"Why do you think so?" Li Qingcha also became interested and asked. "Think about it, the criminal stripped the victim naked but did nothing evil, instead pinching and squeezing him. Isn't this intentional humiliation?" "This one……" Li Qingcha really didn't expect this. Gong Lianxue continued, "In my opinion, it is likely that the master of a certain family wanted to take a concubine, and the first wife killed the beautiful girl out of jealousy. She was still not satisfied, so she desecrated the corpse." Her eyes sparkled, and she seemed to have composed a ten-thousand-word essay in her mind. "If He Wants to Take a Concubine, I Will Kill Him! The Growth History of a Sickly Wife" Li Qingcha: ... Girls' minds are indeed more open in some aspects. “It shouldn’t be a humiliation.”
"why?" "Put yourself in the shoes of the murderer~" Li Qingcha said, "The purpose of humiliation is to make people lose face. You must be able to write the word 'face', right?" Asking this question is a reminder to consider these two words literally. Gong Lianxue was very smart and understood immediately. "You mean, the murderer didn't need to cover the body with a hood?" "Yes." "Ah...this..." The girl fell into deep thought. At this time, Captain Zhao said, "Mr. Li is a master at solving cases. As expected, we still have to rely on you! Come on, let's go to Jingzhao Prefecture." Li Qingcha said in bewilderment: "I haven't agreed yet." "Weren't you solving a case just now?" Li Qingcha: ??? Chapter 41 Unsolved Case Near Jingzhao Prefecture, Mortuary. Li Qingcha finally took the job. Captain Zhao did not force her, nor could he force her. She was willing to come. The real reason was actually the Daxiangguo Temple that appeared in the conversation. She always felt that there was a vague connection between several recent events. Feng Weiqi bowed and said, "Mr. Siwei."
This is how scholars in the capital now call Li Qingcha. Li Qingcha bowed, "Lord Feng, I am too embarrassed." Feng Weiqi smiled, but did not dwell on this topic any further. He respected Li Qingcha, not only because Li Qingcha could make flowers bloom everywhere and monuments stand in the forest of monuments, but also because the person who ordered him to let Li Qingcha investigate this case was of great importance. If that person hadn't asked for confidentiality, Feng Weiqi would have said, "Mr. Siwei has someone in the palace, why should he be so modest?" Now, he just turned the topic to business. "Mr. Siwei, can you take a look at the body?" Li Qingcha nodded. The coroner next to him immediately lifted the white cloth covering the body. The smell is very strong. Li Qingcha and Gong Lianxue covered their noses with their hands. "Use some ginger and garlic." The coroner handed over a small plate filled with various ingredients for removing fishy smells. "Maybe it can help." Li Qingcha took a few cloves of garlic, After chewing, the spicy taste filled my nasal cavity, which really made me feel better. She began to observe the body. The situation was basically the same as Captain Zhao's description, with finger marks, pinch marks, and obvious bruises. "It should have been caused during his lifetime." Li Qingcha said. "You are right, sir." The coroner at the side nodded vigorously and put away his contempt for Li Qingcha. "Was the cause of death strangulation?" "It's also possible that she died of starvation or mental exhaustion, because the finger marks on her neck were not heavy and did not appear purple. With such finger force, it would not be enough to strangle a strong person to death. But the deceased was a delicate woman, so it's hard to say." Li Qingcha nodded and observed the corpse again. "The interesting thing is the hood. When I heard Captain Zhao say that just now, I thought it was really... Tsk, now it seems that it is clearly a silk garment or tablecloth, which the murderer temporarily used." Everyone was quiet, watching Li Qingcha circling around the corpse. suddenly, "Was the hood put on while he was alive?" she asked. The others looked at the coroner. The coroner coughed lightly, "This..."
"Not sure yet?" “That’s not certain.” "The simplest method I can think of is to look deep into the nose and mouth to see if I can find any silk fibers hidden deeper... er... I mean silk fragments." The saliva from the struggle before death would inevitably wet the hood, and it is possible that a small amount of fiber could be inhaled or swallowed. Of course it is impossible after death when the breath stops. The coroner said: "The problem now is that we still don't know the true identity of the deceased. Without the consent of the family, we can only conduct a superficial autopsy." No wonder the cause of death was unclear just now. Li Qingcha couldn't help but frown. She had read the files and knew that the body was found two days ago. But Jingzhao Prefecture has not received any reports of missing persons so far, which means that the victim is either not from the capital, or her family members do not care or do not know whether she is dead or alive. If the identity of the deceased is unclear, it is impossible to investigate the case from the perspective of relatives and friends. It will probably become an unsolved case. In this case, Jingzhao Prefecture should keep the body in the morgue for seven days, and after making sure that no one has claimed the body, bury it in a mass grave. The case should be concluded as one of murder and robbery by a bandit. Li Qingcha couldn't understand why Feng Weiqi specifically asked him to investigate the case himself. She said, "Try using chopsticks." The coroner was stunned for a moment, "Try what...ah...I know. But will it work?" Having said that, he still found thin chopsticks and tried to find silk fibers in the dead man's nasal cavity and mouth. Gong Lianxue asked, "Is this important?" Li Qingcha said: "I think it is quite important." She pointed to the lower half of the body. "The absence of 'traces' does not mean that the deceased has not been violated." Hearing this, Gong Lianxue began to imagine again. "Wearing a hood and doing that, could the murderer really have a special fetish? Although our Yicuilou has been doing uniform temptation recently, we have never launched such a wild project." The girl murmured to herself. Li Qingcha: “…” Captain Zhao: “…” Feng Weiqi: “…” The several grown men present (excluding Li Qingcha) were left speechless by the girl's sudden and nonsensical words.
"Ahem..." Captain Zhao coughed awkwardly, "Mr. Li, there are clearly no 'traces', so how can it be considered an invasion?" "Oh, Captain Zhao often visits brothels, but he doesn't understand this?" Li Qingcha asked. Captain Zhao glanced at Feng Weiqi secretly. Master Feng shifted his gaze to the outside of the door, as if he suddenly became very interested in the old locust tree outside the mortuary, and acted as if he could not hear the conversation between the two. We are all men, who hasn’t been to a brothel? Feng Weiqi was afraid of getting into trouble. Captain Zhao blinked. "Mr. Li, do you mean... to use tools?" "I can only say that this possibility cannot be ruled out." "Then how should we ..." "..." The two of them suddenly looked at Gong Lianxue who was standing beside them. stare-- Gong Lianxue: ??? "You want me to examine the body?" "Ah." "But……" "Miss Gong," Li Qingcha suddenly changed to a tear-jerking voice, "Think about it, a woman who lives alone in the inner chambers and can only go out a few times a year, might be looking forward to going to the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings so that she can go shopping and buy some things she likes. That day, she dressed up beautifully, even wearing earrings, and went out with joy, but the result..." "Stop talking, stop talking. Can't I just check it out?" Gong Lianxue glared at Li Qingcha fiercely. She no longer considered the problem of breath. She took a few garlic cloves and chewed them vigorously. Then she picked up the test stick and held a piece of ginger in her mouth close to the corpse. a long time, "You're right." Gong Lianxue confirmed Li Qingcha's guess. While washing her hands frantically, she asked, "But what does this have to do with the question I just asked?" Li Qingcha complained: "You clearly used the test stick, why did you wash your hands?" "You're still asking!?" "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
"Well, I'll wait for your explanation. If you can't explain it clearly, be careful of me..." The girl made a scissors gesture. Li Qingcha pretended not to see it and said, "You can try to imagine a scene. Now, you want to attack someone, but you want to cover his face. Why is that?" Gong Lianxue pondered for a moment and shook her head. She can't put herself in that position. Instead, it was Feng Weiqi who spoke first.
