Chapter 28 The Broken Earth Bowl
The next day, the setting sun was almost at zenith, and Su Yu had just come down from the roof of the mobile phone store. After hastily eating the breakfast prepared by Miao Xiaofeng, he went to the Fengtian government office.
This time he did not take Miao Xiaofeng with him. Without him, there was a child at home who needed to be taken care of, and now there was also an old man.
Miao Xiaofeng looked at Su Yu's back, and several question marks formed above his head. He didn't know what happened to his master. Since he came back from selling his mobile phone last time, he has been practicing harder than before.
Could it be that he was stimulated by the big girl he set for him last time? It shouldn't be, the master can't be so fragile, right?
"Haha, the Imperial Master is on time."
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Fengtian Mansion Yamen, Zhao Gongming with a fluttering beard was already waiting outside. At this time, he seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
Su Yu curled his lips slightly, the young man was very confident! He cupped his hand and put the file in Zhao Gongming's hand.
"Mr. Zhao arranged it, and Su didn't dare to be punctual. Thank you Mr. Zhao for the dossier. The records are accurate and I have benefited a lot."
"The Imperial Preceptor is polite. I have already reported it to the Ministry of Punishment. Since the matter involves the Imperial Preceptor, the Criminal Ministry has consulted His Majesty and with His Majesty's consent, the Imperial Preceptor can participate in the trial of this case. However..."
He paused and the smile on his face grew stronger.
"But what?" Su Yu asked.
"However, His Majesty said that he will be the guarantee for the bet between you and me, and neither party will be allowed to go back on his word or default on his debt."
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard methodically, and looked at Su Yu with a somewhat gloating expression.
Well, Yin Chun, now we are going to start a public revenge! But fortunately, I have confidence, so just wait for me.
"I wonder where the Imperial Master would like to start?" Zhao Gongming stopped stroking his beard and asked thoughtfully.
Where you start a case can tell how well the person handles the case.
"Go to the scene first." Su Yu's answer was concise and clear, but it made Zhao Gongming's eyes flash with a strange look, something a bit know-how.
The average person here will definitely adhere to the principle of staying close, give priority to questioning the prisoner, and then find flaws in the prisoner's sentences by observing his words and expressions, so as to defeat the enemy with one move.
However, this method is useful for ordinary criminals, but it has no effect on slightly smarter criminals. On the contrary, those who solve the case will be misled by the criminals.
This is what people often say, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
Accompanied by Zhao Gongming and his entourage, Su Yu arrived at Zhang San's home. At this moment, the door of Zhang San's house had been sealed. At Zhao Gongming's signal, a group of government officials and policemen came to the door and opened the seal.
As soon as they entered the door, there was a strong smell of alcohol and musty smell, and all the government officials rushed to catch the door and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves or handkerchiefs.
However, Su Yu didn't take it seriously at all. He neither covered his mouth nor nose, nor circulated his Qi to isolate the smell. He paid attention to details in solving the case, including smell, which was also one of the important details.
Seeing Su Yu's actions, Zhao Gongming nodded and walked into the room without covering his mouth and nose.
Zhang San's residence is quite simple, with three houses in a lane, with the living room in the center, the kitchen on the left, and the bedroom on the right.
In the middle of the living room, a humanoid outline was drawn on the ground. This was where Su Yu was shocked at first. Although the setting of this world is somewhat close to the ancient times of the previous world, the people here have very good attitudes.
Protect site awareness.
"What's the result of the autopsy?" Su Yu turned to look at Zhao Gongming.
"He was hit on the head with a blunt object and died of excessive blood loss." Zhao Gongming said with curious eyes. He had read the file before, so why did he ask?
"Yeah." Su Yu was silent, thoughtful.
According to the description in the file, Zhang San was found dead at home at four o'clock in the morning. According to the description of the person who discovered Zhang San's life and death, the door of his house was wide open at that time, and Zhang San was hung under the beams in the living room.
The person who reported the case thought it was suicide, but according to the Fengtian government inspection and the autopsy, it was found that the back of the head was injured with a blunt object.
There was blood all over the ground at that time, so the Fengtian government office concluded that Zhang San died from being injured by a blunt object and losing too much blood.
Su Yu looked at the blood stain about half a foot square in front of his feet and became suspicious. The brain has the fewest blood vessels in the human body, and there are only a few capillaries in the back of the head.
Not to mention blunt object injuries, even if it is penetrated by a sharp object, the amount of blood that can flow out of the back of the head will not reach such a volume.
According to the test, there were no other injuries on Zhang San's body, so the only source of the blood on the ground could only be other people.
And this other person is probably the real culprit behind this.
It's a pity that there is no DNA testing method in this world, otherwise the matter at hand would be much easier to handle.
Su Yu raised his head and looked at the beams above his head, thinking in his mind why the murderer disguised the person as if he had committed suicide by hanging from the beam.
This is unnecessary. There are traces of blunt object injuries on the head. As long as an autopsy is conducted on the deceased, they will definitely be found. It is obviously impossible to get away with such behavior.
So what is the murderer's purpose?
While thinking, Su Yu accidentally kicked the broken earth bowl under his feet.
According to the file, the earthen bowl was the result of a fight between Zhang San and the murderer, but no blood was found on the broken earthen bowl.
This shows that this earthen bowl is not a weapon for murder.
"Give me two bowls."
Su Yu looked at the khaki wine bottle standing aside, thoughtfully, and said to Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming nodded and arranged for his yamen servants to go out to look for bowls. After a while, the yamen servants came in with two earthen bowls and handed them to Su Yu.
Su Yu picked up the broken porcelain pieces, put them into two bowls, and pieced them together one by one.
"This!" Zhao Gongming looked at the fragments in front of him that could basically be spliced into two bowls, and for the first time he was shocked.
Because there was no blood on the bowl at that time, he subconsciously chose to ignore it.
But now with two bowls in front of him, Zhao Gongming no longer had confidence in himself for the first time.
The existence of these two bowls is enough to illustrate one thing. There were two people in the house at that time, and the two did not start fighting from the beginning.
Instead, he was drinking. This was enough to explain the strong smell of alcohol that everyone smelled when they first entered the room. It was spring, and the room was always closed, so the smell of alcohol was not easy to escape.
But to produce such a strong smell of wine, the only possibility is that the wine bowl or jar was overturned.
So who is the person drinking with Zhang San in the house? Zhang San usually bullies the market and is unruly in the countryside. Except for a few followers who are close to him, most people have little contact with him.
However, in the court, several of Zhang San's followers did not mention that they wanted to drink with Zhang San.
There are only two possibilities for this matter. These followers are lying, or there is someone else drinking with Zhang San.
Upon discovering this, Su Yu and Zhao Gongming looked at each other. The former stepped out and walked out of the house. The latter told a group of subordinates to protect the scene and followed them out.
Well, no, Su Yu turned around and looked at the government officials who were sealing the door.
No, his brain was spinning rapidly, and a clear feeling came from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, to hide it, this is what the murderer wanted to achieve. The murderer hung Zhang San's body in the living room, not to disguise himself as a hanging beam.
It was to let people discover the body as soon as possible, which is enough to explain why the middle door was wide open at that time.
Generally speaking, the later the body is discovered, the more advantageous it is to the murderer. If the person who killed Zhang San is eager for others to discover the body, then he has only one purpose, and that is to cover up something.
As for what exactly the murderer wanted to hide, Su Yu didn't know at the moment. Perhaps he would have a breakthrough after asking a group of Zhang San's followers.
"Master Zhao, you stay here personally and be sure to protect the scene. I will go and interrogate him alone." Su Yu looked at Zhao Gongming with sincere eyes.
Being arranged by Su Yu, Zhao Gongming was about to get angry, but after seeing Su Yu's eyes, he nodded silently.
