Chapter 31 Section fifteen

Their eyes turned together in the direction I was pointing. It was a large, blood-stained white sheet in which the body had been wrapped in the box. I walked over, pointed to the sheets and said, "It is rare for people to use pure white sheets at home, because they are not resistant to dirt and are not warm. We have also been to Ah Liu's home, and his home is very popular from furniture to accessories. And I took a special look at it. The bed sheets and quilts of A Liu’s family are the same as ordinary people’s, they are the kind of several-piece floral cloth series. Therefore, I think this bed sheet should not be theirs. Then tell me, where do you like to use it? Sheets of this color?"

"Hospital, of course it's a hospital." Xiao Qin said, "It's so white." I shook my head: "It looks like it at first glance. But I have lived in the second hospital, and the red letters of 'Second People's Hospital' are printed on the middle of the sheets and bedding of the second hospital. Moreover, the quality of those sheets is not as good. Now let's speculate, besides the hospital Where do you like to use pure white sheets?" Xiao Qin looked at me and suddenly called out: "Hotel!" He patted himself on the head, "I always thought that the murderer was Ah Liu, and when I saw the white sheets, I thought of the hospital. I was really confused. In fact, the murderer may not necessarily be Ah Liu. Maybe I have entanglements with other people, my mind is really stuck!"

"Don't blame yourself!" I patted him on the shoulder, "Me too, our forensic doctor Shi Da was right - 'conclusions come from evidence', it's too early to make any conclusions now." Xiao Qin is a man of action, so he turned around immediately. "Now I'm going to check the hotel." "Alright!" I said slowly to Xiao Qin's back who was striding outwards, "If you're in a hurry." Xiao Qin stopped his pace abruptly, abruptly, and seemed to almost sway, then turned around stiffly and looked at me speculatively: "What?"

I laughed: "Although it is speculated that the bed sheet may belong to a hotel, it is not necessarily the case. There are other possibilities; secondly, even if it is from a hotel, the scene of murder and mutilation may not be in a certain hotel. For example, the murderer may have worked in a hotel. It is convenient to get such a quilt, or the murderer once stole it out of a certain hotel and used it temporarily, etc. In short, it is difficult to have a unique conclusion. Moreover, even if the crime is indeed committed in a hotel, hundreds of thousands of hotels in the city are investigated The hotel is also a huge workload."

"Then what do you mean?" "I want to try," I said, "to see if I can find a trick. I have already handed over Jiang Yao's photo to the police stations of the two jurisdictions with the most bars and nightclubs, and the anti-drug team to see if anyone can identify her. It’s best to recognize Jiang Yao, doesn’t she like to hang out in such places? If we can get valuable information, we can save a lot of trouble.” "This is a good way." Xiao Qin habitually scratched the top of his head, "But why did you hand it over to the anti-drug team?" Xiao Qin never knew about Jiang Yao's arrest that time.

Just as I was about to explain, the phone rang, and I saw it was from Team Leader Liu of the anti-drug team: "Hello—" "I have good news for you, someone has recognized Jiang Yao." I am overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I'll send people over right away. Xiao Qin, go over first and listen to what they have to say." "Okay!" Xiao Qin immediately turned around again, but after taking two steps, he turned back and asked me with rolling eyes, "Why didn't you go? There must be something new to discover!" "No," I replied quickly, and walked to Jiang Yao's body again, "but I hope our forensic doctor can give us some more evidence."

Xiao Qin gave me a look of disbelief and left. "What did you think of?" Xiao Shi followed. "I looked at the initial forensic report and it seemed too sketchy." "The preliminary autopsy was relatively complete," Xiao Shi said, "but they later handed over everything. If there is anything missing now, the responsibility is mine." I looked at Xiao Shi approvingly. "It's not that there's anything missing," I said, "it's just that I've thought of a possibility." I pointed to the knife wound on the chest of the deceased.

"Did you say a knife wound?" Xiao Shi replied immediately, "The murder weapon has not been found yet, so we are not sure what it was like, but the outside of the deceased's wound is triangular. I tend to use a three-edged scraper with a bloodletting groove. It’s rare, it’s more like the stuff that the ‘several enter the palace’ guys have, which is one of the reasons why I think the murderer might not be Ah Liu.” I nodded: "That makes sense, but that's not what I'm talking about. You see, the wound is pierced from the front, which means that when the murderer makes a move, Jiang Yao should be able to see—"

I didn't finish. Xiao Shi looked at me suspiciously: "You mean an acquaintance? It's not absolute—" "Where!" I laughed, "I mean think about what kind of person Jiang Yao is?" Xiao Shi immediately replied: "Very selfish! Extremely selfish!" I smiled and shook my head: "Yes, but what I want to talk about now is not this, but, the other side!"
