn't understand Leng Yi's theory of modern criminal law. However, she used to be the queen's personal guard and didn't know much about the criminal laws of the Song Dynasty, so she didn't hear anything wrong.

Come.

Cheng Luojie said: "Then if Wu Qi didn't do it, who could it be? Could it be the shopkeeper Naguan? He killed someone because he was worried that the adultery would be exposed?"

"Wu Qi just said that shopkeeper Guan left two days ago to restock the goods. If it is verified to be true, he is not a criminal."

Cheng Luojie frowned and said, "Could it be the other two guys who did it?"

"It's possible that they had time to commit the crime. However, if they did it, why didn't they dispose of the body in two days? Instead of leaving the body on the shopkeeper's crib?"

"Yeah, it's really strange. Could it be the flower-picking thieves who are running around committing crimes?"

"If this woman was raped and murdered in her own home, the possibility is very high, but if she died in the coffin shop room, the possibility is very small."

Cheng Luojie said: "This is the place where Shopkeeper Guan committed adultery with the deceased. In fact, the biggest suspect should be Shopkeeper Guan. Unfortunately, he left two days ago. And the deceased has only been dead for six hours. - No, six hours.

An hour ago, it must have been daytime. At that time, the two clerks from the coffin shop were in the shop. The murderer was killing the woman in the back room. Didn't they hear it? When did the woman come? "

Leng Yi said: "Yes, many situations are still unknown and the suspect cannot be identified. Now we need to visit as many surrounding areas as possible to find as many clues as possible."

"Yes. For example, in this shopkeeper's case, he can use the excuse of going to purchase goods, but in fact, he quietly returns to commit crimes, kills his mistress, and then leaves quietly."

"The possibility you mentioned does exist. We must find Shopkeeper Guan as soon as possible and verify his whereabouts this day."

The police officer who went to shopkeeper Guan's house to check it out came back and said that shopkeeper Guan had not returned since he had gone out to purchase goods, and his wife had brought him.

Shopkeeper Guan's wife Luo Shi had already heard about this incident from the Yamen's police officer. When she found out that a young woman had died naked on the bed in the back room of her coffin shop, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. However, she had a sinister look on her face and could not see clearly.

come out.

Luo Shi said politely to Leng Yi: "A common woman pays homage to the eldest master."

Leng Yi said: "Go and see the woman who died in your coffin shop and see if you recognize her."

Luo Shi agreed, tremblingly walked over, took a look, quickly turned away and came back, shaking his head and saying: "The woman didn't know this person. I don't know how she died in my coffin shop."

"The person who discovered the body was Wu Qi, the clerk at your coffin shop. He said he saw your husband committing adultery with the deceased and meeting here every three days. Do you know this?"

"Ah?" Luo Shi's eyes widened. Even though such a big thing happened, Luo Shi still spoke so softly and slowly. She didn't sound like she was in a hurry. In fact, she was about to get angry. "No wonder I always

I think he has always been in a good mood during this period, and he likes to dress up. He also has a smell of rouge powder that is different from mine. It is the kind of inferior rouge gouache. I thought he went to Chunlu to find the kiln sister.

But you are fooling around with this shameless bitch? Oh no, maybe this bitch seduced my man. That must be the case. My man is still very responsible. Unless someone seduces him, it is impossible to do such a thing.

.——Where is Wu Qi? Wu Qi! Wu Qi!"

Luo Shi had tried her best to shout loudly, but her soft-spoken voice sounded like she was summoning her lover.
