However, things developed far beyond Wen Xiaoyun's expectations.
If Hu Dongcai, a subordinate in the execution room, would stay in the punishment room from time to time and draw little turtles, little tortoises, etc., after Wen Xiaoyun suddenly vomited blood and was rushed to the hospital, he basically just walked around the execution room in the morning and noon, and even went out without saying hello. .
When Wen Xiaoyun dragged her weak and "sick body" back to the execution room to work, Hu Dongcai ignored him, showing neither surprise nor emotion.
He walked into the room with an expressionless face, walked around the desk where he worked, and then walked straight out of the room.
Seeing Hu Dongcai walking out with his hands behind his back, Wen Xiaoyun couldn't be happier.
But on the surface she didn't reveal anything at all.
It wasn't until Wang Baoyan completely walked out of the courtyard that she cautiously walked out of the room and came to the courtyard gate.
Looking around the outside of the courtyard, she reached out and pulled the door leaves on both sides, leaving the door ajar and closing it. At the same time, he pulled out the door bolt, but did not lock the door leaf. Instead, he deliberately tilted it at some angle. If someone suddenly pushed the door in, the tilted door bolt would fall down and make a warning sound.
When the yamen is working normally during the day, the doors of the third shift and the sixth room cannot be locked or closed. But with a crack exposed, it can be deduced that the door leaf was blown shut by the wind.
After setting up a simple warning mechanism, Wen Xiaoyun lifted up the hem of her gown, turned around and walked back to the execution room.
Although there was an early warning mechanism in the yard, after entering the house, Wen Xiaoyun still bolted the door from the inside.
This is safer.
After finally getting rid of her worries, Wen Xiaoyun quickly shuttled between the rows of bookshelves, scanning the records up and down quickly.
According to the time given by Yinnuo, it didn't take much effort for her to find the file documents of Wang Baoyan's case.
Wen Xiaoyun specially selected the evidence, testimony records and autopsy documents to read first.
Opening the pages of the book, I quickly searched almost every line.
Soon, she found some of the records that interested her most.
There was an arrow wound on Wang Baoyan's body, which only hit his heart. But strangely, the strangulation mark on his neck was thick and obvious, purple in color, which is typical of a living person being strangled.
Wen Xiaoyun's face suddenly froze. It was dark night when Su's mother shot Wang Baoyan. She climbed on the wall and shot an arrow into the heart. The operation was not easy.
As she continued to read, as if to answer her doubts, another document that organized evidence and body traces gave a combined description of this.
According to Su's mother's confession, she not only lived in the mountains and forests all year round, but also had to raise two children by herself. When you go out hunting, you have to rely on accurate archery skills to gain anything. Not only is she much stronger than an ordinary woman, but her running speed and endurance are far beyond that of an ordinary man.
She also had a lot of experience fighting against wild beasts at night, so on the night of the murder, she was fully capable of shooting Wang Baoyan in the heart with an arrow while lying on the wall.
What's more, Wang Baoyan was standing alone in the middle of the yard burning things at that time. Everything else was pitch black and only his place was burning with a bright fire. It was too easy for the old hunter Su Mu.
As for the fresh marks on Wang Baoyan's neck, there is a completely reasonable explanation based on Su's mother's confession.
According to Su's mother, after she shot Wang Baoyan in the heart with an arrow, she quickly jumped down from the wall. While Wang Baoyan was kneeling in pain and was not completely dead, she took out the rope she had prepared. , strangled him and dragged him to the well.
The purpose of this was to delay as much as possible the time for others to discover the body, and to ensure that Wang Baoyan was completely dead.
Su Mu did all this series of actions neatly and almost in one go. That's why there were bruises and bruises on the neck of Wang Baoyan, who was still breathing.
Seeing this, Wen Xiaoyun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It made sense that this case could be concluded quickly at that time.
Judging only from what is recorded in the evidence documents, the entire process of Su's mother shooting Wang Baoyan had no loopholes, everything was perfect, and everything was self-explanatory.
Coupled with the witness and physical evidence and Su's mother's confession, this case seems to be simple and clear.
Wen Xiaoyun continued to look down at the document, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
The reason why she had a completely different inference before was probably because she broke away from the details of all evidence and testimony and made bold guesses from the perspective of a bystander.
Of course, if she had seen these documents and records before, she would have thought that she might have guessed completely wrong. The truth of this case was as simple and clear as the file records.
But now she will not be easily confused by these evidences, just because of the letter from her aunt.
In the letter, her uncle Yin Qianhua told her and Yin Nuo that they must find out the mysterious force behind the prefect Wang through the cases of Su Xuexin and Wang Baoyan. A year ago, although Yin Qianhua did not personally investigate the Wang Baoyan murder case, he secretly borrowed all the detailed documents of the case through his connections, and put a lot of effort into repeated scrutiny and review.
Maybe even though Yin Qianhua didn't tell anyone at that time, he had already noticed another hidden layer in this case. It is more likely that he has found some evidence through other channels that can overturn the conclusion of Wang Baoyan's murder case.
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaoyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
