After hearing Chen Yutian's words, Tang Fengling suddenly smiled.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
"I see. This can indeed explain why the murderer took away their clothes."
Xuan Xi nodded and smiled.
The rest of the people also nodded slightly.
"Besides that, there is another possibility."
At this time, Wu Dongtian suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at him.
Xue Tianhan nodded and said: "Indeed, in addition to what Tang Fengling said, the murderer took away the clothes of the deceased in order to wear their clothes and pretend to be their identities."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed.
There was also a look of surprise on other people's faces.
"So, it is possible that there is more than one murderer?"
Xuan Xi said in surprise.
"No, the wounds on their necks are almost the same. They should be caused by the same person."
Chen Yutian shook his head.
"However, the person who killed them may be one person, but the person pretending to be them must be two people."
indeed.
Everyone nodded.
If there is only one murderer, then he can just take off one set of clothes. There is no need to take off another person's clothes.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer deliberately took off the clothes of the two people in order to conceal the identity of the deceased.
Under this possibility, the number of murderers cannot be determined.
Because the murderer could have taken off two sets of clothes, put one on himself, and pretended to be the deceased.
The other set was dealt with secretly and without anyone noticing.
In this case, there may be only one murderer.
Huo Yuanji thought of this possibility.
So he asked Chen Yutian: "How can you be so sure that there are two people pretending to be the deceased?"
Chen Yutian smiled.
"Because, I discovered this."
He said, lifting up the grass on the side with his hands.
There are some messy footprints there.
However, although these footprints are relatively messy, they can still be identified. They should be two different shoe prints.
Seeing this, everyone understood.
Since there are two kinds of footprints here, it is obvious that the murderer should be two people.
After all, this is not a murder scene, but a place where the deceased's body was dumped after death.
Since the body was thrown away, it was naturally impossible for the deceased to come here on his own.
So naturally it is impossible to leave shoe prints.
Since the shoe prints did not belong to the deceased, they could only belong to the murderer.
After all, this place is sparsely populated.
Except for the murderer who dumped his body here, no one else would have left such messy footprints in a weed.
Unless that person is a lunatic.
"It seems that the deceased was killed by the two murderers elsewhere and then dumped here. The murderers also took off the deceased's clothes... to pretend to be the deceased..."
Wu Dongtian concluded.
"So, what is the identity of the deceased?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Yutian with some curiosity.
They also want to know this question.
"Well... according to the current situation, the deceased was physically strong and had calluses on his palms and the tiger's mouth. He was obviously a martial arts practitioner."
Chen Yutian smiled.
"The calluses on their palms should be caused by the frequent use of long weapons such as whistle sticks, while the calluses on the tiger's mouth should be caused by the long-term use of weapons such as swords.
From this point of view, there are many long weapons such as swords and whistle sticks in front of the deceased.
In addition, there are many old healed scars on their bodies. Judging from the appearance of these scars, they should be caused by swords.
Moreover, among these wounds, except for some wounds caused by martial arts and swordsmanship, many wounds were caused by people using brute force to cut the skin without any skill. It can be determined that they were caused by someone who did not know how to Injuries caused by ordinary martial arts practitioners.
To sum up, the deceased was a person who often used swords and long weapons, and often fought with ordinary people holding weapons.
In addition to this, they should often stay up late. Because I found their eyes were bloodshot.
This is a sign of severe sleep deprivation.
Therefore, it is certain that in front of the deceased was a martial arts practitioner who often fought against ordinary people with weapons, had extremely irregular rest periods, and often stayed up late. "
After listening, everyone present fell into deep thought.
Chen Yutian's speculation has almost made the identity of the deceased very clear.
Understand martial arts...
He often fights with ordinary people who hold weapons but are not proficient in martial arts...
And occasionally get hurt.
My daily routine is irregular and I often stay up late...
Combining these characteristics, the most qualified ones are the police officers in the government offices of various states and counties.
These people naturally have a certain basic knowledge of martial arts.
Moreover, they work for various government agencies and often fight with criminals.
Most of these criminals are ordinary people who do not understand martial arts and can only chop randomly with swords.
In addition, once a criminal case occurs at night, the police officers must rush to the scene as quickly as possible, and they are usually busy at the scene all night long.
In this way, their work and rest schedules are naturally extremely chaotic.
Lack of sleep is even more common.
Moreover, the standard equipment in the yamen is the demon sword and the killing stick used in the court.
This is also in line with Chen Yutian's judgment on the deceased's usual use of weapons.
In this way, the one that best fits Chen Yutian's description is official servant.
But here comes the problem.
If these two people were really official officers, then why were they killed?
Moreover, his body was dumped near Gyeonggi Province.
"If they were killed elsewhere and dumped here, then I think the scene of the first crime should be nearby."
Lin Dao said.
Chen Yutian nodded.
"Yes. After the murder, the murderer would not choose a place too far away to dump the body. After all, if the body is noticed by passers-by, it will be troublesome."
"Indeed." Xue Tianhan nodded.
Huo Yuanji's eyes suddenly flashed and he said, "So, the scene of the first crime should be on Gyeonggi Road."
Chen Yutian nodded, "Yes. That should be true."
"After all, two official servants came to Beijing wearing standard clothes. They must have some official business in Beijing, so they will definitely choose to go official.
Therefore, the scene of the first crime should be on Gyeonggi Province. "
But why did the murderer kill two official servants on the official road?
Chen Yutian still couldn't figure this out.
But at this moment, Xue Tianhan spoke.
"You just said that they are probably in Beijing on business, right?"
"Yes. Is there any problem?" Chen Yutian asked.
Xue Tianhan said: "What business do you think they came to Beijing for?"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian pondered for a moment.
"Normally, when a government official goes out on official business, one person usually does it alone. When two or more people go on official business, they usually only escort prisoners to Beijing..."
Speaking of this, Chen Yutian obviously saw Xue Tianhan's eyes move.
"You mean... they were probably killed while escorting the prisoners?"
Xue Tianhan nodded.
Hearing this, Chen Yutian didn't feel anything at first, but after a moment, his eyes suddenly flashed.
Immediately, a look of extreme surprise flashed in his eyes.
He stared blankly at Xue Tianhan.
His face was full of disbelief.
"No, it can't be...it's difficult, can you say..."
