Constable Wang sat on the throne, calm and silent.

These days, the first thing Zhu county magistrate does when he gets up is to ask about the progress of the case. Constable Wang can't give valuable information, so he spits out fragrance.

The pressure is all borne by the constable, and the subordinates hide under his umbrella to keep out the wind and rain. They not only don't share his worries and solve his difficulties, but also fight against him!

Constable Wang has reason to be angry. He thinks he's under pressure that he shouldn't be at his age.

Xu Qi'an, who got the dossier, sat at the table and looked closely. All around him were colleagues, exchanging eyes in silence.

Xu Qian's idea is very research, the best way to coax Lao Wang is to solve the case.

If you can't, please ask Lao Wang to play in Taohuayuan cave. We have known each other for so many years, and the boat of friendship is very stable.

What's more, Xu Qian's obstacle to fishing is not only that Sanguan doesn't accept it, but also that he wants to share his worries and solve his problems.

[Zhang yourui, 51, is a big dog farmer living in Kangping street. There are more than ten hectares of fertile farmland in the suburbs of Changle County. There are three shops in the capital selling silk, rouge and groceries.

His wife died early, and he continued to live in a good family 20 years younger than himself. Zhang yourui has an only son, left by his dead wife, and no more children. 】

that's what it means. As long as you work hard to make money, will your future wife still be in kindergarten?

[four days ago, Zhang yourui went to the countryside to collect rent, and Yinshi rushed home. The sleeping wife suddenly hears a scream and goes out to check. Zhang yourui is dead in the hospital. His wife saw a shadow go over the wall.

When Xu Qi'an saw the autopsy report, he noticed a suspicious point.

He continued to read patiently. After reading the confessions of the deceased's family and servants, he closed his eyes and combed his thoughts.

Constable Wang snorted coldly and said, "excuse me, Constable Xu, who and where is the killer?"

"Don't worry, chief." Xu Qi'an opened his eyes: "I saw in the file that there were footprints left on the outer wall of Zhang's house, right? You can infer from this that the thief escaped over the wall. What the little woman said is true."

Constable Wang said, "well.".

"Footprints are outward, so they're left when you run away." Xu Qian said.

"What's the problem?" Constable Wang frowned.

"Why leave footprints."

"Because there's mud on the soles of your feet."

"Why is there mud?"

"Because there's a flower bed by the wall."

Xu Qi'an nodded: "well, why didn't you enter the yard on the file?"

Constable Wang was stunned.

In the silence, the rest of the captors felt that he had lost face and added: "when the thief came in, he noticed this and left no trace."

Another said: "but after the killing, he was eager to escape and left footprints in a hurry."

Xu Qi'an glanced at them: "it's possible. Then, under the wall is the flower bed. Are there any footprints in the flower bed? According to the truth, if the thief can jump out of the wall and cross the flower bed, no footprints will be left. This lightness skill... So when he runs away, there's no need for him to step on the wall. "

They all looked at each other and couldn't answer.

Without their answers, Xu Qian would know the answer, not "yes" or "no", but not.

The captors didn't check this.

"Ning Yan, what's the point of this dispute?" Some people don't agree.

Xu Qi'an didn't answer. He looked at Constable Wang, who frowned and pondered, and continued: "the dead man died of blunt trauma, right?"

Constable Wang nodded: "died on the spot."

Why did Qi an do this with a blunt weapon. Isn't it easier to kill people with swords? "

The hall was quiet. Obviously, everyone was aware of this problem. Xiao Li guessed: "maybe the thief didn't want to kill at first?"

"No!"

This time, it was not Xu Qi'an's retort, but Constable Wang. He stood up, his eyes slightly widened: "blunt weapon hit the back of the brain, one shot to death, it was a heart killing."

He sat back in his chair and murmured, "yes, why use blunt tools, why not sharp tools?"

"Unless the killer didn't have a weapon." Xu Qian Road.

Constable Wang's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had caught something, but he didn't understand it.

"There is one last point that I care about." Xu Qi'an looked at the eye file: "when the family of the deceased came back to the county government for interrogation, Zhang Yang suddenly fainted because she had been kneeling for a long time. After the doctor diagnosed her, he found that she was pregnant."

"A posthumous son."

"It's a pity that there's no father before the child is born."

People who eat melons are disgusting. You and I will cut in.

"It's been ten years since Zhang Yang married the dead. How could she be pregnant at this time?" Xu Qian waited for them to finish before he had a chance to speak,"Maybe the child doesn't belong to the dead at all?"

If men and women are in normal health, it is impossible not to have children for ten years, unless they deliberately avoid children.

One of them must have physical problems, so it is difficult to have children. Although it is not impossible to treat infertility in ancient times, the success rate is certainly very low.

Constable Wang's breathing voice suddenly became heavy. "Ning Yan, make it clear, make it clear..."

Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "maybe this is not a burglary case, but a homicide case. Zhang Yang steals men behind her husband's back. The adulterer is either the man outside or the son of the dead. While the dead went out to collect rent, they had a secret tryst. Who would have expected the dead to return early and catch the traitor on the spot? There was a conflict between the two sides, so the traitor was angry and grabbed a vase or other blunt instrument to kill the dead. "

"Zhang Yang and his adulterer dealt with the scene in a hurry, and dragged the dead to the hospital, pretending to be thieves to steal."

"Since the traitor wanted to have a tryst, he stepped on the spot ahead of time and found out the rules of the night patrol soldiers, so he was not met by the soldiers of the imperial sword guard. If the thief really wants to make money, he will never choose to do it that night. Instead, he will wait for the dead to exchange the rent money into a silver note, put it in his pocket and take it away. "

"The words given by Zhang Yang are just taking advantage of rent collection to bring your ideas in the direction of" seeking wealth. "

The room full of captors, gaping.

"This, this... You can tell the killer just by looking at the file?"

"Ning Yan, this is not for fun. Don't talk nonsense."

"But don't you think it makes a lot of sense?"

Xu Qi'an's operation gives them the feeling of four words: not clear and sharp.

"I just made a bold guess according to the details of the case. This may not be the truth, and it needs to be verified." Xu Qi'an responded to the surprised colleagues.

The process of solving a case is to collect clues, then reasoning and analysis, and finally to verify; collect evidence.

The thief concealed the night patrol taxi pawn..... The time of burglary was not right..... Killing people with blunt weapons instead of sharp ones..... Zhang Yang's pregnancy..... After Xu Qi'an's deliberation, these seemingly unimportant details merged into clues of logic.

Constable Wang feels that his career has opened up a new door. He takes a deep breath and calms down the agitation. After careful analysis, he finds that Xu Qian's words make him confused: "why do you think the adulterer is the son of the dead?"

"There are two reasons why I suspect him," Xu Qi'an said slowly after a long cup of tea in the eager eyes of constable Wang and his colleagues:

"Zhang Xian, the son of the deceased, said in his confession that he was reading the accounts in his study that night and did not sleep with his wife. Since he is awake, how can he not hear the movement in the yard? "

"The fact that Zhang Yang was awakened by the scream shows that there was a great deal of movement. But as a man who was awake, he didn't hear anything. Is that reasonable?"

"Second, if we can't find the trace left in the flower garden when the thief sneaked in, then the so-called thief probably doesn't exist. It is speculated that the son of the deceased is highly suspected. "

I'm very keen on it.

Constable Wang asked, "so the footprints on the wall may have been deliberately left to confuse us."

Xu Qian guessed: "yes, by the way, go directly to compare the boots of the dead son."

"I'm sure I won't leave my own footprints." Wang said.

Xu Qian's face was full of admiration. He patted a rainbow fart: "the leader is really wise and powerful. He can get through at once. It's really a great capture. "

Xu Qi'an just made a long speech to set up his image. Then he turned around and licked 350 degrees without dead angle, which was very comfortable. Constable Wang's face was like a dark old farmer.

I feel that my image is much higher.

"I'll go to Mr. Zhu immediately. You guys are ready to go to Zhang's house with me." Constable Wang's dark face, like an old farmer's, showed a look of impatience.

With a little finger, Xu Qi'an gave out two tractor like laughs. He rushed out of the rest room and went to the back hall to find the county magistrate.

PS: Thank you for the reward of "little dolphin's feather Xiaochen", "big brother takes me to fly", "xipiyou" and "Li Peiyun".

I'll remember it first, and the alliance leaders will remember it first. When it's time, they'll be on the shelves and return it together.
