Chapter 409: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (29)
Dragon Star Map was shocked, "In a dream?"
"I... Although I have lied to you about something, please believe me. Everything I just said is true!" Hu Zi sobbed and was unbearable. "I often dreamed that there was a man in the dream, wearing the same clothes as the dead. He always stood in a dark place and smiled at me, but I couldn't see his face clearly. I wanted to find him, so I sneaked out of my house. Unexpectedly... Master Long, who is the dead? Is he the person in my dream?"
Long Xingtu slowly let go of his hand, his face calmed down, "I can't answer your question for the time being, because I also want to know who the deceased is? Hu Zi, I urgently need a autopsy now. You go back to the house to rest, and then think about it carefully. What can you confess to me to help me solve the case and get the answer you want."
Hu Zi nodded ignorantly.
Long Xingtu winked Xiao Ding and explained, "You are so happy to take care of Hu Zi. I informed the kitchen to add vegetables for lunch. Hu Zi had just vomited, and the stomach must be empty and needs to be replenished."
Xiao Ding is not too stupid. He finally understands the special purpose of the Dragon Star Map to Hu Zi. It turns out that this arrogant beggar with unknown origin actually has clues to solving the case!
After the two left, Long Xingtu dispersed the onlookers and returned to the morgue.
"Doctor Zhu, search the deceased first. The clothes are easy to break, be careful."
"yes."
Zhu Luci took off all the clothes of the deceased with slight hands and feet. After counting the Dragon Star Chart, the deceased wore three layers, and there was also a layer of cotton shirt between the middle and outer garments.
She said: "The inn is changed to an inn in early February. Judging from the clothes of the deceased, the time for the murder should be in early spring or late autumn."
Zhang Qing nodded: "At least half of it."
Zhu Lu carefully checked whether there were any hidden things in his clothes inside and out. When he was rummaging, a pink silk bellyband fell out of his middle clothes!
"What... what does this mean?" Zhu Rongzuo was holding the thing, feeling embarrassed and shocked. "The deceased is a man, and he actually wears a woman's close body, which is a bad thing!"
Long Xingtu reached out to take the bellyband, looked at it, and thought, "From the size, it is not something for an adult woman, but worn by a little girl. However, the pattern embroidered by the bellyband is a bit strange. As far as I know, it is usually flowers, birds, Ruyi, etc., but this piece is embroidered with three kneeling mice!"
Zhang Qing came over to see it and felt something was wrong. "It was indeed a bit strange. It was a small dress for the little girl to wear close to her body, and it should embroider festive patterns or auspicious meanings such as magpies. How could it be a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted and beat? And it looked like a kneeling?"
"In the human world, kneeling means doing something wrong or apologizing for the sake of high and low etiquette, and the mouse is disgraceful to steal. So does the mouse kneeling mean that the mouse is confessing guilt?" Long Xingtu frowned and a little, and ordered Zhu Lu to "continue to search to see if there is any money and what proves his identity."
Soon, Zhu Lu found a seal from his outer sleeve bag. Zhang Qing quickly took out the ink paste and white rice paper and rubbed it out four words: Han Tong's Seal.
"Han Tong?" Zhu Luzu's eyes lit up, "Is the deceased's name Han Tong?"
