Chapter 152 Serial Case

Situ Ce extracted the blood sample of this person for blood type identification, but it was type A, which was different from the semen blood type of the deceased Long's **. In other words, it can be ruled out that this person was the murderer of the Long's murderer, but another rape case by chance.

Situ Ce had no choice but to order his return to the county town.

When they returned to the county town, it was already dark. Situ Ce immediately went to the study to check the results, which disappointed him very much, and no fingerprints were found on his clothes!

Whether a person's fingerprint can be left on an object and how long it will last has a lot to do with the nature of the object. Textiles are originally a bad carrier of fingerprints, and fingerprints are not easy to be left. In addition, time can also cause the sweat stains in the fingerprint to evaporate and cannot be detected. Therefore, it is normal to not find the fingerprint on the clothes.

If it was another case, Situ Ce wouldn't care, but this was a case involving his marriage with He Lan Bing, so he had to care. Now, there was no fingerprint on the clothes, He Lan Bing's uncle would definitely think that he had not done his best, but he was afraid that he would cause many troubles. Thinking of this, Situ Ce was overwhelmed.

The next morning, Situ Ce went to see it again, but he still couldn't find any fingerprints. Situ Ce was completely disappointed. He couldn't think of any more solutions, so he had to bite the bullet and go to see Duan Ping.

Duan Ping heard Situ Ce say that he had exhausted all the methods and could not find his fingerprint, but said nothing, but just put away his robe, looked at him coldly, and then returned to the capital.

Duan Ping's failure to speak is even more heartbreaking than speaking, and Situ Ce is even less confident. He couldn't help but sigh.

Helanbing lay down at the head of the bed, looked at him, waved his hand, let him sit by the bed, and whispered: "Don't care, my uncle is like this, he is cold to everyone, he is not intentionally doing this to you."

"He did it on purpose!" Situ Ce said, "He hated me because the Liu'er he liked stayed in my house, so he went against me everywhere."

He Lanbing glanced at him and said, "Well Liu'er, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do? I'll find someone to marry me at that time."

After saying this, Situ Ce felt as if he was pulled by a little hand again.

Helanbing smiled, leaned gently on his shoulder, and said, "When you pass the imperial examination, you will propose marriage, okay?"

After the imperial examination, Situ Ce smiled bitterly. Now he was still confused about the Four Books and Five Classics. How did he get to the exam? He turned his head and kissed her hair, saying, "Will your parents agree?"

He Lanbing looked up at him: "You propose marriage first, so I can tell my parents, what if you don't propose marriage, what do you mean? Others thought I really couldn't get married anymore, so they insisted on finding you!"

Situ Ce smiled, nodded, hugged her gently, and was very intimate, saying, "What if I can't pass the exam? What if I can't pass the Juren?"

He Lanbing was stunned: "If you can't pass the exam once, you will get the exam the second time, and you will eventually pass the exam!"

"By the time we pass the exam, we may be old!"

"I'll wait too when I'm old!" He Lanbing looked at him, his eyes full of sorrow.

Situ Ce knew that it was helpless against fate. Maybe some of them were against themselves and felt that they didn’t work hard. It was no wonder that a scholar who had studied hard for 17 years had such a solid foundation and hired a special private school teacher. It was relatively difficult to pass the provincial examination, so in the eyes of ordinary people, this can only be attributed to the lack of hard work.

Situ Ce hugged Helanbing in his arms, and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he made a decision. In just half a year, even if he didn't sleep day and night, he wouldn't be able to go to high school. Not to mention the provincial examination, I'm afraid that even Tong Sheng's county examination can't pass.

He Lanbing knew that Situ Ce was under great psychological pressure and couldn't bear to add pressure to him. He smiled and said, "How was the case yesterday solved?"

"I caught one, but there should be someone else in the real murderer." Situ Ce told He Lanbing about the passing.

He Lanbing pondered for a moment and said, "I remembered several other cases when I heard about this case, which were from a few years ago. It was also a peasant woman who was working with her head down and was strangled to death by someone who was raped. She was strangled to death with the deceased's belt."

Situ Ce was surprised: "Why don't I know? I have seen all the cases in your cabinet, there is no such case!"

"I locked this kind of case in another small box. I didn't show it to you."

"Why don't you show it to me?"

"These cases are related to the reputation of other women, so they cannot be shown casually, so they are released alone and have not given them to you. They also think that these cases are difficult to solve, so that you can solve those unsolved murders first."

"This is also a murder case! And it is a major case of rape and murder!"

"This kind of case was solved before, which has embarrassed the victim's family. It has not been solved. Now, if it is to make trouble, it is okay if it is broken. If it cannot be broken, the victim's family will be even more sad, and others will laugh at them."

Situ Ce understood that rape cases are very special. They not only put a lot of psychological pressure on the victims, but also put a lot of pressure on the victims' families. Many people do not look at them with sympathy, but use a strange look and pointing in private. Many of them are not out of sympathy. This kind of argument and gaze has a great impact on the normal life of the victims and their families. Some criminal investigation cases in modern society do not pay attention to this point, keep the victims and their families confidential, conduct relevant investigations openly, and even find a unit and school to tell the intention to investigate in front of the victims' colleagues or leaders, which brings great psychological pressure to the victims and their families and seriously affects their normal lives.

Situ Ce said: "You said there are several similar cases. I suspect that these cases were done by the same criminal. I want to check these cases. The best case can be investigated together, so there will be many clues. It will be very helpful for solving cases."

Helanbing gave him the key and said softly: "It is important to solve the case, don't delay your homework! When my injury is healed, I will help you."

Situ Ce hugged her gently and said, "You almost died this time. You are so seriously injured. You have to rest well. Don't worry about these things. I will handle them well. Don't worry, your homework will not be left behind."

The two of them kept warm for a while, and Situ Ce left Helan's house and returned to the yamen.

When you open the cabinet, there are more than a dozen files inside. If you look at the number of files, the incidence rate of sexual crimes in ancient times is much lower than that in modern times, which is also common sense. Not only was there brothels in ancient times for men to vent their thirst, but also because men and women had a very serious defense in ancient times. Many women did not go out of the door, and men did not have the opportunity to contact them. In addition, in ancient times, chastity was far more important than modern times. Many victims would rather knock off their teeth and swallow their stomachs after being victimized than sue the official. Unless someone else knows it and reveals it, there is no way.

Situ Ce took out the files and looked at them carefully. These files were very simple. Most of them were only statements of the victims, and there was no other evidence. Although some cases had descriptions of the criminal's appearance and even portraits, ancient Chinese figure paintings generally had lines, and the fidelity was much different from sketches, so in many cases there was a difference between them and real people. Although the portrait was drawn, the criminal was not arrested.

Several of these cases were indeed as Helanbing said. The peasant woman who was working in the fields was raped and strangled to death with the victim's belt. There was only one case victim, surnamed Chang, who worked in the field and was raped and killed by the thief. However, because the murderer did not pay attention, he put the deceased's collar in a rope. After the murderer left, the victim woke up and struggled, broke free from the collar, and loosened the rope, and then stole his life. These cases were very similar to the case in his hand. Situ Ce took out these cases and studied them carefully.

The victim of the life-threatening case described the criminal's appearance, but there was no portrait.

Situ Ce hurriedly checked the location of the murder in the case, which was in Shuiwan Village, not far from Xietao Village!

Situ Ce's heart moved and immediately checked several other cases that occurred in the fields, found the crime location, which were also near Xietao Village!

Situ Ce immediately ran home and brought the copy map. This map was a topographic map with very accurate terrain, but the towns were only at or above the county level. However, the intelligence collection work of the Japanese pirates was done very carefully, and they had supplemented the locations of all villages and roads on the map. Therefore, this map was actually a modern topographic map plus the Ming Dynasty's village and town road traffic map, which was a combination of the two.

Situ Ce easily found Xietao Village, and then found the crime locations of the same cases one by one. After finding them all, Situ Ce's eyes lit up! - These places are a circle-like shape! The midpoint of the circle is two adjacent villages, one is called Baitai Village and the other is called Zhaojia Village.

There is a saying that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. On the one hand, many people in the same village have relatives and are not convenient for acquaintances to start. On the other hand, it is mainly to prevent being recognized. Therefore, sex crimes are generally not carried out in the village or familiar neighboring villages. However, since ancient rural areas "mainly rely on transportation" and criminals are generally not outside for more than one day. The distance from these two villages to these crime sites is not more than one day, so the suspect is likely to be in these two villages!

Unfortunately, this describes the criminal's appearance but does not have a portrait. Situ Ce was very surprised and found the painter Qi from the yamen.

Situ Ce asked him to look at the case that described the criminal's appearance and asked, "Why is there no portrait in this case?"

Painter Qi smiled bitterly and said, "This man is a little confused and speaks in a mess. Sometimes he says that the murderer is tall and big like a black bear, sometimes he says that he looks like Zhou Cang in Guandi Temple, and sometimes he says that he is a white-faced, just like a treacherous hero in the opera, and he really can't draw."
