The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 201: Baked 'Bird' in Hand Warmer

A pile of nonsense!

Sun Shaozong made a four-word summary from the main hall of the Criminal Division.

In fact, just before entering the door, he roughly guessed what Liu Chongshan was going to talk about.

As expected, Liu Chongshan started with a standard official accent and then began to complain. In his words, he begged Sun Shaozong to solve the case as soon as possible. He didn’t want to wait for things to become big and delay each other's great prospects.

To tell the truth, this nagging was really superfluous!

Even if he didn’t talk about these things, Sun Shaozong wanted to spend the New Year in peace and let him get out of there as soon as possible so that he could be the boss of the Criminal Division.

However, Sun Shaozong didn't want to talk to him for the sake of him leaving soon. He perfunctorily said a few words to Liu Chongshan, then quickly left and rushed to the backyard morgue.

As soon as he entered the big yard, he saw Qiu Yunfei setting up a free chair in the yard, covered in a leather robe, holding a stove, and stepping on a charcoal basin, lazily basking in the sun.

"How unlucky!"

Before Sun Shaozong opened his mouth, the boy scolded first, then looked at the sky with an affectation and said, "Why did another fool come?"

This boy really hasn't remembered his lesson. Every time he met Sun Shaozong, he would provoke him.

Sun Shaozong's face sank slightly. "Why don't you go there to host the autopsy?"

"Autopsy?"

When Qiu Yunfei heard the word "autopsy," his face was a bit darker than dark clouds. His eyes, nose, eyebrows, and mouth were all crumpled together. It seemed that he had just drunk two kilograms of vinegar. His teeth were sour, and he said, "What's the use of an autopsy?! You were about to carve flowers on the body yesterday. Haven't you found a hair?"

"If you didn't find it yesterday, it doesn't mean you won't find it today," Sun Shaozong said.

Seeing the boy turn around to give an expression of ”Listen to your bullshit,” he said nothing, went up and picked him up like a chick, and walked into the morgue at a fast pace.

"Let go! Let go of me!"

Qiu Yunfei couldn’t bear it. He wanted to fight back, but he was also afraid that if he annoyed Sun Shaozong, he would give him two hard shots of the fierce scene of hitting the galloping horse with a fist. He clearly saw his fists from the side!

Therefore, he could only stretch his neck and squeak like a pestilent chicken.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing the two come in like this, Lin Delu and the corpse examiner, Lao Xu, both seemed to get used to it and saluted respectfully.

Lao Xu then introduced, "It's similar to the three corpses before, but this time the right arm was hurt more seriously, and some broken bones were exposed."

"In addition, from their dress and physical features, they should be rural people who go to the city to buy New Year's goods together."

The first death was two laborers, the second death was a beggar, and the third death was the rural people who went to the city to buy New Year's goods.

Sun Shaozong threw Qiu Yunfei to Lao Xu and muttered, "He seems to be more and more cautious."

Compared with laborers, who have a family and a job, beggars were more likely to be ignored. On New Year's Day, two rural people who went to the city to buy New Year's goods would not be noticed at all.

As he said this, he opened the white sheet on the body and saw that the body had been stripped clean. The dead man was about 16 or 17 years old. He was strong and had a simple and honest face. His painful expression was confused. It seemed that until he died, he couldn’t understand why he had encountered this kind of thing.

Sun Shaozong fixed his eyes on his face for a while, sighed silently, and then moved to his right arm.

As Lao Xu said, the injury on the right arm was more serious this time. Some broken bones, under repeated blows, punctured muscle and skin, and the blood from the break dyed half of the arm reddish-brown.

However, as a result, the swelling degree of the wound has decreased.

"Did the murderer become more and more excited while he was violent?"

Sun Shaozong frowned, which was not a good phenomenon because it indicated that the murderer was likely to continue committing the crime even if it escalated his criminal behavior.

"That's right."

Lao Xu suddenly remembered something. He carefully pulled out a pair of dirty pants from under the bed and said at the foot of the bed, "I found traces of sperm stains on his pants, but I can't determine when the sperm stains came on."

Sperm spot?

Sun Shaozong looked around for a while and then asked Lao Xu to take out the rest of his clothes and have a look at them one by one. He then decided, "It should be after entering the city."

"Although his clothes were stained with a lot of dirt, the inner lining was relatively clean. He likely changed new clothes for the purpose of shopping in the city."

"In that case, what reason does he have to leave a pair of dirty pants with a sperm spot?"

Speaking of this, Sun Shaozong went to another body and stretched out his hand to tear open the white sheet.

The other dead man, a young man about twenty-four or five years old, looked slightly similar to the young man. He was probably his older brother from the same family.

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at the dead man's crotch, Lao Xu hurriedly followed him and explained, "There is no trace of sperm spots on the pants of this dead man."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "People at this age should have married and had children, and their determination is naturally better than that of a young man."

As he spoke, he suddenly shouted and said, "Inspector Qiu, go and bring in the fireplace you just held!"

"What are you going to do with that?"

Qiu Yunfei muttered in puzzlement but went out quietly and took the stove in.

Sun Shaozong snatched it, but carefully placed it between the legs of the body, close to the unspeakable thing!

"Damn it!"

Qiu Yunfei immediately blew up and jumped to scold, "What's wrong with you?! That's what I used to warm my hands. How dare you take it to roast birds of dead people?!"

With that, he would go forward and tear up with Sun Shaozong.

"Shh!"

Lao Xu hurriedly stopped him and said admiringly, "The Master wants to thaw it so that he can see if this man had any impulse before he died. Master Sun is indeed Master Sun. He’s really smart!"

Qiu Yunfei said angrily, "Damn your mother, what kind of smart move is this! That stove cost me more than 120 silver taels..."

"A hundred taels of silver is nothing to you." Lao Xu advised again, "Besides, even if you take it back now, do you dare to use it?"

"I..."

Qiu Yunfei stopped talking for a while, and finally stamped his foot and said, "If you can't find anything, I won't give you a good look!"

That was to say, after just being furious, he would not dare to fight with Sun Shaozong.

So everyone was waiting, and the "Queer" gradually thawed under the baking stove…
