Early this morning, Xu shopkeeper looked at the treasure house where important cultural relics were placed as usual. When he opened the door, he saw the bodyguard lying flat on the beam, dead. At the foot of the Amin dynasty mahogany square stool, the western clock at the foot of the wall was knocked to a stop. There are no obvious signs of turning around indoors, but the copybook is gone!
After receiving the report, Wang Kechang of Hanzheng Street Police Station immediately rushed to the scene for investigation, and found that the lower end of a round iron bar in the window iron fence was sawed off by more than one centimeter, and a half-centimeter stake was inserted in the mortise where the iron bar was installed, but the saw mouth of the iron bar was rusty, which was obviously sawed off a long time ago to facilitate people's entry and exit. Sheriff Wang found two long hairs on the bodyguard's bed, with lipstick and lip prints on his collar. He held up the western clock that had fallen to the ground, and the hour hand pointed to half past five. Then he visited the back garden and saw a ladder with special skills leaning against the back window. Under the ladder, there is a broken blue-and-white porcelain plate of the Yuan Dynasty. ...
Soon, Sergeant Wang outlined the case: the bodyguard hooked up with a woman, sawed off the iron fence and let the woman take a ladder from the window to enter the room for a tryst. Last night, while the bodyguard was asleep, the woman stole the copybook, picked up a porcelain plate by the way, and accidentally broke it when she got off the ladder, waking the bodyguard. The guards found that they had been cheated and could not explain to Xu shopkeeper, so they had to hang themselves with a square stool. Before he died, he tripped over the square stool and the western clock. The western clock fell to the ground and stopped.
After receiving the notification of the case, Hankou police station felt that the case was serious and sent inspector Ouyang Changfeng to Hanzheng Street police station to conduct the investigation. After some investigation and interview, Ouyang analyzed that the bodyguard's death was homicide, not suicide. If it is suicide, the face will be pale or red-black, but the deceased's face has obvious blue swelling and oval subcutaneous bleeding caused by two nails in the neck. It can be seen that the deceased was strangled first and then hung on the beam. Sheriff Wang wondered, "Can a woman hang such a strong man?" Ouyang nodded: "It should be a young man, with a height of over 1.75 meters ..." Sergeant Wang still didn't understand: "However, only one person's fingerprint was found indoors!" Ouyang smiled and said, "Sergeant Wang, have you noticed that there is not even a trace of fingerprints on the blue and white porcelain plate!" "Seeing that Sergeant Wang was speechless, Ouyang continued to analyze:" This shows that a gloved man stole something and accidentally broke the porcelain plate. "Ouyang said, and set the minute hand of the western clock to twelve o'clock, and the hour hand pointed to six o'clock. According to the normal time, it should ring six times, but the clock only rang twice. Sheriff Wang and Xu shopkeeper were surprised again. Xu shopkeeper asked, "Is this clock broken? "Ouyang said with a smile," It wasn't the clock that broke, but the murderer directly adjusted the hour hand and minute hand to 5: 30 to divert attention. In fact, the time of the crime was between 1 am and 2: 00 am. According to the traces left by the ladder against the wall, bodyguards have been in contact with women for a long time. It is not easy for a person to move such a long ladder, and it is also very eye-catching when walking on the road. So the killer's residence is not far from here. "
Ouyang further analyzed that two ladders made of Chinese fir looked rough and were made by criminals themselves. Machining a ladder is not expensive, mainly because you don't want to attract attention. "However, they still show clues," Ouyang said, pointing to a black fiber in his hand. "This is the cotton thread on the black headscarf of ordinary Hunan people. The criminal is likely to be from Hunan, and this man and a woman are wineries or hotels. " He held up a rectangular piece of glass, on which several footprints were clearly shown. Sheriff Wang immediately recognized that it was a new trace left by two people. Ouyang immediately took a piece of clean glass to demonstrate: "This method of extracting footprints is most suitable for clean surfaces and floors." As he spoke, he repeatedly rubbed a piece of silk on the glass. Soon, many particles stuck to the glass plate. "Friction generates static electricity, static electricity absorbs particles, and what is left on the criminal's feet is collected. I checked, there are distiller's grains invisible to the naked eye in the footprints of men and women, so the perpetrator came from the place where the wine was made, and stayed there for at least a while ... The ladder was there, with a lot of distiller's grains stuck on it. That house is deep, otherwise the ladder won't come down. The house with the ladder must be next door. " Xu shopkeeper was dumbfounded. To his surprise, Ouyang decided that the murderer was an antique expert. He repeatedly shouted, "The inspector is absolutely right. The killer must have come to get the copybook. You don't take so many gold and silver utensils in the treasure house, choose blue and white porcelain plates. What an antique expert! " Immediately, Sergeant Wang raided Taibai Restaurant.
Taibai Restaurant and Wangjiangzhai are separated by an alley, and the depth of the house is not small, accounting for half of the alley. The other half is a dyehouse with a facade facing the Han River. Taibai restaurant has been booming for decades and passed on to this generation. Men got tuberculosis, hunched over all day, fell ill, and their business just declined, all thanks to their boss Yang Jinhua. Yang Jinhua is enchanting and lewd by nature. Seeing that men are useless, he flirts with customers to win business. It is said to be restaurants, teahouses and playing cards. Every midnight, Huang Bei and Xiaogan's Caotai team are also allowed to start singing a glib ancient painting opera. When a favorite character teased him, Yang Jinhua lured him to the back room to have sex. The patient knows that he is a failure and can only turn a blind eye. Wang Jiangzhai's bodyguard tried Yang Jinhua's idea. She once sneered and said, "Don't look at yourself, the toad wants to eat swan meat!" " Yang Jinhua thought he was rude and sarcastic, so his bodyguard knocked off the table.
Sheriff Wang just learned about this festival. Several people proved that they played mahjong all night and didn't leave until after seven o'clock the next morning. There is no doubt that she committed a crime. But after Ouyang's reasoning, he became a major suspect. Sheriff Wang took people to Taibai Restaurant, but the door was left unlocked. When he went to the bedroom, he saw the sick man strangled in bed. Came to the second floor, I saw Yang Jinhua chest with a dagger, covered in blood, struggling on the floor. Sheriff Wang hurriedly called for help, Pointing to the southwest: "Yes ... Yuan ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... ..... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ... is ...
County magistrate Wang immediately took people straight to No.1 Tangdong, but there was no copybook or Yuan's shadow. Ouyang said with a smile, "Will a person eager to sell stolen goods sit at home and wait for you?" Sheriff Wang understood, immediately rushed to the Japanese Concession, caught Yuan red-handed, and the copybook was in his arms.
It turned out that Yuan was a native of Shaoyang, Hunan Province, who made a living by robbing tombs, selling antiques and making and selling fake antiques. One day, he read in Ta Kung Pao that shopkeeper Xu of Wangjiangzhai had a copybook and refused to sell 2,000 pieces of gold. He couldn't help but make a bad idea. As a businessman, he lived in Baoqing Hall near Wangjiangzhai and began to think about how to get the treasure.
In those days, teahouses and restaurants were the best places for information. Yuan often goes to Taibai Liquor House to drink alone. See yuan young and handsome, generous. When he spoke, he deliberately made waves and approached, but Yuan turned a blind eye and made no mistake. One day, when he saw a strong man being laughed at by Yang Jinhua, he was very angry and lost his temper. He also heard that he was the nephew of Wangjiang Zhai Xu and the bodyguard of the treasure house, and immediately had an idea. Later, he took the initiative to flirt with Yang Jinhua and soon hooked up with a traitor. Yuan coaxed that his wife had just died and he was willing to marry her to revive Taibai restaurant. Yang Jinhua smiled: "The sick ghost can only drag on for a year at most. After his death, the restaurant will be redecorated. With my popularity, I can do business at the wedding and the guests will be full. " Yuan took the opportunity to propose: "If you want to decorate the restaurant, you have to get a lot of money. I can see that the bodyguard is interested in you. It is better to coax him and take something from the treasure house for a lifetime! "
Besides, although this bodyguard was laughed at by Yang Jinhua, he really couldn't bear to part with her figure. As usual, he went to the restaurant every day to have an eye addiction. He didn't want to throw himself at Yang Jinhua, so he was eager to make out with her at the back of the restaurant. Yang Jinhua said half-heartedly, "No, the sick ghost stared at it all day. He was worried and unhappy! Why don't we go to your place at night ... "The bodyguard shook his head and said," No one is allowed to enter my place! " Yang Jinhua said, "I can climb in through the back window with a ladder!" " The bodyguard was obsessed with sex and promised to cut off a round iron bar to let her in and out. In this way, two people sent a ladder from the wall in the backyard of the restaurant every night, and the ladder turned from the roadway into the back garden of Wangjiangzhai, allowing Yang Jinhua to climb the ladder into the treasure house. It wasn't long before Yang Jinhua found out from the bodyguard where the copybook was collected.
That night, Yuan gave a bottle of white wine mixed with anesthetic, and told him that it was an aphrodisiac wine for the bodyguard to drink. The bodyguard was unconscious until he finished drinking. Yuan immediately entered the room and strangled the bodyguard together, faking the hanging scene. In desperation, the overturned stool stopped the western clock, and Yuan had a brainwave and set the clock to 5: 30. After stealing the copybook, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the blue and white porcelain plate. I felt like a treasure, so I took it. Unexpectedly, he couldn't move because he was wearing gloves. When he turned over, the newly installed round iron bar accidentally slipped off the blue and white porcelain plate. The cracking sound of porcelain plates is particularly clear and harsh in the early morning. He was too scared to move the ladder. He pulled Yang Jinhua around the courtyard wall, ran to a willow tree, and then climbed up the fence and ran away. Then ask Yang Jinhua to go back to the restaurant to accompany him to the opera house to play cards, and bring his copybook back to the hall. After a burst of ecstasy, he was afraid that Yang Jinhua would spill the beans in such a busy place, so he decided to kill him. He first found Yang Jinhua to discuss killing the sick ghost, so as to get married as soon as possible. After the two men strangled the sick ghost together, when they went upstairs for fun, Yuan suddenly pulled out a dagger and inserted it into his chest. She fell screaming in a pool of blood. But she just fainted and didn't die on the spot. Yuan had no time to clean up the scene, so he hurried to the Japanese concession and found a Japanese businessman, saying that he was willing to pay 1000 gold for copybooks. Unexpectedly, the Japanese businessman waved his hand and said, "Don't give me your unknown baby!" "
Yuan let a little disappointed. On the way back angrily, he easily gave in at the corner of Yamazaki Street in the Japanese concession.
