eighth story

Han Xiangyang wondered: "Xiaofeng, how did you know about this? I don't think I told you about it."

Wu Qinyang said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" He moved a chair from the side and stepped on it to see the evidence that might be left on the beam. As expected, there was a large trace of dust falling off.Han Xiangyang was quite inexplicable about his climbing up and down, and saw that his expression was a little dignified, as if he was thinking about something, so he asked quickly: "Xiaofeng, what's wrong?"

Wu Qinyang couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was like. It seemed that he owed something when he suddenly became enlightened. It's a pity that the current technology is not enough to extract the fingerprints at the scene of the crime. Much easier.Evidence... yes, evidence, Wu Qinyang thought silently in his heart, no matter how reasonable a guess is, it is always a guess. Only then did he realize how important modern criminal investigation technology is, fingerprints, surveillance, forensic identification... …

Wu Qinyang felt a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, and after a long and profound thought, he finally grasped the key point of the matter, which was always the same, Wen Yingying's corpse was always there, and the corpse must be There are traces consistent with her previous experience.But Wen Yingying's murder was at least three months ago. Even if the body could be preserved, it would have been completely changed. Now we can only hope for the post-mortem records kept by the police station.Wu Qinyang rested his chin and thought for a while, then asked Han Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, Wen Yingying's body... Do you know anything more specific? For example, strangle marks, or the location of other wounds on her body kind of..."

Han Xiangyang didn't insist on asking him why, but thought for a while and said, "Wen Yingying's body? I don't know the details. The doctor said that there were both pinch marks and strangle marks on her neck, as if the bones in her neck were still there. It was broken, but the color of the wound before death was different from that of the wound after death, so it was judged that Wen Yingying should have been strangled to death. As for the other wounds on her body...that is, the head, when we arrived that day, she had a head The bandage on her head has come loose, and there is a lot of blood, the doctor said that after the bleeding stopped, she hit her head again, probably during the process of resisting Young Master Yang."

Wu Qinyang heard the faint affirmation in his last sentence, and finally understood why he had made such a big circle, because Han Xiangyang had already made a preconceived mistake when he relayed the case to him.Young Master Yang is a powerful playboy in his family, and Wen Yingying is an actor and actress with a low status. If he is innocent, he will be mistaken for Mr. Yang's love for his son and bribe others to give false testimony, thus ignoring other suspicious details.Han Xiangyang's mentality was exactly the same. He determined that Young Master Yang was guilty based on the doctor's conclusion that he was strangled to death, so he didn't care about the scar that should not have appeared on Wen Yingying's neck, let alone tell himself .

Wu Qin said, "Then how do you explain the strangle marks on Wen Yingying's neck?"

Han Xiangyang said: "Could it be that Young Master Yang didn't do it?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Young Master Yang may have done it, but it won't be Young Master Yang." Seeing Han Xiangyang's bewildered expression, Wu Qinyang then expressed his own analysis, "You think so?" , What did Young Master Yang do that night? He gave Wen Yingying a bracelet, and now his father wants to take the bracelet back, and the things that were delivered to his hands were taken back again. He must feel that Wen Yingying After being wronged, he came here to comfort him. What he had in mind was definitely not murder, so even if he was provoked by Wen Yingying in the end, it was impulsive killing, and it was impossible to have too thorough preparations. And his main thing at the time was The purpose is for the overlord to force his bow. When he was furious, he might not have noticed that Wen Yingying had been strangled or strangled to death by him. Just now you said that the strangle mark should be a post-mortem injury, even if Young Master Yang found out afterwards Wen Yingying is dead, so the first thing he can think of is definitely running away, so how can he continue to strangle Wen Yingying's neck with something? He is a son of a rich family, and he will never be afraid that Wen Yingying will say something about him when he wakes up. Is it a bad word? If you really want to kill someone, it's not his turn to do it himself."

Han Xiangyang nodded and agreed: "It seems to make sense, do you have any other basis?"

Wu Qin said: "I just took a look at the beams, there were marks of being rubbed by something on it, and there were strangle marks on Wen Yingying's neck, so I guess someone hung her on the beams, The purpose is to pretend to commit suicide after being humiliated. Could this person be the murderer of Wen Yingying? Of course, this is my own guess. There is no evidence yet. The traces on the beams may also be Wen Yingying herself You can listen to Uncle Wen and the others on this point. But one thing is certain, when the troupe found Wen Yingying's body, she was lying on the ground with strangle marks on her neck, so after Young Master Yang left, she must have Someone else entered Wen Yingying's room. This person strangled Wen Yingying, and for some reason made a strangle mark on her neck, and then left without anyone noticing. All this happened It was around three...yin time that night. And Young Master Yang had already appeared in the tavern just after the fourth watch, so the real culprit who killed Wen Yingying would not be him."

Han Xiangyang clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! I didn't expect you to be so smart, Xiaofeng!" Then he smiled and said, "What about Young Master Yang, what do you think, Xiaofeng?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Smart or not, don't make fun of me." But he was a little proud of his reasoning in his heart, "As for Young Master Yang's matter... I think it still has something to do with Wen Yingying's case. Since the young master is not the real murderer of Wen Yingying, why did he die? Is it because he ruined Wen Yingying, or is someone trying to avenge Wen Yingying?"

Now in this situation, Wu Qinyang can't say that it was Wen Yingying's ghost who made him travel over to investigate the case, let alone that Wen Yingying killed Young Master Yang herself. There seems to be nothing wrong with Wen Yingying's revenge.Han Xiangyang said: "This idea is a bit interesting. But if this 'Avenger' really exists, does he know who the real culprit is? If he knows, will he kill another person? Also, he What method did you use to kill Young Master Yang?"

Wu Qinyang murmured silently in his heart, "If she knew why she wanted me to do it", she said, "It's possible. The method of killing... I don't know."

Han Xiangyang said: "It seems that we have to go back and discuss this matter with Brother Ye and the others."

Wu Qinyang felt that there should be no other useful clues here, so he planned to leave with Han Xiangyang.The two walked out of the room that used to be the scene of the crime. Hong Ling had already changed into a red gold silk peony cheongsam on her body, with a butterfly bead flower on her sideburns, and a round ruby ​​earring on her left earlobe. , folded his arms, and said to the two with a smile: "Why did you leave so early today?"

Han Xiangyang said: "The matter is over." He said and put the seal on the door again, "Xiaofeng? Let's go."

Wu Qinyang stared at the ruby ​​earrings on her ears for a few seconds and asked, "Which room do you live in?"

Hong Ling raised her hand and pointed at the half-closed door behind her, and lazily said: "This is the only room, what's the matter?"

Wu Qinyang observed the location of her room, and continued: "Do you live alone?"

"Live alone." There was a hint of ambiguity in Hong Ling's smile, "What else do you want to ask Leng Butou?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Did you hear any noise that night when the incident happened?"

Hong Ling smiled and said: "I didn't hear anything, I went to bed early."

Wu Qinyang wanted to ask again, but was pulled out by Han Xiangyang.It wasn't until the two of them walked some distance away from the troupe that Han Xiangyang asked, "Xiaofeng, aren't you interested in her?"

Wu Qinyang said inexplicably: "Huh?" After a while, he couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that if Han Xiangyang really liked Leng Yunfeng, he would be as jealous as his brother, but he was already on Leng Yunfeng's body, and he didn't like it. Knowing the thoughts of the original owner of this body, I can't make troubles for others by messing around, so I just pretended to be serious: "What can I mean to her?"

Han Xiangyang said: "I'm just telling you for nothing, she doesn't look like a serious person."

For a while, the two had their own concerns and stopped talking.

After a busy day, Wu Qinyang finally presented enough evidence in front of Ye Zhao to prove his inference, and clarified the fact that "the real murderer is not Young Master Yang". At least he could get technical and human support from the police station.Wu Qinyang took back Wen Yingying's autopsy report from the doctor, and planned to take it back to study with his brother.It was already time for dinner. Wu Qinyang took a lunch box and ordered a vegetarian dish. After taking stock of Leng Yunfeng's personal property, he gritted his teeth and added an extra braised carp. After returning home, he took the meat from the belly of the fish to his brother. , you exchanged today's harvest with each other.

Wu Qinyang said while eating: "Brother, how is the Yang family going?"

Xuan Jue said: "Master Yang and the second aunt can't see anything wrong at the moment. Their son died, and it's normal to feel sad and angry, but the second aunt's spirit should have been stimulated to a certain extent, and she was talking nonsense Mrs. Yang's attitude is relatively indifferent, and Miss Yang and her brother probably don't have any feelings for each other, so she doesn't feel sad. Young Master Yang spends his time outside and has a bad reputation, but Miss Yang is an improvement Young man, of course the two of them can't talk together, but they live in the same house, and if they look down and see each other, they probably look down on each other in their hearts."

Wu Qinyang wondered: "This Miss Yang is still a progressive young man?"

Xuan Jue nodded, and continued: "The New Culture Movement... It's been about the past two years. Ms. Yang has studied again, and it's a general trend to get involved in the new trend of thought. I went to school with her today and found that she and A few other students have set up a poetry club together. Recently, they plan to print a batch of newspapers that promote advanced Western ideas and distribute them around the school. The money is paid by Ms. Yang, which is not a small amount, but I suspect that there is something wrong with the source of the money .”

Wu Qinyang asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem with money?"

Xuan Jue said: "The situation in the Yang family is more complicated...Let's put it this way, in this family only the eldest wife is the real wife of Master Yang, and the second concubine is just one of his concubines. Young master Yang is the son of the second concubine. According to the previous concubine theory, his status is lower than the children born to the eldest lady, but the eldest lady has only given birth to one daughter in so many years, so the situation is more delicate. Master Yang must hope that his son will inherit his family business, So I have a great preference for Young Master Yang, and I have repeatedly indulged his actions. In contrast, Miss Yang has been neglected. This has directly led to discord between their father and daughter, and at the same time threatened the status of the eldest lady. You went yesterday What was the situation in the Yang family? She was able to blame Young Master Yang for her own death in front of her father, which proved that she did not respect her father very much. As for Master Yang, his thinking is relatively conservative, and he may allow Miss Yang Studying, but she will never be allowed to run a newspaper that promotes democracy, freedom and equality, because the content itself challenges his bottom line, so the money will not be paid by him.”

Wu Qinyang said: "What about the eldest lady? Miss Yang is her daughter, and she will always give her daughter money if she asks for it."

Xuan Jue said: "Ma'am... She is a relatively traditional woman, everything she does is to consolidate her position in this family, but she will not indulge her daughter like Master Yang indulged Young Master Yang. And their maid During the chat, I also mentioned that the eldest lady does not support Miss Yang mixing with those progressive young people. There are also conflicts between their mother and daughter, but it is not as serious as their father and daughter. Miss Yang is sixteen this year. Now is the age of a high school student, this puberty..." He glanced at Wu Qinyang with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Wu Qinyang sighed: "Adolescence..." Thinking back to when I was just in high school, I really liked to mess with Qin Yao in everything, and I feel that the past is really unbearable, "So it is impossible to be the eldest lady? Daughter If she fights against herself, she won't have a good temper. But it doesn't mean that there is a problem with money, what if it's Miss Yang's own pocket money. "

Xuan Jue said: "So I'm not sure, it's just an idea. Ms. Yang needs a sum of money, but she can't get it from her parents, and she can't do laundry and cleaning in exchange for money, so I tend to think that she is Secretly sold some jewelry at home, and exchanged a sum of money to support her classmates to print newspapers."

Wu Qin said: "Could it be that Ms. Yang stole the bracelet from their family? That's not right, Wen Yingying did receive the bracelet from Young Master Yang, otherwise she wouldn't tell Master Yang that the bracelet was lost, she should have said 'He never gave me this bracelet' is right."

Xuan Jue said: "The key to this matter is the bracelet. I just want to prove that Ms. Yang has a reason and the opportunity to come into contact with this bracelet. The rest is hard to say. Because once it is proved that Ms. Yang does not need to raise funds at all, this The inference is untenable, which is equivalent to being completely overthrown."

Wu Qin said: "Let me think about it... But anyway, Ms. Yang must have something to do with Wen Yingying's matter, otherwise she wouldn't be so frightened when she heard the name. I feel that she is guilty. How about it? , I will talk to this Miss Yang tomorrow? I still think she is suspicious."

Xuan Jue said: "Then I can say my ugly words first, and you may not be able to see her when you go."

Wu Qinyang thought to himself that this big family was troublesome, and sure enough, the next day he really got rejected by this Miss Yang, the reason was nothing more than that my lady didn't see outsiders and men and women were different.Wu Qinyang always feels that since the riot two days ago, Mr. Yang has shunned people in their police station, and he doesn't want the female family members to see strangers again. He can't force his way in, so he can only fight Go back home and try to think of other ways.

Wu Qinyang was inevitably a little disappointed, and then remembered the injury report he got back from the doctor yesterday. If he didn't pay attention, he collided with the person who was walking towards him.Wu Qinyang quickly apologized, and heard a timid voice say: "Are you... a cold catcher?"

Wu Qinyang looked up, and found that it was none other than Young Master Yang's personal servant girl, Rou'er.
