Chapter 158 Yang Shan is Qi Wu
Xu Shi's study room is the place where the two children read and practice calligraphy every day, and the furnishings in the room are a bit messy.The tables, chairs, and cabinets were all made of ordinary materials. Chen Chaoyan wanted to split them open to see inside, but after glancing at the two trembling children, she gave up on this idea.
Lingyou couldn't control so much. After snorting twice, he went to Yu Dahong again and brought back Zhang Qiwu's portrait. He asked the women and handymen in the yard one by one, and finally asked Mrs. Yang's parents. .But without exception, they all said they had never seen it.
Upon hearing this result, Chen Chaoyan looked at Mrs. Yang again.Seeing that the expression on her face was the same as before, except for panic, fear and determination, there was nothing else, so she turned and went to the bedroom where she and Yang Shan lived.
The furnishings in the bedroom are also quite miscellaneous.One place in the east and one place in the west, there is no rules at all.Fortunately, Chen Chaoyan didn't have to worry about the two children. Chen Chaoyan was able to walk carefully from the inside to the outside. After she couldn't find anything that could actually prove Yang Shan's identity, she stopped and was about to ask Ling You to get an ax to come in. With great foresight, You came over with an ax on his shoulder.
In the voice of Mrs. Yang asking loudly "what do you want to do", Lingyou raised his ax and chopped towards the chair in front of the coffee table.The chair broke at the sound, needless to say the section was made of pear blossom wood again.
Then, Lingyou chopped off two more chairs and a small table.Without exception, it is also pear wood.
There is no such coincidence in the world.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Qi Wu is Yang Shan, and Yang Shan is Qi Wu!
Although Mrs. Yang refused to accept this reality, it was obvious that Yubaozhai could no longer be opened.
After handing over the work of appeasing Mrs. Yang to Li Deqing, and looking at Xie Xuan who was measuring the size of the inside and outside of the house with steps, Chen Chaoyan's eyes fell on the light screen.
When she judged the direction and route of Qi Wu's escape, she made a choice by comparing the hidden piles in Tangyang County and Juchang County with the distribution of mountains and rivers.Juchang County is better than Tangyang County, mainly relying on the characteristics of Guannong Mountain and the county's mountains and dense forests.
The current results prove that her choice is completely correct.
But Qi Wu's way of hiding was beyond her expectation.
That little boy... shouldn't be called a little boy anymore, he is about the same age as her body, so he should be called a teenager.Although the boy's face is not as similar as the little girl's and Qi Wu's, but there are traces of resemblance between his eyebrows and eyes.
He is also Qi Wu's child.
He is thirteen or fourteen years old.
In other words, Qi Wu's alias was Yang Shan, and he had been married to Mrs. Yang for at least 15 years.
What does this mean?
It shows that Qi Wu had already prepared a way out for himself 15 years ago.
This is not the most critical and terrifying.
The most important and most frightening thing is that no one knows whether he has only this one or several of them!
Assuming there are several, where will the next one be?
Chen Chaoyan's eyes unconsciously fell on the border of Luyang County.
The sheepskin map Xie Xuan gave her was only a map of Luyang County, and only Jinyi County appeared in Tanyang County, which is adjacent to Luyang County.
Chen Chaoyan's gaze slid from the border to Jinyi County, from Jinyi County back to the border, and then back to Juchang County.Zoom in on the map and find Mount Achang where the crime happened.After roughly estimating the distance of Mount Achang, and roughly observing the topography of Mount Achang, she withdrew from the light screen. After Xie Xuan measured the inside and outside areas of the house and confirmed that there was no secret room, she said: "It's still early, I want to go to Mount Achang again, what do you think, my lord?"
Li Deqing had already persuaded Mrs. Yang to come back, Xie Xuan could not call her Wangfei again, so he could only remind her slowly: "Although it is early, but the autumn is getting darker, and it is getting dark earlier than usual. Now that the past is over, nothing can be seen situation, you have to come back.”
"It's okay, let's take a general look today." It was not too late, and she had a light screen, so it didn't affect much.But Chen Chaoyan definitely couldn't say this, so he could only say, "It's not too late to check the details tomorrow."
Xie Xuan looked at her deeply, "If that's the case, let's go."
Yubaozhai was closed and surrounded by yamen servants.
Such a move attracted many people to watch.
Fortunately, Li Deqing was kind, and Mrs. Nian Yang was also a victim, so she closed Yubaozhai and left the backyard for her family to live in.
Coming out of the back door, on the way to the main street through the alley, Chen Chaoyan asked Li Deqing, "Is the crime scene on Mount Achang still there?"
"Yes, yes." Li Deqing said again and again, "Although Juchang County is far away from Luyang County, we often hear about Ms. Chen's autopsy and settlement of cases. Yangshan...it should be Qiwu. After the case of Qi Wu killing Yang Wei and Sun Huairen happened, I imitated Miss Chen’s method of solving the case and let the government officials take turns guarding it. I also told them that as long as the case is not solved, outsiders are not allowed to approach.”
"Master Li's move is extremely wise." Chen Chaoyan praised.
Li Deqing smiled and said, "It's good for Miss Chen."
"Very useful." Chen Chaoyan said.
Achang Mountain is indeed not far from Juchang County. After leaving the city, it will be within two cups of tea.
Compared with other mountains that are tall and deep, Achang Mountain is not high and has unique scenery.Chinese people and elegant scholars in the city often come to enjoy it with wine in spring, summer and autumn.Over the years, a smooth trail has been taken from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.The path is narrow, and it is difficult for ordinary carriages to pass, let alone Xie Xuan's large carriage.
So when they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone got out of the carriage, and walked up the narrow path on foot.
The scene of the crime was in a grass pavilion west of the top of the mountain.
Blood pools and blood footprints spread all over the grass pavilion.
After asking everyone to wait thirty steps outside the grass pavilion, Chen Chaoyan entered the scene alone.
Ten steps away from the grass pavilion, a large pool of blood and blood footprints came into her eyes first.Judging from the blood pool and the blood trails walking back and forth around the blood pool, one of the victims fell here.
Chen Chaoyan squatted in front of the pool of blood, carefully distinguishing the traces and characteristics of the blood footprints.
The crime happened half a month ago, and both the blood footprints and blood pools had dried up, which brought a lot of convenience to her, a rookie in trace inspection.
Putting on the gloves, he took out a ruler, and measured the several blood footprints that were obviously different in front of him one by one.One is eight inches one, the other is seven inches six five, converted into modern yardages is a 44 yards and a 41 yards.
This is the footprint of two people.
Chen Chaoyan looked at the pool of blood, and then looked in the direction of Caoting.
From the grass pavilion to the pool of blood, there are two lines of blood footprints.
One line is coming, and one line is going back.
Both lines of blood footprints are eight inches one size.
It can be deduced from this that the size of [-] inches and [-] is the murderer, and the size of [-] inches and [-] is one of the victims.
Chen Chaoyan got up and swept around along the pool of blood.
There are also many splatters of blood scattered around the pool of blood.
It should have been formed when the murderer stabbed the victim here and the victim resisted.
Chen Chaoyan followed the victim's blood trail, simulated the process of his murder, and then glanced at the flowers and plants on both sides of the road.Sporadic bloodstains can also be seen on the flowers and plants, but not much.After pawing around the bloodstained area for a while, but seeing no evidence, she turned her eyes to the two lines chasing them out of the grass pavilion, and after killing the victim, she turned back to the blood trail in the grass pavilion.
Between the two lines of blood footprints, there is a row of dripping blood.
The trajectories of the dripping bloodstains and the two lines of blood footprints are out of sync.
In other words, the dripping bloodstains belonged to the victim.
After being injured in the grass pavilion, the victim was caught up by the murderer and killed while fleeing.
Following the dripping blood, Chen Chaoyan slowly walked into the grass pavilion while observing.
The starting position of the dripping bloodstain is five steps away after entering the grass pavilion.
And not far ahead of the five-step road, there was another pool of blood.
This pool of blood was on the side of the old low table in the center of the grass pavilion.
Judging from the appearance of the pool of blood, it was formed when the victim fell to the ground after being stabbed by the murderer.
Judging from the splattered blood on the low table with no blank area, the murderer was standing behind the victim.
Walking around the low table, Chen Chaoyan stood beside the pool of blood, looked at the pool of dripping blood five steps away, and then followed the dripping blood and blood footprints, and looked at the pool of blood outside. A pool of blood.
at the same time.
The process of the killing of the two victims gradually emerged in her mind: Qi Wu got up and walked around the low table, unexpectedly took out a dagger and stabbed the first victim in the chest.When the second victim saw it, he immediately got up and fled.Qi Wu quickly caught up and stabbed him, but the knife did not kill him, and the victim continued to flee for his life.Qi Wu followed him out, and stabbed him with a dagger before the pool of blood.
This time, the victim no longer had the strength to escape.
After solving the second victim, Qi Wu turned back to the Caoting, took away the evidence that prompted him to kill, and then escaped along the roadless woods on the left side of the Caoting.
Chen Chaoyan did not rush to find the direction of his escape, but walked in the grass pavilion, looking for possible evidence.In order not to miss the details, she deliberately turned on the light screen to cooperate with the search.
But unfortunately, nothing was found.
After searching around again, but still finding nothing, Chen Chaoyan glanced at the darkened sky, then at the light screen, and returned to the place where everyone was waiting.Asked Li Deqing: "Who is lying outside the grass pavilion?"
"It's Yang Wei." Li Deqing finished his answer quickly, and then asked expectantly, "Did Miss Chen find out anything?"
Chen Chaoyan didn't answer but instead asked: "Master Li has checked, was the reporter the first to find the bodies of Yang Wei and Sun Huairen?"
"I checked." Li Deqing replied, "Qi Wu, Yang Wei, and Sun Huairen were drinking and having fun in the grass pavilion. Many people who came to the mountain to play that day have seen it. According to Zhao Chong, who was the last one to go down the mountain that day , It was already dark the day before he went down the mountain. Seeing them half lying in the grass pavilion, laughing and cursing, they didn't intend to leave yet, so they went up to ask. Yang Wei told him to let him go first, and leave them alone. After that Zhou Mu, who reported the case, has always had the habit of climbing mountains in the morning. On the second day after the incident, he was the first person to climb to the top of Mount Achang. After discovering the murder, he hurried to the Go back to the county seat and report the case to the county government."
"After I received the case, I arranged for the government officials to rush over. When I came, there were three or four people around me, but none of them came close."
Chen Chaoyan said: "That is to say, after you came here, you didn't find any evidence here?"
Li Deqing nodded, "There is nothing but the bodies of Yang Wei and Sun Huairen."
"This is in line with Qi Wu's behavior." After Chen Chaoyan said a few words in a low voice, he sighed, "I didn't find anything either."
"It's okay." Li Deqing said quickly, "Miss Chen came here for the first day, so it's normal if she didn't check. It's getting late, so go back and have a good rest, and continue tomorrow."
Chen Chaoyan nodded in agreement.
When we got down to the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark.Everyone didn't say any more, they all got into the carriage one after another and started to rush back.
When handing the hot tea made by Pinellia to Chen Chaoyan, Yue Jian asked, "Did Miss Chen really find out nothing?"
Chen Chaoyan was planning to go to Mount Achang to search for Qi Wu's escape route after seeing the corpses of Yang Wei and Sun Huairen tomorrow morning, when she suddenly heard her words, she retracted her thoughts and said, "When did I ever deceive you?"
