"Of course I know this. I'm just making a metaphor. If you find the place where the person threw the corpse, you may be able to find his footprints. You can also judge the strength of the person from the location where the corpse was thrown and the distance from which the corpse fell and rolled. And his height." Song Wuya was very helpless, so he had to waste some saliva and said something again.
This time, when he said that, the yamen servants stopped laughing.But obviously they still don't believe that Song Wuya can be so amazing.Of course, Song Wuya is also very clear that many of the knowledge he uses are things that do not exist in this era.
"Okay, don't stand still! What I said is true and false, we will find out when the case is solved." Song Wuya was a little annoyed, he really didn't want to explain too much to these people.If they had a learning attitude, then Song Wuya would be patient, but these people did it because they questioned his ability.As he said that, he turned his head to look at the leader of the yamen servant, and asked coldly, "I don't know, brother yamen servant, do you still remember what the magistrate told you before he left?"
How could he easily forget the magistrate's explanation? When Song Wuya reminded him, his face immediately changed, and he said sternly: "Listen, everyone, follow Mr. Song's instructions. When looking for blood around here, you must be special. Just be careful."
They still heard the boss talking, and immediately these people began to search carefully.
Song Wuya looked at the messy footprints on the ground, one by one, and gradually checked the places where the body parts fell.
He knew very well that the damage to the scene must have been caused by the government officials and the surrounding villagers.But these people must be gathered together, that is to say, not all places in this scene will be like that.
Now, Song Wuya has no way of judging how many people threw the corpses.But in this first case, although the number of corpses found was the least, it was definitely not something that one person could do. Unless it was transported with tools, otherwise they would definitely dispatch more than one manpower.
Ancient times were different from modern times. They didn't have plastic products, so if they wanted to use sealed things to transport these dismembered corpses, there were very few tools they could use.
This is the south, unlike many places in the north, where whole sheepskin can be used to make bags, and the sealing effect is still good.But even so, there is absolutely no guarantee that there will be no blood left.
What's more, after the body was dismembered, so much blood was still flowing out on the ground after throwing the body here.It was obvious that they threw the corpse here shortly after they decomposed it.
Judging from this point, they didn't have time to completely clean up the blood on the corpse, or they didn't have such considerations at all.
Of course, this kind of thing was only the first case, and the following three times all happened on the official road, where a lot of blood was flowing, and it was completely used to scare others with dazzling blood.
Such a difference is an unusual relationship. In the first case, the corpse was thrown here just to keep the villagers away from it?
Chapter 437 The Location of the Throwing Corpse
?Chapter 437 The location of the corpse
Song Wuya searched everywhere, but the final result left him stunned.
Originally, he thought that there were so many corpses, all of which were thrown here, and ordinary people would naturally not walk around at will in this scene.At most, those yamen servants walked back and forth a few times, and there must be some discoveries in this fringe place.
But he looked at all the places, but found that there were messy footprints everywhere. The only place that was spared was the place near Xishan, but there was no footprint at all in that place. After all, the murderer was heading from the direction of the village to Xishan. While throwing the body parts over.
"Did you find anything?"
After such a while, the yamen servants did not move at all, and no one came to report to him what they found. Song Wuya couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, so he yelled at them and asked them a question.
Those yamen servants straightened up one after another, shook their heads violently, and did not bring any good news to Song Wuya.
Looking at this situation, what else could Song Wuya say, obviously it was too difficult to find the clues he just mentioned.
"Young Master Song, there are discoveries here."
When Song Wuya was frowning, a government servant not far away suddenly shouted and waved to Song Wuya.
Song Wuya paid attention to his feet and walked over immediately.
"Song Gongzi, do you think this is a discovery?" The yamen servant pointed to a footprint on the ground and said.
Hearing this, Song Wuya immediately squatted down and looked at the ground carefully.
The yamen servant next to him explained: "Mr. Song, look here. This footprint is different from most other footprints. It doesn't look like it was left by a person walking normally."
"That's right, you're right, what do you think?" Song Wuya immediately became interested when he saw this strange footprint.
Asked by Song Wuya, the yamen servant didn't have his own thoughts, and said directly: "This is very similar to a lame man I've seen before. The crippled foot dragged on the ground when he walked. But this footprint looks It's not quite like..."
Although he has an idea, his idea is just a little bit of judgment.
But this footprint made Song Wuya see hope. He smiled and said: "You are right, it is indeed what you said. But this is not left by a cripple walking. No other footprints of the same kind were found?"
"I didn't see it." The yamen servant shook his head. If he had seen it, he would definitely not think the footprint was unusual, and would think it was left by the cripple. "It's because I didn't see any coherent footprints, so I don't think it looks like a cripple left behind."
"That's right, this is not left by a cripple. This footprint is made by a normal person deliberately trying to touch something on the ground. And from what it looks like, it was made in a hurry." Song Wuya smiled and explained: "Look around here again, I think there must be other footprints that have been dragged like this. In addition, tell the other brothers and let them pay attention."
The yamen servant took the order and immediately went to inform other people.
Song Wuya stared at the footprint, let his body stick to the ground, took a breath and blew towards the footprint.
After repeating this several times, Song Wuya found a few small clods in the loose soil next to the footprint.
He picked up one of the mud clods, rubbed it into powder with two fingers.The soil inside the mud was black, and when he put it down to his nose, he could smell a faint smell of blood.
"Interesting!" Song Wuya's face suddenly showed a smile. He watched the yamen servants in the distance busy looking for him, and he already had a guess in his heart. "Throwing corpses is not something that can be done in a fair manner. The murderer must have chosen at night or in the evening. After all, this place is not in the wilderness, and there is a village not far away. Then these murderers will definitely not be able to return that night. And it was dark at night, the reason why they chose to throw the body parts out one by one, it should be that the body parts were packed in a container, and it was too heavy, so they didn't want to take too much effort. But at that night, they didn't think that it would Let bloodstains be left on the ground, thus exposing the location where they threw the corpses. This must be later, when the government came to investigate here, these people came to the scene taking advantage of the confusion, and touched the bloodstains that were originally left on the ground one by one. "
Such an inference is logical, and judging from this point, the murderers must have come to the scene for the second time, and then touched the blood.In addition, apart from the people from the government, those who were able to blend in with the crowd at that time must be more people from this village.
"It seems that I have to visit the old village chief."
Song Wuya thought in his heart, because he knew very well that when the two of them went to the village that day, they were treated like that by those villagers.It is conceivable that although these villagers may not dislike outsiders at the time of the incident, they can definitely notice the strange faces among them.
The visitors from the government are easy to identify, they all wear the unique uniforms of the government, and those who are outside of this should be the murderers.
Time passed quickly, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, this hour was not completely wasted. With the efforts of the yamen servants, they found many such footprints.And under Song Wuya's inspection, it was not wrong at all with what he speculated.From these footprints to divide the route, they soon found eight different locations for throwing the corpses.
"Young Master Song, there are eight murderers?" The chief yamen servant looked at Song Wuya in surprise and shouted.
Song Wuya frowned, he didn't think there were only a few murderers.If there were only eight people, how would the 26 people who died in the fourth case be explained?Could it be that these 26 people let these eight people be killed without any resistance?Obviously impossible, unless these people couldn't move at all at the time.
"That's right! I suspected that there was an insider in this case. Could it be that those people got together to eat and drink before leaving, and they were poisoned?" Song Wuya immediately had a new idea when he thought of this.
He put this idea in his mind, looked up at the chief yamen servant and said, "Eight people kill 26 people, do you think it can be done?"
"Why is this impossible? Eight murderers with murder weapons can't kill 26 unarmed civilians?" The yamen servant said disapprovingly. In his opinion, this is completely possible.
Of course, Song Wuya didn't think it was impossible, he just turned a corner and answered the question of the chief yamen servant.It's just that I didn't expect that the head of the yamen servant was so stubborn that he even refuted it.
In this world, although small sharp weapons such as daggers are sold by merchants, larger swords are controlled, and ordinary people will not have them.Of course, even in the civilized society he lived in, where guns and ammunition are controlled, there are still guns and ammunition, and there are always some people who will find a way to get them.
As for cold weapons, it is even easier to get them, all you need is a blacksmith.
"What you said is correct, but the possibility is extremely small." Song Wuya didn't explain too much, but just refuted what the yamen chief said.
The head of the yamen servant was excited, and immediately said: "As long as you surround them, there will be more than 20 more, and you can still kill them all. It's not like Mr. Song didn't know that those people who ran back at that time were all frightened crazy!"
The yamen servant's explanation made Song Wuya almost unable to refute, what he said was absolutely correct.
As the situation shows, those people are not ordinary people holding swords, but mountain gods and generals who are more than ten feet tall.
Unable to help, this made Song Wuya gasp.
"You're right, let's stop talking about this. Draw the locations where the corpses were dumped, and don't forget to draw the places where the corpses are distributed, and mark the footprints of the smears. In addition Write down all of our discoveries today, and take them all back to the magistrate for review." Song Wuya didn't want to argue with this yamen servant any longer, and after explaining this, he immediately said: "If you do all this well, Just go to this village, find the person who reported the crime, and take him to the village chief's house."
