Leng Yi regretted that when he traveled through time, he was on a mission to rescue hostages instead of solving a case. He did not bring an on-site evidence investigation box with him. Otherwise, if he extracted the fingerprints on the door latch in the toilet, he might have found something. There is no investigation box now.

There is no way to do this job. You can only rely on your own brain with modern criminal investigation knowledge and logical reasoning.

Leng Yi thought about it for a long time, shook his head, and said to Wu Captou: "Go and call the person who found the body. I want to ask her some questions."

Wu Captou said hurriedly: "Reporting to the master, the person who found the body was the deceased's maid Xinghua. She lives in Kuli Village, more than thirty miles away. There is no way to call her now."

Leng Yi carefully read the record of questioning the person who reported the crime. At that time, she was waiting at the door in front of the toilet. She couldn't wait, so she went to check. She found that the toilet door could not be pushed open and she would not answer the call.

When he went to the prison to call for help, Captain Ding used a knife to split the wooden board next to the toilet, and asked the maid Xinghua to reach in and pull out the door latch. When he opened the door, he found that the concubine had died in the toilet, and her lower body was covered with blood.

It was a knife found in a cesspool of feces and urine.

Leng Yi thought for a moment and said to Wu Capt. Wu and others: "This county is going to re-interview the key witness, that is, the maid Xinghua. Tomorrow morning you three cops will follow me to Kuli Village to interrogate the person who reported the crime."

The two deputy chiefs didn't say anything, but Mr. Wu muttered, "Didn't you already ask her last time?"

Leng Yi raised his thick eyebrows and said: "The county has made it very clear that this case must be re-investigated. All witnesses must be re-interviewed. One clue after another will be investigated!"

Wu Baotou did not dare to say anything more and quickly agreed.

Leng Yi asked again: "Where is the body of the victim?"

Wu Captou said: "Hasn't it been returned to Mr. Lai for burial outside?"

Leng Yi said calmly: "I just asked if the body has been buried?"

"It's been half a month, so he must have been buried."

The deputy chief next to him said: "Maybe not. I heard that Officer Lai loved his concubine very much, and he might stay in mourning for a while to express his condolences."

Captain Wu was a little dissatisfied with the deputy catcher's constant confrontation. He glared at him and said, "Did you see it?"

"No, I just thought so."

"Did you think it yourself? This is a murder case! Can you just use your random thoughts to talk nonsense?"

The deputy captain lowered his head and said nothing.

Leng Yi said: "Of course he can say it if he has an opinion. Anyone who has a different opinion on the case can say it."

Wu Captou felt a little resentful. The captor cast a grateful look at Leng Yi.

Leng Yi said: "Let's go sit in your police squad room and talk about this case."

Capt. Wu and the others hurriedly invited Leng Yi to the police squad room next to the toilet door. There were several bungalows in this squad room. One of the large rooms was the office room of the cops, and the other two small rooms were for Capt. Wu.

The other one is from two deputy catchers.

Leng Yi sat down in the chief arrester's room, glanced at the three arresters, and said, "This murder has happened for so many days. I believe you have some opinions of your own. Tell me."

Looking at Capt. Wu and the two deputy captivating officers, he said, "Master Dong has already expressed his opinion on the way. I want to hear the opinions of the three of you. Who will speak first?"

The three of them looked at each other. Wu Baotou coughed and said, "Let me tell you first. I don't think it was done by people from our Yamen. Although the crime happened in the Yamen, I stayed in the Xia Yamen of Yinling County."

Over the past twenty years, although people have changed one after another, I know very well that there are no such bad people. Not only raping, but also stabbing a woman's private parts, this is something only a beast can do.

Come out! There is no such beast in our yamen! If there is, I can see it! I can’t hide from the eyes of my surnamed Wu!"

Leng Yi said: "Good guys and bad guys have no words on their faces. You can't handle cases based on your feelings."

Wu Baotou puffed up his chest in dissatisfaction and said: "Master, if I make a mistake this time, I will kowtow to you in public to admit my mistake!"

"No need to say this!" Leng Yi said expressionlessly: "If you think he is not from the Yamen, then who is the murderer?"

"I don't know about this, but I am certain that it was definitely not done by people from our Yamen!"

"As a catcher, solving cases is your primary responsibility. For cases, especially murder cases, no matter what, you must have an operational idea for solving the case, rather than talking about it in general. You must not only know who it is, but also

Only by knowing who they might be can we delineate the scope of the suspects and carry out targeted detection."

Captain Wu smiled coquettishly and said: "Our Yinling County is a place of exile, and the folk customs are fierce. Fights and killings are not uncommon. The two deputy captains and I have handled many murder cases. However,

In the past, murder cases were basically fights and killings, and the murderers died on the spot. Everyone knew who the murderer was. They killed people in the house like this, and the door was bolted from the inside, and the body was still lying behind the door blocking the door.

, this is really the first time I have encountered such a bizarre case. Let alone encounter it, I have never even heard of it before!"

The two deputy chiefs also nodded in agreement.

Leng Yi said: "This case is very strange, but since it is before us, we must find a way to solve it! So, you'd better tell us how to solve the case and share your opinions.

It doesn’t matter, just say whatever you think. There is no question of right or wrong.”

Wu Baotou crossed his shoulders with his hands, thought for a while, and said: "If you have to tell me, I will say that I think it was done by gangsters who came to the Yamen under the guise of doing business. I heard the maid who came with the deceased said that that day, they

Go to the Yamen to ask the elder to beg for mercy, saying that the annual income is not good and the rent collected is not much, so that the tax can be reduced. You did not agree, so they came out and prepared to go back. When they got here, the concubine said that she wanted to go to the hut, so she went.

It must have been at this time that the gangster saw him. He coveted the concubine's beauty, so he followed him, forced her to open the door, threatened her with a knife, and raped her. In order to silence her, he stabbed her lower body with a knife and killed her.

Kill and then run away."

Leng Yi said: "Then have you conducted any investigation among the local ruffians in this county?"

"I checked, checked them all, grandma, these gangsters didn't admit to any of them. I arrested them and tortured them, but two of them couldn't survive the punishment. They admitted it, but they were wrong. Dong

The master refused to use them to top the tank, so he had no choice but to let them go."

Leng Yi cast an approving glance at Mr. Dong, and then said coldly to Wu Captou: "This county is warning you not to torture criminals to extract confessions in the future! Otherwise, this county will fire you and investigate! Do you hear me?"

Wu Captou was stunned and said: "Why?"

In ancient times, torture to extract confessions was legal and even encouraged. Moreover, the county magistrate had tortured criminals before, and even used severe punishments. But now he suddenly refused to do so and threatened to be fired. This is why

Monk Wu Baotou was a little confused and couldn't help but ask.

"No reason." Leng Yi said calmly, "I have the final say on my territory. Anyone who doesn't want to do it can leave!"

This sentence immediately made Na Wu Baotou choke and become speechless, and turned his head to the side angrily.

Leng Yi said to Mr. Dong: "Sir, please spread my words to all the people in the Yamen. Anyone found guilty of torture to extract confessions will be fired! No tolerance!"

Master Dong hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Leng Yi knew that one of the two deputy chiefs was named Song and the other was Ding. Since the tall one was named Ding, the other one was naturally named Song. He turned to look at him and said, "Captain Song, what do you think?"

Song Captou bowed and said: "My subordinates believe that since it is impossible for the murderer to enter the toilet to commit murder, the only possibility is to commit suicide."

Leng Yi said: "Suicide?"

Song Captou nodded: "I really can't think of any way to enter the toilet and kill people and then leave, but also to lock the door from the inside. So, after thinking about it, this is the only one that is relatively reasonable."

Wu Captou said: "If that's the case, then it's easy to handle! If you report it, it's said that the concubine committed suicide. Hehe, but it seems that Lai Yuanwai doesn't think so, and Magistrate Liao doesn't seem to believe this either.

"

Leng Yi said: "It is indeed unreasonable to consider it as suicide. There are so many suicide methods, why choose such a method of inserting a knife into the lower body?"

"This... I don't know."
