After Master said this, Qin Tianming said seriously:
"I suspected that the case was unusual at the beginning. Later, when I discovered a sacrificial altar in the tiankeng, I felt that there must be a terrible secret behind the case, so I immediately returned to the county government office to check the skulls, and finally found that all the deceased people had been killed. People eat their brains, and some even have their brains eaten while they are still alive!”
Magistrate Gao and others shuddered when they heard this, and said tremblingly:
"It's like we're eating monkey brains!"
"right!"
Qin Tianming said:
"Yes, just like when we eat monkey brains, we first tie the monkey under the table, make a round hole on the table to let the monkey brain stick out, then open the monkey brain, pour hot oil on it, and eat it directly! But the monkey hasn't eaten it yet die."
The master said in horror:
"If that's the case, those people who died would be so pitiful."
Qin Tianming nodded and said:
"Master, you are right. This kind of brain-eating torture is indeed very cruel. It is like the torture of hell!"
Diao Shizhen and Li Shitong were very surprised and asked:
"Qin Tianming, are you telling a story? Who in Gandong County would be so cruel? The governance of Gandong County is not very good, but it may not be so bad!"
These two people were still very complacent about the dark society in Qiandong County. Qin Tianming sneered a few times and said:
"Master Diao, the cruel people may not be in Qiandong County, they may be people from outside Qiandong County! Besides, do you think Qiandong County is well governed?"
County Magistrate Gao stared at Qin Tianming and asked:
"You said this case was committed by someone from outside Qandong County? No, right? The security in Qandong County has always been good. I think it must have been done by outsiders!"
Qin Tianming analyzed it seriously and said:
"If you go to the tiankeng dark cave once, you will know what happened there. Based on what happened there, I dare to conclude that including the brain-marrow eating cases that are still happening now, they are all done by a group of people! These murderers are If you are not from Qandong County, it is difficult to make a judgment."
Diao Shizhen was the judicial officer of Qiandong County and was very confident in the security of Qiandong County, so he disapproved and said:
"Qin Tianming, are you too confident? Although there are still cases happening from time to time, they may not be done by the same group of people, because the time span is too large, and your judgment has no basis! Maybe the latest case was done by someone else. "
Gao Buwei, Li Shitong and others nodded repeatedly and said:
"Master Diao's analysis is correct. If the case that happened now and the case that happened more than ten years ago were committed by the same group of people, it would be hard for people to believe that the murderer who killed more than ten years ago must have died long ago!"
The master also nodded in agreement and said:
"If the case that happened now, and of course the death case that happened in the palace, was done by the same group of people ten years ago, why didn't they kill anyone for a long time? This is contrary to common sense and makes no sense."
Li Shitong said disdainfully:
"The murderer has not committed another crime for seven or eight years. Could it be that the murderer changed his mind and suddenly wanted to kill again? Isn't this ridiculous?"
These people were talking all over the place, but Qin Tianming didn't care. He waited for these people to finish speaking, then took over their topic and said:
"It's meaningless for us to analyze out of thin air here. I only value evidence, evidence, do you understand?"
Seeing Qin Tianming becoming more and more arrogant and not paying attention to even County Magistrate Gao, Diao Shizhen was very angry. He was going to torture the pig-killer to see what evidence he had?
Diao Shizhen took a few steps forward, came to Qin Tianming, and asked sternly:
"Qin Tianming, since you mentioned evidence, let me ask you, is the evidence you call a stone horse?"
Li Shitong immediately agreed and said:
"Yes, Qin Tianming, you keep talking about evidence, but you actually show evidence?"
Qin Tianming felt that no matter what, no matter how good he was in solving cases, but he came from a humble background, these people would look down on him anyway.
If you want to convince these cruel people of Great Xia, you can only slap them in the face with constant case solving and rigorous reasoning!
Use the golden finger of rigorous reasoning and powerful case-solving ability to defeat them without any suspense!
Qin Tianming sneered several times and said:
"Since the adults want to hear the so-called evidence, I will tell you about it!"
Qin Tianming put up a posture, took his hands out of his sleeves, and said calmly:
"There is no evidence. Of course I, Qin Tianming, will not brag in front of you all! I am a serious person, very cautious in doing things, and will not talk nonsense. The sky has eyes, because no one is involved in the sinkhole, so where is it?" The evidence is very well preserved, providing me with an excellent opportunity to further investigate your so-called ghost case!"
Gao Buwei scratched his head and said:
"Qin Tianming, if you have evidence, bring it out immediately. Don't beat around the bush! You make my head hurt every time!"
Qin Tianming looked up at the beams and pillars above the county government lobby. This gesture usually marked the beginning of Qin Tianming's analysis of the case.
Sure enough, Qin Tianming said:
"First of all, I found countless footprints in the dark cave of the sinkhole! But fortunately, I have studied footprint science and can identify the key footprints from the messy footprints!"
Everyone stared at Qin Tianming nervously.
Magistrate Gao asked nervously:
"What secret did you discover from the footprints?!"
"First,"
Qin Tianming analyzed and said:
"Among the people who entered the dark caves of the sinkhole, some were guilty and some were killed, that is, they are victims. Therefore, to separate these people, we need to judge from the footprints preserved in the dust."
"Speak quickly!"
Everyone listened with rapt attention and hurriedly urged.
Qin Tianming took his time and said:
"The ropes left on the ground in the dark cave indicate that the victims were tied into the dark cave. You should know that the tied people walk differently from normal people because they were pushed and their hands were tied. , the steps should be very messy, and there is no normal pace between the footprints. Can you understand this?"
After listening to Qin Tianming's analysis, the master said with approval:
"Qin Tianming, your analysis is very correct. The footprints of a tied person are naturally different from the walking footprints of a normal person. They should be very messy and even unrecognizable."
The master is still smart. Qin Tianming nodded and continued his analysis:
"However, the footprints of those escorting them are normal, and they are usually lined up next to the victim's team. Because they are responsible for escorting the victim, they should not walk into the team, but walk to the side!"
Magistrate Gao was anxious after hearing this and said directly:
"Qin Tianming, to put it briefly, what did you find?!"
Qin Tianming said:
"I found that there should be four people escorting the victims into the dark cave! Because there were not many footprints walking on the side, and they were very neat, enough to judge the number of people."
four people? !
Four murderers?
Everyone felt that what Qin Tianming said was indeed well-founded and not just bragging.
Everyone became serious.
Qin Tianming looked at everyone and said:
"According to my analysis of the footprints at the scene, there were four people escorting seven prisoners into the dark cave. Among the four people, three were tall, but one was very unique! He was different from the other three."
Did Qin Tianming even discover this?
Simply amazing!
"What kind of unique method?"
everyone asked in unison.
Qin Tianming swallowed his foam, took the tea cup from his master, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"Because that person only left one footprint on the ground of the dark cave!"
"Only one footprint!?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise and didn't understand why Qin Tianming said this.
Qin Tianming nodded and said:
"I can confirm that among the four criminals, there is one who is lame. Because he only shows one footprint when he walks, this person is lame!"
A cripple? !
Everyone's eyes were as big as eggs.
They all admired Qin Tianming for being able to tell from a series of footprints that there was a cripple among the prisoners!
This guy is so awesome.
It seems that the capture of the murderer is not far away.
Looking at the high-spirited officers, Qin Tianming said:
"Besides the string of only one footprint, I found traces of walking with a cane, and there were dots of cane marks on the ground, so I concluded that among the four murderers, there must be a lame man! Because he was using a cane. walk!"
After Qin Tianming analyzed this, Gao County Magistrate Da Wei praised him, gave a thumbs up and said:
"Qin Tianming, you really have some skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
Diao Shizhen on the side was a little jealous and sneered:
"What's the matter? It's not surprising that our senior officers from the Daxia National Criminal Department often judge criminals based on their footprints!"
oh?
Qin Tianming looked back at Diao Shizhen and asked:
"It seems that you are also a master at judging traces, right? What a pity, what a pity. It would be great if you were at the scene at that time, so that I wouldn't have to use my brain."
Qin Tianming made fun of Diao Shizhen, but Diao Shizhen was not angry and said calmly:
"Do you think you, Qin Tianming, are the only one who can be so powerful? There are many people in Daxia who are more powerful than you, do you understand?"
Hahaha,
Qin Tianming laughed evilly, then walked up to Diao Shizhen and said:
"Since Diao Shizhen and Master Diao are so talented and knowledgeable, I would like to test you on a question."
Stone horse problem? !
Diao Shizhen asked boldly, not wanting to show weakness in front of everyone.
Qin Tianming understood that if he wanted to conquer these unruly officers in Qandong County, they would not give in without some hard food.
Qin Tianming asked abruptly:
"Master Diao is skilled in footprints, so he must also study ruts, right?"
Diao Shizhen was a little surprised. He did not expect Qin Tianming to ask this question.
But he couldn't make a fool of himself in public, so he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Ruts, of course you have to study them!"
Qin Tianming smiled, raised his thumbs up and said in admiration:
"Master Diao is really knowledgeable and talented, so I want to ask you, what is the difference between a car with a distance of one meter and a car with a distance of two meters, or even a vehicle with a distance of three meters?!"
Diao Shizhen said in shock:
"You mean the size of the car, the distance between the wheels?"
Qin Tianming laughed and said:
"If I'm not wrong, your Daxia country's vehicles are different from those of other neighboring countries. The vehicle regulations are naturally different from those of other countries, right?"
Diao Shizhen was still aware of Daxia's vehicles. He nodded and said:
"The vehicle regulations in Daxia are different. The higher the official position, the higher the regulations on horse-drawn vehicles. Everyone knows this. Do you still need Qin Tianming to remind us?"
