Chapter 153 150. Legs and riding boots

Riding boots are a necessity in the upper class, especially for military families like Ludwig and his son. In addition to entertainment, horseback riding also has an additional layer of work attributes. The ability to ride a horse determines part of the work ability. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

, Albert must have several pairs of expensive riding boots.

Kawei has seen a lot of gorgeous boots. From the young king in military uniform to the Count Morazo who yearns for the battlefield, he usually wears expensive long leather boots, some even over the knee. They are all well-used.

Made of high-quality leather and handmade by famous shoemakers, each pair can be called a work of art.

But no matter how expensive or exquisite they were, they couldn't be compared with the pair in front of him.

"This guy is really rich." Kawei walked back and forth around the table with his waist bent, looking at the red gems inlaid on the riding boots. "This is the first time I have seen gems inlaid on boots. Aren't you afraid that they will fall off?"

"Our inlay technology is top-notch, and we use the most advanced bezel-setting technology. There is no possibility of it falling off." Helalai, the owner of the jewelry store, said it confidently. "If you don't believe it, you can try it with a sword."

Werther quickly interrupted him: "Does the gem falling have anything to do with the case? Tell me when Albert came to your store."

"As I said before, Mr. Albert came half a month ago and agreed to help him set all these rubies in a week." The boss pushed the apprentice behind him forward, "He came to the shop six days ago.

I picked up the goods and stayed in the store for less than 10 minutes. After looking at the leather boots Schmidt gave me, I paid the balance and left directly."

"Schmidt?"

"Oh, his name is Schmidt, and he is my apprentice."

If the boss hadn't mentioned this name, Kawei wouldn't have noticed that there was another person in the dean's office. The case itself didn't have much appeal to Kawei, but this person reminded him of the time he spent with Ignatz.

Appendiceal tumor removal: "Aren't you Father Yannick's son?"

"It's the adopted son, Doctor Carvey."

"That's right, adopted son." Kawei smiled and asked, "How is the priest's recovery now?"

"Dr. Kawei has excellent medical skills. My father is in very good health now. He has not had any abdominal pain since the operation." Schmidt was in his early twenties and had been working in a jewelry store for three years. "Mr. Albert came to the store.

The boss happened to be out discussing business that day, and I was the one to receive him."

"He took the boots and left?"

"It's less than ten minutes, Mr. Sheriff."

"He came alone?"

"When he first came here, he was alone, but before he left, a girl came to see him." Schmidt recalled the situation at that time, "It was the girl who clamored for him to leave as soon as possible, and of course it was out of trust in our store.

, Mr. Albert just checked it a little and left."

girl

Werther and Kavi looked at each other and both remembered the right hand they had seen in the Marshal's Mansion: "Do you know where they went?"

Schmidt shook his head: "They didn't say anything. As soon as they left the store, they got on the carriage and went south."

The jewelry store is located in the city center, with a large factory area and residential area to the south. The direction of the carriage is difficult to use as a clue to continue tracking. Moreover, there are too many rental carriages in Vienna, and the coachman, unlike the jewelry store, has to receive many passengers every day.

Whether you can remember Albert or not depends entirely on luck.

However, the Yunliwuli case has finally made progress, at least the identity of the victim has been further determined.

"Although there is also the possibility of replacing boots or losing boots." Werther looked at the boots and said, "If nothing else happens, these should be Albert's own legs."

"It's the same technique as before." Kawei looked at the leather boots with some small drops of water remaining, "and the murderer doesn't seem to have any interest in money."

"The bright ruby, the largest one probably costs 30,000 to 40,000 crowns. I was shocked when I first bought it." The owner of the jewelry store said, "Actually, these boots are also very valuable. According to Mr. Albert,

, the original price in Italy was around 10,000 kronor.”

It's really strange that the gems were not dug out. Could it be that the murderer was not short of money at all?

Or do you mean that you don’t know the value of gems at all? Think they are just a common thing?

"Thank you both for your cooperation. If I have any other problems in the future, I will have to go to the store to find you."

"Can we go?"

"Um."

Witte saw off his boss Helalai and Schmidt first, and then took Kawei to the anatomy teaching and research room of the medical school.

At the end of April, the temperature in Vienna began to reach 20 degrees Celsius. After being left beside the bushes for several hours, the calf was easily rotten when exposed to low temperatures. In order to determine the cutting instrument, time and technique as soon as possible, Witte found a medical school as soon as he entered the campus.

Anatomy Teaching and Research Department.

"Did Sheriff Witte find what he was looking for in the drug factory?"

"We already have the list, but the person in charge of this case is Delio. I'm just helping out. Sheriff Delio is still there taking notes one by one, so I'll come back first." Witte said, "This family

The business of the pharmaceutical factory is really good. Not long after I went there, I saw several people who wanted to buy some, and the quantity was quite large."

"After all, they produce all necessary drugs for surgery, and the prices are very cheap."

Kawei did not make too many comments about pharmaceutical companies.

In his eyes, pharmaceutical companies are just a tool to make money and popularize medicines. When money and life are mixed together and become a business, huge profits are also accompanied by various risks. Only by keeping a low profile can you safely and securely

The factory continues to operate.

"I didn't expect that in just two months, you'd already opened your own factory."

"It's all Mr. Laszlo's and his friends' funds. I didn't pay a penny myself."

"I know that you can get a large amount of profit without paying any money. Forget about that, let's talk about the case first." Witte was not ready to break the casserole and ask the end. Anyway, if he asked Kawei, he would not say, "From medicine

Judging from the origins and working hours of the people inside the factory, they seem to have no motive for committing the crime."

"Yes, because it is some distance from the city, the pharmaceutical factory employees all live in the newly built dormitories."

"In the previous week, no employee chose to leave the medicine."

"No."

"Judging from the list of drug purchasers, the acquirers are basically related to hospitals, and can only be the doctors and hospitals who purchased the drugs." Witte was reluctant to believe this, because the word "medical" represents kindness and nobility.

, "But you said before that the murderer is unlikely to be a doctor."

"It's just an inference, not an absolute." Kawei said, "After all, doing these things while crying is very perverted when you think about it."

"We can only wait for Professor Lange's anatomical conclusion."

Kawei also knew that if he went to the anatomy teaching and research room now, he would definitely meet Professor Lange.

Since the last incident in the classroom, the other party didn't like him very much, and he was reluctant to give him an exemption from anatomy. Now that he meets again, he has to say a few words. It's not that Kawei is afraid of him, but he just finds it troublesome.

"Otherwise, I'd better not go." He decided to give up, "There is a small conflict between Professor Lange and I, so it's better not to meet."

"What are you talking about? You are also invited to the marshal's mansion, so why don't you give me some advice?"

"Professor Lange has a very solid foundation in anatomy. It's just a pair of legs. Just go to him." Kawei still had to give the other party the most basic respect. "If I go there, it's just superfluous. It doesn't make much sense."

Werther was not willing to give up.

Years of experience in investigating cases told him that the more consultants there are in the process of investigating a case, the better. Especially in a professional discipline like medicine that is difficult for outsiders to get involved, it is always good to have a few more consultants, and they don't need to pay anyway.

In this way, Kawei was "dragged" into the anatomy teaching and research room in a daze.

This is actually Professor Lange’s office. The entire teaching and research office occupies half of the floor, demonstrating the absolute leadership of anatomy in medical education. Only 1/3 of it is an office area, and the remaining 2/3 is occupied by his private anatomy room.

occupied.

However, considering that the teaching and research building is not large, the area of ​​the anatomy room is larger than Ignatz's anatomy room in the Municipal General Hospital.

"Professor Lange, how is the anatomy of the legs?" Witte asked as soon as he entered the door, "Can you confirm that they belong to Mr. Albert himself?"

"Not yet." Langer said with his back to the door, "But judging from the size of his muscles, he is at least a strong man with a height of about 1.85 meters. There are skin abrasions on his ankles. He should often wear something similar.

boots."

Having said this, he couldn't help but look back, and happened to meet Kawei's eyes: "Kawei?"

"Professor Lange, good afternoon."

"It's still afternoon, it's already six o'clock." Lange put down the scalpel in his hand, showing no interest at all. "You've already exempted yourself from anatomy, so how come you still have time to come to my place?"

"actually."

"I brought him here." Werther didn't want to waste time and continued to ask about the calf, "Can you find out the time of death?"

"I'm not a forensic doctor. The legs have been cryopreserved, so it's hard to say when." Lange replied silently, and then added, "If I were forced to give an answer, it would probably be three or four days ago."

Kawei hurried to the dissecting table and saw the pair of calves in front of him.

There is no need for any muscle judgment. You can basically make a conclusion about a man just by looking at the size of his feet.

"It turned out that the tibial plateau was removed with one knife, and no muscle and skin flaps were made. The incision seemed smooth, but it still left a lot of marks." Kawei briefly described what he saw, and then gave a possible answer.

, "Probably not a surgeon."

Lange added: "It's not like doing anatomy."

What Werther needs is evidence: "Do you have any reason?"

"There was nothing on the incision that indicated surgical skill. I just felt that the entire cutting process was rough and amateurish."

"I think so too." Langer stood with Kawei this time. "At the same time, I also think that with such good anatomical materials in front of me, just cutting off the calf is too wasteful. If it were me, I would definitely
