Di Ying smiled and nodded.
With the help of a beating bonfire, he took out a structural diagram of the Wu family's house from the case box, pointed at the diagram, and then slowly explained: "None of the twelve people died on the bed. You first look at this Wu family. Home house style.
In ordinary people's homes, the stove is on the left or right side of the main house. And his kitchen is next to the main house.
It's on the far left side of the first floor of this two-story building.
On the left are the pig pens. There is an aisle between the building and the pig pen.
Passing through the aisle is the patio at the back.
And outside the pigsty is the official road.
You also know that the common people's toilets are connected to the pig pens, which is convenient for storing fertilizer.
The Wu family's pigsty is separated from the official road by a wall, so the toilet must have an entrance and exit facing the official road. It's convenient to save the fat for passers-by.
A little bit of fertility is very precious to the people.
Let’s see what’s in his patio?
There is a well, and there is also an open space for drying clothes and smoking bacon. It is not small. Several chickens are also kept there.
Is this a chicken coop? So this is a rabbit cage, right?
To say that Wu Yongchang is smart is really quite smart.
In this patio, there is also a ditch for sewage dug by his family. Next to the mountain wall.
Wu Yongchang's sister-in-law died in the pig pen. Apparently, she was killed while getting up early to feed the pigs. "
Di Ying said, then pointed to the patio and said: "Wu Yongchang's eldest brother was killed in the patio. His two children died in the main room on the second floor; Wu Yongchang's three children died in the courtyard. On the hillside outside the backyard.
Let’s take a look at his patio first.
On the left side of the patio is the official road, and on the right side is a corner door. When you open the corner door and go out, you will see a hillside.
As mentioned before, the Wu family was built near the top of the mountain. One side is next to the official road, one side is against the mountain wall, and the other side is the downward slope. The front is a reclaimed, flat mountain field, and further forward is towards the foot of the mountain. mountain trails.
This hillside is full of weeds, trees, etc. Because it is relatively steep and there is no trail, it is naturally a good place for children to play.
But those children were not there to play, but to chop wood.
There are records here, and small hatchets for chopping wood were found next to the three children.
As for Wu Yongchang, he died in his bedroom on the second floor. But he didn't die on the bed, but collapsed at the door of the bedroom.
I guess he heard the noise in the main room and wanted to go over and have a look.
His bedroom is on the left side of the second floor, and his eldest brother and sister-in-law's bedroom is on the right side of the second floor. "
"Hey, sir, are the last people from the Wu family to die the same as Wu Yongchang's parents?"
Xie Jing tapped her palms with a folding fan and asked.
Di Ying glanced at him approvingly, then nodded: "That's right. Based on the position where each of them died, I can roughly calculate the order of their deaths. According to this order, the last person to die should indeed be Wu Yongchang's parents."
With that said, Di Ying pointed to the structural diagram of the Wu family's house again and said: "I estimate that the murderer came close to the Wu family from this hillside. This is the only place where he can reach out from everyone's sight.
There is a big drawback to the construction of the Wu family. You see, the second floor faces south, north, and east-west. The east side of the building wall is on the hillside.
Facing such a large hillside, there is not a single window. "
"Aren't all two-story buildings like this?" Xie Jing blurted out.
Di Ying nodded, "Yes, they are all like this. But this Wu family is different. Let's see what's on the east side? Go down the hillside, and after a distance of about forty meters, there are terraces.
Going down the terraces one after another, you will reach the foot of the mountain.
Looking at this map of Cangyang Village, although the drawing is not very regular, it can at least be seen that there is a large valley at the foot of the mountain.
It is surrounded by mountains, enclosing a low valley. Some villagers live in the valley.
On the left side of the hillside, halfway up another mountain, there are also several villagers living there.
The Wu family should have opened a few small windows on the east wall.
This way you can see a better view and effectively prevent others from climbing in through the window. How beautiful?
Pian Wu's house is also built in the same style as other houses, using a closed style.
Others are afraid of prying eyes, but what is his family afraid of?
Look at the corridor on the second floor, it was built just for enjoying the view from a high place, right? Then why don't you open two windows on the east wall? A bit contradictory, isn't it? "
As he said that, Di Ying felt that he was going too far, so he brought the topic back and said, "No matter what, just because there are no windows on the east wall of his house, there is a large blind spot to the east.
That is, as long as someone comes up from the foot of the mountain, terraces, or hillside in the east, the Wu family will not be able to see it no matter what angle they stand.
Therefore, I concluded that the villain came up from the hillside. Hiding in the forest, he attacked and killed the three children first.
The three children went to chop wood, so their locations must be relatively scattered.
Judging by the time of day, when I went out to chop wood, I guess I hadn’t cut a few firewood yet, so there wouldn’t be a situation where one was chopping and the other was gathering.
So it must be widely dispersed.
This makes it easier for the gangster to kill one with a knife, cover his mouth, put him in the grass, and then kill the next one, right? "
Xie Jing nodded heavily.
He had a picture of it in his mind. Then... I shuddered.
This murderer... was too calculated.
So, it’s not about making money at all?
And if you don't even let the child go, then it must be revenge.
Sure enough, as soon as he thought of this, he heard his adults continuing to analyze.
"It must be a vendetta. Judging from the location chosen by the murderer to approach from the hillside, it is also the most effective way to avoid the sight of other villagers.
At the same time, it also shows that the murderer is very familiar with the Wu family. He also knew the routine of the Wu family, and knew that the three children would go out to chop wood early in the morning.
I would go out to chop wood before breakfast.
After all, the place where there is firewood is right outside the corner door of my house. How close is it?
It’s much more convenient and comfortable to go home and eat after cutting some, and then do other things after eating, right?
At this time, the corner door is naturally open.
After killing the three children, the murderer went in through the corner door.
Because one side of the Wu family's patio is adjacent to the mountain wall and the other side is adjacent to the north side of the two-story building, the light in the patio is naturally not that sufficient.
And because it was early in the morning, everyone was busy. Therefore, Wu Yongchang's eldest brother was probably killed while feeding chickens and rabbits in the courtyard.
Look here, it looks like a chicken coop or a rabbit coop, right? Look at where they are. "
